ADM reported third-quarter 2025 results on November 4, 2025, with GAAP earnings of $108 million and adjusted EPS of $0.92, down 16% from $1.09 a year earlier. The company revised its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to $3.25-$3.50 per share from approximately $4.00, primarily to reflect lower crush margins. The lower outlook means shareholders face a reduced expected earnings level for 2025.
Third-quarter GAAP earnings were $108 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, versus $0.04 a year earlier.
Adjusted EPS was $0.92 versus $1.09 in the prior year quarter; total segment operating profit was $845 million, down 19%.

The company also narrowed its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to approximately $4.00 per share, based on first-half performance and expected margin benefits in the fourth quarter and beyond. For shareholders, lower earnings and a lower outlook point to weaker profitability, with management citing biofuel policy uncertainty and a challenging Ag Services and Oilseeds environment.

Full-year adjusted EPS fell 32% to $4.74 and GAAP EPS fell 43% to $3.65, and the company guided to 2025 adjusted EPS of $4.00 to $4.75, citing weaker market fundamentals and biofuel and trade policy uncertainty.

ADM said its board appointed Carrie Nichol as Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, effective March 1, 2025, succeeding Molly Strader Fruit, who moves to a Vice President role in total rewards and HR operations. Nichol most recently served as Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and Global Process Leader at Cargill, and the filing sets out her initial pay package.
