Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM) is a global leader in agriculture, providing essential services in the agricultural supply chain, human and animal nutrition, and sustainability solutions. The company is renowned for its wide range of natural ingredient offerings and its role in promoting sustainability across various industries.
In its preliminary third-quarter report for 2024, ADM revealed mixed financial results, with net earnings projected at $18 million and adjusted net earnings at $530 million. Earnings per share are expected to be $0.04, with adjusted earnings per share at $1.09, both reflecting a decrease compared to the previous year. The company also announced it would restate certain 2023 and 2024 financial statements, although these restatements are not expected to materially impact the overall consolidated results.
Key performance metrics indicate that the Carbohydrate Solutions segment performed robustly, while the Ag Services and Oilseeds and Nutrition segments underperformed due to market challenges and higher operational costs. The company also recorded a significant non-cash charge of $461 million against GAAP earnings related to its Wilmar equity investment. Despite these hurdles, ADM reported a year-to-date cash flow from operations of $2.468 billion, showing a notable increase from the previous year’s $1.891 billion.
Looking ahead, ADM’s management is focused on improving internal controls and operational efficiency to drive better financial performance. The company has lowered its full-year EPS guidance, citing ongoing market and operational challenges. As ADM continues to enhance its financial controls and segment reporting, it remains committed to creating value and fostering sustainability across its global operations.
