    Bunge Global SA (NYSE:BG) today reported first quarter 2025 results

    • Q1 GAAP diluted EPS of $1.48 vs. $1.68 in the prior year; $1.81 vs. $3.04 on an adjusted basis excluding certain gains/charges and mark-to-market timing differences
    • Solid performance in Agribusiness driven by Processing, though down from last year
    • Refined and Specialty Oils results reflected a more balanced supply and demand environment, particularly in the U.S.
    • In final stage of regulatory process for Viterra transaction
    • Further strengthened business alignment with our global value chains through agreements to divest regional corn milling and margarine businesses
    • Maintaining adjusted full-year EPS outlook of approximately $7.75

    • Overview

    Greg Heckman, Bunge's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our team delivered a better than expected start to 2025, staying nimble in a quickly evolving market environment while continuing to serve our customers at both ends of the value chain. We announced agreements to sell our European margarine and U.S. corn milling businesses as we further align our assets with our global integrated value chains. We are in the final stage of regulatory approval for our combination with Viterra and are prepared to close quickly once received.

    "We benefited in the first quarter from tariff-related timing shifts in demand and farmer activity and remain confident in our ability to continue to execute despite the current market environment. Our resilient global footprint, disciplined approach, and focus on connecting farmers to consumers to deliver essential food, feed, and fuel position us well to create value for all stakeholders."

    Cash used for operations in the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $285 million compared to cash provided of $994 million in the same period last year. The reduction of cash from operations was primarily driven by net changes in working capital. Adjusted funds from operations (FFO) was $392 million compared to $514 million in the prior year.(4)

    Income Taxes

    For the three months ended March 31, 2025, income tax expense was $80 million compared to $117 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower pre-tax income in 2025 and unfavorable adjustments related to foreign currency fluctuations in South America in 2024.

    • Outlook(5)

    Taking into account first quarter results, the current margin and macro environment and forward curves, we continue to forecast full-year 2025 adjusted EPS of approximately $7.75. This forecast excludes the impact of announced acquisitions and divestitures that are expected to close during the year.

    In Agribusiness, full-year results are forecasted to be slightly lower than our previous outlook and down from last year primarily due to lower results in Processing.

    In Refined and Specialty Oils, full-year results are expected to be similar to our previous outlook and down from the prior year primarily driven by a more balanced supply and demand environment in North America.

    In Milling, full-year results are expected to be similar to our previous outlook and up from last year.

    In Corporate and Other, full-year results are expected to be more favorable than our previous outlook and the prior year.

    Additionally, the Company expects the following for 2025: an adjusted annual effective tax rate in the range of 21% to 25%; net interest expense in the range of $220 to $250 million, which is down from our previous expected range of $250 to $280 million; capital expenditures in the range of $1.5 to $1.7 billion; and depreciation and amortization of approximately $490 million.

    • Definition and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

    This earnings release contains certain "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Bunge has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures below. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

    Total EBIT and Adjusted Total EBIT

    Bunge uses earnings before interest and tax ("EBIT") to evaluate the operating performance of its individual reportable segments as well as Corporate and Other results. Total EBIT excludes EBIT attributable to noncontrolling interests. Bunge also uses Segment EBIT, Corporate and Other EBIT and Total EBIT to evaluate the operating performance of Bunge's reportable segments and Total reportable segments together with Corporate and Other activities. Segment EBIT is the aggregate of the earnings before interest and taxes of each of Bunge's Agribusiness, Refined and Specialty Oils, and Milling segments. Total EBIT is the aggregate of the earnings before interest and taxes of Bunge's reportable segments, together with its Corporate and Other activities.

    Adjusted Segment EBIT, Adjusted Corporate and Other EBIT and Adjusted Total EBIT, are calculated by excluding temporary mark-to-market timing differences, as defined in note 3 below, and certain gains and (charges), as described in "Additional Financial Information" above, from Segment EBIT, Corporate and Other EBIT, and Total EBIT, respectively.

    Segment EBIT, Corporate and Other EBIT, Total EBIT, Adjusted Segment EBIT, Adjusted Corporate and Other EBIT, and Adjusted Total EBIT are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Bunge's management believes these non-GAAP measures are a useful measure of its operating profitability, since the measures allow for an evaluation of performance without regard to financing methods or capital structure. For this reason, operating performance measures such as these non-GAAP measures are widely used by analysts and investors in Bunge's industries. These non-GAAP measures are not a measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss) or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP.

    Net Income (loss) attributable to Bunge to Adjusted Net Income (loss) attributable to Bunge

    Adjusted Net Income (loss) excludes temporary mark-to-market timing differences, as defined in note 3 below, and certain gains and (charges), as described in "Additional Financial Information" above, and is a non-GAAP financial measure. This measure is not a measure of Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. It should not be considered as an alternative to Net Income (loss) attributable to Bunge, Net Income (loss), or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP. Bunge's management believes Adjusted Net income (loss) is a useful measure of the Company's profitability.

    We also have presented projected Adjusted Net income per share for 2025. This information is provided only on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliation to projected Net Income per share for 2025, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The most directly comparable GAAP measure has not been provided due to the inability to quantify certain amounts necessary for such reconciliation, including but not limited to potentially significant future market price movements over the remainder of the year.

    Below is a reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, to Total EBIT, and Adjusted Total EBIT:

    Adjusted Funds From Operations

    Adjusted FFO is calculated by excluding from Cash provided by (used for) operating activities, foreign exchange gain (loss) on net debt, working capital changes, net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests, and mark-to-market timing differences after tax. Adjusted FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace Cash provided by (used for) operating activities, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Bunge's management believes the presentation of this measure allows investors to view its cash generating performance using the same measure that management uses in evaluating financial and business performance and trends without regard to foreign exchange gains and losses, working capital changes and mark-to-market timing differences. This non-GAAP measure is not a measure of consolidated cash flow under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Cash provided by (used for) operating activities, Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, or any other measure of consolidated cash flow under U.S. GAAP.

    The Processing business included in our Agribusiness segment consists of: global oilseed processing activities, which principally include the origination and crushing of oilseeds (including soybeans, canola, rapeseed and sunflower seed) into protein meals and vegetable oils; the distribution of oilseeds, oilseed products and fertilizer products through our port terminals and transportation assets (including trucks, railcars, barges and ocean vessels); fertilizer production; and biodiesel production, which is partially conducted through joint ventures.

     

    The Merchandising business included in our Agribusiness segment primarily consists of: global grain origination activities, which principally include the purchasing, cleaning, drying, storing and handling of corn, wheat and barley at our network of grain elevators; global trading and distribution of grains and oils; logistical services for the distribution of these commodities to our customer markets through our port terminals and transportation assets (including trucks, railcars, barges and ocean vessels); and financial services and activities for customers from whom we purchase commodities, and other third parties.

    Mark-to-market timing difference comprises the estimated net temporary impact resulting from unrealized period-end gains/losses associated with the fair valuation of certain forward contracts, RMI, and related futures contracts associated with our committed future operating capacity and sales. The impact of these mark-to-market timing differences, which is expected to reverse over time due to the forward contracts, RMI, and related futures contracts being part of an economically-hedged position, is not representative of the operating performance of our business.

    We have not presented a comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for any full-year 2025 outlook financial measures presented on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis because the information necessary for such presentation is unavailable at this time. The information necessary to prepare the comparable U.S. GAAP presentation could result in significant differences from the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release.

    Effective January 1, 2025, Bunge's Sugar & Bioenergy segment reporting activity has been reclassified to Corporate and Other. Historically, the Sugar and Bioenergy segment was primarily comprised of our previously owned 50% interest in the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture, divested in the fourth quarter of 2024. Following the divestment, Bunge will no longer separately present a Sugar & Bioenergy segment as remaining activity is insignificant, nor separately present segment results between Core segment and Non-core segment. Corresponding prior period amounts have been restated to conform to current period presentation. This change has no impact on previously-reported condensed consolidated earnings data, condensed consolidated balance sheets, or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
