Basis
of Presentation
|
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending June 30, 2010. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
2009.
Subsequent
Events
We have
performed a review of subsequent events through the date the financial
statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and
concluded there were no events or transactions occurring during this period that
required recognition or disclosure in our financial statements.
Adoption
of New Accounting Standards
On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended
guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations, which
changes the financial accounting and reporting of business combination
transactions. The guidance is to be applied prospectively to business
combinations completed on or after the adoption date. This amended guidance
requires recognizing, with certain exceptions, 100 percent of the fair values of
assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in
acquisitions of less than a 100 percent controlling interest when the
acquisition constitutes a change in control of the acquired entity; measuring
acquirer shares issued and contingent consideration arrangements in connection
with a business combination at fair value on the acquisition date with
subsequent changes in fair value reflected in earnings; and expensing as
incurred acquisition-related transaction costs. The amended guidance also
includes requirements relating to the accounting for assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies and establishes a model to
account for certain pre-acquisition contingencies. Under the amended guidance,
an acquirer is required to recognize at fair value an asset acquired or a
liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if
the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined
during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value cannot be
determined, the acquirer should follow the recognition criteria in ASC Topic
450, Contingencies. The
Company did not acquire any assets within the scope of ASC Topic 805 during the
first quarter of fiscal 2010.
On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted the amended guidance in ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other
Options, which specifies that issuers of convertible debt instruments
that may settle in cash upon conversion must bifurcate the proceeds from the
debt issuance between the debt and equity components in a manner that reflects
the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized
in subsequent periods. The equity component reflects the value of the
conversion feature of the notes. The amended guidance requires
retrospective application to all periods presented. See Note 6 for
further information regarding the impact of adoption.

the accounting and reporting of noncontrolling interests in financial
statements. The amended guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards
for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. As required by the amended guidance, the Company reclassified $26
million attributable to noncontrolling interests from other long-term
liabilities to a separate component of shareholders’ equity and the net earnings
attributable to noncontrolling interests is now presented as a
separate line item on the consolidated statements of
earnings. Presentation and disclosure requirements are to be applied
retrospectively for all periods presented and accordingly, the Company’s
consolidated financial statements have been restated for the impact of the
amended guidance. In addition, the Company consolidates certain
noncontrolling interests which are associated with mandatorily redeemable
instruments outside of the Company’s control. In accordance with
guidance contained in SEC Accounting Series Release 268, Redeemable Preferred Stock
and ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from
Equity, noncontrolling interests which are associated with mandatorily
redeemable instruments outside of the Company’s control have not been
reclassified as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
On July
1, 2009 the Company adopted the amended guidance in ASC Topic 260, Earnings per
Share, which addresses whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting
and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing
earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method. It also clarifies that all
outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to
nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common
shareholders and are considered to be participating securities, thus requiring
the issuing entity to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted
EPS. There was no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements as a result of the adoption of this amended guidance.
On July
1, 2009, the Company adopted the guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures, for its nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are
recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including goodwill, other
intangible assets, and asset retirement obligations. The Company recorded no new
or remeasured fair values during the period for its nonfinancial assets and
liabilities that are recognized on a nonrecurring basis.
Reclassifications
Certain
items in prior year’s consolidated statements of cash flows have been
reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation with no impact to
total cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, or financing
activities.
Last-in,
First-out (LIFO) Inventories
Interim
period LIFO calculations are based on interim period costs and management’s
estimates of year-end inventory levels. Because the availability and
price of agricultural commodity-based LIFO inventories are unpredictable due to
factors such as weather, government farm programs and policies, and changes in
global demand, quantities of LIFO-based inventories at interim periods may vary
significantly from management’s estimates of year-end inventory
levels.

Effective
October 1, 2009, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance in
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures. The first amendment permits certain
entities to use Net Asset Value (NAV) as a practical expedient to estimate the
fair value of investments within its scope provided the NAV is calculated as of
the Company’s reporting date. The amendment also indicates how investments
within its scope would be classified in the fair value hierarchy and requires
enhanced disclosures about the nature and risks of investments. The disclosure
requirements apply to all investments within the scope of the amendment,
regardless of whether the Company elects to measure the investment using NAV as
a practical expedient. The adoption of this amendment will require expanded
disclosure in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements but
will not materially impact financial results. The second amendment provides
guidance for the fair value measurement of liabilities. It clarifies that in
circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical
liability is not available, fair value must be measured using specified
valuation techniques. It further clarifies that both (a) a quoted price in an
active market for the identical liability at the measurement date, and (b) the
quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active
market (such as bonds), when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are
required, are Level 1 fair value measurements. The adoption of this amendment is
not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
results.
Effective
June 30, 2010, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance in ASC
Topic 715, Compensation –
Retirement Benefits, which expands disclosure requirements and requires
entities to disclose investment policies and strategies, major categories of
plan assets, fair value measurements for each major category of plan assets
segregated by fair value hierarchy level as defined in ASC Topic 820, the effect
of fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs on changes in plan assets for
the period, and significant concentrations of risk within plan
assets. The adoption of this amended guidance will require expanded
disclosure in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements but
will not impact financial results.
Effective
July 1, 2010, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance in ASC
Topic 810, Consolidations, which will
change how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently
capitalized or is not controlled through voting or similar rights (variable
interest entities or VIEs) should be consolidated. The determination of whether
a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among
other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s
ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly
impact the other entity’s economic performance. This amended guidance will
require a number of new disclosures including disclosures about the reporting
entity’s involvement with VIEs, how its involvement with VIEs affects the
reporting entity’s financial statements, and any significant changes in risk
exposure due to that involvement. The Company has not yet assessed
the impact of the adoption of this amended guidance on the Company’s financial
statements.

Fair
Value Measurements
|
The
Company determines the fair market value of certain of its inventories of
agricultural commodities, derivative contracts, and marketable securities based
on the fair value definition and hierarchy levels established in the guidance of
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures. Three levels are established
within the hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value:
Level
1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include
exchange-traded derivative contracts, U.S. treasury securities and certain
publicly traded equity securities.
Level
2: Observable inputs, including Level 1 prices that have been
adjusted; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in
markets that are less active than traded exchanges; and other inputs that are
observable or can be substantially corroborated by observable market
data.
Level
3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or
liabilities. In evaluating the significance of fair value inputs, the
Company generally classifies assets or liabilities as Level 3 when their fair
value is determined using unobservable inputs that individually or when
aggregated with other unobservable inputs, represent more than 10% of the fair
value of the assets or liabilities. Judgment is required in
evaluating both quantitative and qualitative factors in the determination of
significance for purposes of fair value level classification. Level 3
amounts can include assets and liabilities whose value is determined using
pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as
well as assets and liabilities for which the determination of fair value
requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair
Value Measurements (Continued)
|
The
following table sets forth, by level, the Company’s assets and liabilities that
were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30,
2009. In many cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value
includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest
level of input that is a significant component of the fair value measurement
determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the
hierarchy. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a
particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect
the classification of fair value assets and liabilities within the fair value
hierarchy levels.

The
Company uses the market approach valuation technique to measure the majority of
its assets and liabilities carried at fair value. Estimated fair
market values for inventories carried at market are based on exchange-quoted
prices, adjusted for differences in local markets, broker or dealer quotations,
or market transactions in either listed or over-the-counter (OTC)
markets. In such cases, the inventory is classified in Level
2. Certain inventories may require management judgment or estimation
for a significant component of the fair value amount. In such cases,
the inventory is classified as Level 3. Changes in the fair market value of
inventories are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as a
component of cost of products sold.

Fair
Value Measurements (Continued)
|
The
Company’s derivative contracts that are measured at fair value include forward
commodity purchase and sale contracts, exchange-traded commodity futures and
option contracts, and OTC instruments related primarily to agricultural
commodities, energy, and foreign currencies. Exchange-traded futures
and options contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets and are classified in Level 1. The majority of the Company’s
exchange-traded futures and options contracts are cash settled on a daily basis
and, therefore, are not included in this table. Fair value for
forward commodity purchase and sale contracts is estimated based on
exchange-quoted prices adjusted for differences in local
markets. These differences are generally determined using inputs from
broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either the listed or OTC
markets. When observable inputs are available for substantially the
full term of the asset or liability, the derivative contracts are classified in
Level 2. When unobservable inputs have a significant impact on the
measurement of fair value, the contract’s fair value is classified in Level 3.
Based on historical experience with the Company’s suppliers and customers, the
Company’s own credit risk, and the Company’s knowledge of current market
conditions, the Company does not view nonperformance risk to be a significant
input to fair value for the majority of its forward commodity purchase and sale
contracts. However, in situations when the Company believes the
nonperformance risk to be a significant input, the Company records estimated
fair value adjustments, and classifies the contracts in Level 3 in the fair
value hierarchy. Changes in the fair market value of commodity-related
derivatives are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as a
component of cost of products sold. Changes in the fair market value
of foreign currency-related derivatives are recognized in the consolidated
statements of earnings as a component of net sales and other operating income,
cost of products sold, and other income – net. The effective portions of changes
in the fair market value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are
recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recorded in
earnings.
The
Company’s available-for-sale securities are comprised of U.S. Treasury
securities, obligations of U.S. government agencies, corporate and municipal
debt securities, and equity investments. U.S. Treasury securities and
certain publicly traded equity investments are valued using quoted market prices
and are classified in Level 1. U.S. government agency obligations,
corporate and municipal debt securities and certain equity investments are
valued using third-party pricing services and substantially all are classified
as Level 2. Security values that are determined using pricing models
are classified in Level 3. Unrealized changes in the fair market
value of available-for-sale marketable securities are recognized in the
consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income unless a decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary at which
point the decline is recorded in earnings.
The
Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair value
measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of assets and
liabilities within the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
|
ASC Topic
815, Derivatives and
Hedging, requires the Company to recognize all of its derivative
instruments as either assets or liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet at
fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains
or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated
and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of
hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are
designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a reporting entity must designate
the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value
hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign
operation. The Company does not currently have any derivatives
designated as hedges of net investment in foreign operations. The
Company has certain derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and fair value
hedges; however, the majority of the Company’s derivatives have not been
designated as hedging instruments.
Derivatives
Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
To reduce
price risk caused by market fluctuations in agricultural commodities and foreign
currencies, the Company generally follows a policy of using exchange-traded
futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts to minimize its net
position of merchandisable agricultural commodity inventories and forward cash
purchase and sales contracts. The Company also uses exchange-traded
futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts as components of
merchandising strategies designed to enhance margins. The results of
these strategies can be significantly impacted by factors such as the volatility
of the relationship between the value of exchange-traded commodities futures
contracts and the cash prices of the underlying commodities, counterparty
contract defaults, and volatility of freight markets. Exchange-traded
futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts, and forward cash purchase
and sales contracts of certain merchandisable agricultural
commodities are valued at fair value. Inventories of certain
merchandisable agricultural commodities which include amounts acquired under
deferred pricing contracts are stated at market value. Inventory is
not a derivative and therefore is not included in the tables
below. Changes in the market value of inventories of merchandisable
agricultural commodities, forward cash purchase and sales contracts, and
exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts are
recognized in earnings immediately, resulting in cost of products sold
approximating first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost. Unrealized gains and
unrealized losses on forward cash purchase contracts, forward foreign currency
exchange (FX) contracts, forward cash sales contracts, and exchange-traded and
OTC options contracts represent the fair value of such instruments and are
classified on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as receivables and
accrued expenses, respectively.

Derivatives
Designated as Cash Flow or Fair Value Hedging Strategies
For
derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges
(i.e., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or
liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular
risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting
loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized
in the same line item associated with the hedged item in current
earnings.
The
Company has entered into an interest rate swap to manage interest rate
risk. The interest rate swap agreement effectively modifies the
Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates by converting a portion of the
Company’s fixed-rate debt to a floating rate. This agreement involves
the receipt of fixed interest amounts in exchange for floating rate interest
payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying
principal amount. The gain/loss on this fair value hedge for the
three months ended September 30, 2009 was immaterial.
For
derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges
(i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is
attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on
the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive
income (OCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item affected by
the hedged transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged
transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the
derivative instrument that is in excess of the cumulative change in the cash
flows of the hedged item, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion), hedge
components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, and gains and losses
related to discontinued hedges are recognized in the consolidated statement of
earnings during the current period.
For each
of the commodity hedge programs described below, the derivatives are designated
as cash flow hedges. The changes in the market value of such
derivative contracts have historically been, and are expected to continue to be,
highly effective at offsetting changes in price movements of the hedged
item. Once the hedged item is recognized in earnings, the
gains/losses arising from the hedge will be reclassified from accumulated other
comprehensive income (AOCI) to either net sales and other operating income, or
cost of products sold. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has $15
million of after-tax losses in AOCI related to gains and losses from commodity
cash flow hedge transactions. The Company expects to recognize all of
these after-tax losses in the statement of earnings during the next 17
months. During the current period, the Company had no amounts
recognized in earnings from cash flow hedges that were
discontinued.
The
Company, from time to time, uses futures or options contracts to fix the
purchase price of anticipated volumes of corn to be purchased and processed in a
future month. The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the
variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s forecasted purchases of
corn. The Company’s corn processing plants currently grind
approximately 60 million bushels of corn per month which is expected to increase
to approximately 75 million bushels per month when the Company’s two new
dry-grind ethanol plants in the U.S. are completed. Most of the
finished goods produced from this corn grind are sold at fixed prices and many
of these finished goods are unable to be hedged. The Company will fix
the purchase price of the corn that will be used, thereby economically
protecting the margin on these finished goods sales. During the past
12 months, the Company hedged between 37% and 95% of its monthly anticipated
grind. At September 30, 2009, the Company has hedged portions of its
anticipated monthly purchases of corn over the next 17 months, ranging from 1%
to 37% of its anticipated monthly grind.

The
Company, from time to time, also uses futures, options, and swaps to fix the
purchase price of the Company’s anticipated natural gas requirements for certain
production facilities. The objective of this hedging program is to
reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s forecasted
purchases of natural gas. These production facilities use
approximately 3.5 million MMbtus of natural gas per month. During the
past 12 months, the Company hedged between 18% and 65% of the quantity of its
anticipated monthly natural gas purchases. At September 30, 2009, the
Company has hedged portions of its anticipated monthly purchases of natural gas
over the next 9 months, ranging from 39% to 77% of its anticipated monthly
natural gas purchases.
To
protect against fluctuations in cash flows due to foreign currency exchange
rates, the Company from time to time will use forward foreign exchange contracts
with banks as foreign currency cash flow hedge programs. Certain
production facilities have manufacturing expenses and some sales contracts
denominated in non-functional currency. To reduce the risk of
fluctuations in cash flows due to changes in the exchange rate between
functional versus non-functional currency, the Company will hedge some portion
of the forecasted foreign currency expenditures and/or receipts. The
fair value of foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedging
instruments as of September 30, 2009 was immaterial.
At
September 30, 2009, AOCI included $4 million of after-tax gains related to
treasury-lock agreements and interest rate swaps. The instruments
were executed in order to lock in the Company’s interest rate prior to the
issuance or remarketing of debentures. Both the treasury-lock
agreements and interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges of the
risk of changes in the future interest payments attributable to changes in the
benchmark interest rate. The objective of the treasury-lock
agreements is to protect the Company from changes in the benchmark rate from the
date the Company decided to issue the debt to the date when the debt will
actually be issued. The Company will recognize the $4 million of
gains in its consolidated statement of earnings over the terms of the hedged
items.

Of the
$20 million in unrealized losses at September 30, 2009, $1 million arose within
the last 12 months. The market value of the investments that have
been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and for 12 months
and longer is $40 million and $42 million, respectively. The market
value of United States government obligations, government-sponsored enterprise
obligations, and other debt securities with unrealized losses as of September
30, 2009, is $54 million. The $3 million of unrealized losses
associated with United States government obligations, government sponsored
enterprise obligations and other debt securities are not considered to be
other-than-temporary because the present value of expected cash flows to be
collected is equivalent to or exceeds the amortized cost basis of the
securities. The market value of available-for-sale equity securities
with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2009, is $28 million. All
of the $17 million in unrealized losses associated with available-for-sale
equity securities is related to the Company’s investment in one
security. The Company does not intend to sell any of its impaired
debt and equity securities, and, based upon its evaluation, the Company does not
believe it is likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments
before recovery of their amortized cost bases which is expected in the
foreseeable future.

Debt
and Financing Arrangements

The
Company has outstanding $1.15 billion principal amount of convertible senior
notes (the Notes) due in 2014. As of September 30, 2009, none of the conditions
permitting conversion of the Notes had been satisfied. Therefore, no
share amounts related to the conversion of the Notes or exercise of the warrants
sold in connection with the issuance of the Notes were included in diluted
average shares outstanding.
On July
1, 2009, the Company began accounting for the Notes in accordance with the
amended guidance in ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other
Options, pertaining to convertible debt instruments with cash settlement
features. The amendment addresses the accounting for convertible debt securities
that, upon conversion, may be settled by the issuer fully or partially in cash.
Previously, most forms of convertible debt securities were treated solely as
debt. Under the new guidance, issuers of convertible debt securities within its
scope must separate these securities into two accounting components; a debt
component, representing the issuer’s contractual obligation to pay principal and
interest; and an equity component, representing the holder’s option to convert
the debt security into equity of the issuer or, if the issuer so elects, an
equivalent amount of cash.
The
amended guidance required retrospective application to all periods
presented. The following tables reflect the Company’s previously
reported amounts, along with adjustments required by the amended
guidance:

The
Company also has outstanding $1.75 billion principal amount of Equity Units (the
Units) due in 2011. The Units are a combination of (a) debt and (b)
forward purchase contracts for the holder to purchase the Company’s common
stock. The forward purchase contracts issued in connection with the
Units will be settled for the Company’s common stock no later than June 1,
2011. Until settlement of the forward purchase contracts, the shares
of stock underlying each forward purchase contract are not
outstanding. The forward purchase contracts will only be included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share to the extent they are
dilutive. As of September 30, 2009, the forward purchase contracts
were not considered dilutive and therefore were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share.
At
September 30, 2009, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt exceeded the
carrying value by $767 million, as estimated using quoted market prices or
discounted future cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental
borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
For
further information on the Notes and Units and additional information on the
impact of ASC Topic 470-20 (formerly FSP APB 14-1), refer to Note 1 “Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 7 “Debt and Financing Arrangements” in
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
2009.
The
Company has an investment in Wilmar International Holdings, Limited (WIHL), a
subsidiary of ADM Asia Pacific, Limited (ADMAP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company. Through WIHL, ADMAP holds an indirect ownership interest
in Wilmar International Ltd. (WIL).
Historically,
the Company considered the retained earnings of its investment in ADMAP to be
permanently reinvested outside the U.S. Therefore, the Company
provided no tax liability associated with the undistributed earnings of this
investment prior to the third quarter of 2009. On February 3,
2009, the shareholders of WIHL approved a plan of voluntary liquidation which
was followed by a partial liquidating distribution on April 1, 2009. Pursuant to
this distribution, ADMAP received publicly traded shares of WIL that represented
approximately 40% of the WIL shares indirectly held by WIHL. The
liquidation caused the difference between the market value of the WIL shares
received and the tax basis of ADMAP’s investment in WIHL to be subject to U.S.
income tax as a deemed distribution from ADMAP to the
Company. Consequently, as of March 31, 2009, the Company concluded
that a portion of its investment in ADMAP related to its investment in WIHL was
not permanently reinvested.
The
finalization of the liquidation process is expected to take up to 13 months and
is contingent on certain regulatory approvals. While the ultimate
impact of the transaction is uncertain, based on the November 5, 2009 market
value of WIL shares and certain other assumptions, including the applicable
foreign currency exchange rate and the U.S. income tax rate, the finalization of
the liquidation could result in additional income tax expense for the Company of
approximately $560 million in the period(s) that it occurs.

Segment
Information
|
The
Company is principally engaged in procuring, transporting, storing, processing,
and merchandising agricultural commodities and products. The
Company’s operations are classified into three reportable business
segments: Oilseeds Processing, Corn Processing and Agricultural
Services. Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature
of products and services offered. The Company’s remaining operations
are aggregated and classified as Other.
The
Oilseeds Processing segment includes activities related to the crushing and
origination of oilseeds such as soybeans, cottonseed, sunflower seeds, canola,
rapeseed, peanuts, and flaxseed into vegetable oils and protein meals
principally for the food and feed industries. In addition, oilseeds
and oilseed products may be processed internally or resold into the marketplace
as raw materials for other processing. Crude vegetable oil is sold
"as is" or is further processed by refining, bleaching, and deodorizing into
salad oils. Salad oils can be further processed by hydrogenating
and/or interesterifying into margarine, shortening, and other food products.
Partially refined oil is sold for use in paints, and other industrial
products. Refined oil can be further processed for use in the
production of biodiesel. Oilseed meals are primary ingredients used
in the manufacture of commercial livestock and poultry
feeds. Oilseeds Processing includes activities related to the
production of natural health and nutrition products and the production of other
specialty food and feed ingredients. This segment also includes
activities related to the Company’s interest in its unconsolidated affiliate in
Asia, Wilmar International Limited.
The Corn
Processing segment includes activities related to the production of sweeteners,
starches, dextrose, and syrups primarily for the food and beverage industry as
well as activities related to the production, by fermentation, of bioproducts
such as ethanol, amino acids, and other food, feed and industrial
products. The Corn Processing segment also includes activities
related to the processing of sugarcane into ethanol.
The
Agricultural Services segment utilizes the Company’s extensive grain elevator
and transportation network to buy, store, clean, and transport agricultural
commodities, such as oilseeds, corn, wheat, milo, oats, rice, and barley, and
resells these commodities primarily as food and feed ingredients for the
agricultural processing industry. In addition, the Agricultural
Services segment includes activities related to edible bean procurement, rice
milling, formula feed, and animal health and nutrition. Agricultural
Services’ grain sourcing and transportation network also provides reliable and
efficient services to the Company’s agricultural processing operations. Also
included in Agricultural Services are the activities of A.C. Toepfer
International, a global merchant of agricultural commodities and processed
products.
Other
includes the Company’s remaining processing operations, consisting of activities
related to processing agricultural commodities into food ingredient products
such as wheat into wheat flour, cocoa into chocolate and cocoa products, and
barley into malt. The Company sold its malt operations on July 31,
2008. Other also includes financial activities related to banking,
captive insurance, private equity fund investments, and futures commission
merchant activities.
Intersegment
sales have been recorded at amounts approximating market. Operating
profit for each segment is based on net sales less identifiable operating
expenses, including an interest charge related to working capital
usage. Also included in segment operating profit are equity in
earnings of affiliates based on the equity method of
accounting. Unallocated corporate expenses, investment income,
unallocated interest expense, marketable securities transactions, FIFO to LIFO
inventory adjustments, and noncontrolling interests have been excluded from
segment operations and classified as Corporate.
For
detailed information regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 15 to
the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

Company
Overview
The
Company is principally engaged in procuring, transporting, storing, processing,
and merchandising agricultural commodities and products. The
Company’s operations are classified into three reportable business segments:
Oilseeds Processing, Corn Processing and Agricultural Services. Each
of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services
offered. The Company’s remaining operations are aggregated and
classified as Other.
The
Oilseeds Processing segment includes activities related to the origination and
crushing of oilseeds such as soybeans, cottonseed, sunflower seeds, canola,
rapeseed, peanuts, and flaxseed into vegetable oils and protein meals
principally for the food and feed industries. In addition, oilseeds
and oilseed products may be processed internally or resold into the marketplace
as raw materials for other processing. Crude vegetable oil is sold
"as is" or is further processed by refining, bleaching, and deodorizing into
salad oils. Salad oils can be further processed by hydrogenating
and/or interesterifying into margarine, shortening, and other food products.
Partially refined oil is sold for use in chemicals, paints, and other industrial
products. Refined oil can be further processed for use in the
production of biodiesel. Oilseed protein meals are primary
ingredients used in the manufacture of commercial livestock and poultry
feeds. Oilseeds Processing includes activities related to the
production of natural health and nutrition products and the production of other
specialty food and feed ingredients. This segment also includes
activities related to the Company’s unconsolidated affiliate in Asia, Wilmar
International Limited.
The Corn
Processing segment includes activities related to the production of sweeteners,
starches, dextrose, and syrups primarily for the food and beverage industry as
well as activities related to the production, by fermentation, of bioproducts
such as ethanol, amino acids, and other food, feed and industrial
products. The Corn Processing segment also includes activities
related to the processing of sugarcane into ethanol.
The
Agricultural Services segment utilizes the Company’s extensive grain elevator
and transportation network to buy, store, clean, and transport agricultural
commodities, such as oilseeds, corn, wheat, milo, oats, rice, and barley, and
resells these commodities primarily as food and feed ingredients for the
agricultural processing industry. In addition, the Agricultural
Services segment includes activities related to edible bean procurement, rice
milling, formula feed, and animal health and nutrition. Agricultural
Services’ grain sourcing and transportation network also provides reliable and
efficient services to the Company’s agricultural processing operations. Also
included in Agricultural Services are the activities of A.C. Toepfer
International, a global merchant of agricultural commodities and processed
products.
Other
includes the Company’s remaining processing operations, consisting of activities
related to processing agricultural commodities into food ingredient products
such as wheat into wheat flour, cocoa into chocolate and cocoa products, and
barley into malt. The Company sold its malt operations on July 31,
2008. Other also includes financial activities related to banking,
captive insurance, private equity fund investments, and futures commission
merchant activities.
Operating
Performance Indicators
The
Company is exposed to certain risks inherent to an agricultural-based commodity
business. These risks are further described in Item 1A, “Risk
Factors” included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2009.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
|
The
Company’s Oilseeds Processing, Agricultural Services, and wheat processing
operations are principally agricultural commodity-based businesses where changes
in selling prices move in relationship to changes in prices of the
commodity-based agricultural raw materials. Therefore, changes in
agricultural commodity prices have relatively equal impacts on both net sales
and other operating income and cost of products sold and minimal impact on the
gross profit of underlying transactions. As a result, changes in
gross profit of these businesses do not necessarily correspond to the changes in
net sales and other operating income amounts.
The
Company’s Corn Processing operations and certain other food and animal feed
processing operations also utilize agricultural commodities (or products derived
from agricultural commodities) as raw materials. In these operations,
agricultural commodity market price changes can result in significant
fluctuations in cost of products sold, and such price changes cannot necessarily
be passed directly through to the selling price of the finished
products.
The
Company conducts its business in many countries. For the majority of
the Company’s subsidiaries located outside the United States, the local currency
is the functional currency. Revenues and expenses denominated in
foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average
exchange rates for the applicable periods. Fluctuations in the
exchange rates of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, British pound, and
Canadian dollar, as compared to the U.S. dollar will result in corresponding
fluctuations in the U.S. dollar value of revenues and expenses reported by the
Company. The impact of these currency exchange rate changes, where
significant, is discussed below.
The
Company measures the performance of its business segments using key operating
statistics such as segment operating profit, return on fixed capital investment,
return on net assets, and return on equity. The Company’s operating
results can vary significantly due to changes in factors such as fluctuations in
energy prices, weather conditions, crop plantings, government
programs and policies, changes in global demand resulting from population growth
and changes in standards of living, and global production of similar and
competitive crops. Due to these unpredictable factors, the Company
does not provide forward-looking information in “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Three
Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30,
2008
Net
earnings attributable to controlling interests decreased $549 million due to
lower segment operating profit and corporate results partially offset by lower
income taxes.
As an
agricultural commodity-based business, the Company is subject to a variety of
market factors which affect the Company’s operating results. The
global supply chain for soybeans was challenged by lower 2009 South American
production. Outside of South America, global crop outlooks continued
to improve year-over-year. The generally improved crop outlooks,
coupled with uncertainty about short-term demand resulting from the global
economic downturn, led to lower agricultural commodity market prices and less
volatile commodity market conditions. Biodiesel markets continued to
develop and underpin demand for refined and crude vegetable
oils. Compared to last year, market prices for corn decreased sharply
resulting in lower raw material costs for Corn Processing. Lower
energy, fuel and chemical costs positively impacted manufacturing
costs. Ethanol selling prices decreased due to lower gasoline prices
and decreased gasoline demand.

Analysis
of Statements of Earnings
Net sales
and other operating income decreased 29% to $14.9
billion. Approximately 82% and 10% of the decrease was attributable
to lower average selling prices and foreign exchange translation impacts,
respectively. Decreased sales volumes of merchandised grain,
sweeteners and starches and cocoa products were partially offset by increase
sales volumes of merchandised soybeans, ethanol, and wheat flour.
Net sales
and other operating income by segment for the quarter are as

Processing sales decreased 18% to $6.4 billion primarily due to lower average
selling prices. Corn Processing sales decreased 15% to $1.9 billion
due principally to lower average selling prices for ethanol and decreased sales
quantities of sweeteners and starches, partially offset by higher sales volumes
of ethanol. Agricultural Services sales decreased 44% to $5.3
billion, due to both lower average selling prices and lower
volumes. Other sales decreased 16% to $1.3 billion primarily due to
lower average selling prices for wheat flour and lower sales volumes for cocoa
products, partially offset by higher sales volumes of wheat
flour.

Cost of
products sold decreased 28% to $13.9 billion due principally to decreased
agricultural commodity costs. Manufacturing expenses decreased $195
million primarily due to decreased energy and fuel costs. Foreign
currency translation effects accounted for approximately 12% of the decrease in
cost of products sold.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased 13% to $354 million due
principally to lower employee-related costs, decreased provisions for doubtful
accounts, and foreign currency translation effects of approximately $11
million.
Other
income – net increased $70 million primarily due to lower interest expense and
higher equity in earnings in affiliates, partially offset by decreased
investment income and decreased gains on marketable securities
transactions.

Oilseeds
Processing operating profit decreased 44% to $284 million. Crushing
and Origination results decreased 60% to $135 million due to lower production
volumes resulting from limited soybean supply, decreased crushing
margins and lower fertilizer results due to weaker demand. Refining,
Packaging, Biodiesel and Other results decreased 34% to $70 million due
principally to lower sales volumes in North America and reduced biodiesel
margins in Europe and South America. Asia results increased $14
million due principally to increased earnings related to the Company’s
investment in Wilmar International Ltd.
Corn
Processing operating profits increased 59% to $188 million. Sweetener
and Starches operating profits increased $129 million to $194 million due
principally to lower net corn and manufacturing costs and higher year-over-year
average sweetener selling prices partially offset by decreased sales quantities
of sweeteners and starches. Bioproducts operating profit declined $59
million primarily due to decreased ethanol selling prices partially offset by
lower net corn and manufacturing costs and higher ethanol sales
volumes. Ethanol selling prices decreased due to lower gasoline
prices and decreased gasoline demand. Bioproducts results were also
negatively impacted by lower lysine selling prices and by increased startup
costs related to the Company’s new dry-grind ethanol plants and industrial
chemicals and sugar businesses.
Agricultural
Services operating profits decreased 59% to $175
million. Merchandising and handling results were lower than the
year-ago quarter due to reduced demand resulting from the weaker global economy
and less volatile commodity market conditions. Transportation results
decreased 58% to $18 million primarily due to lower barge freight rates and
reduced barge utilization levels.
Other
operating profits increased 6% to $127 million. Wheat, cocoa and malt
operating profit increased $4 million due principally to improved global wheat
milling margins and higher earnings from the Company’s equity investee Gruma
S.A.B. de C.V., partially offset by a decline in cocoa processing sales volumes
and margins. Results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 include
$12 million related to the Company’s malting business which was disposed of on
July 31, 2008. Financial operating profit increased $3 million due to improved
captive insurance results partially offset by weaker results of the Company’s
brokerage services business caused by the low short-term interest rate
environment.
Corporate
results decreased $367 million. Market prices for LIFO-based
inventories were generally lower resulting in a decrease in LIFO inventory
reserves of $76 million compared to a $453 million decrease in the prior year
quarter. Corporate unallocated interest increased $36 million
reflecting a decrease in interest income caused by lower short-term rates and
lower working capital requirements of the operating
segments. Corporate costs were down $25 million as employee-related
costs and provisions for doubtful accounts decreased.
Income
taxes decreased due principally to lower pretax earnings. The
Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter is 30.7% as compared to 29.6% in
the prior year’s quarter. The increase in the Company’s effective tax
rate is primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of pretax
earnings.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company’s key financial objectives include having sufficient liquidity, balance
sheet strength, and financial flexibility to fund the operating and capital
requirements of a capital intensive agricultural-based commodity
business.
At
September 30, 2009, the Company had $2.8 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and
short-term marketable securities and a current ratio, defined as current assets
divided by current liabilities, of 2.2 to 1. Included in working
capital is $4.6 billion of readily marketable commodity
inventories. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $2.0
billion for the quarter compared to $4.7 billion the same quarter last
year. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is
primarily due to changes in working capital requirements principally related to
lower agricultural commodity market prices. Cash used in financing activities
was $228 million compared to $2.7 billion the same quarter last year due
principally to a decrease in repayments of commercial paper borrowings. Net
short-term borrowings decreased primarily as a result of decreased working
capital requirements.
At
September 30, 2009, the Company had lines of credit totaling $6.5 billion, of
which $6.4 billion was unused. Of the Company’s total lines of
credit, $4.2 billion support a commercial paper borrowing facility, against
which there were no borrowings at September 30, 2009.
Capital
resources remained strong as reflected by the Company’s net worth of $14.2
billion. The Company’s ratio of long-term debt to total capital (the
sum of the Company’s long-term debt and shareholders’ equity) was 35% at
September 30, 2009 and 36% at June 30, 2009. This ratio is a measure
of the Company’s long-term liquidity and is an indicator of financial
flexibility.
Contractual
Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The
Company’s purchase obligations as of September 30, 2009 were $12
billion. As of September 30, 2009, the Company expects to make
payments related to purchase obligations of $11.2 billion within the next twelve
months, principally related to obligations to purchase agricultural commodity
inventories. There were no other material changes in the Company’s
contractual obligations and off balance sheet arrangements during the three
months ended September 30, 2009.
Critical
Accounting Policies
There
were no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies during
the three months ended September 30, 2009.

QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
|
The
market risk inherent in the Company’s market risk sensitive instruments and
positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in: commodity
prices as they relate to the Company’s net commodity position; marketable equity
security prices; foreign currency exchange rates; and interest
rates. Significant changes in market risk sensitive instruments and
positions for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 are described
below. There were no material changes during the quarter in the
Company’s potential loss arising from changes in marketable equity securities,
foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates.
For
detailed information regarding the Company’s market risk sensitive instruments
and positions, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative disclosures About
Market Risk” included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended June 30, 2009.

Commodities
The
availability and price of agricultural commodities are subject to wide
fluctuations due to unpredictable factors such as weather, plantings, global
government farm programs and policies, changes in global demand resulting from
population growth and changes in standards of living, and global production of
similar and competitive crops. A sensitivity analysis has been
prepared to estimate the Company’s exposure to market risk of its commodity
position. The Company’s daily net commodity position consists of inventories,
related purchase and sale contracts, and exchange-traded futures and
exchange-traded and over-the-counter option contracts, including those used to
hedge portions of production requirements. The fair value of such position is a
summation of the fair values calculated for each commodity by valuing each net
position based on quoted futures prices. Market risk is estimated as the
potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical ten percent adverse
change in such prices. Actual results may differ.

the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in
Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
“Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules
and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in the
Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most
recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial
reporting.
