SEABOARD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

~~Basis of Presentation~~

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Seaboard Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Seaboard”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Seaboard for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed in its annual report on Form 10-K. Seaboard’s first three quarterly periods include approximately 13 weekly periods ending on the Saturday closest to the end of March, June and September. Seaboard’s year-end is December ~~31.~~31^st. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Seaboard has consistently applied all accounting policies as disclosed in its latest annual report on Form 10-K to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Non-cash investing activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2022, included purchases of property, plant and equipment in accounts payable of $5$26 million. The following table includes supplemental cash and non-cash information related to leases. Seaboard reports the amortization of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and changes in operating lease liabilities in other liabilities, exclusive of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

ROU assets obtained in exchange for new lease liabilities:
Operating leases	$	13	$	13	$	23	$	84
Finance leases		59		4		93		6

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill was related to foreign currency exchange differences of $2$4 million within the Commodity Trading and Milling (“CT&M”) segment. As of ~~April~~July 2, 2022, other intangible assets, included in other non-current assets, were ~~$42~~$39 million, net of accumulated amortization of ~~$34~~$36 million.

Income Taxes

Seaboard computes its year-to-date provision for income ~~tax provision~~taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period.

The change in unrealized gains (losses) related to trading securities still held at the end of the respective reporting period was ($~~42)~~110) million and ~~$65~~($150) million for the three and six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2022, respectively, and ~~April~~$9 million and $17 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively.

Seaboard had ~~$37~~$23 million and $46 million of short-term investments denominated in foreign currencies, primarily euros, as of ~~April~~July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

AsSeaboard had long-term investments of ~~April~~$156 million and $156 million as of July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, ~~Seaboard had long-term~~respectively, classified in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. These investments ~~of $160 million and $156 million, respectively,~~are primarily in a business development company (“BDC”), real estate and renewable energy facilities. The BDC investment is included in the fair value hierarchy table in Note 6 and the other investments are primarily accounted for under the equity method of ~~accounting. Long-term investments are classified~~accounting with any gains/losses recorded in other ~~non-current assets~~investment income (loss). During the second quarter of 2022, Seaboard committed to invest $52 million in a solar renewable energy project in Guam and received $46 million of federal investment tax credits upon commercial operation of the project that impacted Seaboard’s effective tax rate as a discrete item. Seaboard accounts for this solar investment using the flow-through method and recognized the impact of the investment tax credits in the period earned on a gross basis, with the ~~consolidated balance sheets.~~charge related to the reduction of the investment recorded in other investment income (loss) offset by the benefit of the credits recorded in income tax benefit (expense). Seaboard funded $10 million of this commitment during the second quarter of 2022 and expects to fund the remaining commitment of $42 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Legal Proceedings

Helms-Burton Act Litigation

On July 21, 2021, a lawsuit was filed by an individual, Odette Blanco de Fernandez, who alleges that she owns a claim to confiscated property, related persons who purportedly inherited claims to confiscated property (“Inheritors”) and estates of deceased persons who purportedly own claims to confiscated property (“Estates”) against Seaboard Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware under Title III of the Cuban Liberty and Solidarity Act of 1996, also known as the Helms-Burton Act (the “Act”). The same plaintiffs filed a separate lawsuit against Seaboard Marine Ltd. (“Seaboard Marine”) on December 20, 2020, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The Act provides that any person who knowingly and intentionally “traffics” in property which was confiscated by the Cuban government may be liable to any U.S. national who acquires an ownership interest to such property for money damages in an amount equal to the greater of the current fair market value of the property or the value of the property when confiscated, plus interest from the date of confiscation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and treble damages under certain circumstances. The complaint in each of the cases alleges that the plaintiffs acquired ownership interests to a 70-year concession to develop port facilities at Mariel Bay, Cuba, and to ownership of surrounding land, and that these and other property rights were confiscated by the Cuban government in 1960. The complaints further allege that Seaboard Corporation and Seaboard Marine knowingly and intentionally “trafficked” within the meaning of the Act in the confiscated property by carrying and/or directing cargo to the Port of Mariel. The Court in the Seaboard Marine case dismissed the claims of the Inheritors and the Estates because they did not acquire the ownership claims prior to March 1996, as required by the Act. The Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration of the dismissal of the Estates. The remaining plaintiff contends she owns 20% of the companies that owned the concession and land. On April 8, 2022, Seaboard Marine filed a Motion for Summary Judgement and a Motion to Exclude Opinions of Plaintiff’s Experts, including Plaintiff’s two experts’ opinions on ~~damages.~~damages, which motions are pending. The case is set on the Court’s trial calendar for ~~August 1,~~October 11, 2022. As to the suit against Seaboard Corporation, on October 21, 2021, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint which principally adds allegations that there were additional callings made by Seaboard Marine at the Port of Mariel and that Seaboard Corporation engaged in a pattern of doing business with individuals and entities in contravention of ~~the~~U.S. foreign ~~policy of the U.S.~~policy. Seaboard Corporation has filed a Motion to Dismiss, which has been briefed and is pending. The operative complaints in each lawsuit seek unspecified damages (including treble damages) and pre-filing interest as provided in the Act; pre-judgment interest; attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses; and such other relief as is just and proper. Seaboard Corporation and Seaboard Marine believe they have meritorious defenses to the claims alleged in these matters and intend to vigorously defend these matters. It is impossible at this stage either to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from either of these suits, or to reasonably estimate the amount of potential loss or range of potential loss, if any, resulting from the suits. However, the outcome of litigation is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, and if unfavorable, could result in a material liability.

In re Pork Antitrust Litigation

On June 28, 2018, 12 indirect purchasers of pork products filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota (the “District Court”) against several pork processors, including Seaboard Foods LLC and Agri Stats, Inc., a company described in the complaint as a data sharing service. The complaint also named Seaboard Corporation as a defendant. Additional class action complaints ~~making~~with similar claims on behalf of putative classes of direct and indirect purchasers were later filed in the District Court, and 3 additional actions by standalone plaintiffs (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) were filed in or transferred to the District Court. The consolidated actions are styled In re Pork Antitrust Litigation. The operative complaints allege, among other things, that beginning in January 2009, the defendants conspired and combined to fix, raise, maintain, and stabilize the price of pork products in

violation of U.S. antitrust laws by coordinating ~~their~~ output and limiting production, allegedly facilitated by the exchange of non-public information about prices, capacity, sales volume and demand through Agri Stats, Inc. The complaints on behalf of the putative classes of indirect purchasers also assert claims under various state laws, including state antitrust laws, unfair competition laws, consumer protection statutes, and common law unjust enrichment. The relief sought in the respective complaints includes treble damages, injunctive relief, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. On October 16, 2020, the District Court denied defendants’ motions to dismiss the amended complaints, but the District Court later dismissed all claims against Seaboard Corporation without prejudice.

In 2021 and 2022, additional standalone plaintiffs filed similar actions in other federal courts throughout the country, several of which name Seaboard Corporation as a defendant. These actions have been or are expected to be conditionally transferred to Minnesota for pretrial proceedings pursuant to an order by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. Also in 2021, the states of New Mexico and Alaska filed civil cases in state court against substantially the same defendants, including Seaboard Foods LLC and Seaboard Corporation, based on substantially similar allegations.

Seaboard believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims alleged in these matters and intends to vigorously defend these matters. It is impossible at this stage either to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from these suits, or to reasonably estimate the amount of potential loss or range of potential loss, if any, resulting from the suits.

Cereoil and Nolston Litigation

On March 20, 2018, the bankruptcy trustee (the “Trustee”) for Cereoil Uruguay S.A. (“Cereoil”) filed a suit in the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance in Uruguay that was served during the second quarter of 2018, naming as parties Seaboard Corporation and its subsidiaries, Seaboard Overseas Limited (“SOL”) and Seaboard Uruguay Holdings Ltd. (“Seaboard Uruguay”). Seaboard Corporation has a 45% indirect ownership of Cereoil. The suit seeks an order requiring Seaboard Corporation, SOL and Seaboard Uruguay to reimburse Cereoil the amount of $22 million, contending that deliveries of soybeans to SOL pursuant to purchase agreements should be set aside as fraudulent conveyances. Seaboard believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims alleged in this matter and intends to vigorously defend this matter. It is impossible at this stage to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from this suit. In the event of an adverse ruling, Seaboard and its 2 subsidiaries could be ordered to pay the amount of $22 million plus interest. Any award in this case would offset against any award in the additional case described below filed by the Trustee on April 27, 2018.

On April 27, 2018, the Trustee for Cereoil filed ~~another~~an additional suit in the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance in Uruguay that was served during the second quarter of 2018, naming as parties Seaboard Corporation, SOL, Seaboard Uruguay, all directors of Cereoil, including 2 individuals employed by Seaboard who served as directors at the behest of Seaboard, and the Chief Financial Officer of Cereoil, an employee of Seaboard who also served at the behest of Seaboard (collectively, the “Cereoil Defendants”). The Trustee contends that the Cereoil Defendants acted with willful misconduct to cause Cereoil’s insolvency, and thus should be ordered to pay all liabilities of Cereoil, net of assets. The bankruptcy filing lists total liabilities of $53 million and assets of $30 million. Seaboard believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims alleged in this matter and intends to vigorously defend this matter. It is impossible at this stage to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from this suit. In the event of an adverse ruling, Seaboard Corporation and the other Cereoil Defendants could be ordered to pay the amount of the net indebtedness of Cereoil, which based on the bankruptcy schedules would total $23 million. It is possible that the net indebtedness could be higher than this amount if Cereoil’s liabilities are greater than $53 million and/or Cereoil’s assets are worth less than $30 million.

In addition, in the event of an adverse ruling, the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance could order payment of the Trustee’s professional fees, interest, and other expenses. Any award in this case would offset against any award in the case described above filed on March 20, 2018.

On September 30, 2021, HSBC Bank (Uruguay) SA ("HSBC"), a creditor in the Cereoil bankruptcy proceeding pending in Uruguay, filed a suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas against Seaboard Corporation alleging claims for breach of contract, promissory estoppel, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, fraud, negligent misrepresentation and fraud by concealment based upon a comfort letter, alleged statements by Cereoil personnel (including the Chief Financial Officer serving at the behest of Seaboard), and the same grain transactions that the Trustee challenges as fraudulent conveyances in the Cereoil bankruptcy in Uruguay discussed above. HSBC seeks $10 million plus interest and other relief in excess of $3.2 million. Seaboard believes that is has meritorious defenses to the claims alleged in this matter and intends to vigorously defend this matter. It is impossible at this stage to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from this suit.

On May 15, 2018, the Trustee for Nolston S.A. (“Nolston”) filed a suit in the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance in Uruguay that was served during the second quarter of 2018, naming as parties Seaboard and the other Cereoil Defendants. Seaboard has a 45% indirect ownership of Nolston. The Trustee contends that the Cereoil Defendants acted with willful misconduct to cause Nolston’s insolvency, and thus should be ordered to pay all liabilities of Nolston, net of assets. The bankruptcy filing lists total liabilities of $29 million and assets of $15 million. Seaboard believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims alleged in this matter and intends to vigorously defend this matter. It is impossible at this stage to determine the probability of a favorable or unfavorable outcome resulting from this suit. In the event of an adverse ruling, Seaboard and the other Cereoil Defendants could be ordered to pay the amount of the net indebtedness of Nolston, which based on the bankruptcy schedules, asset sales and removal of duplicative claims, is estimated to be approximately $8 million. In addition, in the event of an adverse ruling, the Bankruptcy Court of First Instance could order payment of the Trustee’s professional fees, interest, and other expenses.

Financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, net receivables, lines of credit and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value as a result of the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of short-term investments is measured using multiple levels. Domestic and foreign debt securities categorized as level 1 in the fair value hierarchy include debt securities held in mutual funds and ETFs. Domestic debt securities categorized as level 2 include corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, U.S. Treasuries and high-yield securities. Foreign debt securities categorized as level 2 include foreign government or government related securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and high-yield securities with a country of origin concentration outside the U.S.

Seaboard has a long-term investment in a BDC that primarily lends to and invests in debt securities of privately held companies. This long-term investment is valued at net asset value (“NAV”), adjusted for a liquidity discount of $1 million, resulting in level 3 classification. The change in value ~~for the first quarter of~~during 2022 was related to capital market activity and is recorded in other investment income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by comparing interest rates for debt with similar terms and maturities. As Seaboard’s long-term debt is mostly variable-rate, its carrying amount approximates fair value. If Seaboard’s long-term debt was measured at fair value on its condensed consolidated balance sheets, it would have been classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 4 for a discussion of Seaboard’s long-term debt.

Seaboard’s contingent consideration, classified in other non-current liabilities, is related to a 2018 acquisition. The fair value is dependent on the probability of the acquiree achieving certain financial performance targets using earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as a metric. The contingent consideration ranges between 0 and $48 million payable between five and eight years following the closing, with timing at the discretion of the sellers. The fair value is classified as a level 3 since the calculation is dependent upon projected company specific inputs using a Monte Carlo simulation. Seaboard remeasures the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability until settled, with adjustments included in net earnings (loss). The change in value during 2022 was related to ~~updated interest rates and foreign currency rates.~~higher projected EBITDA at the measurement date.

Seaboard’s operations are exposed to market risks from changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. Seaboard uses various commodity derivative futures and options to manage its risk of price fluctuations for raw materials and other inventories, finished product sales and firm sales commitments. Also, Seaboard enters into foreign currency exchange agreements to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. From time to time, Seaboard enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage the interest rate risk with respect to certain variable rate long-term debt and enters into equity futures contracts to manage the equity price risk with respect to certain short-term investments. While management believes its derivatives are primarily economic hedges, Seaboard does not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for these types of transactions as hedges for accounting purposes. These derivative contracts are recorded at fair value, with any changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As the derivative contracts are not accounted for as hedges, fluctuations in the related prices or rates could have a material impact on earnings in any given reporting period. The nature of Seaboard’s market risk exposure has not materially changed ~~materially~~ since December 31, 2021.

Seaboard had the following aggregated outstanding notional amounts related to derivative financial instruments:



		April 2,	December 31,		July 2,	December 31,

Heating oil	Gallons	14	15	Gallons	4	15
Foreign currencies	U.S. dollar	201	95	U.S. dollar	158	95

Credit risks associated with these derivative contracts are not significant as Seaboard minimizes counterparty exposure by dealing with credit-worthy counterparties and uses margin accounts for some contracts. ~~At April~~As of July 2, 2022, the maximum amount of credit risk, had the counterparties failed to perform according to the terms of the contract, was $4$5 million.

The following table provides the fair value of each type of derivative held and where each derivative is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Seaboard’s commodity derivative assets and liabilities are presented ~~net~~ in the condensed consolidated balance sheets on a net basis, including netting the derivatives with the related margin accounts. As of ~~April~~July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the

commodity derivatives had a margin account balance of ~~$72~~$63 million and $28 million, respectively, resulting in a net other current asset in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of ~~$39~~$49 million and $29 million, respectively.

The following table provides the amount of gain or (loss) ~~recognized in income~~ for each type of derivative and where it was recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income:

During the third quarter of 2021, all of Seaboard’s interest rate swap agreements were terminated. Seaboard paid fixed-rate interest payments at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.26% and received variable-rate interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR from the counterparty without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts of $400 million.

(a)

This reclassification adjustment primarily represents the amortization of actuarial losses (gains) that were included in net periodic pension cost.

(b)

This reclassification adjustment primarily reflects the recognition of currency translation ~~adjustments~~adjustment upon the disposition of a CT&M business in Brazil whose functional currency was the Brazilian real. Upon management’s commitment to a plan to dispose, substantially all of this adjustment was previously recognized as an impairment in cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, cash proceeds of $4 million, net of cash sold, were received, and accounts receivable of $3 million were recognized for working capital adjustments and other pending matters.

Note 8 – Segment Information

Seaboard has 6 reportable segments: Pork, CT&M, Marine, Sugar and Alcohol, Power and Turkey, each offering a specific product or service. For details on the respective products or services of each segment, see Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in Seaboard’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2021.

On January 1, 2022, Seaboard’s Pork segment sold a 50% interest in Seaboard de Mexico USA LLC, its ham-boning operations in Mexico, to Triumph Foods, LLC, a partner in the Pork segment’s other joint ventures, for cash proceeds of approximately $9 million, net of cash sold. As a result of this transaction, the subsidiary was deconsolidated and Seaboard’s Pork segment recognized a $6 million gain on sale of a controlling interest in a subsidiary, classified in Miscellaneous, net. Seaboard’s Pork segment retained a 50% non-controlling interest in Seaboard de Mexico USA LLC, valued at $12 million, that is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

During the second quarter of 2022, Seaboard’s CT&M segment sold a 20% interest in a protein and commodity trading company to the majority owner for cash proceeds of $12 million. After this transaction, Seaboard retains a 20% interest.

The following tables present Seaboard’s operating income (loss) and income (loss) from affiliates by segment. Operating income (loss) for segment reporting is prepared on the same basis as that used for consolidated operating income. Operating income (loss), along with income or loss from affiliates for the Pork, CT&M and Turkey segments, is used as the measure ~~of evaluating~~to evaluate segment performance because management does not consider interest, other investment income (loss) and income tax benefit (expense) on a segment basis. Administrative services provided by the corporate office are allocated to the individual segments and represent corporate services rendered to and costs incurred for each specific segment, with no allocation to individual segments of general corporate management oversight costs.

Corporate assets primarily include cash and short-term investments, other current assets related to deferred compensation plans, long-term investments and other miscellaneous items. Corporate operating results represent certain operating costs not specifically allocated to individual segments and include costs related to Seaboard’s deferred compensation plans, which are offset by the effect of the mark-to-market adjustments on these investments recorded in other investment income (loss), net.

The Turkey segment, accounted for using the equity method, represents Seaboard’s investment in Butterball, LLC (“Butterball”). As of ~~April~~July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Butterball had total assets of $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. Butterball’s summarized income statement information was as follows:



		Three Months Ended			Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
		April 2,		April 3,	July 2,		July 3,		July 2,		July 3,
(Millions of dollars)		2022		2021	2022		2021		2022		2021

Net income (loss)	$	30	$	(11)
Net earnings (loss)					$	21	$	(7)	$	51	$	(18)

Since 2010, Seaboard has held warrants, which upon exercise for a nominal price, enable Seaboard to acquire an additional 5% equity interest in Butterball. The warrants qualified for equity treatment under accounting standards and were classified as investments in and advances to affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets. Seaboard could exercise

these warrants at any time prior to December 31, 2025, when the warrants would have expired. Butterball had the right to repurchase the warrants for fair market value. The warrant agreement essentially provided Seaboard with a 52.5% economic interest, as these warrants were in substance an additional equity interest. Therefore, Seaboard has historically recorded 52.5% of Butterball’s earnings as income (loss) from affiliates in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. On April 19, 2022, Seaboard exercised these warrants for nominal consideration to acquire the additional 5% ~~percent~~ of the issued and outstanding stock units in Butterball, resulting in no impact to the financial statements. All significant corporate governance matters upon exercise are still to be shared equally between Seaboard and its partner in Butterball. Seaboard did not acquire any new consequential rights upon exercise of the warrants.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management Discussion and Analysis is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, Seaboard's ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes ~~found above.~~included in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and within Seaboard’s annual report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2021. Certain statements in this report contain forward-looking statements. See the section below entitled "Forward-looking Statements" for more information on these forward-looking statements, including a discussion of the most significant factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management believes Seaboard’s combination of ~~liquidity,~~ internally generated cash, liquidity, capital resources and borrowing capabilities are adequate for its existing operations and any currently known potential plans for expansion in both the short-term and long-term. ~~Management intends~~It is management’s intent to continue seeking expansion opportunities ~~for expansion~~ in the industries in which Seaboard operates, ~~utilizing~~and to utilize existing liquidity, available borrowing capacity and other financing ~~alternatives.~~alternatives for such opportunities. The terms and availability of such financing may be impacted by economic and financial market conditions, as well as Seaboard’s financial condition and results of operations at the time Seaboard seeks such financing, and there can be no assurances that Seaboard will be able to obtain such financing on terms that will be acceptable or advantageous.

Liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and availability under line of credit facilities. As of ~~April~~July 2, 2022, Seaboard had cash and short-term investments of nearly ~~$1.4~~$1.2 billion and additional total net working capital of ~~$1.0~~$1.2 billion. The following table presents a summary of Seaboard’s available borrowing capacity under lines of credit.



	Total amount		Total amount
(Millions of dollars)	available		available
Short-term uncommitted and committed lines	$	1,072	$	1,101
Amounts drawn against lines		(531)		(554)
Available borrowing capacity as of April 2, 2022	$	541
Available borrowing capacity as of July 2, 2022			$	547

As of ~~April~~July 2, 2022, ~~$91~~$88 million of the ~~$1.4~~$1.2 billion of cash and short-term investments were held by Seaboard’s foreign subsidiaries. Historically, Seaboard has considered substantially all foreign profits as being permanently invested in its foreign operations, including all cash and short-term investments held by foreign subsidiaries. Seaboard intends to continue permanently reinvesting these funds outside the United States (“U.S.”) as current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund Seaboard’s U.S. operations. For any planned repatriation to the U.S., Seaboard would record applicable deferred taxes for state or foreign withholding taxes.

Cash Flows

Cash and short-term investments as of ~~April~~July 2, 2022 decreased ~~$102~~$295 million ~~to $1.4 billion~~ from December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily ~~the result of the~~due to liquidation of short-term investments for working capital and capital expenditure needs and the valuation of short-term investments due to the volatility in the capital markets. Cash from operating activities increased ~~$256~~$185 million for the ~~three-month period of~~six months ended July 2, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to higher cash earnings. Timing of cash flows on inventory purchases nearly offset the timing of ~~inventory purchases.~~collections on receivables.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2022, Seaboard invested ~~$161~~$273 million in property, plant and equipment, of which ~~$67~~$145 million was invested in the Pork segment for biogas recovery projects and other investments, and ~~$86~~$109 million was invested in the Marine segment to purchase two used ~~vessels.~~ vessels and other investments. See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of short- and long-term investments.

For the remainder of 2022, management has budgeted capital expenditures totaling approximately ~~$595~~$435 million. ~~The~~Planned expenditures in the Pork segment ~~planned expenditures~~ are primarily for biogas recovery projects, normal replacement of breeding herd and other investments. At certain hog farms, the Pork segment is constructing ~~and covering~~ lagoons and ~~constructing~~ biogas upgrade facilities to capture methane and inject renewable gas to the local pipeline infrastructure. ~~The~~Planned expenditures for the Marine segment ~~planned expenditures~~ include installment payments on three vessels under construction

with completion expected in 2024. Management anticipates paying for these capital expenditures from a combination of available cash, the use of available short-term investments and Seaboard’s available borrowing capacity.

Seaboard’s line of credit balances are used to fund working capital and ~~investments~~investment in capital expenditures, as needed. ~~The~~Seaboard’s primary debt outstanding is a Term Loan due in 2028 with a balance of ~~$676~~$674 million as of ~~April~~July 2, 2022. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of lines of credit and long-term debt.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the ~~three-month period~~three and six month periods of 2022 increased ~~$650~~$543 million ~~over~~and $1.2 billion, respectively, compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2021. The increase for the three and six month periods primarily reflected higher sales prices and volumes of certain commodities in the CT&M segment, higher freight rates in the Marine segment, and ~~higher biodiesel prices~~the commencement of operations of a second barge in the ~~Pork~~Power segment.

Operating income increased ~~$54~~$27 million and $81 million for the ~~three-month period~~three and six month periods of 2022, respectively, compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2021. The increase for the three and six month periods primarily reflected higher voyage revenue in the Marine segment, partially offset by ~~derivative commodity contract losses and~~ lower margins on pork product sales in the Pork ~~segment and derivative commodity contract losses in the CT&M~~ segment.

Net sales for the CT&M segment increased ~~$419~~$334 million and $753 million for the ~~three-month period~~three and six month periods of 2022, respectively, compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2021. The increase for the three month period primarily reflected higher sales prices, and to a lesser extent, higher volumes of certain commodities to third-party customers, offset by lower volumes to affiliates. The increase for the six month period primarily reflected higher sales prices and volumes of certain commodities to third-party customers, and to a lesser extent, higher prices to affiliates, partially offset by lower volumes to affiliates.

The increase for the six month period primarily reflected higher margins on certain commodities, partially offset by derivative contract losses related to mark-to-market ~~adjustments, partially offset by higher margins on certain products.~~adjustments. Due to worldwide commodity price fluctuations, the uncertain political and economic conditions in the countries in which this segment operates and the volatility in the commodity markets, management is unable to predict sales and operating results for this segment for future periods. However, management anticipates positive operating income for this segment for the remainder of 2022, excluding the effects of marking to market derivative contracts.

Had Seaboard not applied mark-to-market accounting to its derivative instruments, operating income for this segment would have been higher by ~~$18~~$9 million and ~~$11~~$27 million for the ~~three-month period~~three and six month periods of 2022, respectively, and higher by $10 million and $21 million for the three and six month periods of 2021, respectively. While management believes its commodity futures, options and foreign exchange contracts are primarily economic hedges of its firm purchase and sales contracts and anticipated sales contracts, Seaboard does not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for these transactions as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, while the changes in value of the derivative instruments were marked to market, the changes in value of the firm purchase or sales contracts were not. As ~~products~~commodities are delivered to customers, these existing mark-to-market adjustments should be primarily offset by realized margins or losses as revenue is recognized over time, and these mark-to-market adjustments could reverse in 2022. Management believes eliminating these mark-to-market adjustments provides a more reasonable presentation to compare and evaluate period-to-period financial results for this segment.

Net sales for the Power segment increased $5$36 million and $41 million for the ~~three-month period~~three and six month periods of 2022, respectively, compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2021. The increase for the three and six month periods primarily reflected more power generation from the operation of both power barges, EDM II and EDM III, and higher spot market rates as a result of higher fuel prices. During the second quarter of 2022, EDM III, the new barge, was placed in service with capacity to generate 148 megawatts of electricity.

Operating ~~loss~~income for the Power segment increased $3$11 million and $8 million for the ~~three-month period~~three and six month periods of 2022, respectively, compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2021. The increase ~~was~~for the three and six month periods primarily ~~due to~~reflected higher revenues, partially offset by higher operational costs related to increased ~~fuel~~consumption and ~~maintenance costs.

The Turkey segment, accounted for using the equity method, represents Seaboard’s investment in Butterball, LLC. The increase in income from affiliates for the ~~three-month period~~three and six month periods of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily the result of higher selling prices, ~~with more value-added products,~~ partially offset by lower volumes of turkey products sold and higher feed, plant production and transportation costs. Also, the income from affiliates for the first quarter of 2022 includes Seaboard’s portion of a gain on the sale of a business. Management is unable to predict market prices for turkey products or the cost of feed for future ~~periods. Based on these conditions,~~periods; however, management ~~cannot predict if~~anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2022.

~~Interest Expense~~Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

~~Interest expense~~Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $8$1 million and $5 million for the ~~three-month period~~three and six month periods of 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The increase for the three and six month periods was primarily the result of higher personnel costs related to bonus accruals and wages associated with improved financial performance and higher consulting costs, partially offset by lower pension settlements and costs associated with Seaboard’s deferred compensation program. The deferred compensation program costs are offset by the effect of the mark-to-market on investments recorded in other investment income (loss).

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $6 million and $14 million for the three and six month periods of 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The increase for the three month period ~~in 2021~~was primarily related to higher interest rates on more outstanding debt. The increase for the six month period was primarily related to mark-to-market gains on interest rate swap agreements in the prior ~~year.~~year and higher interest rates on more outstanding debt. There were no interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of ~~April~~July 2, 2022. ~~During the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, Seaboard received its annual patronage dividend on the Term Loan due 2028.~~

Other Investment Income (Loss), Net

Other investment income, net decreased ~~$136~~$208 million and $344 million for the ~~three-month period~~three and six month periods of 2022, respectively, compared to the same ~~period~~periods in ~~2021~~2021. The decreases were primarily due to lesser amounts of realized gains and mark-to-market fluctuations on ~~short-term~~ investments and ~~less realized gains.~~a $46 million charge recorded during the second quarter of 2022

related to a long-term solar energy investment. The charge on this long-term investment is offset with the benefit of the investment tax credits recorded in income tax benefit (expense).

Foreign Currency Gains (Losses), Net

Foreign currency gains, net ~~decreased $9~~increased $19 million and $10 million for the ~~three-month period~~three and six month periods of 2022, respectively, compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2021 primarily due to fluctuations in the South African rand ~~among~~and fluctuations of other currency exchange rates in several foreign countries.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

The effective tax rate for the ~~three-month period~~three and six month periods of 2022 ~~was higher than~~decreased compared to the ~~three-month period of~~same respective periods in 2021 primarily due to ~~the decreased amount of~~an increase in federal investment tax credits available for the ~~three-month~~six-month period of 2022. See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of these credits.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Seaboard is exposed to various types of market risks in its day-to-day operations. Primary market risk exposures result from changing commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices.

The nature of Seaboard’s market risk exposure related to these items has not changed materially since December 31, 2021. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further ~~discussion.~~

discussion of market risk exposure.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures — Seaboard’s management evaluated, under the direction of the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, the effectiveness of Seaboard’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of ~~April~~July 2, 2022. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, Seaboard’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers

concluded that Seaboard’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports it files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. It should be noted that any system of disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Due to these and other inherent limitations of any such system, there can be no assurance that any design will always succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — There have been no changes in Seaboard’s internal control over financial reporting required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended ~~April~~July 2, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Seaboard’s internal control over financial reporting.
