Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
|
Note 1.
|
Basis of Presentation
|
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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 audited 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 six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates all entities, including variable interest entities (VIEs), in which it has a controlling financial interest. For VIEs, the Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary as defined under the applicable accounting standard. Investments in affiliates, including VIEs through which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control the investee and is not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities, are carried at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings since acquisition and are adjusted, where appropriate, for basis differences between the investment balance and the underlying net assets of the investee. The Company’s portion of the results of certain affiliates and results of certain VIEs are included using the most recent available financial statements. In each case, the financial statements are within 93 days of the Company’s year end and are consistent from period to period.
Reclassifications
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company started reporting its newly created dry mill ethanol subsidiary, Vantage Corn Processors (VCP), as a sub-segment within the Carbohydrate Solutions segment. VCP replaces the Bioproducts sub-segment which included the combined results of the Company’s corn dry and wet mill ethanol operations. The wet mill ethanol operations that were previously reported in Bioproducts are now included in the Starches and Sweeteners sub-segment. In addition to dry mill ethanol production, VCP will sell/broker ADM’s wet mill ethanol production as the sole marketer of ethanol produced at the Company’s facilities. The change does not have an impact on the total results of the Carbohydrate Solutions segment.
Effective July 1, 2019, the Company changed its segment reporting to reflect the creation of the combined Ag Services and Oilseeds segment. The former Origination and Oilseeds businesses were merged into a combined Ag Services and Oilseeds segment which enables the Company to better respond to market changes by integrating the supply and value chains and risk management, while delivering significant simplification and efficiency to the day-to-day business. As part of the Company’s efforts for a streamlined management structure, the combined segment is led by the former President of Oilseeds expanding his role to President of Ag Services and Oilseeds.
Prior period information in Notes 4 and 14 has been reclassified to conform to the current period segment presentation.
Segregated Cash and Investments
The Company segregates certain cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances in accordance with regulatory requirements, commodity exchange requirements, and insurance arrangements. These balances represent deposits received from customers of the Company’s registered futures commission merchant and commodity brokerage services, cash margins and securities pledged to commodity exchange clearinghouses, and cash pledged as security under certain insurance arrangements. Segregated cash and investments also include restricted cash collateral for the various insurance programs of the Company’s captive insurance business. To the degree these segregated balances are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, they are considered restricted cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows.

Receivables
The Company records receivables at net realizable value in trade receivables, other current assets, and other assets. These amounts include allowances for estimated uncollectible accounts totaling $113 million and $110 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances including any accrued interest receivables thereon. Long-term receivables recorded in other assets were not material to the Company’s overall receivables portfolio.
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), and developed a new methodology for estimating uncollectible accounts. Under this methodology, receivables are pooled according to type, region, credit risk rating, and age. Each pool is assigned an expected loss co-efficient to arrive at a general reserve based on historical write-offs adjusted, as needed, for regional, economic, and other forward-looking factors. The Company minimizes credit risk due to the large and diversified nature of its worldwide customer base. ADM manages its exposure to counter-party credit risk through credit analysis and approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures.
The Company recorded bad debt expense in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $14 million and $25 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
Inventory Valuation
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company changed the method of accounting for certain of its agricultural commodity inventories from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to market value in the Ag Services and Oilseeds segment. As of December 31, 2019, inventories accounted for using LIFO at the lower of cost or net realizable value represented approximately 10% of consolidated inventories. The Company believes market value is preferable because it: (i) conforms to the inventory valuation methodology used for the majority of ADM’s agricultural commodity inventories; (ii) enhances the matching of inventory costs with revenues and better reflects the current cost of inventory on the Company’s balance sheet; and (iii) provides better comparability with the Company’s peers.
The Company concluded that the accounting change does not have a material effect on prior periods’ financial statements and elected not to apply the change on a retrospective basis. As a result, the Company recorded a reduction in cost of products sold of $91 million ($69 million after tax, equal to $0.12 per diluted share) for the cumulative effect of the change in the three months ended March 31, 2020 with no impact to the statement of cash flows. The Company does not expect the change to have a material impact on its results for the year ending December 31, 2020.
If the Company had not made the accounting change, the effect of LIFO valuation on ADM’s operating results would have been an increase in cost of products sold of $1 million ($1 million after tax, equal to $0.00 per diluted share) in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and a reduction in cost of goods sold of $43 million ($33 million after tax, equal to $0.06 per diluted share) in the six months ended June 30, 2020, with no impact to the consolidated statement of cash flows.
|
Note 2.
|
New Accounting Standards
|
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the amended guidance of Topic 326, which is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring more timely recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The amended guidance replaces the prior “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model and requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company was required to adopt the amended guidance on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company evaluated its current methodology of estimating allowance for doubtful accounts and the risk profile of its receivable portfolio and developed a model that includes the qualitative and forecasting aspects of the “expected loss” model under the amended guidance. The Company finalized its assessment of the impact of the amended guidance and recorded a $8 million cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at January 1, 2020. For more information about the Company’s receivables, see Note 1.
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the amended guidance of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The adoption of this amended guidance did not impact the Company’s financial results.

|
Pending Accounting Standards
|
Effective December 31, 2020, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Subtopic 715-20, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General, which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this amended guidance will not impact the Company’s financial results.
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify other areas of Topic 740. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the amended guidance on the consolidated financial statements but does not expect the adoption of the amendments to have a significant impact on its financial results.
Through December 31, 2022, the Company has the option to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amended guidance do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The Company plans to adopt the expedients and exceptions provided by the amended guidance before the December 31, 2022 expiry date but has not yet completed its assessment of the impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 4.

Revenues
|
Revenue Recognition
The Company principally generates revenue from merchandising and transporting agricultural commodities and manufactured products used as ingredients in food, feed, energy, and industrial products. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company follows a policy of recognizing revenue at a single point in time when it satisfies its performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The majority of the Company’s contracts with customers have one performance obligation and a contract duration of one year or less. The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph 10-50-14 of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. For transportation service contracts, the Company recognizes revenue over time as the barge, ocean-going vessel, truck, rail, or container freight moves towards its destination in accordance with the transfer of control guidance of Topic 606. The Company recognized revenue from transportation service contracts of $106 million and $223 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $128 million and $243 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. For physically settled derivative sales contracts that are outside the scope of Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the inventory is transferred within the meaning of Topic 606 as required by ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“Topic 610-20”).
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs related to contracts with customers for the sale of goods are accounted for as a fulfillment activity and are included in cost of products sold. Accordingly, amounts billed to customers for such costs are included as a component of revenues.
Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities
The Company does not include taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are (i) imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and (ii) collected from customers, in the measurement of transactions prices or as a component of revenues and cost of products sold.

Contract liabilities recognized as revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $339 million and $621 million, respectively, and $160 million and $326 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Revenues (Continued)
|
Ag Services and Oilseeds
The Ag Services and Oilseeds segment generates revenue from the sale of commodities, from service fees for the transportation of goods, and from the sale of products manufactured in its global processing facilities. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or providing service to a customer. For transportation service contracts, the Company recognizes revenue over time as the barge, ocean-going vessel, truck, rail, or container freight moves towards its destination in accordance with the transfer of control guidance of Topic 606. The amount of revenue recognized follows the contractually specified price which may include freight or other contractually specified cost components. For physically settled derivative sales contracts that are outside the scope of Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the inventory is transferred within the meaning of Topic 606 as required by Topic 610-20.
Carbohydrate Solutions
The Carbohydrate Solutions segment generates revenue from the sale of products manufactured at the Company’s global corn and wheat milling facilities around the world. Revenue is recognized when control over products is transferred to the customer. Products are shipped to customers from the Company’s various facilities and from its network of storage terminals. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the consideration specified in the contract which could include freight and other costs depending on the specific shipping terms of each contract. For physically settled derivative sales contracts that are outside the scope of Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the inventory is transferred within the meaning of Topic 606 as required by Topic 610-20.
Nutrition
The Nutrition segment sells specialty products including natural flavor ingredients, flavor systems, natural colors, animal nutrition products, and other specialty food and feed ingredients. Revenue is recognized when control over products is transferred to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized follows the contracted price or the mutually agreed price of the product. Freight and shipping are recognized as a component of revenue at the same time control transfers to the customer.
Other Business
Other Business includes the Company’s futures commission business whose primary sources of revenue are commissions and brokerage income generated from executing orders and clearing futures contracts and options on futures contracts on behalf of its customers. Commissions and brokerage revenue are recognized on the date the transaction is executed. Other also includes the Company’s captive insurance business which generates third party revenue through its proportionate share of premiums from third-party reinsurance pools. Reinsurance premiums are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period underlying the policy.

Estimated fair values for inventories carried at market are based on exchange-quoted prices, adjusted for differences in local markets and quality, referred to as basis. Market valuations for the Company’s inventories are adjusted for location and quality (basis) because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts that have standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade. The basis adjustments are generally determined using the inputs from broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either the listed or over the counter (OTC) markets and are considered observable. In some cases, the basis adjustments are unobservable because they are supported by little to no market activity. When unobservable inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the inventory is classified in Level 3. Changes in the fair value of inventories are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings as a component of cost of products sold.

Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Derivative contracts include exchange-traded commodity futures and options contracts, forward commodity purchase and sale contracts, and OTC instruments related primarily to agricultural commodities, energy, interest rates, 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 these tables. Fair value for forward commodity purchase and sale contracts is estimated based on exchange-quoted prices adjusted for differences in local markets. Market valuations for the Company’s forward commodity purchase and sale contracts are adjusted for location (basis) because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts that have standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade. The basis adjustments are generally determined using inputs from broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either the listed or OTC markets and are considered observable. In some cases, the basis adjustments are unobservable because they are supported by little to no market activity. When observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the contract, it is classified in Level 2. When unobservable inputs have a significant impact (more than 10%) on the measurement of fair value, the contract is classified in Level 3. Except for certain derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of commodity-related derivatives are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings as a component of cost of products sold. Changes in the fair value of foreign currency-related derivatives are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings as a component of revenues, cost of products sold, or other (income) expense - net, depending upon the purpose of the contract. The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as effective cash flow hedges are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) until the hedged items are recorded in earnings or it is probable the hedged transaction will no longer occur.
The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds valued using quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1.
The Company’s segregated investments are comprised of U.S. Treasury securities. U.S. Treasury securities are valued using quoted market prices and are classified in Level 1.
The Company has deferred consideration under its accounts receivable securitization program (the “First Program”) which represents notes receivable from the purchasers under the First Program (see Note 16 for more information). This amount is reflected in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet (see Note 7 for more information). The Company carries the deferred receivables consideration at fair value determined by calculating the expected amount of cash to be received. The fair value is principally based on observable inputs (a Level 2 measurement) consisting mainly of the face amount of the receivables adjusted for anticipated credit losses and discounted at the appropriate market rate. Payment of deferred receivables consideration is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred under the First Program, which have historically been insignificant.

Transfers into Level 3 of assets and liabilities previously classified in Level 2 were due to the relative value of unobservable inputs to the total fair value measurement of certain products and derivative contracts rising above the 10% threshold. Transfers out of Level 3 were primarily due to the relative value of unobservable inputs to the total fair value measurement of certain products and derivative contracts falling below the 10% threshold and thus permitting reclassification to Level 2.

Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
|
In some cases, the price components that result in differences between exchange-traded prices and local prices for inventories and commodity purchase and sale contracts are observable based upon available quotations for these pricing components, and in some cases, the differences are unobservable. These price components primarily include transportation costs and other adjustments required due to location, quality, or other contract terms. In the table below, these other adjustments are referred to as basis. The changes in unobservable price components are determined by specific local supply and demand characteristics at each facility and the overall market. Factors such as substitute products, weather, fuel costs, contract terms, and futures prices also impact the movement of these unobservable price components.
The following table sets forth the weighted average percentage of the unobservable price components included in the Company’s Level 3 valuations as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company’s Level 3 measurements may include basis only, transportation cost only, or both price components. As an example, for Level 3 inventories with basis, the unobservable component as of June 30, 2020 is a weighted average 17.5% of the total price for assets and 13.5% of the total price for liabilities.

In certain of the Company’s principal markets, the Company relies on price quotes from third parties to value its inventories and physical commodity purchase and sale contracts. These price quotes are generally not further adjusted by the Company in determining the applicable market price. In some cases, availability of third-party quotes is limited to only one or two independent sources. In these situations, absent other corroborating evidence, the Company considers these price quotes as 100% unobservable and, therefore, the fair value of these items is reported in Level 3.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
|
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The majority of the Company’s derivative instruments have not been designated as hedging instruments. The Company uses exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts to manage its net position of merchandisable agricultural product inventories and forward cash purchase and sales contracts to reduce price risk caused by market fluctuations in agricultural commodities and foreign currencies. 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 correlation between the value of exchange-traded commodities futures contracts and the value of the underlying commodities, counterparty contract defaults, and volatility of freight markets. Derivatives, including exchange-traded contracts and physical purchase or sale contracts, and inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural product inventories, which include amounts acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value. Inventory is not a derivative and therefore fair values of and changes in fair values of inventories are not included in the tables below.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow, Fair Value or Net Investment Hedging Strategies
The Company had certain derivatives designated as cash flow and net investment hedges as of June 30, 2020 and cash flow, fair value, and net investment hedges as of December 31, 2019.
For derivative instruments that were designated and qualify as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and changes in the fair value of the hedged item were recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings during the period.
The Company used interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to protect the fair value of $495 million in fixed-rate debt due to changes in interest rates. The terms of the interest rate swaps matched the terms of the underlying debt. At December 31, 2019, the Company had $3 million in other current assets representing the fair value of the interest rate swaps and a corresponding increase in the underlying debt for the same amount with no net impact to earnings. In June 2020, the Company redeemed the debt and recorded a gain of $8 million from the termination of the swaps.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, foreign exchange gains and losses related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are deferred in AOCI until the underlying investment is divested.
The Company uses cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange forwards designated as net investment hedges to protect the Company’s investment in a foreign subsidiary against changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company executed USD-fixed to Euro-fixed cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and foreign exchange forwards with an aggregate notional amount of $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2020.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had after-tax gains of $12 million and $6 million in AOCI, respectively, related to foreign exchange gains and losses from these net investment hedge transactions. The amount is deferred in AOCI until the underlying investment is divested.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Continued)
|
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flow that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows 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. 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.
The Company uses interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the forecasted interest payments on certain letters of credit from banks. The terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the forecasted interest payments. The deferred gains and losses are recognized in other (income) expense - net over the period in which the related interest payments are paid to the banks.
The Company also uses swap locks designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the changes in the forecasted interest payments due to changes in the benchmark rate leading up to future bond issuance dates. The terms of the swap locks match the terms of the forecasted interest payments. The deferred gains and losses will be recognized in interest expense over the period in which the related interest payments will be paid. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company executed swap locks maturing on various dates with an aggregate notional amount of $550 million.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had after-tax losses of $38 million and $43 million in AOCI, respectively, related to the interest rate swaps and the swap locks. The Company expects to recognize this amount in its consolidated statement of earnings during the life of the instruments.
For each of the 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 and losses arising from the hedge are reclassified from AOCI to either revenues or cost of products sold, as applicable. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had after-tax losses of $2 million and $5 million in AOCI, respectively, related to gains and losses from these programs. The Company expects to recognize $2 million of the June 30, 2020 after-tax losses in its consolidated statement of earnings during the next 12 months.
The Company uses futures or options contracts to hedge 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 grind approximately 72 million bushels of corn per month. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 20% and 60% of its monthly anticipated grind. At June 30, 2020, the Company had designated hedges representing between 2% and 30% of its anticipated monthly grind of corn for the next 12 months.
The Company, from time to time, also uses futures, options, and swaps to hedge the sales price of certain ethanol sales contracts. The Company has established hedging programs for ethanol sales contracts that are indexed to unleaded gasoline prices and to various exchange-traded ethanol contracts. The objective of these hedging programs is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s sales of ethanol. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 0 and 91 million gallons of ethanol sales per month under these programs. At June 30, 2020, the Company had designated hedges representing between 0 and 1 million gallons of ethanol sales per month over the next 3 months.
The Company uses futures and options contracts to hedge the purchase price of anticipated volumes of soybeans to be purchased and processed in a future month for certain of its U.S. soybean crush facilities. The Company also uses futures or options contracts to hedge the sales prices of anticipated soybean meal and soybean oil sales proportionate to the soybean crushing process at these facilities. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 79% and 100% of the anticipated monthly soybean crush for soybean purchases and soybean meal and oil sales at the designated facilities. At June 30, 2020, the Company had designated hedges representing between 4% and 100% of the anticipated monthly soybean crush for soybean purchases and soybean meal and oil sales at the designated facilities over the next 12 months.

Debt and Financing Arrangements
|
In June 2020, the Company redeemed $495 million aggregate principal amount of 4.479% debentures and incurred $14 million in early debt repayment expenses related to the indenture agreement’s make-whole call provision.
On March 27, 2020, the Company issued $0.5 billion and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amounts of 2.75% Notes due in 2025 and 3.25% Notes due in 2030, respectively. Net proceeds before expenses for the 2.75% and 3.25% Notes were $492 million and $988 million, respectively.
At June 30, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt exceeded the carrying value by $2.4 billion, as estimated using quoted market prices (a Level 2 measurement under applicable accounting standards).
At June 30, 2020, the Company had lines of credit, including the accounts receivable securitization programs described below, totaling $10.9 billion, of which $9.7 billion was unused. Of the Company’s total lines of credit, $5.0 billion supported the combined U.S. and European commercial paper borrowing programs, against which there was no commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2020.
The Company has accounts receivable securitization programs (the “Programs”). The Programs provide the Company with up to $1.8 billion in funding resulting from the sale of accounts receivable, of which $1.2 billion was unused as of June 30, 2020 (see Note 16 for more information about the Programs).

Income Taxes
|
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were 14.5% and 6.9%, respectively, compared to 13.1% and 19.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The change in the rate for the three months was driven primarily by an unfavorable change in discrete tax items during the quarter compared to the prior year, partially offset by the favorable impact of U.S. tax credits signed into law in December 2019. The change in the rate for the six months was primarily due to the impact of U.S. tax credits signed into law in December 2019, including a $73 million discrete tax benefit related to 45G railroad credits recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2020, which are now reflected in the 2020 projected effective tax rate. The prior period rate also included unfavorable discrete tax items primarily related to U.S. tax reform transition tax adjustments.
In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law in the United States. The Company continues to assess the effects of the provisions of the CARES Act and does not expect any income tax effects to have a material impact on the annual effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2020. The Company also continues to evaluate the effects of COVID-19 on its ability to indefinitely reinvest foreign earnings and does not expect any change in its assertion to have a material impact on the annual effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2020.
The Company is subject to income taxation and routine examinations in many jurisdictions around the world and frequently faces challenges regarding the amount of taxes due. These challenges include positions taken by the Company related to the timing, nature and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. In its routine evaluations of the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company recognizes a liability, when necessary, for estimated potential tax owed by the Company in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Resolution of the related tax positions, through negotiations with relevant tax authorities or through litigation, may take years to complete. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the timing for resolution of tax positions and the Company cannot predict or provide assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these ongoing or future examinations. However, the Company does not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease significantly in the next twelve months. Given the long periods of time involved in resolving tax positions, the Company does not expect that the recognition of unrecognized tax benefits will have a material impact on the Company’s effective income tax rate in any given period.
During the second quarter, the ongoing litigation between the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ADM do Brasil Ltda. (“ADM do Brasil”), and the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (“BFRS”) was favorably resolved without any tax due. The litigation related to assessments received totaling approximately $77 million in tax and $228 million in interest and penalties as of June 30, 2020 (adjusted for variation in currency exchange rates), with respect to the tax deductibility of commodity hedging losses and related expenses for the tax years 2004, 2006, and 2007. The Company does not expect to receive any additional tax assessments with respect to this issue.
The Company’s subsidiary in Argentina, ADM Agro SRL (formerly ADM Argentina SA and Alfred C. Toepfer Argentina SRL), received tax assessments challenging transfer prices used to price grain exports for the tax years 1999 through 2011. As of June 30, 2020, these assessments totaled $12 million in tax and $47 million in interest (adjusted for variation in currency exchange rates). The Argentine tax authorities conducted a review of income and other taxes paid by large exporters and processors of cereals and other agricultural commodities resulting in allegations of income tax evasion. The Company strongly believes that it has complied with all Argentine tax laws. To date, the Company has not received assessments for closed years subsequent to 2011. While the statute of limitations has expired for tax years 2012 and 2013, the Company cannot rule out receiving additional assessments challenging transfer prices used to price grain exports for years subsequent to 2013, and estimates that these potential assessments could be approximately $37 million in tax and $23 million in interest (adjusted for variation in currency exchange rates as of June 30, 2020). The Company believes that it has appropriately evaluated the transactions underlying these assessments, and has concluded, based on Argentine tax law, that its tax position would be sustained, and accordingly, has not recorded a tax liability for these assessments. In accordance with the accounting requirements for uncertain tax positions, the Company has not recorded an uncertain tax liability for this assessment because it has concluded that it is more likely than not to prevail on the matter based upon its technical merits and because the taxing jurisdiction’s process does not provide a mechanism for settling at less than the full amount of the assessment. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position against the current assessments and any similar assessments that may be issued for years subsequent to 2013.

Note 10. Income Taxes (Continued)
In 2014, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in the Netherlands, ADM Europe B.V., received a tax assessment from the Netherlands tax authority challenging the transfer pricing aspects of a 2009 business reorganization, which involved two of its subsidiary companies in the Netherlands. As of June 30, 2020, this assessment was $91 million in tax and $36 million in interest (adjusted for variation in currency exchange rates). In September 2019, the Company received an interim decision on its appeal which directed the parties to work toward a settlement. On April 23, 2020, the court issued an unfavorable ruling and directed the parties to explore the possibility of settling, noting that any unresolved valuation questions may be assigned to a third party expert to establish a valuation. Subsequent appeals may take an extended period of time and could result in additional financial impacts of up to the entire amount of the assessment. The Company has carefully evaluated the underlying transactions and has concluded that the amount of gain recognized on the reorganization for tax purposes was appropriate. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has accrued its best estimate of what it believes will be the likely outcome of the litigation and will vigorously defend its position against the assessment.

Note 11.

Leases
|
Lessee Accounting
The Company leases certain transportation equipment, plant equipment, office equipment, land, buildings, and storage facilities. Most leases include options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 10 months to 49 years. Certain leases also include index and non-index escalation clauses and options to purchase the leased property. Leases accounted for as finance leases were immaterial at June 30, 2020.
As an accounting policy election, the Company does not apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to short-term leases in all of its underlying asset categories. The Company recognizes short-term lease payments in earnings on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
The following table sets forth the amounts relating to the Company’s total lease cost and other information.

Note 14. Segment Information
As discussed in Note 1, prior period results have been reclassified to conform to the current period segment presentation.
The Company’s operations are organized, managed, and classified into three reportable business segments: Ag Services and Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions, and Nutrition. Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services offered. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Other Business.
The Ag Services and Oilseeds segment includes global activities related to the origination, merchandising, transportation, and storage of agricultural raw materials, and the crushing and further processing of oilseeds such as soybeans and soft seeds (cottonseed, sunflower seed, canola, rapeseed, and flaxseed) into vegetable oils and protein meals. Oilseeds products produced and marketed by the segment include ingredients for food, feed, energy, and industrial customers. Crude vegetable oils produced by the segment’s crushing activities are sold “as is” or are further processed by refining, blending, bleaching, and deodorizing into salad oils. Salad oils are sold “as is” or are further processed by hydrogenating and/or interesterifying into margarine, shortening, and other food products. Partially refined oils are used to produce biodiesel and glycols or are sold to other manufacturers for use in chemicals, paints, and other industrial products. Oilseed protein meals are principally sold to third parties to be used as ingredients in commercial livestock and poultry feeds. The Ag Services and Oilseeds segment is also a major supplier of peanuts, tree nuts, and peanut-derived ingredients to both the U.S. and export markets. In North America, cotton cellulose pulp is manufactured and sold to the chemical, paper, and other industrial markets. The Ag Services and Oilseeds segment's grain sourcing, handling, and transportation network (including barge, ocean-going vessel, truck, rail, and container freight services) provides reliable and efficient services to the Company's customers and agricultural processing operations. The Ag Services and Oilseeds segment also includes agricultural commodity and feed product import, export, and global distribution, and structured trade finance activities. This segment also includes the Company's share of the results of its equity investment in Wilmar International Limited (Wilmar) and its share of the results of its Pacificor, Stratas Foods LLC, Edible Oils Limited, Olenex Sarl, and SoyVen joint ventures.
The Carbohydrate Solutions segment is engaged in corn and wheat wet and dry milling and other activities. The Carbohydrate Solutions segment converts corn and wheat into products and ingredients used in the food and beverage industry including sweeteners, corn and wheat starches, syrup, glucose, wheat flour, and dextrose. Dextrose and starch are used by the Carbohydrate Solutions segment as feedstocks for its bioproducts operations. By fermentation of dextrose, the Carbohydrate Solutions segment produces alcohol and other food and animal feed ingredients. Ethyl alcohol is produced by the Company for industrial use as ethanol or as beverage grade. Ethanol, in gasoline, increases octane and is used as an extender and oxygenate. Corn gluten feed and meal, as well as distillers’ grains, are produced for use as animal feed ingredients. Corn germ, a by-product of the wet milling process, is further processed into vegetable oil and protein meal. Other Carbohydrate Solutions products include citric acids which are used in various food and industrial products. This segment also includes the Company’s share of the results of its equity investments in Hungrana Ltd., Almidones Mexicanos S.A., Red Star Yeast Company, LLC, and Aston Foods and Food Ingredients.
The Nutrition segment serves customer needs for food, beverages, health and wellness, and more. The segment engages in the manufacturing, sale, and distribution of a wide array of products from nature including plant-based proteins, natural flavor ingredients, flavor systems, natural colors, emulsifiers, soluble fiber, polyols, hydrocolloids, natural health and nutrition products including probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, and botanical extracts, and other specialty food and feed ingredients. The Nutrition segment includes the activities related to the procurement, processing, and distribution of edible beans. The Nutrition segment also includes activities related to the processing and distribution of formula feeds and animal health and nutrition products and the manufacture of contract and private label pet treats and foods. In January 2020, ADM acquired Yerbalatina, a natural plant-based extracts and ingredients manufacturer.
Other Business includes the Company’s financial business units related to futures commission and insurance activities.

Segment Information (Continued)
|
Intersegment sales have been recorded at amounts approximating market. Operating profit for each segment is based on net sales less identifiable operating expenses. Also included in operating profit for each segment is equity in earnings of affiliates based on the equity method of accounting. Specified items included in total segment operating profit and certain corporate items are not allocated to the Company’s individual business segments because operating performance of each business segment is evaluated by management exclusive of these items. Corporate results principally include the impact of LIFO-related adjustments, unallocated corporate expenses, interest cost net of investment income, and the Company’s share of the results of its equity investment in Compagnie Industrialle et Financiere des Produits Amylaces SA (Luxembourg) (CIP), which was sold in December 2019.

Note 15. Asset Impairment, Exit, and Restructuring Costs
Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs in the three months ended June 30, 2020 consisted of individually insignificant long-lived asset impairments of $3 million and restructuring charges of $13 million. Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs in the six months ended June 30, 2020 consisted primarily of $47 million of impairments related to certain intangible and other long-lived assets and $10 million of restructuring charges.
Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of $35 million and $44 million, respectively, of impairments related to certain long-lived assets presented as specified items within segment operating profit and $101 million and $103 million, respectively, of restructuring and pension remeasurement charges in Corporate primarily related to early retirement and reorganization initiatives.
Note 16. Sale of Accounts Receivable
The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program (the “First Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “First Purchasers”). Under the First Program, certain U.S.-originated trade accounts receivable are sold to a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote entity, ADM Receivables, LLC (“ADM Receivables”). ADM Receivables in turn transfers such purchased accounts receivable in their entirety to the First Purchasers pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement. In exchange for the transfer of the accounts receivable, ADM Receivables receives a cash payment of up to $1.2 billion, as amended, and an additional amount upon the collection of the accounts receivable (deferred consideration). The First Program terminates on September 18, 2020, unless extended.

Note 16. Sale of Accounts Receivable (Continued)
The Company also has an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Second Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “Second Purchasers”). Under the Second Program, certain non-U.S.-originated trade accounts receivable are sold to a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote entity, ADM Ireland Receivables Company (“ADM Ireland Receivables”). Prior to April 1, 2020, ADM Ireland Receivables transferred such purchased accounts receivable in their entirety to the Second Purchasers pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement. In exchange for the transfer of the accounts receivable, ADM Ireland Receivables received a cash payment up to a certain amount and an additional amount upon the collection of the accounts receivable (deferred consideration). On April 1, 2020, the Company restructured the Second Program from a deferred purchase price to a pledge structure. Under the new structure, ADM Ireland Receivables transfers a portion of the purchased accounts receivable together with an equally proportional interest in all of its right, title and interest in the remaining purchased accounts receivable to each of the Second Purchasers. In exchange, ADM Ireland Receivables receives a cash payment of up to $0.6 billion (€0.5 billion) for the accounts receivables transferred. The Second Program terminates on March 12, 2021, unless extended.
Under the First and Second Programs (collectively, the “Programs”), ADM Receivables and ADM Ireland Receivables use the cash proceeds from the transfer of receivables to the First Purchasers and Second Purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”) and other consideration, as applicable, to finance the purchase of receivables from the Company and the ADM subsidiaries originating the receivables. The Company accounts for these transfers as sales. The Company has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than collection and administrative responsibilities and its right to the deferred consideration under the First Program. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not record a servicing asset or liability related to its retained responsibility, based on its assessment of the servicing fee, market values for similar transactions, and its cost of servicing the receivables sold.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of trade receivables transferred to the Purchasers under the Programs and derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets was $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. In exchange for the transfers as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company received cash of $0.6 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, and recorded a receivable for deferred consideration included in other current assets of $1.1 billion and $0.4 billion, respectively. Cash collections from customers on receivables sold were $16.4 billion and $16.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Of this amount, $4.6 billion and $6.2 billion were cash collections on the deferred receivables consideration reflected as cash inflows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Deferred receivables consideration is paid to the Company in cash on behalf of the First Purchasers as receivables are collected; however, as this is a revolving facility, cash collected from the Company’s customers is reinvested by the First Purchasers daily in new receivable purchases under the First Program.
The Company’s risk of loss following the transfer of accounts receivable under the First Program is limited to the deferred receivables consideration outstanding. The Company carries the deferred receivables consideration at fair value determined by calculating the expected amount of cash to be received and is principally based on observable inputs (a Level 2 measurement under the applicable accounting standards) consisting mainly of the face amount of the receivables adjusted for anticipated credit losses and discounted at the appropriate market rate. Payment of deferred receivables consideration is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred under the First Program which have historically been insignificant.
Transfers of receivables under the Programs resulted in an expense for the loss on sale of $3 million and $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $5 million and $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which is classified as selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings.
In accordance with the amended guidance of Topic 230, the Company reflects cash flows related to the deferred receivables consideration as investing activities in its consolidated statements of cash flows. All other cash flows are classified as operating activities because the cash received from the Purchasers upon both the sale and collection of the receivables is not subject to significant interest rate risk given the short-term nature of the Company’s trade receivables.

Company Overview
This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
ADM is a global leader in human and animal nutrition and one of the world’s premier agricultural origination and processing companies. It is one of the world’s leading producers of ingredients for human and animal nutrition, and other products made from nature. The Company uses its significant global asset base to originate and transport agricultural commodities, connecting to markets in more than 190 countries. The Company also processes corn, oilseeds, and wheat into products for food, animal feed, chemical and energy uses. The Company also engages in the manufacturing, sale, and distribution of specialty products including natural flavor ingredients, flavor systems, natural colors, proteins, emulsifiers, soluble fiber, polyols, hydrocolloids, natural health and nutrition products, and other specialty food and feed ingredients. The Company uses its global asset network, business acumen, and its relationships with suppliers and customers to efficiently connect the harvest to the home thereby generating returns for our shareholders, principally from margins earned on these activities.
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company started reporting its newly created dry mill ethanol subsidiary, Vantage Corn Processors (VCP), as a sub-segment within the Carbohydrate Solutions segment. VCP replaces the Bioproducts sub-segment which included the combined results of the Company’s corn dry and wet mill ethanol operations. The wet mill ethanol operations that were previously reported in Bioproducts are now included in the Starches and Sweeteners sub-segment. In addition to dry mill ethanol production, VCP will sell/broker ADM’s wet mill ethanol production as the sole marketer of ethanol produced at the Company’s facilities. The change does not have an impact on the total results of the Carbohydrate Solutions segment.
Effective July 1, 2019, the Company changed its segment reporting to reflect the creation of the combined Ag Services and Oilseeds segment. The former Origination and Oilseeds businesses were merged into a combined Ag Services and Oilseeds segment which enables the Company to better respond to market changes by integrating the supply and value chains and risk management, while delivering significant simplification and efficiency to the day-to-day business. As part of the Company’s efforts for a streamlined management structure, the combined segment is led by the former President of Oilseeds expanding his role to President of Ag Services and Oilseeds.
Prior period results have been reclassified to conform to the current period segment presentation.
The Company’s operations are organized, managed, and classified into three reportable business segments: Ag Services and Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions, and Nutrition. Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services offered. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable business segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Other Business. Financial information with respect to the Company’s reportable business segments is set forth in Note 14 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1 herein, “Financial Statements”.
The Company’s recent significant portfolio actions and announcements include:
|
•
|
the acquisition in January 2020 of Yerbalatina, a natural plant-based extracts and ingredients manufacturer in Brazil;
|
|
•
|
the announcement in May 2020 of an agreement to create PlantPlus Foods, a 30% joint venture with Marfrig, one of the world’s leading beef producers and the world’s largest beef patty producer, to sell plant-based food products across the South American and North American markets; and
|
|
•
|
the temporary idling in April 2020 of ethanol production at the corn dry mill facilities in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Columbus, Nebraska, for a period of four months subject to market conditions. To better align production with current demand, the Company has also reduced the ethanol grind at its corn wet mill plants and rebalanced grind to produce more industrial alcohol for the sanitizer market and industrial starches for the container board market.
|
The Company executes its strategic vision through three pillars: Optimize the Core, Drive Efficiencies, and Expand Strategically, all supported by its Readiness effort. During 2018, the Company launched Readiness to drive new efficiencies and improve the customer experience in the Company’s existing businesses through a combination of data analytics, process simplification and standardization, and behavioral and cultural change, building upon its earlier 1ADM and operational excellence programs. Readiness also supports the execution of the Company’s growth strategies across its five key growth platforms: Taste, Nutrition, Animal Nutrition, Health and Wellness, and Carbohydrates.

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 December 31, 2019.
The Company’s Ag Services and Oilseeds 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. As a result, changes in agricultural commodity prices have relatively equal impacts on both revenues and cost of products sold. Therefore, changes in revenues of these businesses do not necessarily correspond to the changes in margins or gross profit. Thus, gross margins per volume or metric ton are more meaningful than gross margins as percentage of revenues.
The Company’s Carbohydrate Solutions operations and Nutrition businesses also utilize agricultural commodities (or products derived from agricultural commodities) as raw materials. However, in these operations, agricultural commodity market price changes do not necessarily correlate to changes in cost of products sold. Therefore, changes in revenues of these businesses may correspond to changes in margins or gross profit. Thus, gross margin rates are more meaningful as a performance indicator in these businesses.
The Company has consolidated subsidiaries in more than 70 countries. For the majority of the Company’s subsidiaries located outside the United States, the local currency is the functional currency except certain significant subsidiaries in Switzerland where
Euro is the functional currency, and Brazil and Argentina where U.S. dollar 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. For the majority of the Company’s business activities in Brazil and Argentina, the functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, certain transactions, including taxes, occur in local currency and require remeasurement to the functional currency. Changes in revenues are expected to be correlated to changes in expenses reported by the Company caused by fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Brazilian real, as compared to the U.S. dollar.
The Company measures its performance using key financial metrics including net earnings, gross margins, segment operating profit, return on invested capital, EBITDA, economic value added, manufacturing expenses, and selling, general, and administrative expenses. The Company’s financial results can vary significantly due to changes in factors such as fluctuations in energy prices, weather conditions, crop plantings, government programs and policies, trade policies, changes in global demand, general global economic conditions, changes in standards of living, and global production of similar and competitive crops. Due to these unpredictable factors, the Company undertakes no responsibility for updating any forward-looking information contained within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Market Factors Influencing Operations or Results in the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
The Company is subject to a variety of market factors which affect the Company's operating results. In Ag Services and Oilseeds, North American crushing margins were compressed due to slow farmer selling and COVID-19 impacts on demand for meal and oil. South America saw record origination volumes as it benefited from strong farmer selling in Brazil driven by the devaluation of the Brazilian Real. Demand and margins for biodiesel remained solid in North and South America, but were challenging in Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India (“EMEAI”) due in part to the impact of COVID-19. In Carbohydrate Solutions, demand for starches and sweeteners was soft early in the quarter due to the impacts of COVID-19 while margins remained solid. Wheat flour demand and margins in North America remained strong. Ethanol margins improved throughout the quarter on lower stock levels as ADM and many ethanol producers idled some capacity. Nutrition benefited from improved margins in flavors and growing demand for pet food, feed for livestock, plant-based proteins, and probiotics. Lower out-of-home consumption caused by COVID-19 lock down measures negatively impacted flavors volumes especially in the food service channel, and demand for aqua feed.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net earnings attributable to controlling interests increased $234 million from $235 million to $469 million. Segment operating profit increased $168 million from $645 million to $813 million. Included in segment operating profit in the current quarter was a net income of $9 million consisting of a gain on the sale of certain assets partially offset by asset impairment and restructuring charges. Included in segment operating profit in the prior year quarter were asset impairment charges of $37 million. Adjusted segment operating profit increased $122 million to $804 million due primarily to higher results in Ag Services, Vantage Corn Processors, Nutrition, and Other Business, partially offset by lower results in Starches and Sweeteners and Crushing and lower equity earnings from the Wilmar investment. Corporate results were a net charge of $261 million in the current quarter compared to $371 million in the prior year quarter. Corporate results in the current quarter included early debt repayment expenses of $14 million. Corporate results in the prior year quarter included restructuring charges of $101 million and a charge of $25 million from changes in agricultural commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuation reserves.
Income tax expense increased $44 million to $80 million. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was 14.5% compared to 13.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The increase in rate was driven primarily by an unfavorable change in discrete tax items during the quarter compared to the prior year, partially offset by the favorable impact of U.S. tax credits signed into law in December 2019.
In March 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law in the United States. The Company does not expect the provisions of the CARES Act to have a material impact on the annual effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2020.

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. The overall increase in oilseeds is due to increased capacity utilization at new plants combined with downtime in the prior year due to weather-related issues. The overall decrease in corn is primarily related to the idling of two dry mill facilities in response to the current challenging operating environment.

Revenues and cost of products sold in a commodity merchandising and processing business are significantly correlated to the underlying commodity prices and volumes. 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.
Revenues were comparable at $16.3 billion. Lower sales prices of biodiesel and alcohol and lower sales volumes of alcohol and oils, were offset by higher sales volumes of soybeans, corn, and meal. Ag Services and Oilseeds revenues increased 4% to $12.7 billion due to higher sales volumes ($0.6 billion), partially offset by lower sales prices ($0.1 billion). Carbohydrate Solutions revenues decreased 17% to $2.0 billion due to lower sales volumes ($0.3 billion) and lower sales prices ($0.1 billion). Nutrition revenues decreased 6% to $1.4 billion due to lower sales volumes ($0.2 billion), partially offset by higher sales prices ($0.1 billion).
Cost of products sold decreased $0.2 billion to $15.2 billion due principally to lower manufacturing expenses. Included in cost of products sold in the prior quarter was a charge of $25 million from the effect of changes in agricultural commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuation reserves. Manufacturing expenses decreased $0.1 billion to $1.3 billion due principally to lower energy and labor costs and maintenance expenses.
Foreign currency translation impacts decreased both revenues and cost of products sold by $0.3 billion.
Gross profit increased $0.1 billion or 14%, to $1.1 billion. Higher results in Human and Animal Nutrition ($43 million), Ag Services ($100 million), and Vantage Corn Processors ($38 million) were partially offset by lower results in Crushing ($42 million) and Starches and Sweeteners ($34 million). These factors are explained in the segment operating profit discussion on page 44. The effect of changes in agricultural commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuation reserves had a negative impact on gross profit of $25 million in the prior year quarter compared to no impact in the current year due to the discontinuation of LIFO effective January 1, 2020.
41
|
ITEM 2.
|
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
|
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $36 million to $638 million due principally to higher variable performance-related compensation expense accruals.
Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs decreased $120 million to $16 million. Charges in the current quarter consisted of individually insignificant long-lived asset impairments and restructuring charges. Charges in the prior year quarter consisted of $35 million of impairments related to certain long-lived assets presented as specified items within the segment operating profit and $101 million of restructuring and pension remeasurement charges in Corporate related to early retirement and reorganization initiatives.
Interest expense decreased $22 million to $87 million due principally to lower interest rates and net interest savings from cross currency swaps.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased $13 million to $103 million due to a loss in the prior year quarter from the Company’s investment in CIP which was sold in December 2019 and higher earnings from the Company’s investment in Soyven, partially offset by lower earnings from the Company’s investment in Wilmar.
Other income - net increased $54 million to $67 million. Income in the current quarter included gains on the sale of certain assets and disposals of individually insignificant assets in the ordinary course of business, foreign exchange gains, the non-service components of net pension benefit income, and other income, partially offset by expenses related to the early repayment of debt. Income in the prior year quarter included gains on disposals of individually insignificant assets in the ordinary course of business, the non-service components of net pension benefit income, and other income, partially offset by foreign exchange losses.

Ag Services and Oilseeds operating profit increased 14%. Ag Services results were substantially higher year-over-year on strong execution in South America which helped deliver record quarterly origination and export volumes in a significantly improved margin environment, driven by a weaker Brazilian Real and strong farmer selling. Global trade also contributed to improved results as countries looked to secure stable supplies of food amid the pandemic. Lower interior grain margins impacted results in North America. In North America crushing, margins were impacted by COVID-19 effects on customers. South America crushing delivered significantly higher year-over-year results in an environment of solid domestic meal demand and the weaker Brazilian Real. In EMEAI, crush volumes and margins remained solid. Refined Products and Other results were higher year-over-year on improved biodiesel volumes and margins in North and South America as well as strong volumes and margins in refined and packaged oils in South America, partially offset by lower demand for biodiesel in EMEAI, and edible oils in both EMEAI and North America. Wilmar results were lower year-over-year.
Carbohydrate Solutions operating profit increased 2%. Starches and Sweeteners results were lower year-over-year, impacted by lower food service demand in North America and mark-to-market losses on corn oil contracts, partially offset by lower net raw material costs and strong risk management results. Wheat milling had another strong quarter, as solid retail demand and footprint optimization initiatives continued to drive results. Vantage Corn Processors results were higher than the prior year quarter driven by gains on inventory ownership and supported by favorable risk management and strong demand for industrial ethanol. While average industry margins were down against the prior year quarter, prices and margins improved throughout the quarter as lower production, including two idled ADM dry mills, and some recovery in driving miles led to falling industry stocks.
Nutrition operating profit increased 35%. Human Nutrition results were higher than the prior year quarter as flavors continued to deliver solid results on good sales mix and margin expansion in North America, partially offset by some softness in EMEAI. Strong execution to meet rising customer demand for plant-based proteins and edible beans drove higher results in Specialty Ingredients. Health & Wellness delivered higher performance on strong sales for probiotics, improved volumes and margins in fiber, and additional fermentation income. Animal Nutrition was higher year-over-year on continued execution on Neovia synergies, robust demand for pet food and treats, and improvement in amino acids drove improved results, despite impacts from COVID-19 on demand in some regions.
Other Business operating profit increased 245%. Improvements in underwriting performance at the captive insurance operations were partially offset by lower results from the Company’s futures commission and brokerage business.
Corporate results for the quarter are as follows:

Corporate results were a net charge of $261 million in the current quarter compared to $371 million in the prior year quarter. The effect of changes in agricultural commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuation reserve resulted in a charge of $25 million in the prior quarter. Interest expense-net decreased $15 million due principally to lower interest rates and net interest savings from cross currency swaps. Unallocated corporate costs increased $62 million due to higher variable performance-related compensation expense accruals and costs transferred in from the businesses related to centralization of certain activities. Early debt repayment expenses were related to the make-whole call provision on a bond. Restructuring charges in the prior quarter, which included pension remeasurement charges, related to early retirement and reorganization initiatives. Other income in the current quarter included foreign exchange gains, an investment revaluation gain, and the non-service components of net pension benefit income. Other charges in the prior quarter included foreign exchange losses and a loss from the Company’s equity investment in CIP, which was sold in December 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”), adjusted earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and adjusted segment operating profit, non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. These performance measures are not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS adjusted for the effects on reported diluted EPS of specified items. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for specified items. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA by removing the impact of specified items and adding back the amounts of interest expense and depreciation and amortization to earnings before income taxes. Adjusted segment operating profit is segment operating profit adjusted, where applicable, for specified items.
Management believes that adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted segment operating profit are useful measures of the Company’s performance because they provide investors additional information about the Company’s operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. Adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted segment operating profit are not intended to replace or be an alternative to diluted EPS, earnings before income taxes, and segment operating profit, respectively, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.
The table below provides a reconciliation of diluted EPS to adjusted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Market Factors Influencing Operations or Results in the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
The Company is subject to a variety of market factors which affect the Company's operating results. In Ag Services and Oilseeds, North American crushing margins were compressed due to slow farmer selling and COVID-19 impacts on demand for meal and oil. South America saw record origination volumes as it benefited from strong farmer selling in Brazil driven by the devaluation of the Brazilian Real. Demand and margins for biodiesel remained solid in North and South America but were challenging in EMEAI. In Carbohydrate Solutions, demand for starches and sweeteners was soft early in the first half of the year due to the impacts of COVID-19 while margins remained solid. Wheat flour demand and margins in North America remained strong. Ethanol margins were mixed as U.S. industry ethanol production exceeded demand and inventories remained high early in the year but improved throughout the second quarter on lower stock levels as ADM and many ethanol producers idled some capacity. Nutrition benefited from improved mix and margins in flavors and robust demand for pet food, feed for livestock, plant-based proteins, and probiotics. Lower out-of-home consumption caused by COVID-19 lock down measures negatively impacted flavors volumes especially in the food service channel, and demand for aqua feed.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Net earnings attributable to controlling interests increased $0.4 billion to $0.9 billion. Segment operating profit increased $0.2 billion to $1.4 billion. Included in segment operating profit in the current period was a net charge of $35 million consisting of asset impairment and restructuring charges and a gain on the sale of certain assets. Included in segment operating profit in the prior period was a net charge of $34 million consisting of asset impairment and settlement charges, a gain on the sale of certain assets, and a step-up gain on an equity investment. Adjusted segment operating profit increased $0.2 billion to $1.4 billion due primarily to higher results in Ag Services, Nutrition and Vantage Corn Processors, and higher equity earnings from the Wilmar investment, partially offset by lower results in Crushing and Starches and Sweeteners. Corporate results were a net charge of $485 million for the six months compared to $667 million the same period last year. Corporate results included a credit of $91 million from the elimination of the LIFO reserve in connection with the accounting change effective January 1, 2020, and early debt repayment expenses of $14 million for the six months, compared to restructuring charges of $103 million and a charge of $26 million from changes in agricultural commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuation reserves the same period last year.
Income taxes of $64 million decreased $53 million. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 6.9% compared to 19.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The change in the rate was primarily due to the impact of U.S. tax credits signed into law in December 2019, including a $73 million discrete tax benefit related to 45G railroad credits recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2020, which are now reflected in the 2020 projected effective tax rate.
In March 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law in the United States. The Company does not expect the provisions of the CARES Act to have a material impact on the annual effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2020.

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. The overall increase in oilseeds is due to increased capacity utilization at new plants combined with downtime in the prior year due to weather-related issues. The overall decrease in corn is primarily related to the idling of two dry mill facilities in the second quarter in response to the current challenging operating environment.

Revenues and cost of products sold in a commodity merchandising and processing business are significantly correlated to the underlying commodity prices and volumes. 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.
Revenues decreased $0.4 billion to $31.3 billion due to lower sales prices and volumes. Lower sales prices of wheat and biodiesel and lower sales volumes of soybeans, alcohol, rice, and oils, were partially offset by higher sales prices of oils and higher sales volumes of wheat, corn, and meal. Ag Services and Oilseeds revenues increased $0.1 billion due to higher sales volumes ($0.2 billion) partially offset by lower sales prices ($0.1 billion). Carbohydrate Solutions revenues decreased 11% to $4.3 billion due to lower sales volumes ($0.3 billion) and lower sales prices ($0.2 billion). Nutrition revenues increased 4% to $2.9 billion due to higher sales prices ($0.1 billion).
Cost of products sold decreased $0.5 billion to $29.2 billion due to lower prices and volumes. Included in cost of products sold was a credit of $91 million from the effect of the elimination of the LIFO reserve in connection with the accounting change in the current period compared to a charge of $26 million from the effect of changes in agricultural commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuation reserves in the prior period. Manufacturing expenses decreased $0.1 billion to $2.8 billion due principally to lower energy and labor costs and maintenance expenses, partially offset by railroad maintenance expenses..
Foreign currency translation impacts decreased both revenues and cost of products sold by $0.4 billion.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Gross profit increased $0.2 billion or 8% to $2.1 billion. Higher results in Human and Animal Nutrition ($118 million), Ag Services ($182 million), and Vantage Corn Processors ($43 million) were partially offset by lower results in Crushing ($203 million) and Starches and Sweeteners ($75 million). These factors are explained in the segment operating profit discussion on page 51. The elimination of the LIFO reserve in connection with the accounting change effective January 1, 2020 had a positive impact on gross profit of $91 million in the current period compared to the negative impact of $26 million from changes in agricultural commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuation reserves in the prior period.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 3% to $1.3 billion due principally to higher variable performance-related compensation expense accruals, partially offset by lower compensation expenses.
Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs decreased $90 million to $57 million. Charges in the current period consisted primarily of impairments related to certain intangible and other long-lived assets and individually insignificant restructuring charges. Prior period charges consisted of $44 million of impairments related to certain long-lived assets presented as specified items within segment operating profit, and $103 million of restructuring and pension remeasurement charges in Corporate primarily related to early retirement and reorganization initiatives.
Interest expense decreased $40 million to $170 million due principally to lower interest rates and net interest savings from cross currency swaps.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased $52 million to $243 million due to higher earnings from the Company’s investments in Wilmar and SoyVen and a loss in the prior period from the Company’s investment in CIP which was sold in December 2019, partially offset by a loss in the current period from the Company’s investment in Olenex.
Other income - net increased $78 million to $99 million. Current period income included included foreign exchange gains, the non-service components of net pension benefit income, and other income, partially offset by loss provisions related to the Company’s futures commission and brokerage business and expenses related to the early repayment of debt. Prior period income included gains on the sale of certain assets, step-up gains on equity investments, gains on disposals of individually insignificant assets in the ordinary course of business, and other income, partially offset by foreign exchange losses.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Ag Services and Oilseeds operating profit increased 7%. Ag Services results more than doubled compared to the prior period, which were negatively impacted by high water conditions in North America. Strong performance in global trade was driven by strong results in destination marketing and structured trade finance. Robust farmer selling in Brazil drove higher origination volumes and margins, which were partially offset by weaker results in North America. Crushing results were lower than the prior year period. Volumes were strong and execution margins were solid although below the high realized margins in the first half of 2019. The prior year period also benefited from positive timing effects. Refined Products and Other results were higher due to improved biodiesel margins in both North and South America, partially offset by lower biodiesel margins in EMEAI. Wilmar results were higher year-over-year.
Carbohydrate Solutions operating profit decreased 9%. Starches and Sweeteners results were down driven largely by negative mark-to-market timing effects on forward sales of corn oil. Absent those impacts, results were higher due to better operating performance at the Decatur facility, strong results in wheat milling, and improved conditions in EMEAI. VCP results improved from the prior period due to effective risk management and increased demand for industrial ethanol.
Nutrition operating profit increased 52%. Human Nutrition delivered strong performance and growth across its broad portfolio. Strong execution to meet rising customer demand for plant-based proteins and edible beans drove higher results in Specialty Ingredients. Additional fermentation revenue and strong sales for probiotics and fiber drove higher performance in Health & Wellness. Flavors continued to deliver solid results. Animal Nutrition results improved year-over-year driven by strong performance from Neovia, good volumes and margins in feed additives, and solid sales in pet care. Amino acids were negatively impacted by a decline in the global pricing environment.
Other Business operating profit increased 96%. Improvements in underwriting performance at the captive insurance operations were partially offset by loss provisions related to the Company’s futures commission and brokerage business.
Corporate results for the six months are as follows:

Corporate results were a net charge of $485 million in the current period compared to $667 million in the prior period. The elimination of the LIFO reserve in connection with the accounting change effective January 1, 2020 resulted in a credit of $91 million in the current period compared to a LIFO charge of $26 million in the prior period. Interest expense-net decreased $28 million due principally to lower interest rates and net interest savings from cross currency swaps. Unallocated corporate costs increased $68 million due principally to higher variable performance-related compensation expense accruals and costs transferred in from the businesses related to centralization of certain activities. Expenses related to acquisitions in the prior period related to the Neovia acquisition. Early debt repayment expenses were related to the make-whole call provision on a bond. Restructuring charges in the prior period, which included pension remeasurement charges, related to early retirement and reorganization initiatives. Other charges in the current period included railroad maintenance expenses of $73 million that had an offsetting benefit in income tax expense, partially offset by foreign exchange gains, an investment revaluation gain, and the non-service components of net pension benefit income. Other charges in the prior period included foreign exchange losses and a loss from the Company’s equity investment in CIP, which was sold in December 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted segment operating profit, non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. These performance measures are not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted EPS adjusted for the effects on reported diluted EPS of specified items. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for specified items. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA by removing the impact of specified items and adding back the amounts of interest expense and depreciation and amortization to earnings before income taxes. Adjusted segment operating profit is segment operating profit adjusted, where applicable, for specified items.
Management believes that adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted segment operating profit are useful measures of the Company’s performance because they provide investors additional information about the Company’s operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. Adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted segment operating profit are not intended to replace or be an alternative to diluted EPS, earnings before income taxes, and segment operating profit, respectively, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.
The table below provides a reconciliation of diluted EPS to adjusted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
A Company objective is to have sufficient liquidity, balance sheet strength, and financial flexibility to fund the operating and capital requirements of a capital intensive agricultural commodity-based business. The Company depends on access to credit markets, which can be impacted by its credit rating and factors outside of ADM’s control, to fund its working capital needs and capital expenditures. The primary source of funds to finance ADM’s operations, capital expenditures, and advancement of its growth strategy is cash generated by operations and lines of credit, including a commercial paper borrowing facility and accounts receivable securitization programs. In addition, the Company believes it has access to funds from public and private equity and debt capital markets in both U.S. and international markets.
Cash used in operating activities was $0.4 billion for the six months compared to $2.7 billion for the same period last year. Working capital changes, including the increase in deferred consideration, decreased cash by $2.0 billion for the six months compared to $3.7 billion for the same period last year. Inventories decreased approximately $1.4 billion primarily due to lower inventory quantities, partially offset by higher prices. Trade payables declined approximately $0.8 billion principally reflecting seasonal cash payments for North American harvest-related grain purchases.
Increase in deferred consideration in securitized receivables of $2.5 billion and $3.6 billion for the six months and the same period last year, respectively, was offset by $2.5 billion and $3.6 billion of net consideration received for beneficial interest obtained for selling trade receivables for the six months and the same period last year, respectively.
Cash provided by investing activities was $2.2 billion for the six months compared to $1.3 billion for the same period last year. Capital expenditures for the six months of $0.4 billion were comparable to the same period last year. Net assets of businesses acquired were $3 million for the six months compared to $1.9 billion for the same period last year due to the acquisition of Neovia in 2019. Net consideration received for beneficial interest obtained for selling trade receivables was $2.5 billion for the six months compared to $3.6 billion the same period last year.
Cash used in financing activities was $0.2 billion for the six months compared to cash provided of $0.3 billion for the same period last year. Long-term debt borrowings for the six months of $1.5 billion consisted of the $0.5 billion and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amounts of 2.75% Notes due in 2025 and 3.25% Notes due in 2030, respectively, issued on March 27, 2020 compared to long-term borrowings of $2 million for the same period last year. Commercial paper net payments for the six months were $0.7 billion compared to net borrowings of $1.4 billion for the same period last year. Proceeds from the borrowings in the current period will be used for general corporate purposes, including the reduction of short-term debt. Long-term debt payments for the six months of $0.5 billion related to the early redemption of the $0.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.479% debentures due in 2021 compared to $0.6 billion for the same period last year which primarily related to the €0.5 billion Floating Rate Notes that matured in June 2019. Share repurchases of $0.1 billion and dividends of $0.4 billion for the six months were comparable to the same period last year.
At June 30, 2020, the Company had $1.2 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities and a current ratio, defined as current assets divided by current liabilities, of 1.7 to 1. Included in working capital was $4.6 billion of readily marketable commodity inventories. At June 30, 2020, the Company’s capital resources included shareholders’ equity of $19.3 billion and lines of credit, including the accounts receivable securitization programs described below, totaling $10.9 billion, of which $9.7 billion was unused. The Company’s ratio of long-term debt to total capital (the sum of the Company’s long-term debt and shareholders’ equity) was 31% and 29% at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company uses this ratio as a measure of the Company’s long-term indebtedness and an indicator of financial flexibility. The Company’s ratio of net debt (the sum of short-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt, and long-term debt less the sum of cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities) to capital (the sum of net debt and shareholders’ equity) was 29% at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Of the Company’s total lines of credit, $5.0 billion supported the combined U.S. and European commercial paper borrowing programs, against which there was no commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2020.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

COVID-19 has not significantly impacted ADM’s capital and financial resources, and pricing on its revolving credit facility remains unchanged. However, in line with the overall markets, COVID-19 has created dislocations in the credit markets during certain periods in the first half of 2020 with corporate spreads increasing, partially offset by a decline in benchmark yields. The Company has utilized its diversified sources of liquidity, including its inventory financing and bilateral bank facilities, to ensure it has ample cash and is prepared for possible unexpected credit market disruptions. Additionally, ADM has been accepted into the Federal Reserve’s Commercial Paper Financing Facility and the Bank of England’s Covid Corporate Financing Facility ensuring uninterrupted access to both the U.S. and European commercial paper markets. To date, the Company has not utilized these facilities.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $1.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents, $0.5 billion of which was cash held by foreign subsidiaries whose undistributed earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. Based on the Company’s historical ability to generate sufficient cash flows from its U.S. operations and unused and available U.S. credit capacity of $7.0 billion, the Company has asserted that these funds are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S.
The Company has accounts receivable securitization programs (the “Programs”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers. The Programs provide the Company with up to $1.8 billion in funding against accounts receivable transferred into the Programs and expands the Company’s access to liquidity through efficient use of its balance sheet assets (see Note 16 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1 herein, “Financial Statements” for more information and disclosures on the Programs). As of June 30, 2020, the Company utilized $0.6 billion of its facility under the Programs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company spent approximately $0.4 billion in capital expenditures, $0.4 billion in dividends, and $0.1 billion in share repurchases. The Company has a stock repurchase program. Under the program, the Company acquired 3.8 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and has 105 million shares remaining that may be repurchased until December 31, 2024.
The Company expects capital expenditures of approximately $0.8 billion, dividends of $0.8 billion, and share repurchases of $0.1 billion during 2020.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The Company’s purchase obligations as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $13.2 billion and $12.2 billion, respectively. The increase is primarily related to energy commitments and obligations to purchase higher quantities of agricultural commodity inventories. As of June 30, 2020, the Company expects to make payments related to purchase obligations of $12.2 billion within the next twelve months. There were no other material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
In June 2020, the Company extended its accounts receivable securitization program (the “First Program”) with certain commercial and conduit purchases and committed purchasers (collectively, the “First Purchasers”) and decreased its facility from $1.3 billion to $1.2 billion. The First Program terminates on September 18, 2020 unless extended (see Note 16 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1 herein, “Financial Statements” for more information and disclosures on the Programs.
There were no other material changes in the Company’s off balance sheet arrangements during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Critical Accounting Policies
There were no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

The availability and prices of agricultural commodities are subject to wide fluctuations due to factors such as changes in weather conditions, crop disease, plantings, government programs and policies, competition, changes in global demand, changes in customer preferences and standards of living, and global production of similar and competitive crops.
The fair value of the Company’s commodity position is a summation of the fair values calculated for each commodity by valuing all of the commodity positions at quoted market prices for the period, where available, or utilizing a close proxy. The Company has established metrics to monitor the amount of market risk exposure, which consist of volumetric limits and value-at-risk (“VaR”) limits. VaR measures the potential loss, at a 95% confidence level, that could be incurred over a one-year period. Volumetric limits are monitored daily and VaR calculations and sensitivity analysis are monitored weekly.
In addition to measuring the hypothetical loss resulting from an adverse two standard deviation move in market prices (assuming no correlations) over a one-year period using VaR, sensitivity analysis is performed measuring the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in market prices. The highest, lowest, and average weekly position together with the market risk from a hypothetical 10% adverse price change is as follows:

The change in fair value of the average position was the result of a decrease in average quantities underlying the weekly commodity position partially offset by an increase in prices.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
As of June 30, 2020, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with 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 (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) 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.
During 2018, the Company launched Readiness to drive new efficiencies and improve the customer experience in the Company’s existing businesses through a combination of data analytics, process simplification and standardization, and behavioral and cultural change, building upon its earlier 1ADM and operational excellence programs. As part of this transformation, the Company is implementing a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system on a worldwide basis, which is expected to occur in phases over the next several years. The Company continues to consider these changes in its design of and testing for effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and concluded, as part of the evaluation described in the above paragraph, that the implementation of the new ERP in these circumstances has not materially affected its internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
|
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|
The Company is routinely involved in a number of actual or threatened legal actions, including those involving alleged personal injuries, employment law, product liability, intellectual property, environmental issues, alleged tax liability (see Note 10 for information on income tax matters), and class actions. The Company also routinely receives inquiries from regulators and other government authorities relating to various aspects of our business, and at any given time, the Company has matters at various stages of resolution. The outcomes of these matters are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In some actions, claimants seek damages, as well as other relief including injunctive relief, that could require significant expenditures or result in lost revenues. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for material loss contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. When determining the estimated loss or range of loss, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. Estimates of probable losses resulting from litigation and governmental proceedings involving the Company are inherently difficult to predict, particularly when the matters are in early procedural stages, with incomplete facts or legal discovery; involve unsubstantiated or indeterminate claims for damages; potentially involve penalties, fines, disgorgement, or punitive damages; or could result in a change in business practice.
On September 4, 2019, AOT Holding AG (“AOT”) filed a putative class action under the U.S. Commodities Exchange Act in federal district court in Urbana, Illinois, alleging that the Company sought to manipulate the benchmark price used to price and settle ethanol derivatives traded on futures exchanges. AOT alleges that members of the putative class suffered “hundreds of millions of dollars in damages” as a result of the Company’s alleged actions. In May 2020, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss, and the parties are engaged in discovery. On July 14, 2020, a putative class action lawsuit, alleging substantially the same operative facts, was filed in federal court in Nebraska by Green Plains Inc. and its related entities, seeking to represent all sellers of ethanol. On July 23, 2020, Midwest Renewable Energy, LLC filed a putative class action in federal court in Illinois alleging substantially the same operative facts and asserting claims under the Sherman Act. The Company denies liability, and is vigorously defending itself in these actions. As these actions are in pretrial proceedings, the Company is unable at this time to predict the final outcome with any reasonable degree of certainty, but believes the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
On September 5, 2019, D&M Farms, Mark Hasty, and Dustin Land filed a putative class action on behalf of a purported class of peanut farmers under the U.S. federal antitrust laws in federal court in Norfolk, Virginia, alleging that the Company’s subsidiary, Golden Peanut, and another peanut shelling company, conspired to fix the price they paid to farmers for raw peanuts. In May 2020, the court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss, and the parties are engaged in discovery. The Company denies liability and is vigorously defending itself, in this action. As this action is in pretrial proceedings, the Company is unable at this time to predict the final outcome with any reasonable degree of certainty, but believes the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceeding or environmental claim that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

RISK FACTORS
|
The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Except as presented below, there were no other significant changes in the Company’s risk factors during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
The Company faces risks related to health epidemics, pandemics, and similar outbreaks.
ADM is monitoring the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and taking steps to mitigate the potential risks posed by its spread, including working with its customers, employees, suppliers, local communities, and other stakeholders. COVID-19 or other health epidemics, pandemics, or similar outbreaks could impact the Company’s operations if significant portions of its workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures, or other restrictions. In such circumstances, ADM may be unable to perform fully on its contracts, supply chain may be affected, and costs may increase. These cost increases may not be fully recoverable or adequately covered by insurance. In addition, a prolonged outbreak of COVID-19 or a resurgence of the virus in the future may have a material impact on demand for certain products that ADM produces, particularly biofuels and ingredients that go into food and beverages that service the food services channels. The Company cannot at this time predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its future financial or operational results, but the impact could potentially be material over time.
