−Removed: Market Factors Influencing Operations or Results in the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
−Removed: The Company is subject to a variety of market factors which affect the Company's operating results.
−Removed: In Ag Services and Oilseeds, tight global stocks driven by a short crop in South America and good global demand drove commodity prices higher.
−Removed: The conflict in Ukraine resulted in even tighter global stocks of commodities and created high volatility which had a positive impact on North and South American origination prices.
−Removed: Global Trade results were driven by market disconnects, tight supply, strong destination marketing margins, and firm ocean freight rates.
−Removed: North American origination was negatively impacted by weather-related supply disruption and delayed planting due to unfavorable weather which negatively impacted fertilizer volume.
−Removed: Crushing margins benefited from strong protein and renewable diesel demand and tight oilseeds stocks.
−Removed: In Refined Products and Other, margins were driven by strong oil demand and tight supply with volatile energy markets driving up biodiesel margins.
−Removed: In Carbohydrate Solutions, demand for starches and sweeteners was solid with margins remaining steady despite higher input costs.
−Removed: Domestic ethanol demand remained at or above the prior year, but below pre-pandemic levels.
−Removed: Export ethanol demand was strong, driven by favorable blending economics and government incentives.
−Removed: Industry production of ethanol returned to pre-pandemic levels as gasoline consumption remained robust even at higher gas prices.
−Removed: Corn milling margins benefited from strong co-product results, as prices for oil and feed products rose in line with higher underlying corn prices.
−Removed: Corn costs were volatile and higher, in part due to a relatively low projected corn stocks-to-use ratio and uncertainty caused by the conflict in Ukraine.
−Removed: Nutrition benefited from overall strong demand in various various food, beverage, and dietary supplement categories.
−Removed: In Human Nutrition, strong demand for flavors, flavor systems, specialty proteins, bioactives, and fibers were partially offset by higher energy and raw material costs.
−Removed: Margins remained robust on strong price actions.
−Removed: In Animal Nutrition, amino acids pricing and margins improved due to a tighter global supply environment, partially offset by the devaluation of certain currencies and weak demand in other product lines with some customers cutting products out of formulation due to increased ingredient, freight, and energy costs.
−Removed: ADM’s productivity initiatives are improving the Company’s capabilities to help mitigate the impact of inflation.
−Removed: Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
−Removed: Net earnings attributable to controlling interests increased $0.9 billion to $2.3 billion.
−Removed: Segment operating profit increased $1.1 billion to $3.4 billion and included a net charge of $26 million consisting of asset impairment, restructuring, and settlement charges of $27 million and a gain on sale of assets of $1 million.

−Removed: Adjusted segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) increased $1.0 billion to $3.4 billion due primarily to higher results in all businesses except in Vantage Corn Processors.
−Removed: Corporate results in the current and prior periods were a net charge of $0.6 billion.
−Removed: Corporate results in the current period included a mark-to-market gain of $4 million on the conversion option of the exchangeable bonds issued in August 2020.

−Removed: Income taxes of $486 million increased $242 million.
−Removed: The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 17.4% compared to 14.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
−Removed: The change in the rate was due primarily to changes in the geographic mix of pretax earnings and the impact of discrete tax items.
−Removed: Analysis of Statements of Earnings
−Removed: Processed volumes by product for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows (in metric tons):
−Removed: Six Months Ended
−Removed: (In thousands) 2022 2021 Change
−Removed: Oilseeds 16,699 17,738 (1,039)
−Removed: Corn 9,588 8,692 896
−Removed: Total 26,287 26,430 (143)
−Removed: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: The overall decrease in oilseeds processed volumes was primarily related to decreased crush rates resulting from the decline in global demand for rapeseed, temporarily idled facility in Paraguay due to crop failure, and the indefinite shutdown of a Ukraine facility since February 2022.
−Removed: The overall increase in corn was primarily related to two dry mill facilities that were idled since April 2020 and restarted in April 2021, partially offset by the sale of the Peoria, Illinois facility in November 2021 and logistical challenges surrounding railcar availability in the second quarter of 2022.
−Removed: Revenues by segment for the six months ended six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

−Removed: Other Business 208 202 6
−Removed: Total $ 50,934 $ 41,819 $ 9,115
−Removed: Revenues and cost of products sold in a commodity merchandising and processing business are significantly correlated to the underlying commodity prices and volumes.
−Removed: During periods of significant changes in commodity prices, the underlying performance of the Company is better evaluated by looking at margins because both revenues and cost of products sold, particularly in Ag Services and Oilseeds, generally have a relatively equal impact from commodity price changes, which generally result in an insignificant impact to gross profit.
−Removed: Revenues increased $9.1 billion to $50.9 billion due to higher sales prices ($9.9 billion), partially offset by lower sales volumes ($0.8 billion).
−Removed: Higher sales prices of oils, soybeans, corn, wheat, farming materials, meal, biodiesel, flours, and alcohol, and higher sales volumes of milled rice and alcohol, were partially offset by lower volumes of soybeans, oils, corn, and wheat.

−Removed: Nutrition revenues increased 19% to $3.9 billion due to higher sales prices ($0.4 billion) and higher sales volumes ($0.2 billion).
−Removed: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
−Removed: Cost of products sold increased $8.1 billion to $46.9 billion due principally to higher average commodity costs.
−Removed: Manufacturing expenses increased $0.4 billion to $3.3 billion due principally to higher energy costs, operating supplies, and maintenance.
−Removed: Foreign currency translation decreased revenues and cost of goods sold by $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.
−Removed: Gross profit increased $1.0 billion or 33% to $4.0 billion due principally to higher results in Ag Services and Oilseeds ($745 million), Starches and Sweeteners ($203 million), and Nutrition ($145 million), partially offset by lower results in Vantage Corn Processors ($78 million) and Other ($23 million) These factors are explained in the segment operating profit discussion on page 48.
−Removed: Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $0.2 billion to $1.6 billion due principally to higher IT and project-related expenses, higher insurance costs, increased provisions for bad debt, amortization of intangibles from new acquisitions, and higher salaries and benefit costs.
−Removed: Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs decreased $80 million to $2 million.
−Removed: Charges in the current period were not material.
−Removed: Charges in the prior period consisted of $54 million of impairments related to certain long-lived assets and $24 million of restructuring charges, presented as specified items within segment operating profit, and $4 million of restructuring charges in Corporate.
−Removed: Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased $108 million to $396 million due primarily to higher earnings from the Company’s investments in Wilmar, Almidones Mexicanos S.A., Olenex, SoyVen, and Stratas Foods LLC.
−Removed: Investment income increased $28 million to $91 million due primarily to higher interest income, partially offset by lower revaluation gains of $36 million compared to $40 million in the prior period.
−Removed: Interest expense increased $38 million to $165 million due to higher debt balances and increased short-term rates on the Company’s U.S.
−Removed: and European commercial paper borrowing programs.
−Removed: Interest expense in the current period also included a $4 million mark-to-market gain adjustment related to the conversion option of the exchangeable bonds issued in August 2020 compared to a $10 million mark-to-market gain adjustment in the prior period.
−Removed: Other income-net increased from a net expense of $16 million in the prior period to a net income of $116 million.
−Removed: Income in the current period included gains on disposals of individually insignificant assets in the ordinary course of business, the non-service components of net pension benefit income, a $50 million one-time payment from the USDA Biofuel Producer Recovery Program, foreign exchange gains, and other expense.
−Removed: Expense in the prior period included a non-cash pension settlement charge of $82 million related to the purchase of group annuity contracts that irrevocably transferred the future benefit obligations and annuity administration for certain salaried and hourly retirees and terminated vested participants under the ADM Retirement Plan and ADM Pension Plan for Hourly-Wage Employees to independent third parties, partially offset by gains on the sale of certain assets and disposals of individually insignificant assets in the ordinary course of business, the non-service components of net pension benefit income, foreign exchange gains, and other income.
