Bunge Outlines Strategic Growth and Value Creation Plan at 2026 Investor Day
Greg Heckman, Bunge's Chief Executive Officer said, "This is an exciting moment in Bunge's history, powered by the momentum we have built over the last several years and the improved strength of our platform since closing the acquisition of Viterra. I am incredibly proud of our 34,000 team members worldwide, who are leveraging our global scale and infrastructure to execute our strategy with Bunge's signature discipline and agility. We are also advancing a compelling pipeline of key projects to provide solutions that meet our customers' needs, while fulfilling our purpose of connecting farmers with consumers to deliver essential food, feed and fuel to the world."
"Looking ahead, we are confident in our path to become the premier agribusiness solutions company built for the 21st century, supported by a continued focus on delivering sustainable value for all of our shareholders and stakeholders."
Capital Allocation Framework and Share Repurchase Plan
As part of Bunge's disciplined and balanced approach to capital allocation and commitment to shareholder returns, Bunge has announced a target to returning a minimum of 50% of its discretionary cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases across the cycle. In connection with this target, Bunge's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $3 billion of Bunge's common shares (the "Repurchase Plan").
The repurchases could include purchases pursuant to a written trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which allows companies to repurchase shares of stock at times when they might otherwise be prevented from doing so by securities laws or under self-imposed trading blackout periods. The timing and number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, share price and market conditions, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

Please refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Bunge's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026, as well as other risks and uncertainties set forth from time to time in reports subsequently filed with the SEC.
Forward-Looking Guidance
With respect to our forward-looking guidance no reconciliation between a non-GAAP measure to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is included because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts, and we believe such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. In particular, a reconciliation of EPS baseline to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the amounts required to reconcile such measure. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company's future financial results.
