Monish Patolawala Executive Vice President Chief Financial Officer | ADM
ADM has released its financial results for the first quarter of 2025, showing net earnings of $295 million and adjusted net earnings of $338 million. Earnings per share were reported at $0.61, with an adjusted EPS of $0.70, both reflecting a decline compared to the previous year.
The company's Chair and CEO, Juan Luciano, stated, "ADM delivered results aligned with our outlook and the market expectations for the first quarter." He noted that despite a challenging external environment, ADM made progress in operational improvements in North America and cost savings through targeted realignments.
In the Ag Services and Oilseeds (AS&O) segment, operating profit was down 52% from last year due to lower volumes and margins affected by tariff uncertainties. The Carbohydrate Solutions segment saw a smaller decrease in operating profit by 3%, while the Nutrition segment experienced a 13% increase driven by growth in Flavors and Animal Nutrition.
ADM's earnings before income taxes stood at $353 million for the quarter, marking a 60% drop from last year. Total segment operating profit was reported at $747 million, excluding specified restructuring charges of $49 million.
Luciano also reaffirmed ADM's full-year guidance for 2025 but cautioned that results might be on the lower end of their projected range due to current market conditions.
The company will hold a webcast to discuss these results further. Information is available on their website.
