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 for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

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.

On June 6, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of the remaining 20% minority interest in Alfred C. Toepfer International (Toepfer), a global merchandiser of agricultural commodities and processed products, for $157 million. The excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the associated noncontrolling interest of $12 million was recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the amended guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the Company to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or if the Company does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability in the financial statements and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of this amended guidance does not have an impact on the Company’s financial results.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the amended guidance of ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), which requires the Company to transfer currency translation adjustments from other comprehensive income into net income in certain circumstances. The amended guidance aims to resolve diversity in practice as to whether ASC Topic 810, Consolidation or Topic 830 applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity, or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s current period results. If the Company disposes all or part of a qualifying foreign entity, it will be required to release the portion of cumulative translation adjustment applicable to the disposed entity.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the amended guidance of ASC Topic 405, Liabilities, which addresses the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, for which the total amount under the arrangement is fixed at the reporting date. The amended guidance aims to resolve diversity in practice among companies that are subject to joint and several liabilities. The retrospective adoption of this amended guidance did not have an impact on current and prior period results and is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s financial results.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation (Continued)

Last-in, First-out (LIFO) Inventories

Interim period LIFO calculations are based on interim period costs and management’s estimates of year-end inventory levels.  Because the availability and price of agricultural commodity-based LIFO inventories are unpredictable due to factors such as weather, government farm programs and policies, and changes in global demand, quantities of LIFO-based inventories at interim periods may vary significantly from management’s estimates of year-end inventory levels.

Note 2. Pending Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which limits the definition of discontinued operations as only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amended guidance also expands the definition of discontinued operations to include a business or nonprofit activity that, on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale and a disposal of an equity method investment that meets the definition of discontinued operations. The amended guidance requires the Company to report discontinued operations if (1) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria in Topic 205 to be classified as held for sale; (2) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; or (3) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed other than by sale. The Company will be required to adopt the presentation and expanded disclosure requirements of the amended guidance prospectively. The adoption of this amended guidance may change financial statement presentation and require expanded disclosures but will not impact financial results.

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which seeks to resolve the diversity in practice that exists when accounting for share-based payments. The amended guidance requires a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period to be treated as a performance condition. The Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance either prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amended guidance to impact financial results.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company will be required to adopt the new guidance of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Topic 606 requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires the Company to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company will be required to adopt Topic 606 either on a full retrospective basis to each prior reporting period presented or on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application. If the Company elects the modified retrospective approach, it will be required to provide additional disclosures of the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period, as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Estimated fair values for inventories carried at market are based on exchange-quoted prices, adjusted for differences in local markets, broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either listed or over-the-counter (OTC) markets.  Market valuations for the Company’s inventories are adjusted for location and quality because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts that have standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade. When unobservable inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the inventory is classified as Level 3. Changes in the fair value of inventories are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as a component of cost of products sold.

Note 3. 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 the fair value tables.  Fair value for forward commodity purchase and sale contracts is estimated based on exchange-quoted prices adjusted for differences in local markets.  These differences are generally determined using inputs from broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either the listed or OTC markets.  When observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the contract, it is classified in Level 2.  When unobservable inputs have a significant impact 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 statements 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 statements of earnings as a component of revenues, cost of products sold, and other (income) expense – net. The effective portions of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets 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 marketable securities are comprised of equity investments, U.S. Treasury securities, obligations of U.S. government agencies, and other debt securities.  Publicly traded equity investments and U.S. Treasury securities are valued using quoted market prices and are classified in Level 1.  U.S. government agency obligations and corporate and municipal debt securities are valued using third-party pricing services and substantially all are classified in Level 2. Unrealized changes in the fair value of available-for-sale marketable securities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of AOCI unless a decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary at which point the decline is recorded in earnings.

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 programs (the “Programs”) which represents notes receivable from the purchasers under the Programs. This amount is reflected in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet (see Notes 6 and 14). The Company carries the deferred 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 consideration is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred under the Programs which have historically been insignificant.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

For all periods presented, the Company had no transfers between Level 1 and 2. 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.

In some cases, the price components that result in differences between the exchange-traded prices and the local prices 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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, 2014 is a weighted average 16.9% of the total price for assets and 17.8% for liabilities.

	Weighted Average % of Total Price
	June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
Component Type	Assets		Liabilities		Assets		Liabilities
Inventories and Related Payables
Basis	16.9	%	17.8	%	21.9	%	13.2	%
Transportation cost	5.0	%	—	%	12.3	%	—	%
Commodity Derivative Contracts
Basis	22.6	%	19.6	%	22.8	%	17.6	%
Transportation cost	4.9	%	6.4	%	32.5	%	12.3	%

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, the Company considers these price quotes as 100 percent unobservable and, therefore, the fair value of these items is reported in Level 3.

Note 4. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Within the Note 4 tables, zeros represent minimal amounts.

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 commodity 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, are stated at market value.  Inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, which include amounts acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value.  Inventory is not a derivative and therefore fair values of and changes in fair values of inventories are not included in the tables below.

The following table sets forth the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, which include amounts acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value. Changes in the market value of inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, forward cash purchase and sales contracts, exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts are recognized in earnings immediately.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow or Fair Value Hedging Strategies

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has certain derivatives designated as cash flow and fair value hedges.

Note 4. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Continued)

The Company uses interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to protect the fair value of fixed-rate debt due to changes in interest rates. The changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and the underlying fixed-rate debt are recorded in other (income) expense - net. The terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the underlying debt resulting in no ineffectiveness. At June 30, 2014, the Company has $17 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 impact to earnings.

For each of the commodity hedge programs described below, the derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges.  Assuming normal market conditions, the changes in the market value of such derivative contracts have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting changes in price movements of the hedged item.  Once the hedged item is recognized in earnings, the gains/losses arising from the hedge are reclassified from AOCI to either revenues, cost of products sold, interest expense or other income (expense) – net, as applicable.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company has $32 million of after-tax losses in AOCI related to gains and losses from commodity cash flow hedge transactions.  The Company expects to recognize all of these after-tax losses in its consolidated statement of earnings during the next 12 months.

The Company, from time to time, uses futures or options contracts to fix the purchase price of anticipated volumes of corn to be purchased and processed in a future month.  The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s forecasted purchases of corn.  The Company’s corn processing plants currently grind approximately 76 million bushels of corn per month.  During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 16% and 71% of its monthly anticipated grind.  At June 30, 2014, the Company has designated hedges representing between 1% and 60% 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 fix 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 10 million and 121 million gallons of ethanol sales per month under these programs.  For the next 12 months, the Company has designated hedges representing between 7 million and 95 million gallons of ethanol sales per month.

The following table sets forth the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Hedge ineffectiveness for commodity contracts results when the change in the price of the underlying commodity in a specific cash market differs from the change in the price of the derivative financial instrument used to establish the hedging relationship.  As an example, if the change in the price of a corn futures contract is strongly correlated to the change in cash price paid for corn, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is deferred and recognized at the time the corn grind occurs.  If the change in price of the derivative does not strongly correlate to the change in the cash price of corn, in the same example, some portion or all of the derivative gains or losses may be required to be recognized in earnings prior to the corn grind occurring.

The Company evaluated the near-term prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment.  Based on that evaluation and the Company’s ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014.

Note 8. Debt and Financing Arrangements

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding $1.15 billion principal amount of convertible senior notes (the “Notes”) due in February 2014. On February 18, 2014, the Notes were repaid with available funds.

At June 30, 2014, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt exceeded the carrying value by $1.2 billion, as estimated using quoted market prices (a Level 2 measurement under applicable accounting standards).

At June 30, 2014, the Company had lines of credit totaling $6.9 billion, of which $6.7 billion was unused.  Of the Company’s total lines of credit, $4.0 billion support a commercial paper borrowing facility, against which there was no commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2014.

The Company has accounts receivable securitization programs (the “Programs”). The Programs provide the Company with up to $1.6 billion in funding resulting from the sale of accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2014, the Company utilized $0.4 billion of its facility under the Programs (see Note 14 for more information on the Programs).

Note 9. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 27.6% and 27.3%, respectively, compared to 28.7% and 28.3% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, due primarily to changes in the forecasted geographic mix of pretax earnings.

The Company is subject to income taxation in many jurisdictions around the world. The Company is subject to routine examination by domestic and foreign tax authorities 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.  Resolution of the related tax positions, through negotiation 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. In its routine evaluations of the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company recognizes a liability, when necessary, for estimated potential additional tax owed by the Company in accordance with the applicable accounting standard.  However, the Company cannot predict or provide assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these ongoing or future examinations.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ADM do Brasil Ltda. (ADM do Brasil), received three separate tax assessments from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service(BFRS)challenging the tax deductibility of commodity hedging losses and related expenses for the tax years 2004, 2006, and 2007. As of June 30, 2014, these assessments, updated for estimated penalties, interest, and variation in currency exchange rates, totaled approximately $577 million. ADM do Brasil’s tax return for 2005 was also audited and no assessment was received. The statutes of limitation for 2005 and 2008 have expired. If the BFRS were to challenge commodity hedging deductions in tax years after 2008, the Company estimates it could face additional claims of approximately $38 million (based on currency exchange rates as of June 30, 2014).

ADM do Brasil enters into commodity hedging transactions that can result in gains, which are included in ADM do Brasil’s calculations of taxable income in Brazil, and losses, which ADM do Brasil deducts from its taxable income in Brazil. The Company has evaluated its tax position regarding these hedging transactions and concluded, based upon advice from Brazilian legal counsel, that it was appropriate to recognize both gains and losses resulting from hedging transactions when determining its Brazilian income tax expense. Therefore, the Company has continued to recognize the tax benefit from hedging losses in its financial statements and has not recorded any tax liability for the amounts assessed by the BFRS.

ADM do Brasil filed an administrative appeal for each of the assessments. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the appeal panel found in favor of the BFRS on the 2004 assessment and ADM do Brasil filed a second level administrative appeal, which is still ongoing. In January of 2012, the appeal panel found in favor of the BFRS on the 2006 and 2007 assessments and ADM do Brasil filed a second level administrative appeal, which is still ongoing. If ADM do Brasil continues to be unsuccessful in the administrative appellate process, it intends to file appeals in the Brazilian federal courts. While the Company believes its consolidated financial statements properly reflect the tax deductibility of these hedging losses, the ultimate resolution of this matter could result in the future recognition of additional payments of, and expense for, income tax and the associated interest and penalties.

The Company’s subsidiaries in Argentina have received tax assessments challenging transfer prices used to price grain exports totaling $37 million (inclusive of interest and adjusted for variation in currency exchange rates) for the tax years 2004 and 2005. The Argentine tax authorities have been conducting 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. While the Company believes that it has complied with all Argentine tax laws, it cannot rule out receiving additional assessments challenging transfer prices used to price grain exports for years subsequent to 2005, and estimates that these potential assessments would be approximately $466 million (as of June 30, 2014 and subject to variation in currency exchange rates).  The Company intends to vigorously defend its position against the current assessments and any similar assessments that may be issued for years subsequent to 2005. 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 concluded that it is more likely than not to prevail on the Brazil and Argentina matters based upon their technical merits. The Company has not recorded an uncertain tax liability for these assessments partly because the taxing jurisdictions’ processes do not provide a mechanism for settling at less than the full amount of the assessment. The Company’s consideration of these tax assessments requires judgments about the application of income tax regulations to specific facts and circumstances. The final outcome of these matters cannot reliably be predicted, may take many years to resolve, and could result in the payment and expense of up to the entire amount of these assessments.

Note 12.     Segment Information

The Company is principally engaged in procuring, transporting, storing, processing, and merchandising agricultural commodities and products. The Company’s operations are organized, managed and classified into three reportable business segments: Oilseeds Processing, Corn Processing, and Agricultural Services. Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services offered. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Other.

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 segment operating profit is equity in earnings of affiliates based on the equity method of accounting. Certain Corporate items are not allocated to the Company’s reportable business segments. Corporate results principally include the impact of LIFO-related adjustments, unallocated corporate expenses, and interest cost net of investment income. Corporate results also include the after-tax elimination of income attributable to the minority shareholder of Toepfer. The Company acquired the remaining 20% minority interest in Toepfer during the second quarter of 2014, thus no longer requiring the elimination of income attributable to the minority shareholder at June 30, 2014.

For detailed information regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Note 13.     Asset Impairment, Exit, and Restructuring Costs

Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 of $31 million consisted of costs associated with the relocation of the Company’s global headquarters to Chicago, IL of $16 million and restructuring charges related to Toepfer integration following the acquisition of the minority interest and other restructuring charges of $15 million.

Note 14.     Sale of Accounts Receivable

Since March 2012, the Company has had an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”). Under the 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 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 Program terminates on June 26, 2015, unless extended.

In March 2014, the Company entered into a second 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”). ADM Ireland Receivables in turn transfers 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 receives a cash payment of up to $0.4 billion and an additional amount upon the collection of the accounts receivable (deferred consideration). The Second Program terminates on March 20, 2015, unless extended.

Under the Program and Second Program (collectively, the “Programs”), ADM Receivables and ADM Ireland Receivables use the cash proceeds from the transfer of receivables to the Purchasers and Second Purchasers and other consideration 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. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of trade receivables transferred to the Purchasers and Second Purchasers under the Programs and derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was $0.6 billion, and $1.9 billion, respectively. In exchange for the transfer as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company received cash of $0.4 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, and recorded a receivable for deferred consideration included in other current assets of $0.2 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively. Cash collections from customers on receivables sold were $14.7 billion and $18.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Of this amount, $13.6 billion and $18.9 billion pertain to cash collections on the deferred consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Deferred consideration is paid to the Company in cash on behalf of the Purchasers and Second Purchasers as receivables are collected; however, as these are revolving facilities, cash collected from the Company’s customers is reinvested by the Purchasers and Second Purchasers daily in new receivable purchases under the Programs.

The Company’s risk of loss following the transfer of accounts receivable under the Programs is limited to the deferred consideration outstanding. The Company carries the deferred 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 consideration is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred under the Programs which have historically been insignificant.

Transfers of receivables under the Programs resulted in an expense for the loss on sale of $1 million and $2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $1 million and $2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, classified as selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings.

Note 14.     Sale of Accounts Receivable (Continued)

The Company reflects all cash flows related to the Programs as operating activities in its consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 because the cash received from the Purchasers and Second Purchasers upon both the sale and collection of the receivables is not subject to significantly different risks given the short-term nature of the Company’s trade receivables.

Note 15.     Subsequent Events

On July 7, 2014, the Company announced that it is acquiring WILD Flavors GmbH, providing the Company the ability to offer food and beverage companies a comprehensive suite of systems to enhance their products. In an all-cash transaction valued at approximately €2.3 billion enterprise value, the Company will pay €2.2 billion to WILD Flavors shareholders Dr. Hans-Peter Wild and funds affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., and assume approximately €0.1 billion of net debt. The transaction is contingent on regulatory approvals and is expected to close by December 31, 2014.

On August 5, 2014, the Company amended its U.S. qualified pension plans and began notifying certain eligible individuals of its offer to pay those individuals’ pension benefit in a lump sum. Individuals eligible for the voluntary lump sum payment option are generally those who are retirees, surviving joint annuitants, beneficiaries, and alternate payees of the U.S. qualified pension plans who are currently receiving a payment and commenced their benefit prior to June 30, 2014. The Company estimates that, depending on participation rates estimated at 20% to 40%, the voluntary lump sum payments, to be paid from plan assets, could reduce its global pension benefit obligation by approximately $170 million to $340 million and improve its pension underfunding by approximately $13 million to $26 million. The Company estimates that it will also have to incur a non-cash pre-tax income statement charge of approximately $45 million to $90 million in the quarter ending December 31, 2014 as a result of the requirement to expense the unrealized actuarial losses currently recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) that relate to the liabilities settled on or before December 31, 2014. The Company expects an immaterial increase in ongoing pension expense in 2015. Actual participation rates, payout amounts, and accounting impacts will not be known until December 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Company Overview

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The Company is principally engaged in procuring, transporting, storing, processing, and merchandising agricultural commodities and products. The Company uses its significant global asset base to originate and transport agricultural commodities, connecting to markets in more than 140 countries. The Company also processes corn, oilseeds, wheat and cocoa into products for food, animal feed, chemical and energy uses. 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 its shareholders, principally from margins earned on these activities.

The Company’s operations are organized, managed and classified into three reportable business segments: Oilseeds Processing, Corn Processing, and Agricultural Services. Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services offered. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Other.

The Oilseeds Processing segment includes global activities related to the origination, merchandising, 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 Company include ingredients for the food, feed, energy, and industrial products industries. 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 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. In Europe and South America, the Oilseeds Processing segment includes origination and merchandising activities as adjuncts to its oilseeds processing assets. These activities include a network of grain elevators, port facilities, and transportation assets used to buy, store, clean, and transport grains and oilseeds. The Oilseeds Processing segment produces natural health and nutrition products and other specialty food and feed ingredients. The Oilseeds Processing segment is a major supplier of peanuts and peanut-derived ingredients to both the U.S. and export markets. In North America, cottonseed flour is produced and sold primarily to the pharmaceutical industry and cotton cellulose pulp is manufactured and sold to the chemical, paper, and filter markets. In South America, the Oilseeds Processing segment operates fertilizer blending facilities. The Oilseeds Processing segment also includes activities related to the procurement, transportation and processing of cocoa beans into cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, chocolate, and various compounds in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa for the food processing industry. The Oilseeds Processing segment also includes the Company’s share of the results of its equity investment in Wilmar International Limited (Wilmar) and its share of results for its Stratas Foods LLC and Edible Oils Limited joint ventures.

The Company’s Corn Processing segment is engaged in corn wet milling and dry milling activities, with its asset base primarily located in the central part of the United States. The Corn Processing segment converts corn into sweeteners, starches, and bioproducts. Its products include ingredients used in the food and beverage industry including sweeteners, starch, syrup, glucose, and dextrose. Dextrose and starch are used by the Corn Processing segment as feedstocks for its bioproducts operations. By fermentation of dextrose, the Corn Processing segment produces alcohol, amino acids, and other specialty 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. Bioproducts also include amino acids such as lysine and threonine that are vital compounds used in swine feeds to produce leaner animals and in poultry feeds to enhance the speed and efficiency of poultry production. 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 Corn Processing products include citric and lactic acids, lactates, sorbitol, xanthan gum, and glycols, all of which are used in various food and industrial products. The Corn Processing segment includes the activities of a propylene and ethylene glycol facility and the Company’s Brazilian sugarcane ethanol plant and related operations. This segment also includes the Company’s share of the results of its equity investments in Almidones Mexicanos S.A., Eaststarch C.V., and Red Star Yeast Company LLC.

32

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Agricultural Services segment utilizes its extensive U.S. grain elevator, global transportation network, and port operations to buy, store, clean, and transport agricultural commodities, such as oilseeds, corn, wheat, milo, oats, rice, and barley, and resells these commodities primarily as food and feed ingredients and as raw materials for the agricultural processing industry. Agricultural Services’ grain sourcing, handling, and transportation network provides reliable and efficient services to the Company’s customers and agricultural processing operations. Agricultural Services’ transportation network capabilities include barge, ocean-going vessel, truck, and rail freight services. The Agricultural Services segment also includes the activities related to the processing of wheat into wheat flour, the processing and distribution of formula feeds, animal health and nutrition products, and the procurement, processing, and distribution of edible beans. The Agricultural Services segment includes the activities of Alfred C. Toepfer International (Toepfer), a global merchant of agricultural commodities and processed products. On June 6, 2014, the Company announced that it has completed its acquisition of the remaining 20% minority interest in Toepfer for $157 million. The Agricultural Services segment also includes the Company’s share of the results of its Kalama Export Company joint venture and returns associated with the Company’s investment in GrainCorp.

Other includes the Company’s remaining operations, primarily its financial business units, related principally to futures commission and insurance activities.

Corporate results principally include the impact of LIFO-related inventory adjustments, unallocated corporate expenses, and interest cost net of investment income. Corporate results also include the after-tax elimination of income attributable to the minority shareholder of Toepfer prior to June 6, 2014.

Significant Ongoing Portfolio Management Actions

On April 15, 2014, the Company announced additional significant actions in its portfolio management. The Company:

• signed an agreement with The Mosaic Company to sell its fertilizer blending business in Brazil and Paraguay; and

• plans to pursue the sale of its chocolate processing assets while retaining the majority of the cocoa press operations.

The fertilizer sale is contingent on customary regulatory approvals which are in process. The Company considered whether the fertilizer blending business in Brazil and Paraguay should be classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2014, and determined that the requirements under the applicable authoritative accounting literature for held for sale accounting were not met.

The Company believes these actions will help the Company continue to improve returns and create shareholder value.

On July 7, 2014, the Company announced that it is acquiring WILD Flavors GmbH, providing the Company the ability to offer food and beverage companies a comprehensive suite of systems to enhance their products. In an all-cash transaction valued at approximately €2.3 billion enterprise value, the Company will pay €2.2 billion to WILD Flavors shareholders Dr. Hans-Peter Wild and funds affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., and assume approximately €0.1 billion of net debt. The transaction is contingent on regulatory approvals and is expected to close by December 31, 2014.

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, 2013.

The Company’s oilseeds processing and agricultural services operations are principally agricultural commodity-based businesses where changes in selling prices move in relationship to changes in prices of the commodity-based agricultural raw materials. Therefore, changes in agricultural commodity prices have relatively equal impacts on both revenues and cost of products sold. Thus, changes in revenues of these businesses do not necessarily correspond to the changes in margins or gross profit.

The Company’s corn processing operations and certain other food and animal feed processing operations also utilize agricultural commodities (or products derived from agricultural commodities) as raw materials. However, in these operations, agricultural commodity market price changes do not necessarily equal changes in cost of products sold. Thus, changes in revenues of these businesses may correspond to changes in margins or gross profit.

33

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Company has consolidated subsidiaries in 74 countries. For the majority of the Company’s subsidiaries located outside the United States, the local currency is the functional currency. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates for the applicable periods. For the majority of the Company’s business activities in Brazil, the functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, certain transactions, including taxes, occur in local currency and require conversion to the functional currency. 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 can result in corresponding fluctuations in the U.S. dollar value of revenues and expenses reported by the Company.

The Company measures the performance of its business segments using key financial metrics including net earnings, segment operating profit, return on invested capital, EBITDA, economic value added, and cost per metric ton. The Company’s operating results can vary significantly due to changes in factors such as fluctuations in energy prices, weather conditions, crop plantings, government programs and policies, changes in global demand, general global economic conditions, changes in standards of living, and global production of similar and competitive crops. Due to these unpredictable factors, the Company does not provide forward-looking information in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Net earnings attributable to controlling interests was $533 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $223 million in the second quarter of 2013. Segment operating profit increased $241 million to $888 million, primarily due to improved ethanol and merchandising and handling results. Included in this quarter’s segment operating profit was approximately $70 million of net gains related to hedge timing effects compared to approximately $26 million of gains in the prior year’s quarter. These hedge timing effects represent hedge ineffectiveness on designated cash flow hedges and other mark-to-market timing impacts on certain cocoa and ethanol derivative contracts. Corporate charges decreased $177 million to $153 million due to a favorable $112 million change in LIFO inventory reserves, $26 million decrease in net interest expense and absence of the $29 million loss provision in last year’s quarter related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) matter. Corporate results this quarter include a credit of $73 million from the effect of decreasing agricultural commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuation reserves, compared to a charge of $39 million in the second quarter of 2013.

Income taxes increased $112 million due to higher earnings before income taxes partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 decreased to 27.6% compared to 28.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to changes in the forecasted geographic mix of pretax earnings.

Market Factors Influencing Operations or Results

As an agricultural commodity-based business, the Company is subject to a variety of market factors which affect the Company’s operating results. Demand for global protein meal and vegetable oil remained strong and steady. Export demand for North American corn was strong. Toward the end of the second quarter, the industry began the seasonal supply shift from North America to South America resulting in a decline in U.S. export volumes that typically runs until the next North American fall harvest. Corn sweetener demand was steady and U.S. ethanol demand from both domestic and export markets was strong. Lower average selling prices of corn sweeteners were offset by lower net corn costs. Compared to a strong quarter last year, South American grain and oilseed origination was challenged by slow farmer selling throughout most of the quarter. Cocoa press margins have continued to improve from last year when margins were negatively impacted by higher inventories and excess industry capacity.

Revenues decreased $1.0 billion, or 5%, to $21.5 billion due principally to lower average selling prices, related to a decrease in underlying commodity costs, partially offset by higher sales volumes.  Oilseeds Processing revenues decreased 5% to $8.8 billion due principally to lower sales volumes of soybeans and lower average selling prices of vegetable oil partially offset by higher sales volumes of vegetable oil.  Corn Processing revenues decreased 16% to $3.1 billion due principally to lower average selling prices for sweeteners and ethanol.  Agricultural Services revenues were flat at $9.5 billion as higher sales volumes of corn and rapeseed were offset by lower average selling prices for corn.

Cost of products sold decreased $1.4 billion to $20.3 billion due principally to lower average commodity costs and changes in LIFO reserves partially offset by higher manufacturing costs. Included in cost of products sold is a credit of $73 million from the effect of decreasing agricultural commodity prices during this quarter on LIFO inventory valuation reserves compared to a charge of $39 million in the prior year’s quarter.  Manufacturing expenses increased $46 million due to higher energy costs and higher maintenance costs, in part due to increased U.S. barge freight activities this year.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $26 million to $426 million due principally to the absence of the prior year charge of $29 million related to the FCPA matter and lower provisions for bad debts partially offset by higher I.T. and other project-related expenses.

35

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs of $31 million consisted of costs associated with the relocation of the Company’s global headquarters to Chicago, IL of $16 million and restructuring charges related to Toepfer integration following the acquisition of the minority interest and other restructuring charges of $15 million.

Interest expense declined $28 million to $79 million primarily due to lower outstanding long-term debt balances. During February 2014, the Company repaid $1.15 billion principal amount of convertible senior notes with available funds.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased $16 million to $78 million primarily due to higher earnings from the Company’s investment in Compagnie Industrielle et Financiere des Produits Amylaces SA (Luxembourg) and affiliates (CIP) partially offset by lower earnings from the Company’s investment in Wilmar.

Other expense decreased $19 million to $3 million due principally to year over year changes in foreign currency expense including the $51 million prior period losses on Australian dollar currency hedges related to the proposed GrainCorp transaction.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Oilseeds Processing operating profit increased $6 million to $327 million. Operating profit in the prior year quarter included a gain of approximately $11 million for cocoa hedge timing effects compared to an immaterial amount in the current quarter. Crushing and Origination operating profit decreased $22 million to $163 million primarily due to lower South American origination results caused by year over year slower farmer-selling partially offset by strong soybean and softseed volumes and margins in North America and South America. Refining, Packaging, Biodiesel, and Other results improved $26 million to $119 million on good volumes and margins for refined and packaged oils in South America and higher results for lecithin and protein specialties. Cocoa and Other results , including the $11 million gain in the prior year for mark-to-market hedge timing effects, improved $25 million to $19 million this quarter as cocoa press margins significantly increased. Asia results declined $23 million to $26 million, principally reflecting a decrease from the Company’s share of the results from its equity investee, Wilmar.

Corn Processing operating profit increased $124 million to $347 million. Included in the current quarter operating profit is a gain of approximately $70 million for corn hedge timing effects; while the prior year quarter included a gain of approximately $15 million. Excluding corn hedge timing effects, Sweeteners and Starches operating profit increased $25 million primarily due to lower net corn costs partially offset by lower average selling prices. Excluding corn hedge timing effects, Bioproducts profit in the quarter improved by $44 million as strong demand for U.S. ethanol from domestic and export markets combined with lower net corn costs resulted in higher margins this quarter. While the ethanol logistics environment remained challenging, the Company provided a steady supply to blenders.

Agricultural Services operating profit increased $122 million to $203 million. Merchandising and Handling operating results increased $101 million to $115 million amid strong U.S. export volumes and continued improvement in international merchandising results. Current period Merchandising and Handling results include a gain of $17 million related to a partial recovery of a $22 million loss provision originally established in the second quarter of 2013. Transportation operating profit improved $24 million to $27 million as southbound barge freight utilization was driven by strong U.S. exports, and with good northbound utilization. Milling and Other results were essentially flat at $61 million as lower milling results were offset by strong performance by the edible bean business.

Other financial operating profit decreased $11 million to $11 million mainly due to higher loss provisions in the Company’s captive insurance operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Corporate costs were $153 million this quarter compared to $330 million in last year’s quarter. The effects of changing commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuations resulted in a credit of $73 million this quarter compared to a charge of $39 million in the prior year quarter. Interest expense - net declined $26 million due principally to lower outstanding long-term debt balances. Unallocated corporate costs increased $38 million primarily due to increased I.T. and other project-related costs. Other charges of $31 million in the second quarter of 2014 consisted of global headquarters relocation costs of $16 million and Toepfer integration and other restructuring charges of $15 million. Other charges in the second quarter of 2013 included a $29 million provision related to the FCPA matter and losses on Australian dollar currency hedges of $51 million related to losses incurred on foreign currency instruments acquired to economically hedge the majority of the Company’s anticipated U.S. dollar cost of the proposed GrainCorp transaction. Minority interest and other expense decreased $28 million primarily due to higher earnings from the Company’s investment in CIP and changes in the elimination of the income attributable to the minority shareholder of Toepfer. As previously noted, the Company acquired the remaining 20% interest in Toepfer in the second quarter of 2014.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Net earnings attributable to controlling interests increased $308 million to $800 million. Segment operating profit was $1.6 billion, up 24%. Corporate costs were lower by $107 million in the current period primarily due to the absence of prior year charges related to the FCPA matter and prior year losses on Australian dollar currency hedges related to the proposed GrainCorp transaction. Earnings before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2014 includes charges of $86 million from the effect of increasing agricultural commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuation reserves, compared to charges of $73 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Income taxes increased $105 million due to higher earnings before income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased to 27.3% compared to 28.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to changes in the forecasted geographic mix of pretax earnings.

Market Factors Influencing Operations or Results

As an agricultural commodity-based business, the Company is subject to a variety of market factors which affect the Company’s operating results. Demand for global protein meal and vegetable oil remained strong and steady. Export demand for North American corn and soybeans was strong, but logistical challenges during the winter months, including rail delays and river freezes, caused higher costs. Toward the end of the second quarter, the industry began the seasonal supply shift from North America to South America resulting in a decline in U.S. export volumes that typically runs until the next North American fall harvest. Corn and wheat futures prices were inverted, which limited opportunities for storage and merchandising margins. Corn sweetener demand was steady. Strong U.S. ethanol demand from both domestic and export markets combined with industry logistical and production challenges in the winter months led to strong ethanol margins. South American grain and oilseed origination was challenged by slow farmer selling. Cocoa press margins have continued to improve from last year when margins were negatively impacted by excess capacity.

Revenues decreased $2.1 billion, or 5%, to $42.2 billion due principally to lower average selling prices partially offset by higher sales volumes. Oilseeds Processing revenues decreased 5% to $16.6 billion due principally to lower sales volumes of soybeans and vegetable oil, partially offset by higher selling prices for cocoa products. Corn Processing revenues decreased 12% to $5.9 billion due principally to lower average selling prices for sweeteners and ethanol partially offset by higher sales volume of ethanol. Agricultural Services revenues decreased 3% to $19.5 billion primarily due to lower average selling prices for corn partially offset by higher sales volumes of corn and soybeans.

Cost of products sold decreased $2.4 billion to $40.3 billion due principally to lower average commodity costs partially offset by higher manufacturing costs. Included in cost of products sold is a charge of $86 million from the effect of increasing agricultural commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuation reserves compared to a charge of $73 million in the prior year’s period. Manufacturing expenses increased $136 million due to higher energy costs and higher maintenance costs. Higher energy costs were driven by unusually high volatility of natural gas prices during the winter months due primarily to supply interruptions impacted by the severe winter weather conditions.

39

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $69 million to $819 million due principally to the absence of the prior year charge of $54 million related to the FCPA matter and lower provisions for bad debts partially offset by higher I.T. and other project-related expenses.

Asset impairment, exit, and restructuring costs of $31 million consisted of costs associated with the relocation of the Company’s global headquarters to Chicago, IL of $16 million and restructuring charges related to Toepfer integration following the acquisition of the minority interest and other restructuring charges of $15 million.

Interest expense declined $41 million to $172 million primarily due to lower outstanding long-term debt balances. During February 2014, the Company repaid $1.15 billion principal amount of convertible senior notes with available funds.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased $11 million to $210 million primarily due to higher earnings from the Company’s investment in CIP partially offset by lower earnings from the Company’s investment in Wilmar.

Other (income) expense - net increased $45 million to income of $20 million due principally to the absence of $51 million incurred in the prior year for unrealized losses on Australian dollar currency hedges related to the proposed GrainCorp acquisition.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Oilseeds Processing operating profit increased $27 million to $661 million. Included in the current period operating profit is a charge of approximately $25 million for cocoa hedge timing effects, while the prior period included a gain of approximately $16 million. Crushing and Origination operating profit decreased $17 million to $324 million primarily due to lower South American Origination results caused by year over year slower farmer-selling partially offset by strong soybean and softseed volumes and margins in North America and South America. European crushing and origination results were essentially flat. Refining, Packaging, Biodiesel, and Other results improved $31 million to $232 million on good volumes and margins for refined and packaged oils. Improved European biodiesel results were partially offset by a decline in North American biodiesel results. Cocoa and Other results, including the mark-to-market timing effects discussed above, improved $53 million to $25 million this period as cocoa press margins significantly increased. Asia results declined $40 million to $80 million, principally reflecting a decrease from the Company’s share of its results from its equity investee, Wilmar.

Corn Processing operating profit increased $167 million to $543 million. Included in the current period operating profit is a gain of approximately $5 million for corn hedge timing effects; while the prior period included a charge of approximately $29 million. Excluding corn hedge timing effects, Sweeteners and Starches operating profit increased $12 million primarily due to lower net corn costs partially offset by lower average selling prices. Excluding corn hedge timing effects, Bioproducts profit in the period improved by $121 million as solid demand for U.S. ethanol from domestic and export markets, lower net corn costs, and lower industry production volumes in the winter months caused by logistical and production challenges combined to drive strong margins. While the ethanol logistics environment remained challenging, the Company provided a steady supply to blenders.

Agricultural Services operating profits increased $124 million to $356 million. Merchandising and Handling operating results improved $84 million to $184 million due principally to higher U.S. export volumes and improvement in international merchandising results. Current period Merchandising and Handling results include a gain of $17 million related to a partial recovery of a $22 million loss provision originally established in the second quarter of 2013. Transportation operating profit recovered $51 million to $60 million as southbound barge freight utilization was driven by strong U.S. exports, and good northbound utilization. Milling and Other results declined $11 million to $112 million as inverted wheat futures prices reduced opportunities for grain and feed merchandising.

Other financial operating profit decreased $16 million to $19 million mainly due to higher loss provisions in the Company’s captive insurance operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Corporate results were $478 million in the current period compared to $585 million in the prior period. The effects of increasing commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuations resulted in a charge of $86 million in the current period compared to a charge of $73 million in the prior period. Interest expense - net declined $38 million due principally to lower outstanding long-term debt balances. Unallocated corporate costs increased $36 million primarily due to increased I.T. and other project-related costs. Other charges of $31 million in the first half of 2014 consisted of global headquarters relocation costs of $16 million and Toepfer integration and other restructuring charges of $15 million. Other charges in the second half of 2013 included a $54 million provision related to the FCPA matter and losses on Australian dollar currency hedges of $51 million related to losses incurred on foreign currency instruments acquired to economically hedge the majority of the Company’s anticipated U.S. dollar cost of the proposed GrainCorp transaction. Minority interest and other expense decreased $44 million primarily due to higher earnings from the Company’s investment in CIP and changes in the elimination of the income attributable to the minority shareholders of Toepfer. As previously noted, the Company acquired the remaining 20% interest in Toepfer in the second quarter of 2014.

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’s strategy involves expanding the volume and diversity of crops that it merchandises and processes, expanding the global reach of its core model, and expanding its value-added product portfolio. The Company depends on access to credit markets, which can be impacted by its credit rating and factors outside of the Company’s control, to fund its working capital needs and capital expenditures. The primary source of funds to finance the Company’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. 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.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had $2.0 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities and a current ratio, defined as current assets divided by current liabilities, of 2.1 to 1. Included in working capital is $5.3 billion of readily marketable commodity inventories. Cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 billion for the six months compared to $2.3 billion the same period last year. Working capital changes decreased cash by $0.1 billion for the six months and increased cash by $1.6 billion the same period last year. Trade receivables increased $0.9 billion due principally to a $1.1 billion decrease in utilization of the accounts receivable securitization program. Inventories declined approximately $2.4 billion at June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013, as lower quantities reduced inventories by approximately $2.2 billion and lower prices reduced inventories by $0.2 billion. Trade payables declined approximately $1.6 billion principally reflecting cash used to pay for North American harvest-related grain purchases. Cash used in investing activities was $0.3 billion for the six months compared to cash provided by investing activities of $0.1 billion the same period last year. Marketable securities purchases were $0.6 billion for the six months compared to $0.3 billion the same period last year. Capital expenditures and net assets of businesses acquired were comparable. Cash used in financing activities was $2.2 billion for the six months compared to $2.3 billion the same period last year. In the current period, long-term debt payments increased as the $1.15 billion convertible debt matured in February 2014 and was paid with available cash.

At June 30, 2014, the Company’s capital resources included net worth of $20.2 billion and lines of credit totaling $6.9 billion, of which $6.7 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 21% at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. This ratio is a measure of the Company’s long-term indebtedness and is an indicator of financial flexibility. Of the Company’s total lines of credit, $4.0 billion support a commercial paper borrowing facility, against which there was no commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2014.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $0.5 billion of cash held by foreign subsidiaries whose undistributed earnings are considered permanently reinvested. The Company has asserted that these funds are permanently reinvested outside the U.S. due to the Company’s historical ability to generate sufficient cash flows from its U.S. operations, unused and available U.S. credit capacity of $4.0 billion, and domestic cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2014 of $1.1 billion.

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 $1.6 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 14 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, 2014, the Company utilized $0.4 billion of its facility under the Programs.

42

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Company has a stock repurchase program and has acquired approximately 7.2 million shares and 11.5 million shares for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company has 54.1 million shares remaining that may be purchased under the program until December 31, 2014.

On July 7, 2014, the Company announced that it is acquiring WILD Flavors GmbH “WILD Flavors” in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately €2.3 billion enterprise value. The Company’s cash payment obligation to WILD Flavors shareholders Dr. Hans-Peter Wild and funds affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. would be €2.2 billion, and the Company would assume approximately €0.1 billion of net debt. The transaction is contingent on regulatory approvals and is expected to close by December 31, 2014. After the Company’s announcement of the pending acquisition, the three major credit rating agencies affirmed the Company’s credit rating and kept their respective outlooks as stable. The Company plans to fund the acquisition using operating cash flows and some forms of debt.

After the announcement of the WILD Flavors acquisition agreement, the Company lowered its capital expenditures target for 2014 from $1.4 billion to $900 million.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The Company’s purchase obligations as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $17.2 billion and $16.6 billion, respectively.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company expects to make payments related to purchase obligations of $15.7 billion within the next twelve months.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

In March 2014, the Company entered into a second accounts receivable securitization program (the “Second Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “Second Purchasers”) in order to further diversify funding of the Company’s global working capital requirements. 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”). ADM Ireland Receivables in turn transfers 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 receives a cash payment of up to $0.4 billion and an additional amount upon the collection of the accounts receivable (deferred consideration). ADM Ireland Receivables uses the cash proceeds from the transfer of receivables to the Second Purchasers and other consideration 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. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of trade receivables transferred to the Second Purchasers under the Second Program and derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was $0.6 billion. At June 30, 2014, the related deferred consideration of $0.2 billion was recorded in other current assets. Additional details of the Second Program are disclosed in Note 14 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the Company amended its accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”) and increased its facility from $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion. The Program terminates on June 26, 2015 unless extended.

There were no other material changes in the Company’s off balance sheet arrangements during the six months endedJune 30, 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies

There were no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

43

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The market risk inherent in the Company’s market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in: commodity market prices as they relate to the Company’s net commodity position, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates.  Significant changes in market risk sensitive instruments and positions for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 are described below.  There were no material changes during the period in the Company’s potential loss arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

For detailed information regarding the Company’s market risk sensitive instruments and positions, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Commodities

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:

	Six months ended						Year ended
	June 30, 2014						December 31, 2013
Long/(Short)	Fair Value			Market Risk			Fair Value			Market Risk
	(In millions)
Highest position	$	(125	)	$	(13	)	$	660		$	66
Lowest position	(964		)	(96		)	(1,833		)	(183		)
Average position	(600		)	(60		)	(959		)	(96		)

The decrease in fair value of the average position was principally the result of decrease in commodity prices and decrease in average quantities underlying the weekly commodity position.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of June 30, 2014, 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 (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

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 9 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, including with respect to our compliance with laws and regulations relating to the environment, and at any given time, the Company has matters at various stages of resolution with the applicable government authorities. 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 April 22, 2011, certain manufacturers and distributors of sugar cane and beet sugar products filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, other manufacturers and marketers of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), and the Corn Refiners Association, alleging that the defendants falsely claimed that HFCS is “natural” and nutritionally equivalent to sugar. The defendants have filed counterclaims against the plaintiffs. The parties are currently engaged in a pretrial discovery.

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.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There were no significant changes in the Company’s risk factors during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. For further information about the Company’s risk factors, refer to Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Pending Accounting Standards

Pending Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which limits the definition of discontinued operations as only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amended guidance also expands the definition of discontinued operations to include a business or nonprofit activity that, on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale and a disposal of an equity method investment that meets the definition of discontinued operations. The amended guidance requires the Company to report discontinued operations if (1) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria in Topic 205 to be classified as held for sale; (2) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; or (3) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed other than by sale. The Company will be required to adopt the presentation and expanded disclosure requirements of the amended guidance prospectively. The adoption of this amended guidance may change financial statement presentation and require expanded disclosures but will not impact financial results.

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which seeks to resolve the diversity in practice that exists when accounting for share-based payments. The amended guidance requires a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period to be treated as a performance condition. The Company will be required to adopt the amended guidance either prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amended guidance to impact financial results.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company will be required to adopt the new guidance of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Topic 606 requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires the Company to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company will be required to adopt Topic 606 either on a full retrospective basis to each prior reporting period presented or on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application. If the Company elects the modified retrospective approach, it will be required to provide additional disclosures of the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period, as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

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.

On June 6, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of the remaining 20% minority interest in Alfred C. Toepfer International (Toepfer), a global merchandiser of agricultural commodities and processed products, for $157 million. The excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the associated noncontrolling interest of $12 million was recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the amended guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the Company to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or if the Company does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability in the financial statements and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of this amended guidance does not have an impact on the Company’s financial results.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the amended guidance of ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), which requires the Company to transfer currency translation adjustments from other comprehensive income into net income in certain circumstances. The amended guidance aims to resolve diversity in practice as to whether ASC Topic 810, Consolidation or Topic 830 applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity, or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s current period results. If the Company disposes all or part of a qualifying foreign entity, it will be required to release the portion of cumulative translation adjustment applicable to the disposed entity.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the amended guidance of ASC Topic 405, Liabilities, which addresses the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, for which the total amount under the arrangement is fixed at the reporting date. The amended guidance aims to resolve diversity in practice among companies that are subject to joint and several liabilities. The retrospective adoption of this amended guidance did not have an impact on current and prior period results and is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s financial results.

Last-in, First-out (LIFO) Inventories

Interim period LIFO calculations are based on interim period costs and management’s estimates of year-end inventory levels.  Because the availability and price of agricultural commodity-based LIFO inventories are unpredictable due to factors such as weather, government farm programs and policies, and changes in global demand, quantities of LIFO-based inventories at interim periods may vary significantly from management’s estimates of year-end inventory levels.

On July 7, 2014, the Company announced that it is acquiring WILD Flavors GmbH, providing the Company the ability to offer food and beverage companies a comprehensive suite of systems to enhance their products. In an all-cash transaction valued at approximately €2.3 billion enterprise value, the Company will pay €2.2 billion to WILD Flavors shareholders Dr. Hans-Peter Wild and funds affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., and assume approximately €0.1 billion of net debt. The transaction is contingent on regulatory approvals and is expected to close by December 31, 2014.

On August 5, 2014, the Company amended its U.S. qualified pension plans and began notifying certain eligible individuals of its offer to pay those individuals’ pension benefit in a lump sum. Individuals eligible for the voluntary lump sum payment option are generally those who are retirees, surviving joint annuitants, beneficiaries, and alternate payees of the U.S. qualified pension plans who are currently receiving a payment and commenced their benefit prior to June 30, 2014. The Company estimates that, depending on participation rates estimated at 20% to 40%, the voluntary lump sum payments, to be paid from plan assets, could reduce its global pension benefit obligation by approximately $170 million to $340 million and improve its pension underfunding by approximately $13 million to $26 million. The Company estimates that it will also have to incur a non-cash pre-tax income statement charge of approximately $45 million to $90 million in the quarter ending December 31, 2014 as a result of the requirement to expense the unrealized actuarial losses currently recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) that relate to the liabilities settled on or before December 31, 2014. The Company expects an immaterial increase in ongoing pension expense in 2015. Actual participation rates, payout amounts, and accounting impacts will not be known until December 2014.

Of the $11 million in unrealized losses at June 30, 2014, $8 million arose within the last 12 months and are related to the Company’s investment in twoavailable-for-sale equitysecurities with a fair value of $366 million.  The market value of the Company’s investment that has been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer is $4 million and is related to one available-for-sale equity security. The Company evaluated the near-term prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment.  Based on that evaluation and the Company’s ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Within the Note 4 tables, zeros represent minimal amounts.

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 commodity 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, are stated at market value.  Inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, which include amounts acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value.  Inventory is not a derivative and therefore fair values of and changes in fair values of inventories are not included in the tables below.

The following table sets forth the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, which include amounts acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value. Changes in the market value of inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, forward cash purchase and sales contracts, exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts are recognized in earnings immediately.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow or Fair Value Hedging Strategies

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has certain derivatives designated as cash flow and fair value hedges.

The Company uses interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to protect the fair value of fixed-rate debt due to changes in interest rates. The changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and the underlying fixed-rate debt are recorded in other (income) expense - net. The terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the underlying debt resulting in no ineffectiveness. At June 30, 2014, the Company has $17 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 impact to earnings.

For each of the commodity hedge programs described below, the derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges.  Assuming normal market conditions, the changes in the market value of such derivative contracts have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting changes in price movements of the hedged item.  Once the hedged item is recognized in earnings, the gains/losses arising from the hedge are reclassified from AOCI to either revenues, cost of products sold, interest expense or other income (expense) – net, as applicable.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company has $32 million of after-tax losses in AOCI related to gains and losses from commodity cash flow hedge transactions.  The Company expects to recognize all of these after-tax losses in its consolidated statement of earnings during the next 12 months.

The Company, from time to time, uses futures or options contracts to fix the purchase price of anticipated volumes of corn to be purchased and processed in a future month.  The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s forecasted purchases of corn.  The Company’s corn processing plants currently grind approximately 76 million bushels of corn per month.  During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 16% and 71% of its monthly anticipated grind.  At June 30, 2014, the Company has designated hedges representing between 1% and 60% 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 fix 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 10 million and 121 million gallons of ethanol sales per month under these programs.  For the next 12 months, the Company has designated hedges representing between 7 million and 95 million gallons of ethanol sales per month.

The following table sets forth the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Hedge ineffectiveness for commodity contracts results when the change in the price of the underlying commodity in a specific cash market differs from the change in the price of the derivative financial instrument used to establish the hedging relationship.  As an example, if the change in the price of a corn futures contract is strongly correlated to the change in cash price paid for corn, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is deferred and recognized at the time the corn grind occurs.  If the change in price of the derivative does not strongly correlate to the change in the cash price of corn, in the same example, some portion or all of the derivative gains or losses may be required to be recognized in earnings prior to the corn grind occurring.

The following tables set forth the changes in AOCI related to derivatives gains (losses) for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 and 2013.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

The Company is principally engaged in procuring, transporting, storing, processing, and merchandising agricultural commodities and products. The Company’s operations are organized, managed and classified into three reportable business segments: Oilseeds Processing, Corn Processing, and Agricultural Services. Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services offered. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Other.

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 segment operating profit is equity in earnings of affiliates based on the equity method of accounting. Certain Corporate items are not allocated to the Company’s reportable business segments. Corporate results principally include the impact of LIFO-related adjustments, unallocated corporate expenses, and interest cost net of investment income. Corporate results also include the after-tax elimination of income attributable to the minority shareholder of Toepfer. The Company acquired the remaining 20% minority interest in Toepfer during the second quarter of 2014, thus no longer requiring the elimination of income attributable to the minority shareholder at June 30, 2014.

For detailed information regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 27.6% and 27.3%, respectively, compared to 28.7% and 28.3% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, due primarily to changes in the forecasted geographic mix of pretax earnings.

The Company is subject to income taxation in many jurisdictions around the world. The Company is subject to routine examination by domestic and foreign tax authorities 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.  Resolution of the related tax positions, through negotiation 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. In its routine evaluations of the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company recognizes a liability, when necessary, for estimated potential additional tax owed by the Company in accordance with the applicable accounting standard.  However, the Company cannot predict or provide assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these ongoing or future examinations.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ADM do Brasil Ltda. (ADM do Brasil), received three separate tax assessments from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service(BFRS)challenging the tax deductibility of commodity hedging losses and related expenses for the tax years 2004, 2006, and 2007. As of June 30, 2014, these assessments, updated for estimated penalties, interest, and variation in currency exchange rates, totaled approximately $577 million. ADM do Brasil’s tax return for 2005 was also audited and no assessment was received. The statutes of limitation for 2005 and 2008 have expired. If the BFRS were to challenge commodity hedging deductions in tax years after 2008, the Company estimates it could face additional claims of approximately $38 million (based on currency exchange rates as of June 30, 2014).

ADM do Brasil enters into commodity hedging transactions that can result in gains, which are included in ADM do Brasil’s calculations of taxable income in Brazil, and losses, which ADM do Brasil deducts from its taxable income in Brazil. The Company has evaluated its tax position regarding these hedging transactions and concluded, based upon advice from Brazilian legal counsel, that it was appropriate to recognize both gains and losses resulting from hedging transactions when determining its Brazilian income tax expense. Therefore, the Company has continued to recognize the tax benefit from hedging losses in its financial statements and has not recorded any tax liability for the amounts assessed by the BFRS.

ADM do Brasil filed an administrative appeal for each of the assessments. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the appeal panel found in favor of the BFRS on the 2004 assessment and ADM do Brasil filed a second level administrative appeal, which is still ongoing. In January of 2012, the appeal panel found in favor of the BFRS on the 2006 and 2007 assessments and ADM do Brasil filed a second level administrative appeal, which is still ongoing. If ADM do Brasil continues to be unsuccessful in the administrative appellate process, it intends to file appeals in the Brazilian federal courts. While the Company believes its consolidated financial statements properly reflect the tax deductibility of these hedging losses, the ultimate resolution of this matter could result in the future recognition of additional payments of, and expense for, income tax and the associated interest and penalties. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position against the current assessments and any similar assessments that may be issued for years subsequent to 2008.

The Company’s subsidiaries in Argentina have received tax assessments challenging transfer prices used to price grain exports totaling $37 million (inclusive of interest and adjusted for variation in currency exchange rates) for the tax years 2004 and 2005. The Argentine tax authorities have been conducting 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. While the Company believes that it has complied with all Argentine tax laws, it cannot rule out receiving additional assessments challenging transfer prices used to price grain exports for years subsequent to 2005, and estimates that these potential assessments would be approximately $466 million (as of June 30, 2014 and subject to variation in currency exchange rates).  The Company intends to vigorously defend its position against the current assessments and any similar assessments that may be issued for years subsequent to 2005. 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 concluded that it is more likely than not to prevail on the Brazil and Argentina matters based upon their technical merits. The Company has not recorded an uncertain tax liability for these assessments partly because the taxing jurisdictions’ processes do not provide a mechanism for settling at less than the full amount of the assessment. The Company’s consideration of these tax assessments requires judgments about the application of income tax regulations to specific facts and circumstances. The final outcome of these matters cannot reliably be predicted, may take many years to resolve, and could result in the payment and expense of up to the entire amount of these assessments.

Sale of Accounts Receivable

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]

Sale of Accounts Receivable

Sale of Accounts Receivable

Since March 2012, the Company has had an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”). Under the 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 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 Program terminates on June 26, 2015, unless extended.

In March 2014, the Company entered into a second 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”). ADM Ireland Receivables in turn transfers 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 receives a cash payment of up to $0.4 billion and an additional amount upon the collection of the accounts receivable (deferred consideration). The Second Program terminates on March 20, 2015, unless extended.

Under the Program and Second Program (collectively, the “Programs”), ADM Receivables and ADM Ireland Receivables use the cash proceeds from the transfer of receivables to the Purchasers and Second Purchasers and other consideration 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. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of trade receivables transferred to the Purchasers and Second Purchasers under the Programs and derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was $0.6 billion, and $1.9 billion, respectively. In exchange for the transfer as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company received cash of $0.4 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, and recorded a receivable for deferred consideration included in other current assets of $0.2 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively. Cash collections from customers on receivables sold were $14.7 billion and $18.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Of this amount, $13.6 billion and $18.9 billion pertain to cash collections on the deferred consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Deferred consideration is paid to the Company in cash on behalf of the Purchasers and Second Purchasers as receivables are collected; however, as these are revolving facilities, cash collected from the Company’s customers is reinvested by the Purchasers and Second Purchasers daily in new receivable purchases under the Programs.

The Company’s risk of loss following the transfer of accounts receivable under the Programs is limited to the deferred consideration outstanding. The Company carries the deferred 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 consideration is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred under the Programs which have historically been insignificant.

Transfers of receivables under the Programs resulted in an expense for the loss on sale of $1 million and $2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $1 million and $2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, classified as selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings.

The Company reflects all cash flows related to the Programs as operating activities in its consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 because the cash received from the Purchasers and Second Purchasers upon both the sale and collection of the receivables is not subject to significantly different risks given the short-term nature of the Company’s trade receivables.

Estimated fair values for inventories carried at market are based on exchange-quoted prices, adjusted for differences in local markets, broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either listed or over-the-counter (OTC) markets.  Market valuations for the Company’s inventories are adjusted for location and quality because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts that have standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade. When unobservable inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the inventory is classified as Level 3. Changes in the fair value of inventories are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as a component of cost of products sold.

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 the fair value tables.  Fair value for forward commodity purchase and sale contracts is estimated based on exchange-quoted prices adjusted for differences in local markets.  These differences are generally determined using inputs from broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either the listed or OTC markets.  When observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the contract, it is classified in Level 2.  When unobservable inputs have a significant impact 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 statements 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 statements of earnings as a component of revenues, cost of products sold, and other (income) expense – net. The effective portions of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets 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 marketable securities are comprised of equity investments, U.S. Treasury securities, obligations of U.S. government agencies, and other debt securities.  Publicly traded equity investments and U.S. Treasury securities are valued using quoted market prices and are classified in Level 1.  U.S. government agency obligations and corporate and municipal debt securities are valued using third-party pricing services and substantially all are classified in Level 2. Unrealized changes in the fair value of available-for-sale marketable securities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of AOCI unless a decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary at which point the decline is recorded in earnings.

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 programs (the “Programs”) which represents notes receivable from the purchasers under the Programs. This amount is reflected in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet (see Notes 6 and 14). The Company carries the deferred 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 consideration is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred under the Programs which have historically been insignificant.

For all periods presented, the Company had no transfers between Level 1 and 2. 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.

In some cases, the price components that result in differences between the exchange-traded prices and the local prices 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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, 2014 is a weighted average 16.9% of the total price for assets and 17.8% for liabilities.

	Weighted Average % of Total Price
	June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
Component Type	Assets		Liabilities		Assets		Liabilities
Inventories and Related Payables
Basis	16.9	%	17.8	%	21.9	%	13.2	%
Transportation cost	5.0	%	—	%	12.3	%	—	%
Commodity Derivative Contracts
Basis	22.6	%	19.6	%	22.8	%	17.6	%
Transportation cost	4.9	%	6.4	%	32.5	%	12.3	%

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, the Company considers these price quotes as 100 percent unobservable and, therefore, the fair value of these items is reported in Level 3.
