Higher results in the quarter were primarily driven by North America, which benefited from the combination of large crops and strong meal and oil demand. Partially offsetting this strong performance were lower results in Europe, which were negatively impacted by higher energy costs and lower volumes, and in South America due to tight bean supplies.

Milling Summary

The loss in the quarter was primarily driven by low origination volume and high supply chain costs reflecting the small Argentine wheat crop that negatively impacted our local merchandising operations. Results in the prior year benefited from contributions from our Mexican wheat mills which we sold in the third quarter of 2022.

Sugar & Bioenergy Summary

Improved results in the quarter were primarily driven by higher sugar prices which more than offset lower ethanol margins.

Cash used for operations during the year was $5,549 million compared to cash used of $2,894 million in the same period last year. Adjusted for the proceeds from beneficial interest in securitized trade receivables, cash provided by operating activities was $1,275 million compared with cash provided by operating activities of $2,163 million in the prior year. The lower cash provided by operating activities was driven by lower reported net income as well as an increase in cash used to fund working capital as a result of higher commodity prices in the current year. Funds from operations (FFO) adjusted for notable items and mark-to-market timing differences was $2,357 million compared to $1,958 million in the prior year (4).

Income Taxes

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, income tax expense was $131 million and $388 million, respectively, compared to $64 million and $398 million for the prior year periods. The increase in income tax expense for the quarter was primarily due to higher pre-tax income and earnings mix. The decrease in income tax expense for the full year was primarily due to lower pre-tax income, partially offset by earnings mix. Adjusting for notable items and mark-to-market timing differences, the full year adjusted effective income tax rate was 17.0% compared to 15.7% for the prior year(5) primarily due to earnings mix.

  • Outlook(6)

Taking into account the current margin environment and forward curves, we expect full-year 2023 adjusted EPS of at least $11 per share.

In Agribusiness, full-year results are forecasted to be down from last year as slightly higher results in Processing are more than offset by lower results in Merchandising. While we are not forecasting the same magnitude of margin enhancing opportunities that we captured during 2022, we do see potential upside to our outlook if strong demand and tight global commodity supplies continue throughout the year.

In Refined and Specialty Oils, full-year results are expected to be modestly down from the record prior year.

In Milling, full-year results are expected to be down from last year and in line with historical performance.

In Corporate and Other, results are expected to be in line with last year.

In Non-Core, full-year results in the sugar and bioenergy joint venture are expected to be in line with last year.

Additionally, the Company expects the following for 2023: an adjusted annual effective tax rate in the range of 20% to 24%; net interest expense in the range of $380 to $410 million; capital expenditures in the range of $800 million to $1 billion; and depreciation and amortization of approximately $415 million.

Bunge uses segment earnings before interest and tax (“Segment EBIT”) to evaluate the operating performance of its individual segments. Segment EBIT excludes EBIT attributable to noncontrolling interests. Bunge also uses Core Segment EBIT, Non-core Segment EBIT and Total Segment EBIT to evaluate the operating performance of Bunge’s Core reportable segments, Non-core reportable segments, and Total reportable segments together with its Corporate and Other activities, respectively. Core Segment EBIT is the aggregate of the earnings before interest and taxes of each of Bunge’s Agribusiness, Refined and Specialty Oils, and Milling segments. Non-core Segment EBIT is the earnings before interest and taxes of Bunge’s Sugar & Bioenergy segment. Total Segment EBIT is the aggregate of the earnings before interest and taxes of Bunge’s Core and Non-core reportable segments, together with its Corporate and Other activities.

Adjusted Core Segment EBIT, Adjusted Non-core Segment EBIT, Adjusted Corporate and Other EBIT, and Adjusted Total Segment EBIT, are calculated by excluding temporary mark-to-market timing differences, as defined in note 3 below, and certain gains and (charges), as described in "Additional Financial Information" above, from Core Segment EBIT, Non-core Segment EBIT, and Total Segment EBIT, respectively.

Core Segment EBIT, Non-core Segment EBIT, Total Segment EBIT, Adjusted Core Segment EBIT, Adjusted Non-core Segment EBIT, and Adjusted Total Segment EBIT are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Bunge's management believes these non-GAAP measures are a useful measure of its reportable segments' operating profitability, since the measures allow for an evaluation of segment performance without regard to their financing methods or capital structure. For this reason, operating performance measures such as these non-GAAP measures are widely used by analysts and investors in Bunge's industries. These non-GAAP measures are not a measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP.

Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge to Adjusted Net Income (loss) available for common shareholders

Adjusted Net income (loss) excludes temporary mark-to-market timing differences, as defined in note 3 below, and certain gains and (charges), as described in "Additional Financial Information" above, and is a non-GAAP financial measure. This measure is not a measure of Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. It should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, Net income (loss), or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Net income (loss) is a useful measure of the Company's profitability.

We also have presented projected Adjusted Net income per common share for 2023. This information is provided only on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliation to projected Net Income per common share for 2023, the mostly directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The most directly comparable GAAP measure has not been provided due to the inability to quantify certain amounts necessary for such reconciliation, including but not limited to potentially significant future market price movements over the remainder of the year.

Adjusted Funds From Operations

Adjusted FFO is calculated by excluding from Cash provided by (used for) operating activities, foreign exchange gain (loss) on net debt, working capital changes, net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests, and mark-to-market timing differences after tax. Adjusted FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace Cash provided by (used for) operating activities, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Bunge management believes presentation of this measure allows investors to view its cash generating performance using the same measure that management uses in evaluating financial and business performance and trends without regard to foreign exchange gains and losses, working capital changes and mark-to-market timing differences. This non-GAAP measure is not a measure of consolidated cash flow under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Cash provided by (used for) operating activities, Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and cash held for sale, or any other measure of consolidated cash flow under U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted Effective Income Tax Rate

Adjusted effective income tax rate is calculated by adding or deducting from effective income tax rate the income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments made to Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge used to calculate Adjusted net income (loss) available to common shareholders; see “Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge to Adjusted Net Income (loss) available for common shareholders” above. These non-GAAP adjustments are presented on a pre-tax basis. Adjusted effective income tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace effective income tax rate, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Bunge's management believes that presenting the Adjusted effective income tax rate allows investors to consider the effective income tax rate associated with Bunge’s core operations. We have also presented projected Adjusted effective income tax rate for 2023. This information is provided without reconciliation to projected effective income tax rate for 2023, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, due to the inability to quantify the amounts necessary to calculate projected net income per common share, as described above. These amounts could result in significant adjustments from projected effective income tax rate for 2023.

The Processing business included in our Agribusiness segment consists of: global oilseed processing activities, which principally include the origination and crushing of oilseeds (including soybeans, canola, rapeseed and sunflower seed) into protein meals and vegetable oils; the distribution of oilseeds, oilseed products and fertilizer products through our port terminals and transportation assets (including trucks, railcars, barges and ocean vessels); fertilizer production; and biodiesel production, which is partially conducted through joint ventures.

 

 

The Merchandising business included in our Agribusiness segment primarily consists of: global grain origination activities, which principally include the purchasing, cleaning, drying, storing and handling of corn, wheat and barley at our network of grain elevators; logistical services for the distribution of these commodities to our customer markets through our port terminals and transportation assets (including trucks, railcars, barges and ocean vessels); and financial services and activities for customers from whom we purchase commodities, and other third parties.

Mark-to-market timing difference comprises the estimated net temporary impact resulting from unrealized period-end gains/losses associated with the fair valuation of certain forward contracts, readily marketable inventories (RMI), and related futures contracts associated with our committed future operating capacity. The impact of these mark-to-market timing differences, which is expected to reverse over time due to the forward contracts, RMI, and related futures contracts being part of an economically-hedged position, is not representative of the operating performance of our business.

We have not presented a comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for any full-year 2023 outlook financial measures presented on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis because the information necessary for such presentation is unavailable at this time. The information necessary to prepare the comparable U.S. GAAP presentation could result in significant differences from the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release. Please see “Definition and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for more information.
