Overview

Greg Heckman, Bunge's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our team closed out a year of significant achievements for Bunge. We made great progress on integration planning for our announced combination with Viterra and, having received the vast majority of regulatory approvals, we expect to close the transaction soon. We continued to make productivity improvements from our investments in the business while returning significant capital to shareholders. And we took meaningful steps in sustainability by achieving our 100% traceability and monitoring targets in Brazil.

"While we didn't end the year as we expected and our forward visibility is limited by the increased geopolitical uncertainty, we are confident that the work we've done to further strengthen our business will allow us to continue to create value for all stakeholders. We look forward to using our more diverse platform across crops and geographies to connect farmers to consumers to deliver essential food, feed and fuel to the world."

Cash Flow

	Year Ended
(US$ in millions)	Dec 31, 2024			Dec 31, 2023
Cash provided by (used for) operating activities	$	1,900		$	3,308
Certain reconciling items to Adjusted funds from operations⁽⁴⁾		(218	)		(842	)
Adjusted funds from operations⁽⁴⁾	$	1,682		$	2,466

Cash provided by operations during the year was $1,900 million compared to $3,308 million in the prior year. The reduction of cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by lower reported net income and net changes in working capital. Adjusted funds from operations (FFO) was $1,682 million compared to $2,466 million in the prior year.⁽⁴⁾

Income Taxes

The decrease in income tax expense for both the quarter and full year was primarily due to lower pre-tax income and earnings mix. Adjusting for notable items and mark-to-market timing differences, the full year adjusted effective income tax rate was approximately 23% for both the current and prior year.⁽⁵⁾

Outlook⁽⁶⁾

Taking into account the current margin and macro environment and forward curves, we are forecasting full-year 2025 adjusted EPS of approximately $7.75. This forecast excludes announced acquisitions that are expected to close during the year.

In Agribusiness, full-year results are forecasted to be down from last year due to lower results in Processing where higher results in South America are expected to be more than offset by lower results in North America and European softseeds. Results in Merchandising are forecasted to be down slightly from last year.

In Refined and Specialty Oils, full-year results are expected to be down from last year primarily driven by a more balanced supply and demand environment in North America.

In Milling, full-year results are expected to be up from last year.

In Corporate and Other, full-year results are expected to be up from last year.

Additionally, the Company expects the following for 2025: an adjusted annual effective tax rate in the range of 21% to 25%; net interest expense in the range of $250 to $280 million; capital expenditures in the range of $1.5 to $1.7 billion; and depreciation and amortization of approximately $490 million.

Definition and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release contains certain "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Bunge has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures below. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Total EBIT and Adjusted Total EBIT

Bunge uses earnings before interest and tax ("EBIT") to evaluate the operating performance of its individual reportable segments as well as Corporate and Other results. Total EBIT excludes EBIT attributable to noncontrolling interests. Bunge also uses Core Segment EBIT, Non-core Segment EBIT, Corporate and Other EBIT and Total EBIT to evaluate the operating performance of Bunge's Core reportable segments, Non-core reportable segments and Total reportable segments together with Corporate and Other activities. 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 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 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, Corporate and Other EBIT, and Total EBIT, respectively.

Core Segment EBIT, Non-core Segment EBIT, Corporate and Other EBIT, Total EBIT, Adjusted Core Segment EBIT, Adjusted Non-core Segment EBIT, Adjusted Corporate and Other EBIT and Adjusted Total 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 operating profitability, since the measures allow for an evaluation of performance without regard to 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) attributable to Bunge

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. Bunge's management believes Adjusted Net income (loss) is a useful measure of the Company's profitability.

We also have presented projected Adjusted Net income per share for 2025. This information is provided only on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliation to projected Net Income per share for 2025, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The most directly comparable U.S. 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.

Below is a reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, to Total EBIT, and Adjusted Total EBIT:

	Quarter Ended December 31,						Year Ended December 31,

Adjusted Total EBIT	$	445		$	837		$	2,017		$	3,031

Below is a reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, to Adjusted Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge:

	Quarter Ended December 31,						Year Ended December 31,
(US$ in millions, except per share data)		2024			2023			2024			2023
Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge	$	602		$	616		$	1,137		$	2,243
Adjustment for Mark-to-market timing difference		(172	)		(160	)		102			(356	)
Adjusted for certain (gains) and charges:
Gain on sale of equity method investment		(188	)		—			(188	)		—
Acquisition and integration costs		58			49			243			122
Impairment of equity method and other investments		—			—			19			36
Ukraine-Russia war		(5	)		—			(5	)		(25	)
Fixed asset impairment		—			28			—			28
Discontinued trademarks		—			12			—			12
Adjusted Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge^(a)	$	295		$	545		$	1,308		$	2,060
Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted^{(b) (7)}		138			147			142			151
Adjusted Net income (loss) per share - diluted⁽⁷⁾	$	2.13		$	3.70		$	9.19		$	13.66

(a) As of July 1, 2024, Bunge changed its methodology for calculating non-GAAP interim period Adjusted Effective Tax Rate ("Adjusted ETR"), including quarter ended December 31, 2024 results. This change has no impact on Bunge's methodology for calculating the non-GAAP forecasted and actual annual Adjusted ETR. Therefore, the change had no impact to the year ended December 31, 2024 results. Management believes this methodology is better aligned to interim period US GAAP ETR calculations and reporting, and represents an improvement over the prior method, which calculated tax on items excluded from Adjusted Net Income (loss) attributable to Bunge on a discrete basis in each interim period.

(b) There were less than 1 million anti-dilutive outstanding contingently issuable restricted stock units excluded from the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

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's management believes the 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, and restricted cash, 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) attributable to Bunge; see "Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge to Adjusted Net Income (loss) attributable to Bunge" 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 2025. This information is provided without reconciliation to projected effective income tax rate for 2025, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, due to the inability to quantify the amounts necessary to calculate projected net income per share, as described above. These amounts could result in significant adjustments from projected effective income tax rate for 2025.

Notes

(1)

A reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, to Net income (loss) is as follows:

	Quarter ended December 31,				Year Ended December 31,
(US$ in millions)		2024		2023		2024		2023
Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge	$	602	$	616	$	1,137	$	2,243
EBIT attributable to noncontrolling interest		25		43		40		86
Noncontrolling interest share of interest and tax		3		1		11		8
Net income (loss)	$	630	$	660	$	1,188	$	2,337

(2)		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; global trading and distribution of grains and oils; 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.
(3)		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, RMI, and related futures contracts associated with our committed future operating capacity and sales. 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.
(4)		A reconciliation of Cash provided by (used for) operating activities to Adjusted funds from operations (FFO) is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
(US$ in millions)		2024			2023
Cash provided by (used for) operating activities	$	1,900		$	3,308
Foreign exchange gain (loss) on net debt		(174	)		281
Working capital changes		(95	)		(673	)
Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests		(51	)		(94	)
Mark-to-market timing difference, after tax		102			(356	)
Adjusted FFO	$	1,682		$	2,466

(5)

A reconciliation of the U.S. GAAP effective income tax rate ("ETR") to the Adjusted effective income tax rate is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
(US$ in millions)	2024		2023
U.S. GAAP ETR - Net income	22.1	%	23.4	%
Impact of noncontrolling interest	0.4	%	0.6	%
U.S. GAAP ETR - Net income attributable to Bunge	22.5	%	24.0	%
Impact of Mark-to-market timing differences	1.5	%	(0.4	)%
Impact of Certain gains and (charges)	(0.6	)%	(0.9	)%
Adjusted effective income tax rate	23.4	%	22.7	%

(6)		We have not presented a comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure for any full-year 2025 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.
(7)		On November 1, 2023, Bunge Global SA completed the change of its jurisdiction of incorporation of its group holding company from Bermuda to Switzerland (the "Redomestication"). The Redomestication, which was approved by Bunge Limited shareholders on October 5, 2023, was effected pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Bermuda law. Each common share of Bunge Limited was cancelled in exchange for an equal number and par value of registered shares of Bunge Global SA (the "registered shares"). References to the terms "share," "common share," or "registered share" refer to Bunge Limited common shares prior to the Redomestication and Bunge Global SA registered shares after the Redomestication, unless otherwise specified.
