- Net earnings of $424 million
- Adjusted segment operating profit up over 30 percent compared to prior fourth quarter
- Expected improvements across all businesses, project launches lead to confidence for stronger 2017
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) today reported financial
results for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
“We capitalized on an improved environment, delivering stronger fourth
quarter performance after working through difficult market conditions
earlier in the year,” said ADM Chairman and CEO Juan Luciano. “Ag
Services saw strong results in North America and weak results from the
global trade desk. The Corn business delivered a good quarter, led by
sweeteners and starches, and saw solid results from bioproducts.
Oilseeds results were comparable to last year despite lower global crush
margins. In WFSI, WILD Flavors continued to deliver earnings growth,
while some of our specialty ingredients businesses faced challenges,
which we are addressing.
“We have continued to take important steps to advance our strategic plan
by completing additional acquisitions, organic growth projects and
portfolio management actions; exceeding our 2016 target for run-rate
cost savings; and progressing in our efforts to reduce capital
intensity. In line with our balanced capital allocation framework, we
returned $1.7 billion to shareholders in dividends and share buybacks
during the year.
“With expected improvements across all of our businesses throughout the
year and additional contributions from recent projects and new
facilities as they ramp up, we are optimistic about improving results
throughout 2017.”

Fourth Quarter 2016 Highlights (continued)
-
EPS as reported of $0.73 includes a $0.03 per share charge related to
asset impairments, restructuring and settlements; a $0.04 per share
OPEB curtailment gain; and certain discrete tax expense items of $0.03
per share. Adjusted EPS, which excludes these items, is $0.751.
-
Trailing four-quarter-average adjusted ROIC was 5.9 percent1,
70 basis points below annual WACC of 6.6 percent.
-
The effective tax rate was 32 percent for the quarter and 29 percent
for fiscal year 2016, compared to negative 2 percent in the year-ago
quarter and 19 percent for fiscal year 2015, due to changes in the
geographic mix of earnings and discrete tax items. (See Other Items of
Note on page 3 for further details.)
-
During 2016, the company returned $1.7 billion to shareholders through
dividends and share repurchases.

Results of Operations
Ag Services saw good execution in North America amid strong global
demand for U.S. commodities. Merchandising and handling results
increased on strong export volumes in an improved margin environment.
However, the global trade desk incurred losses, driven by poor execution
and limited forward merchandising opportunities.
Transportation performed well, with modest improvements in results
despite an environment of lower freight rates.
Milling and Other had another strong quarter driven by solid product
margins—including wheat merchandising and handling income—and sales
volumes.
Corn Processing posted significantly improved results. Good performance
in sweeteners and starches was driven by solid demand in North America
and improved contributions from international operations. Higher results
in bioproducts were driven by improved ethanol margins and volumes as a
result of robust domestic and export demand. Animal nutrition posted
improved results, in part due to operational improvements in the
company’s lysine production processes.
Oilseeds Processing results were comparable to the challenging year-ago
period. In crushing and origination, South America results were impacted
by reduced volumes as a result of the short 2016 soybean and corn crops
in Brazil. Global soybean crush margins were negatively impacted by
ample substitute proteins worldwide, despite strong global crush
volumes. Softseeds performance improved due to higher volumes and
margins, driven by more favorable seed supply and better demand for oil.
Refining, packaging, biodiesel and other posted continued strong
performance, bolstered by good demand for refined oils and biodiesel.
Results in Asia improved over the prior-year quarter, reflecting
increased ownership and improved results from Wilmar.
In WFSI, the WILD Flavors business delivered solid year-over-year
growth, with results from the Eatem foods acquisition in North America
and good sales in EMEAI and Asia Pacific more than offsetting weaker
sales in Latin America. However, overall results declined in the quarter
due to continued challenges in certain specialty ingredients businesses.
The company began implementing the restructuring of the specialty
commodities unit, and saw ongoing market softness in hydrocolloids and
fibers, as well as the effects of a short crop in edible beans.
Other Financial operating profit improved on better claims and
underwriting results in insurance operations, and a strong performance
from ADM Investor Services.
Other Items of Note
As additional information to help clarify underlying business
performance, the tables on page 9 include both reported EPS as well as
adjusted EPS excluding significant timing effects.
Segment operating profit of $806 million as reported for the quarter
includes charges of $16 million related to asset impairment and
restructuring activities. Prior-year segment operating profit included
impairment and restructuring charges of $146 million, in addition to a
net gain of $212 million on the sale of the global cocoa and chocolate
businesses and a $185 million gain on the revaluation of the company’s
previously held investment in Eaststarch C.V. in conjunction with the
acquisition of the remaining interest.
Corporate other results include a $38 million OPEB curtailment gain
related to changes to the U.S. retiree medical program and restructuring
charges of $3 million. Corporate unallocated costs were up due to higher
project spending in 2016 compared to 2015. Prior-year Corporate
unallocated included impairment, restructuring and settlement charges of
$25 million.
Higher effective tax rates in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the
fourth quarter of 2015 were due to changes in the geographic mix of
earnings, as well as approximately $18 million of discrete tax expenses
in 2016, compared to approximately $100 million of discrete tax benefits
in 2015, which were a result of portfolio management actions taken in
the year-ago quarter.

Segment operating profit is ADM’s consolidated income from operations
before income tax excluding corporate items. Adjusted segment operating
profit is segment operating profit adjusted, where applicable, for
specified items and timing effects (see items denoted*). Timing effects
relate to hedge ineffectiveness and significant mark-to-market hedge
timing effects. Management believes that segment operating profit and
adjusted segment operating profit are useful measures of ADM’s
performance because they provide investors information about ADM’s
business unit performance excluding corporate overhead costs as well as
specified items and significant timing effects. Segment operating profit
and adjusted segment operating profit are non-GAAP financial measures
and are not intended to replace earnings before income tax, the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Segment operating profit and
adjusted segment operating profit are not measures of consolidated
operating results under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered
alternatives to income before income taxes or any other measure of
consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted EPS and adjusted EPS excluding timing effects reflect ADM’s
fully diluted EPS after removal of the effect on EPS as reported of
certain specified items and timing effects as more fully described
above. Management believes that these are useful measures of ADM’s
performance because they provide investors additional information about
ADM’s operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business
performance and better period-to-period comparability. These non-GAAP
financial measures are not intended to replace or be an alternative to
EPS as reported, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or
any other measures of operating results under GAAP. Earnings amounts
described above have been divided by the company’s diluted shares
outstanding for each respective quarter in order to arrive at an
adjusted EPS amount for each specified item and timing effect.

Adjusted ROIC is Adjusted ROIC earnings divided by adjusted invested
capital. Adjusted ROIC earnings is ADM’s net earnings adjusted
for the after tax effects of interest expense, changes in the LIFO
reserve and other specified items. Adjusted invested capital is
the sum of ADM’s equity (excluding noncontrolling interests) and
interest-bearing liabilities adjusted for the after tax effect of the
LIFO reserve, and other specified items. Management believes
Adjusted ROIC is a useful financial measure because it provides
investors information about ADM’s returns excluding the impacts of LIFO
inventory reserves and other specified items and increases
period-to-period comparability of underlying business performance. Management
uses Adjusted ROIC to measure ADM’s performance by comparing Adjusted
ROIC to its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Adjusted
ROIC, Adjusted ROIC earnings and Adjusted invested capital are non-GAAP
financial measures and are not intended to replace or be alternatives to
GAAP financial measures.
