·                  Overview

 

Alberto Weisser, Bunge’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “Bunge produced strong results in the third quarter.  In agribusiness, our skilled team managed risks well and leveraged our global asset network to serve customers in a volatile market.  Our sugar & bioenergy and food & ingredients businesses also performed well, and while fertilizer is performing below its full potential, we are making steady progress in restructuring the business following the sale of our Brazilian nutrients assets in the second quarter.

 

“Demand for our core products is strong, and the world needs greater agricultural production and efficient global trade to meet the needs of end customers and overcome dislocations caused by adverse weather in certain producing regions. We expect price volatility to persist in the near term due to the tight supply environment.  Bunge’s excellent risk management, strong balance sheet and global asset network make us well-positioned to grow profitably in this environment.”

 

·                  Third Quarter Results

 

Agribusiness

 

Higher results in our grain merchandising business, in which we effectively managed risk in a volatile environment while meeting the product needs of our customers, were partially offset by lower results in oilseed processing, which were impacted by lower margins.  Impairment charges of $22 million were recorded in the period, primarily related to a European oilseed processing and refining facility.

 

Sugar & Bioenergy

 

Higher results in the quarter reflect the addition of Moema, which was acquired earlier this year, and a solid performance in our merchandising business, which benefited from strong demand and good risk management.  These results were partially offset by delays and start-up costs at our Pedro Afonso and Santa Juliana mills, as well as a $26 million mark-to-market charge on futures contracts primarily hedging a portion of 2011 sugar production.  These charges will be offset when the sugar is sold.  Higher SG&A reflects the addition of Moema.

 

Fertilizer

 

Results in the quarter were significantly improved from the prior year period.  Higher margins in Brazil were partially offset by lower volumes.  Our Argentine business performed well in the quarter.  Higher equity in earnings of affiliates reflects results of our Moroccan joint venture with OCP, which was in start-up last year.

 

2



 

Edible Oil Products

 

Improved margins in our Brazilian packaged oil and margarine businesses were partially offset by lower results in Europe, which were impacted by tight raw material supplies in certain regions due to the late sunseed harvest.  Impairment charges of $27 million were recorded in the period, primarily related to a European oilseed processing and refining facility, as well as the closing of a production facility which occurred as part of our plan to improve the efficiency of our European footprint.

 

Milling Products

 

Higher earnings in the quarter were primarily driven by improved margins in wheat milling resulting from the combination of higher local sales prices and lower raw material costs, as much of our inventory was purchased prior to the rise in global wheat prices.  Third quarter 2010 results included a $6 million gain on the sale of an idled wheat milling facility in Brazil.

 

Financial Costs

 

Interest expense decreased in the quarter primarily due to lower average debt levels and borrowing costs.  During the third quarter, the company incurred approximately $90 million of expenses related to make-whole payments in connection with the repayment of debt with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Brazilian fertilizer nutrients assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 24% compared to a tax benefit of $52 million for the same period last year.

 

Cash Flow

 

Cash used by operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,620 million.  The negative cash flow from operations in the period was primarily due to increased working capital resulting from higher commodity prices.  Also impacting cash flow were payments of withholding taxes and transaction costs totaling $424 million related to the sale of the Brazilian fertilizer nutrients assets.  Cash used by operations in the same period last year was $547 million.

 

·                  Outlook

 

Drew Burke, Interim Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Looking to the fourth quarter, agribusiness should continue its strong performance.  The U.S. harvest is progressing well, providing our grain merchandising operations with ample supplies to originate, store, and transport.  Global trade should remain strong as other geographies step in to serve

 

3



 

demand impacted by the crop shortage in the Black Sea region.  Though still under some pressure, oilseed processing margins in the Northern Hemisphere have improved with the start of the harvest and higher inclusion of soymeal in European feed rations due to the lower availability of wheat.  Fertilizer demand should benefit from the delayed start to planting due to poor weather conditions in Brazil.  Sugar & bioenergy market trends are positive, but there is weather-related risk to milling volume.   Food & ingredients should have a solid end to the year.

 

“Given this outlook, we expect to achieve or exceed our 2010 full-year earnings guidance range of $3.25 to $3.50 per share.  This guidance excludes $1,714 million of notable items recorded in the first nine months of the year. It also assumes an effective tax rate of 20% to 24% and is based on 156 million shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis, which reflects shares repurchased to date through our share buyback program and assumed dilution relating to our convertible preference shares.”

(1)          In July 2010, Bunge repaid certain term loans and subsidiary long-term debt with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Brazilian fertilizer nutrients assets.  These transactions resulted in a loss on extinguishment of the debt totaling approximately $90 million related to make-whole payments.

 

(2)          In January 2010, Bunge and two of its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into a definitive agreement (as amended, the Agreement) with Vale S.A., a Brazil-based global mining company (Vale), and an affiliate of Vale, pursuant to which Vale would acquire Bunge’s fertilizer nutrients assets in Brazil, including its interest in Fertilizantes Fosfatados S.A. (Fosfertil).  The transaction closed on May 27, 2010 for cash proceeds of $3.9 billion and Bunge recognized a gain of $2.4 billion ($1.9 billion net of tax) in its fertilizer segment. Included in the calculation of the gain is $152 million of transactions costs incurred in connection with the divestiture. Total income tax associated with the transaction was $539 million, of which $280 million was paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and approximately $259 million is expected to be offset by deferred tax assets and other tax credits and therefore is not expected to 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 million of withholding taxes are included as a component of cash used for operating activities in Bunge’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.  Gross proceeds of $3.9 billion are included as a component of cash provided by investing activities in Bunge’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

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

 

(4)          In the second quarter of 2010, Bunge recorded pretax restructuring charges of $12 million related to our Brazilian operations, of which $4 million was 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, in selling, general and administrative expenses in its condensed consolidated statement of income.  Pre-tax restructuring and related charges recorded in cost of goods sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 consisted primarily of termination benefit costs in the U.S. and Brazil, of which $5 million were 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.

 

In the third quarter of 2010, Bunge recorded pretax impairment charges of $49 million, which consisted of $42 million related to the write-down of a European oilseed processing and refining facility, $5 million in connection with the closure of an edible oils facility in Europe as part of our plan to improve our European footprint and $2 million related to the write-down of administrative offices in Brazil.  Of these total charges of $49 million, $22 million was recorded in the agribusiness segment and $27 was recorded in the edible oil products 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.

 

(5)          In the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Bunge acquired a 100% ownership interest in five sugar mills in Brazil.  In connection with these transactions, Bunge recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses pretax acquisition-related expenses of $11 million.

 

(6)          In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, Bunge sold an idled wheat milling facility in Brazil for approximately $8 million in cash, which resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $6 million recorded in other income/expense-net in the condensed consolidated statement of income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

(7)          In the second quarter of 2009, Bunge reversed a $32 million provision recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, related to transactional taxes in its fertilizer segment, which resulted from new Brazilian legislation.

Note 1:          See the Additional Financial Information section.

 

Note 2:          Includes interest expense on readily marketable inventories of $23 million and $34 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $56 million and $62 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Note 3:          Weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted excludes the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and contingently issuable restricted stock units of approximately 3.5 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and approximately 2 million for quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010 excludes approximately 7.1 million and includes approximately 14.6 million, respectively, 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 ended September 30, 2009 includes the dilutive effect of approximately 14.6 million weighted average common shares that would be issuable upon conversion of Bunge’s convertible preference shares because the effect of the conversion would have been dilutive.  Weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 includes the dilutive effect of approximately 7.5 million weighted average common shares that would be issuable upon conversion of Bunge’s convertible perpetual preference shares because the effect of the conversion would have been dilutive.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

 

This earnings release contains total segment earnings before interest and tax (“EBIT”), which is “non-GAAP financial measures” as this term is defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  In accordance with Regulation G, Bunge has reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

 

Total segment earnings before interest and tax

 

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 EBIT is an operating performance measure used by Bunge’s management to evaluate its segments’ operating activities.  Bunge believes EBIT is a useful measure of its segments’ operating profitability, since the measure reflects equity in earnings of affiliates and minority interest and excludes income tax.  Income tax is excluded as management believes income tax is not material to the operating performance of its segments.  Interest income and expense have become less meaningful to the segments’ operating activities as Bunge is financing more of its working capital with equity rather than debt.  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:
