Bunge Announces External Volume Reporting Changes

Bunge Limited (NYSE:BG) announced today that, beginning in the first quarter of 2022, it changed its methodology for externally reported volumes to simplify and more closely align volume reporting with Bunge's primary income-generating activities and those of industry peers.

The primary change comprises the elimination of grains and oilseeds origination volumes.

Volumes will now be reported as follows:

  • Processing volumes represent oilseed volumes crushed (processed) during a period, which approximate sales volumes to third parties during the same period.
  • Merchandising volumes represent sales volumes to third party customers.
  • Refined and Specialty Oils segment volumes represent sales volumes to third party customers.
  • Milling segment volumes represent feedstock ground (processed) during a period, which approximate sales volumes during the same period.

No volumes will be reported for either our Sugar and Bioenergy segment, which primarily comprises Bunge’s net earnings from its 50% interest in the BP Bunge Bioenergia joint venture, or for our Corporate and Other activities, which have no material revenue-generating activities.

In conjunction with this change, certain prior year amounts have been recast to conform to the new volumes reporting methodology. The new reporting methodology has no impact on previously issued financial statements and footnotes.

To illustrate the impact of the new volumes reporting methodology, volume information for the four 2021 fiscal quarters and fiscal year ended 2021 is presented below, both recast under the new reporting methodology and as originally presented under the previous methodology.
