St. Louis, MO - October 28, 2020 - Bunge Limited (NYSE:BG) today reported third quarter 2020 results.
• Q3 GAAP EPS of $1.84 vs. $(10.57) in the prior year; $2.47 vs. $1.28 on an adjusted basis excluding certain gains/charges and mark-to-market timing differences
• Strong results driven by outstanding execution across Bunge’s global platform
• Exceptional Agribusiness performance driven by oilseed processing, which benefited from higher margins and volumes
• Edible Oils results better than expected; year to date results higher than prior year despite COVID-19 impacts
• Increasing full-year adjusted EPS outlook to between $6.25 and $6.75 based on strong Q3 results and improving market trends

Ø Overview
Greg Heckman, Bunge's Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our team delivered a strong third quarter with outstanding execution across our global platform, leveraging improving market trends. We achieved record crush utilization and captured exceptionally strong margins while supporting our customers and maintaining measures to protect the health of our employees. These results, and our performance over the past few quarters, reflect the meaningful changes we’ve made to our operating model, portfolio and financial approach.
"Looking into next year, we expect many of the favorable trends to continue with demand for our products remaining strong. We also expect additional global demand for vegetable oil from the growth of biofuels.
With our strength in oilseed processing, in addition to our global origination and distribution capabilities, we believe we are well positioned to meet market demands and capitalize on this growth."

Sugar & Bioenergy Summary
Segment results for this quarter reflected our share of the results of the 50/50 joint venture with BP. By contrast, third quarter 2019 reflected our 100 percent ownership of the Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations that we contributed to the joint venture in December 2019. Additionally, results of the joint venture are reported on a one-month lag.
Results in the quarter benefited from higher year-over-year average sugar and ethanol prices in local currency, as well as improved industrial efficiency and costs. Earnings in the third quarter of last year benefited from $32 million of lower depreciation due to our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations being classified as held for sale.

Cash Flow
Nine Months Ended Sep 30, 2020 Sep 30, 2019
Cash used for operating activities $ (2,128) $ (1,313)
Proceeds from beneficial interest in securitized trade receivables 1,164 800
Cash used for operating activities, adjusted $ (964) $ (513)
Cash used for operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $2,128 million compared to cash used of $1,313 million in the same period last year. Adjusting for the proceeds from beneficial interest in securitized trade receivables, cash used by operating activities was $964 million compared with cash used for operating activities of $513 million in the prior year. This increase in cash used for operations was primarily driven by higher working capital levels, reflecting higher commodity prices and increased purchases of readily marketable inventory.

Income Taxes
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, income tax expense was $38 million and $151 million, respectively, compared to $(28) million and $70 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in income tax expense during 2020 is primarily due to higher pre-tax income in 2020.

Ø COVID-19 Update
Bunge continues to take proactive steps to protect the health and safety of its employees, their families and the communities in which it operates. Through an internal task force, the Company closely monitors developments related to the pandemic and provides guidance to its facilities worldwide. Each of Bunge’s facilities around the globe is taking steps to respond to COVID-19 based on the nature of its operations and the actions being taken by local governments. The Company has continued to restrict travel, follow upgraded cleaning practices at its facilities and offices, require remote work arrangements for teammates wherever possible, reduce staffing in its production facilities and keep social distancing and other safety related measures in place.
Numerous countries around the globe, including places where Bunge operates production facilities or maintains offices, have continued to impose quarantines and significant restrictions, including shelter-inplace or stay-at-home orders. Additionally, the rise in the number of observed COVID-19 cases in many parts of the world may lead to governments re-imposing travel and work restrictions or imposing additional restrictions. In locations where such restrictions are in place, Bunge has been deemed an essential or life-sustaining operation. To date, the Company has not seen a significant disruption in its supply chain, has been able to mitigate logistics and distribution issues that have arisen, and substantially all of its facilities around the world have continued to operate at or near normal levels.
Bunge continues to monitor local, regional and national governmental actions that could limit or restrict the movement of agricultural commodities or products or otherwise disrupt physical product flows or its ability to operate in the future.

Ø Outlook
Excluding notable items and mark-to-market timing differences, we now expect full-year adjusted earnings of between $6.25 and $6.75 per share.
In Agribusiness, our improved outlook reflects our third quarter year-to-date results, the current market environment and forward curves.

In Edible Oils, we now expect adjusted results to be up compared to last year due to the strong performance of our consumer businesses and growing biofuel demand. Expected full-year adjusted results in Milling continue to be in line with last year.
In Fertilizer, we now expect full-year adjusted results to be slightly higher than last year.

Corporate and Other is expected to be comparable to last year, excluding Bunge Ventures.
For 2020, the Company expects an adjusted annual effective tax rate in the range of 20% to 22%; net interest expense of approximately $230 million; capital expenditures in the range of $375 to $400 million; and depreciation and amortization of approximately $430 million.
