Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ||||||||
Nature of Business | ||||||||
The Company is principally engaged in procuring, transporting, storing, processing, and merchandising agricultural commodities and products. | ||||||||
Change in Fiscal Year | ||||||||
On May 3, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that, in accordance with its Bylaws and upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Company’s fiscal year shall begin on January 1 and end on December 31 of each year, starting on January 1, 2013. The required transition period of July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 is included in this Form 10-K report. Amounts included in this report for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the six months ended December 31, 2011 are unaudited. | ||||||||
For purposes of preparing this Form 10-K, the Company's management believes the calendar 2012 is the most directly comparable period to calendar year 2013 results. The calendar year ended December 31, 2012 data is unaudited and has been compiled from the Company's quarterly reports for the quarters' ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2012. | ||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | ||||||||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates all entities, including variable interest entities (VIEs), in which it has a controlling financial interest. For VIEs, the Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary as defined under the applicable accounting standard. 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. | ||||||||
The Company consolidates Alfred C. Toepfer International (Toepfer), in which the Company has an 80% interest, for which the minority interest was subject to a mandatorily redeemable put option. As a result of the put option, the associated minority interest was reported in other long-term liabilities. On December 31, 2011, the put option expired and the Company reclassified $174 million of minority interest from other long-term liabilities to noncontrolling interests in shareholders’ equity at that date. During 2013, Toepfer became subject to a new mandatorily redeemable put option; and as a result, the Company reclassified $180 million of noncontrolling interest in shareholders' equity to long-term liabilities. | ||||||||
Use of Estimates | ||||||||
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||||||||
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company updated its estimates for service lives of certain of its machinery and equipment assets in order to better match the Company’s depreciation expense with the periods these assets are expected to generate revenue based on planned and historical service periods. The Company accounted for this service life update as a change in accounting estimate as of October 1, 2010 in accordance with the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, thereby impacting the quarter in which the change occurred and future quarters. The effect of this change on after-tax earnings and diluted earnings per share was an increase of $83 million and $0.13, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2011. | ||||||||
Reclassifications | ||||||||
Other (income) expense - net in the consolidated statements of earnings for the years ended December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 has been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation where impairment losses on securities are now shown with asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs. There was no change in earnings before income taxes as a result of this reclassification. This change is also reflected in Notes 13 and 19. | ||||||||
Intangible assets, previously included in other assets, have been reclassified to goodwill and other intangible assets. There was no change in total investments and other assets as a result of this reclassification. | ||||||||
Accrued expenses and other payables in the prior year's consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation where payables to brokerage customers are now shown separately from accrued expenses and other payables. There was no change in total current liabilities as a result of this reclassification. This change is also reflected in Note 7 and the prior years' consolidated statements of cash flows with no impact to total cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, or financing activities. | ||||||||
Certain items in the prior year's consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation with no impact to total cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, or financing activities. | ||||||||
Certain items in Notes 3, 4, 6, and 7 in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. There was no change in other current assets and accrued expenses and other payables in the prior year's consolidated balance sheet as a result of the reclassifications. | ||||||||
Cash Equivalents | ||||||||
The Company considers all non-segregated, highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. | ||||||||
Segregated Cash and Investments | ||||||||
The Company segregates certain cash and investment balances in accordance with regulatory requirements, commodity exchange requirements, insurance arrangements, and lending arrangements. These segregated balances represent deposits received from customers of the Company’s registered futures commission merchant, securities pledged to commodity exchange clearinghouses, and cash and securities pledged as security under certain insurance or lending arrangements. Segregated cash and investments primarily consist of cash, United States government securities, and money-market funds. | ||||||||
Receivables | ||||||||
The Company records accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts of $81 million and $87 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances. The Company estimates this allowance based on its history of write-offs, level of past-due accounts, and its relationships with, and the economic status of, its customers. Portions of the allowance for uncollectible accounts are recorded in trade receivables, other current assets, and other assets. | ||||||||
Credit risk on receivables is minimized as a result of the large and diversified nature of the Company’s worldwide customer base. The Company manages its exposure to counter-party credit risk through credit analysis and approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures. Collateral is generally not required for the Company’s receivables. | ||||||||
Accounts receivable due from unconsolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $73 million and $175 million, respectively. | ||||||||
Inventories | ||||||||
Inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, which include inventories acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value. In addition, the Company values certain inventories using the lower of cost, determined by either the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or last-in, first-out (LIFO) methods, or market. | ||||||||
The following table sets forth the Company's inventories as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. | ||||||||

Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||
The Company determines fair value based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to measure the majority of its assets and liabilities carried at fair value. Three levels are established within the fair value hierarchy that may be used to report fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable inputs, including Level 1 prices that have been adjusted; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges; and other inputs that are observable or can be substantially corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. In evaluating the significance of fair value inputs, the Company generally classifies assets or liabilities as Level 3 when their fair value is determined using unobservable inputs that individually or when aggregated with other unobservable inputs, represent more than 10% of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Judgment is required in evaluating both quantitative and qualitative factors in the determination of significance for purposes of fair value level classification. Level 3 amounts can include assets and liabilities whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as assets and liabilities for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. | ||||||||
Based on historical experience with the Company’s suppliers and customers, the Company’s own credit risk and knowledge of current market conditions, the Company does not view nonperformance risk to be a significant input to fair value for the majority of its forward commodity purchase and sale contracts. However, in certain cases, if the Company believes the nonperformance risk to be a significant input, the Company records estimated fair value adjustments, and classifies the contract in Level 3. | ||||||||
In many cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level of input that is a significant component of the fair value measurement determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the classification of fair value assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels. | ||||||||
The Company’s policy regarding the timing of transfers between levels, including both transfers into and transfers out of Level 3, is to measure and record the transfers at the end of the reporting period. | ||||||||
Derivatives | ||||||||
The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated balance sheet. Unrealized gains are reported as other current assets and unrealized losses are reported as accrued expenses and other payables. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and on the type of hedging relationship. The majority of the Company’s derivatives have not been designated as hedging instruments; and as such, changes in fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings immediately. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company designates the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. | ||||||||
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item affected by the hedged transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument that is in excess of the cumulative change in the cash flows of the hedged item, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion), 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. | ||||||||
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and changes in the fair value of the underlying are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings during the current period. | ||||||||
Marketable Securities | ||||||||
The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, reported as a component of other comprehensive income. The Company monitors its investments for impairment periodically, and recognizes an impairment charge when the decline in fair value of an investment is judged to be other-than-temporary. The Company uses the specific identification method when securities are sold or reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. The Company considers marketable securities maturing in less than one year as short-term. All other marketable securities are classified as long-term. | ||||||||
Property, Plant, and Equipment | ||||||||
Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company generally uses the straight-line method in computing depreciation for financial reporting purposes and generally uses accelerated methods for income tax purposes. The annual provisions for depreciation have been computed principally in accordance with the following ranges of asset lives: buildings - 10 to 40 years; machinery and equipment - 3 to 30 years. The Company capitalized interest on major construction projects in progress of $16 million, $24 million, $12 million, $9 million, $21 million, and $7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | ||||||||
Income Taxes | ||||||||
The Company accounts for its income tax positions in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. The liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements using statutory rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recorded in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date under the law. Applicable accounting standards prescribe a minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes in its consolidated financial statements tax positions determined more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. | ||||||||
The Company classifies interest on income tax-related balances as interest expense and classifies tax-related penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses. | ||||||||
Goodwill and other intangible assets | ||||||||
Goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. Prior to the fiscal year end change transition period, the Company’s accounting policy was to evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment on April 1 of each fiscal year or whenever there were indicators that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Effective in the transition period ended December 31, 2012, the Company voluntarily changed its accounting policy to begin conducting the annual goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets impairment tests on October 1. The change to the annual goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets impairment testing date is preferable under the circumstances as the new impairment testing date is better aligned with the timing of the Company’s annual strategic, planning, and budgeting process, and the timing is more closely aligned with the Company’s annual financial reporting process as a result of the change in year end. The resulting change in accounting principle related to the annual testing date did not delay, accelerate, or avoid an impairment charge of the Company’s goodwill. As it is impracticable to objectively determine the estimates and assumptions necessary to perform the annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 for periods prior to October 1, 2012, the Company prospectively applied the annual goodwill impairment testing date effective October 1, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment charge for goodwill of $9 million related to the Company's Brazilian sugar milling business. There were no impairment charges recorded for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the six months and year ended December 31, 2012 and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. | ||||||||
Asset Abandonments and Write-Downs | ||||||||
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. Assets are written down to fair value after consideration of the ability to utilize the assets for their intended purpose or to employ the assets in alternative uses or sell the assets to recover the carrying value. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, impairment charges were $84 million, $30 million, $0 million, $337 million, $367 million, and $2 million, respectively (see Note 19 for additional information). | ||||||||
Payables to Brokerage Customers | ||||||||
Payables to brokerage customers represent the total of customer accounts at the Company's futures commission merchant with credit or positive balances. Customer accounts are used primarily in connection with commodity transactions and include gains and losses on open commodity trades as well as securities and other deposits made for margins or other purpose as required by the Company or the exchange-clearing organizations or counterparties. Payables to brokerage customers have a corresponding balance in segregated cash and investments and customer omnibus receivable in other current assets. | ||||||||
Revenues | ||||||||
The Company follows a policy of recognizing sales revenue at the time of delivery of the product and when all of the following have occurred: a sales agreement is in place, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company has sales contracts that allow for pricing to occur after title of the goods has passed to the customer. In these cases, the Company continues to report the goods in inventory until it recognizes the sales revenue once the price has been determined. Freight costs and handling charges related to sales are recorded as a component of cost of products sold. | ||||||||
Net sales to unconsolidated affiliates during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were $6.9 billion, $7.2 billion, $4.0 billion, $4.5 billion, $7.7 billion, and $7.1 billion, respectively. | ||||||||
Stock Compensation | ||||||||
The Company recognizes expense for its stock compensation based on the fair value of the awards that are granted. The Company’s stock compensation plans provide for the granting of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and stock options. The fair values of stock options and performance stock units are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and a lattice valuation model, respectively. These valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Measured compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the related stock compensation award. | ||||||||
Research and Development | ||||||||
Costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred. Such costs incurred, net of expenditures subsequently reimbursed by government grants, were $59 million, $55 million, $28 million, $29 million, $56 million, and $60 million, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | ||||||||
Per Share Data | ||||||||
Basic earnings per common share are determined by dividing net earnings attributable to controlling interests by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, average number of common shares outstanding is increased by common stock options outstanding with exercise prices lower than the average market price of common shares using the treasury share method. | ||||||||
As further described in Note 10, certain potentially dilutive securities (the $1.75 billion Equity Units) were excluded from the diluted average shares calculation because their impact was anti-dilutive, except during the third quarter of fiscal 2011. See Note 11 for the earnings per share calculations. | ||||||||
Adoption of New Accounting Standards | ||||||||
Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted the amended guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, which requires the Company to present, either on the face of the consolidated statement of earnings or in the notes, the effect on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of this amended guidance requires expanded disclosures in the Company's consolidated financial statements but does not impact results (see Note 17). | ||||||||
Effective July 17, 2013, the Company adopted the amended guidance of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which permits the Company to use the Overnight Index Swap as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the U.S. treasury interest rates and the London Interbank Offered Rate. The amended guidance also removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have an impact on current period results and is not expected to have any material impact on the Company's financial results. | ||||||||
Pending Accounting Standards | ||||||||
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the Company to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or if the Company does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability in the financial statements and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The Company does not expect a material impact on its financial results as a result of the adoption of this amended guidance. | ||||||||
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), which requires the Company to transfer currency translation adjustments from other comprehensive income into net income in certain circumstances. The amended guidance aims to resolve diversity in practice as to whether ASC Topic 810, Consolidation or Topic 830 applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity, or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business. The Company will be required to apply the amended guidance prospectively. If the Company disposes all or part of a qualifying foreign entity, it will be required to release the portion of cumulative translation adjustment applicable to the disposed entity. | ||||||||
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 405, Liabilities, which addresses the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, for which the total amount under the arrangement is fixed at the reporting date. The amended guidance aims to resolve diversity in practice among companies that are subject to joint and several liabilities. The Company will be required to apply the amended guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company does not expect a material impact on its financial results as a result of the adoption of this amended guidance. |

Acquisitions | |
The Company’s acquisitions are accounted for as purchases in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, as amended. Tangible assets and liabilities, based on preliminary purchase price allocations for 2013 acquisitions, were adjusted to fair values at acquisition date with the remainder of the purchase price, if any, recorded as goodwill. The identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of these acquisitions were not material. Operating results of these acquisitions are included in the Company’s financial statements from the date of acquisition and are not significant to the Company’s consolidated operating results. | |
Status of Application to Acquire GrainCorp Limited (GrainCorp) | |
As of December 31, 2013, the Company held a 19.8% common equity interest in GrainCorp. In 2013, the Company took steps to acquire the remaining outstanding common shares of GrainCorp. The Company made an all-cash, off-market takeover offer of Australian $12.20 per share that was subject to conditions including regulatory approvals. In November 2013, the Australian Federal Treasurer issued an order prohibiting the Company's proposed acquisition of GrainCorp. As a result, the Company recognized a $155 million other-than-temporary impairment on this investment reflecting the trading market value as of December 31, 2013. The Company continues to classify this investment as a long-term marketable security. | |
Fiscal Year 2013 acquisitions | |
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company acquired four businesses for a total cost of $44 million and recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price related to these acquisitions. | |
The net cash purchase price for the acquisitions of $44 million was preliminarily allocated to working capital, property, plant, and equipment, goodwill, and other long-term assets for $6 million, $29 million, $2 million, and $7 million, respectively. | |
Transition Period 2012 Acquisitions | |
During the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Company made eight acquisitions for a total cost of $26 million in cash and recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price related to these acquisitions. The net cash purchase price for these eight acquisitions of $26 million was preliminarily allocated to working capital, property, plant, and equipment, goodwill, and other long-term assets for $4 million, $24 million, $2 million, and $(4) million, respectively. The finalization of the purchase price allocations related to these acquisitions did not result in material adjustments. | |
Fiscal Year 2012 Acquisitions | |
During fiscal year 2012, the Company made nine acquisitions for a total cost of $241 million in cash and recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price related to these acquisitions. The net cash purchase price for these nine acquisitions of $241 million was allocated to working capital, property, plant, and equipment, goodwill, other long-term assets, and long-term liabilities for $(12) million, $199 million, $51 million, $6 million, and $3 million, respectively. The finalization of the purchase price allocations related to these acquisitions did not result in material adjustments. There was no single material acquisition during the year. | |
Fiscal Year 2011 Acquisitions | |
During fiscal year 2011, the Company made four acquisitions for a total cost of $218 million in cash and recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price related to these acquisitions. The net cash purchase price for these four acquisitions of $218 million plus the acquisition-date fair value of the equity interest the Company previously held in Golden Peanut was allocated to working capital, property, plant, and equipment, goodwill, other long-term assets, and long-term liabilities for $113 million, $235 million, $63 million, $11 million, and $36 million, respectively. The finalization of the purchase price allocations related to these acquisitions did not result in material adjustments. | |
The acquisition of Alimenta (USA), Inc., the Company’s former 50 percent partner in Golden Peanut, was the only significant acquisition during fiscal year 2011. This transaction resulted in the Company obtaining control of the remaining outstanding shares of Golden Peanut, the largest U.S. handler, processor and exporter of peanuts and operator of a facility in Argentina. This business fits well with the Company’s existing U.S. oilseed and export operations in its global oilseed business. A pre-tax gain of $71 million was recognized in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 as a result of revaluing the Company’s previously held investment in Golden Peanut in conjunction with the acquisition of the remaining 50 percent. |

Estimated fair values for inventories carried at market are based on exchange-quoted prices, adjusted for differences in local markets, broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either listed or over-the-counter (OTC) markets. Market valuations for the Company’s inventories are adjusted for location and quality because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts that have standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade. When unobservable inputs have a significant impact 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. | ||||||||||||||||
Derivative contracts include exchange-traded commodity futures and option 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. These differences are generally determined using inputs from broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either the listed or OTC markets. 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 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, and other (income) expense–net. The effective portions of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 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 as Level 1. | ||||||||||||||||
The Company’s marketable securities are comprised of equity investments, U.S. Treasury securities, obligations of U.S. government agencies, and other debt securities. Publicly traded equity investments and U.S. Treasury securities are valued using quoted market prices and are classified in Level 1. U.S. government agency obligations and corporate and municipal debt securities are valued using third-party pricing services and substantially all are classified in Level 2. Unrealized changes in the fair value of available-for-sale marketable securities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) unless a decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary at which point the decline is recorded in earnings. | ||||||||||||||||
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 Company has deferred consideration under its accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) which represents a note receivable from the purchasers under the Program. This amount is reflected in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet (see Notes 6 and 20). The Company carries the deferred consideration at fair value determined by calculating the expected amount of cash to be received. The fair value is principally based on observable inputs (a Level 2 measurement) consisting mainly of the face amount of the receivables adjusted for anticipated credit losses and discounted at the appropriate market rate. Payment of deferred consideration is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred under the program which have historically been insignificant. | ||||||||||||||||
The following tables present a rollforward of the activity of all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended December 31, 2012. | ||||||||||||||||

For all periods presented, the Company had no transfers between Levels 1 and 2. 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 of 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. | ||||||||||||||||
The following table sets forth the weighted average percentage of the unobservable price components included in the Company’s Level 3 valuations as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company’s Level 3 measurements may include Basis only, transportation cost only, or both price components. As an example, for Level 3 inventories with Basis, the unobservable component is a weighted average 21.9% of the total price for assets and 13.2% for liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||

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, the Company considers these price quotes as 100 percent unobservable and, therefore, the fair value of these items is reported in Level 3. |

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 commodity 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 physical purchase or sale contracts, and inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, which include amounts acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at 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 Company recognized in earnings $30 million of pre-tax gains from changes in fair value of interest rate swaps for the year ended June 30, 2011. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
During December 2012, the Company entered into two transactions with investment bank counterparties resulting in an economic interest in GrainCorp shares. The purpose of these transactions was to facilitate the Company’s planned acquisition of GrainCorp, which was rejected by the Australian Federal Treasurer in November 2013. One of the transactions was accounted for as an unfunded derivative instrument. The other transaction was a hybrid financial instrument, as defined by applicable accounting standards, whereby the accounting rules required the Company to account for a funded host instrument and a separate embedded derivative instrument. In December 2012, the Company settled the derivative instruments known as “Total Return Swaps”, and recognized pre-tax gains reported as “Other Contracts” in the tables below. After the settlement of these transactions, the interest in GrainCorp is recorded as a long-term marketable security. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, which include amounts acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value. Changes in the market value of inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, forward cash purchase and sales contracts, exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts are recognized in earnings immediately. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow or Fair Value Hedging Strategies | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has certain derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has certain derivatives designated as fair value hedges. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company uses interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to protect the fair value of fixed-rate debt due to changes in interest rates. The changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and the underlying fixed-rate debt are recorded in other (income) expense - net. The terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the underlying debt resulting in no ineffectiveness. At December 31, 2013, the Company has $9 million in accrued expenses and other payables representing the fair value of the interest rate swaps and a corresponding decrease in the underlying debt for the same amount with no impact to earnings. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
For each of the commodity hedge programs described below, the derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. Assuming normal market conditions, 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/losses arising from the hedge are reclassified from AOCI to either revenues, cost of products sold, interest expense or other (income) expense – net, as applicable. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has $15 million of after-tax losses in AOCI related to gains and losses from commodity cash flow hedge transactions. The Company expects to recognize the $15 million of losses in its consolidated statement of earnings during the next 12 months. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company uses futures or options contracts to fix 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 currently grind approximately 76 million bushels of corn per month. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 15% and 25% of its monthly anticipated grind. At December 31, 2013, the Company has designated hedges representing between 2% to 23% of its anticipated monthly grind of corn for the next 12 months. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company uses futures, options, and swaps to fix the purchase price of the Company’s anticipated natural gas requirements for certain production facilities. The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s forecasted purchases of natural gas. These production facilities use approximately 3.8 million MMbtus of natural gas per month. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 13% and 66% of the quantity of its anticipated monthly natural gas purchases. At December 31, 2013, the Company has designated hedges representing between 17% to 21% of its anticipated monthly natural gas purchases for the next 3 months. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company uses futures, options, and swaps to fix the sales price of certain ethanol sales contracts. The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s sales of ethanol under sales contracts that are indexed to unleaded gasoline prices. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 1 million and 14 million gallons of ethanol per month under this program. At December 31, 2013, the Company has designated hedges representing between 1 million to 12 million gallons of contracted ethanol sales per month over the next 6 months. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges to protect against fluctuations in cash flows due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company may have revenues associated with sales contracts, costs associated with commodity purchase contracts, manufacturing expenses, and equipment purchases denominated in non-functional currencies. To reduce the risk of fluctuations in cash flows due to changes in the exchange rate between functional versus non-functional currencies, the Company will hedge some portion of the qualifying forecasted non-functional currency expenditures. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between $12 million and $18 million of forecasted foreign currency expenditures. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has designated hedges for $12 million of its forecasted foreign currency expenditures. At December 31, 2013, the Company has $0.3 million of after-tax losses in AOCI related to foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments. The Company will recognize the $0.3 million of losses in its consolidated statement of earnings over the life of the hedged transactions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company used treasury lock agreements and interest rate swaps in order to lock in the Company’s interest rate prior to the issuance or remarketing of a long-term debt instrument. Both the treasury-lock agreements and interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of the risk of changes in the future interest payments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The objective of the treasury-lock agreements and interest rate swaps was to protect the Company from changes in the benchmark rate from the date of hedge designation to the date when the debt was actually issued. At December 31, 2013, AOCI included $21 million of after-tax gains related to treasury-lock agreements and interest rate swaps. The Company will recognize $21 million of these after-tax gains in its consolidated statement of earnings over the terms of the hedged items, which range from 10 to 30 years. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hedge ineffectiveness for commodity contracts results when the change in the price of the underlying commodity in a specific cash market differs from the change in the price of the derivative financial instrument used to establish the hedging relationship. As an example, if the change in the price of a corn futures contract is strongly correlated to the change in the cash price paid for corn, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is deferred and recognized at the time the corn grind occurs. If the change in price of the derivative does not strongly correlate to the change in the cash price of corn, in the same example, some portion or all of the derivative gains or losses may be required to be recognized in earnings prior to the corn grind occurring. |

All of the $2 million in unrealized losses at December 31, 2013, arose within the last 12 months and are related to the Company’s investment in one security. The market value of the available-for-sale equity security that has been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months is $5 million. The Company evaluated the near-term prospects of the issuer in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Based on that evaluation and the Company’s ability and intent to hold this investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||

In October 2012, the Company issued $570 million of 4.016% debentures due in 2043 (2012 Debentures) in exchange of its previously issued and outstanding debentures. The Company paid $196 million of debt premium to certain bondholders associated with these exchanges. The discount and debt premium paid to the bondholders is being amortized over the life of the 2012 Debentures using the effective interest method. Discount amortization expense of $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 was included in interest expense related to the 2012 Debentures. | ||||||||
In February 2007, the Company issued $1.15 billion principal amount of convertible senior notes due in 2014 (the Notes) in a private placement. The Notes were issued at par and bear interest at a rate of 0.875% per year, payable semiannually. The Notes are convertible based on an initial conversion rate of 22.8423 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $43.78 per share). The Notes may be converted, subject to adjustment, only under the following circumstances: 1) during any calendar quarter beginning after March 31, 2007, if the closing price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding quarter is more than 140% of the applicable conversion price per share, which is $1,000 divided by the then applicable conversion rate, 2) during the five consecutive business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the note measurement period) in which the average of the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes was equal to or less than 98% of the average of the product of the closing price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate at each date during the note measurement period, 3) if the Company makes specified distributions to its common stockholders or specified corporate transactions occur, or 4) at any time on or after January 15, 2014, through the business day preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, a holder would receive an amount in cash equal to the lesser of 1) $1,000 and 2) the conversion value, as defined. If the conversion value exceeds $1,000, the Company will deliver, at the Company’s election, cash or common stock or a combination of cash and common stock for the conversion value in excess of $1,000. If the Notes are converted in connection with a change in control, as defined, the Company may be required to provide a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate, subject to a stated maximum amount. In addition, in the event of a change in control, the holders may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company recognized the Notes proceeds received in 2007 as long-term debt of $853 million and equity of $297 million. The discount on the long-term debt is being amortized over the life of the Notes using the effective interest method. Discount amortization expense of $49 million, $47 million, $24 million, $22 million, $45 million, and $43 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were included in interest expense related to the Notes. | ||||||||
Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, the Company purchased call options in private transactions at a cost of $300 million. The purchased call options allow the Company to receive shares of its common stock and/or cash from the counterparties equal to the amounts of common stock and/or cash related to the excess of the current market price of the Company’s common stock over the exercise price of the purchased call options. In addition, the Company sold warrants in private transactions to acquire, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, 26.3 million shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $62.56 per share and received proceeds of $170 million. If the average price of the Company’s common stock during a defined period ending on or about the respective settlement dates exceeds the exercise price of the warrants, the warrants will be settled, at the Company’s option, in cash or shares of common stock. The purchased call options and warrants are intended to reduce the potential dilution upon future conversions of the Notes by effectively increasing the initial conversion price to $62.56 per share. The net cost of the purchased call options and warrant transactions of $130 million was recorded as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. The purchased call options expire on the maturity date of the Notes and the warrants expire shortly thereafter. | ||||||||
As of December 31, 2013, none of the conditions permitting conversion of the Notes had been satisfied. As of December 31, 2013, no share amounts related to the conversion of the Notes or exercise of the warrants are included in diluted average shares outstanding. On February 18, 2014, the convertible senior notes were repaid with available funds. | ||||||||
Discount amortization expense net of premium of $54 million, $46 million, $23 million, $26 million, $49 million, and $50 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were included in interest expense related to the Company's long-term debt. | ||||||||
At December 31, 2013, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt exceeded the carrying value by $0.9 billion, as estimated using quoted market prices (a Level 2 measurement under applicable accounting standards). | ||||||||
The aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the five years after December 31, 2013, are $1.2 billion, $19 million, $15 million, $305 million, and $709 million, respectively. | ||||||||
At December 31, 2013, the Company had lines of credit totaling $6.9 billion, of which $6.6 billion was unused. The weighted average interest rates on short-term borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012, were 4.24% and 0.70%, respectively. Of the Company’s total lines of credit, $4.0 billion support a commercial paper borrowing facility, against which there was no commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2013. | ||||||||
The Company’s credit facilities and certain debentures require the Company to comply with specified financial and non-financial covenants including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth as well as limitations related to incurring liens, secured debt, and certain other financing arrangements. The Company is in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2013. | ||||||||
The Company has outstanding standby letters of credit and surety bonds at December 31, 2013 and 2012, totaling $795 million and $911 million, respectively. | ||||||||
The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”). The Program provides the Company with up to $1.1 billion in funding resulting from the sale of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2013, the Company utilized all of its $1.1 billion facility under the Program (see Note 20 for more information on the Program). |

Stock Compensation | ||||||||
The Company’s employee stock compensation plans provide for the granting of options to employees to purchase common stock of the Company pursuant to the Company’s 2002 and 2009 Incentive Compensation Plans. These options are issued at market value on the date of grant, vest incrementally over one to five years, and expire ten years after the date of grant. | ||||||||
The fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes single option pricing model. The volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes single option pricing model is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The volatility of the Company’s stock was calculated based upon the monthly closing price of the Company’s stock for the period immediately prior to the date of grant corresponding to the average expected life of the grant. The average expected life represents the period of time that option grants are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the rate of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of option grants. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes single option pricing model are as follows. | ||||||||

The Company’s 2002 and 2009 Incentive Compensation Plans provide for the granting of restricted stock and restricted stock units (Restricted Stock Awards) at no cost to certain officers and key employees. In addition, the Company’s 2002 and 2009 Incentive Compensation Plans also provide for the granting of performance stock units (PSUs) at no cost to certain officers and key employees. Restricted Stock Awards are made in common stock or stock units with equivalent rights and vest at the end of a three-year restriction period. The awards for PSUs are made in common stock units and vest at the end of a three-year vesting period subject to the attainment of certain future performance criteria. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the six months ended December 31, 2012, and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, 0.9 million, 1.3 million, 1.2 million, and 1.1 million common stock or stock units, respectively, were granted as Restricted Stock Awards and PSUs. At December 31, 2013, there were 19.8 million shares available for future grants pursuant to the 2009 plan. | ||||||||
The fair value of Restricted Stock Awards and PSUs is determined based on the market value of the Company’s shares on the grant date. The weighted-average grant-date fair values of awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2013, the six months ended December 31, 2012, and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $32.96, $26.34, $26.75, and $32.19, respectively. | ||||||||

The Company has historically included amounts received from the U.S. Government in the form of a biodiesel credit as taxable income on its federal and state income tax returns. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Internal Revenue Service released a Chief Counsel Advice stipulating that biodiesel credits should not be included in taxable income. Based upon the Chief Counsel Advice, the Company has changed its position related to these credits and excluded them from taxable income for years 2011 through the current year. Of the total tax benefit recorded of $107 million, $55 million relates to years prior to 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company has $329 million and $344 million of tax assets related to net operating loss carry-forwards of certain international subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, approximately $306 million of these assets have no expiration date, and the remaining $23 million expire at various times through fiscal 2030. The annual usage of certain of these assets is limited to a percentage of taxable income of the respective foreign subsidiary for the year. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $196 million and $102 million against these tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, due to the uncertainty of their realization. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets of a German subsidiary in the amount of $103 million ($82 million, equal to $0.12 per share, when adjusted for the income attributable to the minority interest holders). Management’s establishment of a valuation allowance resulted from a combination of matters, including increasing cumulative book and net tax losses and the absence of evidence that the financial performance of the subsidiary had improved during the year to assure management that sufficient taxable income would be generated in the future in order to utilize the losses, which do not expire under German tax law. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company placed a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset related to the impairment of its investment in GrainCorp in the amount of $41 million. The Company also placed a full valuation allowance on the impairment of assets related to its sugar business in Brazil in the amount of $17 million. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company has $24 million of tax assets related to foreign and domestic capital loss carryforwards at December 31, 2013. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $22 million against these tax assets at December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company has $26 million and $32 million of tax assets related to excess foreign tax credits at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which begin to expire in 2015. The Company has $74 million and $79 million of tax assets related to state income tax attributes (incentive credits and net operating loss carryforwards), net of federal tax benefit, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which will expire at various times through fiscal 2033. The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance against the excess foreign tax credits at December 31, 2013. Due to the uncertainty of realization, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $53 million and $56 million related to state income tax assets net of federal tax benefit as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company remains subject to federal examination in the U.S. for the calendar tax years 2012 and 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and the Company’s share of the undistributed earnings of affiliated corporate joint venture companies accounted for on the equity method amounting to approximately $7.5 billion at December 31, 2013, are considered to be permanently reinvested, and accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes has been provided thereon. It is not practicable to determine the deferred tax liability for temporary differences related to these undistributed earnings. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following table sets forth a rollforward of activity of unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended December 31, 2012 as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

The additions and reductions in unrecognized tax benefits shown in the table include effects related to net income and shareholders’ equity. The changes in unrecognized tax benefits did not have a material effect on the Company’s net income or cash flow. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits of $18 million and $17 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company is subject to income taxation in many jurisdictions around the world. 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. 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. If the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits were recognized by the Company at one time, there would be a reduction of $46 million on the tax expense for that period. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company is subject to routine examination by domestic and foreign tax authorities 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. Resolution of the related tax positions, through negotiation 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. In its routine evaluations of the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company recognizes a liability, when necessary, for estimated potential additional tax owed by the Company in accordance with the applicable accounting standard. However, the Company cannot predict or provide assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these ongoing or future examinations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ADM do Brasil Ltda. (ADM do Brasil), received three separate tax assessments from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (BFRS) challenging the tax deductibility of commodity hedging losses and related expenses for the tax years 2004, 2006 and 2007. As of December 31, 2013, these assessments, updated for estimated penalties, interest, and variation in currency exchange rates, totaled approximately $528 million. ADM do Brasil’s tax return for 2005 was also audited and no assessment was received. The statute of limitations for 2005 and 2008 has expired. If the BFRS were to challenge commodity hedging deductions in tax years after 2008, the Company estimates it could receive additional tax assessments of approximately $35 million based on currency exchange rates as of December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
ADM do Brasil enters into commodity hedging transactions that can result in gains, which are included in ADM do Brasil's calculations of taxable income in Brazil, and losses, which ADM do Brasil deducts from its taxable income in Brazil. The Company has evaluated its tax position regarding these hedging transactions and concluded, based upon advice from Brazilian legal counsel, that it was appropriate to recognize both gains and losses resulting from hedging transactions when determining its Brazilian income tax expense. Therefore, the Company has continued to recognize the tax benefit from hedging losses in its financial statements and has not recorded any tax liability for the amounts assessed by the BFRS. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
ADM do Brasil filed an administrative appeal for each of the assessments. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, a decision in favor of the BFRS on the 2004 assessment was received and a second level administrative appeal was filed and is still ongoing as of the date of this report. In January of 2012, a decision in favor of the BFRS on the 2006 and 2007 assessments was received and a second level administrative appeal was filed and is still ongoing as of the date of this report. If ADM do Brasil continues to be unsuccessful in the administrative appellate process, further appeals are available in the Brazilian federal courts. While the Company believes its consolidated financial statements properly reflect the tax deductibility of these hedging losses, the ultimate resolution of this matter could result in the future recognition of additional payments of, and expense for, income tax and the associated interest and penalties. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position against the current assessments and any similar assessments that may be issued for years subsequent to 2008. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s subsidiaries in Argentina have received tax assessments challenging transfer prices used to price grain exports totaling $44 million (inclusive of interest and adjusted for variation in currency exchange rates) for the tax years 2004 and 2005. The Argentine tax authorities have been conducting 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. While the Company believes that it has complied with all Argentine tax laws, it cannot rule out receiving additional assessments challenging transfer prices used to price grain exports for years subsequent to 2005, and estimates the potential assessments to be $534 million (as of December 31, 2013 and subject to variation in currency exchange rates). The Company intends to vigorously defend its position against the current assessments and any similar assessments that may be issued for years subsequent to 2005. 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, the Company has not recorded a tax liability for these assessments. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In accordance with the accounting requirements for uncertain tax positions, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not to prevail on the Brazil and Argentina matters based upon their technical merits. The Company has not recorded an uncertain tax liability for these assessments partly because the taxing jurisdictions' processes do not provide a mechanism for settling at less than the full amount of the assessment. The Company's consideration of these tax assessments requires judgments about the application of income tax regulations to specific facts and circumstances. The final outcome of these matters cannot reliably be predicted, may take many years to resolve, and could result in financial impacts of up to the entire amount of these assessments. |

Employee Benefit Plans | ||||||||||||||||
The Company provides substantially all U.S. employees and employees at certain foreign subsidiaries with retirement benefits including defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans. The Company provides eligible U.S. employees who retire under qualifying conditions with access to postretirement health care, at full cost to the retiree (certain employees are “grandfathered” into subsidized coverage while others are provided with Health Care Reimbursement Accounts as described below). | ||||||||||||||||
In September 2012, the Company amended its U.S. qualified pension plans and began notifying certain former employees of its offer to pay those employees’ pension benefit in a lump sum. This lump sum payment offer expired in December 2012. Former employees eligible for the voluntary lump sum payment option were generally those who were vested traditional formula participants of the U.S. qualified pension plans who terminated employments prior to August 1, 2012 and who had not started receiving monthly payments of their pension benefits. The voluntary lump sum payments which amounted to $134 million reduced the Company’s global projected benefit obligations by $174 million, resulting in a net improvement of its pension underfunding by $40 million. The Company incurred a non-cash pre-tax charge of $53 million as a result of the requirement to expense the unrealized actuarial losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) pertaining to the liabilities settled at December 31, 2012. | ||||||||||||||||
In November 2012, the Company amended its U.S. postretirement benefit plan by providing participants with Health Care Reimbursement Accounts funded by credits, based on years of service, to be used to access post-65 supplemental Medicare insurance markets. The credit indexes annually up to a maximum rate of 3% per year. As a result of this amendment, the Company recognized a prior service credit of $109 million in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the quarter ended December 31, 2012. The prior service credit is being amortized over 8 years starting in 2013. | ||||||||||||||||
The Company maintains 401(k) plans covering substantially all U.S. employees. The Company contributes cash to the plans to match qualifying employee contributions, and also provides a non-matching employer contribution of 1% of pay to eligible participants. Under an employee stock ownership component of the 401(k) plans, employees may choose to invest in ADM stock as part of their own investment elections. The employer contributions are expensed when paid. Assets of the Company’s 401(k) plans consist primarily of listed common stocks and pooled funds. The Company’s 401(k) plans held 13 million shares of Company common stock at December 31, 2013, with a market value of $549 million. Cash dividends received on shares of Company common stock by these plans during the year ended ended December 31, 2013 were $10 million. | ||||||||||||||||

Included in accumulated other comprehensive income for pension benefits at December 31, 2013, are the following amounts that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost: unrecognized transition obligation of $1 million, unrecognized prior service cost of $6 million, and unrecognized actuarial loss of $589 million. The prior service cost and actuarial loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during 2014 is $3 million and $35 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||
Included in accumulated other comprehensive income for postretirement benefits at December 31, 2013, are the following amounts that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost: unrecognized prior service credit of $106 million and unrecognized actuarial loss of $28 million. Prior service credit of $18 million and actuarial loss of $1 million included in accumulated other comprehensive income are expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit cost during 2014. | ||||||||||||||||

Plan Assets | ||||||||||||||||
The Company’s employee benefit plan assets are principally comprised of the following types of investments: | ||||||||||||||||
Common stock: | ||||||||||||||||
Equity securities are valued based on quoted exchange prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. | ||||||||||||||||
Mutual funds: | ||||||||||||||||
Mutual funds are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which they are traded and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. | ||||||||||||||||
Common collective trust (CCT) funds: | ||||||||||||||||
The fair values of the CCTs are based on the cumulative net asset value (NAV) of their underlying investments. The investments in CCTs are comprised of international equity funds, a small cap U.S. equity fund, large cap U.S. equity funds, fixed income funds, and other funds. The fund units are valued at NAV based on the closing market value of the units bought or sold as of the valuation date and are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The CCTs seek primarily to provide investment results approximating the aggregate price, dividend performance, total return, and income stream of underlying investments of the funds. Issuances and redemptions of certain of the CCT investments may be restricted by date and/or amount. | ||||||||||||||||
Corporate debt instruments: | ||||||||||||||||
Corporate debt instruments are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which they are traded and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. | ||||||||||||||||
U.S. Treasury instruments: | ||||||||||||||||
U.S. Treasury instruments are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which they are traded and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. | ||||||||||||||||
U.S. government agency, state, and local government bonds: | ||||||||||||||||
U.S. government agency obligations and state and municipal debt securities are valued using third-party pricing services and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. | ||||||||||||||||
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants’ methods, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. | ||||||||||||||||
The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. | ||||||||||||||||

-1 | The Company’s U.S. pension plans contain approximately 67% of the Company’s global pension plan assets. The actual asset allocation for the Company’s U.S. pension plans as of the measurement date consists of 60% equity securities and 40% debt securities. The target asset allocation for the Company’s U.S. pension plans is approximately the same as the actual asset allocation. The actual asset allocation for the Company’s foreign pension plans as of the measurement date consists of 41% equity securities, 56% debt securities, and 3% in other investments. The target asset allocation for the Company’s foreign pension plans is approximately the same as the actual asset allocation. | |||||||||||||||
-2 | The Company’s pension plans did not hold any shares of Company common stock as of the December 31, 2013 and 2012 measurement dates. | |||||||||||||||
Investment objectives for the Company’s plan assets are to: | ||||||||||||||||
• | Optimize the long-term return on plan assets at an acceptable level of risk. | |||||||||||||||
• | Maintain a broad diversification across asset classes and among investment managers. | |||||||||||||||
• | Maintain careful control of the risk level within each asset class. | |||||||||||||||
Asset allocation targets promote optimal expected return and volatility characteristics given the long-term time horizon for fulfilling the obligations of the pension plans. Selection of the targeted asset allocation for plan assets was based upon a review of the expected return and risk characteristics of each asset class, as well as the correlation of returns among asset classes. The U.S. pension plans target asset allocation is also based on an asset and liability study that is updated periodically. | ||||||||||||||||
Investment guidelines are established with each investment manager. These guidelines provide the parameters within which the investment managers agree to operate, including criteria that determine eligible and ineligible securities, diversification requirements, and credit quality standards, where applicable. In some countries, derivatives may be used to gain market exposure in an efficient and timely manner; however, derivatives may not be used to leverage the portfolio beyond the market value of underlying investments. | ||||||||||||||||
The Company uses external consultants to assist in monitoring the investment strategy and asset mix for the Company’s plan assets. To develop the Company’s expected long-term rate of return assumption on plan assets, the Company generally uses long-term historical return information for the targeted asset mix identified in asset and liability studies. Adjustments are made to the expected long-term rate of return assumption when deemed necessary based upon revised expectations of future investment performance of the overall investment markets. | ||||||||||||||||
Contributions and Expected Future Benefit Payments | ||||||||||||||||
Based on actuarial calculations, the Company expects to contribute $41 million to the pension plans and $11 million to the postretirement benefit plan during 2014. The Company may elect to make additional discretionary contributions during this period. | ||||||||||||||||

Segment and Geographic Information | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company is principally engaged in procuring, transporting, storing, processing, and merchandising agricultural commodities and products. The Company’s operations are organized, managed and classified into three reportable business segments: Oilseeds Processing, Corn Processing, and Agricultural Services. Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services offered. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, and are classified as Other. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Oilseeds Processing segment includes global activities related to the origination, merchandising, crushing, and further processing of oilseeds such as soybeans and soft seeds (cottonseed, sunflower seed, canola, rapeseed, and flaxseed) into vegetable oils and protein meals. Oilseeds products produced and marketed by the Company include ingredients for the food, feed, energy, and other industrial products industries. Crude vegetable oils produced by the segment’s crushing activities are sold “as is” or are further processed by refining, blending, bleaching, and deodorizing into salad oils. Salad oils are sold “as is” or are further processed by hydrogenating and/or interesterifying into margarine, shortening, and other food products. Partially refined oils are used to produce biodiesel or are sold to other manufacturers for use in chemicals, paints, and other industrial products. Oilseed protein meals are principally sold to third parties to be used as ingredients in commercial livestock and poultry feeds. The Oilseeds Processing segment also includes activities related to the procurement, transportation and processing of cocoa beans into cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, chocolate, and various compounds in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa for the food processing industry. In Europe and South America, the Oilseeds Processing segment includes origination and merchandising activities as adjuncts to its oilseeds processing assets. These activities include a network of grain elevators, port facilities, and transportation assets used to buy, store, clean, and transport grains and oilseeds. The Oilseeds Processing segment produces natural health and nutrition products and other specialty food and feed ingredients. The Oilseeds Processing segment is a major supplier of peanuts and peanut-derived ingredients to both the U.S. and export markets.

In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a $146 million pre-tax asset impairment charge ($0.16 per share after tax) on its investments in Gruma by comparing the carrying value, including $123 million of cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation losses, to estimated fair value. Fair value was estimated based on negotiations which resulted in the Company entering into a non-binding letter of intent to sell its interests in Gruma to a third party on October 16, 2012. The Company sold its interest in Gruma in December 2012. | |||||||||||||||||||

Sale of Accounts Receivable | ' |
Sale of Accounts Receivable | |
Since March 2012, the Company has an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”). Under the Program, certain U.S.-originated trade accounts receivable are sold to a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote entity, ADM Receivables, LLC (“ADM Receivables”). ADM Receivables in turn transfers such purchased accounts receivable in their entirety to the Purchasers pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement. In exchange for the transfer of the accounts receivable, ADM Receivables receives a cash payment of up to $1.1 billion and an additional amount upon the collection of the accounts receivable (deferred consideration). ADM Receivables uses the cash proceeds from the transfer of receivables to the Purchasers and other consideration to finance the purchase of receivables from the Company and the ADM subsidiaries originating the receivables. The Company accounts for these transfers as sales. The Company has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than collection and administrative responsibilities and its right to the deferred consideration. At December 31, 2013, and 2012, the Company did not record a servicing asset or liability related to its retained responsibility, based on its assessment of the servicing fee, market values for similar transactions and its cost of servicing the receivables sold. The Program terminates on June 28, 2014, unless extended. | |
As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of trade receivables transferred to the Purchasers under the Program and derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was $1.9 billion. In exchange for the transfer, the Company received cash of $1.1 billion and recorded a $0.8 billion receivable for deferred consideration included in other current assets. Cash collections from customers on receivables sold were $39.8 billion, $30.8 billion, $21.9 billion, and $8.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the six months ended December 31, 2012, and the year ended June 30, 2012, respectively. All of the cash collections from customers on receivables sold were applied to the deferred consideration. Deferred consideration is paid to the Company in cash on behalf of the Purchasers as receivables are collected; however, as this is a revolving facility, cash collected from the Company’s customers is reinvested by the Purchasers daily in new receivable purchases under the Program. | |
The Company’s risk of loss following the transfer of accounts receivable under the Program is limited to the deferred consideration outstanding. The Company carries the deferred consideration at fair value determined by calculating the expected amount of cash to be received and is principally based on observable inputs (a Level 2 measurement under the applicable accounting standards) consisting mainly of the face amount of the receivables adjusted for anticipated credit losses and discounted at the appropriate market rate. Payment of deferred consideration is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred under the program which have historically been insignificant. | |
Transfers of receivables under the Program during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the six months ended December 31, 2012, and the year ended June 30, 2012 resulted in an expense for the loss on sale of $4 million, $8 million, $4 million, and $4 million, respectively, which is classified as selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings. | |
The Company reflects all cash flows related to the Program as operating activities in its consolidated statements of cash flows because the cash received from the Purchasers upon both the sale and collection of the receivables is not subject to significant interest rate risk given the short-term nature of the Company’s trade receivables. |

Legal Proceedings, Guarantees, and Commitments | |
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, and class actions. The Company also routinely receives inquiries from regulators and other government authorities relating to various aspects of our business. The outcomes of these matters are not within our 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. | |
Beginning in August 2008, the Company engaged outside counsel and other advisers to conduct a comprehensive review, under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and other U.S. and foreign laws, of certain transactions conducted by the Company and its affiliates and joint ventures. The Company voluntarily disclosed this matter to the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ"), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and certain foreign regulators in March 2009, and since then the Company has provided periodic updates to these agencies. On December 20, 2013, the Company reached a comprehensive settlement with the DOJ and the SEC to resolve these matters. Under the settlement, the Company entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the DOJ and a consent decree with the SEC and agreed with these agencies to monetary relief totaling approximately $54 million, the amount for which the Company established a reserve and included in its selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013. The $54 million in monetary relief includes $36 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest paid by the Company to the SEC, and a $18 million fine paid by Alfred C. Toepfer International Ukraine Ltd. (“ACTI Ukraine”), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, to the DOJ. As part of the comprehensive settlement, ACTI Ukraine also entered a guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to violate the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois. Alfred C. Toepfer International G.m.b.H. has also agreed to pay a fine of $1 million to German authorities in connection with this matter which is included in the Company's selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |
The Company has entered into agreements, primarily debt guarantee agreements related to equity-method investees, which could obligate the Company to make future payments if the primary entity fails to perform its contractual obligations. The Company has not recorded a liability for payment of these contingent obligations, as the Company believes the fair value of these contingent obligations is immaterial. The Company has collateral for a portion of these contingent obligations. These contingent obligations totaled $37 million at December 31, 2013. |

Change in Fiscal Year | ' |
Change in Fiscal Year | |
On May 3, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that, in accordance with its Bylaws and upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Company’s fiscal year shall begin on January 1 and end on December 31 of each year, starting on January 1, 2013. The required transition period of July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 is included in this Form 10-K report. Amounts included in this report for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the six months ended December 31, 2011 are unaudited. | |
For purposes of preparing this Form 10-K, the Company's management believes the calendar 2012 is the most directly comparable period to calendar year 2013 results. The calendar year ended December 31, 2012 data is unaudited and has been compiled from the Company's quarterly reports for the quarters' ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2012. | |
Principles Of Consolidation | ' |
Principles of Consolidation | |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates all entities, including variable interest entities (VIEs), in which it has a controlling financial interest. For VIEs, the Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary as defined under the applicable accounting standard. 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. | |
The Company consolidates Alfred C. Toepfer International (Toepfer), in which the Company has an 80% interest, for which the minority interest was subject to a mandatorily redeemable put option. As a result of the put option, the associated minority interest was reported in other long-term liabilities. On December 31, 2011, the put option expired and the Company reclassified $174 million of minority interest from other long-term liabilities to noncontrolling interests in shareholders’ equity at that date. During 2013, Toepfer became subject to a new mandatorily redeemable put option; and as a result, the Company reclassified $180 million of noncontrolling interest in shareholders' equity to long-term liabilities. | |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company updated its estimates for service lives of certain of its machinery and equipment assets in order to better match the Company’s depreciation expense with the periods these assets are expected to generate revenue based on planned and historical service periods. The Company accounted for this service life update as a change in accounting estimate as of October 1, 2010 in accordance with the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, thereby impacting the quarter in which the change occurred and future quarters. The effect of this change on after-tax earnings and diluted earnings per share was an increase of $83 million and $0.13, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2011. | |
Reclassifications | ' |
Reclassifications | |
Other (income) expense - net in the consolidated statements of earnings for the years ended December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 has been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation where impairment losses on securities are now shown with asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs. There was no change in earnings before income taxes as a result of this reclassification. This change is also reflected in Notes 13 and 19. | |
Intangible assets, previously included in other assets, have been reclassified to goodwill and other intangible assets. There was no change in total investments and other assets as a result of this reclassification. | |
Accrued expenses and other payables in the prior year's consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation where payables to brokerage customers are now shown separately from accrued expenses and other payables. There was no change in total current liabilities as a result of this reclassification. This change is also reflected in Note 7 and the prior years' consolidated statements of cash flows with no impact to total cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, or financing activities. | |
Certain items in the prior year's consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation with no impact to total cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, or financing activities. | |
Certain items in Notes 3, 4, 6, and 7 in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. There was no change in other current assets and accrued expenses and other payables in the prior year's consolidated balance sheet as a result of the reclassifications. | |
Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash Equivalents | |
The Company considers all non-segregated, highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. | |
Segregated Cash and Investments | ' |
Segregated Cash and Investments | |
The Company segregates certain cash and investment balances in accordance with regulatory requirements, commodity exchange requirements, insurance arrangements, and lending arrangements. These segregated balances represent deposits received from customers of the Company’s registered futures commission merchant, securities pledged to commodity exchange clearinghouses, and cash and securities pledged as security under certain insurance or lending arrangements. Segregated cash and investments primarily consist of cash, United States government securities, and money-market funds. | |
Receivables | ' |
Receivables | |
The Company records accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts of $81 million and $87 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances. The Company estimates this allowance based on its history of write-offs, level of past-due accounts, and its relationships with, and the economic status of, its customers. Portions of the allowance for uncollectible accounts are recorded in trade receivables, other current assets, and other assets. | |
Credit risk on receivables is minimized as a result of the large and diversified nature of the Company’s worldwide customer base. The Company manages its exposure to counter-party credit risk through credit analysis and approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures. Collateral is generally not required for the Company’s receivables. | |
Accounts receivable due from unconsolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $73 million and $175 million, respectively. | |
Inventories | ' |
Inventories | |
Inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, which include inventories acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value. In addition, the Company values certain inventories using the lower of cost, determined by either the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or last-in, first-out (LIFO) methods, or market. | |
Fair Value Measurements | ' |
Fair Value Measurements | |
The Company determines fair value based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to measure the majority of its assets and liabilities carried at fair value. Three levels are established within the fair value hierarchy that may be used to report fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable inputs, including Level 1 prices that have been adjusted; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges; and other inputs that are observable or can be substantially corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. In evaluating the significance of fair value inputs, the Company generally classifies assets or liabilities as Level 3 when their fair value is determined using unobservable inputs that individually or when aggregated with other unobservable inputs, represent more than 10% of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Judgment is required in evaluating both quantitative and qualitative factors in the determination of significance for purposes of fair value level classification. Level 3 amounts can include assets and liabilities whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as assets and liabilities for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. | |
Based on historical experience with the Company’s suppliers and customers, the Company’s own credit risk and knowledge of current market conditions, the Company does not view nonperformance risk to be a significant input to fair value for the majority of its forward commodity purchase and sale contracts. However, in certain cases, if the Company believes the nonperformance risk to be a significant input, the Company records estimated fair value adjustments, and classifies the contract in Level 3. | |
In many cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level of input that is a significant component of the fair value measurement determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the classification of fair value assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels. | |
The Company’s policy regarding the timing of transfers between levels, including both transfers into and transfers out of Level 3, is to measure and record the transfers at the end of the reporting period. | |
Derivatives | ' |
Derivatives | |
The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated balance sheet. Unrealized gains are reported as other current assets and unrealized losses are reported as accrued expenses and other payables. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and on the type of hedging relationship. The majority of the Company’s derivatives have not been designated as hedging instruments; and as such, changes in fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings immediately. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company designates the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. | |
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item affected by the hedged transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument that is in excess of the cumulative change in the cash flows of the hedged item, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion), 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. | |
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and changes in the fair value of the underlying are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings during the current period. | |
Marketable Securities | ' |
Marketable Securities | |
The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, reported as a component of other comprehensive income. The Company monitors its investments for impairment periodically, and recognizes an impairment charge when the decline in fair value of an investment is judged to be other-than-temporary. The Company uses the specific identification method when securities are sold or reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. The Company considers marketable securities maturing in less than one year as short-term. All other marketable securities are classified as long-term. | |
Property, Plant, and Equipment | ' |
Property, Plant, and Equipment | |
Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company generally uses the straight-line method in computing depreciation for financial reporting purposes and generally uses accelerated methods for income tax purposes. The annual provisions for depreciation have been computed principally in accordance with the following ranges of asset lives: buildings - 10 to 40 years; machinery and equipment - 3 to 30 years. The Company capitalized interest on major construction projects in progress of $16 million, $24 million, $12 million, $9 million, $21 million, and $7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes | |
The Company accounts for its income tax positions in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. The liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements using statutory rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recorded in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date under the law. Applicable accounting standards prescribe a minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes in its consolidated financial statements tax positions determined more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. | |
The Company classifies interest on income tax-related balances as interest expense and classifies tax-related penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses. | |
Goodwill and other intangible assets | ' |
Goodwill and other intangible assets | |
Goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. Prior to the fiscal year end change transition period, the Company’s accounting policy was to evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment on April 1 of each fiscal year or whenever there were indicators that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Effective in the transition period ended December 31, 2012, the Company voluntarily changed its accounting policy to begin conducting the annual goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets impairment tests on October 1. The change to the annual goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets impairment testing date is preferable under the circumstances as the new impairment testing date is better aligned with the timing of the Company’s annual strategic, planning, and budgeting process, and the timing is more closely aligned with the Company’s annual financial reporting process as a result of the change in year end. The resulting change in accounting principle related to the annual testing date did not delay, accelerate, or avoid an impairment charge of the Company’s goodwill. As it is impracticable to objectively determine the estimates and assumptions necessary to perform the annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 for periods prior to October 1, 2012, the Company prospectively applied the annual goodwill impairment testing date effective October 1, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment charge for goodwill of $9 million related to the Company's Brazilian sugar milling business. There were no impairment charges recorded for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the six months and year ended December 31, 2012 and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. | |
Asset Abandonments and Write-Downs | ' |
Asset Abandonments and Write-Downs | |
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. Assets are written down to fair value after consideration of the ability to utilize the assets for their intended purpose or to employ the assets in alternative uses or sell the assets to recover the carrying value. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, impairment charges were $84 million, $30 million, $0 million, $337 million, $367 million, and $2 million, respectively (see Note 19 for additional information). | |
Payables to Brokerage Customers | ' |
Payables to Brokerage Customers | |
Payables to brokerage customers represent the total of customer accounts at the Company's futures commission merchant with credit or positive balances. Customer accounts are used primarily in connection with commodity transactions and include gains and losses on open commodity trades as well as securities and other deposits made for margins or other purpose as required by the Company or the exchange-clearing organizations or counterparties. Payables to brokerage customers have a corresponding balance in segregated cash and investments and customer omnibus receivable in other current assets. | |
Revenues | ' |
The Company follows a policy of recognizing sales revenue at the time of delivery of the product and when all of the following have occurred: a sales agreement is in place, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company has sales contracts that allow for pricing to occur after title of the goods has passed to the customer. In these cases, the Company continues to report the goods in inventory until it recognizes the sales revenue once the price has been determined. Freight costs and handling charges related to sales are recorded as a component of cost of products sold. | |
Net sales to unconsolidated affiliates during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were $6.9 billion, $7.2 billion, $4.0 billion, $4.5 billion, $7.7 billion, and $7.1 billion, respectively. | |
Stock Compensation | ' |
Stock Compensation | |
The Company recognizes expense for its stock compensation based on the fair value of the awards that are granted. The Company’s stock compensation plans provide for the granting of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and stock options. The fair values of stock options and performance stock units are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and a lattice valuation model, respectively. These valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Measured compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the related stock compensation award. | |
Research and Development | ' |
Research and Development | |
Costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred. Such costs incurred, net of expenditures subsequently reimbursed by government grants, were $59 million, $55 million, $28 million, $29 million, $56 million, and $60 million, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |
Per Share Data | ' |
Per Share Data | |
Basic earnings per common share are determined by dividing net earnings attributable to controlling interests by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, average number of common shares outstanding is increased by common stock options outstanding with exercise prices lower than the average market price of common shares using the treasury share method. | |
As further described in Note 10, certain potentially dilutive securities (the $1.75 billion Equity Units) were excluded from the diluted average shares calculation because their impact was anti-dilutive, except during the third quarter of fiscal 2011. See Note 11 for the earnings per share calculations. | |
Adoption of New Accounting Standards | ' |
Adoption of New Accounting Standards | |
Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted the amended guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, which requires the Company to present, either on the face of the consolidated statement of earnings or in the notes, the effect on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of this amended guidance requires expanded disclosures in the Company's consolidated financial statements but does not impact results (see Note 17). | |
Effective July 17, 2013, the Company adopted the amended guidance of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which permits the Company to use the Overnight Index Swap as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the U.S. treasury interest rates and the London Interbank Offered Rate. The amended guidance also removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have an impact on current period results and is not expected to have any material impact on the Company's financial results. | |
Pending Accounting Standards | ' |
Pending Accounting Standards | |
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the Company to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or if the Company does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability in the financial statements and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The Company does not expect a material impact on its financial results as a result of the adoption of this amended guidance. | |
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), which requires the Company to transfer currency translation adjustments from other comprehensive income into net income in certain circumstances. The amended guidance aims to resolve diversity in practice as to whether ASC Topic 810, Consolidation or Topic 830 applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity, or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business. The Company will be required to apply the amended guidance prospectively. If the Company disposes all or part of a qualifying foreign entity, it will be required to release the portion of cumulative translation adjustment applicable to the disposed entity. | |
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 405, Liabilities, which addresses the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, for which the total amount under the arrangement is fixed at the reporting date. The amended guidance aims to resolve diversity in practice among companies that are subject to joint and several liabilities. The Company will be required to apply the amended guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company does not expect a material impact on its financial results as a result of the adoption of this amended guidance. |
