5 terms
Clean Fuel Production Credit regulatory
"The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 introduced the Clean Fuel Production Credit (“Section 45Z”) for qualifying fuel"
A clean fuel production credit is a government tax incentive that gives producers a payment or tax offset for making fuels that release less greenhouse gas than conventional alternatives. Think of it like a rebate or bonus that lowers the effective cost of producing greener fuels; investors watch it because the credit can materially boost a producer’s revenue, improve project returns, and influence decisions about new facilities or equipment.
accounts receivable securitization program financial
"The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program (the “First Program”) with certain commercial paper"
An accounts receivable securitization program is a financing arrangement where a company converts its unpaid customer invoices into immediate cash by packaging them and selling the right to collect those payments to investors or a third party. For investors, it matters because the program can boost a company’s short-term cash and reduce borrowing needs, but it also shifts credit risk and can affect reported assets, liabilities and future cash flows—similar to selling a bundle of IOUs to get money now.
Supplier Payable Programs financial
"The Company has Supplier Payable Programs (“SPP”) with financial institutions which act as its paying agents"
net investment hedges financial
"The Company uses cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange forwards designated as net investment hedges"
A net investment hedge is a financial step a company takes to protect the reported value of its ownership in foreign subsidiaries from swings in exchange rates. By using derivatives or foreign‑currency borrowings to offset translation gains or losses, the company reduces how much its balance sheet and reported equity jump around when currencies move — like locking a price tag on a foreign store so its value in the home currency stays steadier for investors.

(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation, Principles of Consolidation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Consolidated Financial Statements of Archer-Daniels-Midland Company and its subsidiaries (“ADM” or the “Company”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results reported in these Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Certain prior period data has been reclassified in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes to conform to the current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
Segregated Cash and Investments
The Company segregates certain cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances in accordance with regulatory requirements, commodity clearinghouse requirements, and insurance arrangements.
Within ADM Investor Services, the Company’s registered futures commission merchant and provider of commodity brokerage services, deposits received from customers, cash margins and securities pledged to commodity exchange clearinghouses or other brokers, and cash pledged as security under certain insurance arrangements are classified as segregated balances. To the extent these segregated balances are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, they are considered restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The payables to brokerage customers have a corresponding balance in segregated cash and investments and segregated customer omnibus receivable in other current assets.
The following represents a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as of June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in millions).

These investments are generally in companies in the startup or development stages, and the markets for products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages. The Company’s evaluation of privately held investments is based on the fundamentals of the businesses invested in. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of such investments to determine if any valuation adjustments are appropriate under the applicable accounting pronouncements.
Cost method investments of $163 million and $143 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were included in Other non-current assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Investments in Affiliates
Wilmar Investment
The Company had a 22.5 4.1 billion as of June 30, 2026, and a market value of $3.9 billion based on the Level 1 quoted Singapore Exchange market price, converted to U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rate, at June 30, 2026.
In accordance with its accounting policy, as of June 30, 2026, the Company evaluated several factors in its determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment of its investment in Wilmar had occurred as of that date. This included consideration of the severity and duration of the carrying value being above Wilmar's stock price, the recent performance of Wilmar’s stock price as quoted on the Singapore Exchange, including stock price performance subsequent to the balance sheet date, Wilmar's financial condition and near-term performance prospects, and latest consensus analyst forecasts. The Company considers its investment in Wilmar a significant and strategic relationship and has the intent and ability to retain its investment in Wilmar for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. Based on the evaluation of the factors above, the Company does not consider the investment to be other-than temporarily impaired at June 30, 2026. The Company will continue to reassess its investment in Wilmar, which may result in the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment in the future.

Clean Fuel Production Credits
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 introduced the Clean Fuel Production Credit (“Section 45Z”) for qualifying fuel produced and sold between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2029.
The Company elected to account for Section 45Z credits as government grants in the period qualifying fuel is produced and sold, and when it becomes probable that the Company will meet the eligibility requirements to earn and receive the credit. Section 45Z credits are initially measured at estimated fair value reflecting the credit value upon monetization. Subsequently, changes in assumptions impacting the credit value are accounted for prospectively as changes in accounting estimates. Unmonetized Section 45Z credits are recorded within Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the recognized benefit and related transaction costs are recorded within Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which simplifies the application of the current expected credit loss model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Contracts with Customers. The adoption of the guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Hedge Accounting. The amended guidance within this ASU is intended to simplify cash flow hedge accounting and enhance the hedging of variable price-components of nonfinancial forecasted transactions. Among other changes, the amendments eliminate the requirement for contractually specified price components in order to qualify for risk componentization for a cash flow hedge program for forecasted nonfinancial transactions. The amendments better align hedge accounting with the Company’s commodity risk management activities and improved the operability of its commodity cash flow hedge program. The adoption did not have a significant effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Effective January 1, 2027, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract, which expands the scope of contracts that are excluded from derivative accounting to include certain non-exchange traded contracts. It also clarifies that the revenue guidance in ASC 606, Contracts with Customers, initially applies to share-based noncash consideration received from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
Effective January 1, 2027, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which amends the existing framework for identifying the accounting acquirer in business combinations when the legal acquiree is a VIE by requiring entities to consider the general accounting acquirer factors in ASC 805-10, Business Combination-Overall, when the transaction is primarily effected by the exchange of equity interests. The new guidance is required to be applied prospectively to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective December 31, 2027, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of income statement expenses, which will require tabular disclosure of certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments in this ASU can be applied on a prospective basis or retrospective basis upon adoption. The adoption of the amended guidance will result in expanded disclosures in the Company’s footnotes but is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective January 1, 2028, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods and provides new guidance on how to evaluate whether the probable-to-completion recognition threshold has been met. The amendments in this ASU can be applied on a prospective basis or retrospective basis upon adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The amendments in this ASU also require separate presentation of environmental credit assets from environmental credit obligations on the balance sheet. The amendments in this ASU are required to be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective January 1, 2029, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (Topic 832), which establishes authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants received by business entities. Under this ASU, government grants are recognized when it is probable that the entity will comply with the grant’s conditions and will receive the grant. Grants related to income may be presented either as a separate line item or as a reduction of the related expenses. Grants related to assets may reduce the carrying amount of the related asset or be presented as deferred income. This ASU also requires disclosure of the nature and terms of grants, the accounting policies applied, and significant conditions. The amendments in this ASU can be applied on a modified prospective or retrospective basis upon adoption.

Topic 815 revenue relates to the physical delivery or the settlement of the Company’s sales contracts that are accounted for as derivatives and are outside the scope of Topic 606. Physically settled derivative sales contracts primarily relate to forward commodity sales that meet the definition of a derivative under Topic 815.
Ag Services and Oilseeds
The Ag Services and Oilseeds segment generates revenue from commodity sales, service fees related to the transportation of goods, sales of products manufactured in its global processing facilities, and structured trade finance activities. Revenue from commodities contracts is recognized at a point in time, upon transferring control of the commodity to the customer, consistent with the recognition principles under Topic 606. Revenue for deferred price contracts that allow for pricing to be determined after title of the goods has passed to the customer may be recognized when the price is determined.
Carbohydrate Solutions
The Carbohydrate Solutions segment generates revenue from the sale of products manufactured at the Company’s corn and wheat milling facilities around the world. Revenue is recognized when control over products is transferred to the customer, consistent with the recognition principles under Topic 606. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the consideration specified in the contract which could include freight and other costs depending on the specific shipping terms of each contract.
Nutrition
The Nutrition segment generates revenue from the sale of ingredients and solutions including plant-based proteins, natural flavors, flavor systems, natural colors, emulsifiers, soluble fiber, polyols, hydrocolloids, probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, enzymes, botanical extracts, edible beans, formula feeds, animal health and nutrition products, pet food and treats, and other specialty food and feed ingredients.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to measure the majority of its assets and liabilities carried at fair value.
Three levels are established within the fair value hierarchy that may be used to report fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable inputs, including Level 1 prices that have been adjusted; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges; and other inputs that are observable or can be substantially corroborated by observable market data.

Inventories Carried at Market and Inventory-Related Payables
Estimated fair values for inventories and inventory-related payables stated at market are based on exchange-quoted prices, adjusted for differences in local markets and quality, referred to as basis. Market valuations for the Company’s inventories are adjusted for location and quality (basis) because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts with standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade. The basis adjustments are generally determined using inputs from competitor and broker quotations or market transactions and are considered observable. Basis adjustments are impacted by specific local supply and demand characteristics at each facility and the overall market. Factors such as substitute products, weather, fuel costs, contract terms, and futures prices also impact the movement of these basis adjustments.
Inventory is classified as Level 2, except in certain cases, where the basis adjustments are unobservable, and unobservable inputs have a significant impact (more than 10%) on the measurement of fair value. In such cases the inventory is classified as Level 3.
Changes in the fair value of inventories and inventory-related payables are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a component of Cost of products sold.
Unrealized Derivative Gains and Losses
Derivative contracts include exchange-traded commodity futures and options contracts, physical commodity purchase and sale contracts, and over-the-counter (“OTC”) instruments related primarily to agricultural commodities, energy, interest rates, and foreign currencies. Substantially all of the Company’s exchange-traded commodity futures and options contracts are cash-settled on a daily basis and, therefore, are not included in these tables.
Fair value for commodity purchase and sale contracts is estimated based on exchange-quoted prices adjusted for differences in local markets. Market valuations for the Company’s physical commodity purchase and sale contracts are adjusted for location (basis) because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts that have standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade. The basis adjustments are generally determined using inputs from competitor and broker quotations or market transactions and are considered observable. Basis adjustments are impacted by specific local supply and demand characteristics at each facility and the overall market. Factors such as substitute products, weather, fuel costs, contract terms, and futures prices also impact the movement of these basis adjustments. Physical commodity purchase and sale contracts are classified as Level 2, except in certain cases, where the basis adjustments are unobservable, and unobservable inputs have a significant impact (more than 10%) on the measurement of fair value. In such cases the contract is classified as Level 3.
Except for certain derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of commodity-related derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a component of Cost of products sold.
Except for certain derivatives designated as net investment hedges, changes in the fair value of foreign currency-related derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a component of Revenues, Cost of products sold, and Other (income) - net, depending upon the purpose of the contract.
Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds valued using quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1.
Marketable Securities
The Company's marketable securities are comprised of foreign government securities and foreign term deposits with original maturities greater than 90 days. These securities are valued using quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1.

Transfers into Level 3 of assets and liabilities previously classified in Level 2 were due to the relative value of unobservable inputs to the total fair value measurement of certain products and derivative contracts rising above the 10% threshold. Transfers out of Level 3 were primarily due to the relative value of unobservable inputs to the total fair value measurement of certain products and derivative contracts falling below the 10% threshold and thus permitting reclassification to Level 2.
In some cases, the price components that result in differences between exchange-traded prices and local prices for inventories and physical commodity purchase and sale contracts are observable based upon available quotations for these pricing components, and in some cases, the differences are unobservable. These price components primarily include transportation costs and other basis adjustments required due to location, quality, or other contract terms. The changes in unobservable price components are determined by specific local supply and demand characteristics at each location and the overall market. Factors such as substitute products, weather, fuel costs, contract terms, and futures prices also impact the movement of these unobservable price components.

In certain of the Company’s principal markets, the Company relies on price quotes from third parties to value its inventories and physical commodity purchase and sale contracts. These price quotes are generally not further adjusted by the Company in determining the applicable market price. In some cases, availability of third-party quotes is limited to only one or two independent sources. In these situations, absent other corroborating evidence, the Company considers these price quotes as 100% unobservable and, therefore, the fair value of these items is reported in Level 3.
Note 5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivatives Not Designated As Hedging Instruments
The majority of the Company’s derivative instruments have not been designated as hedging instruments.
The Company uses exchange-traded and OTC commodity instruments to manage its net position of merchandisable agricultural product inventories and cash purchase and sales contracts to reduce price risk caused by market fluctuations in agricultural commodities and foreign currencies.
The Company also uses exchange-traded and OTC commodity instruments as components of merchandising strategies designed to enhance margins. The results of these strategies can be significantly impacted by factors such as the correlation between the value of exchange-traded commodities futures and the value of the underlying commodities, counterparty contract defaults, and volatility of freight markets.
The Company recognizes changes in market value of inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, inventory-related payables, forward cash purchase and sales contracts, and exchange-traded and OTC instruments in earnings immediately as a component of Cost of products sold.

Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flow that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and as an operating activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item affected by the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, if any, and gains and losses related to discontinued hedges are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the relevant period.
For each of the hedge programs described below, the derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in the market value of such derivative contracts have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting changes in price movements of the hedged item. Once the hedged item is recognized in earnings, the gains and losses arising from the hedge are reclassified from AOCI to either Revenues or Cost of products sold, as applicable.
The Company uses exchange-traded futures and options contracts to hedge the purchase price of anticipated volumes of corn to be purchased and processed in a future month. The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s forecasted purchases of corn. The Company’s corn processing plants normally grind approximately 56 million bushels of corn per month. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 11 % and 32 % of its monthly grind. At June 30, 2026, the Company had designated hedges representing between 0 % and 26 % of its anticipated monthly grind of corn for the next 12 months.
The Company uses exchange-traded futures and options contracts to hedge the purchase price of the anticipated volumes of soybeans to be purchased and processed in a future month for certain of its U.S. soybean crush facilities, subject to certain program limits. The Company also uses exchange-traded futures and options contracts to hedge the sales prices of anticipated soybean meal and soybean oil sales proportionate to the soybean crushing process at these facilities, subject to certain program limits. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 22 % and 100 % of the anticipated monthly soybean crush for soybean purchases and soybean meal and soybean oil sales at the designated facilities. At June 30, 2026, the Company had designated hedges representing between 0 % and 99 % of the anticipated monthly soybean crush for soybean purchases and soybean meal and soybean oil sales at the designated facilities over the next 12 months.
The Company uses exchange-traded futures and OTC swaps to hedge the purchase price of anticipated volumes of natural gas consumption in a future month for certain of its facilities in North America and Europe, subject to certain program limits. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 24 % and 74 % of the anticipated monthly natural gas consumption at the designated facilities. At June 30, 2026, the Company had designated hedges representing between 16 % and 58 % of the anticipated monthly natural gas consumption over the next 12 months.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had after-tax (losses) gains of $(22 ) million and $13 million, respectively, in AOCI related to gains and losses from these programs. The Company expects to recognize $22 million of the June 30, 2026 after-tax losses in its Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the next 12 months.
Fair Value Hedges
The Company uses interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to protect the fair value of fixed-rate debt due to changes in interest rates. The changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and the underlying fixed-rate debt is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the current period. The terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the underlying debt.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had pre-tax gains of $6 million and $17 million, respectively, in Other current assets related to interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $500

Net Investment Hedges
The Company uses cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange forwards designated as net investment hedges to protect the Company’s investment in foreign subsidiaries against changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company executed USD-fixed to Euro-fixed cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $435 million and $447 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and foreign exchange forwards with an aggregate notional amount of $2.5 billion and $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

These amounts are deferred in AOCI until the underlying investments are divested.
The Company had previously designated its €650 million outstanding long-term debt and commercial paper borrowings as a hedge of its net investment in a foreign subsidiary. This long-term debt matured in September 2025 and was paid in full in the year ended December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had after-tax gains of $176

Note 8. Debt and Financing Arrangements
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding the current portion, was $6.1 billion and $6.3 billion, respectively, as estimated using quoted market prices (a Level 2 measurement under applicable accounting standards), compared to carrying values of $6.5 billion and $6.6 billion as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had lines of credit, including accounts receivable securitization programs, totaling $12.6 billion and $12.3 billion, respectively, of which $10.0 billion and $9.4 billion, respectively, was unused.

The decrease in the effective tax rates is primarily driven by non-taxable benefits associated with Section 45Z, recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as well as the tax effects of certain impairment charges recognized during the corresponding periods of 2025.

Note 12. Segment Information
The Company’s operations are organized, managed, and classified into three reportable segments: Ag Services and Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions, and Nutrition.
Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services offered. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified within either Corporate or Other Business.
The reportable segments have been identified based on financial data utilized by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company’s Chair of the Board. The CODM uses segment operating profit as the measurement of segment profit or loss. Separate financial information for the Company’s three reportable segments is evaluated by the CODM on a monthly basis to allocate resources and assess performance. The CODM does not use total assets by segment to make decisions regarding resources; therefore, the total asset disclosure by segment has not been included. Segment operating profit is based on net sales less identifiable operating expenses. Also included in segment operating profit is equity in (loss) earnings of affiliates based on the equity method of accounting. Specified items and certain corporate items are not allocated to the Company’s individual business segments because operating performance of each business segment is evaluated by the CODM exclusive of these items.
The Ag Services and Oilseeds segment includes global activities related to the origination, merchandising, transportation, and storage of agricultural raw materials, as well as the crushing and processing of oilseeds, including soybeans and soft seeds such as cottonseed, sunflower seed, canola, rapeseed, and flaxseed. The segment produces and markets vegetable oils and oilseed protein meals used by food, feed, energy, and industrial customers. Crude and partially refined vegetable oils are sold to third parties, including renewable diesel manufacturers, or further processed into salad oils, margarine, shortening, biodiesel, glycols, and other food and industrial products. Oilseed protein meals are primarily sold as ingredients for commercial livestock and poultry feeds. The segment is also a major supplier of peanuts and peanut‑derived ingredients and manufactures cotton cellulose pulp in North America for chemical, paper, and other industrial markets. In addition, its integrated grain sourcing, handling, and multimodal transportation network supports global import, export, and distribution activities and provides essential services to customers and the Company’s processing operations. The Company also engages in various structured trade finance activities to leverage its global trade flows. This segment also includes the Company’s share of the results of its equity investments in Wilmar, Pacificor, LLC, SoyVen Holding B.V., Olenex Holdings B.V., Edible Oils Limited, Stratas Foods LLC, Terminal de Grãos Ponta da Montanha S.A., Gradable, LLC, Two Rivers Premium Oils, LLC, and Plainsman Company LLC.

The Carbohydrate Solutions segment engages in corn and wheat wet and dry milling and related processing activities. The segment converts corn and wheat into products and ingredients used in food and beverage applications, including sweeteners, starches, syrups, glucose, wheat flour, and dextrose. Dextrose and starches are also utilized as feedstocks in downstream processes, including fermentation to produce alcohol and other food and animal feed ingredients. Ethanol is produced for use in transportation fuel and industrial applications, and the associated production process also generates corn oil, distillers’ grains and other co-products for food, feed, and industrial markets. In addition, the segment produces distillers’ grains, corn gluten feed, and corn gluten meal for use as animal feed ingredients. Corn germ, a by‑product of wet milling, is further processed into vegetable oil and protein meal, and citric acids are produced for food and industrial applications. The Carbohydrate Solutions segment also advances carbon capture and storage and other emissions‑reduction initiatives, positioning the business to support lower‑carbon operations and the growing use of plant‑based alternatives to fossil‑derived materials. This segment also includes the Company’s share of the results of its equity investments in Hungrana Kft, Almidones Mexicanos, S.A. de CV, Aston Krahmalo-Produkty, LLC, Red Star Yeast Company, LLC, and LSCP, LLC.
The Nutrition segment serves various end markets including food, beverages, and nutritional supplements for humans, and complete feed, feed premix and additives, pet food and pet treats for livestock, aquaculture, and pets. The segment engages in the creation, manufacturing, sale, and distribution of a wide array of ingredients and solutions including plant-based proteins, flavors and colors derived from nature, flavor systems, emulsifiers, soluble fiber, polyols, hydrocolloids, probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, enzymes, botanical extracts, and other specialty food and feed ingredients and systems. The Nutrition segment also includes activities related to the procurement, processing, and distribution of edible beans, the processing and distribution of formula feeds and animal health and nutrition products and the manufacture of contract and private label pet treats and foods. This segment also includes the Company’s share of the results of its equity investments in Akralos Holding Company LLC, Vimison, S.A. de C.V., Dusial S.A., Vitafort Zrt., Novial SAS, and ADM / Matsutani LLC.
Other Business results include the results of ADM Investor Services and the Company’s captive insurance business, which provides captive insurance services to the Company's reportable segments. Corporate results principally include unallocated corporate expenses, interest, and revaluation results for investments in early-stage start-up companies.
Intersegment sales have been recorded using principles consistent with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Note 13. Asset Impairment, Exit, and Restructuring Costs
The following table sets forth the charges included in asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs, presented as specified items (in millions).

(1)On February 4, 2025, the Company announced targeted actions expected to deliver in excess of $500 million of aggregate cost savings in 3 to 5 years, which commenced in 2025. These include cost optimization and portfolio simplification initiatives designed to help the Company achieve cost efficiencies. Charges associated with these actions, as well as similar initiatives in prior periods, are reflected as restructuring charges, which primarily include severance charges and impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets.
Note 14. Sale of Accounts Receivable
The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program (the “First Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “First Purchasers”). Under the First Program, certain U.S. originated trade accounts receivable are sold to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote entity, ADM Receivables, LLC (“ADM Receivables”). ADM Receivables transfers certain of the purchased accounts receivable to each of the First Purchasers together with a security interest in all of its right, title, and interest in the remaining purchased accounts receivable. In exchange, ADM Receivables receives a cash payment of up to $1.7 billion for the accounts receivable transferred. The First Program terminates on May 14, 2027, unless extended.
The Company also has an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Second Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “Second Purchasers”). Under the Second Program, certain non-U.S. originated trade accounts receivable are sold to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote entity, ADM Ireland Receivables Company (“ADM Ireland Receivables”). ADM Ireland Receivables transfers certain of the purchased accounts receivable to each of the Second Purchasers together with a security interest in all of its right, title, and interest in the remaining purchased accounts receivable. In exchange, ADM Ireland Receivables receives a cash payment of up to $1.3 billion (€1.1 billion) for the accounts receivables transferred. The Second Program terminates on November 18, 2026, unless extended.
Under the First and Second Programs (collectively, the “Programs”), ADM Receivables and ADM Ireland Receivables use the cash proceeds from the transfer of receivables to the First Purchasers and Second Purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”) and other consideration, as applicable, to finance the purchase of receivables from the Company and the ADM subsidiaries originating the receivables. The Company accounts for these transfers as sales of accounts receivable. The Company acts as a servicer for the transferred receivables.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of trade receivables transferred to the Purchasers under the Programs and derecognized from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets was $2.2 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively. Total receivables sold were $24.2 billion and $22.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Cash collections from customers on receivables sold were $23.7 billion and $22.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. All cash flows under the Programs are classified as operating activities because the cash received from the Purchasers upon both the sale and the collection of the receivables is not subject to significant interest rate risk given the short-term nature of the Company’s trade receivables. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, receivables pledged as collateral to the Purchasers was $669 million and $290 million, respectively.

(UNAUDITED)
Transfers of receivables under the Programs resulted in an expense of $9 million and $19 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $16 million and $36 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, which are classified as Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Note 15. Supplier Payable Programs
The Company has Supplier Payable Programs (“SPP”) with financial institutions which act as its paying agents for payables due to certain of its suppliers. The Company has neither an economic interest in a supplier’s participation in the SPP nor a direct financial relationship with the financial institutions, and has concluded that its obligations to the suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by their participation in the SPP. Accordingly, amounts associated with the SPP continue to be classified in trade payables in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and in operating activities in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the program require payment in full generally within 120 days of the invoice date.
Changes to the outstanding payment obligations were as follows (in millions).

Note 16. Legal Proceedings
The Company is routinely involved in a number of actual or threatened legal actions, including those involving alleged personal injuries, employment law, product liability, intellectual property, environmental issues, alleged tax liability, and class actions. The Company also routinely receives inquiries from regulators and other government authorities relating to various aspects of its business, and at any given time, the Company has matters at various stages of resolution. The outcomes of these matters are not within the Company’s complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In some actions, claimants seek damages, as well as other relief including injunctive relief, that could require significant expenditures or result in lost revenues.
In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company records a liability in its Consolidated Financial Statements for material loss contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. When determining the estimated loss or range of loss, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. Estimates of probable losses resulting from litigation and governmental proceedings involving the Company are inherently difficult to predict, particularly when the matters are in early procedural stages, with incomplete facts or legal discovery; involve unsubstantiated or indeterminate claims for damages; potentially involve penalties, fines, disgorgement, or punitive damages; or could result in a change in business practice.
The Company’s estimated loss or range of loss with respect to loss contingencies may change from time to time, and it is reasonably possible the Company will incur actual losses in excess of the amounts currently accrued and such additional amounts may be material. While the Company continues to work with parties with respect to potential resolution, no assurance can be given that it will be successful in doing so and the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

Commodities Class Actions
On September 4, 2019, AOT Holding AG (“AOT”) filed a putative class action under the U.S. Commodities Exchange Act in federal district court in Urbana, Illinois, alleging that the Company sought to manipulate the benchmark price used to price and settle ethanol derivatives traded on futures exchanges. On March 16, 2021, AOT filed an amended complaint adding a second named plaintiff Maize Capital Group, LLC (“Maize”). AOT and Maize allege that members of the putative class collectively suffered damages calculated to be between approximately $500 million to over $2.0 billion as a result of the Company’s alleged actions. On July 14, 2020, Green Plains Inc. and its related entities (“GP”) filed a putative class action lawsuit, alleging substantially the same operative facts, in federal court in Nebraska, seeking to represent sellers of ethanol. On July 23, 2020, Midwest Renewable Energy, LLC (“MRE”) filed a putative class action in federal court in Illinois alleging substantially the same operative facts and asserting claims under the Sherman Act. On November 11, 2020, United Wisconsin Grain Producers LLC and several other ethanol producers (collectively, “UWGP”) filed a lawsuit in federal court in Illinois alleging substantially the same facts and asserting claims under the Sherman Act and Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin law. The court granted ADM’s motion to dismiss the MRE and UWGP complaints without prejudice on August 9, 2021 and September 28, 2021, respectively. On August 16, 2021, the court granted ADM’s motion to dismiss the GP complaint, dismissing one claim with prejudice and declining jurisdiction over the remaining state law claim. MRE filed an amended complaint on August 30, 2021, which ADM moved to dismiss on September 27, 2021. The court denied ADM’s motion to dismiss on September 26, 2023. UWGP filed an amended complaint on October 19, 2021, which the court dismissed on July 12, 2022. UWGP appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (the “Seventh Circuit”). On October 26, 2021, GP filed a new complaint in Nebraska federal district court, alleging substantially the same facts and asserting a claim for tortious interference with contractual relations. The case was transferred back to the Central District of Illinois, and on December 30, 2022, the court dismissed GP’s complaint with prejudice. GP appealed the dismissal, and on January 12, 2024, the appellate court vacated the dismissal and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings. On March 8, 2024, GP filed an amended complaint, which ADM moved to dismiss. On December 3, 2024, the court issued a decision on ADM’s motion to dismiss GP’s amended complaint, denying one ground for dismissal and certifying a question of law to the Nebraska Supreme Court before deciding the other ground. On July 18, 2025, the Seventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal of UWGP’s amended complaint. Following that decision, the district court ordered that ADM may file a renewed motion to dismiss MRE’s amended complaint, which ADM filed on October 6, 2025. Separately, on September 26, 2025, UWGP filed a complaint against ADM in Wisconsin state court asserting one claim for tortious interference with contractual relations. ADM moved to dismiss UWGP’s complaint in Wisconsin state court on November 24, 2025. On February 27, 2026, the Nebraska Supreme Court issued an opinion on the certified question regarding GP’s amended complaint, and the Illinois federal district court subsequently dismissed GP’s case with prejudice on March 12, 2026. On April 28, 2026, the Wisconsin state court granted ADM’s motion and dismissed UWGP’s case with prejudice. UWGP appealed the dismissal to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals on May 19, 2026.
The Company denies liability and is vigorously defending itself in these actions. As these actions are in pretrial proceedings, the Company is unable at this time to predict the final outcome with any reasonable degree of certainty, but believes the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Shareholder Litigation
As previously disclosed, on January 24, 2024, following the Company’s announcement of an investigation relating to intersegment sales, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative securities fraud class action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company and certain of its current and former officers (collectively, the “Defendants”). On March 12, 2025, the court denied Defendants’ motions to dismiss. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against these claims. However, given the uncertainty of litigation, the Company is unable to predict the final outcome of this proceeding with any reasonable degree of certainty, nor does it currently have sufficient information to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss with respect to this matter.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, which can be found in Part I. Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements.
Company Overview
Archer-Daniels-Midland Company and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "ADM") unlocks the power of nature to enrich the quality of life. The Company is an essential global agricultural supply chain manager and processor, providing food security by connecting local needs with global capabilities. ADM is also a premier human and animal nutrition provider, as well as a leader in health and well-being products.
Reportable Segments
The Company’s operations are organized, managed, and classified into three reportable segments: Ag Services and Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions, and Nutrition. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified within either Corporate or Other Business.
See Part I. Item 1. Note 12. Segment Information of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for further details on the nature of our business and our reportable operating segments.
2026 Priorities
The Company established the following priorities for 2026 to help achieve its goal to continue to build and sustain long-term value creation for its shareholders and customers:
•Continuing to improve manufacturing costs - Driving manufacturing efficiencies and lower costs through process streamlining, further automation, and improved utilization rates.
•Reducing transaction costs through digitalization and Artificial Intelligence - Targeting reductions in the cost of executing transactions across our global footprint, including further digitizing workflows to reduce manual touchpoints, errors and cycle times, optimizing freight and logistics networks, and enhancing supply chain management.
•Investing in high-growth opportunities - Generating returns in the short-to-medium term and the long-term based on our value creation pathways of advanced nutrition, functional health, biosolutions, precision fermentation and decarbonization.
•Developing talent and capabilities - Ensuring our workforce has the skills and capabilities our business needs for today and for the future, including creating dedicated centers of capability in critical functional areas.
Sustainability
For more than 120 years, ADM has built its business on the strength of agriculture, innovation, and responsible stewardship. Today, sustainability is a core driver of ADM’s growth strategy, powering innovation, improving resilience, and unlocking new value across the global food system. The crops that ADM turns into an expansive array of products depend on healthy soil, water and air, and as the Company looks to the future, it is advancing efforts that enable and support agriculture and farmers, drive innovation and long-term value, and protect and strengthen vital supply chains.

ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ADM is focused on scaling regenerative practices in partnership with farmers by supporting them with tools, insights, and financial incentives to help their operations thrive. ADM is innovating to meet growing demand for sustainably sourced, bio-based products, creating new market opportunities for farmers whose crops deliver health, transparency, and environmental benefits. The Company is modernizing its own operations to improve efficiency, enhance competitiveness, reduce emissions, and help build a more resilient supply chain.
Significant Portfolio Actions and Targeted Actions to Deliver Cost Savings
On February 4, 2025, the Company announced targeted actions expected to deliver in excess of $500 million of aggregate cost savings in 3 to 5 years, which commenced in 2025. These include cost optimization and portfolio simplification initiatives designed to help the Company achieve cost efficiencies. See Note 13. Asset Impairment, Exit, and Restructuring Costs of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding restructuring related charges.
ADM’s recent significant portfolio actions and announcements included:
•The launch of Two Rivers Premium Oils, LLC, a cottonseed joint venture, in January 2026 with Planters Cotton Oil Mill Inc. (“Planters”), a premier cottonseed processor. Planters contributed its crush plant in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, as well as additional origination and storage facilities located in the region, to the joint venture. ADM contributed its Memphis, Tennessee, cottonseed facility.
•The launch of Akralos Holding Company LLC, an animal feed joint venture, in March 2026 with Alltech Inc., a global leader in agriculture, of a North American animal feed joint venture to offer an industry-leading range of products and solutions for livestock, equine, backyard and leisure animals. Alltech and ADM contributed feed mills across the U.S. and Canada, along with respective portions of premix supplies.
Renewable Fuel Standard and Clean Fuel Production Credit
The Company continues to monitor regulatory and other developments in the U.S. biofuel market.
In February 2026, the U.S. Treasury and IRS proposed regulations relating to policy incentives under Section 45Z of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 45Z”). In March 2026, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s announcement of the final Renewable Volume Obligations (“RVO”) for 2026 and 2027 under the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard increased certain renewable fuel blending requirements.
In the three months ended March 31, 2026, these regulatory announcements provided additional visibility into renewable fuel demand and incentive frameworks and positively impacted renewable fuel blending economics, clean fuel credit values, and demand for certain agricultural feedstocks. The impact on the U.S. biofuel market continued in the three months ended June 30, 2026, and continued to benefit the Company’s ethanol and biofuel operations, as well as crush and grind margins. However, renewable fuel markets remain subject to ongoing regulatory, legislative, and implementation risks, including the timing and substance of final Section 45Z regulations, future policy actions, changes in credit values and shifts in blending economics which could continue to drive volatility in the Company’s results of operations.
Tariff Uncertainty
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize the imposition of tariffs by the executive branch. While the decision invalidated the presidential administration’s tariffs imposed under IEEPA, it did not establish a refund mechanism, which was subsequently set up by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) in April 2026. The CBP initiated the refund process in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The Company is monitoring the refund process and related tariff risks, including potential new tariffs and the expected United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”) review process. However, based on the information currently available to it, the Company does not expect tariff-related risks to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating Performance Indicators
The Company’s Ag Services and Oilseeds and Carbohydrate Solutions segments are principally agricultural commodity-based businesses where changes in selling prices move in relationship to changes in prices of the commodity-based agricultural raw materials. As a result, changes in agricultural commodity prices have relatively equal impacts on both Revenues and Cost of products sold. Mark-to-market and timing impacts represent changes in agricultural commodity pricing and foreign currency market factors and are not necessarily reflective of the operating performance of our business. Mark-to-market and timing impacts represent the estimated net unrealized gain and loss impacts of market factor changes on the valuation of certain of our merchandisable commodity inventories (including certain commodity inventories valued at the lower of cost or market), cash purchase and sales contracts, and futures and foreign currency contracts. The final mark-to-market and timing impacts will be realized when the underlying inventory, cash purchase and sales contracts, and futures and foreign currency contracts are settled.
The Company's Nutrition segment primarily utilizes agricultural commodities (or products derived from agricultural commodities) as raw materials. However, in these operations, agricultural commodity market price changes do not necessarily strongly correlate to changes in cost of products sold. As a result, changes in revenues may correspond to changes in margins.
The Company has consolidated subsidiaries in more than 70 countries. For the majority of the Company’s subsidiaries located outside the United States, the local currency is the functional currency except for certain significant subsidiaries in Switzerland where the Euro is the functional currency, and Brazil and Argentina where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates for the applicable periods. For the majority of the Company’s business activities in Brazil and Argentina, the functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, certain transactions, including taxes, occur in local currency and require remeasurement to the functional currency. Changes in revenues are expected to be correlated to changes in expenses reported by the Company caused by fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Brazilian real, as compared to the U.S. dollar.
The Company measures its performance using key financial metrics including net earnings, adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), margins, segment operating profit, total segment operating profit, earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), and adjusted EBITDA. Some of these metrics are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. For further information, see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below.
The Company’s financial results can vary significantly due to changes in factors such as fluctuations in energy prices, weather conditions, crop plantings, government programs and policies, trade policies, changes in global demand, general global economic conditions, changes in standards of living, global production of similar and competitive crops, and geopolitical developments. Due to the unpredictable nature of these and other factors, the Company undertakes no responsibility for updating any forward-looking information contained within this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Market Factors Influencing Operations and Results in the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2026
The Company is subject to a variety of market factors which affect the Company's operating results, including those discussed below related to the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
In the Ag Services and Oilseeds segment, geopolitical uncertainty, including global conflicts, logistical and weather challenges, combined with confirmation of U.S. biofuel policy contributed to crush margin expansion in both soy and canola. North America benefited from strong domestic demand from crush producers, resulting from the RVO announcement combined with higher global energy prices, continued sales to China as well as strong execution in fertilizer. Transportation benefited from higher freight rates due to strong corn demand, which more than offset volume constraints. Global Trade was impacted by freight supply concerns, logistical dislocations, including congestion at the Panama Canal, and increased bunker costs. Higher heating oil values contributed to improved U.S. biodiesel margins and, as a result, soybean oil demand. Higher soybean meal export demand provided additional support to the crushing complex.

ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In the Carbohydrate Solutions segment, lower North America corn prices and sustained strength in international energy prices allowed ethanol values from the US to be competitive around the world. After seasonal downtime in the first half of the quarter, the industry responded to the market signals with high capacity utilization. North America liquid sweetener demand remained soft while starch demand continues to show signs of recovery. Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”) Starches and Sweeteners were pressured by demand softness across the food and industrial segments.
In the Nutrition segment, the Flavors market continued to grow with energy and ready to drink beverages continuing to perform strongly. The Dietary Supplements market also continued to grow and presents potential expansion opportunities as customer acceptance of postbiotics allows sales in a larger variety of segments (food and beverage). While shifts in customer sentiment and inflation continue to pose challenges, clean label and healthier categories are outpacing the broader industry. For Animal Nutrition, stabilizing commodity prices continued to support feed ration commodities, as well as additive markets.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Results of Operations
Earnings before income taxes was $1.1 billion compared to $279 million in the prior year quarter. Results in the current year quarter were primarily driven by improved operational execution amid a dynamic pricing environment. The increase in earnings before income taxes reflected impairment, exit, and restructuring costs and revaluation losses of $324 million in the prior year quarter.
Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) increased $620 million, from $830 million to $1.5 billion, driven by higher results across all three reportable segments. Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) in the three months ended June 30, 2026 excluded gains on the sale of assets of $21 million and asset impairment, exit and restructuring costs, and net settlement contingencies of $3 million. Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) in the three months ended June 30, 2025 excluded asset impairment, exit and restructuring costs, and net settlement contingencies of $224 million, a gain on contract termination of $69 million, and gains on sales of assets of $8 million.
Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) is reconciled to earnings before income taxes, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below.
Processed volumes by certain products for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousand metric tons).

| Oilseeds | 9,477 | 9,051 | 426 | ||||||||||||||
| Corn | 4,736 | 4,614 | 122 | ||||||||||||||
The increase in processed oilseeds volumes in the current year quarter was primarily related to improved North America and South America crush volumes due to improved utilization, partially offset by planned downtime in EMEA. The processed corn volumes were consistent year over year.

Revenues and cost of products sold in agricultural merchandising and processing businesses are significantly correlated to the underlying commodity prices and volumes. In periods of significant changes in market prices, the underlying performance of the Company is better evaluated by looking at margins since both revenues and cost of products sold, particularly in the Ag Services and Oilseeds segment, generally have a relatively equal impact from market price changes which generally result in an insignificant impact to gross profit.
Revenues increased $1.5 billion to $22.7 billion, driven by Ag Services and Oilseeds segment revenues reflecting higher sales prices of oils, soybeans, and biodiesel ($2.0 billion), partially offset by lower sales volumes of corn and soybeans ($356 million). Carbohydrate Solutions segment revenues were consistent compared to the prior year quarter. Nutrition segment revenues decreased primarily due to lower sales volumes ($95 million) reflecting portfolio actions and the formation of the Akralos Holding Company LLC joint venture, partially offset by higher sales prices. The prior year quarter also benefitted from a contract cancellation ($55 million).
Cost of products sold increased $950 million to $20.7 billion, primarily driven by higher commodity and freight costs. Manufacturing expenses increased $109 million to $2.0 billion, driven by an increase in energy costs in North America, increased maintenance expenses, and higher employee compensation costs.
Gross profit increased $565 million, or 41%, to $1.9 billion, primarily driven by an increase of $495 million and $76 million in Ag Services and Oilseeds and Carbohydrate Solutions segments, respectively.
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $115 million to $1.0 billion, primarily driven by higher employee compensation costs, partially offset by lower third-party service costs.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs decreased $124 million to $13 million, driven by restructuring charges of $137 million in the prior year quarter, primarily within the Nutrition segment.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased $8 million to $142 million driven by higher earnings from the Company’s investments in SoyVen Holding B.V., Hungrana Kft, and Terminal de Grãos Ponta da Montanha S.A, partially offset by lower earnings from the Company’s investment in Wilmar International Limited (“Wilmar”).
Interest and investment income increased $186 million to $116 million, driven by $187 million of revaluation losses in the prior year quarter, within Corporate and the Nutrition segment.
Interest expense decreased $11 million to $148 million, due to a decrease in financing costs, driven by lower outstanding debt and interest rates.
Other income — net increased $30 million to $82 million, primarily driven by higher foreign exchange gains and gains on sale of assets.
Income tax expense increased $114 million to $176 million. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was 16.2% compared to 22.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year quarter is primarily driven by non-taxable benefits associated with Section 45Z, as well as the tax effects of certain impairment charges recognized during the corresponding quarter of 2025.

In the Ag Services and Oilseeds segment, segment operating profit increased by $488 million. Current quarter results included net positive mark-to-market and timing impacts of approximately $100 million, primarily attributable to the Crushing subsegment. The Ag Services subsegment operating profit was higher compared to the prior year quarter. Global Trade results improved due to increased ocean freight and trading margins. South America results improved in the current year quarter, due to the Barcarena, Brazil, grain export terminal returning to full operations, leading to increased soybean exports which were supported by higher farmer selling. Transportation results improved, driven by increased freight rates. The Crushing subsegment operating profit was higher compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting margin improvement across the business, particularly in North America, where results were supported by the favorable RVO announcement, higher soybean meal sales, and higher crush volumes. The current year quarter also benefitted from $20 million of insurance proceeds related to Decatur East. The Refined Products and Other (“RPO”) subsegment operating profit was lower when compared to the prior year quarter driven by net negative mark-to-market and timing impacts and lower margins in South America, partially offset by margin expansion in North America and EMEA driven by improved refining margins as a result of the RVO announcement and global energy volatility. Wilmar earnings decreased in the current year quarter.
In the Carbohydrate Solutions segment, segment operating profit increased 22% compared to the prior year quarter. The Starches and Sweeteners subsegment operating profit was higher compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher ethanol margins supported by policy incentives related to ADM’s corn wet-milling operations, which were partially offset by lower global liquid sweeteners volumes and margins and increased manufacturing costs. Global Wheat Milling results were relatively flat compared to the prior year quarter, as volumes remained relatively stable against a more competitive pricing backdrop. The Vantage Corn Processors subsegment operating profit increased $52 million compared to the prior year quarter, driven by stronger ethanol margins supported by policy incentives and effective risk management.
In the Nutrition segment, segment operating profit increased 51% due to improved performance in both the Human and Animal Nutrition subsegments. Human Nutrition subsegment operating profit was higher compared to the prior year quarter, as a result of higher Flavors sales and margins, foreign exchange gains, and the continued recovery of the Decatur East plant. Animal Nutrition subsegment operating profit was higher compared to the prior year quarter driven by portfolio actions and on-going cost optimization efforts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain “non-GAAP” financial measures as defined by the SEC. These are measures of performance not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, GAAP reported measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this section.
The Company uses adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and total segment operating profit, non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC, to evaluate the Company’s financial performance.
Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings adjusted for the effects on net earnings of specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables. Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as diluted EPS adjusted for the effects on reported diluted EPS of specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables.
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest on borrowings, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest on borrowings, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables.
Total segment operating profit is defined as ADM’s consolidated earnings before income taxes, adjusted for Other Business, Corporate, and specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables.
Management believes that adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and total segment operating profit are useful measures of the Company’s performance because they provide investors additional information about the Company’s operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. Adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and total segment operating profit are not intended to replace or be an alternative to net earnings, diluted EPS, earnings before income taxes and cash flows from operating activities, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.
The table below provides a reconciliation of net earnings (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) to adjusted net earnings (a non-GAAP measure) and diluted EPS (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) to adjusted diluted EPS (a non-GAAP measure) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Results of Operations
Earnings before income taxes increased $840 million, from $632 million to $1.5 billion. Results in the current year period were primarily driven by improved operational execution amid a dynamic pricing environment. The increase in earnings before income taxes reflected impairment, exit, and restructuring costs and revaluation losses of $362 million in the prior year period.
Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) increased $637 million, from $1.6 billion to $2.2 billion, driven by higher results across all three reportable segments. Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) in the six months ended June 30, 2026 excluded net gains on the sale and contribution of assets of $83 million, the Company's share of Wilmar International Limited (“Wilmar”) non-recurring charges of $55 million, and $20 million of asset impairment, exit and restructuring costs, and net settlement contingencies. Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) in the six months ended June 30, 2025 excluded impairment, exit, restructuring, and net settlement contingencies of $273 million, a gain on contract termination of $69 million, and gains of sales of assets of $8 million.
Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) is reconciled to earnings before income taxes, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below.
Processed volumes by product for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousand metric tons).

Revenues and cost of products sold in agricultural merchandising and processing businesses are significantly correlated to the underlying commodity prices and volumes. In periods of significant changes in market prices, the underlying performance of the Company is better evaluated by looking at margins since both revenues and cost of products sold, particularly in the Ag Services and Oilseeds segment, generally have a relatively equal impact from market price changes which generally result in an insignificant impact to gross profit.
Revenues increased $1.8 billion to $43.2 billion, driven by Ag Services and Oilseeds segment revenues reflecting higher sales prices of oils, soybeans, and biodiesel ($2.9 billion), partially offset by lower sales volumes of corn, biodiesel, and soybeans ($918 million). Carbohydrate Solutions revenues were consistent compared to the prior year period. Nutrition revenues decreased, driven by lower sales volumes ($192 million) reflecting portfolio actions and the formation of the Akralos Holding Company LLC joint venture, partially offset by higher sales prices ($144 million). The prior year period also benefitted from a contract cancellation ($55 million).
Cost of products sold increased $1.2 billion to $40.0 billion, primarily driven by higher average commodity costs and increased freight costs. Manufacturing expenses increased $150 million to $4.0 billion driven by higher energy costs in North America, higher employee compensation costs, and higher maintenance expenses.
Gross profit increased $607 million, or 24%, to $3.2 billion, driven by an increase of $376 million, $188 million, and $70 million for the Ag Services and Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions, and Nutrition segments, respectively.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $144 million to $2.0 billion, primarily driven by higher employee compensation costs, partially offset by lower third-party service costs.

ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs decreased $150 million to $25 million, driven by restructuring charges of $175 million in the prior year period, primarily within the Nutrition segment.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $47 million to $231 million driven by lower earnings from the Company’s investment in Wilmar International Limited (“Wilmar”), partially offset by higher earnings from the Company’s investments in SoyVen Holding B.V. and LSCP, LLC.
Interest and investment income increased $173 million to $241 million, driven by $187 million of revaluation losses in the prior year period within Corporate and the Nutrition segment.
Interest expense decreased $20 million to $297 million, due to a decrease in financing costs, driven by lower outstanding debt and interest rates.
Other income — net increased $81 million to $152 million, primarily driven by higher gains on sale of assets, higher foreign exchange gains, and lower provisions for contingent losses.
Income tax expense increased $134 million to $257 million. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 17.5% compared to 19.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year period is primarily driven by non-taxable benefits associated with Section 45Z, as well as the tax effects of certain impairment charges recognized during the corresponding period of 2025.

In the Ag Services and Oilseeds segment, segment operating profit increased $349 million. Current period results included net negative mark-to-market and timing impacts of approximately $200 million, attributable to the RPO and Crushing subsegments. The Ag Services subsegment operating profit increased compared to the prior year period. Global Trade results improved due to increased margins across destination marketing and trading businesses. North America results improved due to increased export activity with China and the impact of the reversal of certain export duties. South America results improved in the current year period, due to the Barcarena, Brazil, grain export terminal returning to full operations. Transportation results improved, driven by increased freight rates. The Crushing subsegment operating profit was higher compared to the prior period, reflecting margin improvement across the business, particularly in North America where results were supported by the favorable RVO announcement, improved soybean meal sales, the receipt of $20 million of insurance proceeds related to Decatur East, and increased crush volumes. The RPO subsegment operating profit decreased when compared to the prior year period, driven by net negative mark-to market and timing impacts, partially offset by higher margins in North America and EMEA as a result of the RVO announcement and global energy volatility. Wilmar earnings decreased in the current year period.
In the Carbohydrate Solutions segment, segment operating profit increased 33% compared to the prior year period. The Starches and Sweeteners subsegment operating profit was higher compared to the prior year period. In North America, results were driven by improved ethanol margins supported by policy incentives related to ADM’s corn wet-milling operations, which were partially offset by lower liquid sweeteners results and increased manufacturing costs. In EMEA, results were driven by lower volumes and margins due to the competitive pricing environment. Global Wheat Milling experienced lower margins in the current year. The Vantage Corn Processors subsegment operating profit increased $147 million compared to the prior year period, driven by improved margins supported by effective risk management and policy incentives, partially offset by increased manufacturing costs.
In the Nutrition segment, segment operating profit increased 46% due to improved performance in both the Human and Animal Nutrition subsegments. Human Nutrition subsegment operating profit was higher compared to the prior year period, as a result of higher Flavors sales and margins, including foreign exchange gains, and the continued recovery of the Decatur East plant. Animal Nutrition subsegment operating profit was higher compared to the prior year period driven by portfolio actions and increased focus on higher-margin product lines, on-going cost optimization efforts, and foreign exchange gains.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain “non-GAAP” financial measures as defined by the SEC. These are measures of performance not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, GAAP reported measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this section.
The Company uses adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and total segment operating profit, non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC, to evaluate the Company’s financial performance.
Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings adjusted for the effects on net earnings of specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables. Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as diluted EPS adjusted for the effects on reported diluted EPS of specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables.
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest on borrowings, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest on borrowings, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables.
Total segment operating profit is defined as ADM’s consolidated earnings before income taxes, adjusted for Other Business, Corporate, and specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables.
Management believes that adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and total segment operating profit are useful measures of the Company’s performance because they provide investors additional information about the Company’s operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. Adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and total segment operating profit are not intended to replace or be an alternative to net earnings, diluted EPS, and earnings before income taxes, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.
The table below provides a reconciliation of net earnings (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) to adjusted net earnings (a non-GAAP measure) and diluted EPS (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) to adjusted diluted EPS (a non-GAAP measure) for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s objective is to have sufficient liquidity, balance sheet strength, and financial flexibility to fund the operating and capital requirements of a capital-intensive agricultural commodity-based business. The Company depends on access to credit markets, which can be impacted by its credit rating and factors outside of the Company’s control, to fund its working capital needs and capital expenditures.
The primary source of funds to finance the Company’s operations, capital expenditures, and advancement of its growth strategy is cash generated by operations and lines of credit, including a commercial paper borrowing facility and accounts receivable securitization programs. In addition, the Company believes it has access to funds from public and private equity and debt capital markets in both U.S. and international markets.
At June 30, 2026, the Company’s capital resources included shareholders’ equity of $23.6 billion and lines of credit, including the accounts receivable securitization programs described below, totaling $12.6 billion, of which $10.0 billion was unused. Of the Company’s total lines of credit, $5.1 billion supported the combined U.S. and European commercial paper borrowing programs. At June 30, 2026, there was $30 million of commercial paper outstanding.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $1.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents, $374 million of which was cash held by foreign subsidiaries whose undistributed earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. Based on the Company’s historical ability to generate sufficient cash flows from its U.S. operations and unused and available U.S. credit capacity of $5.6 billion, the Company has asserted that these funds are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had total available liquidity of $11.1 billion comprised of cash and cash equivalents and unused lines of credit. The Company believes that cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and unused lines of credit will be sufficient to meet its ongoing liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.3 billion and $4.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by changes in net working capital, partially offset by higher earnings. Negative changes in net working capital were driven by inventories, segregated investments, trade receivables, other current assets and payables to brokerage customers, partially offset by positive changes in accrued expenses and other payables and trade payables.
Changes in Inventories resulted in a cash outflow of $298 million in the current year period compared to an inflow of $2.2 billion in the prior year period, primarily reflecting higher commodity prices and volumes.
Changes in Trade payables resulted in a cash outflow of $185 million in the current year period compared to an outflow of $1.2 billion in the prior year period, primarily reflecting market driven inventory levels and improved working capital management.
Changes in Trade receivables resulted in a cash outflow of $379 million in the current year period compared to an inflow of $197 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting higher sales driven by commodity prices.
Changes in Segregated investments resulted in a cash outflow of $177 million in the current year period compared to an inflow of $1.3 billion in the prior year period, primarily reflecting changes to the investment mix of customer funds due to changes in yields and collateral pledge requirements within the Company’s futures commission and brokerage business.
Changes in Payables to brokerage customers resulted in a cash inflow of $276 million in the current year period compared to an inflow of $708 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting changes in customer balances to support additional trading and margin required within the Company’s futures commission and brokerage business.
Changes in Other current assets resulted in a cash outflow of $549 million in the current year period compared to an outflow of $41 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting changing market conditions impacting valuation of derivative contracts and unmonetized Section 45Z credits.
Changes in Accrued expenses and other payables resulted in a cash inflow of $852 million in the current year period compared to an outflow of $397 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting changing market conditions impacting valuation of derivative contracts and and tax payables.
Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used in investing activities was $373 million and $391 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 included additions to property, plant, and equipment of $466 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of assets of $56 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included additions to property, plant, and equipment of $596 million and a business acquisition, net of cash acquired, of $95 million, partially offset by proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $267 million.
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash used in financing activities was $955 million and $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
