2.ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On December 8, 2022, Bunge announced the Company's intention to change the place of incorporation of Bunge's ultimate parent company from Bermuda to Switzerland (the "Redomestication"). Bunge shareholders approved the Redomestication at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on October 5, 2023.

Throughout 2023 and 2022, Argentina’s government has published multiple Emergency Decrees (collectively referred to as the “Export Programs”) which have introduced preferential U.S. dollar to Argentine peso foreign exchange rates available exclusively during specific periods of time and payable to Argentinian farmers on qualifying Argentine peso denominated sales of certain commodities. The below outlines new accounting pronouncements issuedExport Programs are aimed at boosting farmer selling and in 2017,turn commodity exports. Bunge is both a receiver of the preferential exchange rate for cash converted to Argentine pesos, as well as updates on certain previously disclosed Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) not yet adopted.
New Accounting Pronouncements — In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvement to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which better aligns hedge accounting with an organization’s risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition, the ASU simplifies the application of hedge accounting guidance in areas where practice issues exist. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including interim periods within those years. Bunge is assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB��issued ASU 2017-10, Service Concession Arrangements (Topic 853): Determining the Customera payer of the Operation Services. Topic 853 provides guidancesame preferential rate on purchases of various commodities from farmers and related export duties. Transactions related to these Export Programs were accounted for operating entities when they enter into a service concession arrangement with a public-sector grantor who both:
Controls or has the ability to modify or approve the services to be provided with the infrastructure and the related price
Controls, through ownership, beneficial entitlement, or otherwise, any residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement.
In a service concession arrangement within the scope of Topic 853, the operating entity should not account for the infrastructure as a lease or as property, plant, and equipment. An operating entity shouldpreferential rate. Please refer to other Topics to account for various aspectsNote 1 – Nature of a service concession arrangement. For example, an operating entity should account for revenue relating to construction, upgrade, or operation services in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The amendments in this ASU apply to the accounting by operating entities for service concession arrangements within the scopeBusiness, Basis of Topic 853. These updates will be effective when Bunge adopts the updates to Topic 606 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of ModificationPresentation, and Significant Accounting. The new guidance requires an entity to apply modification accounting to share-based payment awards only if the fair value, vesting conditions, or classification of the award as equity or liability changes as a result of a change in terms or conditions of the award. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost Policies, which changes the presentation of net periodic benefit cost related to employer sponsored defined benefit plans and other postretirement benefits. Service cost should be included in the same income statement line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period, while other components of net periodic benefit pension cost should be presented separately outside of operating income. Additionally, only service costs may be capitalized in assets. The standard is effectiveCompany’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Entities should apply the guidancefurther details on the presentation2022 Export Programs.
Ukraine-Russia War
On February 24, 2022, Russia initiated a military invasion of Ukraine (the "war"). Bunge’s Ukrainian operations comprise two oilseed crushing facilities, located in Mykolaiv and Dnipropetrovsk, a grain export terminal in Mykolaiv commercial seaport, numerous grain elevators, and an office in Kiev. The Company also operates a corn milling facility in Ukraine via a joint venture. As of September 30, 2023, total assets and total liabilities associated with Bunge’s Ukrainian subsidiaries each comprise approximately 2% of Bunge’s consolidated Total assets and Total liabilities, respectively.
Bunge’s operational activities in Ukraine have steadily increased during recent months, but remain limited and are subject to Bunge's ability to perform activities safely. On July 17, 2023, an agreement allowing the safe export of grain from three Ukrainian ports (Pivdennyi/Yuzhnvi, Odesa, and Chornomorsk; the "POC corridor") on the Black Sea expired. Following the termination of the componentsPOC corridor agreement, Russian attacks on key Ukrainian export infrastructure locations intensified. As of net periodic benefit cost inOctober 26, 2023, the income statement retrospectively. The guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component should be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets. The new guidance clarifies the scope of Subtopic 610-20 on the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The new requirements may be implemented either retrospectively to each period presented in the financial statements, or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the date of initial application. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard is effective for annual or interim impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The new requirements should be implemented on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments provide that when substantially alltermination of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set isPOC corridor agreement and recent Russian attacks on key export infrastructure have not a business. Otherwise, to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The new requirements should be implemented on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB amended ASC (Topic 605) Revenue Recognition and created ASC (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. During 2016, the FASB issued additional implementation guidance and practical expedients in ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606),Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, and ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to improve the guidance. The changes will be effective with respect to Bunge as of January 1, 2018 and it is expected that the modified retrospective approach will be applied with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. Management has completed its adoption assessment and does not expect a material impact onimpacted Bunge's results of operations in Ukraine as alternative routes to export product are being effectively utilized. The scope, intensity, duration, and outcome of the ongoing war is uncertain, and any continuation or escalation of the war may have a material adverse effect on Bunge, including its Ukrainian operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements -
In October 2016,March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting designed to ease the financial reporting burden related to reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2016-17: Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control, 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, to ensure the relief in Topic 848 covers the period of time during which provides that a single decision maker is not requiredsignificant number of modifications to consider indirect interests held through related parties that are under common control witheligible contracts and hedging relationships may take place. The ASU defers the decision maker to be equivalents of direct interests in their entity. Bunge adopted this ASU upon its effectivesunset date of January 1, 2017Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company is applying this guidance prospectively to all eligible contract modifications through December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2023, Bunge has concluded the modification of all eligible contracts and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on Bunge's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Trade Receivables Securitization Program
Bunge and certain of its subsidiaries participate in a trade receivables securitization program (the "Program") with a financial institution, as administrative agent, and certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the "Purchasers"). Koninklijke Bunge B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Bunge, acts as master servicer, responsible for servicing and collecting the accounts receivable for the Program. The Program is designed to enhance Bunge’s financial flexibility by providing an additional source of liquidity for its operations.
Bunge may also, from time to time with the consent of the administrative agent, request one or more of the existing committed purchasers or new committed purchasers to increase the total commitments by an amount not to exceed $250 million pursuant to an accordion provision. The Program includes sustainability provisions, pursuant to which the applicable margin will be increased or decreased based on Bunge's performance relative to certain sustainability targets, including, but not limited to, science-based targets that define Bunge's climate goals within its operations and a commitment to a deforestation-free supply chain in 2025.
On June 21, 2023, Bunge and its finance subsidiaries terminated the Bunge Master Trust and amended the Program to remove all references and all provisions related to the Bunge Master Trust and to automatically assign Bunge Limited’s obligations as existing guarantor to Bunge Global SA as successor guarantor, effective at the completion of the Redomestication (see Note 13 - Debt). In addition, MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Gotham Funding Corporation were added as a Purchaser under the Program.

Table of Contents
On November 16, 2022, Bunge and certain of its subsidiaries amended the Program from a deferred purchase price structure to a pledge structure. Under the new structure, Bunge Securitization B.V. ("BSBV"), a consolidated bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, transfers certain trade receivables to the Purchasers in exchange for a cash payment up to $1.1 billion and retains ownership of a population of unsold receivables. BSBV agrees to guaranty the collection of sold receivables and grants a lien to the administrative agent on all unsold receivables. Collections on unsold receivables and guarantee payments are classified as operating activities in Bunge’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
At November 16, 2022, the effective date of the amended Program, $741 million of sold receivables were repurchased through a non-cash investing exchange of the Deferred Purchase Price ("DPP"). As of September 30, 2023, the Company had collected a total of $731 million of repurchased receivables, including $85 million collected in the first nine months of 2023, which are reported as Proceeds from beneficial interest in securitized trade receivables under investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Program will terminate on May 17, 2031; however, each committed purchaser's commitment to purchase trade receivables under the Program will terminate earlier on May 17, 2025, unless extended for an additional period in accordance with the terms of the receivables transfer agreement.

Long-term receivables from farmers in Brazil, net of reserves - Bunge The Company provides financing to farmers in Brazil, primarily through secured advances against farmer commitments to deliver agricultural commodities (primarily soybeans) upon harvest of the then-current year’s crop, and through credit sales of fertilizer to farmers.

Certain such long-term receivables from farmers are originally recorded in Other current assets as prepaid commodity purchase contracts or secured advances to suppliers (see Note 6 - Other Current Assets) or Other non-current assets according to their maturity. Advances initially recorded in Other current assets are reclassified to Other non-current assets if collection issues arise and amounts become past due with resolution of such matters expected to take more than one year.
The average recorded investment in long-term receivables from farmers in Brazil for the nine months ended September 30, 20172023, and the year ended December 31, 20162022, was $263$93 million and $235$90 million, respectively. The table below summarizes Bunge’sthe Company’s recorded investment in long-term receivables from farmers in Brazil and the related allowance amounts.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
On September 19, 2023, Bunge entered into a fixed-priced call option agreement ("Option") to acquire the shares of Terminal de Granéis de Santa Catarina ("TGSC") with primary assets consisting of a grain port terminal currently under construction in South America strategically located near an existing Bunge facility. The agreement requires Bunge to make future installment payments for the Option which will be utilized, in part, to fund terminal construction. Required installment payments prior to the exercise of the Option are not material and are expected to be applied against the exercise price of the Option. TGSC is a variable interest entity ("VIE") as a result of having insufficient equity at risk. Bunge is the primary beneficiary due to a de facto agent relationship with the equity owner of TGSC and has consolidated the entity. As all of TGSC’s equity is held by a third-party, Bunge reflects all TGSC earnings and equity as attributable to noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
TGSC is not a business as defined by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the non-cash transaction resulting in initial consolidation of TGSC in the third quarter of 2023 represents an asset acquisition. Positions recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet upon initial consolidation consisted primarily of Other intangible assets, net - license ($87 million); Property, plant and equipment, net - construction-in-process ($36 million); Long-term debt ($35 million); and Noncontrolling interests ($91 million). Bunge did not recognize any gain or loss upon initial consolidation of TGSC. TGSC's assets can only be used to settle the entity’s own obligations and TGSC’s creditors have no recourse to Bunge’s assets beyond Bunge’s maximum exposure to loss associated with TGSC at any given time.
On May 1, 2022, Bunge completed a transaction with Chevron Corporation ("Chevron") to create a joint venture, Bunge Chevron Ag Renewables LLC (the "Joint Venture"), leveraging Bunge’s expertise in oilseed processing and farmer relationships, and Chevron’s expertise in fuels manufacturing and marketing, to help meet the demand for renewable fuels and to develop lower carbon intensity feedstocks.
The Joint Venture is a VIE in which Bunge is considered to be the primary beneficiary because it is responsible for the day-to-day operating decisions of the Joint Venture as well as the marketing of the principal products, primarily soybean meal and oil produced and sold by the Joint Venture, among other factors. The Joint Venture's assets can only be used to settle the Joint Venture’s own obligations and the Joint Venture’s creditors have no recourse to Bunge’s assets beyond Bunge’s maximum exposure to loss associated with the Joint Venture at any given time.
The following table presents the values of the assets and liabilities associated with the above listed VIEs in which Bunge is considered the primary beneficiary to the extent included in Bunge’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. All amounts exclude intercompany balances, which have been eliminated upon consolidation.
For all other VIEs in which Bunge is considered the primary beneficiary, the entities meet the definition of a business, and the VIE's assets can be used other than for the settlement of the VIE’s obligations. As such these VIEs have been excluded from the below table.

9.    INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense is provided on an interim basis based on management’s estimate of the annual effective income tax rate and includes the tax effects of certain discrete items, such as changes in tax laws or tax rates or other unusual or non-recurring tax adjustments in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, results from jurisdictions withprojecting a projected loss for the year or a year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded fromtreated discretely in the estimated annual effective tax rate.interim period in which they occur. The effective tax rate is highly dependent on the geographic distribution of Bunge’sthe Company’s worldwide earnings or losses and tax regulations in each jurisdiction. Management regularly monitors the assumptions used in estimating its annual effective tax rate, and adjusts estimates accordingly, including the realizability of deferred tax assets.assets, and adjusts estimates accordingly. Volatility in earnings results inwithin a taxing jurisdiction could result in a determination that additional valuation allowance adjustments may be warranted. While management does not currently believe any future valuation allowance adjustments will be significant,
Income tax expense for the actual results may be differentthree and the impact of such amounts will be recorded in the period in which management's assessment changes.
For the nine months ended September 30, 20172023 was $114 million and 2016, income$495 million, respectively. Income tax expense related to continuing operationsfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2$113 million and $118$257 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 1% and 19%.respectively. The year-to-date effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 1% in 2017 was21% primarily due to certain discrete items, including an income tax benefitjurisdictional mix of $32 million for a favorable resolution of income tax matters in Asia and an income tax benefit of $17 million related to a tax election in South America.earnings. The 2016 year-to-date effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 19% was driven21% primarily by discrete items, including an incomedue to unfavorable tax benefit of $60 million recorded for a change in estimate resulting from a tax election forimpact on North AmericaAmerican and an income tax benefit of $11 million recorded for income tax refund claims in Europe, partially offset by an income tax charge of $(32) million recorded for an uncertain tax position related to Asia. Excludingexpected European dispositions and the effect of these discrete items noted above, Bunge's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022, was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to jurisdictional mix of earnings, incentives in South America, and 2016, was 22%the release of valuation allowances in Europe and 26%, respectively. The reduction in the effective tax rate

from 2016 to 2017, taking into account an exclusion of the discrete tax items noted above, is primarily attributable to favorable earnings mix and increased tax exempt income.
Bunge believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $25 million of its unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized within the next twelve months as a result of the lapse of statute of limitations, or settlement with the tax authorities.Asia.
As a global enterprise, Bungethe Company files income tax returns that are subject to periodic examination and challenge by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. In many jurisdictions, income tax examinations, including settlement negotiations or litigation, may take several years to finalize. The Company is currently under examination or litigation in various locations throughout the world. While it is difficult to predict the final outcome or timing of resolution of any particular matter, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized.

11.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Bunge’sBunge's various financial instruments include certain components of working capital such as cash and cash equivalents, tradeTrade accounts receivable and tradeTrade accounts payable. Additionally, Bunge uses shortshort- and long-term debt to fund operating requirements. Cash and cash equivalents, tradeTrade accounts receivable, tradeTrade accounts payable, and short-termShort-term debt are generally stated at their carrying value, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value. See Note 133 - Trade Structured Finance Program for deferred purchase price receivable (“DPP”) related to sales of trade receivables, structured finance program, Note 87 - Other Non-Current Assets for long-term receivables from farmers in Brazil, net and other long-term investments, and Note 1213 - Debt for long-termLong-term debt. Bunge’sBunge's financial instruments also include derivative instruments and marketable securities, which are stated at fair value.
The majorityfair value standard describes three levels within its hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value.
LevelDescriptionFinancial Instrument (Assets / Liabilities)
Level 1Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Exchange traded derivative contracts.

Marketable securities in active markets.
Level 2Observable inputs, including adjusted Level 1 quotes, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.Exchange traded derivative contracts (less liquid markets).

Readily marketable inventories.

Over-the-counter ("OTC") commodity purchase and sales contracts.

OTC derivatives whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on exchange traded prices, adjusted for location specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Marketable securities in less active markets.
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.Assets and liabilities whose value is determined using proprietary pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.

Assets and liabilities for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
In many cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of Bunge’s exchange traded agricultural commodity futures are settled daily, generally through its clearing subsidiary and therefore, such futures are not included in the table below.  Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on thefair value hierarchy.

(4)    Unrealized losses on derivative contracts are generally included in Other current liabilities. There were $364 million and $332 million included in Other non-current liabilities at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Cash equivalents —Cash equivalents primarily includes money market funds and commercial paper investments. Bunge analyzes how the prices are derived and determines whether the prices are liquid or less liquid tradable prices. Cash equivalents with liquid prices are valued using prices from publicly available sources and classified as Level 1. Cash equivalents with less liquid prices are valued using third-party quotes or pricing models and classified as Level 2.
Readily marketable inventories—RMI reported at fair value are valued based on commodity futures exchange quotations, broker or dealer quotations, or market transactions in either listed or OTC markets with appropriate adjustments for differences in local markets where the Company's inventories are located. In such cases, the inventory is classified within Level 2. Certain inventories may utilize significant unobservable data related to local market adjustments to determine fair value. In such cases, the inventory is classified as Level 3.
If the Company used different methods or factors to determine fair values, amounts reported as unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and RMI at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of income could differ. Additionally, if market conditions change subsequent to the reporting date, amounts reported

Derivatives— ExchangeThe majority of exchange traded futures and options contracts and exchange cleared contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1. Bunge’sThe majority of the Company’s exchange traded agricultural commodity futures are cash-settled on a daily basis and, therefore, are not included in these tables. The Company's forward commodity purchase and salesales contracts are classified as derivatives along with other OTC derivative instruments, primarily relating primarily to freight, energy, foreign exchange and interest rates, and are classified within Level 2 or Level 3 as described below. BungeThe Company estimates fair values based on exchange quoted prices, adjusted as appropriate for differences in local markets. These differences are generally valued using inputs from broker or dealer quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or OTC markets. In such cases, these derivative contracts are classified within Level 2.
OTC derivative contracts include swaps, options, and structured transactions that are valued atgenerally fair value generally determinedvalued using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets which are not highly active, other observable inputs relevant to the asset or liability, and market inputs corroborated by correlation or other means. These valuation models include inputs such as interest rates, prices, and indices, to generate continuous yield or pricing curves and volatility factors. Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. Certain OTC derivatives trade in less active markets with less availability of pricing information and certain structured transactions can require internally developed model inputs that might not be observable in or corroborated by the market.  When unobservable inputs have a significant impact on

Marketable securities and investments with liquid prices are valued using prices from publicly available sources and classified inas Level 1. Transfers of assetsMarketable securities and liabilities into and/or out of Level 1 occur infrequently.  Transfers into Level 1 would generally only be expected to occur when an exchange cleared derivative contract historicallyinvestments with less liquid prices are valued using a valuation modelthird-party quotes or pricing models and classified as the result of a lack of observable inputs becomes sufficiently observable, resulting in the valuation price being essentially the exchange traded price.  There were no significant transfersLevel 2 or Level 3 as described below.
Level 3 Measurements
The following relates to Level 3 measurements. An instrument may transfer into or out of Level 1 during the periods presented.3 due to inputs becoming either observable or unobservable.
Readily marketable inventories — RMI reported at fair value are valued based on commodity futures exchange quotations, broker or dealer quotations, or market transactions in either listed or OTC markets with appropriate adjustments for differences in local markets where Bunge’s inventories are located. In such cases, the inventory is classified within Level 2.  Certain inventories may utilize significant unobservable data related to local market adjustments to determine fair value. In such cases, the inventory is classified as Level 3.
If Bunge used different methods or factors to determine fair values, amounts reported as unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and RMI at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of income could differ.  Additionally, if market conditions change subsequent to the reporting date, amounts reported in future periods as unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and RMI at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of income could differ.
Level 3 Measurements—Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 represent existing assets or liabilities that were either previously categorized as a higher level for which the inputs to the model became unobservable or assets and liabilities that were previously classified as Level 3 for which the lowest significant input became observable during the period. Bunge’sBunge's policy regarding the timing of transfers between levels is to record the transfers at the beginningend of the reporting period.
Level 3 Derivatives — Level 3 derivative instruments utilize both market observable and unobservable inputs within the fair value measurements.  These inputs include commodity prices, price volatility, interest rates, volumes and locations.  In addition, with the exception of the exchange cleared instruments, Bunge is exposed to loss in the event of the non-performance by counterparties on OTC derivative instruments and forward purchase and sale contracts.  Adjustments are made to fair values on occasions when non-performance risk is determined to represent a significant input in Bunge’s fair value determination.  These adjustments are based on Bunge’s estimate of the potential loss in the event of counterparty non-performance. Bunge did not have significant adjustments related to non-performance by derivative counterparties at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Level 3 Readily marketable inventories and otherTrade accounts payable—The significant unobservable inputs resulting in Level 3 classification for RMI, physically settled forward purchase and salesales contracts, and tradeTrade accounts receivable and payable, net, relate to certain management estimations regarding costs of transportation and other local market or location-related adjustments, primarily freight related adjustments in the interior of Brazil and the lack of market corroborated information in Canada. In both situations, Bungethe Company uses proprietary information such as purchase and salesales contracts and contracted prices for

to value freight, premiums and discounts to valuein its contracts. Movements in the priceprices of these unobservable inputs alone would not be expected to have a material effect on Bunge’sthe Company's financial statements as these contracts do not typically exceed one future crop cycle.
Level 3 Derivatives—Level 3 derivative instruments utilize both market observable and unobservable inputs within the fair value measurements. These inputs include commodity prices, price volatility, interest rates, volumes, and locations.
Level 3 Others—Primarily relates to marketable securities and investments valued using third-party quotes or pricing models with inputs based on similar securities adjusted to reflect management’s best estimate of the specific characteristics of the securities held by the Company. Such inputs represent a significant component of the fair value of the securities held by the Company, resulting in the securities being classified as Level 3.
The tables below present reconciliations for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172023, and 2016.2022. These instruments were valued using pricing models that management believes reflect the assumptions that would be used by a marketplace participant.

Derivative Instruments12.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Interest rate derivatives — Bunge may use variousThe Company uses derivative instruments to manage several market risks, such as interest rate, foreign currency, and commodity risk. Some of those hedges the Company enters into qualify for hedge accounting in the financial statements (Hedge Accounting Derivatives) and some, while intended as economic hedges, do not qualify or are not designated for hedge accounting (Economic Hedge Derivatives). As these derivatives forimpact the purpose of managingfinancial statements in different ways, they are discussed separately below.
Hedge Accounting Derivatives - The Company uses derivatives in qualifying hedge accounting relationships to manage certain of its interest rate, exposures.foreign currency, and commodity risks. In executing these hedge strategies, the Company primarily relies on the shortcut and critical terms match methods in designing its hedge accounting strategy, which results in little to no net earnings impact for these hedge relationships. The Company monitors these relationships on a quarterly basis and performs a quantitative analysis to validate the assertion that the hedges are highly effective if there are changes to the hedged item or hedging derivative.
Fair value hedges - These derivatives are used to hedge the effect of interest rate and currency exchange rate changes on certain long-term debt. Under fair value hedge accounting, the derivative is measured at fair value and the carrying value of hedged debt is adjusted for the change in value related to the exposure being hedged, with both adjustments offset to earnings. In other words, the earnings effect of a change in the fair value of the derivative will be substantially offset by the earnings effect of the change in the carrying value of the hedged debt. The net impact of fair value hedge accounting for interest rate swaps used by Bunge as hedging instruments have been recorded at fair valueis recognized in Interest expense. For cross currency swaps the changes in currency risk on the derivative are recognized in Foreign exchange gains (losses), and the changes in interest rate risk are recognized in Interest expense. Changes in basis risk are held in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized through the coupon.
Cash flow hedges of currency risk - The Company manages currency risk on certain forecasted sales, purchases, selling, general and administrative expenses, and recognized assets and liabilities with currency forwards. The change in the condensed consolidatedvalue of the forward is held in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings, at which time the change in value of the currency forward is reclassified to Net sales, Cost of goods sold, or Selling, general and administrative expenses. These hedges mature at various times through December 2024. Of the amount currently in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $2 million of deferred losses is expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months.
Net investment hedges - The Company hedges the currency risk of certain of its foreign subsidiaries with currency forwards for which the currency risk is remeasured through Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For currency forwards, the forward method is used. The change in the value of the forward is classified in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings by way of either sale or substantial liquidation of the foreign subsidiary.
The table below provides information about the balance sheets withsheet values of hedged items and the notional amount of derivatives used in hedging strategies. The notional amount of the derivative is the number of units of the underlying (for example, the notional principal amount of the debt in an interest rate swap). The notional amount is used to compute interest or other payment streams to be made under the contract and is a measure of the Company’s level of activity. The Company discloses derivative notional amounts on a gross basis.

Economic Hedge Derivatives -In addition to using derivatives in qualifying hedge relationships, the Company enters into derivatives to economically hedge its exposure to a variety of market risks it incurs in the normal course of operations.
Interest rate derivatives are used to hedge exposures to the Company's financial instrument portfolios and debt issuances. The impact of changes in fair value recordedof these instruments is primarily presented in earnings. Additionally,Interest expense.
Currency derivatives are used to hedge the carrying amountbalance sheet and commercial exposures that arise from the Company's global operations. The impact of the associated hedged debt is adjusted through earnings for changes in the fair value arising from changes in benchmark interest rates. No ineffectiveness is recognized on the hedging relationships, as they have been determined to be perfectly effective.

As of September 30, 2017, Bunge had several fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements that were designated as fair value hedges. Below is a summary of Bunge’s current interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedging instruments as of September 30, 2017.

goods sold when hedging commercial exposures and Foreign exchange derivatives and(losses) gains when hedging activities - Bunge may use a combination of various foreign exchangemonetary exposures.
Agricultural commodity derivatives to mitigate the risk from exchange rate fluctuations in connection with certain commercial and balance sheet exposures. The foreign exchange forward and option contracts may be designated as cash flow hedges. Bunge may also use net investment hedges to partially offset the translation adjustments arising from the remeasurement of its investments in certain of its foreign subsidiaries.
Foreign exchange risk is also managed through the use of foreign currency debt. Bunge has 800 million euro senior unsecured euro-denominated notes of which 697 million euro is designated and is effective as a net investment hedge of euro-denominated assets. Accordingly, foreign currency transaction gains or losses due to spot rate fluctuations on the euro-denominated debt instruments are included in foreign currency translation adjustment within other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI").
Bunge assesses, both at the inception of the hedge relationship and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedge transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged items. No ineffectiveness is recognized on the hedging relationships that have been determined to be perfectly effective.

Commodity derivatives - Bunge uses various commodity derivative instrumentsprimarily to manage its exposure to movements associated with agricultural commodity prices. Bunge generally uses exchange traded futures and options contracts to minimize the effects of changes in the prices of agricultural commodities on its agricultural commodity inventoriesCompany's inventory and forward purchase and sale contracts, but may also enter into OTC commodity transactions, including swaps, which are settled in cash at maturity or termination based on exchange-quoted futures prices. Forward purchase and sale contracts are primarily settled through delivery of agricultural commodities. While Bunge considers these exchange traded futures and forward purchase and sale

contracts to be effective economic hedges, Bunge does not designate or account for its commodity contracts as accounting hedges. The forward contracts require performance of both Bunge and the contract counterparty in future periods.sales contracts. Contracts to purchase agricultural commodities generally relate to current or future crop years for delivery periods quoted by regulated commodity exchanges. Contracts for the sale of agricultural commodities generally do not extend beyond one future crop cycle. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold.

Non-incomeBrazil Indirect Taxes - non-income tax claims - These tax claims relate principally to claims against Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries, primarily value addedvalue-added tax claims (ICMS, ISS, IPI and PIS/COFINS).
The determinationCompany continues to evaluate the merits of the manner in which various Brazilian federal, stateoutstanding claims from examinations of ICMS and municipal taxes apply to the operations of Bunge is subject to varying interpretations arising from the complex nature of BrazilianPIS/COFINS tax law. In addition to the matter discussed below, Bunge monitors other potential claims in Brazil regarding these value-added taxes. In particular, Bunge monitors thereturns concluded by Brazilian federal and state governments’ responses to recent Brazilian Supreme Court decisions invalidating on constitutional grounds certain ICMS incentives and benefits granted by various states. While Bunge was not a recipient of any of the incentives and benefits that were the subject of these Supreme Court decisions, it has received other similar tax incentives and benefits which are being challenged before the Supreme Court. Bunge has not received any tax assessment from the states that granted these incentives or benefits related to their validity and, based on Bunge's evaluation of this matter as required by U.S. GAAP, no liability has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
On February 13, 2015, Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court ruled in a leading case that certain state ICMS tax credits for staple foods (including soy oil, margarine, and mayonnaise and wheat flours) are unconstitutional. Bunge, like other companies in the Brazilian food industry, is involved in several administrative and judicial disputes with Brazilian states regarding these tax credits. While the leading case does not involve Bunge and each case is unique in facts and circumstances and applicable state law, the ruling has general precedent authority in lower court cases. Based on management’s review of the ruling (without considering the future success of any potential clarification or modulation of the ruling) and its general application to Bunge’s pending cases, management recorded a liability of 468 million Brazilian reais (approximately $177 million), plus applicable interest, as of December 31, 2014. Since 2015, Bunge settled a portion of its outstanding liabilities in amnesty programs in certain Brazilian states. As of September 30, 2017, the accrued liability was 407 million Brazilian reais (approximately $128 million), plus applicable interest.
As of September 30, 2017, the Brazilian state authorities have concluded examinations of the ICMS tax returns from 1990 to the present and have issued over 1,300 assessments to Bunge totaling approximately 1,060 million Brazilian reais (approximately $335 million as of September 30, 2017),  plus applicable interest and penalties on the outstanding amount.  As of December 31, 2016, the claims were approximately 797 million Brazilian reais (approximately $252 million), plus applicable interest and penalties.  Management intends to continue to vigorously defend against its pending state cases.  Management, in consultation with external legal advisors, has established appropriate reserves for potential exposures.
As of September 30, 2017 the Brazilian authorities have concluded examinations of the PIS COFINS tax returns and issued assessments to Bunge relating to years 2004 through 2011. As of September 30, 2017, the cumulative claims for 2004 through 2011 were approximately 550 million Brazilian reais (approximately $174 million), plus applicable interest and penalties. As of December 31, 2016, the cumulative claims were approximately 510 million Brazilian reais (approximately $161 million), plus applicable interest and penalties. Management, in consultation with external legal advisors, has established appropriate reserves for potential exposures.
Since 2010, the Argentine tax authorities have been conducting a reviewand will recognize them if and when loss is considered probable. The outstanding claims comprise the following:

Table of income and other taxes paid by exporters and processors of cereals and other agricultural commodities in the country. In that regard, Bunge has been subject to a numberContents

of assessments, proceedings and claims related to its activities. In 2011, Bunge’s subsidiary in Argentina paid $112 million of accrued export tax obligations under protest and preserved its rights with respect to such payment. In 2012, the Argentine tax authorities further assessed interest on these payments, which as of September 30, 2017, totaled approximately $255 million. In 2012, the Argentine government suspended Bunge’s Argentine subsidiary from a registry of grain traders. While the suspension has not had a material adverse effect on Bunge’s business in Argentina, these actions have resulted in additional administrative requirements and increased logistical costs on domestic grain shipments within Argentina. Bunge is challenging these actions in the Argentine courts.
Labor claims — The labor claims are principally claims against Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries. The labor claims primarily relate to dismissals, severance, health and safety, salary adjustments, and supplementary retirement benefits.
Civil and other claims— The civil and other claims relate to various disputes with third parties, including suppliers and customers.
During the first quarter of 2016, Bunge received a notice from the Brazilian Administrative Council for Economic Defense initiating an administrative proceeding against its Brazilian subsidiary and two of its employees, certain of its former employees, several other companies in the Brazilian wheat milling industry and others for alleged anticompetitive activities in the north and northeast of Brazil. Bunge is defending against this action; however, the proceedings are at an early stage and Bunge cannot, at this time, reasonably predict the ultimate outcome of the proceedings or sanctions, if any, which may be imposed.

(2) (2) Total Segment earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") is an operating performance measure used by Bunge’s management to evaluate segment operating activities. Bunge’s management believes Total segment earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) is an operating performance measure used by Bunge’s management to evaluate segment operating activities. Bunge’s management believes total segment EBIT is a useful measure of operating profitability, since the measure allows for an evaluation of the performance of its segments without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. In addition, total segment EBIT is a financial measure that is widely used by analysts and investors in Bunge’s industry. However, total segment EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Further, total segment EBIT is not a measure of consolidated operating results under U.S.GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP. See the reconciliation of total segment EBIT to net income (loss) in the table below.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

Total segment earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”("EBIT") is an operating performance measure used by Bunge’s management to evaluate segment operating activities. Bunge also uses Core Segment EBIT, Non-core Segment EBIT, Corporate and Other EBIT, and Total Segment EBIT to evaluate the operating performance of Bunge’s Core reportable segments, Non-core reportable segments, and Total reportable segments together with Corporate and Other. Core Segment EBIT is the aggregate of the EBIT of each of Bunge’s Agribusiness, Refined and Specialty Oils, and Milling segments. Non-core Segment EBIT is the EBIT of Bunge’s Sugar & Bioenergy segment. Total Segment EBIT is the aggregate of the EBIT of Bunge’s Core and Non-core reportable segments, together with Corporate and Other. Bunge’s management believes total segmentCore Segment EBIT, is aNon-core Segment EBIT, and Total Segment EBIT are useful measuremeasures of operating profitability since the measure allowsmeasures allow for an evaluation of the performance of its segments without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. In addition, EBIT is a financial measure that is widely used by analysts and investors in Bunge’s industry. Total Segment EBIT is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace netNet income (loss) attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Further, Total Segment EBIT excludes EBIT attributable to noncontrolling interests and is not a measure of consolidated operating results under U.S.GAAPU.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to netNet income (loss) or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP. See the reconciliation of Total Segment EBIT to net income (loss) attributable to Bunge below.

Segment Overview

Agribusiness - EBIT for the third quarter of 2017 was $103 million compared to $83 million in the third quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily driven by improvements in our South American grain origination operations, contributions from our Financial Services Group and effective risk management in our soybean processing operations that more than offset lower crush margins.
Edible oil products -EBIT for the third quarter of 2017 was $34 million compared to $34 million in the third quarter of 2016.Increases to gross profit from acquisitions in Europe and Argentina and increased volumes in Asia were offset by charges related to our Global Competitiveness Program (“GCP”).
Milling products - EBIT for the third quarter of 2017 was $23 million compared to $52 million in the third quarter of 2016. Lower gross profit was driven by continued weak economic conditions and lower demand for wheat products in Brazil and Mexico. Additionally, the third quarter of 2016 included a recovery of $14 million in Brazilian import taxes related to prior years.
Sugar and Bioenergy - EBIT for the third quarter of 2017 was $10 million compared to $35 million in the third quarter of 2016. Our sugarcane milling, trading and merchandising operations were impacted by lower sugar and ethanol prices, lower sales volumes and decreased trading and risk management results compared to the third quarter 2016.
Fertilizer - EBIT for the third quarter of 2017 was $5 million compared to $9 million in the third quarter of 2016.A decrease in gross profit from lower margins in Argentina was partially offset by decreases in SG&A expenses compared to the third quarter of 2016.
Segment Results
Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Bunge - For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, net income attributable to Bunge decreased by $26 million to $92 million from $118 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2016. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in segment EBIT of $38 million, particularly in milling products and sugar and bioenergy.

Income Tax Expense - In the quarter ended September 30, 2017, income tax expense was $29 million compared to $45 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The effective tax rate in the third quarter was 24% compared to 26% in the third quarter of 2016. The lower effective tax rate in 2017 was primarily due to favorable earnings mix and increased tax-exempt income on a lower base of pretax income.

Agribusiness Segment - Agribusiness segment net sales decreasedCash provided by 4%(used for) operating activities, adjusted is calculated by including the Proceeds from beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables with Cash provided by (used for) operating activities. Cash provided by (used for) operating activities, adjusted is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and is not intended to $7.7 billion inreplace Cash provided by (used for) operating activities, the third quartermost directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Our management believes presentation of 2017, comparedthis measure allows investors to $8.1 billion in the third quarter of 2016. An increase in volumes in Brazil from larger corn and soybean crops was primarily offset by lower commodity prices.


Cost of goods sold decreased by 4%, substantially in line with the decreases in net sales noted above. Additionally, the third quarter was impacted by higher industrial costs and depreciation from the acquisition of oilseed processing facilities in Western Europe in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016.

Despite overall increased volumes, gross profit decreased by $5 million in the third quarter of 2017, from $266 million in the third quarter of 2016. The benefits of stronger contributions from risk management and increased farmer selling in South America during the early part of the quarter only partially offset the impacts of compressed margins acrossview our operations from excess supply and impacts to logistics costs from adverse weather conditions in our North American grain origination business.

SG&A expenses increased $13 million to $187 million in the third quarter of 2017. The increase includes impairment charges of $4 million for intangible assets related to patents for aluminum phosphate technology, one-time employee separation costs of $4 million and professional services charges of $3 million related to our GCP. The increase also included added general and administrative expenses in Europe for acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, and was partially offset by lower professional services costs.

Foreign exchange results in the third quarter of 2017 were gains of $1 million, compared to losses of $7 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily driven by foreign currency hedges, which were offset by losses on U.S. dollar-denominated loans to fund operations.

Other income (expenses) - net was income of $24 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to income of $11 million in the third quarter of 2016. The third quarter of 2017 included stronger contributions from our Financial Services Group offset by a $13 million impairment charge related to our Indonesian palm oil plantation affiliate. The third quarter of 2016 included income generated by certain non-consolidated investments; primarily in our transportation and logistics affiliates in Brazil and the United States.

Segment EBIT increased by $20 million to $103 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $83 million in the third quarter of 2016. Increased volumes in Brazil from larger corn and soybean crops, effective risk management in our soybean processing operations, improvements in our South American grain origination operations and contributions from our Financial Services Group more than offset impacts from lower commodity prices and crush margins and charges related to our GCP and increased general and administrative expenses from acquisitions made in Europe during the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017.

Edible Oil Products Segment - Edible oil products segment net sales increased by 17% in the third quarter of 2017 to $2.0 billion, compared to $1.7 billion in the third quarter of 2016, resulting primarily from a 10% increase in volumes, driven by the acquisitions of two edible oil production facilities in Europe, our recent acquisition of an edible oil production facility in Argentina and increased volumes in Asia from an earlier start of the Diwali holiday season.

Cost of goods sold in the third quarter of 2017 increased 18% fromcash generating performance using the same period of 2016, which ismeasure that management uses in line with the increase in net sales noted above,evaluating financial and primarily driven by the impact of the recent acquisitionsbusiness performance and increased volumes in Asia.trends.

Executive Summary
Gross profit in the third quarter of 2017 increased to $125 million compared to $117 million for the third quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily driven by higher volumes.

SG&A expenses increased by 13% to $87 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared with $77 million in the same period a year ago. The increase primarily related to added general and administrative expenses in Europe and Argentina from new acquisitions. Additionally, the third quarter of 2017 included impairment charges of $2 million for intangible assets related to patents for aluminum phosphate technology and professional services charges of $1 million related to our GCP.

Segment EBIT of $34 million for the third quarter of 2017, was equal to the third quarter of 2016. Increases to gross profit from acquisitions in Argentina and Europe and increased volumes in Asia were offset by charges related to our GCP during the third quarter of 2017, and higher SG&A from our new acquisitions.

Milling Products Segment - Milling products segment net sales were $397 million in the third quarter of 2017, 8% lower compared to $430 million for the same period a year ago, resulting primarily from a 2% decrease in volumes driven by continued weak economic conditions and lower demand for wheat products in Brazil and Mexico.


Cost of goods sold decreased by 1% to $338 million for the third quarter of 2017 from $341 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily driven by lower commodity prices in wheat, our primary raw material. In addition, the third quarter was impacted by $1 million of severance and other employee benefit costs related to our GCP and the third quarter of 2016 included a recovery of $14 million in Brazilian import taxes paid in prior years.

Gross profit decreased by 34% to $59 million in the third quarter of 2017, down from $89 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to increased competition and competitive pricing in Brazil driven by challenging macro-economic conditions, the large domestic wheat crop that reduced margins and lower volume.

SG&A expenses decreased to $33 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $36 million in 2016 from lower spending in Brazil and Mexico. The decrease was partially offset by impairment charges of $1 million for intangible assets related to patents for aluminum phosphate technology and professional services charges of $1 million related to our GCP.

Segment EBIT decreased to $23 million in the third quarter of 2017, from $52 million last year, primarily as a result of lower gross profit driven by continued weak economic conditions and lower demand for wheat products in Brazil. The third quarter of 2016 included a recovery of $14 million in Brazilian import taxes paid in prior years.

Sugar and Bioenergy Segment - Sugar and Bioenergy segment net sales increased 8% to $1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $1.1 billion in the same quarter last year. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by trading and merchandising sales volumes.

Cost of goods sold increased 11% in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016, which is in line with the increase in net sales. The third quarter of 2017 results also included $8 million of indirect tax credits and $6 million of severance and restructuring charges related to our industrial operations.

Gross profit decreased to $36 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $67 million reported in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower prices and lower sales volumes in our sugar milling operations and weaker contributions from risk management opportunities in our sugar trading & merchandising operations.

SG&A expenses of $31 million in the third quarter of 2017 were flat compared to the same period of 2016, primarily due to lower amortization expense in the quarter, offset by impairment charges of $1 million for intangible assets related to patents for aluminum phosphate technology and professional services charges of $1 million related to our GCP in the third quarter of 2017.

Foreign exchange results in the third quarter of 2017 were $1 million compared to $2 million in the same period of 2016. These results relate primarily to foreign currency hedges.

Segment EBIT decreased to $10 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $35 million in the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower prices and lower sales volumes in our sugar milling operations and weaker contributions from risk management opportunities in our sugar trading & merchandising operations. The third quarter results were also impacted by $6 million of severance and restructuring charges related to our industrial operations, $2 million of SG&A charges related to our GCP, $3 million of losses from our renewable oils affiliate in Brazil and $8 million of indirect tax credits.

Fertilizer Segment - Fertilizer segment net sales were $121 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $129 million in the third quarter of 2016, with no significant change in volumes.

Cost of goods sold were $112 million in the third quarter of 2017, consistent with the third quarter of 2016.

Gross profit decreased by $8 million to $9 million in the third quarter of 2017, down from $17 million in the comparable period of 2016. The decrease was primarily driven by lower margins in Argentina.

SG&A expenses were $2 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $6 million in the comparable period of 2016, primarily due to a reduction of bad debt expense.

Segment EBIT decreased by $4 million to $5 million in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to $9 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease in gross profit from lower margins in Argentina was offset by decreases in SG&A expenses compared to third quarter of 2016.

Foreign exchange (losses) gains - net decreased 49% to a loss of $52 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016,2023. The current year increase in losses is primarily driven by the combination of farmer retention and increased competition in South America which impacted marginsMerchandising from current year losses in our grain origination, oilseed processing and trading and distribution businesses and limited contributions from risk management due to a lack of positioning opportunities.

SG&A expenses increased $74 million to $585 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which represented a 14% increase from the $511 million in the same period last year. This increase included added general and administrative expenses in Europe related to new acquisitions and an 11% appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The decrease from December 31, 2022, was primarily due to decreased Net sales in the current period driven by factors described in the Segment Overview & Results of Operations above. The increase from September 30, 2022, was primarily due to the change in the Trade Receivables Securitization Program structure, as described in Note 4 - Trade Accounts Receivable and Trade Receivables Securitization Program to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which results in inclusion of receivables pledged to the administrative agent in Trade accounts receivable.
Inventories (“RMI”) - Inventories were $7,548 million at September 30, 2023, a decrease of $860 million from $8,408 million at December 31, 2022, and a decrease of $564 million from $8,112 million at September 30, 2022.

The lower Short-term debt levels at September 30, 2023, compared to our merchandising business.December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, were due to the repayment of 1.85% Senior Notes - Euro in June 2023 and higher working capital funding requirements in the prior year partially offset by higher borrowings by Bunge operating companies on local bank lines of credit.

Financing Arrangements and Outstanding Indebtedness - We conduct Prior to June 21, 2023, we conducted most of our third party financing activities through a centralized financing structure that providesprovided the companyCompany with efficient access to debt and capital markets.

(1)    Short-term debt rating applies only to $1 Billion Commercial Paper Program with Bunge Limited Finance Corp. as the issuer.

Following the announcement of the Viterra acquisition, all three rating agencies reviewed our credit ratings and published updated credit opinions on us, reflecting their views of the credit profile of the company both on a current standalone basis, and a pro-forma at closing basis. Based on its review, Standard and Poor's upgraded our credit rating to BBB+ and further placed us on positive outlook for an upgrade to A-. Moody’s kept our credit rating unchanged at Baa2 and placed us on a review for upgrade to Baa1. Fitch kept our credit rating unchanged at BBB and placed us on credit watch positive for an upgrade to BBB+. We expect Standard and Poor's, Moody’s and Fitch to resolve their positive outlook, review for upgrade and credit watch positive status respectively at or before the closing date of the acquisition, based on a variety of factors including but not limited to our operating performance, our financial position and high certainty that the acquisition will close.
On June 21, 2023, we terminated our then existing $600 million asset-backed commercial paper program and the related liquidity and letter of credit facilities as well as established a new $1 billion unsecured corporate commercial paper program (the “$1 Billion Commercial Paper Program”). Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s assigned short-term ratings to the $1 Billion Commercial Paper Program of A-2 and P-2, respectively.
Our debt agreements do not have any credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate maturity of our debt. However, credit rating downgrades would increase our borrowing costs under our syndicated credit facilities (a credit rating upgrade, on the other hand, would reduce our borrowing cost) and, depending on their severity, could impede our ability to obtain credit facilities or access the capital markets in the future on competitive

terms. A significant increase in our borrowing costs could impair our ability to compete effectively in our business relative to competitors with higher credit ratings.
Our credit facilities and certain senior notes require us to comply with specified financial covenants including minimum net worth, minimum current ratio, a maximum debt to capitalization ratio and limitations on secured indebtedness. We were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2017.2023.
Trade Receivable Securitization Program - Bunge and certain of its subsidiaries participate in $700 million trade receivables securitization program, which terminates on May 26, 2021. However, each committed purchaser’s commitment to fund trade receivables sold under the Program will terminate on May 26, 2019 unless extended in accordance with the terms of the receivables transfer agreement.

Total Bunge shareholders’ equity was $7,546$10,251 million at September 30, 20172023, compared to $7,144$9,224 million at December 31, 2016.2022, an increase of $1,027 million. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to cumulative translation gains$1,627 million of $445 million and $220 million netNet income attributable to Bunge, $147 million of Other comprehensive income, as described in Note 17 - Equity, $51 million of share-based compensation expense, partially offset by $488 million repurchases of common shares, as described in Note 17 - Equity, $290 million of declared dividends to common shareholders and $20 million from the issuance of common shares under our share based compensation programs.
Share repurchase program - As noted in Note 2 - Acquisitions and Dispositions, on June 12, 2023, Bunge's Board of Directors approved the expansion of an existing $500 million program for the repurchase of Bunge’s issued and outstanding common shares. At the time, approximately $300 million of capacity for the repurchase of Bunge common shares remained available under the existing program and Bunge's Board of Directors approved the expansion of the program by an additional $1.7 billion, for an aggregate unutilized capacity of $2.0 billion at June 12, 2023.

Noncontrolling interest increased to $204 million at September 30, 2017 from $199 million at December 31, 2016, primarily due to income attributable to our noncontrolling interest entities and the effect of currency translation, partially offset by dividends to noncontrolling interests.
shares for $488 million. As of September 30, 2017, we had 6,899,700 of 4.875% cumulative convertible perpetual preference shares outstanding with an aggregate liquidation preference of $690 million. Each convertible perpetual preference share has an initial liquidation preference of $100, which will be adjusted for any accumulated and unpaid dividends. The convertible perpetual preference shares carry an annual dividend of $4.875 per share payable quarterly. As a result of adjustments made to the initial conversion price because cash dividends paid on Bunge Limited’s2023, 6,436,651 common shares exceeded certain specified thresholds, each convertible perpetual preference share is convertible, atwere repurchased for $688 million and $1.5 billion remained outstanding for repurchases under the holder’s option, at any time into 1.1640program.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Risk Management
As a result of our global operating, investing and financing activities, we are exposed to changes in, among other things, agricultural commodity prices, transportation costs, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and energy costs, and inflationary pressures, which may affect our results of operations and financial position. We actively monitor and manage these various market risks associated with our business activities. Our risk management decisions take place in various locations, but exposure limits are centrally set and monitored, operating under a global governance framework. Our corporate risk management group analyzes and monitors various risk exposures globally. Additionally, our Board of Directors’ FinanceDirectors' Enterprise Risk Management Committee and our internal Management Risk Policy Committee overseesoversee our global market risk governance framework, including all risk management policies and limits.
We use derivative instruments for the purpose of managing the exposures associated with commodity prices, transportation costs, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and energy costs, and for positioning our overall portfolio relative to potentialexpected market movements in accordance with established policies and procedures. We enter into derivative instruments primarily with major financial institutions, commodity exchanges in the case of commodity futures and options or approved exchange clearing shipping companiesand major financial institutions in the case of ocean freight. While these derivative instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, for hedged exposures those fluctuations are generally offset by the changes in the fair value of the underlying exposures. The derivative instruments that we use for hedging purposes are intended to reduce the volatility onof our results of operations; however,operations. However, they can occasionally result in earnings volatility, which may be material. See Note 1112 - Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a more detailed discussion of our use of derivative instruments.
Credit and Counterparty Risk
Through our normal business activities, we are subject to significant credit and counterparty risks that arise through normal commercial sales and purchases, including forward commitments to buy or sell, and through various other over-the-counter ("OTC") derivative instruments that we utilizeuse to manage risks inherent in our business activities. We define credit and counterparty risk as a potential financial loss due to the failure of a counterparty to honor its obligations. The exposure is measured based upon several factors, including unpaid accounts receivable from counterparties, andas well as unrealized gains from forward purchase or sales contracts and OTC derivative instruments (including forward purchase and sale contracts).instruments. Credit and counterparty risk also includes sovereign credit risk. We actively monitor credit and counterparty risk through regular reviews of exposures and credit analysis by the localregional credit staff andteams, as well as a review by various localglobal and corporate committees whichthat monitor credit and counterparty performance. We record provisions for counterparty losses from time to time as a result of our credit and counterparty analysis.
During periods of tight conditions in global credit markets, downturns in regional or global economic conditions, and/or significant price volatility, credit and counterparty risks are heightened.heightened, such as during 2023 when concerns about the financial condition of a number of banking institutions in the United States and globally developed and resulted in government and regulatory intervention. Although our counterparty risk and exposure to these financial institutions has been de minimis, we continue to monitor our exposure to all financial institution counterparties. This increased risk is monitored through, among other things, exposure reporting, increased communication with key counterparties, management reviews, and a specific focus on counterparties or groups of counterparties that we may determine as high risk. In addition, we may limit new credit extensionsWe have reduced exposures and associated position limits in certain cases and reduced our use of non-exchange cleared derivative instruments.cases.
Commodities Risk
We operate in many areas of the food industry, from agricultural raw materials to the production and sale of branded food products. As a result, we purchase and produce various materials, many of which are agricultural commodities, includingincluding: soybeans, soybean oil, soybean meal, palm oil (from crude to various degrees of refined products), softseeds (including sunflower seed, rapeseed and canola) and related oil and meal derived from them, wheat, barley, shea nut, and corn. In addition, we grow and purchase sugarcane to produce sugar, ethanol and electricity. Agricultural commodities are subject to price fluctuations due to a number of unpredictable factors, including inflationary pressures, that may create price risk. As described above, we are also subject to the risk of counterparty non-performance under forward purchase or saleand sales contracts. From time to time, we have experienced instances of counterparty non-performance including as a result of significant declines in counterparty profitability under these contracts due to significant movements in commodity prices between the time the contracts were executedentered into and the contractual forward delivery period.
We enter into various derivative contracts with the primary objective of managing our exposure to adverse price movements in the agricultural commodities used and produced in our business operations. We have established policies that limit the amount of unhedged fixed price agricultural commodity positions permissible for our operating companies, which are generally a combination of volumevolumetric, drawdown, and value-at-risk (“VaR”("VaR") limits. We measure and review our net commodities positioncommodity

positions on a daily basis. BungeWe also employs stress testingemploy stress-testing techniques in order to quantify itsour exposures to price and liquidity risks under non-normal or event driven market conditions.
Our daily net agricultural commodity position consists of inventory, forward purchase and salesales contracts, and OTC and exchange tradedexchange-traded derivative instruments, including those used to hedge portions of our production requirements. The fair value of that position is a summation of the fair values calculated forof each agricultural commodity, calculated by valuing all of our commodity positions for the period at quoted market prices, for the period where available, or by utilizing a close proxy. VaR is calculated on the net position and

monitored at the 95% confidence interval. In addition, scenario analysis and stress testing are performed. For example, one measure of market risk is estimated as the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in prices. The results of this analysis, which may differ from actual results, are as follows:

Ocean Freight Risk
Ocean freight represents a significant portion of our operating costs. The market price for ocean freight varies depending on the supply and demand for ocean vessels, global economic conditions, inflationary pressure, and other factors. We enter into time charter agreements for time on ocean freight vessels based on forecasted requirements for the purpose of transporting agricultural commodities. Our time charter agreements generally have terms ranging from two months to approximately sevenfive years. We use financial derivatives, generally freight forward agreements, to hedge portions of our ocean freight costs. The ocean freight derivatives are included in otherOther current assets and otherOther current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value.
Energy Risk
We purchase various energy commodities such as electricity, natural gas and bunker fuel, thatwhich are used to operate our manufacturing facilities and ocean freight vessels. TheThese energy commodities are subject to price risk.risk, including inflationary pressures. We use financial derivatives, including exchange traded and OTC swaps and options for various purposes, including to manage our exposure to volatility in energy costs.costs and market prices. These energy derivatives are included in otherOther current assets and otherOther current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value.
Currency Risk
Our global operations require active participation in foreign exchange markets. Our primary foreign currency exposures are the Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, the euroEuro, and other European currencies, the Argentine peso, and the Chinese yuan/renminbi. To reduce the risk arising from foreign exchange rate fluctuations, we enter into derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options. The changes in market value of such contracts have a high correlation to the price changes in the related currency exposures. The potential loss in fair value forof such net currency positionpositions resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates as of September 30, 20172023, was not material.
When determining our exposure, we exclude intercompany loans that are deemed to be permanently invested. The repaymentsRepayments of permanently invested intercompany loans are notneither planned ornor anticipated in the foreseeable future and are therefore are treated as analogous to equity for accounting purposes. As a result, the foreign exchange gains and losses on these borrowings are excluded from the determination of netNet income (loss) and recorded as a component of accumulatedAccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Included in otherOther comprehensive income (loss) are foreign exchange lossesgains of $101$97 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172023, and foreign exchange lossesgains of $257$1 million for the year ended December 31, 20162022, related to permanently invested intercompany loans. Activity in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes reclassification of $85 million in foreign exchange losses from Other comprehensive income (loss) to net income, net of tax of zero, related to the sale of Bunge's Russian operations. See Note 2 - Acquisitions and Dispositions to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Interest Rate Risk
We have debt in fixed and floating rate instruments. We are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates.rates, including inflationary pressures. We may enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage our interest rate exposure related to our debt portfolio.
The aggregate fair value of our short and long-term debt, based on market yields at September 30, 2017,2023, was $5,735$5,208 million, with a carrying value of $5,554$5,182 million. There was no significant change in our interest rate risk at September 30, 2017.
A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in the interest yields on our senior notefixed rate debt and related interest rate swaps at September 30, 20172023, would result in a decrease of approximately $83 millionless than 1% change in the fair value of our debt. Similarly, a decrease of 100 basis points in thedebt and interest yields on our debt at September 30, 2017 would cause an increase of approximately $83 million in the fair value of our debt.rate swaps.
A hypothetical 1%100 basis point change in LIBORthe applicable reference rate, such as SOFR, would result in a change of approximately $37$55 million in our interest expense on our variable rate debt at September 30, 2017.2023. Some of our variable rate debt is denominated in currencies other than in U.S. dollars and is indexed to non-U.S. dollar-based interest rate indices, such as EURIBOR and TJLPTLP, and certain benchmark rates in local bank markets. As such, the hypothetical 1%100 basis point change in interest rate ignores the potential impact of any currency movements. See Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of certain risks related to interest rates.

Inflation Risk
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Inflationary factors generally affect us by increasing our labor and overhead costs, as well as costs associated with certain risks identified above, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. We have historically been able to recover the impacts of inflation through sales price increases, however we cannot reasonably estimate our ability to successfully recover any impact of inflation through price increases in the future. Our inability to do so could harm our results of operations and financial position.
Derivative Instruments
Foreign Exchange Derivatives—We use a combination of foreign exchange forward, swap, futures and options contracts in certain of our operations to mitigate the risk of exchange rate fluctuations in connection with certain commercial and balance sheet exposures. The foreign exchange forward swap and option contracts may be designated as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. We may also use net investment hedges to partially offset the translation adjustments arising from the remeasurement of our investment in certain of our foreign subsidiaries.
We assess, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedge transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged items.
Interest Rate Derivatives—We may enter into interest rate swap agreements for the purpose of managing certain of our interest rate exposures. Interest rate swaps used by us as hedging instruments are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded contemporaneously in earnings. Certain of these agreements may be designated as fair value hedges. In such instances, the carrying amount of the associated hedged debt is also adjusted through earnings for changes in fair value arising from changes in benchmark interest rates. We may also enter into interest rate basis swap agreements that do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. The impact of changes in fair value of interest rate swap agreements is primarily presented in Interest expense.
Commodity Derivatives—We primarily use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to movements associated with agricultural commodity prices. We generally use exchange-traded futures and options contracts to minimize the effects of changes in the prices of agricultural commodities held as inventories or subject to forward purchase and sales contracts, but may also enter into OTC commodity transactions, including swaps, which are settled in cash at maturity or termination based on exchange-quoted futures prices. Changes in fair values of exchange-traded futures contracts, representing the unrealized gains and/or losses on these instruments, are settled daily, generally through our 100% owned futures clearing subsidiary. Forward purchase and sales contracts are primarily settled through delivery of agricultural commodities. While we consider these exchange-traded futures and forward purchase and sales contracts to be effective economic hedges, we do not designate or account for the majority of our commodity contracts as hedges. Changes in fair values of these contracts and related RMI are included in Cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The forward contracts require performance of both us and the contract counterparty in future periods. Contracts to purchase agricultural commodities generally relate to current or future crop years for delivery periods quoted by regulated commodity exchanges. Contracts for the sale of agricultural commodities generally do not extend beyond one future crop cycle.

Changes in the fair values of energy derivatives are recorded in Cost of goods sold.
Other Derivatives—We may also enter into other derivatives, including credit default swaps, carbon emission derivatives and equity derivatives, to manage our exposure to credit risk and broader macroeconomic risks. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures - Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by thean issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of September 30, 2017,2023, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Internal ControlsControl Over Financial Reporting - There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controlscontrol over financial reporting during the third quarter ended September 30, 2017,2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. However, we continue to migrate certain processes from across our operations to shared business service models in order to consolidate back-office functions while standardizing our processes and financial systems globally. These initiatives are not in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. We plan to continue these initiatives in phases over the next several years and, accordingly, we have and will continue to align and streamline the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to our business processes and accounting procedures. Specifically, we have continued migrating certain of our financial reporting systems in Argentina to our South American Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, a process that is expected to carry on for several months, and which may result in changes to our internal controls over financial reporting relating to our Argentinian operations.

Additionally, management performed an evaluation of the impacts of the Ukraine-Russia War on our internal controls over financial reporting. In doing so management noted that, as a result of the war, we are currently unable to perform certain of our Ukrainian internal controls over financial reporting, primarily relating to on-site physical inspections of inventory, due to safety concerns, particularly in areas of active conflict. As of September 30, 2023, the carrying value associated with Company inventories in areas of active conflict has been substantially reserved. In response, management has implemented compensating controls, including using third party contractors to carry out visual inspections of the physical condition of our assets held at Ukrainian facilities in non-active conflict areas.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 20162022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated by reference in the “Risks Related to the Acquisition” and “Risks Related to the Redomestication” sections of the Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on August 7, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the definitive proxy statement are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Following are material updates to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K:

None.We are subject to global and regional economic downturns and related risks.
ITEM 3.DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.The level of demand for our products is affected by global and regional demographic and macroeconomic conditions, including population growth rates and changes in standards of living. A significant downturn in global economic growth, or recessionary conditions in major geographic regions, may lead to reduced demand for agricultural commodities and food products, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Further, deteriorating economic and political conditions in our major markets, such as inflation, increased unemployment, decreases in disposable income, declines in consumer confidence, uncertainty about economic stability, or economic slowdowns or recessions, could cause a decrease in demand for our products.
