“Our actions in the first half of the year reflect ADM’s continuous efforts to create shareholder value. We are diversifying our

Results of Operations
Ag Services delivered its fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year increases in operating profits.
In Merchandising and Handling, North America Grain results increased significantly over the prior year with strong carries in
wheat, corn and soybeans. Global Trade generated solid results and was up over the year-ago quarter, benefiting from improved
margins, favorable timing effects and actions to improve performance.
Transportation decreased from the prior-year period, primarily due to river conditions and lower freight rates.
Milling and Other delivered solid results on steady margins and favorable merchandising.
Corn Processing results were up from the year-ago quarter. Higher volumes and improved margins in North America Sweeteners and
Starches contributed to another strong performance. Bioproducts results increased over a weak prior year, with an improvement in
ethanol margins.
Oilseeds Processing benefited from the diversity of its feedstocks, products and geographies; however, overall results were down
compared to the second quarter of 2016. Weak margins in both global soybean crush and South American origination impacted Crushing
and Origination results. Softseeds earnings were higher as a result of leveraging the business’s global flex capacity to capitalize
on margin opportunities.
Refining, Packaging, Biodiesel and Other had solid results in all regions, with South America refined and packaged oils and the
global peanut business contributing to strong performance in the quarter. North America Biodiesel results also improved over the
prior-year quarter, which was impacted by unfavorable timing effects.
Asia experienced another good quarter, growing significantly over the prior-year period due both to ADM’s increased ownership
stake in, and strong results from, Wilmar.
WFSI was in line with the prior-year quarter. WILD Flavors delivered double-digit operating profit growth with strong sales
globally. Specialty Ingredients was down for the quarter.
Other Items of Note
As additional information to help clarify underlying business performance, the tables on page 9 include both reported EPS as
well as adjusted EPS excluding significant timing effects.
Segment operating profit of $642 million for the quarter includes charges of $26 million related to asset impairment,
restructuring and settlement activities, and a net pretax gain on the sale of assets and businesses of $8 million. Prior-year
segment operating profit included asset impairment and restructuring charges of $10 million and a net pretax gain on the sale of
assets and businesses of $118 million.
In Corporate results, Minority Interest and Other charges increased from the prior year primarily due to updated portfolio
investment valuations in CIP, and Unallocated Costs were up due to continued investments in ADM’s business transformation program
and related IT costs, and in research and development.
The 28 percent effective tax rate reflects an approximately 1 percent decrease due primarily to changes in the forecast
geographic mix of earnings and the effect of changes in discrete items year over year, partially offset by the expiration of U.S.
tax credits including the biodiesel tax credit.

| Segment operating profit is ADM’s consolidated income from operations before income
tax excluding corporate items. Adjusted segment operating profit, a non-GAAP measure, is segment operating profit excluding
specified items and timing effects. Timing effects relate to hedge ineffectiveness and significant mark-to-market hedge timing
effects. Management believes that segment operating profit and adjusted segment operating profit are useful measures of ADM’s
performance because they provide investors information about ADM’s business unit performance excluding corporate overhead costs
as well as specified items and significant timing effects. Segment operating profit and adjusted segment operating profit are
not measures of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to income before
income taxes, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or any other measure of consolidated operating results under
U.S. GAAP. |

Current quarter and YTD changes in the Company’s LIFO reserves of $9 million pretax

effective income tax rate. Prior quarter and YTD changes in the Company’s LIFO reserves of $88 million pretax ($55 million
after tax), and $102 million pretax, ($63 million after tax), respectively, tax effected using the Company’s U.S. effective
income tax rate. |
| (b) |
|
Current period gain of $8 million pretax ($22 million loss after tax) related to the sale of the
crop risk services business partially offset by an adjustment of the proceeds of the 2015 sale of the cocoa business, tax
effected using the applicable tax rates. Prior period gain of $118 million pretax ($101 million after tax), primarily related
to recovery of loss provisions and gain related to the sale of the Company’s Brazilian sugar ethanol facilities, realized
contingent consideration on the sale of the Company’s equity investment in Gruma S.A.B de C.V. in December 2012, and
revaluation of the remaining interest to settlement value in conjunction with the acquisition of the remaining interest in
Amazon Flavors, tax effected using the applicable tax rates.
|
| (c) |
|
Current quarter and YTD charges of $28 million pretax ($21 million after tax) and $38
million pretax ($29 million after tax), respectively, related to impairment of certain long-lived assets, restructuring
charges, and a settlement charge, tax effected using the applicable tax rates. Prior quarter and YTD charges of $12 million
pretax ($8 million after tax) and $25 million pretax ($16 million after tax), respectively, primarily related to impairment of
certain long-lived assets and restructuring charges, tax effected using the applicable tax rates. |
| (d) |
|
Certain discrete tax adjustments unrelated to current period earnings related to
valuation allowances totaling $4 million. |
| (e) |

Current quarter and YTD timing effect gains of $2 million pretax ($1 million after
tax) and $9 million pretax ($5 million after tax), respectively, tax effected using the Company's U.S. effective income tax
rate. |
| |
| Adjusted EPS and adjusted EPS excluding timing effects reflect ADM’s
fully diluted EPS after removal of the effect on EPS as reported of certain specified items and timing effects as more fully
described above. Management believes that these are useful measures of ADM’s performance because they provide investors
additional information about ADM’s operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better
period-to-period comparability. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace or be an alternative to EPS as
reported, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or any other measures of operating results under GAAP. Earnings
amounts described above have been divided by the company’s diluted shares outstanding for each respective period in order to
arrive at an adjusted EPS amount for each specified item and timing effect. |

Adjusted ROIC is Adjusted ROIC earnings divided by adjusted invested capital. Adjusted ROIC
earnings is ADM’s net earnings adjusted for the after tax effects of interest expense, changes in the LIFO reserve and other
specified items. Adjusted invested capital is the sum of ADM’s equity (excluding noncontrolling interests) and
interest-bearing liabilities adjusted for the after tax effect of the LIFO reserve, and other specified items. Management
believes Adjusted ROIC is a useful financial measure because it provides investors information about ADM’s returns excluding
the impacts of LIFO inventory reserves and other specified items and increases period-to-period comparability of underlying
business performance. Management uses Adjusted ROIC to measure ADM’s performance by comparing Adjusted ROIC to its weighted
average cost of capital (WACC). Adjusted ROIC, Adjusted ROIC earnings and Adjusted invested capital are non-GAAP financial
measures and are not intended to replace or be alternatives to GAAP financial measures.
