Investments in affiliates, including VIEs through which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control the investee and is not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities, are carried at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings since acquisition and are adjusted, where appropriate, for basis differences between the investment balance and the underlying net assets of the investee.  The Company’s portion of the results of certain affiliates and results of certain VIEs are included using the most recent available financial statements.  In each case, the financial statements are within 93 days of the Company’s year end and are consistent from period to period.

Segregated Cash and Investments

The Company segregates certain cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances in accordance with regulatory requirements, commodity exchange requirements, and insurance arrangements. These balances represent deposits received from customers of the Company’s registered futures commission merchant and commodity brokerage services, cash margins and securities pledged to commodity exchange clearinghouses, and cash pledged as security under certain insurance arrangements. Segregated cash and investments also include restricted cash collateral for the various insurance programs of the Company’s captive insurance business. To the degree these segregated balances are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, they are considered restricted cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Receivables

The Company records receivables at net realizable value in trade receivables, other current assets, and other assets.  These amounts included allowances for estimated uncollectible accounts totaling $137$144 million and $122 million at March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances including any accrued interest receivables thereon. Long-term receivables recorded in other assets were not material to the Company’s overall receivables portfolio.

The Company recorded bad debt expense in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $22 million and $4$44 million in the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, respectively, and $4 million and $8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Cost Method Investments

Cost method investments of $434$466 million and $297 million as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, were included in Other Assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Revaluation gains of $34$3 million and $37 million in the quarterthree and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, respectively, and $40 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, in connection with observable third-party transactions, were recorded in investment income in the Company's consolidated statementstatements of earnings. There were no revaluation gains in the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Note 1.    Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Operations in Ukraine and Russia

ADM employs approximately 650 people in Ukraine and operates an oilseeds crushing plant, a grain port terminal, inland and river silos, and a trading office. Most of the facilities have been temporarily idled since February 24, 2022. The Company’s footprint in Russia is limited and operations have been recently scaled down to those related to the production and transport of essential food commodities and ingredients.

As a result of the recent events in Ukraine, the Company reviewed the valuation of its assets and recorded immaterial charges in the quarterthree and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 related to receivables and inventories. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, ADM concluded that 1) receivables, net of allowances, are deemed collectible; and 2) market inventories presented as level 3 in the fair value measurements table in Note 4 are valued appropriately at the February 24, 2022 market price due to the temporary lack of a more recent market price.activity. The temporarily idled property, plant, and equipment, which was immaterial, was not considered impaired. As the conflict in Ukraine evolves, the Company will continue to review the valuation of these assets and make any required adjustments, which are not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2.    Pending Accounting Standards

Through December 31, 2022, the Company has the option to adopt the amended guidance of ASCAccounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amended guidance do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship.  The Company plans to adopt the expedients and exceptions provided by the amended guidance before the December 31, 2022 expiry date and does not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which improves comparability for both the recognition and measurement of acquired revenue contracts with customers at the date of and after a business combination. The amended guidance requires an entity (acquirer) to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606.606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,(Topic 606). Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amended guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3.    Revenues

Revenue Recognition

The Company principally generates revenue from merchandising and transporting agricultural commodities, and manufacturing products for use in food, beverages, feed, energy, and industrial applications, and ingredients and solutions for human and animal nutrition. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company follows a policy of recognizing revenue at a single point in time when it satisfies its performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The majority of the Company’s contracts with customers have one performance obligation and a contract duration of one year or less. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph 10-50-14 of ASCTopic 606Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. For transportation service contracts, the Company recognizes revenue over time as the barge, ocean-going vessel, truck, rail, or container freight moves towards its destination in accordance with the transfer of control guidance of Topic 606. The Company recognized revenue from transportation service contracts of $175$209 million and $104$384 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, respectively, and $151 million and $255 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. For physically settled derivative sales contracts that are outside the scope of Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the inventory is transferred within the meaning of Topic 606 as required by ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Topic 610-20).

(1) Topic 815 revenue relates to the physical delivery or the settlement of the Company’s sales contracts that are accounted for as derivatives and are outside the scope of Topic 606.

Ag Services and Oilseeds

The Ag Services and Oilseeds segment generates revenue from the sale of commodities, from service fees for the transportation of goods, from the sale of products manufactured in its global processing facilities, and from its structured trade finance activities. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or providing service to a customer. For transportation service contracts, the Company recognizes revenue over time as the barge, ocean-going vessel, truck, rail, or container freight moves towards its destination in accordance with the transfer of control guidance of Topic 606. The amount of revenue recognized follows the contractually specified price, which may include freight or other contractually specified cost components. For physically settled derivative sales contracts that are outside the scope of Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the inventory is transferred within the meaning of Topic 606 as required by Topic 610-20.

Carbohydrate Solutions

The Carbohydrate Solutions segment generates revenue from the sale of products manufactured at the Company’s global corn and wheat milling facilities around the world. Revenue is recognized when control over products is transferred to the customer. Products are shipped to customers from the Company’s various facilities and from its network of storage terminals. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the consideration specified in the contract, which could include freight and other costs depending on the specific shipping terms of each contract. For physically settled derivative sales contracts that are outside the scope of Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the inventory is transferred within the meaning of Topic 606 as required by Topic 610-20.

Estimated fair values for inventories and inventory-related payables carried at market are based on exchange-quoted prices, adjusted for differences in local markets and quality, referred to as basis. Market valuations for the Company’s inventories are adjusted for location and quality (basis) because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts that have standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade. The basis adjustments are generally determined using the inputs from competitor and broker quotations or market transactions in either the listed or over the counter (OTC) markets and are considered observable. In some cases, the basis adjustments are unobservable because they are supported by little to no market activity. When unobservable inputs have a significant impact (more than 10%) on the measurement of fair value, the inventory is classified in Level 3. Changes in the fair value of inventories are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as a component of cost of products sold.

Note 4.    Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
Derivative contracts include exchange-traded commodity futures and options contracts, forward commodity purchase and sale contracts, and OTC instruments related primarily to agricultural commodities, energy, interest rates, and foreign currencies.  Exchange-traded futures and options contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified in Level 1.  The majority of the Company’s exchange-traded futures and options contracts are cash-settled on a daily basis and, therefore, are not included in these tables.  Fair value for forward commodity purchase and sale contracts is estimated based on exchange-quoted prices adjusted for differences in local markets.  Market valuations for the Company’s forward commodity purchase and sale contracts are adjusted for location (basis) because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts that have standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade. The basis adjustments are generally determined using inputs from competitor and broker quotations or market transactions in either the listed or OTC markets and are considered observable. In some cases, the basis adjustments are unobservable because they are supported by little to no market activity. When observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the contract, it is classified in Level 2.  When unobservable inputs have a significant impact (more than 10%) on the measurement of fair value, the contract is classified in Level 3. Except for certain derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of commodity-related derivatives are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as a component of cost of products sold.  Changes in the fair value of foreign currency-related derivatives are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as a component of revenues, cost of products sold, or other (income) expense - net, depending upon the purpose of the contract. The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as effective cash flow hedges are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) until the hedged items are recorded in earnings or it is probable the hedged transaction will no longer occur.

The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds valued using quoted market prices and are classified in Level 1.

The Company’s segregated investments are comprised of U.S. Treasury securities. U.S. Treasury securities are valued using quoted market prices and are classified in Level 1.

The debt conversion option is the equity-linked embedded derivative related to the exchangeable bonds issued in August 2020. The fair value of the embedded derivative is included in long-term debt, with changes in fair value recognized as interest, and is valued with the assistance of a third-party pricing service (a level 3 measurement).

The following table presents a rollforward of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022.

Transfers into Level 3 of assets and liabilities previously classified in Level 2 were due to the relative value of unobservable inputs to the total fair value measurement of certain products and derivative contracts rising above the 10% threshold. Transfers out of Level 3 were primarily due to the relative value of unobservable inputs to the total fair value measurement of certain products and derivative contracts falling below the 10% threshold and thus permitting reclassification to Level 2.

In some cases, the price components that result in differences between exchange-traded prices and local prices for inventories and commodity purchase and sale contracts are observable based upon available quotations for these pricing components, and in some cases, the differences are unobservable. These price components primarily include transportation costs and other adjustments required due to location, quality, or other contract terms. In the table below, these other adjustments are referred to as basis. The changes in unobservable price components are determined by specific local supply and demand characteristics at each facility and the overall market. Factors such as substitute products, weather, fuel costs, contract terms, and futures prices also impact the movement of these unobservable price components.

In certain of the Company’s principal markets, the Company relies on price quotes from third parties to value its inventories and physical commodity purchase and sale contracts. These price quotes are generally not further adjusted by the Company in determining the applicable market price. In some cases, availability of third-party quotes is limited to only one or two independent sources. In these situations, absent other corroborating evidence, the Company considers these price quotes as 100% unobservable and, therefore, the fair value of these items is reported in Level 3.

Note 5.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The majority of the Company’s derivative instruments have not been designated as hedging instruments. The Company uses exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts to manage its net position of merchandisable agricultural product inventories and forward cash purchase and sales contracts to reduce price risk caused by market fluctuations in agricultural commodities and foreign currencies.  The Company also uses exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts as components of merchandising strategies designed to enhance margins. The results of these strategies can be significantly impacted by factors such as the correlation between the value of exchange-traded commodities futures contracts and the value of the underlying commodities, counterparty contract defaults, and volatility of freight markets. Derivatives, including exchange-traded contracts and forward commodity purchase or sale contracts, and inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural products, which include amounts acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at fair value or market value.  Inventory is not a derivative and therefore fair values of and changes in fair values of inventories are not included in the tables below.


The following table sets forth the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Note 5.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Continued)
Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow and Net Investment Hedging Strategies

The Company had certain derivatives designated as cash flow and net investment hedges as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, foreign exchange gains and losses related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are deferred in AOCI until the underlying investment is divested.

The Company uses cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange forwards designated as net investment hedges to protect the Company’s investment in a foreign subsidiary against changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company executed USD-fixed to Euro-fixed cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $0.8 billion and $1.2 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and foreign exchange forwards with an aggregate notional amount of $2.3$2.5 billion and $2.6 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had after-tax gains of $125 million and after-tax losses of $24 million and $44 million in AOCI, respectively, related to foreign exchange gains and losses from these net investment hedge transactions. The amount is deferred in AOCI until the underlying investment is divested.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flow that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of AOCI and as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows, and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item affected by the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  Hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and gains and losses related to discontinued hedges are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings during the current period.

The Company’s structured trade finance programs use interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the forecasted interest payments on certain letters of credit from banks. The terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the forecasted interest payments. The deferred gains and losses are recognized in revenues over the period in which the related interest payments are paid to the banks. The amounts are recorded in revenues as the related results are also recorded in revenues. As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had interest rate swaps maturing on various dates with aggregate notional amounts of $0.8 billion and $1.0 billion.billion, respectively.

The Company also uses swap locks designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the changes in the forecasted interest payments due to changes in the benchmark rate leading up to future bond issuance dates. The terms of the swap locks match the terms of the forecasted interest payments. The deferred gains and losses will be recognized in interest expense over the period in which the related interest payments will be paid. As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company executed swap locks maturing on various dates with an aggregate notional amount of $400 million.

As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had after-tax gains of $49$70 million and $35 million in AOCI, respectively, related to the interest rate swaps and swap locks. The Company expects to recognize amounts deferred in AOCI in its consolidated statement of earnings during the life of the debt instruments.

Note 5.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Continued)
For each of the hedge programs described below, the derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges.  The changes in the market value of such derivative contracts have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting changes in price movements of the hedged item.  Once the hedged item is recognized in earnings, the gains and losses arising from the hedge are reclassified from AOCI to either revenues or cost of products sold, as applicable. As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had after-tax gains of $370$282 million and $161 million in AOCI, respectively, related to gains and losses from these programs.  The Company expects to recognize $370$282 million of the March 31,June 30, 2022 after-tax gains in its consolidated statement of earnings during the next 12 months.

Note 5.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Continued)
The Company uses futures or options contracts to hedge the purchase price of anticipated volumes of corn to be purchased and processed in a future month.  The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s forecasted purchases of corn.  The Company’s corn processing plants normally grind approximately 65 million bushels of corn per month. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 17% and 42%33% of its monthly grind. At March 31,June 30, 2022, the Company had designated hedges representing between 0%1% and 29%32% of its anticipated monthly grind of corn for the next 12 months.

The Company, from time to time, also uses futures, options, and swaps to hedge the sales price of certain ethanol sales contracts.  The Company has established hedging programs for ethanol sales contracts that are indexed to unleaded gasoline prices and to various exchange-traded ethanol contracts. The objective of these hedging programs is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s sales of ethanol.  During the past 12 months and as of March 31,June 30, 2022, the Company had no hedges related to ethanol sales under these programs.

The Company uses futures and options contracts to hedge the purchase price of the anticipated volumes of soybeans to be purchased and processed in a future month for certain of its U.S. soybean crush facilities, subject to certain program limits. The Company also uses futures or options contracts to hedge the sales prices of anticipated soybean meal and soybean oil sales proportionate to the soybean crushing process at these facilities, subject to certain program limits.

Note 9.    Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 16.3%rates were 18.4% and 17.4% for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 15.9%13.7% and 14.8% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021.June 30, 2021, respectively. The change in the rate was primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of earnings.earnings and the impact of discrete tax items.

The Company is subject to income taxation and routine examinations in many jurisdictions around the world and frequently faces challenges regarding the amount of taxes due.  These challenges include positions taken by the Company related to the timing, nature, and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions.  In its routine evaluations of the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company recognizes a liability, when necessary, for estimated potential tax owed by the Company in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Resolution of the related tax positions, through negotiations with relevant tax authorities or through litigation, may take years to complete. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the timing for resolution of tax positions and the Company cannot predict or provide assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these ongoing or future examinations. However, the Company does not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease significantly in the next twelve months. Given the long periods of time involved in resolving tax positions, the Company does not expect that the recognition of unrecognized tax benefits will have a material impact on the Company’s effective income tax rate in any given period.

The Company’s subsidiary in Argentina, ADM Agro SRL (formerly ADM Argentina SA and Alfred C. Toepfer Argentina SRL), received tax assessments challenging transfer prices used to price grain exports for the tax years 1999 through 2011 and 2014. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, these assessments totaled $8$7 million in tax and up to $36$33 million in interest (adjusted for variation in currency exchange rates). The Argentine tax authorities conducted a review of income and other taxes paid by large exporters and processors of cereals and other agricultural commodities resulting in allegations of income tax evasion. The Company strongly believes that it has complied with all Argentine tax laws. To date, the Company has not received assessments for closed years subsequent to 2014. While the statute of limitations has expired for tax years 2012 and 2013, the Company cannot rule out receiving additional assessments challenging transfer prices used to price grain exports for years subsequent to 2014, and estimates that these potential assessments could be approximately $104$92 million in tax and $42$43 million in interest (adjusted for variation in currency exchange rates as of March 31,June 30, 2022). The Company believes that it has appropriately evaluated the transactions underlying these assessments, and has concluded, based on Argentine tax law, that its tax position would be sustained, and accordingly, has not recorded a tax liability for these assessments. In accordance with the accounting requirements for uncertain tax positions, the Company has not recorded an uncertain tax liability for this assessment because it has concluded that it is more likely than not to prevail on the matter based upon its technical merits and because the taxing jurisdiction’s process does not provide a mechanism for settling at less than the full amount of the assessment. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position against the current assessments and any similar assessments that may be issued for years subsequent to 2014.
In 2014, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in the Netherlands, ADM Europe B.V., received a tax assessment from the Netherlands tax authority challenging the transfer pricing aspects of a 2009 business reorganization, which involved two of its subsidiary companies in the Netherlands. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, this assessment was $90$81 million in tax and $32$29 million in interest (adjusted for variation in currency exchange rates). On April 23, 2020, the court issued an unfavorable ruling and in October 2020, assigned a third party expert to establish a valuation by early 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, the third party expert issued a final valuation. The Company expects the court to issue a ruling on this matter in the second quarterhalf of 2022. Subsequent appeals may take an extended period of time and could result in additional financial impacts of up to the entire amount of the assessment. The Company has carefully evaluated the underlying transactions and has concluded that the amount of gain recognized on the reorganization for tax purposes was appropriate. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, the Company has accrued its best estimate of what it believes will be the likely outcome of the litigation.

Company Overview

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

ADM is a global leader in human and animal nutrition and one of the world’s premier agricultural origination and processing companies. It is one of the world’s leading producers of ingredients for human and animal nutrition, and other products made from nature. The Company uses its significant global asset base to originate and transport agricultural commodities, connecting to markets in 200 countries.  The Company also processes corn, oilseeds, and wheat into products for food, animal feed, chemicalindustrial, and energy uses.  The Company also engages in the manufacturing, sale, and distribution of specialty products including natural flavor ingredients, flavor systems, natural colors, proteins, emulsifiers, soluble fiber, polyols, hydrocolloids, natural health and nutrition products, and other specialty food and feed ingredients. The Company uses its global asset network, business acumen, and its relationships with suppliers and customers to efficiently connect the harvest to the home thereby generating returns for our shareholders, principally from margins earned on these activities.

The Company’s operations are organized, managed, and classified into three reportable business segments: Ag Services and Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions, and Nutrition. Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services offered. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable business segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Other Business. Financial information with respect to the Company’s reportable business segments is set forth in Note 12 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1 herein, “Financial Statements”.

The Company’sADM’s recent significant portfolio actions and announcements include:

the acquisition in February 2022 of Comhan, a leading South African flavor distributor;
the announcement in April 2022 of a growth investment in the Company’s oilseed facility in Mainz, Germany, which is expected to be completed in Q3 2023;
the announcement in April 2022 of a $300 million investment in Decatur, ILIllinois to expand alternative protein production and the opening of a new, state-of-the-art protein innovation center; andcenter, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025;
the announcement in April 2022 of a commitment to achieve 100% deforestation-free supply chains by 2025, five years earlier than previously targeted.targeted;
the announcement in May 2022 to significantly expand starch production at the Company’s Marshall, Minnesota facility, which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2023;
the announcement in May 2022 of five projects funded with support from ADM, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, to provide farmers with technical and financial resources to help plant cover crop on half a million acres;
the announcement in June 2022 of the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Bayer, a global enterprise with core competencies in the life science fields of healthcare and agriculture, to build and implement a sustainable crop protection model to soybean farmers in India; and
the announcement in July 2021 of the signing of an agreement with Farmers Business Network (FBN) to expand availability of FBN’s leading-edge digital farm business management platform, Gradable, to ADM’s network of farmers across North America, offering 55,000 growers a comprehensive digital solution to manage their businesses and measure sustainable production data.

Sustainability is a key driver in ADM’s expanding portfolio of environmentally responsible, plant-derived products. Consumers today increasingly expect their food and drink to come from sustainable ingredients, produced by companies that share their values, and ADM is continually finding new ways to meet those needs through its portfolio actions.

The current phase of the Company’s strategic transformation is focused on two strategic pillars: Productivity and Innovation.

The Productivity pillar includes (1) advancing the roles of the Company’s Centers of Excellence in procurement, supply chain, and operations to deliver additional efficiencies across the enterprise; (2) continued roll out of the 1ADM business transformation program and implementation of improved standardized business processes; and (3) increased use of technology, analytics, and automation at production facilities, in offices, and with customers.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Environmental and Social Responsibility

The Company’s policy to protect forests, biodiversity, and communities includes provisions that promote conservation of water resources and biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, promote solutions to reduce climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, and support agriculture as a means to advance sustainable development by reducing poverty and increasing food security. Additionally, the policy confirms ADM’s commitment to protect human rights defenders, whistleblowers, complainants, and community spokespersons; ADM’s aspiration to cooperate with all parties necessary to enable access to fair and just remediation; and the Company’s non-compliance protocol for suppliers. By the end of 2022, the Company expects to achieve full traceability of its direct and indirect sourcing throughout its soy supply chains in Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. ADM aims to eliminate deforestation from all of the Company’s supply chains by 2025.

In 2020, ADM announced its environmental stewardship goals, collectively called “Strive 35” – an ambitious plan to, by 2035, reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 25 percent from a 2019 baseline, reduce energy intensity by 15 percent, reduce water intensity by 10 percent, and achieve a 90 percent landfill diversion rate.

In 2021, ADM added 5-year interim targets to ensure the Company stays on track to meet its 2035 goals. By 2025, the Company aims to reduce absolute GHG emissions by 1.5%, reduce energy and water intensity by 6% and 5%, respectively, and achieve 87% of its waste diverted from landfill.

In 2021, the Company announced its Scope 3 GHG reduction goal, focused upon the five most material Scope 3 categories for the Company; purchased goods and services; fuel and energy related emissions; upstream transportation and distribution; waste; and processing of solid products/goods. ADM aims to reduce its absolute Scope 3 emissions by 25% from a 2019 baseline by 2035.

Operating Performance Indicators

The Company is exposed to certain risks inherent to an agricultural-based commodity business. These risks are further described in Part I Item 1A, “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in Part II Item 1A “Risk Factors” on page 44.55.

The Company’s Ag Services and Oilseeds operations are principally agricultural commodity-based businesses where changes in
selling prices move in relationship to changes in prices of the commodity-based agricultural raw materials. As a result, changes in agricultural commodity prices have relatively equal impacts on both revenues and cost of products sold. Therefore, changes in revenues of these businesses do not necessarily correspond to changes in margins or gross profit. Thus, gross margins per volume or metric ton are more meaningful than gross margins as percentage of revenues.

The Company’s Carbohydrate Solutions operations and Nutrition businesses also utilize agricultural commodities (or products derived from agricultural commodities) as raw materials. However, in these operations, agricultural commodity market price changes do not necessarily correlate to changes in cost of products sold. Therefore, changes in revenues of these businesses may correspond to changes in margins or gross profit. Thus, gross margin rates are more meaningful as a performance indicator in these businesses.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The Company has consolidated subsidiaries in more than 70 countries. For the majority of the Company’s subsidiaries located outside the United States, the local currency is the functional currency except for certain significant subsidiaries in Switzerland where Euro is the functional currency, and Brazil and Argentina where U.S. dollar is the functional currency. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates for the applicable periods. For the majority of the Company’s business activities in Brazil and Argentina, the functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, certain transactions, including taxes, occur in local currency and require remeasurement to the functional currency. Changes in revenues are expected to be correlated to changes in expenses reported by the Company caused by fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Brazilian real, as compared to the U.S. dollar. Effective April 1, 2022, the Company changed the functional currency of its Turkish entities to the U.S. dollar which did not and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The Company measures its performance using key financial metrics including net earnings, gross margins, constant currency revenue, segment operating profit, adjusted segment operating profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, manufacturing expenses, selling, general, and administrative expenses, return on invested capital, and economic value added.added, and operating cash flows before working capital. Some of these metrics are not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. For more information, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” on page 38.pages 42 and 49. The Company’s financial results can vary significantly due to changes in factors such as fluctuations in energy prices, weather conditions, crop plantings, government programs and policies, trade policies, changes in global demand, general global economic conditions, changes in standards of living, global production of similar and competitive crops, and geopolitics.geopolitical developments. Due to the unpredictable nature of these unpredictableand other factors, the Company undertakes no responsibility for updating any forward-looking information contained within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Operations in Ukraine and Russia

ADM employs approximately 650 people in Ukraine and operates an oilseeds crushing plant, a grain port terminal, inland and river silos, and a trading office. Most of the facilities have been temporarily idled since February 24, 2022. The Company’s footprint in Russia is limited and operations have been recently scaled down to those related to the production and transport of essential food commodities and ingredients.

On February 24, 2022, Russian troops invaded Ukraine. While the Company’s Ukraine and Russian operations have historically represented less than 0.1% of consolidated revenues, the direct and indirect impacts of the ongoing military action could negatively affect ADM’s future operating results. The conflict in Ukraine has created disruptions in global supply chains and is expected to createhas created dislocations of key agricultural commodities. The indirect impact of these dislocations on the Company’s operating results will be a function of a number of variables including supply and demand responses from the rest of the world as well as the length of the conflict and the condition of the agricultural industry and export infrastructure after the conflict ends. For more information, refer to Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”.

As of March 31,June 30, 2022, ADM’s assets in Ukraine consisted primarily of current assets that were less than 1% of the Company’s total current assets and an immaterial amount of non-current assets. Of the total current assets in Ukraine, 79%76% were inventories that represented less than 2% of ADM’s total inventories.

Market Factors Influencing Operations or Results in the Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2022

The Company is subject to a variety of market factors which affect the Company's operating results. In Ag Services and Oilseeds, tight global stocks driven by a short crop in South America and good global demand drove commodity prices higher.the unprecedented market volatility continued along the entire value chain. The conflict in Ukraine resulted in even tighter global stocks of commodities and created high volatility which had a positivecontinued to have an impact on South American originationglobal commodity flows and prices. Global Trade results were driven by market disconnects, tight supply, and strong destination marketing volumesmargins. In South America, a more timely crop saw farmer selling return to historic norms and margins, and firm ocean freight rates.a tight global supply drove commodity prices higher. North American origination was negatively impacted by weather-related supply disruption.slow farmer selling, strained truck and rail systems in the interior, and weather disruption that resulted in delayed planting which negatively impacted fertilizer volume. Crushing margins benefited from strong protein and renewable diesel demand and tight oilseeds stocks. In Refined oilProducts and Other, margins were driven by strong oil demand and tight supply with volatile energy markets driving premiums up.up biodiesel margins. In Carbohydrate Solutions, demand infor starches and sweeteners was strongremained solid with margins remaining fairly steady on higher input costs.across the entire portfolio. Production and logistics issues in North America resulted in tightness in the market ahead of peak summer demand. Ethanol export demand was strong, driven by favorable blending economics and government incentives. Domestic ethanolgasoline demand improved significantly from thewas tracking at or above prior year levels, despite elevated gasoline prices. Industry ethanol production increased past the normal spring maintenance period, but remained below pre-pandemic levels. Industrypoor railroad logistics and heat hampered production of ethanol returned to pre-pandemic levels, with ethanol margins under pressure due to persistently high industry stocks.later in the quarter. Corn milling margins benefited from strong co-product results, as prices for oil and feed products rose in line with higher underlying corn prices. Corn costs were volatile and higher, in part due to a relatively low projected corn stocks-to-use ratio and uncertainty caused by the conflict in Ukraine and other inflationary pressures. Nutrition benefited from overall strong demand in various productfood, beverage, and dietary supplement categories. In Human Nutrition, demand for flavors, flavor systems, specialty proteins, bioactives, and fibers was strong, but increased energy and raw material costs adversely impacted results. In Animal Nutrition, amino acids pricing and margins improved due to a tighter global supply environment. Growing demand in complete food for petfood wasenvironment, partially offset by the devaluation of certain currencies and weak demand in other product lines with some customers cutting products out of formulation due to increased ingredient, freight, and energy costs. ADM’s productivity initiatives are improving the Company’s capabilities to help mitigate the impact of inflation.

The Company generally operates its production facilities, on an overall basis, at or near capacity, adjusting facilities individually, as needed, to react to the current margin environment and seasonal local supply and demand conditions. The overall decrease in oilseeds processed volumes was primarily related to decreased crush rates resulting from the decline in global demand for canola oilrapeseed, temporarily idled facility in Paraguay due to crop failure, and the indefinite shutdown of a Ukraine facility since February 2022. The overall increasedecrease in corn was primarily related to two dry mill facilities that were idled since April 2020logistical challenges surrounding railcar availability and restarted in April 2021, partially offset by the sale of the Peoria, ILIllinois facility in November 2021.

Revenues and cost of products sold in agriculturala commodity merchandising and processing business are significantly correlated to the underlying commodity prices and volumes. During periods of significant changes in commodity prices, the underlying performance of the Company is better evaluated by looking at margins because both revenues and cost of products sold, particularly in Ag Services and Oilseeds, generally have a relatively equal impact from market price changes, which generally result in an insignificant impact to gross profit.

Revenues increased $4.8$4.4 billion to $23.7$27.3 billion due to higher sales prices ($4.65.2 billion) and higher, partially offset by lower sales volumes ($0.20.8 billion).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted segment operating profit, non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. These performance measures are not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS adjusted for the effects on reported diluted EPS of specified items. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, 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 interest expense and depreciation and amortization to earnings before income taxes. Adjusted segment operating profit is segment operating profit adjusted, where applicable, for specified items.

Management believes that adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted segment operating profit 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. Adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted segment operating profit are not intended to replace or be an alternative to diluted EPS, earnings before income taxes, and segment operating profit, respectively, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Market Factors Influencing Operations or Results in the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

The Company is subject to a variety of market factors which affect the Company's operating results. In Ag Services and Oilseeds, tight global stocks driven by a short crop in South America and good global demand drove commodity prices higher. The conflict in Ukraine resulted in even tighter global stocks of commodities and created high volatility which had a positive impact on North and South American origination prices. Global Trade results were driven by market disconnects, tight supply, strong destination marketing margins, and firm ocean freight rates. North American origination was negatively impacted by weather-related supply disruption and delayed planting due to unfavorable weather which negatively impacted fertilizer volume. Crushing margins benefited from strong protein and renewable diesel demand and tight oilseeds stocks. In Refined Products and Other, margins were driven by strong oil demand and tight supply with volatile energy markets driving up biodiesel margins. In Carbohydrate Solutions, demand for starches and sweeteners was solid with margins remaining steady despite higher input costs. Domestic ethanol demand remained at or above the prior year, but below pre-pandemic levels. Export ethanol demand was strong, driven by favorable blending economics and government incentives. Industry production of ethanol returned to pre-pandemic levels as gasoline consumption remained robust even at higher gas prices. Corn milling margins benefited from strong co-product results, as prices for oil and feed products rose in line with higher underlying corn prices. Corn costs were volatile and higher, in part due to a relatively low projected corn stocks-to-use ratio and uncertainty caused by the conflict in Ukraine. Nutrition benefited from overall strong demand in various various food, beverage, and dietary supplement categories. In Human Nutrition, strong demand for flavors, flavor systems, specialty proteins, bioactives, and fibers were partially offset by higher energy and raw material costs. Margins remained robust on strong price actions. In Animal Nutrition, amino acids pricing and margins improved due to a tighter global supply environment, partially offset by the devaluation of certain currencies and weak demand in other product lines with some customers cutting products out of formulation due to increased ingredient, freight, and energy costs. ADM’s productivity initiatives are improving the Company’s capabilities to help mitigate the impact of inflation.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net earnings attributable to controlling interests increased $0.9 billion to $2.3 billion. Segment operating profit increased $1.1 billion to $3.4 billion and included a net charge of $26 million consisting of asset impairment, restructuring, and settlement charges of $27 million and a gain on sale of assets of $1 million. Included in segment operating profit in the prior period was a net charge of $109 million consisting of gains on the sale of assets of $22 million and asset impairment, restructuring, and settlement charges of $131 million. Adjusted segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) increased $1.0 billion to $3.4 billion due primarily to higher results in all businesses except in Vantage Corn Processors. Corporate results in the current and prior periods were a net charge of $0.6 billion. Corporate results in the current period included a mark-to-market gain of $4 million on the conversion option of the exchangeable bonds issued in August 2020. Corporate results in the prior period included a pension settlement charge of $82 million and a mark-to-market gain of $10 million on the conversion option of the exchangeable bonds issued in August 2020.

Income taxes of $486 million increased $242 million. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 17.4% compared to 14.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change in the rate was due primarily to changes in the geographic mix of pretax earnings and the impact of discrete tax items.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The Company generally operates its production facilities, on an overall basis, at or near capacity, adjusting facilities individually, as needed, to react to the current margin environment and seasonal local supply and demand conditions. The overall decrease in oilseeds processed volumes was primarily related to decreased crush rates resulting from the decline in global demand for rapeseed, temporarily idled facility in Paraguay due to crop failure, and the indefinite shutdown of a Ukraine facility since February 2022. The overall increase in corn was primarily related to two dry mill facilities that were idled since April 2020 and restarted in April 2021, partially offset by the sale of the Peoria, Illinois facility in November 2021 and logistical challenges surrounding railcar availability in the second quarter of 2022.

Revenues and cost of products sold in a commodity merchandising and processing business are significantly correlated to the underlying commodity prices and volumes. During periods of significant changes in commodity prices, the underlying performance of the Company is better evaluated by looking at margins because both revenues and cost of products sold, particularly in Ag Services and Oilseeds, generally have a relatively equal impact from commodity price changes, which generally result in an insignificant impact to gross profit.

Revenues increased $9.1 billion to $50.9 billion due to higher sales prices ($9.9 billion), partially offset by lower sales volumes ($0.8 billion). Higher sales prices of oils, soybeans, corn, wheat, farming materials, meal, biodiesel, flours, and alcohol, and higher sales volumes of milled rice and alcohol, were partially offset by lower volumes of soybeans, oils, corn, and wheat. Ag Services and Oilseeds revenues increased 19% to $39.7 billion due to higher sales prices ($7.9 billion), partially offset by lower sales volumes ($1.5 billion). Carbohydrate Solutions revenues increased 41% to $7.1 billion due to higher sales prices ($1.6 billion) and higher sales volumes ($0.5 billion) despite the loss of USD-grade industrial alcohol volumes from the divested Peoria, Illinois facility. Nutrition revenues increased 19% to $3.9 billion due to higher sales prices ($0.4 billion) and higher sales volumes ($0.2 billion).

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Cost of products sold increased $8.1 billion to $46.9 billion due principally to higher average commodity costs. Manufacturing expenses increased $0.4 billion to $3.3 billion due principally to higher energy costs, operating supplies, and maintenance.

Foreign currency translation decreased revenues and cost of goods sold by $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.

Gross profit increased $1.0 billion or 33% to $4.0 billion due principally to higher results in Ag Services and Oilseeds ($745 million), Starches and Sweeteners ($203 million), and Nutrition ($145 million), partially offset by lower results in Vantage Corn Processors ($78 million) and Other ($23 million) These factors are explained in the segment operating profit discussion on page 48.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $0.2 billion to $1.6 billion due principally to higher IT and project-related expenses, higher insurance costs, increased provisions for bad debt, amortization of intangibles from new acquisitions, and higher salaries and benefit costs.

Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs decreased $80 million to $2 million. Charges in the current period were not material. Charges in the prior period consisted of $54 million of impairments related to certain long-lived assets and $24 million of restructuring charges, presented as specified items within segment operating profit, and $4 million of restructuring charges in Corporate.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased $108 million to $396 million due primarily to higher earnings from the Company’s investments in Wilmar, Almidones Mexicanos S.A., Olenex, SoyVen, and Stratas Foods LLC.

Investment income increased $28 million to $91 million due primarily to higher interest income, partially offset by lower revaluation gains of $36 million compared to $40 million in the prior period.

Interest expense increased $38 million to $165 million due to higher debt balances and increased short-term rates on the Company’s U.S. and European commercial paper borrowing programs. Interest expense in the current period also included a $4 million mark-to-market gain adjustment related to the conversion option of the exchangeable bonds issued in August 2020 compared to a $10 million mark-to-market gain adjustment in the prior period.

Other income-net increased from a net expense of $16 million in the prior period to a net income of $116 million. Income in the current period included gains on disposals of individually insignificant assets in the ordinary course of business, the non-service components of net pension benefit income, a $50 million one-time payment from the USDA Biofuel Producer Recovery Program, foreign exchange gains, and other expense. Expense in the prior period included a non-cash pension settlement charge of $82 million related to the purchase of group annuity contracts that irrevocably transferred the future benefit obligations and annuity administration for certain salaried and hourly retirees and terminated vested participants under the ADM Retirement Plan and ADM Pension Plan for Hourly-Wage Employees to independent third parties, partially offset by gains on the sale of certain assets and disposals of individually insignificant assets in the ordinary course of business, the non-service components of net pension benefit income, foreign exchange gains, and other income.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Ag Services and Oilseeds operating profit increased 58%. Ag Services results were significantly higher versus the first half of 2021. Global trade results were higher, driven by strong performances in destination marketing and global ocean freight. North American origination margins and volumes were lower year-over-year. South America results were higher, driven by better origination margins on good demand for grain. Crushing was higher year over year in a strong global margin environment driven by robust protein and vegetable oil demand. Positive net timing effects in the current period versus negative timing effects in the prior period helped drive higher year-over-year results. Refined Products and Other results were higher than the prior period, driven by healthy refining premiums and good refined oils demand in North America, as well as strong biodiesel margins in EMEA. Equity earnings from Wilmar were higher versus the first half of 2021.

Carbohydrate Solutions operating profit increased 23%. Starches and Sweeteners, including ethanol production from the wet mills, delivered higher results versus the prior period, driven by solid margins across sweeteners and starches as well corn co-products, improved ethanol margins, and effective risk management. Sales volumes for starches and sweeteners continued their recovery, and the biosolutions platform continued to deliver revenue growth as demand for plant-based products expanded into more diverse applications. Vantage Corn Processors results were lower versus the prior period with improved ethanol margins and a $50 million one-time payment from the USDA Biofuel Producer Recovery Program partially offsetting the prior period’s strong positioning gains and industrial alcohol results from the now-sold Peoria, Illinois facility.

Nutrition operating profit increased 21%. Human Nutrition delivered higher year-over-year results. Flavors results were lower driven by softer demand in China. Strong sales growth in alternative proteins, including contribution from the Sojaprotein acquisition, and good demand for texturants offset some higher operating costs to help deliver better year-over-year results in Specialty Ingredients. Health and Wellness was also higher year-over-year, powered by probiotics, including contribution from the November 2021 Deerland Probiotics and Enzymes acquisition, and robust demand for fiber and Vitamin E. Animal Nutrition profits were higher than the prior period, due primarily to strength in amino acids.

Other Business operating profit increased $45 million, driven primarily by better performance in captive insurance, including reduced claim settlements versus the prior period and higher ADM Investor Services earnings.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Corporate results were a net charge of $0.6 billion in the current period which was comparable to the prior period. Interest expense-net increased $29 million due to higher debt balances, increased short-term rates on the Company’s U.S. and European commercial paper borrowing programs, and interest related to a tax item. Unallocated corporate costs increased $26 million due primarily to higher IT and project-related costs and higher costs in the Company’s centers of excellence, partially offset by lower incentive compensation accruals. Gain on debt conversion option was related to the mark-to-market adjustment of the conversion option of the exchangeable bonds issued in August 2020. Restructuring and settlement charges in the prior period included a non-cash pension settlement charge of $82 million related to the purchase of group annuity contracts that irrevocably transferred the future benefit obligations and annuity administration for certain salaried and hourly retirees and terminated vested participants under the ADM Retirement Plant and ADM Pension Plan for Hourly-Wage Employees to independent third parties, and restructuring charges. Other income in the current period included the non-service components of net pension benefit income of $12 million, an investment revaluation gain of $36 million and foreign exchange gains, partially offset by railroad maintenance expenses. Other income in the prior period included the non-service components of net pension benefit income of $11 million, an investment revaluation gain of $40 million, and foreign exchange gains.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted segment operating profit, non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. These performance measures are not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS adjusted for the effects on reported diluted EPS of specified items. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, 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 interest expense and depreciation and amortization to earnings before income taxes. Adjusted segment operating profit is segment operating profit adjusted, where applicable, for specified items.

Management believes that adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted segment operating profit 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. Adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted segment operating profit are not intended to replace or be an alternative to diluted EPS, earnings before income taxes, and segment operating profit, respectively, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources

A Company objective is to have sufficient liquidity, balance sheet strength, and financial flexibility to fund the operating and capital requirements of a capital-intensive agricultural commodity-based business.  The Company depends on access to credit markets, which can be impacted by its credit rating and factors outside of ADM’s control, to fund its working capital needs and capital expenditures. The primary source of funds to finance ADM’s operations, capital expenditures, and advancement of its growth strategy is cash generated by operations and lines of credit, including a commercial paper borrowing facility and accounts receivable securitization programs.  In addition, the Company believes it has access to funds from public and private equity and debt capital markets in both U.S. and international markets.

Cash used in operating activities was $1.2$0.7 billion for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 compared to cash provided of $0.3$3.0 billion for the same period last year. Working capital changes decreased cash by $2.8$3.9 billion for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 compared to a decreasean increase of $0.9$0.8 billion for the same period last year. Segregated cash and investments increased approximately $1.8 due to increased trading activity in the Company’s futures commission and brokerage business. Trade receivables increased $0.9$2.2 billion due to higher revenues. Inventories increased approximately $2.9$0.3 billion due to higher inventory prices partially offset by lower inventory volumes. Other current assets increased $2.1$1.6 billion primarily due to increases in contracts and futures gains, and margin deposits and grain accounts.accounts, and customer omnibus receivable. Brokerage payables increased approximately $2.5 billion due to increased customer trading activity in the Company’s futures commission and brokerage business. Accrued expenses and other payables increased $1.4 billion primarily due to increases in contracts and futures losses.

Cash used in investing activities was $0.3$0.6 billion for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 compared to $0.2$0.4 billion for the same period last year. Capital expenditures for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 of $0.2were $0.5 billion were comparablecompared to $0.4 billion for the same period last year. Other-net for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 of $0.1 billion consisted of new and additional cost method equity investments.

Cash provided by financing activities was $3.3$1.5 billion for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 compared to $1.1a use of $0.6 billion for the same period last year. Long-term debt borrowings for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 of $0.8 billion consisted of the $750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.900% notes due 2032, compared to long-term debt borrowings for the same period last year of $0.6 billion which consisted of the €0.5 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate senior notes due 2022 issued in a private placement on March 25, 2021. The Company expects to apply an amount equal to the proceeds from the borrowings in the current period to finance or refinance eligible green projects and/or eligible social projects. Proceeds from the borrowings in the prior period were used for general corporate purposes. Net borrowings from short-term credit agreements for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 were $2.8$1.4 billion compared to $0.7net payments of $0.8 billion for the same period last year. Proceeds from the current period short-term borrowings were used to fund working capital needs. Dividends of $0.2$0.5 billion for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 were comparable to the same period last year. Share repurchases for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $0.2 billion compared to an insignificant amount for the same period last year.

At March 31,June 30, 2022, the Company had $1.1$0.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents and a current ratio, defined as current assets divided by current liabilities, of 1.41.5 to 1. Included in working capital was $12.0$8.9 billion of readily marketable commodity inventories. At March 31,June 30, 2022, the Company’s capital resources included shareholders’ equity of $23.8$24.4 billion and lines of credit, including the accounts receivable securitization programs described below, totaling $14.3$14.7 billion, of which $8.2$10.6 billion was unused. The Company’s ratio of long-term debt to total capital (the sum of the Company’s long-term debt and shareholders’ equity) was 27%25% and 26% at March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company uses this ratio as a measure of the Company’s long-term indebtedness and an indicator of financial flexibility. The Company’s ratio of net debt (the sum of short-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt, and long-term debt less the sum of cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities) to capital (the sum of net debt and shareholders’ equity) was 34%30% and 28% at March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Of the Company’s total lines of credit, $6.5 billion supported the combined U.S. and European commercial paper borrowing programs, against which there was $0.7$0.2 billion commercial paper outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2022.

As of March 31,June 30, 2022, the Company had $1.1$0.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents, $0.4 billion of which was cash held by foreign subsidiaries whose undistributed earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. Based on the Company’s historical ability to generate sufficient cash flows from its U.S. operations and unused and available U.S. credit capacity of $6.5$9.5 billion, the Company has asserted that these funds are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The Company has accounts receivable securitization programs (the “Programs”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers. The Programs provide the Company with up to $2.3$2.6 billion in funding against accounts receivable transferred into the Programs and expands the Company’s access to liquidity through efficient use of its balance sheet assets (see Note 14 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1 herein, “Financial Statements” for more information and disclosures on the Programs).

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The Company’s purchase obligations as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $22.9$19.7 billion and $18.6 billion, respectively.  The increase is primarily related to obligations to purchase agricultural commodity inventories at higher prices. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, the Company expects to make payments related to purchase obligations of $21.8$18.4 billion within the next twelve months. There were no other material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2022.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

In May 2022, the Company extended its First Program with certain commercial and conduit purchases and committed purchasers and increased its facility from $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion. The First Program terminates on November 18, 2022 unless extended.

For a description of the Company’s critical accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, see Part II, Item 7 and Note 1 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.2021.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The market risk inherent in the Company’s market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in: commodity market prices as they relate to the Company’s net commodity position, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates.  Significant changes in market risk sensitive instruments and positions for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2022 are described below.  There were no material changes during the period in the Company’s potential loss arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

For detailed information regarding the Company’s market risk sensitive instruments and positions, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (Continued)
Commodities

The availability and prices of agricultural commodities are subject to wide fluctuations due to factors such as changes in weather conditions, crop disease, plantings, government programs and policies, competition, changes in global demand, changes in customer preferences and standards of living, and global production of similar and competitive crops.




41




ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (Continued)
The fair value of the Company’s commodity position is a summation of the fair values calculated for each commodity by valuing all of the commodity positions at quoted market prices for the period, where available, or utilizing a close proxy. The Company has established metrics to monitor the amount of market risk exposure, which consist of volumetric limits and value-at-risk (VaR) limits. VaR measures the potential loss, at a 95% confidence level, that could be incurred over a one-year period. Volumetric limits are monitored daily and VaR calculations and sensitivity analysis are monitored weekly.

In addition to measuring the hypothetical loss resulting from an adverse two standard deviation move in market prices (assuming no correlations) over a one-year period using VaR, sensitivity analysis is performed measuring the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in market prices. The highest, lowest, and average weekly position together with the market risk from a hypothetical 10% adverse price change is as follows:

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of March 31,June 30, 2022, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

During 2018, the Company launched an initiative called Readiness to drive new efficiencies and improve the customer experience in the Company’s existing businesses through a combination of data analytics, process simplification and standardization, and behavioral and cultural change, building upon its earlier 1ADM and operational excellence programs. As part of this transformation, the Company is implementing a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system on a worldwide basis, which is expected to occur in phases over the next several years. The first phase of the ERP system implementation occurred in October 2021 to a limited pilot scope of legal entities. The Company continues to consider these changes in its design of and testing for effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and concluded, as part of the evaluation described in the above paragraph, that the implementation of the new ERP system in these circumstances has not materially affected its internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is routinely involved in a number of actual or threatened legal actions, including those involving alleged personal injuries, employment law, product liability, intellectual property, environmental issues, alleged tax liability (see Note 9 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1 herein, “Financial Statements” for information on income tax matters), and class actions. The Company also routinely receives inquiries from regulators and other government authorities relating to various aspects of its business, and at any given time, the Company has matters at various stages of resolution. The outcomes of these matters are not within the Company’s complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In some actions, claimants seek damages, as well as other relief including injunctive relief, that could require significant expenditures or result in lost revenues. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for material loss contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. When determining the estimated loss or range of loss, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. Estimates of probable losses resulting from litigation and governmental proceedings involving the Company are inherently difficult to predict, particularly when the matters are in early procedural stages, with incomplete facts or legal discovery; involve unsubstantiated or indeterminate claims for damages; potentially involve penalties, fines, disgorgement, or punitive damages; or could result in a change in business practice.









43




ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued)

On September 4, 2019, AOT Holding AG (“AOT”) filed a putative class action under the U.S. Commodities Exchange Act in federal district court in Urbana, Illinois, alleging that the Company sought to manipulate the benchmark price used to price and settle ethanol derivatives traded on futures exchanges. On March 16, 2021, AOT filed an amended complaint adding a second named plaintiff Maize Capital Group, LLC (“Maize”). AOT and Maize allege that members of the putative class collectively suffered “hundreds of millions of dollars in damages”damages calculated to be between approximately $500 million to over $2.0 billion as a result of the Company’s alleged actions. On July 14, 2020, Green Plains Inc. and its related entities (“GP”) filed a putative class action lawsuit, alleging substantially the same operative facts, in federal court in Nebraska, seeking to represent sellers of ethanol. On July 23, 2020, Midwest Renewable Energy, LLC (“MRE”) filed a putative class action in federal court in Illinois alleging substantially the same operative facts and asserting claims under the Sherman Act. On November 11, 2020, United Wisconsin Grain Producers LLC (“UWGP”) and five other ethanol producers filed a lawsuit in federal court in Illinois alleging substantially the same facts and asserting claims under the Sherman Act and Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin law. The court granted ADM’s motion to dismiss the MRE and UWGP complaints without prejudice on August 9, 2021 and September 28, 2021, respectively. On August 16, 2021, the court granted ADM’s motion to dismiss the GP complaint, dismissing one claim with prejudice and declining jurisdiction over the remaining state law claim. MRE filed an amended complaint on August 30, 2021, which ADM moved to dismiss on September 27, 2021. UWGP filed an amended complaint on October 19, 2021, which ADM moved to dismissthe court dismissed on December 9, 2021.July 12, 2022. On October 26, 2021, GP filed a new complaint in Nebraska federal district court, alleging substantially the same facts and asserting a claim for tortious interference with contractual relations. On March 18, 2022, the Nebraska federal district court granted ADM’s motion to transfer the GP case back to the Central District of Illinois for further proceedings. ADM moved to dismiss the complaint on May 20, 2022. The Company denies liability, and is vigorously defending itself in these actions. As these actions are in pretrial proceedings, the Company is unable at this time to predict the final outcome with any reasonable degree of certainty, but believes the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceeding or environmental claim that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Except as presented below, there were no other significant changes in the Company’s risk factors during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2022.

The Company faces risks related to international conflicts, terrorism or other geopolitical events, such as the conflict in Ukraine, and related sanctions and other economic disruptions.

ADM’s assets and operations located in the region affected by the conflict in Ukraine are at an increased risk to property damage, inventory loss, business disruption, and expropriation. The conflict could continue to impact global margins due to increased commodity, energy, and input costs. The Black Sea region is a major exporter of wheat and corn to the world, and the disruption of supply could cause volatility in prices and margins of these commodities and related products. Ukraine is also the largest supplier of sun seed and sun oil in the world which cannot be completely replaced from other origins. If current inventories are depleted prior to the restoration of operations, Europe will have to reformulate to alternative oils. In addition to ADM’s operations, one of the Company’s joint ventures is also exposed to the same risks. While the Company has a robust sanction program, there is a risk that ADM and its related parties could trade with a sanctioned partner due to the number and fast-changing nature of sanctions being taken against Russia. The Company may also face increased cyber risk given that Russia is known to have extensive capabilities to engage in cyber attacks. Trade receivables may be at risk of higher defaults and other third-party risks could affect ADM’s ability to obtain inputs if suppliers are unable to perform or face insolvency, as certain supplies may not be attainable due to sanctions and/or restrictions on cross-border payment transactions. The Company could be materially impacted if, in the worst-case scenario, the conflict advances to other countries. In such circumstances, trade policies and the Company’s critical global supply chain and logistical networks could be affected, impairing the Company’s ability to satisfy contractual obligations and impacting working capital requirements. Insurance may not adequately cover these risks. In addition, provisions for certain products that ADM produces, particularly those that support the food services channels, could be materially impacted. The Company continues to monitor the conflict in Ukraine and evaluate alternatives to mitigate the impacts of these risks.
