Archer-Daniels-Midland Company: Strengthening Margins Through Operational Improvements & Renewable Production! 

In its first quarter 2024, Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) reported adjusted earnings per share of USD1.46, and an adjusted segment operating profit of USD1.3bn, representing an on-year decrease of 24%. ADM also achieved a trailing 4-quarter average of 11.2% for its adjusted Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) during the same quarter, while maintaining a strong balance sheet and healthy cash flows. Although the global grain and oilseed supply is expected to increase throughout the year amid an anticipated improvement in weather conditions, ADM proactively managed the risk of falling margins by driving the structural earnings, ROIC, and cash flow generation, enabling the company to continue investing in its business and returning cash to its shareholders.
