Exhibit Description
99.1 Press Release dated August 4, 2015
ADM Reports Second Quarter Adjusted Earnings of $0.60 per Share
Net earnings of $386 million, or $0.62 per share
CHICAGO, August 4, 2015—Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
The company reported adjusted earnings per share1 of $0.60, down from $0.79 in the same period last year. Adjusted segment operating profit1 was $724 million, down 13 percent from $835 million in the year-ago period. Net earnings for the quarter were $386 million, or $0.62 per share, and segment operating profit1 was $808 million.
“Our second-quarter results demonstrate the strength and value of our geographic and business-portfolio diversity,” said ADM Chief Executive Officer Juan Luciano. “In Corn, domestic and export demand for ethanol was robust, but record industry production limited margins. This was partially offset by strong results from our corn sweeteners and starches business.
“In Oilseeds, good meal demand supported strong North American soybean crushing results. And South American origination and export volumes were up, leading to good throughput at our expanded origination and port network. These, combined with the flexibility of our global crush plants, helped the Oilseeds team deliver another strong performance.
“The WFSI team had an excellent quarter and continues to make great progress toward achieving their targeted cost and revenue synergies.
“Ag Services earnings were impacted by lower margins and volumes of North American exports, as they were less competitive globally, and by a sharp upward move in commodity prices at the end of the quarter. But, within our Ag Services segment, the milling business had record second-quarter results.
“We’ve continued to advance our strategic plan that’s improving our ROIC and growing our EVA. Among numerous other actions, we closed the sale of our global chocolate business to Cargill; we closed the Barcarena port transaction with Glencore in June; and we remain on track to close both our Eaststarch transaction and the sale of our global cocoa business later this year.”
Second Quarter 2015 Highlights1
| |
• | Adjusted EPS of $0.60 excludes approximately $0.11 of gains on asset sales and acquisition-related revaluations, $0.06 of LIFO charges, $0.04 of charges related to asset impairments and restructurings, and a $0.01 gain related to effective tax rate adjustment. |
| |
• | Agricultural Services decreased $57 million as lower global merchandising results and lower earnings from reduced North American export margins and volumes were partially offset by record second-quarter profits from milling operations. |
| |
• | Corn Processing decreased $80 million on lower bioproducts results. |
| |
• | Oilseeds Processing results were solid, as strong global soy crush and South American origination offset lower softseed and refining results. |
| |
• | Wild Flavors and Specialty Ingredients earned a strong $104 million in the second reporting period for this business unit. |
| |
• | Trailing four-quarter-average adjusted ROIC was 9 percent, up 120 basis points year over year and 240 basis points above annual WACC of 6.6 percent. |
| |
• | During the first half of 2015, the company returned $1.5 billion to shareholders through dividends and the repurchase of 24 million shares. |
1 Non-GAAP financial measures; see pages 4 and 9 for explanations and reconciliations, including after-tax amounts.
Agricultural Services Earnings Decline on Lower Merchandising Volumes and Margins
Agricultural Services operating profit was $127 million, down $57 million from the year-ago period.
Merchandising and handling earnings declined $74 million to $41 million. Strong South American exports that benefited the Oilseeds business segment reduced margins and volumes of North American exports reflected in Agricultural Services. In addition, Global Trade Desk profits were negatively impacted by the significant end-of-quarter increase in certain commodity prices as well as reduced volumes and margins.
Transportation results declined $8 million to $19 million, amid lower barge freight demand and increased costs related to high-water conditions in the U.S.
Milling and other results improved $25 million to $67 million, due mainly to higher product margins and strong merchandising results. ADM's global milling operations had record second-quarter results.
Corn Processing Earnings Decline with Strong Sweetener Results Offset by Lower Ethanol Results
Corn Processing operating profit decreased from $268 million to $188 million.
Sweeteners and starches results improved $22 million to $145 million with very good North American sweetener volumes and margins, good demand for coproducts, and solid results from the Almex and Eaststarch joint ventures.
Bioproducts results declined from $145 million to $43 million due to lower ethanol industry margins. Increased ethanol exports and record U.S. driving miles supported robust demand, but record industry production resulted in margins lower than the prior year, though higher than the first quarter.
Oilseeds Earnings Solid as Strong Soy Crush and South American Grain Origination Offset Lower Softseed and European Refining Results
Oilseeds operating profit of $301 million increased $4 million from the year-ago results.
Crushing and origination operating profit increased $35 million to $198 million. Strong soybean meal demand, combined with ample global bean supplies, supported strong global soy crush results. Large South American corn and soybean harvests helped drive volumes through the origination and recently expanded port operations there. Lower margins and volumes driven by concerns about seed supply significantly reduced softseed results.
Refining, packaging, biodiesel and other generated a profit of $61 million for the quarter, down $27 million from year-ago results that benefited from $16 million in retroactively applied biodiesel blender's credits. Strong North American refining margins were offset by lower results from South America and Europe.
Oilseeds results in Asia for the quarter increased $13 million from the year-ago period mainly due to improved results from Wilmar.
Wild Flavors and Specialty Ingredients Delivers Excellent Second Reporting Quarter
In the second quarter, Wild Flavors and Specialty Ingredients operating profit was $104 million. Wild Flavors had strong results in North America, and the specialty proteins business had one of its best quarters ever.
The business continues its strong progress toward achieving the cost and revenue synergies identified last year, with nearly 600 projects in the pipeline and more than 50 revenue synergy wins across the business units and geographies.
Note that when reviewing comparative performance, the second-quarter 2014 results of ADM and WFSI do not include revenues or costs of Wild Flavors and SCI, because they were acquired in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the new segment was created on January 1, 2015.
Other Items of Note
For the second quarter, the effective tax rate was 27 percent, versus 28 percent in the same period last year.
Segment Operating profit of $808 million as reported for the quarter includes a gain of $27 million in Agricultural Services related to purchasing the remaining equity interests in North Star Shipping and MinMetal; a $6 million gain in Corn Processing from the sale of the lactic acid business; a $68 million gain in Oilseeds Processing from the sale of port assets in Brazil to a new joint venture with Glencore; and impairment charges totaling $31 million, primarily related to certain international Oilseeds facilities.
As additional information to help clarify underlying business performance, the tables on page 9 include both adjusted EPS as well as adjusted EPS excluding significant timing effects.

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 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 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 Reported EPS 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 ongoing business performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace or be an alternative to Reported EPS, 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.
