Bunge Announces Reporting Segment Changes and Recast Outlook
- Changes follow the merger with Viterra to align with the combined company's value chain operating structure
-
Provides estimated FY25 adjusted EPS outlook in the range of
~$7.30 to$7.60 for the combined company, reflecting an expected second half adjusted EPS in the range of$4.00 to$4.25 -
Q3 2025 results to be reported on
November 5, 2025
“We are also updating our full-year 2025 adjusted EPS outlook to include the addition of Viterra to our results following the completion of our combination. Our outlook reflects an estimated result for the third quarter, as well as our current view of the margin and macro environments' potential impact on the fourth quarter. We look forward to providing a more detailed outlook on our third quarter earnings call on Nov. 5.”
Beginning with the third quarter 2025,
- Soybean Processing and Refining
- Softseed Processing and Refining
- Other Oilseeds Processing and Refining
- Grain Merchandising and Milling
The changes in segment reporting are primarily a result of the realignment of oilseeds operations into oilseeds processing and refining by commodity type and combining grain merchandising and milling operations into one reportable segment. The new segment reporting reflects the corresponding change in how the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (its chief operating decision maker) reviews financial information in order to allocate resources and assess performance.
Further,
- Soybean Processing and Refining volumes include (1) oilseed volumes processed (crushed) during a reporting period, which approximate sales volumes to third parties during the same period (2) merchandised volumes, which represent sales volumes of soybeans to third-party customers during a reporting period and (3) a supplemental refined oil production volume, which will also be provided representing the total refined volume during a reporting period.
- Softseed Processing and Refining volumes include (1) oilseed volumes processed (crushed) during a reporting period, which approximate sales volumes to third parties during the same period (2) merchandised volumes, which represent sales volumes of softseeds to third-party customers during a reporting period and (3) a supplemental refined oil production volume, which will also be provided representing the total refined volume during a reporting period.
- Other Oilseeds Processing and Refining volumes represent sales volumes to third-party customers.
- Grain Merchandising and Milling volumes represent sales volumes to third-party customers.
In conjunction with the changes in segment reporting, certain
To illustrate the impact of the new segment and volume reporting structure, the recast of certain financial information for the four quarters and fiscal year ended 2024 and first two quarters of 2025, together with the corresponding financial information previously reported, accompanies this press release.
Outlook
