• Overview

Greg Heckman, Bunge’s Chief Executive Officer said, "The Bunge team delivered a strong first quarter, executing with the discipline and speed that define this organization, while navigating one of the more rapidly changing market environments in recent years. Amid geopolitical uncertainty and shifting trade flows, our global platform performed as designed, enabling us to capture opportunities, manage risks, and connect farmers to consumers with the products, services, and solutions they need as they face increasing complexity.

Looking ahead, visibility remains limited given ongoing macroeconomic conditions. However, our balanced footprint and diversified value chains position us to adapt. The long-term fundamentals underpinning demand for our products and services remain strong, and we are well equipped to continue serving customers at both ends of the value chain while delivering for all our stakeholders."

• Financial Highlights

• First Quarter Results

Reportable Segments

Soybean Processing and Refining

Higher results were primarily driven by South America, reflecting stronger processing performance in Argentina and Brazil. North America also delivered higher results across both processing and refining. In the destination value chain, higher origination in Brazil was more than offset by lower processing results in Europe and Asia. Results from global oils merchandising activities also increased, reflecting strong execution.

Higher processed volumes were largely attributed to the combined company’s expanded production capacity in Argentina. Processed volumes were also higher in North America and Brazil. Higher merchandised volumes reflected the combined company’s expanded soybean origination footprint.

Softseed Processing and Refining

Results were higher across all regions. In Argentina, results increased in both processing and refining. In North America, higher processing results more than offset lower refining results. In Europe, higher processing and biodiesel results more than offset lower refining results. Origination results in Canada and Australia increased reflecting our expanded footprint and large crops. Results from global oils merchandising activities also increased, reflecting strong execution.

Higher softseed processed volumes primarily reflected the combined company’s increased production capacity in Argentina, Canada, and Europe. Higher merchandised volumes were driven by the company's expanded softseeds origination footprint.

Tropical Oils and Specialty Ingredients

Higher results in Asia, Europe and global oils merchandising activities were partially offset by lower results in North America.

Grain Merchandising and Milling

Higher results in wheat milling, global cotton and commercial services were more than offset by lower results in ocean freight. Results in global grains merchandising were in line with last year. Higher volumes primarily reflected the company’s expanded grain‑handling footprint and capabilities, along with large global grain crops. Prior year results included corn milling, which was divested in 2025.

Corporate and Other

Corporate

Other

The increase in Corporate expenses was primarily driven by the addition of Viterra. The year-over-year comparison was also impacted by timing of performance-based compensation and a $15 million cash benefit received in 2025 related to a prior joint venture. Other results were in line with the prior year.

Cash Flow

Cash used for operations in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 was $541 million and $285 million, respectively. The increase of cash used for operations was primarily driven by lower net income and net changes in working capital. Adjusted funds from operations (FFO) was $530 million compared to $392 million in the prior year.⁽³⁾

Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, income tax benefit was $14 million compared to an income tax expense of $80 million in the prior year. The income tax benefit was primarily due to tax benefits in South America and lower pre-tax income in 2026. Adjusting for notable items and mark-to-market timing differences, the quarter-end adjusted effective income tax rate was approximately 18%.

• Outlook⁽⁴⁾

Taking into account first quarter results, the current margin and macro environment and forward curves, Bunge now expects full-year 2026 adjusted EPS in the range of $9.00 to $9.50, which is up from its previous range of $7.50 to $8.00.

Compared to its previous full-year outlook:

• Soybean Processing and Refining results are expected to be higher
• Softseed Processing and Refining results are expected to be higher
• Tropical Oils and Specialty Ingredients results are expected to be lower
• Grain Merchandising and Milling results are expected to be lower
• Corporate and Other results are expected to be in line

Additionally, the Company expects the following for 2026:

• An adjusted annual effective tax rate in the range of 22% to 26%, which is down slightly from its previous expectation of 23% to 27%
• Net interest expense in the range of $620 to $660 million, which is up from its previous range of $575 to $625 million
• Capital expenditures in the range of $1.5 to $1.7 billion
• Depreciation and amortization of approximately $975 million

• Additional Financial Information

Certain gains and (charges), quarter-to-date

The following table provides a summary of certain gains and (charges) that may be of interest to investors, including a description of these items and their effect on Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, Earnings per share diluted and EBIT for the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Reportable Segments

Grain Merchandising and Milling

EBIT for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included $6 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses related to the completed business combination with Viterra.

Corporate and Other

The following is a summary of acquisition and integration costs related to the completed business combination agreement with Viterra recorded in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

• Condensed Consolidated Earnings Data (Unaudited)

• Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited)

• Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited)

• 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 Segment EBIT, Corporate and Other EBIT and Total EBIT to evaluate the operating performance of Bunge’s reportable segments and Total reportable segments together with Corporate and Other activities. Segment EBIT is the aggregate of the earnings before interest and taxes of each of Bunge’s Soybean Processing and Refining, Softseed Processing and Refining, Tropical Oils and Specialty Ingredients, and Grain Merchandising and Milling reportable segments. Total EBIT is the aggregate of the earnings before interest and taxes of Bunge’s reportable segments, together with its Corporate and Other activities.

Adjusted 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 2 below, and certain gains and (charges), as described in "Additional Financial Information" above, from Segment EBIT, Corporate and Other EBIT, and Total EBIT, respectively.

Segment EBIT, Corporate and Other EBIT, Total EBIT, Adjusted 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 2 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 2026. This information is provided only on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliation to projected Net Income per share for 2026, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The most directly comparable 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 in 2026, and Bunge believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The information necessary to prepare the comparable U.S. GAAP presentation could result in significant differences from projected Adjusted Net income per share for full-year 2026.

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

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

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 liquidity 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.
