ADM Reports Third Quarter Earnings per Share of $1.52, $1.63 on an Adjusted Basis

By: via Business Wire
  • Net earnings of $0.8 billion, adjusted net earnings of $0.9 billion
  • Trailing four-quarter average adjusted ROIC of 13.2%

ADM (NYSE: ADM) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“ADM again delivered a strong quarter in increasingly dynamic market conditions as we continued to adjust our business model to meet the evolving needs of our customers. Through targeted investments in innovation and a focus on efficiencies that align to our customers’ goals, we are strengthening critical partnerships and expanding our new profit opportunities to deliver additional shareholder value,” said Chair of the Board and CEO Juan Luciano.

“Ag Services & Oilseeds delivered another solid quarter, leveraging the strength of our Brazilian export capabilities, extending regenerative agriculture partnerships, and commissioning our Spiritwood production facility to serve growing demand for renewable green diesel. Carbohydrate Solutions drove strong results through excellent execution in favorable ethanol, starches and sweeteners margin environments, while extending customer wins in BioSolutions and formally advancing the Broadwing Energy project for lower carbon intensity power generation in Decatur. Within Nutrition, the outstanding growth of Flavors continues to outpace the market, and Health & Wellness is developing the next generation of evidence-based solutions, while we address pockets of softness in other areas of the portfolio. With strong performance to date in 2023 and a constructive expectation for the remainder of the year, we are again raising our full-year earnings outlook.”

  • Q3 2023 EPS as reported of $1.52 includes a $0.10 per share net charge related to impairments and restructuring, net of a contingency loss reversal and a $0.01 per share charge related to acquisition expenses. Adjusted EPS, which excludes these items, was $1.63.1

Quarterly Results of Operations

Ag Services & Oilseeds results were lower than the third quarter of 2022.

  • Ag Services results were lower than the strong third quarter of 2022. South American origination results were higher year-over-year, as the team delivered significantly higher volumes and margins on strong export demand. Results for North American origination were lower year-over-year, driven by the shift of exports to South America. Effective risk management and higher volumes and margins in Global Trade led to strong results, however, lower year-over-year. The current quarter also included a $48 million insurance settlement related to damages from Hurricane Ida.
  • Crushing results were much lower than the prior-year’s record third quarter. Global soy crush margins remained robust, but lower than the very strong levels of a year ago. In EMEA, we continued to optimize our flex capacity to higher margin softseeds, in line with market opportunities. In the quarter, there were large net positive mark-to-market timing effects, which were lower than the net positive impacts in the prior year quarter.
  • Refined Products and Other results were higher than the prior-year period. EMEA results were higher year-over-year as strong export demand for biodiesel and domestic demand for food oil supported higher margins. In the quarter, there were large net positive mark-to-market timing effects which are expected to reverse as contracts execute in future periods.
  • Equity earnings from Wilmar were significantly lower versus the third quarter of 2022.

Carbohydrate Solutions delivered an outstanding third quarter, significantly higher than last year.

  • The Starches and Sweeteners subsegment results, including ethanol production from our wet mills, were higher year-over-year on a healthy demand environment during the quarter. North American starches and sweeteners delivered higher margins on similar volumes versus the prior year and capitalized on a strong ethanol backdrop. The global wheat milling business posted higher margins on similar volumes, supported by steady customer demand.
  • Vantage Corn Processors results were significantly higher year-over-year on robust demand and margins for ethanol.

Nutrition results were significantly lower year-over-year.

  • Human Nutrition results were much lower than the third quarter of 2022. Flavors results were substantially higher than the prior year, driven by pricing actions in EMEA and strong win rates in North America. Specialty Ingredients results were much lower year-over-year due to continued lower market demand for plant-based proteins in meat alternatives, inventory adjustments, and unplanned down time resulting from the recent Decatur incident. In Health & Wellness, a favorable impact related to the revised commercial agreement with Spiber, as well as stronger probiotics sales, led to higher results versus the prior year.
  • Animal Nutrition results were lower compared to the same quarter last year due to lower contributions from amino acids and persistent demand fulfillment challenges in Pet Solutions, partially offset by cost optimization actions and improving volumes.

Other Business results were significantly higher than the prior-year quarter due to improved ADM Investor Services earnings on higher net interest income. Captive insurance results were slightly lower on higher claim settlements partially offset by premiums from new programs.

Other Items of Note

As additional information to help clarify underlying business performance, the table on page 10 includes reported earnings and EPS as well as adjusted earnings and EPS.

Segment operating profit of $1.4 billion for the quarter includes net charges of $69 million ($0.10 per share) related to impairments and restructuring, net of a contingent loss reversal, and a loss of $2 million ($0.00 per share) related to the sale of certain assets.

In Corporate results, net interest expense for the quarter increased year-over-year primarily on higher short-term interest rates. Unallocated corporate costs increased versus the prior year on higher global technology spend to support our digital transformation efforts. Other Corporate was favorable versus the prior year primarily due to foreign currency hedges.

Segment operating profit is ADM’s consolidated income from operations before income tax excluding corporate items. Adjusted segment operating profit, a non-GAAP financial measure, is segment operating profit excluding specified items. 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. 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.

Adjusted net earnings reflects ADM’s reported net earnings after removal of the effect on net earnings of specified items as more fully described above. Adjusted EPS reflects ADM’s fully diluted EPS after removal of the effect on EPS as reported of specified items as more fully described above. Management believes that Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted EPS 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 alternatives to net earnings and EPS as reported, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, 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.

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 on borrowings, and 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 specified items. Management believes Adjusted ROIC is a useful financial measure because it provides investors information about ADM’s returns excluding the impacts of 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.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before taxes, interest on borrowings, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for specified items. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA by removing the impact of specified items and adding back the amounts of interest expense on borrowings and depreciation and amortization to earnings before income taxes. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the Company’s performance because it provides investors additional information about the Company’s operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace or be an alternative to earnings before income taxes, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
