"We are optimistic about a much better second half of the year, but some market headwinds will persist. Global trade remains strong, opportunities are emerging from recent weather concerns in North America and farmers in Brazil are proving willing sellers as prices have increased. While consumption of soy meal and oil is strong, the crushing industry oversupplied the market during the second quarter, resulting in a meal surplus that is expected to weigh on margins through the third quarter.
In Food & Ingredients, Edible Oils is on track and should significantly exceed last year's result. However, our Milling business, particularly in Brazil, is facing headwinds from contraction in flour consumption both in the industrial and food service segments. Sugar & Bioenergy should continue to benefit from strong operational performance and hedges, and will have a strong second half of the year.
"Recently, we announced a global Competitiveness Program to lower costs, increase efficiencies and reengineer the way we work. We expect this program to reduce overhead costs by $250 million by the end of 2019 with $100 million of savings expected in 2018. This is a transformational next step that will significantly boost our competitiveness as market conditions improve, and builds on our existing industrial productivity program, which has delivered $43 million of benefits year-to-date toward our full year estimate of $100 million."
Milling ProductsThe decline in segment performance was mainly driven by Brazil and Mexico. In Brazil, the region with the largest year-over-year variance, results were impacted by lower volumes and margins as consumers continued to trade down to lower value products and an overall decline in flour consumption in both the food service and food processor channels. Also impacting results in Brazil was aggressive pricing by small mills, which increased production in response to the larger than normal Brazilian wheat crop. In Mexico, results were impacted by a decrease in margins, delays in passing through higher raw material costs in local currency due to competitive pressures and unfavorable currency translation. However, results improved in Mexico from the first quarter, and we expect further improvement in both regions as we progress through the year. U.S. milling was steady with a promising outlook for the second half of the year.
Sugar & BioenergyIncreased results in the quarter were primarily driven by our sugarcane milling operation, which benefitted from higher sugar volumes and production that was hedged at higher prices than last year. Despite prolonged periods of wet weather during the quarter, crushing volumes and ATR were higher than last year due to improved industrial and farming performance. Results in our biofuel joint ventures were higher, reflecting increased ethanol margins in Argentina. Results in the quarter were impacted by a $6 million loss from our renewable oils joint venture.
FertilizerHigher results in the quarter, were driven by slight improvements in Argentina and Brazil. Typically, the first and second quarters are seasonal low points for fertilizer volumes as a result of the South American agricultural growing cycle.
Cash FlowCash used for operations in the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $477 million compared to cash used of $684 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year variance primarily reflects positive changes in working capital offset in part by lower earnings.
Income TaxesExcluding approximately $49 million of notable tax benefits, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately 20%.
Outlook
Thom Boehlert, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Overall, we expect a much improved second half of the year. In Agribusiness, the third quarter is off to a good start. While South American soy crush margins have expanded, they, along with soy crush margins in Europe, are still below our earlier expectations. As a result, we are adjusting our full-year 2017 EBIT range to $550 million to $650 million, weighted to the fourth quarter.
"In Food & Ingredients, we expect Edible Oils to continue to show strong year-over-year improvement on higher volumes and margins. However, due to challenging first half conditions in Milling, and in anticipation of continued soft consumer demand in Brazil and Mexico, we are adjusting our full-year 2017 EBIT range to $210 million to $230 million, weighted to the fourth quarter.
"In Sugar & Bioenergy, we are entering the seasonally strong period of the year when ATR yields rapidly increase. Our sugarcane milling operations are trending well, and the segment remains on target to achieve full-year EBIT of $100 to $120 million assuming normal weather patterns. Results will be weighted toward the fourth quarter, reflecting seasonally tighter ethanol supply.
"In Fertilizer, we continue to expect 2017 segment EBIT to be approximately $25 million.
"We expect our full-year 2017 tax rate, excluding notables, to be 18% to 22%, which is more favorable than our previous expectation of 23% to 27%, primarily due to our forecasted earnings mix."

Definition and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
This earnings release contains certain "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Bunge has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures below. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Total Segment EBIT and Total Segment EBIT, adjusted
Bunge uses total segment earnings before interest and taxes ("Total Segment EBIT") to evaluate Bunge's operating performance. Total Segment EBIT is the aggregate of each of our five reportable segments' earnings before interest and taxes. Total Segment EBIT, adjusted, is calculated by excluding certain gains and charges as described above in "Additional Financial Information" from Total Segment EBIT. Total Segment EBIT and Total Segment EBIT, adjusted are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Bunge's management believes these non-GAAP measures are a useful measure of its reportable segments' operating profitability, since the measures allow for an evaluation of segment performance without regard to their financing methods or capital structure. For this reason, operating performance measures such as these non-GAAP measures are widely used by analysts and investors in Bunge's industries. These non-GAAP measures are 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.

Net Income (loss) per common share from continuing operations–diluted, adjusted
Net income (loss) per common share from continuing operations-diluted, adjusted, excludes certain gains and charges and discontinued operations and is a non-GAAP financial measure. This measure is not a measure of earnings per common share-diluted, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. It should not be considered as an alternative to earnings per share-diluted or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP. Net income (loss) per common share from continuing operations-diluted, adjusted is a useful measure of the Company's profitability.
