ADM Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

By: via Business Wire

ADM (NYSE: ADM) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Highlights:

  • Second quarter net earnings of $219 million, adjusted net earnings1 of $452 million
  • Second quarter EPS2 of $0.45, with adjusted EPS1,2 of $0.93, both down versus the prior year quarter
  • Year-to-date cash flows provided by operating activities were $4.0 billion, with cash flows from operations before working capital1,3 of $1.2 billion
  • Remediated the previously identified material weakness in internal controls with respect to segment disclosures related to reporting, pricing and measurement

Outlook4:

  • Tightens previously provided adjusted EPS1,2 guidance for full-year 2025 to approximately $4.00/share
  • Outlook based on first half performance and the expectation that recently improved margins will mostly benefit the fourth quarter of 2025 and beyond

“In the second quarter, ADM continued to make progress on operational improvements, driving cost savings through targeted realignments and advancing our pipeline of portfolio simplification opportunities, all while continuing our disciplined approach to capital allocation,” said Chair of the Board and CEO Juan Luciano.

“In AS&O, we maintained focus on actions to improve our operational resilience, announcing additional targeted network consolidations, as we worked to bridge a challenging environment that is expected to ease beginning in the fourth quarter given the clarity around Renewable Volume Obligations. In Carb Solutions, we achieved steady operational results, managing pockets of demand softness. In Nutrition, we delivered sequential improvement in operating profit and our restored Decatur East Plant operations are expected to support improved performance in the second half of the year.

Looking ahead, disciplined execution by our team will be central to navigating the ongoing uncertainty in the global markets. With biofuel policy clarity emerging toward the end of the second quarter, we have less of our order book open in the third quarter to benefit from improved margins. However, we are well-positioned to exit 2025 with strong momentum and we remain confident in our ability to execute on opportunities that may emerge with greater policy clarity.”

4 Forecasted GAAP Earnings Reconciliation: ADM is not presenting forecasted GAAP earnings per diluted share or a quantitative reconciliation to forecasted adjusted earnings per share in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exemption provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. ADM is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the impact of any impairment and timing of restructuring-related and other charges, along with acquisition-related expenses and the outcome of certain regulatory, legal and tax matters, as well as other potential reconciling items. The financial impact of these items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to our Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Ag Services and Oilseeds Summary

AS&O segment operating profit was $379 million during the second quarter of 2025, down 17% compared to the prior year quarter.

Ag Services subsegment operating profit was 7% lower versus the prior year quarter, driven by a decrease in volumes and margins due to trade policy uncertainty, a lower commodity price environment, and slower farmer selling. Margins were also impacted by negative mark-to-market timing impacts during the quarter, primarily in Global Trade. There were approximately $10 million of net negative mark-to-market timing impacts during the quarter, compared to approximately $17 million of net positive impacts in the prior year quarter.

Crushing subsegment operating profit was 75% lower versus the prior year quarter, driven by lower margins, primarily due to lower vegetable oil demand due to biofuel and trade policy uncertainty. There were approximately $21 million of net positive mark-to-market timing impacts during the quarter, compared to approximately $16 million of net negative impacts in the prior year quarter.

The Refined Products and Other (RPO) subsegment operating profit was 14% higher versus the prior year quarter. Biofuel and trade policy uncertainty continued to negatively impact biodiesel margins. Softer crop-based vegetable oil demand and increased crush capacity also negatively impacted refining margins compared to the prior year quarter. There were approximately $28 million of net positive mark-to-market timing impacts during the quarter, compared to approximately $91 million of net negative impacts in the prior year quarter.

Equity earnings from the Company’s investment in Wilmar were approximately 13% higher versus the prior year quarter.

Carbohydrate Solutions Summary

Carbohydrate Solutions segment operating profit was $337 million during the second quarter of 2025, down 6% compared to the prior year quarter.

The Starches & Sweeteners (S&S) subsegment operating profit decreased 6%, versus the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower international S&S volumes and margins, which have been partially impacted by higher corn costs in EMEA related to corn quality issues. Global wheat milling margins and volumes improved relative to the prior year quarter due to strong volume growth with key customers. North America corn wet milling operating profit improved slightly in the quarter, as higher liquid sweetener margins offset the negative impact of weaker starch volumes.

In the Vantage Corn Processors (VCP) subsegment, operating profit was relatively flat compared to the prior year quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These are measures of performance not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), 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 press release.

Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted earnings per share (EPS). Adjusted net earnings reflects ADM’s reported net earnings after removal of the effect on net earnings of specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables below. Adjusted EPS reflects ADM’s diluted EPS after removal of the effect on EPS as reported of specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables below. 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.

Total segment operating profit. Total segment operating profit is ADM’s consolidated earnings before income taxes adjusted for Other Business, Corporate, and specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables below. Management believes that total segment operating profit is a useful measure of ADM’s performance because it provides investors information about ADM’s reportable segment performance excluding Other Business, Corporate overhead costs as well as specified items. Total segment operating profit is not a measure of consolidated operating results under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to earnings before income taxes, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or any other measure of consolidated operating results under GAAP.

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). 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 redeemable and non-redeemable non-controlling interests) and interest-bearing liabilities (which totals invested capital), adjusted for 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.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest on borrowings, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest on borrowings, taxes, 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 income tax expense, interest expense on borrowings, and depreciation and amortization to net earnings. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace or be an alternative to net earnings, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Cash flows from operations before working capital is defined as cash flows from operating activities adjusted for changes in operating assets and liabilities as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. Management believes that cash flows from operations before working capital is a useful measure of the Company’s cash generation. Cash flows from operations before working capital is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace or be an alternative to cash from operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
