Previous wording

As of March 29, 2025, Seaboard had cash and short-term investments of nearly $1.1 billion and total net working capital of $1 billion. Of the total cash and short-term investments balance, $90 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. Seaboard considers substantially all foreign profits permanently reinvested in its foreign operations, except for previously-taxed undistributed earnings of Seaboard Marine. For all other foreign subsidiaries, Seaboard intends to continue permanently reinvesting their funds outside the U.S. as they continue to demonstrate no need to repatriate them to fund Seaboard’s U.S. operations for the foreseeable future. Seaboard has not recorded deferred taxes for state or foreign withholding taxes that would result upon repatriation of these funds to the U.S. as determination of the tax is not practical due to the complexity of the multi-jurisdictional tax environment in which Seaboard operates.

Seaboard had long-term debt of $984 million as of June 28, 2025, which included a Term Loan due 2033 of $961 million. Current maturities of long-term debt were $15 million as of June 28, 2025.

Previous wording

Cash used in operating activities was $20 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $19 million for 2024. The change in operating activities cash flows was due to less cash generated from working capital of $115 million, partially offset by an increase in net earnings, adjusted for non-cash items, of $65 million. The decrease in cash generated from working capital was primarily inventory-related due to timing of sales and inventory purchases in Seaboard’s CT&M segment. This segment primarily handles large shipments of grain and the associated timing of deliveries can result in significant working capital fluctuations across periods.

Current wording

Cash from operating activities was $61 million for the six months ended June 28, 2025, compared to $25 million in the same period of 2024. The change in operating cash flows was due to $77 million of proceeds from investment tax credit sales and an increase in earnings, adjusted for non-cash items of $100 million, partially offset by an increase in cash used for working capital of $138 million. The working capital fluctuation was primarily inventory-related due to timing of sales and inventory purchases in Seaboard’s CT&M segment. This segment primarily handles large shipments of grain, and the associated timing of deliveries can result in significant working capital fluctuations across periods.

Previous wording

Seaboard’s overall liquidity management strategy. Short-term investment purchases are a result of the investment of excess cash, asset allocation from the active management of the portfolio and re-investment of matured securities.

Current wording

in accordance with milestones achieved throughout construction. Two new dual-fueled vessels were completed and delivered during the first half of 2025, and four others are expected to be completed and delivered during the remainder of 2025. The new dual-fueled vessels bring greater fuel efficiency, increased tonnage capacity, and a host of other advantages to the Marine segment’s fleet and create a better overall fleet balance of owned and chartered vessels. Cash flows from investing activities for short-term investments are part of Seaboard’s overall liquidity management strategy. Short-term investment purchases are a result of the investment of excess cash, asset allocation from the active management of the portfolio and re-investment of matured securities. More cash proceeds from sale of investments funded increased cash used for long-term investments of $66 million, including $50 million discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the increased investment in capital expenditures.

Previous wording

Cash provided by financing activities was $62 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $119 million for 2024. Cash flows from financing activities primarily include draws and repayments under committed and uncommitted revolving facilities held with financial institutions across multiple jurisdictions and currencies. The daily needs for working capital primarily influence changes in Seaboard’s borrowing balances.

Current wording

Cash from financing activities was $150 million for the six months of 2025, compared to $208 million in the same period of 2024. Cash flows from financing activities primarily include draws and repayments under committed and uncommitted revolving facilities held with financial institutions across multiple jurisdictions and currencies. The daily needs for working capital primarily influence changes in Seaboard’s borrowing balances. During the second quarter of 2025, Seaboard’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $100 million of its Shares. As of June 28, 2025, Seaboard had repurchased $24 million of Shares. The share repurchase program does not obligate Seaboard to acquire a minimum amount of Shares, and Seaboard cannot predict when or if it will repurchase any Shares or the amount of any such repurchases.

Previous wording

For the remainder of 2025, management has budgeted capital expenditures totaling approximately $451 million. The Marine segment planned expenditures include primarily installment payments on vessels under construction. The Pork segment planned expenditures are primarily for normal replacement of breeding herd and other investments. Management anticipates paying for these capital expenditures from a combination of available cash, the use of available short-term investments and Seaboard’s available borrowing capacity. There are no material updates to our obligations as discussed in the 2024 10-K.

Current wording

For the remainder of 2025, management has budgeted capital expenditures totaling approximately $385 million. The planned expenditures primarily include Marine segment installment payments on vessels under construction and Pork segment normal replacement of breeding herd and other investments expenditures. In July 2025, subsequent to the second quarter of 2025 period end, the Power segment entered into an agreement to construct a new power-generating barge for operation in the Dominican Republic. The total cost estimate of the project is approximately $315 million, with $40 million of anticipated payments during the second half of 2025 based on milestones achieved. Management anticipates paying for these capital expenditures from a combination of available cash, use of available short-term investments and Seaboard’s available borrowing capacity. There are no other material updates to our obligations as discussed in the 2024 10-K.

Previous wording

Seaboard’s operations are heavily commodity-driven and financial performance for certain subsidiaries is very cyclical based on respective global commodity markets and trends in economic activity. Subsequent to the first quarter of 2025 period end, the U.S. government has imposed, and is considering imposing, additional tariffs and trade restrictions on certain goods. In response to these actions, certain countries have imposed, or are considering imposing, tariffs on certain goods produced in the U.S. Such activity has resulted in volatile commodity markets and uncertain global economic conditions which directly negatively impact some segments and indirectly other segments. The risk of additional tariffs, trade restrictions by the U.S. and other countries, and the status of certain trade agreements is uncertain and continues to evolve. Seaboard cannot be certain of the outcome, which could adversely impact its financial condition and results of operations. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion.

Current wording

Seaboard’s operations are heavily commodity-driven and financial performance for certain subsidiaries is very cyclical based on respective global commodity markets and trends in economic activity. During April 2025, the U.S. government imposed tariffs and trade restrictions on certain goods from some foreign jurisdictions. In response to these actions, some countries imposed retaliatory tariffs on certain goods produced in the U.S. The impact of the tariffs was not material to Seaboard’s second quarter of 2025 results, as some tariffs were reduced temporarily or paused; however, such activity has resulted in volatile commodity markets and uncertain global economic conditions. New tariffs were announced in July 2025 and the risk of additional tariffs, trade restrictions by the U.S. and other countries, and the status of certain trade agreements is uncertain and continues to evolve. Seaboard cannot be certain of the outcome, which could indirectly or directly adversely impact its future financial condition and results of operations. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion.

Previous wording

Net sales for the three-month period of 2025 increased $125 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase primarily reflected higher sales of $71 million in the Marine segment due to higher voyage revenue, $35 million in the CT&M segment driven by higher volumes of commodities sold and $34 million in the Liquid Fuels segment from increased volumes of fuel and environmental credits sold. See the net sales discussion by reportable segment below for more details.

Current wording

Net sales increased $271 million and $396 million for the three- and six-month periods of 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The increases for the three- and six-month periods primarily reflected higher CT&M segment sales of $212 million and $247 million, respectively, driven by higher volumes of commodities sold, Marine segment sales of $58 million and $129 million, respectively, due to higher voyage revenue, and Liquid Fuels segment sales of $28 million and $62 million, respectively from increased volumes and prices of fuel and environmental credits sold. See the net sales discussion by reportable segment below for more details.

Previous wording

Operating income increased $58 million for the three-month period of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The change primarily reflected an increase of $42 million in Marine segment operating income due to higher voyage revenue, and $23 million in both the CT&M and Liquid Fuels segments driven primarily by mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts and higher margins on products sold, respectively. The increases were partially offset by a $32 million decrease in Pork segment operating income due to lower margins of pork products and market hogs sold. See the operating income discussion by reportable segment below for more details.

Current wording

Operating income increased $22 million and $80 million for the three- and six-month periods of 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. The three-month period primarily reflected increases in operating income of $32 million in the Pork segment due to higher margins of pork products and market hogs sold and $26 million in the Marine segment driven by higher voyage revenue, partially offset by a $27 million decrease in CT&M segment operating income driven primarily by mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts. The six-month period primarily reflected an increase in operating income of $68 million in the Marine segment due to higher voyage revenue. See the operating income discussion by reportable segment below for more details.

Previous wording

Seaboard computes its year-to-date provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax income and adjusts for discrete items recorded during the period. The effective tax rate for the three-month period of 2025 increased compared to the three-month period of 2024 primarily as a result of a decrease in the amount of investment tax credits generated and the impact of incremental Pillar Two taxes. The Organization for Economic Cooperation released Pillar Two as part of its Base Erosion and Profit Shifting initiative to ensure large multinational companies pay a minimum level of tax on the income arising in each jurisdiction where they operate. The adoption and effective dates of these rules vary by country and the rules include some temporary safe harbors. Several countries in which Seaboard operates enacted Pillar Two laws in 2024, and additional countries in which Seaboard has material operations, including the Isle of Man and The Bahamas, adopted Pillar Two rules effective in 2025. These jurisdictions had effective tax rates that were lower than 15% prior to implementing the new rules. Seaboard will continue to monitor legislative developments related to Pillar Two in the countries in which it operates and the potential impact on future results.

Previous wording

The decrease in net sales for the three-month period of 2025 compared to 2024 was driven by lower volumes of market hogs and pork products sold, primarily due to timing of deliveries to the processing plants, which each decreased sales $18 million, partially offset by higher selling prices.

Current wording

The decrease in net sales for the three-month and six-month periods of 2025, compared to 2024 was driven by lower volumes of market hogs and pork products sold, primarily due to availability of hogs and timing of deliveries to the processing plants, which decreased sales $26 million and $62 million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, partially offset by higher selling prices for both periods.

Previous wording

The decrease in operating income for the three-month period of 2025 compared to 2024 reflected lower margins on pork products and market hogs sold, due to favorable adjustments to the lower of cost and net realizable value inventory reserve during the first quarter of 2024 with no adjustments in 2025, and an increase in legal claims expense. With improved pork prices and lower grain commodity costs, the inventory reserve decreased $39 million during the first quarter of 2024. This decrease in operating income was partially offset by lower feed costs of $57 million due to price and volume. Based on current uncertainties with tariffs, and as it is difficult to predict market prices for pork products, including the indirect impact of tariffs, management is uncertain whether the Pork segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2025. In April 2025, in response to U.S.-issued trade tariffs, China issued a series of escalating retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, including pork. China has historically been an outlet for certain of Seaboard’s pork products, and represented 3% of this segment’s total sales for the year ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, the future remains uncertain with respect to tariffs that could originate in other pork export destinations. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion of risks associated with tariffs.

Current wording

In April 2025, in response to U.S.-issued trade tariffs, China issued a series of escalating retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, including pork, that were later reduced or delayed and are still pending final resolution. China has historically been an outlet for certain of Seaboard’s pork products and represented 3% of this segment’s total sales for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Pork segment’s results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 28, 2025 were not materially impacted by tariffs. Seaboard continues to monitor the current uncertainties with tariffs, including with respect to tariffs that could originate in other pork export destinations and potential indirect impacts. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion of risks associated with tariffs. While management anticipates the Pork segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2025, no assurances can be made as it is difficult to predict market prices for pork products, the cost of production or third-party hogs for future periods.

Previous wording

Net sales increased for the three-month period of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher volumes of commodities sold, which increased sales $180 million, partially offset by lower average sales prices, which decreased sales $145 million. Sales prices for many of Seaboard’s products are directly affected by both domestic and worldwide supply and demand for commodities and competing products, all of which are determined by constantly changing market forces.

Current wording

Net sales increased for the three- and six-month periods of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher volumes of commodities sold, which increased sales $321 million and $502 million, respectively, partially offset by lower average sales prices, which decreased sales $109 million and $255 million, respectively. Sales prices for many of Seaboard’s products are directly affected by both domestic and worldwide supply and demand for commodities and competing products, all of which are determined by constantly changing market forces.

Previous wording

Operating income increased for the three-month period of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase of $38 million in mark-to-market gains on derivative contracts, partially offset by lower margins on certain commodities sold. While management anticipates positive operating income, excluding the effects of mark-to-market adjustments, for this segment for the remainder of 2025, it is difficult to predict worldwide commodity price fluctuations and the uncertain political and economic conditions in the countries in which this segment operates.

Current wording

Operating income decreased for the three-month period of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase of $20 million in mark-to-market losses on derivative contracts, which continue to fluctuate until final delivery of product. Operating income decreased for the six-month period primarily due to lower margins on certain commodities sold, partially offset by a decrease of $18 million in mark-to-market losses on derivative contracts. While management anticipates positive operating income, excluding the effects of mark-to-market adjustments, for this segment for the remainder of 2025, no assurances can be made as it is difficult to predict worldwide commodity price fluctuations and the uncertain political and economic conditions in the countries in which this segment operates.

Previous wording

The increase in operating income for the three-month period of 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily the result of higher voyage revenue, partially offset by higher voyage-related costs, such as stevedoring costs primarily due to higher cargo volumes. Many of this segment’s costs are variable in nature and the overall expense amounts will fluctuate as volumes increase or decrease. While management anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2025, it is difficult to predict changes in fuel costs or other voyage costs, cargo volumes or cargo rates for future periods. In April 2025, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) issued a Notice of Action finalizing fees for Chinese-built vessels and Chinese-owned and operated ships for U.S. port calls. Due to certain fee exemptions, including an exemption based on vessel capacity, management believes the Notice of Action will not have any material adverse impact on the Marine segment’s results. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion of USTR’s Notice of Action.

Current wording

The increase in operating income for the three- and six-month periods of 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily the result of higher voyage revenue, partially offset by higher voyage-related costs, such as stevedoring and slot costs which are primarily driven by higher cargo volumes. Many of this segment’s costs are variable in nature and the overall expense amounts will fluctuate as volumes increase or decrease. While management anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2025, no assurances can be made as it is difficult to predict changes in cargo volumes, cargo rates, fuel costs or other voyage costs for future periods.

Previous wording

The increase in net sales for the three-month period of 2025 compared to 2024 reflected an increase in the price and volume of fuel sold of $20 million and $19 million, respectively. Fuel production increased due to consistent production at the renewable diesel plant during the first quarter of 2025 compared to no operations during the first quarter of 2024 due to repairs and maintenance. Environmental credits sold increased sales $25 million due to higher volumes of credits, partially offset by decreases in credit prices reducing sales $11 million. Also, sales decreased $19 million related to federal blender’s credits received in the first quarter of 2024 compared to none in 2025. With the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the federal blender’s credit expired December 31, 2024 and was replaced by a new clean fuel production tax credit that is recorded as a reduction to cost of sales.

Current wording

The increase in net sales for the three- and six-month periods of 2025 compared to 2024 was driven by increases in fuel and environmental credit sales. More volumes of fuel sold increased sales $19 million and $39 million, and higher fuel prices increased sales $13 million and $32 million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively. Higher volumes primarily reflect increased renewable diesel sales as the renewable diesel plant was not operational for approximately four months during the first half of 2024 due to repairs as compared to regularly scheduled maintenance performed during June 2025. Higher sales prices and more volumes of environmental credits sold increased sales $14 million and $9 million, respectively for the three-month period. Environmental credit sales increased during the six-month period primarily due to more volumes sold which increased sales $37 million. These increases were partially offset by federal blender’s credits received of $28 million and $47 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 29, 2024, respectively compared to none in 2025. With the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the federal blender’s credit expired

Previous wording

The decrease in operating loss for the three-month period of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily reflected an increase in sales, partially offset by higher costs associated with more production and, to a lesser extent, less income received on production tax credits as compared to the federal blender’s credits. The production tax credit value varies based on the greenhouse gas emissions factor of fuel produced and the value is less than the federal blender’s credit on a per-gallon basis. While management anticipates this segment will be near break-even for the remainder of 2025, it is difficult to predict market prices for biodiesel, renewable diesel, environmental credits, production tax credits or the cost of feedstocks for future periods. This segment’s renewable diesel plant is expected to undergo regularly scheduled maintenance in the second quarter of 2025 and anticipates no production for approximately one month.

Current wording

The decrease in operating loss for the three-month period of 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to increased sales offset by increased production costs, including higher feedstock costs. The decrease in operating loss for the six-month period of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily reflected more consistent production, partially offset by less income received on production tax credits as compared to the federal blender’s credits. The production tax credit value varies based on the greenhouse gas emissions factor of fuel produced and the value is less than the federal blender’s credit on a per-gallon basis. While management anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2025, no assurances can be made as it is difficult to predict market prices for biodiesel, renewable diesel, environmental credits, production tax credits, the cost of feedstock, or production levels for future periods.

Previous wording

Operating income remained flat for the three-month period of 2025 compared to 2024, as the increase in net sales was offset by higher fuel costs due to an increase in volumes. While management anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2025, it is difficult to predict fuel costs or the extent that spot market rates will fluctuate compared to fuel costs or other power producers for future periods.

Current wording

Operating income decreased for the three- and six-month periods of 2025 compared to 2024 driven by lower or flat net sales and higher fuel costs due to increases in heavy fuel consumption, which is more expensive than natural gas. While management anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2025, no assurances can be made as it is difficult to predict fuel costs or the extent that spot market rates will fluctuate due to fuel costs or other power producers for future periods. While EDM II remains in operation in the Dominican Republic, Seaboard continues to explore strategic alternatives for this barge, including a sale or relocation.

Previous wording

The Turkey segment represents Seaboard’s non-controlling 52.5% investment in Butterball, LLC (“Butterball”) which is accounted for using the equity method. The decrease in Butterball’s net income was primarily the result of a 9% increase in production and plant costs due to bird health issues. Sales were relatively flat with increased volumes being offset by a decrease in selling prices. Turkey commodity markets continued to strengthen through the quarter. During the first quarter of 2025, Butterball closed a further-processing plant in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The closure did not have a material impact on results during the first quarter of 2025, and it is not anticipated to have a material impact on future results. While management anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2025, it is difficult to predict market prices for turkey products or the cost of feed for future periods.

Current wording

The Turkey segment represents Seaboard’s non-controlling 52.5% investment in Butterball, LLC (“Butterball”) which is accounted for using the equity method. The increase in Butterball’s net income of $17 million for the three-month period of 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily the result of increased volumes of turkey products sold of 11% partially offset by higher production costs of 6% associated with more volumes sold. Net income remained relatively flat for the six-month period of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by 7% higher production costs due to bird health issues combined with increased sales volumes of 8%. Sales prices were not materially different from prior periods. While management anticipates this segment will be profitable for the remainder of 2025, no assurances can be made as it is difficult to predict market prices for turkey products or the cost of production for future periods.
