ADM (NYSE: ADM) has reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The company's net earnings for the second quarter were $219 million, with adjusted net earnings of $452 million. The second quarter EPS was $0.45, while the adjusted EPS was $0.93, both showing a decline compared to the prior year quarter.

Year-to-date cash flows provided by operating activities were $4.0 billion, with cash flows from operations before working capital of $1.2 billion.
