This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, which can be found in Part I. Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements.

Company Overview

Archer-Daniels-Midland Company and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "ADM") unlocks the power of nature to enrich the quality of life. The Company is an essential global agricultural supply chain manager and processor, providing food security by connecting local needs with global capabilities. ADM is also a premier human and animal nutrition provider, as well as a leader in health and well-being products.

Reportable Segments

The Company’s operations are organized, managed, and classified into three reportable segments: Ag Services and Oilseeds, Carbohydrate Solutions, and Nutrition. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard*,* and are classified within either Corporate or Other Business.

See Part I. Item 1. Note 12. Segment Information of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for further details on the nature of our business and our reportable operating segments.

2026 Priorities

The Company established the following priorities for 2026 to help achieve its goal to continue to build and sustain long-term value creation for its shareholders and customers:

• Continuing to improve manufacturing costs - Driving manufacturing efficiencies and lower costs through process streamlining, further automation, and improved utilization rates.

• Reducing transaction costs through digitalization and Artificial Intelligence - Targeting reductions in the cost of executing transactions across our global footprint, including further digitizing workflows to reduce manual touchpoints, errors and cycle times, optimizing freight and logistics networks, and enhancing supply chain management.

• Investing in high-growth opportunities - Generating returns in the short-to-medium term and the long-term based on our value creation pathways of advanced nutrition, functional health, biosolutions, precision fermentation and decarbonization.

• Developing talent and capabilities - Ensuring our workforce has the skills and capabilities our business needs for today and for the future, including creating dedicated centers of capability in critical functional areas.

Sustainability

For more than 120 years, ADM has built its business on the strength of agriculture, innovation, and responsible stewardship. Today, sustainability is a core driver of ADM’s growth strategy, powering innovation, improving resilience, and unlocking new value across the global food system. The crops that ADM turns into an expansive array of products depend on healthy soil, water and air, and as the Company looks to the future, it is advancing efforts that enable and support agriculture and farmers, drive innovation and long-term value, and protect and strengthen vital supply chains.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ADM is focused on scaling regenerative practices in partnership with farmers by supporting them with tools, insights, and financial incentives to help their operations thrive. ADM is innovating to meet growing demand for sustainably sourced, bio-based products, creating new market opportunities for farmers whose crops deliver health, transparency, and environmental benefits. The Company is modernizing its own operations to improve efficiency, enhance competitiveness, reduce emissions, and help build a more resilient supply chain.

Significant Portfolio Actions and Targeted Actions to Deliver Cost Savings

On February 4, 2025, the Company announced targeted actions expected to deliver in excess of $500 million of aggregate cost savings in 3 to 5 years, which commenced in 2025. These include cost optimization and portfolio simplification initiatives designed to help the Company achieve cost efficiencies. See Note 13. Asset Impairment, Exit, and Restructuring Costs of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding restructuring related charges.

ADM’s recent significant portfolio actions and announcements included:

• The launch of Two Rivers Premium Oils, LLC, a cottonseed joint venture, in January 2026 with Planters Cotton Oil Mill Inc. (“Planters”), a premier cottonseed processor. Planters contributed its crush plant in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, as well as additional origination and storage facilities located in the region, to the joint venture. ADM contributed its Memphis, Tennessee, cottonseed facility.

• The launch of Akralos Holding Company LLC, an animal feed joint venture, in March 2026 with Alltech Inc., a global leader in agriculture, of a North American animal feed joint venture to offer an industry-leading range of products and solutions for livestock, equine, backyard and leisure animals. Alltech and ADM contributed feed mills across the U.S. and Canada, along with respective portions of premix supplies.

Renewable Fuel Standard and Clean Fuel Production Credit

The Company continues to monitor regulatory and other developments in the U.S. biofuel market.

In February 2026, the U.S. Treasury and IRS proposed regulations relating to policy incentives under Section 45Z of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 45Z”). In March 2026, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s announcement of the final Renewable Volume Obligations (“RVO”) for 2026 and 2027 under the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard increased certain renewable fuel blending requirements.

In the three months ended March 31, 2026, these regulatory announcements provided additional visibility into renewable fuel demand and incentive frameworks and positively impacted renewable fuel blending economics, clean fuel credit values, and demand for certain agricultural feedstocks. The impact on the U.S. biofuel market continued in the three months ended June 30, 2026, and continued to benefit the Company’s ethanol and biofuel operations, as well as crush and grind margins. However, renewable fuel markets remain subject to ongoing regulatory, legislative, and implementation risks, including the timing and substance of final Section 45Z regulations, future policy actions, changes in credit values and shifts in blending economics which could continue to drive volatility in the Company’s results of operations.

Tariff Uncertainty

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize the imposition of tariffs by the executive branch. While the decision invalidated the presidential administration’s tariffs imposed under IEEPA, it did not establish a refund mechanism, which was subsequently set up by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) in April 2026. The CBP initiated the refund process in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The Company is monitoring the refund process and related tariff risks, including potential new tariffs and the expected United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”) review process. However, based on the information currently available to it, the Company does not expect tariff-related risks to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
