Attractive Alternative to Sugar

• HFCS has broader functionality than sucrose

• Relative to sugar, HFCS saves the food industry
billions of dollars each year
• Nutritionally, HFCS is the same as sugar or honey

• Nielsen data show that

Notes: Non-GAAP Reconciliation and
Restatement Information
(1) The Company uses certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These are
measures of performance not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and should be considered
in addition to, not in lieu of, GAAP reported measures.

Earnings adjusted for specified items

Earnings adjusted for specified items is ADM’s
ADM s net earnings after removal of the effect on earnings of certain specified items
items.
Management believes that earnings adjusted for specified items represents a useful measure of ADM’s performance. Earnings
adjusted for specified items is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace net earnings, the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure, and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or any other measure of
operating results under GAAP.

Total segment operating profit

Total segment operating profit, which is the consolidated segment operating profit of all of ADM’s operating segments, is ADM’s
consolidated income from operations before income tax that includes interest income and expense of each segment relating to
financing operating working capital. Total segment operating profit is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to
replace earnings before income tax, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Total segment operating profit is not
a measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to income from
operations before income tax or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP.

LIFO impact per share (net of tax) and Earnings (ex LIFO)
The Company values certain inventories using the lower of cost, determined by either the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or last-in, first-
out (LIFO) methods, or market. This document contains non-GAAP financial measures, including the after tax impact of LIFO on
dil t d earnings
diluted i per share
h and
d LIFO adjusted
dj t d return
t on nett assets.
t W We b
believe
li th
the iinclusion
l i off th
the iimpactt off changes
h iin th
the LIFO
reserve, net of tax, in this document helps investors gain a meaningful understanding of operating results, and is consistent with
how management measures the Company's performance, especially when comparing such results to prior periods.

((2)) Earnings
g for FY2009 have been restated following g the adoption
p of ASC Topic
p 470-20 - Debt with Conversion and Other Options,
p ,
and ASC Topic 810 – Consolidation. Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted this amended guidance which required
retrospective application to all periods presented.
