Bunge restructures reporting segments following Viterra merger
Under the new structure, Bunge will report its financial results across four core segments, effective from the third quarter of 2025.
USA – Bunge Global SA, a leading agribusiness and food company, has announced a significant overhaul of its financial reporting structure following its recent merger with Viterra Limited.
The changes, effective from the third quarter of 2025, are designed better to reflect the operational realities of the newly combined entity and provide greater transparency to investors.
Under the new structure, Bunge will report its financial results across four core segments: soybean processing and refining, softseed processing and refining, other oilseeds processing and refining, and grain merchandising and milling.
The company will also continue to report under the “corporate and other” category.
CEO Greg Heckman emphasized that the revised segmentation and supplemental volume reporting aim to give stakeholders a clearer view of the key drivers behind the company’s performance and value chain.
“We are pleased to announce our new segmentation and supplemental volume reporting, which we believe provides investors with a clear understanding of the key drivers of our combined company’s results and value chains,” Heckman stated.
In tandem with the reporting changes, Bunge has also recast its full-year 2025 earnings outlook.
The company now expects adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to range between US$7.30 and US$7.60, down slightly from the previous forecast of US$7.75.
The earlier projection, shared during the July 31 earnings call, did not account for the impact of the Viterra merger, which officially closed on July 2.
The realignment comes amid a broader strategic shift for Bunge, which has traditionally focused on soybean processing.
The integration with Viterra is expected to diversify its crop mix and expand its global footprint, particularly in softseeds and grain trading.
Analysts suggest that the new structure could enhance operational efficiency and investor confidence by aligning financial disclosures with the company’s evolving business model.
Bunge’s third-quarter results, reflecting the new segmentation, are scheduled for release on November 5, 2025.
Investors and analysts will be closely watching to assess how the changes impact performance metrics and strategic direction in the post-merger landscape.
These segment reporting changes reflect Bunge’s commitment to provide investors with greater clarity on its integrated operations post-merger and to navigate better the evolving risks and opportunities in the agriculture sector.
Bunge’s updated segment reporting and financial outlook represent an essential step in fully integrating Viterra and optimizing the combined company’s operations and investor communication.
