- Net earnings of $192 million
- Adjusted segment operating profit down 17 percent on difficult operating environment
Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) today reported financial
results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.
“Our third quarter results were below our expectations, as the operating
environment in our Ag Services and Oilseeds businesses was more
challenging than anticipated,” said ADM Chairman and CEO Juan Luciano.
“Through the quarter, we took several actions to be even more
competitive in the future, including: restructuring our global
workforce; reconfiguring the Peoria ethanol complex; working to complete
several operational start-ups; driving additional asset monetizations;
and further reducing costs through our Project Readiness initiative.
“As we move through the fourth quarter, we are starting to transition
from a period of costs and investments in acquisitions, new innovation
centers and new facilities, to a period of lower capital spending and
increasing benefits from these investments.”

Results of Operations
Ag Services results were down compared with a strong prior-year period.
In Merchandising and Handling, results decreased in both North America
Grain and Global Trade, largely due to the lack of competitiveness of
U.S. corn and soybeans in global markets.
Transportation results decreased from the prior-year period, due to low
U.S. exports of grain and a slower start to the North American harvest.
Milling and Other earnings were down due to decreased volumes, mainly in
the U.S, while product margins remained steady.
Corn Processing was up year-over-year, delivering another strong
quarter. North America Sweeteners and Starches experienced good margins.
Bioproducts results increased, with better ethanol margins over the
prior-year period.
Oilseeds Processing results were down compared to the third quarter of
last year. Crushing and Origination results were impacted by compressed
global crush margins and weak South America origination margins.
Refining, Packaging, Biodiesel and Other experienced lower earnings
versus the third quarter of 2016, due primarily to weaker biodiesel
results caused by lower margins and negative mark-to-market impacts.
Asia was up over the prior-year period on Wilmar results that were lower
than anticipated, but still higher than last year’s.
WFSI results were down versus the prior-year quarter. WILD Flavors
delivered double-digit operating profit growth with strong sales in Asia
and EMEA. Specialty Ingredients was down for the quarter, due in part to
higher costs caused by operational start-ups in certain businesses.
Other Items of Note
As additional information to help clarify underlying business
performance, the tables on page 9 include reported EPS as well as
adjusted EPS, and adjusted EPS excluding timing effects.
Segment operating profit of $485 million for the quarter includes
charges of $63 million ($0.07 per share) related to asset impairment and
restructuring charges, primarily related to the Peoria ethanol complex
reconfiguration, and a net gain of $12 million ($0.02 per share) on the
sale of assets and businesses.
In Corporate results, Minority Interest and Other charges include
restructuring charges of $44 million ($0.05 per share) related to the
reduction of certain positions within the company’s global workforce and
a debt extinguishment charge of $11 million ($0.01 per share).
The 13 percent effective tax rate reflects a decrease from our
forecasted annual tax rate range of 27 to 29 percent, due primarily to
the effect of certain favorable discrete items, including return to
provision and a favorable outcome of a prior-year tax position related
to an acquisition, partially offset by changes in the forecasted
geographic mix of pre-tax earnings. These discrete items are included in
both reported and adjusted earnings per share.

Segment operating profit is ADM’s consolidated income from operations
before income tax excluding corporate items. Adjusted segment operating
profit, a non-GAAP measure, is segment operating profit excluding
specified items and timing effects. Timing effects relate to hedge
ineffectiveness and 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 not measures of consolidated operating results under U.S.
GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to income before income
taxes, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or any other
measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP.

(a) Current period gains include gains related to the sale of the crop
risk services business in Other and other individually insignificant
disposals in Ag Services, Other, and Corporate partially offset by an
adjustment of the proceeds of the 2015 sale of the cocoa business in
Oilseeds. Prior period (gains) losses include gains related to realized
contingent consideration from the sale of the Company’s equity
investment in Gruma S.A.B de C.V. partially offset by loss on sale of
assets in Ag Services, finalization of the gain on sale of the Company’s
Brazilian sugar ethanol facilities in Corn, revaluation of the remaining

$109 million pretax ($92 million after tax), primarily related to
recovery of loss provisions and gain related to the sale of the
Company’s Brazilian sugar ethanol facilities, realized contingent

U.S. income tax rate.
|
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 period 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.
