- Per the results of the impairment testing within the Nutrition reportable segment for the year ended December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Animal Nutrition and Human Nutrition reporting units evaluated for impairment using a quantitative assessment was in excess of 7% and 32% of its carrying value, respectively, and no impairment was recorded for either of the Nutrition reporting units.
- Total segment operating profit (a non-GAAP measure) in 2023 excluded asset impairment, restructuring, and net settlement contingencies of $361 million, and a gain on the sale of certain assets of $17 million.
- Analysis of Results of Operations Earnings before income taxes decreased 47% or $2.0 billion, to $2.3 billion, primarily driven by lower pricing and execution margins, as well as a $461 million impairment charge related to the Company’s investment in Wilmar, partially offset by increased sales volumes.
- 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. 39 Table of Contents ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND COMPANY MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 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.

- The overall increase in oilseeds processed volumes was primarily related to improved crush capacity in North America, driven by the Company's new facility in Spiritwood, North Dakota, and in EMEA in 2024 compared to lower crush rates in the previous year due to inclement weather, unplanned downtime, and reduced capacity due to the Russian-Ukraine war.
- 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. 35 Table of Contents ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND COMPANY MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were as follows (in millions): 2024 2023 Change Ag Services and Oilseeds Ag Services $ 44,083 $ 47,420 $ (3,337) Crushing 11,836 14,020 (2,184) Refined Products and Other 10,597 11,986 (1,389) Total Ag Services and Oilseeds 66,516 73,426 (6,910) Carbohydrate Solutions Starches and Sweeteners 8,587 9,885 (1,298) Vantage Corn Processors 2,647 2,989 (342) Total Carbohydrate Solutions 11,234 12,874 (1,640) Nutrition Human Nutrition 3,944 3,634 310 Animal Nutrition 3,405 3,577 (172) Total Nutrition 7,349 7,211 138 Total Segment Revenues 85,099 93,511 (8,412) Other Business 431 424 7 Total Revenues $ 85,530 $ 93,935 $ (8,405) Revenues and cost of products sold in agricultural merchandising and processing businesses are significantly correlated to the underlying commodity prices and volumes.
- Charges in 2023 consisted of $137 million of impairments related to goodwill in the Animal Nutrition reporting unit, $108 million of impairments related to property, plant, and equipment and an equity method investment, $64 million of impairments related to customer list and discontinued Animal Nutrition trademarks, $27 million of reportable segment specific restructuring charges, and $6 million of restructuring in Corporate.
- Interest and investment income increased $63 million to $562 million driven by lower investment valuation losses in 2024 of $16 million, a decrease of $60 million when compared to the prior year, and higher interest income within Ag Services and Oilseeds ($30 million, compared to the prior year of $0), driven by bond investments within South America, partially offset by lower net interest income (decrease of $36 million) for ADM Investor Services due to lower customer balances.
