- Results are on a continuing operations basis: the Food Ingredients and SCL (Soy Crush, Concentrates and Lecithin) disposal groups are reported as discontinued operations, so prior-year revenue is restated; net sales were $1,954M.
- The year-ago quarter was boosted by a $488M gain on extinguishment of debt and a $112M tax benefit, which is why net income fell to $51M from $599M.
- Gross margin was 43.7% vs 42.9% a year earlier.
- Operating income was $158M, a 8.1% margin vs 7.4% a year earlier.
- Diluted EPS was $0.20 vs $2.33 a year earlier.

How this is compiled
Who runs the company now comes from primary sources only: for US companies, the CEO and CFO signatures on the latest SEC report, and a separate board chair from the proxy statement (DEF 14A); for Russian and Kazakh issuers, the company website and its disclosures. We recheck weekly; if a name can’t be confirmed, or a leadership-change filing came out after the report, we don’t show it until it’s reviewed. History comes from proxy statements, disclosures, Wikipedia and Wikidata; years show when a term started and ended, “since” means the person is in office now. An outcome for a previous employer is shown only when the linked document states it.

How we calculate
Figures are annual report lines; if a year was later restated (discontinued operations, mergers), we use the latest filing that shows it. Free cash flow is operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; dividends are cash paid to common shareholders during the year. “—” means the line isn’t in the filing. “—*” in revenue: we don’t show that year’s revenue — the annual figure is more than 2% off the sum of the quarters, or the filing tags several revenue lines and the total can’t be pinned down. The table starts in 2011; where the listed issuer changed (holding reorganization, redomicile), earlier years come from the predecessor’s filings.
