Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements of Archer-Daniels-Midland Company and its subsidiaries (“ADM” or the “Company”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Certain prior period data has been reclassified in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes to conform to the current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
Segregated Cash and Investments
The Company segregates certain cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances in accordance with regulatory requirements, commodity exchange requirements, and insurance arrangements. These balances include deposits received from customers of ADM Investor Services, the Company’s registered futures commission merchant and provider of commodity brokerage services, cash margins and securities pledged to commodity exchange clearinghouses or other brokers, and cash pledged as security under certain insurance arrangements. The payables to brokerage customers have a corresponding balance in segregated cash and investments and segregated customer omnibus receivable in other current assets.
Reconciliation of Total Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Restricted Cash Equivalents
The following represents a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in millions).

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of such investments to determine if any valuation adjustments are appropriate under the applicable accounting pronouncements.

Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which simplifies the application of the current expected credit loss model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Contracts with Customers. The adoption of the guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Hedge Accounting. The amended guidance within this ASU is intended to simplify cash flow hedge accounting and enhance the hedging of variable price-components of nonfinancial forecasted transactions. Among other changes, the amendments eliminate the requirement for contractually specified price components in order to qualify for risk componentization for a cash flow hedge program for forecasted nonfinancial transactions. The amendments better align hedge accounting with the Company’s commodity risk management activities and improved the operability of its commodity cash flow hedge program. The adoption did not have a significant effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Effective January 1, 2027, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract, which expands the scope of contracts that are excluded from derivative accounting to include certain non-exchange traded contracts. It also clarifies that the revenue guidance in ASC 606, Contracts with Customers, initially applies to share-based noncash consideration received from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Effective January 1, 2027, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which amends the existing framework for identifying the accounting acquirer in business combinations when the legal acquiree is a VIE by requiring entities to consider the general accounting acquirer factors in ASC 805-10, Business Combination-Overall, when the transaction is primarily effected by the exchange of equity interests. The new guidance is required to be applied prospectively to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective December 31, 2027, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of income statement expenses, which will require tabular disclosure of certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments in this ASU can be applied on a prospective basis or retrospective basis upon adoption. The adoption of the amended guidance will result in expanded disclosures in the Company’s footnotes but is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective January 1, 2028, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods and provides new guidance on how to evaluate whether the probable-to-completion recognition threshold has been met. The amendments in this ASU can be applied on a prospective basis or retrospective basis upon adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective January 1, 2029, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (Topic 832), which establishes authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants received by business entities. Under this ASU, government grants are recognized when it is probable that the entity will comply with the grant’s conditions and will receive the grant. Grants related to income may be presented either as a separate line item or as a reduction of the related expenses. Grants related to assets may reduce the carrying amount of the related asset or be presented as deferred income. This ASU also requires disclosure of the nature and terms of grants, the accounting policies applied, and significant conditions. The amendments in this ASU can be applied on a modified prospective or retrospective basis upon adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Ag Services and Oilseeds
The Ag Services and Oilseeds segment generates revenue from commodity sales, service fees related to the transportation of goods, sales of products manufactured in its global processing facilities, and structured trade finance activities. Revenue from physically settled derivative sales contracts primarily relates to forward sales of commodities where such contracts meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815. Revenue from such commodities contracts is recognized at a point in time, upon transferring control of the commodity to the customer, consistent with the recognition principles under Topic 606. Revenue for deferred price contracts that allow for pricing to be determined after title of the goods has passed to the customer may be recognized when the price is determined. For transportation service contracts, the Company recognizes revenue over time as the transportation service is performed in accordance with the transfer of control guidance of Topic 606.
Carbohydrate Solutions
The Carbohydrate Solutions segment generates revenue from the sale of products manufactured at the Company’s corn and wheat milling facilities around the world. Revenue is recognized when control over products is transferred to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the consideration specified in the contract which could include freight and other costs depending on the specific shipping terms of each contract.

Commissions and brokerage revenue are recognized on the date the transaction is executed.
Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on 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. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
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.

Inventories Carried at Market and Inventory-Related Payables
Estimated fair values for inventories and inventory-related payables stated at market are based on exchange-quoted prices, adjusted for differences in local markets and quality, referred to as basis. Market valuations for the Company’s inventories are adjusted for location and quality (basis) because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts with standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade. The basis adjustments are generally determined using inputs from competitor and broker quotations or market transactions and are considered observable. Basis adjustments are impacted 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 basis adjustments.
Inventory is classified as Level 2, except in certain cases, where the basis adjustments are unobservable, and unobservable inputs have a significant impact (more than 10%) on the measurement of fair value. In such cases the inventory is classified as Level 3.
Changes in the fair value of inventories and inventory-related payables are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a component of Cost of products sold.
Unrealized Derivative Gains and Losses
Derivative contracts include exchange-traded commodity futures and options contracts, forward physical commodity purchase and sale contracts, and over-the-counter (“OTC”) instruments related primarily to agricultural commodities, energy, interest rates, and foreign currencies. Substantially all of the Company’s exchange-traded commodity 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. Market valuations for the Company’s physical commodity purchase and sale contracts are adjusted for location (basis) because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts that have standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade. The basis adjustments are generally determined using inputs from competitor and broker quotations or market transactions and are considered observable. Basis adjustments are impacted 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 basis adjustments.
Physical commodity purchase and sale contracts are classified as Level 2, except in certain cases, where the basis adjustments are unobservable, and unobservable inputs have a significant impact (more than 10%) on the measurement of fair value. In such cases the contract is classified as 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.
Except for certain derivatives designated as net investment hedges, 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) - net, depending upon the purpose of the contract.
Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds valued using quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1.
Marketable Securities
The Company's marketable securities are comprised of foreign government securities and foreign term deposits with original maturities greater than 90 days. These securities are valued using quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1.

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 that result in differences between exchange-traded prices and local prices for inventories and physical 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 basis adjustments required due to location, quality, or other contract terms. The changes in unobservable price components are determined by specific local supply and demand characteristics at each location 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company’s Level 3 measurements may include basis only, transportation cost only, or both price components.

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, absent other corroborating evidence, the Company considers these price quotes as 100% unobservable and, therefore, the fair value of these items is reported in Level 3.
Note 5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
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 and OTC commodity instruments to manage its net position of merchandisable agricultural product 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 and OTC commodity instruments 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 and the value of the underlying commodities, counterparty contract defaults, and volatility of freight markets.
The Company recognizes changes in market value of inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, inventory-related payables, forward cash purchase and sales contracts, and exchange-traded and OTC instruments in earnings immediately as a component of Cost of products sold.
Fair Value of Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Derivatives, including exchange-traded contracts and physical commodity purchase and sale contracts, and inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural products, which include amounts acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at fair 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.

Derivatives Designated As Hedging Instruments
The Company had certain derivatives designated as cash flow, fair value, and net investment hedges as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flow that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and as an operating activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item affected by the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, if any, and gains and losses related to discontinued hedges are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the relevant period.
For each of the hedge programs described below, the derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. 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 and losses arising from the hedge are reclassified from AOCI to either Revenues or Cost of products sold, as applicable.
The Company uses exchange-traded futures and options contracts to hedge 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 normally grind approximately 56 million bushels of corn per month. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 12 % and 30 % of its monthly grind. At March 31, 2026, the Company had designated hedges representing between 0 % and 32 % of its anticipated monthly grind of corn for the next 12 months.

The Company uses exchange-traded futures and options contracts to hedge the purchase price of the anticipated volumes of soybeans to be purchased and processed in a future month for certain of its U.S. soybean crush facilities, subject to certain program limits. The Company also uses exchange-traded futures and options contracts to hedge the sales prices of anticipated soybean meal and soybean oil sales proportionate to the soybean crushing process at these facilities, subject to certain program limits. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 22 % and 100 % of the anticipated monthly soybean crush for soybean purchases and soybean meal and soybean oil sales at the designated facilities. At March 31, 2026, the Company had designated hedges representing between 0 % and 100 % of the anticipated monthly soybean crush for soybean purchases and soybean meal and soybean oil sales at the designated facilities over the next 12 months.
The Company uses exchange-traded futures and OTC swaps to hedge the purchase price of anticipated volumes of natural gas consumption in a future month for certain of its facilities in North America and Europe, subject to certain program limits. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 24 % and 73 % of the anticipated monthly natural gas consumption at the designated facilities. At March 31, 2026, the Company had designated hedges representing between 13 % and 74 % of the anticipated monthly natural gas consumption over the next 12 months.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had after-tax (losses) gains of $(39 ) million and $13 million, respectively, in AOCI related to gains and losses from these programs. The Company expects to recognize $39 million of the March 31, 2026 after-tax losses in its Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the next 12 months.
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 is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the current period. The terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the underlying debt.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had pre-tax gains of $13 million and $17 million, respectively, in Other current assets related to interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $500
Net Investment Hedges
The Company uses cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange forwards designated as net investment hedges to protect the Company’s investment in foreign subsidiaries against changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company executed USD-fixed to Euro-fixed cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $439 million and $447 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and foreign exchange forwards with an aggregate notional amount of $2.5 billion and $2.6 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had net investment hedge related after-tax foreign exchange (losses) gains of $(126 ) million and $(171 ) million, recorded within AOCI, respectively. These amounts are deferred in AOCI until the underlying investments are divested.
The Company had previously designated its €650 million outstanding long-term debt and commercial paper borrowings as a hedge of its net investment in a foreign subsidiary. This long-term debt matured in September 2025 and was paid in full in the year ended December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had after-tax gains of $176

Note 12. Segment Information
The Company’s operations are organized, managed, and classified into three reportable segments: Ag Services and Oilseeds (“AS&O”), Carbohydrate Solutions, and Nutrition.
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 the applicable accounting standard, and are classified within either Corporate or Other Business.
The reportable segments have been identified based on financial data utilized by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company’s Chair of the Board. The CODM uses segment operating profit as the measurement of segment profit or loss. Separate financial information for the Company’s three reportable segments is evaluated by the CODM on a monthly basis to allocate resources and assess performance. The CODM does not use total assets by segment to make decisions regarding resources; therefore, the total asset disclosure by segment has not been included. Segment operating profit is based on net sales less identifiable operating expenses. Also included in segment operating profit is equity in (loss) earnings of affiliates based on the equity method of accounting. Specified items and certain corporate items are not allocated to the Company’s individual business segments because operating performance of each business segment is evaluated by the CODM exclusive of these items.

Note 14. Sale of Accounts Receivable
The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program (the “First Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “First Purchasers”). Under the First Program, certain U.S. originated trade accounts receivable are sold to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote entity, ADM Receivables, LLC (“ADM Receivables”). ADM Receivables transfers certain of the purchased accounts receivable to each of the First Purchasers together with a security interest in all of its right, title, and interest in the remaining purchased accounts receivable. In exchange, ADM Receivables receives a cash payment of up to $1.7 billion for the accounts receivable transferred. The First Program terminates on May 15, 2026, unless extended.
The Company also has an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Second Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “Second Purchasers”). Under the Second Program, certain non-U.S. originated trade accounts receivable are sold to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote entity, ADM Ireland Receivables Company (“ADM Ireland Receivables”). ADM Ireland Receivables transfers certain of the purchased accounts receivable to each of the Second Purchasers together with a security interest in all of its right, title, and interest in the remaining purchased accounts receivable. In exchange, ADM Ireland Receivables receives a cash payment of up to $1.3 billion (€1.1 billion) for the accounts receivables transferred. The Second Program terminates on May 19, 2026, unless extended.
Under the First and Second Programs (collectively, the “Programs”), ADM Receivables and ADM Ireland Receivables use the cash proceeds from the transfer of receivables to the First Purchasers and Second Purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”) and other consideration, as applicable, to finance the purchase of receivables from the Company and the ADM subsidiaries originating the receivables. The Company accounts for these transfers as sales of accounts receivable. The Company acts as a servicer for the transferred receivables.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of trade receivables transferred to the Purchasers under the Programs and derecognized from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets was $2.2 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively. Total receivables sold were $11.0 billion and $11.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Cash collections from customers on receivables sold were $10.7 billion and $11.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. All cash flows under the Programs are classified as operating activities because the cash received from the Purchasers upon both the sale and the collection of the receivables is not subject to significant interest rate risk given the short-term nature of the Company’s trade receivables. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, receivables pledged as collateral to the Purchasers was $450 million and $290 million, respectively.

ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Transfers of receivables under the Programs resulted in an expense of $10 million and $20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are classified as Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Note 15. Supplier Payable Programs
The Company has Supplier Payable Programs (“SPP”) with financial institutions which act as its paying agents for payables due to certain of its suppliers. The Company has neither an economic interest in a supplier’s participation in the SPP nor a direct financial relationship with the financial institutions, and has concluded that its obligations to the suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by their participation in the SPP. Accordingly, amounts associated with the SPP continue to be classified in trade payables in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and in operating activities in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the program require payment in full generally within 120 days of the invoice date.
Changes to the outstanding payment obligations were as follows (in millions).

Note 16. Legal Proceedings
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 its business, and at any given time, the Company has matters at various stages of resolution. The outcomes of these matters are not within the Company’s 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.
The Company’s estimated loss or range of loss with respect to loss contingencies may change from time to time, and it is reasonably possible the Company will incur actual losses in excess of the amounts currently accrued and such additional amounts may be material. While the Company continues to work with parties with respect to potential resolution, no assurance can be given that it will be successful in doing so and the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

Commodities Class Actions
On September 4, 2019, AOT Holding AG (“AOT”) filed a putative class action under the U.S. Commodities Exchange Act in federal district court in Urbana, Illinois, alleging that the Company sought to manipulate the benchmark price used to price and settle ethanol derivatives traded on futures exchanges. On March 16, 2021, AOT filed an amended complaint adding a second named plaintiff Maize Capital Group, LLC (“Maize”). AOT and Maize allege that members of the putative class collectively suffered damages calculated to be between approximately $500 million to over $2.0 billion as a result of the Company’s alleged actions. On July 14, 2020, Green Plains Inc. and its related entities (“GP”) filed a putative class action lawsuit, alleging substantially the same operative facts, in federal court in Nebraska, seeking to represent sellers of ethanol. On July 23, 2020, Midwest Renewable Energy, LLC (“MRE”) filed a putative class action in federal court in Illinois alleging substantially the same operative facts and asserting claims under the Sherman Act. On November 11, 2020, United Wisconsin Grain Producers LLC and several other ethanol producers (collectively, “UWGP”) filed a lawsuit in federal court in Illinois alleging substantially the same facts and asserting claims under the Sherman Act and Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin law. The court granted ADM’s motion to dismiss the MRE and UWGP complaints without prejudice on August 9, 2021 and September 28, 2021, respectively. On August 16, 2021, the court granted ADM’s motion to dismiss the GP complaint, dismissing one claim with prejudice and declining jurisdiction over the remaining state law claim. MRE filed an amended complaint on August 30, 2021, which ADM moved to dismiss on September 27, 2021. The court denied ADM’s motion to dismiss on September 26, 2023. UWGP filed an amended complaint on October 19, 2021, which the court dismissed on July 12, 2022. UWGP appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (the “Seventh Circuit”). On October 26, 2021, GP filed a new complaint in Nebraska federal district court, alleging substantially the same facts and asserting a claim for tortious interference with contractual relations. The case was transferred back to the Central District of Illinois, and on December 30, 2022, the court dismissed GP’s complaint with prejudice. GP appealed the dismissal, and on January 12, 2024, the appellate court vacated the dismissal and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings. On March 8, 2024, GP filed an amended complaint, which ADM moved to dismiss. On December 3, 2024, the court issued a decision on ADM’s motion to dismiss GP’s amended complaint, denying one ground for dismissal and certifying a question of law to the Nebraska Supreme Court before deciding the other ground. On July 18, 2025, the Seventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal of UWGP’s amended complaint. Following that decision, the district court ordered that ADM may file a renewed motion to dismiss MRE’s amended complaint, which ADM filed on October 6, 2025. Separately, on September 26, 2025, UWGP filed a complaint against ADM in Wisconsin state court asserting one claim for tortious interference with contractual relations. ADM moved to dismiss UWGP’s complaint in Wisconsin state court on November 24, 2025. On February 27, 2026, the Nebraska Supreme Court issued an opinion on the certified question regarding GP’s amended complaint, and the Illinois federal district court subsequently dismissed GP’s case with prejudice on March 12, 2026.
The Company denies liability and is vigorously defending itself in these actions. As these actions are in pretrial proceedings, the Company is unable at this time to predict the final outcome with any reasonable degree of certainty, but believes the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Shareholder Litigation
As previously disclosed, on January 24, 2024, following the Company’s announcement of an investigation relating to intersegment sales, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative securities fraud class action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company and certain of its current and former officers (collectively, the “Defendants”). On March 12, 2025, the court denied Defendants’ motions to dismiss. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against these claims. However, given the uncertainty of litigation, the Company is unable to predict the final outcome of this proceeding with any reasonable degree of certainty, nor does it currently have sufficient information to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss with respect to this matter.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, which can be found in Part I. Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements.
Company Overview
Archer-Daniels-Midland Company and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "ADM") unlocks the power of nature to enrich the quality of life. The Company is an essential global agricultural supply chain manager and processor, providing food security by connecting local needs with global capabilities. ADM is also a premier human and animal nutrition provider, as well as a leader in health and well-being products.
Reportable Segments
The Company’s operations are organized, managed, and classified into three reportable segments: Ag Services and Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions, and Nutrition. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified within either Corporate or Other Business.
See Part I. Item 1. Note 12. Segment Information of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for further details on the nature of our business and our reportable operating segments.
2026 Priorities
The Company established the following priorities for 2026 to help achieve its goal to continue to build and sustain long-term value creation for its shareholders and customers:
•Continuing to improve manufacturing costs - Driving manufacturing efficiencies and lower costs through process streamlining, further automation, and improved utilization rates.
•Reducing transaction costs through digitalization and Artificial Intelligence - Targeting reductions in the cost of executing transactions across our global footprint, including further digitizing workflows to reduce manual touchpoints, errors and cycle times, optimizing freight and logistics networks, and enhancing supply chain management.
•Investing in high-growth opportunities - Generating returns in the short-to-medium term and the long-term based on our value creation pathways of advanced nutrition, functional health, biosolutions, precision fermentation and decarbonization.
•Developing talent and capabilities - Ensuring our workforce has the skills and capabilities our business needs for today and for the future, including creating dedicated centers of capability in critical functional areas.
Sustainability
For more than 120 years, ADM has built its business on the strength of agriculture, innovation, and responsible stewardship. Today, sustainability is a core driver of ADM’s growth strategy, powering innovation, improving resilience, and unlocking new value across the global food system. The crops that ADM turns into an expansive array of products depend on healthy soil, water and air, and as the Company looks to the future, it is advancing efforts that enable and support agriculture and farmers, drive innovation and long-term value, and protect and strengthen vital supply chains.
33
ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ADM is focused on scaling regenerative practices in partnership with farmers by supporting them with tools, insights, and financial incentives to help their operations thrive. ADM is innovating to meet growing demand for sustainably sourced, bio-based products, creating new market opportunities for farmers whose crops deliver health, transparency, and environmental benefits. The Company is modernizing its own operations to improve efficiency, enhance competitiveness, reduce emissions, and help build a more resilient supply chain.
Significant Portfolio Actions and Targeted Actions to Deliver Cost Savings
On February 4, 2025, the Company announced targeted actions expected to deliver in excess of $500 million of aggregate cost savings in 3 to 5 years. These include cost optimization and portfolio simplification initiatives designed to help the Company achieve cost efficiencies. See Note 13. Asset Impairment, Exit, and Restructuring Costs of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding restructuring related charges.
ADM’s recent significant portfolio actions and announcements included:
•The launch of Two Rivers Premium Oils, LLC, a cottonseed joint venture, in January 2026 with Planters Cotton Oil Mill Inc. (“Planters”), a premier cottonseed processor. Planters contributed its crush plant in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, as well as additional origination and storage facilities located in the region, to the joint venture. ADM contributed its Memphis, Tennessee, cottonseed facility.
•The launch of Akralos Holding Company LLC, an animal feed joint venture, in March 2026 with Alltech Inc., a global leader in agriculture, of a North American animal feed joint venture to offer an industry-leading range of products and solutions for livestock, equine, backyard and leisure animals. Alltech and ADM contributed feed mills across the U.S. and Canada, along with respective portions of premix supplies.
Renewable Fuel Standard and Clean Fuel Production Credit
In the three months ended March 31, 2026, the U.S. biofuel market continued to be affected by regulatory developments including issuance by:
•U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of final Renewable Volume Obligations (“RVO”) for 2026 and 2027 under the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard that increased certain renewable fuel blending requirements.
•U.S. Treasury and IRS of proposed regulations relating to policy incentives under Section 45Z of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 45Z credits”), the Clean Fuel Production Credit, enacted under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, amended by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025. Section 45Z policy incentives provides for credits for clean transportation fuels produced and sold between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2029.
These developments have provided additional visibility into renewable fuel demand and incentive frameworks and are expected to affect renewable fuel blending economics, clean fuel credit values, and demand for certain agricultural feedstocks, which may benefit the Company’s ethanol and biofuel operations, as well as crush and grind margins. However, renewable fuel markets remain subject to ongoing regulatory, legislative, and implementation risks, including the timing and substance of final Section 45Z regulations, future policy actions, changes in credit values and shifts in blending economics which could continue to drive volatility in the Company’s results of operations.
Tariff Uncertainty
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize the imposition of tariffs by the executive branch. While the decision invalidated the presidential administration’s tariffs imposed under IEEPA, it did not establish a refund mechanism, which was subsequently set up by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) in April 2026. The Company is monitoring the refund process and related risks, and expects tariff related risks will not have significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
34
ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating Performance Indicators
The Company’s Ag Services and Oilseeds and Carbohydrate Solutions segments are principally agricultural commodity-based businesses where changes in selling prices move in relationship to changes in prices of the commodity-based agricultural raw materials. As a result, changes in agricultural commodity prices have relatively equal impacts on both Revenues and Cost of products sold. Mark-to-market and timing impacts represent changes in agricultural commodity pricing and foreign currency market factors and are not necessarily reflective of the operating performance of our business. Mark-to-market and timing impacts represent the estimated net unrealized gain and loss impacts of market factor changes on the valuation of certain of our merchandisable commodity inventories (including certain commodity inventories valued at the lower of cost or market), forward cash purchase and sales contracts, and futures and foreign currency contracts. The final mark-to-market and timing impacts will be realized when the underlying inventory, forward cash purchase and sales contracts, and futures and foreign currency contracts are settled.
The Company's Nutrition segment primarily utilizes agricultural commodities (or products derived from agricultural commodities) as raw materials. However, in these operations, agricultural commodity market price changes do not necessarily strongly correlate to changes in cost of products sold. As a result, changes in revenues may correspond to changes in margins.
The Company has consolidated subsidiaries in approximately 75 countries. For the majority of the Company’s subsidiaries located outside the United States, the local currency is the functional currency except for certain significant subsidiaries in Switzerland where the Euro is the functional currency, and Brazil and Argentina where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates for the applicable periods. For the majority of the Company’s business activities in Brazil and Argentina, the functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, certain transactions, including taxes, occur in local currency and require remeasurement to the functional currency. Changes in revenues are expected to be correlated to changes in expenses reported by the Company caused by fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Brazilian real, as compared to the U.S. dollar.
The Company measures its performance using key financial metrics including net earnings, adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), margins, segment operating profit, total segment operating profit, earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), and adjusted EBITDA. Some of these metrics are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. For further information, see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below.
The Company’s financial results can vary significantly due to changes in factors such as fluctuations in energy prices, weather conditions, crop plantings, government programs and policies, trade policies, changes in global demand, general global economic conditions, changes in standards of living, global production of similar and competitive crops, and geopolitical developments. Due to the unpredictable nature of these and other factors, the Company undertakes no responsibility for updating any forward-looking information contained within this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Market Factors Influencing Operations and Results in the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
The Company is subject to a variety of market factors which affect the Company's operating results, including those discussed below related to the three months ended March 31, 2026.
In the Ag Services and Oilseeds segment, geopolitical uncertainty, logistical and weather challenges combined with confirmation of U.S biofuel policy contributed to crush margin expansion in both soy and canola. North America benefited from higher urea prices, strong domestic demand from crush producers and continued sales to China. Transportation benefited from higher freight rates, which more than offset volume constraints. Global Trade was impacted by freight supply concerns, logistical dislocations and increased bunker costs. In the Crushing and Refined Products and Other (“RPO”) subsegments, confirmation of the U.S. biofuel policy and higher heating oil values expanded cash margins.
In the Carbohydrate Solutions segment, North America ethanol stocks tightened relative to last year as plants and supply chains slowed initially due to adverse weather conditions, combined with strong export demand and positive Renewable Volume Obligations (“RVO”) clarity. Geopolitical issues contributed to ethanol being priced competitive to higher competing oxygenates. North America liquid sweetener demand remained soft while starch demand showed early signs of recovery after a slow start to 2026. EMEA Starches and Sweeteners were pressured by demand softness across the food and industrial segments.
In the Nutrition segment, the Flavors market continued to grow with energy and ready to drink beverages continuing to perform strongly. The Dietary Supplements market also continued to grow and presents potential expansion opportunities as customer acceptance of postbiotics allows sales in a larger variety of segments (food and beverage). While shifts in customer sentiment and inflation continue to pose challenges, clean label and healthier categories are outpacing the broader industry. For Animal Nutrition, stabilizing commodity prices continued to support feed ration commodities, as well as additive markets.
Processed volumes by certain products for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousand metric tons).
| Three Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||

| Oilseeds | 9,299 | 9,091 | 208 | ||||||||||||||
| Corn | 4,542 | 4,581 | (39) | ||||||||||||||
The Company generally operates its production facilities, on an overall basis, at or near capacity, adjusting facilities individually, as needed, to react to the current margin environment and seasonal local supply and demand conditions. The increase in processed oilseeds volumes in the current year quarter was primarily related to improved North America and South America crush volumes due to improved utilization.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Earnings before income taxes was $384 million compared to $353 million in the prior year quarter. Results in the current year quarter were primarily driven by improved operating performance in the Carbohydrate Solutions segment and the Nutrition segment, partially offset by net negative mark-to-market and timing impacts, within the Ag Services and Oilseeds segment.
Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) increased $17 million from $747 million to $764 million driven by higher results in the Carbohydrate Solutions segment and the Nutrition segment, partially offset by lower results in the Ag Services and Oilseeds segment. Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) in the three months ended March 31, 2026 excluded net gains on the sale and contribution of assets of $62 million, the Company's share of Wilmar International Limited (“Wilmar”) non-recurring charges of $55 million, and $17 million of portfolio optimization and impairment charges. Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) in the three months ended March 31, 2025 excluded restructuring and net settlement contingencies of $49 million.
Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) is reconciled to earnings before income taxes, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below.

Revenues and cost of products sold in agricultural merchandising and processing businesses are significantly correlated to the underlying commodity prices and volumes. In periods of significant changes in market prices, the underlying performance of the Company is better evaluated by looking at margins since both revenues and cost of products sold, particularly in the Ag Services and Oilseeds segment, generally have a relatively equal impact from market price changes which generally result in an insignificant impact to gross profit.
Revenues increased $315 million to $20.5 billion, driven by higher sales prices ($743 million), partially offset by lower sales volumes ($428 million). Higher sales prices of soybeans, oils and biodiesel were partially offset by lower sales prices of corn. Lower sales volumes of corn, oils, and biodiesel were partially offset by higher sales volumes of sorghum and meal. Ag Services and Oilseeds revenues increased 2% to $16.0 billion, driven by higher sales prices ($625 million), partially offset by lower sales volumes ($299 million). Carbohydrate Solutions revenues of $2.6 billion were consistent year over year. Nutrition revenues decreased 1% to $1.8 billion.
Cost of products sold increased $273 million to $19.3 billion, primarily driven by commodity prices and higher manufacturing expenses.
Gross profit increased $42 million to $1.2 billion, primarily driven by an increase in margins of $112 million in Carbohydrate Solutions and $62 million in Nutrition, partially offset by a decrease in margins of $119 million in Ag Services and Oilseeds.
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $29 million to $961 million, primarily driven by higher employee compensation costs, partially offset by lower third party service costs.

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs decreased $26 million to $12 million. Charges in the current and prior year quarter primarily consisted of restructuring charges. See Note 13. Asset Impairment, Exit, and Restructuring Costs within “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $55 million to $89 million driven by lower earnings from the Company’s investments in Wilmar and Olenex Holdings B.V., partially offset by higher earnings from the Company’s investment in LSCP, LLLP and SoyVen Holding B.V.
Interest and investment income decreased $13 million to $125 million, primarily driven by lower tax-related income and credits in Corporate.
Interest expense decreased $9 million to $149 million, driven by lower interest rates and balances on the Company’s commercial paper programs.
Other income — net increased $51 million to $70 million, primarily driven by gains on sale and contribution of assets. See Note 11. Other Income - Net within “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Income tax expense increased $20 million to $81 million. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was 21.1% compared to 17.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior year quarter is driven by the impact of discrete tax items.

In the Ag Services and Oilseeds segment, segment operating profit decreased 34%. Current period results included net negative mark-to-market and timing impacts of approximately $275 million, of which approximately 10%, 70%, and 20% were attributable to our Ag Services, Crushing, and Refined Products and Other subsegment operating profit results, respectively. The Ag Services subsegment operating profit increased 26% compared to the prior year quarter supported by higher export activity from North America, which included increased soybean and sorghum trade with China and strong corn exports. Results also reflected a favorable comparison to the prior year quarter, which was impacted by certain non-recurring export duties. The Crushing subsegment operating profit was lower by $126 million compared to the prior year quarter, driven by negative mark-to-market timing impacts, partially offset by improvement in plant processed volumes in the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, soybean meal sales remained strong throughout the quarter. The RPO subsegment operating profit decreased 36% when compared to the prior year quarter, driven by negative mark-to-market and timing which stemmed from the strengthening margin environment. Wilmar earnings decreased by $6 million to $66 million in the current year quarter.
In the Carbohydrate Solutions segment, segment operating profit increased 48% compared to the prior year quarter. The Starches and Sweeteners subsegment operating profit was higher compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher ethanol margins related to ADM’s corn wet-milling ethanol operations, which were partially offset by lower global liquid sweeteners and starches volumes and margins. The Vantage Corn Processors subsegment operating profit increased $94 million compared to the prior year quarter driven by strengthening ethanol margins, supported by effective risk management and policy incentives.
In the Nutrition segment, segment operating profit increased 42% due to improved performance in both Human and Animal Nutrition subsegments. Human Nutrition subsegment operating profit was higher compared to prior year quarter, as a result of higher Flavors sales, including foreign exchange gains, and the continued recovery of the Decatur East plant. Animal Nutrition subsegment operating profit was higher compared to the prior year quarter driven by portfolio actions and increased focus on higher-margin product lines, on-going cost optimization efforts, and foreign exchange gains.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain “non-GAAP” financial measures as defined by the SEC. These are measures of performance not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, GAAP reported measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this section.
The Company uses adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and total segment operating profit, non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC, to evaluate the Company’s financial performance.
Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings adjusted for the effects on net earnings of specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables. Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as diluted EPS adjusted for the effects on reported diluted EPS of specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables.
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest on borrowings, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest on borrowings, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables.
Total segment operating profit is defined as ADM’s consolidated earnings before income taxes, adjusted for Other Business, Corporate, and specified items as more fully described in the reconciliation tables.
Management believes that adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and total segment operating profit are useful measures of the Company’s performance because they provide investors additional information about the Company’s operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. Adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and total segment operating profit are not intended to replace or be an alternative to net earnings, diluted EPS, earnings before income taxes and cash flows from operating activities, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.
The table below provides a reconciliation of net earnings (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) to adjusted net earnings (a non-GAAP measure) and diluted EPS (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) to adjusted diluted EPS (a non-GAAP measure) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s objective is to have sufficient liquidity, balance sheet strength, and financial flexibility to fund the operating and capital requirements of a capital-intensive agricultural commodity-based business. The Company depends on access to credit markets, which can be impacted by its credit rating and factors outside of the Company’s control, to fund its working capital needs and capital expenditures.
The primary source of funds to finance the Company’s operations, capital expenditures, and advancement of its growth strategy is cash generated by operations and lines of credit, including a commercial paper borrowing facility and accounts receivable securitization programs. In addition, the Company believes it has access to funds from public and private equity and debt capital markets in both U.S. and international markets.
At March 31, 2026, the Company’s capital resources included shareholders’ equity of $22.8 billion and lines of credit, including the accounts receivable securitization programs described below, totaling $12.4 billion, of which $8.4 billion was unused. Of the Company’s total lines of credit, $5.1 billion supported the combined U.S. and European commercial paper borrowing programs. At March 31, 2026, there was $1.6 billion of commercial paper outstanding.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $591 million of cash and cash equivalents, $315 million of which was cash held by foreign subsidiaries whose undistributed earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. Based on the Company’s historical ability to generate sufficient cash flows from its U.S. operations and unused and available U.S. credit capacity of $4.1 billion, the Company has asserted that these funds are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had total available liquidity of $9.0 billion comprised of cash and cash equivalents and unused lines of credit. The Company believes that cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and unused lines of credit will be sufficient to meet its ongoing liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Operating Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $150 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Net cash used in operating activities was $342 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by changes in net working capital. Changes in net working capital were primarily driven by payables to brokerage customers, accrued expenses and other payables and trade payables, partially offset by changes in inventory and other current assets.
Changes in Payables to brokerage customers resulted in a cash inflow of $1.3 billion in the current year quarter compared to an outflow of $79 million in the prior year quarter. The inflow in the current year quarter is driven by increased customer trading and margin requirements in the Company’s futures commission and brokerage business.
Changes in Accrued expenses and other payables resulted in a cash inflow of $940 million in the current year quarter compared to an outflow of $244 million in the prior year quarter. The inflow in the current year quarter is driven by changing market conditions impacting the valuation of derivative contracts.
Changes in Trade payables resulted in a cash inflow of $245 million in the current year quarter compared to an outflow of $423 million in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by higher commodity pricing in the current year quarter.
Changes in Inventories resulted in a cash outflow of $1.4 billion in the current year quarter compared to an inflow of $137 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting higher commodity pricing in the current year quarter.
Changes in Other current assets resulted in a cash outflow of $552 million in the current year quarter compared to an inflow of $263 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting increased cash and securities deposited with clearing houses and brokers, for increased customer margin requirements, within the Company’s futures commission and brokerage business and changing market conditions impacting valuation of derivative contracts.
Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used in investing activities was $128 million and $129 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included additions to property, plant, and equipment of $194 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of assets and cash inflows from certain affiliates.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included additions to property, plant and equipment of $291 million and a business acquisition, net of cash acquired, of $90 million, partially offset by proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $248 million.
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash provided by financing activities was $612 million and $587 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 included net borrowings under short-term credit agreements of $919 million and $863 million, respectively.
Dividends paid for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 were $254 million and $247 million, respectively.
