Insights
Bunge's Q3 results reflect significant headwinds with
Notable positives include
The pending Viterra merger remains a key strategic focus that could help diversify geographic and crop exposure, though integration execution will be crucial.
The global margin environment is creating significant pressure across Bunge's portfolio. While South America and Europe soy crush performed well, weakness in North America, Asia and Europe softseeds offset these gains. The merchandising segment showed improvement driven by financial services and ocean freight, but core processing margins remain challenged.
Regional performance divergence suggests shifting trade flows and market dynamics are impacting traditional geographic advantages. The

- Overview
Greg Heckman, Bunge’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our team delivered a strong third quarter, staying nimble and leveraging our global platform to capture opportunities against shifting market dynamics around the world. We made progress on key priorities, including closing the sale of the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture and delivering value to our shareholders through share repurchases. At the same time, we continued to advance integration planning for our announced combination with Viterra, and have made progress toward the remaining regulatory approvals.
“The third quarter has again proven the value of our global footprint, operating model and approach, which underscores the benefit of further diversification across geographies and crops that our combination with Viterra will bring.”

- 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
Total Segment EBIT and Adjusted Total Segment EBIT
Bunge uses segment earnings before interest and tax (“Segment EBIT”) to evaluate the operating performance of its individual segments. Segment EBIT excludes EBIT attributable to noncontrolling interests. Bunge also uses Core Segment EBIT, Non-core Segment EBIT, Corporate and Other EBIT and Total Segment EBIT to evaluate the operating performance of Bunge’s Core reportable segments, Non-core reportable segments and Total reportable segments together with Corporate and Other. Core 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. Non-core Segment EBIT is the earnings before interest and taxes of Bunge’s Sugar & Bioenergy segment. Total Segment EBIT is the aggregate of the earnings before interest and taxes of Bunge’s Core and Non-core reportable segments, together with its Corporate and Other activities.
Adjusted Core Segment EBIT, Adjusted Non-Core Segment EBIT, Adjusted Corporate and Other EBIT and Adjusted Total Segment 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 Core Segment EBIT, Non-Core Segment EBIT, Corporate and Other EBIT, and Total Segment EBIT, respectively.
Core Segment EBIT, Non-core Segment EBIT, Corporate and Other EBIT, Total Segment EBIT, Adjusted Core Segment EBIT, Adjusted Non-core Segment EBIT, Adjusted Corporate and Other EBIT and Adjusted Total Segment EBIT are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable
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
We also have presented projected Adjusted Net income per share for 2024. This information is provided only on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliation to projected Net Income per share for 2024, the mostly directly comparable
Below is a reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, to Total Segment EBIT, and Adjusted Total Segment EBIT:

(a) As of July 1, 2024, Bunge changed its methodology for calculating non-GAAP interim period Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (“Adjusted ETR”). This change has no impact on Bunge’s methodology for calculating the non-GAAP forecasted and actual annual Adjusted ETR. Management believes the new methodology is better aligned to the interim period US GAAP ETR calculation, and represents an improvement over the prior method, which calculated tax on items excluded from Adjusted Net Income (loss) attributable to Bunge on a discrete basis in each interim period. The cumulative YTD impact of the methodology change through June 30, 2024 was |
|
(b) There were less than 1 million anti-dilutive contingently issuable restricted stock units excluded from the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. |
Adjusted Annual Effective Tax Rate
Adjusted Annual Effective Tax Rate is calculated as projected Income tax expense for 2024 adjusted for projected income tax related to certain gains and charges and mark-to-market timing differences divided by projected income before income taxes adjusted by these same excluded items. This information is provided only on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliation to the projected Annual Effective Tax Rate, the most directly comparable
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

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. 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. |
