Overview
Greg Heckman, Bunge’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our team delivered better than expected results for the second quarter given market conditions while also making significant progress on our strategic priorities. Most notably, we completed our transformative combination with Viterra. The integration is proceeding well, and we are pleased to begin working aggressively on commercial opportunities. We also completed the sale of our U.S. corn milling business which further simplifies our portfolio along our global integrated value chains.
"With our increased diversity across crops and geographies, we are even better positioned to efficiently connect farmers to consumers and deliver essential food, feed and fuel to the world. I am confident that our enhanced scale and capabilities will allow us to meet the evolving needs of our customers and deliver greater value to all our stakeholders as we move forward.”

Corporate and Other Summary
The decrease in Corporate expenses was primarily driven by performance-based compensation. Prior year Other results include a loss of $21 million from the sugar & bioenergy joint venture that we divested in the fourth quarter of last year.
Cash Flow
| | Six Months Ended | | | | | | | | Jun 30, 2025 | Jun 30, 2024 | | | | | | Cash provided by (used for) operating activities | $ | (1,357 | ) | $ | (480 | ) | | Certain reconciling items to Adjusted funds from operations (4) | | 2,050 | | | 1,375 | | | Adjusted funds from operations (4) | $ | 693 | | $ | 895 | |
Cash used for operations in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was $1,357 million and $480 million, respectively. The reduction of cash from operations was primarily driven by net changes in working capital. Adjusted funds from operations (FFO) was $693 million compared to $895 million in the prior year. (4)
Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, income tax expense was $204 million compared to $147 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher pre-tax income in 2025.
Outlook (5)
Taking into account second quarter results, the current margin and macro environment and forward curves, we continue to forecast full-year 2025 adjusted EPS of approximately $7.75, which no longer includes second half earnings from our corn milling business because of its sale which closed on June 30, 2025. This forecast excludes the impact of Viterra, which closed on July 2, 2025.
In Agribusiness, full-year results are forecasted to be higher than our previous outlook driven by Processing, but remain down from last year.
In Refined and Specialty Oils, full-year results are expected to be down from our previous outlook reflecting the softer second quarter performance and down from last year.
In Milling, full-year results are expected to be down from our previous outlook reflecting the sale of corn milling and in line with last year.
In Corporate and Other, full-year results are expected to be in line with our previous outlook and more favorable than last year.
Additionally, the Company expects the following for 2025: an adjusted annual effective tax rate in the range of 21% to 25%; net interest expense in the lower end of the range of $220 to $250 million; capital expenditures in the range of $1.5 to $1.7 billion; and depreciation and amortization of approximately $490 million.
We anticipate providing a forecast for the combined company prior to reporting third quarter earnings.
