Business Wire
Reports fourth quarter 2025 EPS2 of $0.94 and adjusted EPS1,2 of $0.87, with full-year 2025 EPS2 of $2.23 and adjusted EPS1,2 of $3.43
Provides 2026 outlook underpinned by an expected increasingly constructive operating environment as global trade policies evolve and U.S. biofuel policy clarity progresses
Announces increase in quarterly dividend, marking 53 consecutive years of dividend growth
ADM (NYSE: ADM) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2025, and provided its current outlook for 2026.
Fourth-quarter 2025 Key Takeaways:
Net earnings of $456 million, with adjusted net earnings1 of $422 million
EPS2 of $0.94, with adjusted EPS1,2 of $0.87
Full-year 2025 Key Takeaways:
Net earnings of $1.1 billion, with adjusted net earnings1 of $1.7 billion
EPS2 of $2.23, with adjusted EPS1,2 of $3.43
Cash flows provided by operating activities of $5.5 billion, with cash flows from operations before working capital1,3 of $2.7 billion
2026 Outlook4:
ADM expects 2026 adjusted EPS1,2 of approximately $3.60 to $4.25, with the lower end reflecting continued U.S. biofuel policy deferral and flat crush margins, while the upper end assumes a continuation of crush margin expansion, progress with manufacturing efficiencies, and strengthening customer demand
The current outlook assumes year-over-year segment operating profit growth for AS&O, with improvement in global trade flows and a range of potential crush margins outcomes. The outlook also assumes segment operating profit for Carbohydrate Solutions remains relatively flat with lower starches and sweeteners volumes and pricing offset by higher ethanol margins, while Nutrition is expected to continue its trajectory of stronger organic growth and execution
The timing of policy clarity, and in particular U.S. biofuel policy, will largely dictate ADM’s ability to achieve the higher end of the range; the earlier there is policy clarity, the larger the opportunity to take advantage of what is expected to be an increasingly more constructive operating environment
Capital expenditures are projected to be in the range of $1.3 to $1.5 billion
“2025 was marked by a dynamic global trade landscape, and ongoing uncertainty around U.S. biofuel policy created a challenging operating environment for ADM. Despite these external headwinds, the business units showed impressive resilience and we delivered meaningful progress in the areas within our control. We advanced portfolio optimization initiatives, executed targeted cost-reduction actions, improved plant efficiency, generated strong cash flow, and achieved an important safety milestone by having the lowest injury rate on record,” said Chair of the Board and CEO Juan Luciano. “We remain on track to achieve $500 to $750 million of aggregate cost savings over the next three to five years, beginning in 2025, and we believe increased clarity on biofuel policy combined with the evolution of global trade should support a more constructive operating environment for us in 2026. Based on the strong cash flow generating power of our business, we are increasing our quarterly dividend by 2%, our 53rd year of consecutive dividend growth.”

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.

Agriculture Services and Oilseeds Summary (AS&O)
AS&O segment operating profit was $444 million during the fourth quarter of 2025, down 31% compared to the prior year quarter.
Ag Services subsegment operating profit was 31% lower versus the prior year quarter, driven primarily by lower soybean export activity from North America and mark-to-market impacts. There were approximately $1 million of net negative mark-to-market impacts during the quarter, compared to approximately $50 million of net positive impacts in the prior year quarter.
Crushing subsegment operating profit was 69% lower versus the prior year quarter. While global crush volumes increased over the prior year quarter, weaker crush margins in both North and South America pressured overall results. In addition, there were approximately $20 million of net negative mark-to-market impacts during the quarter, compared to approximately zero impact in the prior year quarter. Results in the prior year quarter also reflected $52 million of insurance proceeds related to the Decatur East and West claims, as compared to $32 million related to the Decatur East claim in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Refined Products and Other subsegment operating profit was 2% lower versus the prior year quarter, due to lower refining margins. Margins were pressured as a result of weaker food demand as well as weaker fuel demand due to deferred U.S. biofuel policy clarity. There were approximately $22 million of net positive mark-to-market impacts during the quarter, compared to approximately $50 million of net negative impacts in the prior year quarter.
Equity earnings from the company’s investment in Wilmar were approximately 49% higher versus the prior year quarter.
For the full year, AS&O segment operating profit was $1.6 billion, 34% lower compared to 2024.
Ag Services subsegment operating profit was 11% lower versus the prior year, driven primarily by lower North American soybean exports and challenged international trade flows. Farmer selling activity remained subdued due to muted pricing experienced throughout most of 2025, while customers reduced the amount of inventory held, both of which led to fewer trading opportunities.
Crushing subsegment operating profit was 81% lower versus the prior year, primarily due to lower crush margins. Also contributing to the year-over-year decrease were lower insurance proceeds received in 2025. For 2024, there were approximately $76 million of insurance proceeds received related to the Decatur East and West claims, as compared to $32 million related to the Decatur East claim in 2025.
Refined Products and Other subsegment operating profit was 4% lower versus the prior year, due to lower refining margins. Margins were pressured as a result of weaker food demand as well as weaker fuel demand due to deferred U.S. biofuel policy clarity.
Equity earnings from the company’s investment in Wilmar were approximately 14% lower versus the prior year.

Carbohydrate Solutions Summary
Carbohydrate Solutions segment operating profit was $299 million during the fourth quarter of 2025, down 6% compared to the prior year quarter.
Starches and Sweeteners (S&S) subsegment operating profit decreased by 16% versus the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower global S&S demand, which impacted both volumes and margins. S&S margins continued to be impacted by higher corn costs in EMEA related to industry-wide corn crop quality issues. Additionally, the prior year quarter reflected $37 million of insurance proceeds related to the Decatur East and West claims, as compared to $4 million proceeds related to the Decatur West claim in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Vantage Corn Processors (VCP) subsegment operating profit increased by 187% versus the prior year quarter. Ethanol industry margins remained firm during October and November before seeing a seasonal reduction in December. Robust export demand resulted in lower industry inventory year-over-year which provided a partial offset to domestic seasonality.
For the full year, Carbohydrate Solutions segment operating profit was $1.2 billion, down 12% compared to the prior year. In S&S, softer global demand combined with high corn costs in EMEA contributed to the pressure, which was partially offset by strength in ethanol margins. Of the year-over-year reduction in Carbohydrate Solutions segment operating profit, $75 million of the variance resulted from a decrease in Decatur-related insurance proceeds received. Results in the prior year reflected $84 million of insurance proceeds, as compared to $9 million received in 2025.

Nutrition Summary
Nutrition segment operating profit was $78 million during the fourth quarter of 2025, an 11% decrease compared to the prior year quarter. The prior year quarter received $46 million of insurance proceeds related to the Decatur East claim, as compared to zero proceeds received in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Human Nutrition subsegment operating profit was 10% lower versus the prior year quarter, with the decline largely attributable to the reduction in insurance proceeds. In Flavors, operating profit increased, driven largely by strong sales in North America, supported by Europe and Asia Pacific. Specialty Ingredients continued its recovery throughout the quarter, while Health & Wellness experienced lower period-over-period operating profit, primarily due to strategic actions taken to normalize inventory and optimize cash flow.
Animal Nutrition subsegment operating profit was 15% lower versus the prior year quarter, driven primarily by localized volume softness and the impact of one-time items.
For the full year, Nutrition segment operating profit was $417 million, an 8% increase compared to the prior year.
Human Nutrition subsegment operating profit was 2% lower than the prior year. Human Nutrition experienced significant operating profit growth year-over-year led by Flavors and the recovery in Specialty Ingredients; however the growth was more than offset by the reduction of insurance proceeds. The prior year received $71 million of insurance proceeds related to the Decatur East claim, as compared to zero proceeds received during 2025.
Animal Nutrition subsegment operating profit was 66% higher compared to the prior year, driven by improved margins as a result of focusing on higher-margin products combined with portfolio streamlining and cost optimization efforts.

Corporate and Other Business Summary
For the fourth quarter of 2025, Corporate and Other Business costs increased by approximately 25% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher charges related to revaluation losses, including impairment, contingency, and restructuring charges, which were partially offset by lower interest expense, higher other income, and lower unallocated corporate function costs.
For the full year, Corporate and Other Business costs increased by approximately 19% compared to 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher charges related to revaluation losses, including impairment, contingency, and restructuring charges, which were partially offset by lower interest expense, higher other income, and lower unallocated corporate function costs. Included in Other Business were distributed settlements to the business units from our captive insurer of $41 million for the Decatur East and West insurance claims, of which $34 million was funded by reinsurers during the fourth quarter of 2025.

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 (loss) after removal of the effect on net earnings (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) before interest on borrowings, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) 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 (loss). 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.

ADM Announces Closure of Government Investigations Related to ADM's Prior Reporting Regarding Intersegment SalesJanuary 27, 2026 11:25 PM
Business Wire
Enters Settlement with the SEC without Admitting or Denying Any Wrongdoing
DOJ Closes Investigation of ADM with No Further Action
ADM (NYSE: ADM) (ADM or the “Company”), a global leader in innovative solutions from nature, today announced that the Company has entered into a settlement agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to resolve its investigation into ADM’s prior reporting regarding intersegment sales without admitting or denying any wrongdoing. Pursuant to the settlement with the SEC, ADM has agreed to a payment of $40 million.
In addition, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has closed its investigation of ADM with no further action. These outcomes end the investigations of ADM by the SEC and DOJ.
As the SEC noted in its resolution, after learning of the matter, ADM acted to ensure that outside counsel conducted an internal investigation under the direction and oversight of the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, voluntarily reporting the Company’s findings to the SEC’s staff. In March 2024, ADM corrected certain prior period errors, and in November 2024, the Company restated its previously issued 2023 Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q for the first and second quarters of 2024, in each instance to address errors in its historical segment reporting.
The transactions addressed in the SEC resolution affected segment-level reporting and had no impact on the Company’s reported consolidated balance sheet, earnings or cash flows for the periods presented in the restated filings.
In addition, as previously reported, ADM has implemented significant changes to its financial leadership team and financial controls.
Juan Luciano, Chair of the Board, President and CEO, said, “We are pleased to put these matters behind the Company. These past couple of years have underscored what’s core to ADM – incorporating learnings to further strengthen our business. This is reflected in the extensive actions we have taken to enhance our internal controls and ensure accuracy of our financial reporting. Looking ahead, we remain committed to operating with transparency and integrity and upholding the trust of our stakeholders every day.”
