u Overview
Alberto Weisser, Bunge’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “In 2011 Bunge produced strong results in many parts of our business, but faced significant headwinds in others. On a combined basis, our agribusiness, edible oils and milling segments generated record full-year results of over $1.1 billion. However, reduced sugarcane production yields in Brazil due to back-to-back years of poor weather had a material impact on volumes in our sugar & bioenergy segment.
“2012 will present some challenges, especially early in the year. Despite this, we expect to generate good results for the full year. We see positive signs in the industry and have confidence in our business. The USDA forecasts global protein meal and vegetable oil demand to both grow at 4% this year. Production and trade of agricultural commodities are expected to increase. We reached our sugarcane planting target in 2011, which should enable us to produce significantly more sugar and ethanol and run our mills closer to capacity. And our global asset network, strong market positions and excellent team should enable us to benefit from opportunities as they arise during the year.”
u Fourth Quarter Results
Agribusiness
Higher oilseed processing results in Asia, Europe and South America were offset by weaker results in the U.S. Grain merchandising results were lower, compared to an extraordinarily strong period last year. Increased volume in the quarter was primarily driven by higher grain merchandising out of the Black Sea region, the addition of new grain facilities in the U.S., increased oilseed processing in Brazil and two new oilseed processing facilities in Asia which started up earlier in the year.
Sugar & Bioenergy
Improved performance in the quarter was primarily due to higher prices and volumes in sugarcane milling. Additionally, 2010 milling results were impacted by challenges related to the start-up of two of our mills. Merchandising results were slightly down in the quarter due to lower margins. While segment results improved from last year, performance was significantly below the potential of the business due to the impact of lower sugarcane yields from the lingering effect of poor weather in Brazil, which reduced the production of sugar and ethanol.
Edible Oil Products
Results in the quarter were flat with last year. The segment continued to perform well with strong results in Brazil and significantly improved results in Europe when compared to the previous two quarters.
Milling Products
Higher results in the quarter were mainly due to higher margins and volumes in corn milling, as well as the contribution of our U.S. rice milling business, which we acquired in December 2010. Fourth quarter 2010 results included a $9 million impairment charge related to a long-term supply contract that accompanied an acquisition of a wheat mill.
Fertilizer
Results in the quarter were slightly lower than last year primarily due to a more challenging margin environment.
Financial Costs
Interest expense increased in the quarter primarily due to higher average interest rates on debt.
Cash Flow
Cash generated in the year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $2.6 billion compared to cash used by operations of approximately $2.4 billion in the same period last year. The $5.0 billion year-over-year improvement primarily reflects lower commodity prices as well as higher earnings, excluding notable items. Also impacting cash flow in 2010 were payments of withholding taxes and transaction closing costs totaling $424 million related to the sale of the fertilizer nutrients business.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately 5% compared to 23% last year. The lower tax rate reflects earnings mix and the impact of the gain on the sale of our fertilizer nutrients assets in 2010.
u Outlook
Drew Burke, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We expect to produce good results in 2012, but recognize that the year will be challenging. Farm economics have been strong, and farmers around the world have been responding with increases in planting. We recently saw this in South America and expect a similar response in the Northern Hemisphere later this year. Large crops, increased trade and the full-year contribution of our new export terminals should provide good volume growth for our global merchandising operation.
“With respect to oilseed processing, sunseed in Europe and canola in Canada should continue to perform well due to the large crops from this past harvest, tight supply of European rapeseed and growing demand for vegetable oil. European rapeseed and U.S. soybean processing will likely remain difficult until harvests later this year when raw material flows more freely and facilities run at higher utilizations. Margins in South America should improve with the coming harvest. Demand for soymeal and soyoil should remain strong in China; however, volatility in margins will likely continue due to industry overcapacity.
“In sugar & bioenergy, we expect to see a significant improvement in results. We plan to mill 17 to 19 million metric tons of sugarcane for the full year, which is less than our 21 million metric tons of industrial capacity, but represents a substantial increase over 2011 levels of approximately 14 million metric tons. Our results in this segment will be weighted toward the second half of the year due to the seasonality of the Brazilian sugarcane harvest.
“Our food & ingredients business has been a steady contributor to earnings over the past three years, and we expect it to continue to be in 2012.
“Current conditions are challenging in fertilizer, but good farm economics should be supportive of demand over the course of the year. We expect a significant improvement in results that will be second half weighted, driven by higher volume and additional cost reductions.
“Additionally, we expect the following for 2012: depreciation, depletion and amortization of approximately $575 million; capital expenditures of approximately $1.2 billion, approximately 25% of which will be invested in maintenance, safety and environmental projects; and a full year tax rate of 8 to 10%.”

u Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
This earnings release contains certain “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Bunge has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures below. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Total segment EBIT
Total segment EBIT is consolidated net income attributable to Bunge excluding interest income, interest expense and income tax attributable to each segment.
Total segment EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace net income attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Total segment earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) is an operating performance measure used by Bunge’s management to evaluate its segments’ operating activities. Bunge’s management believes total segment EBIT is a useful measure of its segments’ operating profitability, since the measure allows for an evaluation of the performance of its segments without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. In addition, EBIT is a financial measure that is widely used by analysts and investors in Bunge’s industries. Total segment EBIT is not a measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP.
Below is a reconciliation of total segment EBIT to net income attributable to Bunge:

Earnings per common share-diluted (excluding certain gains & charges)
Below is a reconciliation to earnings per common share-diluted (excluding certain gains and charges) to earnings per common share-diluted. Earnings per common share-diluted (excluding certain gains and charges) is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not a measure of earnings per common share—diluted, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. It should not be considered as an alternative to earnings per share-diluted or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP.

u Notes
(1) In January 2010, Bunge entered into a definitive agreement (as amended, the Agreement) with Vale S.A., a Brazil-based global mining company (Vale), pursuant to which Vale acquired Bunge’s fertilizer nutrients assets in Brazil, including its interest in Fertilizantes Fosfatados S.A. (Fosfertil) on May 27, 2010 for cash proceeds of $3,914 million. Bunge recognized a $2,440 million gain, net of transaction costs ($1,901 million gain, net of tax) in its fertilizer segment. Of the $539 million of income tax expense on the gain, $280 million was paid during the year ended December 31, 2010 and approximately $259 million was offset by deferred tax assets and other tax credits and therefore did not result in cash tax payments. Approximately $57 million related to the post-closing working capital adjustment was received in the third quarter of 2010. Approximately $144 million of transaction costs and $280 million of withholding taxes are included as a component of cash used for operating activities and gross proceeds of $3,914 million as a component of cash provided by investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010.
(2) In July 2010, Bunge repaid certain term loans and subsidiary long-term debt with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Brazilian fertilizer nutrients assets. These transactions resulted in a loss on extinguishment of the debt totaling approximately $90 million related to make-whole payments.
(3) In the second quarter of 2010, Bunge recorded a pretax charge of $37 million in cost of goods sold related to an inventory valuation adjustment due to changes in its fertilizer segment.
(4) In the fourth quarter of 2010, Bunge recorded a pretax impairment charge of $9 million in cost of goods sold related to a long-term supply contract acquired in connection with a wheat mill acquisition.
In the third quarter of 2010, Bunge recorded pretax impairment charges of $49 million, which consisted of $42 million related to the write-down of a European oilseed processing and refining facility, $5 million in connection with the closure of an edible oils facility in Europe as part of our plan to improve our European footprint and $2 million related to the write-down of administrative offices in Brazil. Of these total charges of $49 million, $22 million was recorded in the agribusiness segment and $27 million was recorded in the edible oil products segment. Pretax impairment charges recorded in cost of goods sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 primarily consisted of $9 million in the agribusiness segment, related to the closure of an older, less efficient oilseed processing facility in the U.S. and $2 million in the milling products segment, related to the closure of a co-located corn oil extraction line.
In the second quarter of 2010, Bunge recorded pretax restructuring charges in selling, general and administrative expenses related to consolidation of Brazilian operations ($4 million in the agribusiness segment, $3 million in the sugar and bioenergy segment, $2 million in the edible oil products segment and $3 million in the milling products segment). Pretax restructuring and related charges in cost of goods sold in the first quarter related to termination benefit costs in the U.S. and Brazil ($5 million in the agribusiness segment, $1 million in the sugar and bioenergy segment, $4 million in the fertilizer segment, and $1 million in the milling segment).
(5) In the first quarter of 2010, Bunge acquired a 100% ownership interest in five sugar mills in Brazil and recorded pretax acquisition costs of $11 million in selling, general and administrative expenses.
(6) In the third quarter of 2011, Bunge sold an idled facility in Canada for approximately $7 million in cash, which resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $6 million in the edible oil products segment recorded in other income (expense)-net.
In the third quarter of 2010, Bunge sold an idled wheat milling facility in Brazil for $8 million in cash, which resulted in a pretax gain of $6 million recorded in other income (expense)-net.
(7) In the second quarter of 2011, Bunge recorded a pretax gain of $37 million in the agribusiness segment in equity in earnings of affiliates related to the sale of its interest in a European oilseed processing facility joint venture.
(8) Includes interest expense on readily marketable inventories of $22 million and $34 million for quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $106 million and $90 million for years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
(9) Weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted for the fourth quarter and year 2011 exclude the dilutive effect of 4 million of outstanding stock options and contingently issuable restricted stock units because the effect of conversion would not have been dilutive. Weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 include approximately 7.5 million weighted average common shares that would be issuable upon conversion of Bunge’s convertible preference shares.
Weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted for the fourth quarter and year 2010 exclude the dilutive effect of 2 million and 3 million, respectively, of outstanding stock options and contingently issuable restricted stock units because the effect of conversion would not have been dilutive. Weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted for the fourth quarter and year 2010 include the dilutive effect of 12.3 million and 14.1 million weighted average common shares, respectively, that would be issuable upon conversion of Bunge’s convertible preference shares. On December 1, 2010, Bunge’s mandatory convertible preference shares were converted into approximately 8.4 million common shares.
(10) See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures.
(11) Includes readily marketable inventories of $4,076 million and $4,851 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
