·      Overview

 

Alberto Weisser, Bunge’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We posted good second quarter results.  Agribusiness and food & ingredients did well in the quarter, and we anticipate a solid performance in these segments in the second half of the year.  We also anticipate increased contributions from sugar & bioenergy and fertilizer, as these two businesses enter their high-volume seasons.

 

“The agribusiness and food markets are characterized by steady overall growth, as well as natural volatility due to weather and other factors.  2011 has not been an exception.  Global trade in grains and oilseeds is robust, and with the Black Sea region recently reopened for exports, we expect to see additional shifts in trade flows as the world adjusts to a new supply and demand relationship among regions.

 

“With our global asset network and excellent risk management capabilities, we are well positioned to capture this growth and respond to these changes.  The recent addition of our first deep water port terminal on the Black Sea, which scaled up operations in Ukraine during the second quarter, makes our network even stronger.”

 

·      Second Quarter Results

 

Agribusiness

 

Results in the second quarter improved in most parts of the agribusiness chain when compared to last year.  Large harvests in South America benefitted our grain business and oilseed processing operations in Brazil and Argentina.  Performance in Europe and the U.S. improved compared to a challenging prior year period.  Risk management strategies worked well.  Volume, while slightly higher in the quarter, continued to be impacted by lower merchandising and processing volumes in Europe due to the smaller crop production in the Black Sea region last year.  Results in the quarter included a $37 million gain related to the sale of our interest in a European oilseed processing facility joint venture.

 

Sugar & Bioenergy

 

Improved results in the quarter compared to last year came from sugarcane milling, which benefitted from higher sugar and ethanol prices and increased sales volume, as all mills were operating during the quarter.  Merchandising experienced lower volumes and margins. The second quarter is typically the weakest period for this segment, as it marks the beginning of the sugarcane harvest in the Center-South of Brazil when the sugar content of the sugarcane is at its lowest level.  Consequently, mills produce less sugar and ethanol per unit of sugarcane milled than they will in the second half of the year when the yield increases.

 

Edible Oil Products

 

Strong results in North America and Brazil primarily due to improved margins were partially offset by lower results in Europe, which experienced aggressive competition in certain markets.  Second quarter 2010 results included $23 million of charges in our Brazilian business.

 

2



 

Milling Products

 

Higher results in the quarter were due to stronger margins in wheat and corn milling.  Second quarter 2010 results included $8 million of charges in wheat milling.

 

Fertilizer

 

Volume trend in 2011 is improving, and we are making progress toward our market share targets.  Margins were strong, benefitting from good farm economics and improved risk management.  Results in the quarter were adversely impacted by approximately $17 million of net charges primarily related to inventory adjustments and bad debt in our Brazilian business.  Last year included the gain on the sale, and approximately two months of results, from our Brazilian fertilizer nutrients assets that were sold in May 2010.

 

Financial Costs

 

Interest expense decreased in the quarter due to lower average interest rates on debt.

 

Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 11% compared to 23% for the same period last year, which reflected the impact of the gain on the sale of our fertilizer nutrients assets in the period.

 

·      Outlook

 

Drew Burke, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We expect a good second half with results weighted to the fourth quarter.  The agribusiness markets will be characterized by the Northern Hemisphere harvests and continued strong global trade in response to the relatively tight supply situation.  We expect our agribusiness results to continue to be driven by our grain business.  Oilseed processing margins in the U.S. should improve from current low levels when harvest commences and plants run at higher utilization.  However, margins are likely to remain under some pressure due to excess processing capacity and the long tail of the South American harvest that will continue to attract export demand.  In Europe, the smaller rapeseed crop due to poor weather may pressure margins; however, the sunseed harvest is expected to be large, providing an offset, as should imports from the Americas.  Oilseed processing in China, which has been weak, is showing improvement and should continue to progress throughout the year as the market works through the excess supply.

 

“In sugar & bioenergy, we expect to mill approximately 15.5 million metric tons of sugarcane, which is about a million metric tons below our previous estimate.  This reduction reflects the impact of adverse weather on the development of the sugarcane.  However, tight global sugar supplies, strong demand for ethanol in Brazil and ongoing concern about Brazil’s sugarcane crop should be supportive of prices.  As a result, our expectations for the year have not changed.

 

“Food & ingredients should continue to perform well, and the tough competitive environment we have seen in some edible oil markets this year is showing signs of improvement.

 

“In fertilizer, farm economics are strong, South America is entering its high volume period and our expectations for the business are on track. The Brazilian industry is expecting annual volume growth of approximately 7%, which implies that there is about 60% of the total volume remaining to be sold between July and December.

“Lastly, we are reducing our full year effective tax rate expectation to approximately 10%.”

·      Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

 

This earnings release contains certain “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Bunge has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures below.  These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

 

Total segment EBIT

 

Total segment EBIT is consolidated net income attributable to Bunge excluding interest income and expense and income tax attributable to each segment.

 

Total segment EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace net income attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Total segment earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) is an operating performance measure used by Bunge’s management to evaluate its segments’ operating activities.  Bunge’s management believes total segment EBIT is a useful measure of its segments’ operating profitability, since the measure allows for an evaluation of the performance of its segments without regard to its financing methods or capital structure.  In addition, EBIT is a financial measure that is widely used by analysts and investors in Bunge’s industries.  Total segment EBIT is not a measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP.

 

Below is a reconciliation of total segment EBIT to net income attributable to Bunge:

Earnings per common share-diluted (excluding certain gains and charges) is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not a measure of earnings per common share-diluted, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

·                  Notes

 

(1)          In January 2010, Bunge entered into a definitive agreement (as amended, the Agreement) with Vale S.A., a Brazil-based global mining company (Vale), pursuant to which Vale acquired Bunge’s fertilizer nutrients assets in Brazil, including its interest in Fertilizantes Fosfatados S.A. (Fosfertil) on May 27, 2010 for cash proceeds of $3.9 billion.  Bunge recognized a $2.4 billion gain, net of transaction costs ($1.9 billion gain, net of tax) in its fertilizer segment.   Of the $539 million of income tax expense on the gain, $280 million was paid during the year ended December 31, 2010 and approximately $259 million was offset by deferred tax assets and other tax credits and therefore did not result in cash tax payments. Approximately $57 million related to the post-closing working capital adjustment was received in the third quarter of 2010.  Approximately $144 million of transaction costs and $280 of withholding taxes are included as a component of cash used for operating activities and gross proceeds of $3.8 billion as a component of cash provided by investing activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

 

(2)          In the second quarter of 2010, Bunge recorded a pretax charge of $37 million in cost of goods sold related to an inventory valuation adjustment due to changes in its fertilizer segment.

 

(3)          In the second quarter of 2010, Bunge recorded pretax restructuring charges in selling, general and administrative expenses related to consolidation of Brazilian operations ($4 million in the agribusiness segment, $3 million in the sugar and bioenergy segment, $2 million in the edible oil products segment and $3 million in the milling products segment)   Pretax restructuring charges in cost of goods sold in the first quarter related to termination benefit costs in the U.S. and Brazil ($5 million in the agribusiness segment, $1 million in the sugar and bioenergy segment, $4 million in the fertilizer segment, and $1 million in the milling segment).

 

Pre-tax impairment charges recorded in cost of goods sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 primarily consisted of $9 million in the agribusiness segment, which related to the closure of an older, less efficient oilseed processing facility in the U.S. and $2 million in the milling products segment, which related to the closure of a co-located corn oil extraction line.

 

(4)          In the second quarter of 2011, Bunge recorded a pretax gain of $37 million in the agribusiness segment in equity in earnings of affiliates related to the sale of its interest in a European oilseed processing facility joint venture.

 

(5)          In the first quarter of 2010, Bunge acquired a 100% ownership interest in five sugar mills in Brazil and recorded pretax acquisition costs of $11 million in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

(6)          Includes interest expense on readily marketable inventories of $32 million and $20 million for quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $60 million and $33 million for six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

(7)          Weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 exclude the dilutive effect of approximately 1 million and 2 million respectively, of outstanding stock options and contingently issuable restricted stock units because the effect of conversion would not have been dilutive.  Weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 includes the dilutive effect of 7.5 million weighted average common shares that would be issuable upon conversion of Bunge’s convertible preference shares.

 

Weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 exclude the dilutive effect of approximately 3 million of outstanding stock options and contingently issuable restricted stock units because the effect of conversion would not have been dilutive.  Weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 includes the dilutive effect of 14.6 million weighted average common shares that would be issuable upon conversion of Bunge’s convertible preference shares.

 

(8)          See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures.

 

(9)          Includes readily marketable inventories of $4,900 million and $4,851 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

 

(10)    Includes marketable securities of $65 million and $39 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
