BUNGE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION, PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bunge Limited (“Bunge” or the "Company"), its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which Bunge is considered to be the primary beneficiary, and as a result, include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all entities over which Bunge has a controlling financial interest. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from Bunge’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, forming part of Bunge’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020.
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company changed its segment reporting to separately disclose Corporate and Other activities from its reporting segments, as further described in Note 20 - Segment Information. Corresponding prior period amounts have been restated to conform to current period classification.
Effective July 1, 2020, the Company changed it's reporting of cash proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt with maturities of 90 days or less to separately present such cash proceeds and repayments in its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Prior to July 1, 2020, the Company presented cash proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt with maturities of 90 days or less on a net basis. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

    Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
    Restricted cash is included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

2.    ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
    The below outlines new accounting pronouncements issued in 2020 and provides updates on certain previously disclosed Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs").
9

Table of Contents
    New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation and requires enhanced disclosures about the terms of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

    In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)- Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance is effective upon issuance and is to be applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company continues to evaluate the impacts of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

    In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)- Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which reduces complexity in the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge's condensed consolidated financial statements.
    Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2020 the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which introduces a new accounting model, referred to as the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model, for estimating credit losses on certain financial instruments and expands the disclosure requirements for estimating such credit losses. Under the new model, an entity is required to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The guidance also amends the current impairment model for debt securities classified as available-for-sale. The Company adopted the guidance under a modified-retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on Bunge's condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.    PORTFOLIO RATIONALIZATION INITIATIVES
Brazilian Margarine and Mayonnaise Disposition
On December 20, 2019, Bunge announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell its margarine and mayonnaise assets in Brazil. The transaction includes three production plants and certain related brands. The completion of the sale is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020. In connection with this agreement, the Company has classified the assets and liabilities to be sold, which are reported under the Edible Oil Products segment, as held for sale in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The following table presents the disposal group's major classes of assets and liabilities included in Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

4.     LEASES
    The Company routinely leases storage facilities, transportation equipment, land, and office facilities that are typically classified as operating leases. The accounting for some of the Company's leases may require significant judgment when determining whether a contract is or contains a lease, the lease term, and the likelihood of renewal or termination options. Leases with an initial term of more than 12 months are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets (Operating lease assets) and lease liabilities for the obligation to make payments under such leases (Current operating lease obligations and Non-current operating lease obligations). As of the lease commencement date, the lease liability is initially measured as the present value of lease payments not yet paid. The lease asset is initially measured equal to the lease liability and adjusted for lease payments made at or before lease commencement (e.g., prepaid rent), lease incentives, and any initial direct costs. Over time, the lease liability is reduced for lease payments made and the lease asset is reduced through expense, classified as either Cost of goods sold or Selling, general and administrative expenses, depending upon the nature of the lease. Lease assets are subject to review for impairment in a manner consistent with Property, plant and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet, and lease expense for these short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
    The Company’s leases range in length of term, with an average remaining lease term of 5.2 years, but with one water rights lease continuing for up to 91 years. Renewal options are generally exercisable solely at the Company’s discretion. When
11

Table of Contents
a renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised, such additional terms are considered when calculating the associated operating lease asset and liability. When determining the lease liability at commencement of the lease, the present value of lease payments is based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate determined using a portfolio approach and the Company’s incremental cost of debt, adjusted to arrive at the rate in the applicable country and for the applicable term of the lease, as the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable. As of September 30, 2020, this weighted average discount rate was 4.2%.
    Certain of the Company’s freight supply agreements for ocean freight vessels and rail cars may include rental payments that are variable in nature. Variable payments on time charter agreements for ocean freight vessels under freight supply agreements are dependent on then-current market daily hire rates. Variable payments for certain rail cars can be based on volumes, and in some cases, benchmark interest rates. All such variable payments are not included in the calculation of the associated operating lease asset or liability subsequent to the inception date of the associated lease and are recorded as expense in the period in which the adjustment to the variable payment obligation is incurred. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements related to railcars and barges contain residual value guarantees (see Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies). None of the Company’s lease agreements contain material restrictive covenants.

terms of approximately two years. Additionally, from time to time the Company may enter into re-let agreements to sell the right to use ocean freight vessels under time charter agreements when excess capacity is available.

    As of September 30, 2020, the Company has additional operating leases for freight supply agreements on ocean freight vessels that have not yet commenced of $29 million. These operating leases will commence in 2020 with lease terms of up to seven years.

5.    TRADE STRUCTURED FINANCE PROGRAM
    The Company engages in various trade structured finance activities to leverage the value of its global trade flows. These activities include programs under which the Company generally obtains U.S. dollar-denominated letters of credit (“LCs”), each based on an underlying commodity trade flow, from financial institutions and time deposits denominated in either the local currency of the financial institutions' counterparties or in U.S. dollars, as well as foreign exchange forward contracts, and other programs in which trade related payables are set-off against receivables, all of which are subject to legally enforceable set-off agreements.
            As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, time deposits and LCs of $5,034 million and $3,409 million, respectively, are presented net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the criteria of ASC 210-20, Offsetting, have been met. The net losses and gains related to such activities are included as an adjustment to Cost of goods sold in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, time deposits, including those presented on a net basis, carried weighted-average interest rates of 2.08% and 3.10%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, total net proceeds from issuances of LCs were $3,839 million and $2,281 million, respectively. These cash inflows are offset by the related cash outflows resulting from placement of the time deposits and repayment of the LCs. All cash flows related to the programs are included in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

6.    TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION PROGRAM
Trade Accounts Receivable
    Bunge establishes an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses utilizing an aging schedule for each pool of trade accounts receivable. The risk characteristics for each individual receivable were homogenous across the pool of trade accounts receivable and the determination of pools was sufficiently granular to address any differences in risk characteristics. Any receivables that did not share similar risk characteristics were separated into different pools for further analysis. Pools are determined based on risk characteristics such as the type of customer and geography. A default rate is derived using a provision matrix with data based on Bunge's historical receivables information. The default rate is then applied to the pool to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. Given the short term nature of the Company's trade accounts receivable, the default rate is only adjusted if significant changes in the credit profile of the portfolio are identified (e.g., poor crop years, credit issues at the country level, systematic risk), resulting in historic loss rates that are not representative of forecasted losses. Specifically, in establishing appropriate default rates as of September 30, 2020, the Company took into consideration expected impacts on its customers and other debtors in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other factors, which did not result in a material impact on the financial statements.

    Bunge records and reports accrued interest receivable within the same line item as the related receivable. The allowance for expected credit losses is estimated on the amortized cost basis of the trade accounts receivable, including accrued interest receivable. Bunge recognizes credit loss expense when establishing an allowance for accrued interest receivable.

Changes to the allowance for lifetime expected credit losses related to trade accounts receivable are as follows:

(2) In addition to the above mentioned current period provisions associated with lifetime expected credit losses, in 2020 the Company was engaged in collection proceedings with a customer in relation to an outstanding account receivable dating from 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Bunge recorded a $51 million bad debt reserve, within Selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as a $15 million legal provision, within Other income (expense) – net, in its condensed consolidated statement of income in relation to the matter. There was no impact to the condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended September 30, 2020. As the litigation is ongoing, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimated amount of the loss will change in the near term.

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 that provides for funding of receivables sold into the Program.

7.    INVENTORIES
Inventories by segment are presented below. Readily marketable inventories (“RMI”) are agricultural commodity inventories, such as soybeans, soybean meal, soybean oil, corn, and wheat carried at fair value because of their commodity characteristics, widely available markets, and international pricing mechanisms. The Company engages in trading and distribution, or merchandising activities, and part of RMI can be attributable to such activities and is not held for processing. All other inventories are carried at lower of cost or net realizable value.

Recoverable taxes, net - Recoverable taxes are reported net of allowances of $29 million and $41 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Judicial deposits - Judicial deposits are funds the Company has placed on deposit with the courts in Brazil. These funds are held in judicial escrow relating to certain legal proceedings pending resolution and bear interest at the Selic rate, which is the benchmark rate of the Brazilian central bank.
Income taxes receivable - Income taxes receivable includes overpayments of current income taxes plus accrued interest. These income tax prepayments are expected to be primarily utilized for settlement of future income tax obligations. Income taxes receivable in Brazil bear interest at the Selic rate.
Affiliate loans receivable - Affiliate loans receivable are primarily interest-bearing receivables from unconsolidated affiliates with a remaining maturity of greater than one year.
Long-term receivables from farmers in Brazil, net - 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 contracts or secured advances to suppliers (see Note 8 - Other Current Assets) and reclassified to other non-current assets when collection issues arise and amounts become past due with resolution of such matters expected to take more than one year.

10.    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 projecting a loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized are treated discretely in the interim period in which they occur. The effective tax rate is highly dependent on the geographic distribution of the 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. Volatility in earnings within a taxing jurisdiction could result in a determination that additional valuation allowance adjustments may be warranted.
    Income tax expense was $38 million and $151 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Income tax benefit was $28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and income tax expense was $70 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 benefited primarily from the release of valuation allowances in Europe and Asia. Income tax expense was lower for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to an overall pre-tax loss during each period. The effective tax rate for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was adversely impacted primarily by non-deductible currency losses associated with the classification of the Company’s Brazilian sugar and bioenergy business as held for sale.

Table of Contents
As a global enterprise, the 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 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.

12.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
    Bunge's various financial instruments include certain components of working capital such as trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. Additionally, Bunge uses short and long-term debt to fund operating requirements. Trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and short-term debt are stated at their carrying value, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value. See Note 5 - Trade Structured Finance Program for trade structured finance program, Note 9 - Other Non-Current Assets for long-term receivables from farmers in Brazil, net and other long-term investments, and Note 14 - Debt for long-term debt. Bunge's financial instruments also include derivative instruments and marketable securities, which are stated at fair value.
    The fair 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 market).

Readily marketable inventories.

Over-the-counter (‘‘OTC’’) commodity purchase and sale 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 the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level of input that is a significant component of the fair value measurement determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the

fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of fair value assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.
    For a further definition of fair value and the associated fair value levels, refer to Note 15 - Fair Value Measurements, included in the Company's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
    The following table sets forth, by level, the Company’s assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

(2)     These receivables are hybrid financial instruments for which Bunge has elected the fair value option.
(3)     Unrealized gains on derivative contracts are generally included in Other current assets. There were $108 million and $39 million included in Other non-current assets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were $55 million and zero, respectively, included in Assets held for sale.
(4)    Other includes the fair values of marketable securities and investments in Other current assets and Other non-current assets.
(5)    These payables are hybrid financial instruments for which the Company has elected the fair value option. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were $43 million and zero, respectively, included in Liabilities held for sale.
(6)    Unrealized losses on derivative contracts are generally included in Other current liabilities. There are $20 million and $1 million included in Other non-current liabilities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were $2 million and zero, respectively, included in Liabilities held for sale.
    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
19

Table of Contents
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 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.
    Derivatives—The 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. The 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 sale contracts are classified as derivatives along with other OTC derivative instruments relating primarily to freight, energy, foreign exchange and interest rates, and are classified within Level 2 or Level 3 as described below. The 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 generally fair valued 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.
    Level 3 Measurements
    The following relates to Level 3 measurements. An instrument may transfer into or out of Level 3 due to inputs becoming either observable or unobservable.
    Level 3 Readily marketable inventories and other—The significant unobservable inputs resulting in Level 3 classification for RMI, physically settled forward purchase and sale contracts, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable, 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, the Company uses proprietary information such as purchase and sale contracts and contracted prices to value freight, premiums and discounts in its contracts. Movements in the prices of these unobservable inputs alone would not have a material effect on the 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.
    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, 2020 and 2019. These instruments were valued using pricing models that management believes reflect the assumptions that would be used by a marketplace participant.

13.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
    The 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 impact the financial 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, 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 an increase in the fair value of the derivative will be substantially offset by the earnings effect of the increase in the carrying value of the hedged debt. The net impact of fair value hedge accounting for interest rate swaps is 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 purchases, sales, and selling, general and administrative expenses with currency forwards. The change in the value 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 2021. Of the amount currently in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $(3) 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 and intercompany loans 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.
    The table below provides information about the balance sheet 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 of these instruments is primarily presented in Interest expense.
    Currency derivatives are used to hedge the balance sheet and commercial exposures that arise from the Company's global operations. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold when hedging commercial exposures and Foreign exchange gains (losses) when hedging monetary exposures.
    Agricultural commodity derivatives are used primarily to manage the Company's inventory and forward purchase and 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.
    The Company uses derivative instruments referred to as forward freight agreements ("FFA") and FFA options to hedge portions of its current and anticipated ocean freight costs. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold.
    The Company uses energy derivative instruments to manage its exposure to volatility in energy costs. Hedges may be entered into for natural gas, electricity, coal and fuel oil, including bunker fuel. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold.
    The Company may also enter into other derivatives, including credit default swaps and equity derivatives to manage exposure to credit risk and broader macroeconomic risks, respectively. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold.

14.    DEBT
Bunge’s commercial paper program is supported by an identical amount of committed back-up bank credit lines (the “Liquidity Facility”) provided by banks that are rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services and P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service. The cost of borrowing under the Liquidity Facility would typically be higher than the cost of issuing under Bunge’s commercial paper program. At September 30, 2020, there were $398 million of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and no borrowings under the Liquidity Facility, and at December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and no borrowings outstanding under the Liquidity Facility.
On August 17, 2020, Bunge completed the sale and issuance of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 1.630% unsecured senior notes (“Notes”) due August 17, 2025. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Bunge. The offering was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-231083) filed by the Company and its 100% owned finance subsidiary Bunge Limited Finance Corp. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in February and August of each year, commencing on February 17, 2021. At any time prior to July 17, 2025 (one month before maturity of the Notes), the Company may elect to redeem and repay the Notes, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on the redemption date. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $595 million after deducting underwriting commissions, the original issue discount and offering fees and expense payable by Bunge. Bunge used the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of certain short-term debt that included borrowings under the commercial paper program.
At September 30, 2020, Bunge had $3,617 million of unused and available borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities totaling $4,315 million with a number of lending institutions. At December 31, 2019, Bunge had $4,315 million of unused and available borrowing capacity under its committed long-term credit facilities with a number of lending institutions.
In addition to committed facilities, from time to time, Bunge Limited and/or its financing subsidiaries enter into uncommitted bilateral short-term credit lines as necessary based on its financing requirements. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 there were $217 million and no borrowings, respectively, outstanding under these bilateral short-term credit lines. Loans under such credit lines are non-callable by the respective lenders. In addition, Bunge's operating companies had $695 million and $771 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under local bank lines of credit at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, to support working capital requirements.
    The fair value of Bunge’s long-term debt is based on interest rates currently available on comparable maturities to companies with credit standing similar to that of Bunge. The carrying amounts and fair value of long-term debt are as follows:

15.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    Bunge purchases agricultural commodity products from certain of its unconsolidated investees and other related parties. Such related party purchases comprised less than 6% of total Cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Bunge also sells agricultural commodity products to certain of its unconsolidated investees and other related parties. Such related party sales comprised less than 2% of total Net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
    In addition, Bunge receives services from and provides services to its unconsolidated investees, including tolling, port handling, administrative support, and other services. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, such services were not material to the Company's consolidated results.
    At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, receivables and payables related to the above related party transactions, respectively included in Trade accounts receivable and Trade accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, were not material.
    Bunge believes all transaction values to be similar to those that would be conducted with third parties.

16.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Bunge is party to claims and lawsuits, primarily non-income tax and labor claims in South America, arising in the normal course of business. Bunge is also involved from time to time in various contract, antitrust, environmental litigation and remediation and other litigation, claims, government investigations and legal proceedings. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. Bunge records liabilities related to legal matters when the exposure item becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. Bunge management does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on Bunge’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and there exists the remote possibility that a liability arising from these matters could have a material adverse impact in the period the uncertainties are resolved should the liability substantially exceed the amount of provisions included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Information regarding the claims appears in Bunge’s Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Included in Other non-current liabilities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are the following amounts related to these matters:

Non-income tax claims$19 $23 
Labor claims47 50 
Civil and other claims74 88 
Total$140 $161 
Brazil Indirect Taxes
Non-income tax claims - These tax claims relate to ongoing claims against Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries, primarily value-added tax claims (ICMS, ISS, IPI and PIS/COFINS). Bunge expects to pay 38 million Brazilian reais (approximately $7 million) in 2020 or 2021 to settle a portion of its outstanding liabilities in amnesty programs in certain Brazilian states regarding certain tax credits.
    As of September 30, 2020, the Brazilian federal and state authorities have concluded examinations of the ICMS and PIS COFINS tax returns and have issued outstanding claims. The Company continues to evaluate the merits of each of these claims and will recognize them when loss is considered probable. The outstanding claims comprise the following:
(US$ in millions)Years ExaminedSeptember 30, 2020December 31, 2019
ICMS1990 to Present$162 $221 
PIS/COFINS2004 through 2016$191 $268 
    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 ("CADE") 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. This proceeding was put on hold due to a court injunction obtained by one of the defendants in a case related to the application of the statute of limitations. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2018, Bunge received a notification from CADE that it has extended the scope of an existing administrative proceeding relating to alleged anticompetitive practices in the Rio Grande port in Brazil to include certain of Bunge's Brazilian subsidiaries and certain former employees of those subsidiaries. Bunge is defending against these administrative proceedings and, in case it is unsuccessful, the proceedings can be further litigated in the judicial courts. Therefore, Bunge cannot at this time reasonably predict the ultimate outcome of the cases or sanctions, if any, that may be imposed.
Refer to Note 6 - Trade Accounts Receivable and Trade Receivable Securitization Program for additional information regarding contingencies in relation to outstanding customer claims at the balance sheet date.

(1)    Bunge has issued financial and performance guarantees to certain financial institutions related to debt of certain of its unconsolidated affiliates. The terms of the guarantees are equal to the terms of the related financings that have maturity dates through 2034. There are no recourse provisions or collateral that would enable Bunge to recover any amounts paid under these guarantees. In addition, certain Bunge subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations of certain of their affiliates and in connection therewith have secured their guarantee obligations through a pledge of certain of their affiliate's shares plus loans receivable from the affiliates to the financial institutions in the event that the guaranteed obligations are enforced. Based on the amounts drawn under such debt facilities at September 30, 2020, Bunge's potential liability was $218 million, and it has recorded a $13 million obligation related to these guarantees, inclusive of expected lifetime credit losses, which are determined based on historical financial information and are not expected to be material.
(2)    As of September 30, 2020, Bunge has issued guarantees to certain third parties related to performance of its unconsolidated affiliates. The terms of the guarantees are equal to the completion date of a port terminal that was substantially complete at September 30, 2020. There are no recourse provisions or collateral that would enable Bunge to recover any amounts paid under these guarantees. At September 30, 2020, Bunge's maximum potential future payments under these guarantees was $37 million, and no obligation has been recorded related to these guarantees.
(3)    Bunge has issued guarantees to certain financial institutions that are party to certain operating lease arrangements for railcars, barges, and buildings. These guarantees provide for a minimum residual value to be received by the lessor at the conclusion of the lease term. These leases expire at various dates from 2020 through 2026. At September 30, 2020, no obligation has been recorded related to these guarantees. Any obligation recorded would be recognized in Current operating lease obligations or Non-current operating lease obligations (see Note 4 - Leases).
Bunge Limited has provided a guarantee to the Director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture as Trustee for Bunge North America, Inc. (“BNA”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, which guarantees all amounts due and owing by BNA to grain producers and/or depositors in the State of Illinois who have delivered commodities to BNA’s Illinois facilities.
In addition, Bunge Limited has provided full and unconditional parent level guarantees of the outstanding indebtedness under certain credit facilities entered into, and senior notes issued, by its 100% owned subsidiaries. At September 30, 2020, Bunge’s condensed consolidated balance sheet includes debt with a carrying amount of $6,121 million related to these guarantees. This debt includes the senior notes issued by two of Bunge’s 100% owned finance subsidiaries, Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe, B.V. There are largely no restrictions on the ability of Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe B.V. or any other Bunge subsidiary to transfer funds to Bunge Limited.

17.    REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
    In connection with the acquisition of a 70% ownership interest in IOI Loders Croklaan ("Loders"), the Company has entered into a put/call arrangement with the Loders minority shareholder and may be required or elect to purchase the additional 30% ownership interest in Loders within a specified time frame.
    The Company classifies these redeemable equity securities outside of permanent stockholders’ equity as the equity securities are redeemable at the option of the holder. The carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests is the greater of: (i) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interests’ share of net income or loss, equity capital contributions and distributions or (ii) the redemption value. Any resulting increases in the redemption amount, in excess of the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interests’ share of net income or loss and distributions, are affected by corresponding charges against Retained earnings. Additionally, any such charges to Retained earnings will affect Net income (loss) available to Bunge common shareholders as part of the Company's calculation of earnings per common share.

20.    SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's operations are organized, managed and classified into five reportable segments - Agribusiness, Edible Oil Products, Milling Products, Sugar and Bioenergy, and Fertilizer, based upon their similar economic characteristics, products and services offered, production processes, types and classes of customer, and distribution methods.
The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Corporate and Other. See Note 1 - Basis of Presentation, Principles of Consolidation, And Significant Accounting Policies.
The Agribusiness segment is characterized by both inputs and outputs being agricultural commodities and thus high volume and low margin. The Edible Oil Products segment involves the processing, production and marketing of products derived from vegetable oils. The Milling Products segment involves the processing, production and marketing of products derived primarily from wheat and corn. The Sugar & Bioenergy segment primarily comprises the net earnings in the Company’s 50% interest in BP Bunge Bioenergia, a joint venture formed in December 2019 through the combination of the Company’s Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations, together with the Brazilian biofuels business of BP p.l.c. (“BP”). Prior to December 2019, the Company’s Sugar and Bioenergy results reflect its 100% ownership interest in the Brazilian sugarcane growing and milling, and sugarcane-based ethanol production activities contributed to the joint venture. The activities of the Fertilizer segment include port operations in Brazil and Argentina, and blending and retail operations in Argentina.
Corporate and Other includes salaries and overhead for corporate functions that are not allocated to the Company’s individual reporting segments because the operating performance of each reporting segment is evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision maker exclusive of these items, as well as certain other activities including Bunge Ventures, the Company's captive insurance, and securitization activities.
Transfers between the segments are generally valued at market. The segment revenues generated from these transfers are shown in the following table as “Inter-segment revenues.”

(1)     Include noncontrolling interests' share of interest and tax to reconcile to consolidated Noncontrolling interests.
(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 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) attributable to Bunge in the table below.

21.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
On July 17, 2020 the Company approved a one-time lump sum offering to certain participants in Bunge's defined benefit U.S. Pension Plan who have separated from the Company as of December 31, 2019 and whose benefits in the plan have fully vested. The participants have until November 9, 2020 to accept the offer, following which the respective payments will be completed by December 31, 2020. The total amount of payments, which will be paid from plan assets as settlement of respective benefit obligations, will depend upon the number of participants that accept the offer. However, the maximum payout is $144 million. The payment is not expected to materially impact the net funding status of the plan nor result in any material gain or loss to the Company.
On July 24, 2020 the Company made a one-time cash contribution payment to its defined benefit pension plans of $65 million, in addition to the $19 million expected contributions for the year ending December 31, 2020 previously disclosed in the Company's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 21, 2020.

22.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 22, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured $1,250 million 364-day Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders. The Credit Agreement includes a $1,000 million tranche (“Tranche A”) and a $250 million tranche (“Tranche B”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Each lender under Tranche A is required to fund all borrowing requests delivered by Bunge unless such lender has delivered a declining lender notice to the administrative agent by 9.00am (New York City time) on the date such borrowing request is delivered. The lenders under Tranche B do not have the right to deliver a declining lender notice to Bunge. Bunge may also, from time to time, request one or more of the existing or new lenders to increase the total participations and commitments under Tranche A and Tranche B of the Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount up to $250 million pursuant to an accordion provision The Credit Agreement matures on October 21, 2021.
On October 8, 2020, the Company was notified that the Brazilian Federal Court (the “Court”) ruled in favor of the Company in a case against Brazilian tax authorities regarding the computation of certain indirect (non-income) taxes receivable, dating from 2009 to present. Upon finalization of amounts receivable by the Company with the Brazilian tax authorities, the timing of which is unclear, the Company will recognize a gain, including the related interest receivable, in its consolidated statement of income (loss).

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
Total segment earnings before interest and taxes (“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 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 our Corporate and Other activities. Core Segment EBIT is the aggregate of the earnings before interest and taxes of each of Bunge’s Agribusiness, Edible Oil Products, Milling Products, and Fertilizer segments. Non-Core Segment EBIT is the earnings before interest and taxes of Bunge’s Sugar & Bioenergy segment. Total Segment EBIT is the aggregate of the earnings before interest and taxes of Bunge’s Core and Non-Core reportable segments, together with its corporate and other activities. Bunge’s management believes Core Segment EBIT, Non-Core Segment EBIT and Total Segment EBIT are useful measures of operating profitability, since the measures allow for an evaluation of the performance of its segments without regard to 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 Net 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. 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 Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, to Total Segment EBIT below.
Executive Summary
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Bunge - For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net income attributable to Bunge was $262 million, an increase of $1,750 million compared to a net loss attributable to Bunge of $1,488 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net income attributable to Bunge was $594 million, an increase of $1,823 million, compared to a net loss attributable to Bunge of $1,229 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increases for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 are due to higher Segment EBIT in our Core and Non-Core segments, as further discussed in the Segment Overview & Results of Operations section below.
Earnings Per Common Share - Diluted - For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net income attributable to Bunge common shareholders, diluted, was $1.84 per share, an increase of $12.41 per share, compared to a loss of $10.57 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net income attributable to Bunge common shareholders, diluted, was $3.98 per share, an increase of $12.85 per share, compared to a loss of $8.87 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
EBIT - For the three months ended September 30, 2020, Total Segment EBIT was $351 million, an increase of $1,791 million compared to EBIT of $(1,440) million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, EBIT was $919 million, an increase of $1,854 million compared to EBIT of $(935) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increases in Total Segment EBIT for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 were due to higher Segment EBIT in our Core and Non-Core segments, as further discussed in the Segment Overview & Results of Operations section below.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit - Income tax expense was $38 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to income tax benefit of $28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Income tax expense was $151 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $70 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in income tax expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to higher pretax income, associated with higher Total Segment EBIT, as noted above.

Liquidity and capital resources – At September 30, 2020, working capital, which equals total current assets less total current liabilities, was $4,569 million, an increase of $1,112 million, compared to working capital of $3,457 million at September 30, 2019, and an increase of $916 million compared to working capital of $3,653 million at December 31, 2019. The increases in working capital are primarily due to increased RMI purchases associated with strong farmer selling activity in Brazil during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as well as higher commodity prices at September 30, 2020.
Segment Overview & Results of Operations
Our operations are organized, managed and classified into five reportable segments based upon their similar economic characteristics, nature of products and services offered, production processes, types and classes of customer, and distribution methods.
We further organize these reportable segments into Core operations and Non-core operations. Core operations comprise our Agribusiness, Edible Oil Products, Milling Products, and Fertilizer segments.
Non core operations comprise our Sugar & Bioenergy segment, which itself primarily comprises our 50% interest in BP Bunge Bioenergia, a joint venture formed with BP p.l.c. (“BP”) in December 2019 by the combination of the our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations with the Brazilian biofuels business of BP. Therefore, our reported Sugar and Bioenergy results for 2020 include our share of the net earnings in BP Bunge Bioenergia (the Joint Venture), whereas our Sugar and Bioenergy results for 2019 reflect our former 100% ownership interest in the Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations contributed to the Joint Venture.
Our remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Corporate and Other. Effective January 1, 2020, we changed our segment reporting to separately disclose Corporate and Other activities from our reporting segments, as further described in Note 20 - Segment Information. Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts within the reporting segments have been made to conform to current presentation.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
Agribusiness segment net sales increased by $100 million, or 1%, to $7,108 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $7,008 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The net increase was primarily due to the following:
In Oilseeds, Net sales increased $349 million due to higher soybean complex sales volumes and prices, primarily in China and Brazil, and higher overall softseed sales volumes and prices in Europe and Canada.
In Grains, Net sales decreased $249 million due to lower sales volumes from our origination business.
Cost of goods sold decreased by $6 million, or approximately zero percent, to $6,753 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $6,759 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The net decrease was primarily due to the following:
In Oilseeds, Cost of goods sold increased by $289 million due to higher sales volumes and unfavorable mark-to-market results in our oilseed processing and distribution businesses, partially offset by favorable translation impacts on industrial costs, primarily in South America, as the Brazilian real and Argentine peso depreciated versus the U.S. dollar during the quarter, and approximately $68 million of non-recurring prior year PP&E impairment charges at various facilities associated with portfolio rationalization initiatives.
In Grains, Cost of goods sold decreased by $295 million due to the decrease in net sales volumes noted above, favorable translation impacts on industrial costs, primarily in South America, as the Brazilian real and Argentine peso depreciated versus the U.S. dollar during the quarter, and approximately $24 million of non-recurring prior year PP&E impairment charges at various facilities associated with portfolio rationalization initiatives.
Gross profit increased by $106 million, or 43%, to $355 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $249 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The net increase was primarily due to the following:
In Oilseeds, an increase of $60 million was due to higher net sales in excess of cost of goods sold, as described above.
In Grains, an increase of $46 million was due to lower cost of goods sold, which more than offset lower net sales, as described above.
SG&A expenses increased $34 million, or 30%, to $147 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $113 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was mainly due to higher variable incentive costs, partially offset by favorable translation impacts as the Brazilian real and Argentine peso depreciated versus

the U.S. dollar during the quarter, and an $11 million prior year write-off of an indemnification asset associated with the reversal of an uncertain tax position.
Foreign exchange results increased $116 million, to a gain of $59 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a loss of $57 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Foreign exchange results were primarily driven by gains on U.S. dollar denominated loans receivable in non-U.S. functional currency operations.
Segment EBIT increased $192 million, or 179%, to $299 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $107 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The net increase was primarily due to the following:
In Oilseeds, an increase of $161 million was primarily due to higher Gross profit and increased foreign exchange results, partially offset by higher SG&A, as described above.
In Grains, an increase of $31 million was primarily due to higher Gross profit and increased foreign exchange results, partially offset by higher SG&A, as described above.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Agribusiness segment net sales decreased by $748 million, or 4%, to $20,247 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $20,995 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The net decrease was primarily due to the following:
In Oilseeds, Net sales increased $255 million due to higher soybean complex sales volumes and prices, primarily in China and Brazil, and higher overall softseed sales volumes and prices in Europe and Canada. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volumes in our oilseed trading and distribution businesses, in part due to COVID-19.
In Grains, Net sales decreased $1,003 million due to lower sales volumes and prices in our grain trading and distribution businesses, and lower sales prices in our grain origination business, partially offset by higher sales volumes in our grain origination business, primarily in South America.
Cost of goods sold decreased by $1,186 million, or 6%, to $19,018 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $20,204 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The net decrease was primarily due to the following:
In Oilseeds, Cost of goods sold increased $80 million due to higher sales volumes and unfavorable mark-to-market results in our oilseed processing and distribution businesses, partially offset by favorable translation impacts on industrial costs, as most currencies in which such expenses are denominated depreciated versus the U.S. dollar during the year, and approximately $77 million of non-recurring prior year PP&E impairment charges at various facilities associated with portfolio rationalization initiatives.
In Grains, Cost of goods sold decreased $1,266 million due to the decrease in net sales noted above, favorable translation impacts on industrial costs, as most currencies in which such expenses are denominated depreciated versus the U.S. dollar during the year, and approximately $25 million of non-recurring prior year PP&E impairment charges at various facilities associated with portfolio rationalization initiatives, partially offset by unfavorable mark-to-market results in our ocean freight business.
Gross profit increased by $438 million, or 55%, to $1,229 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $791 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The net increase was primarily due to the following:
In Oilseeds, an increase of $175 million was due to higher Net sales in excess of the increase in Cost of goods sold, as described above.
In Grains, an increase of $263 million was due to lower Cost of goods sold, which more than offset lower Net sales, as described above.
SG&A increased by $16 million, or 5%, to $367 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $351 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was mainly due to higher variable incentive costs, partially offset by savings associated with ongoing cost initiatives, lower expenses due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, favorable translation impacts, as most currencies in which SG&A expenses are denominated depreciated

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
Sugar and Bioenergy segment Net sales decreased $333 million, or 87%, to $48 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $381 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the contribution of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations, comprising the majority of our Sugar and Bioenergy segment, into the Joint Venture during the fourth quarter of 2019. Remaining sales comprise corn-based ethanol distribution activities in North America.
Cost of goods sold decreased $1,793 million, or 98%, to $43 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1,836 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to a significant non-recurring prior year impairment charge in the third quarter of 2019, in addition to the decrease in Net sales resulting from the contribution of the majority of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations into the Joint Venture during the fourth quarter of 2019, as discussed above. Remaining Cost of goods sold comprise corn-based ethanol distribution activities in North America.
Gross profit increased $1,460 million, or 100%, to income of $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a loss of $1,455 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is due to a significant non-recurring impairment charge in the third quarter of 2019 resulting from the contribution of the majority our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations into the Joint Venture during the fourth quarter of 2019, as discussed above.
SG&A expenses decreased by $10 million, or 100%, to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $10 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to contribution of the majority our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations into the Joint Venture during the fourth quarter of 2019, as discussed above.
Income (loss) from affiliates increased $20 million to income of $18 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a loss of $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is due to our share of income associated with the Joint Venture.
Segment EBIT increased $1,566 million, or 101%, to income of $23 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a loss of $1,543 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is due to a significant non-recurring impairment charge recorded in the prior year, as well as lower SG&A and higher Income from affiliates in 2020.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Sugar and Bioenergy segment Net sales decreased by $826 million, or 87%, to $124 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $950 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in Net sales was primarily due to the contribution of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations, comprising the majority of our Sugar and Bioenergy segment, into the Joint Venture during the fourth quarter of 2019. Remaining sales comprise corn-based ethanol distribution activities in North America.
Cost of goods sold decreased by $2,287 million, or 95%, to $117 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $2,404 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to a significant non-recurring impairment charge in the third quarter of 2019, in addition to the decrease in Net sales resulting from the contribution of the majority of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations into the Joint Venture during the fourth quarter of 2019, as discussed above.
Gross profit increased by $1,461 million, or 100%, to $7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a loss of $1,454 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is due to lower Cost of goods sold in excess of lower Net sales, as described above.
SG&A expenses decreased by $29 million, or 97%, to $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the contribution of the majority of our Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations into the Joint Venture during the fourth quarter of 2019, as discussed above.
Income (loss) from affiliates decreased $115 million, to a loss of $118 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from a loss of $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is due to our share of losses associated with our investment in the Joint Venture.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our main financial objectives are to prudently manage financial risks, ensure consistent access to liquidity and minimize cost of capital in order to efficiently finance our business and maintain balance sheet strength. We generally finance our ongoing operations with cash flows generated from operations, issuance of commercial paper, borrowings under various bilateral and syndicated revolving credit facilities, term loans and proceeds from the issuance of senior notes. Acquisitions and long-lived assets are generally financed with a combination of equity and long-term debt.

Working capital was $4,569 million at September 30, 2020, an increase of $916 million, or 25%, from working capital of $3,653 million at December 31, 2019, and an increase of $1,112 million, or 32% from working capital of $3,457 million at September 30, 2019.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents were $291 million at September 30, 2020, a decrease of $29 million from $320 million at December 31, 2019, and flat with $291 million at September 30, 2019. Cash balances are managed in accordance with our investment policy, the objectives of which are to preserve the principal value of our cash assets, maintain a high degree of liquidity, and deliver competitive returns subject to prevailing market conditions. Cash balances are typically invested in short-term deposits with highly-rated financial institutions and in U.S. government securities.
Trade accounts receivable, net - Trade accounts receivable, net were $1,623 million at September 30, 2020, a decrease of $82 million from $1,705 million at December 31, 2019, and a decrease of $211 million from $1,834 million at September 30, 2019. The decreases from December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 are primarily due to negative foreign exchange impacts in Brazil, the recording of a bad debt reserve in relation to collection proceedings involving an historical outstanding account receivable due from a customer, and the timing of collections in our trading and distribution business.
Inventories - Inventories were $6,463 million at September 30, 2020, an increase of $1,425 million from $5,038 million at December 31, 2019, and an increase of $997 million from $5,466 million at September 30, 2019. The increase from December 31, 2019 is primarily related to an increase in RMI resulting from a strong soybean harvest in South America, coupled with an increased willingness of local farmers to sell agricultural commodity products priced in U.S. dollars in response to a depreciation of local currencies versus the U.S. dollar.
48

Table of Contents
RMI comprises agricultural commodity inventories, such as soybeans, soybean meal, soybean oil, corn, and wheat that are readily convertible to cash because of their commodity characteristics, widely available markets and international pricing mechanisms. Total RMI reported at fair value was $5,354 million and $3,934 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively (see Note 7 - Inventories, to our condensed consolidated financial statements).
Other current assets - Other current assets were $5,124 million at September 30, 2020, an increase of $1,939 million from $3,185 million at December 31, 2019, and an increase of $1,889 million from $3,235 million at September 30, 2019. The increase is primarily due to unrealized gains on derivative contracts, as well as the reclassification of certain U.S. grain assets as held for sale (see Note 3 - Portfolio Rationalization Initiatives, to our condensed consolidated financial statements).
Short-term debt - Short-term debt was $1,610 million at September 30, 2020, an increase of $839 million from $771 million at December 31, 2019, and a decrease of $215 million from $1,825 million at September 30, 2019. The increase in Short-term debt from December 31, 2019 was primarily to fund higher seasonal working capital levels, primarily RMI. The decrease from September 30, 2019 is due to lower debt levels following the sale of the majority of the Company's Brazilian sugar and bioenergy assets to the Joint Venture in late 2019, partially offset by higher working capital funding requirements, as described above.
Trade accounts payable - Trade accounts payable were $2,708 million at September 30, 2020, a decrease of $134 million from $2,842 million at December 31, 2019, and a decrease of $338 million from $3,046 million at September 30, 2019. The decrease in Trade accounts payable from December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 is due to the reclassification of certain liabilities associated with U.S. grain liabilities as held for sale, as well as the timing of payments on account.
Other current liabilities - Other current liabilities were $3,872 million at September 30, 2020, an increase of $1,613 million from $2,259 million at December 31, 2019, and an increase of $1,630 million from $2,242 million at September 30, 2019. The increases from December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 are primarily due to unrealized losses on derivative contracts and liabilities held for sale (see Note 3 - Portfolio Rationalization Initiatives, to our condensed consolidated financial statements).
Debt
Financing Arrangements and Outstanding Indebtedness - We conduct most of our financing activities through a centralized financing structure that provides the Company with efficient access to debt and capital markets. This structure includes a master trust, the primary assets of which consist of intercompany loans made to Bunge Limited and its subsidiaries. Certain of Bunge Limited’s 100% owned finance subsidiaries, Bunge Limited Finance Corp., Bunge Finance Europe B.V. and Bunge Asset Funding Corp., fund the master trust with short and long-term debt obtained from third parties, including through our commercial paper program and certain credit facilities, as well as the issuance of senior notes. Borrowings by these finance subsidiaries carry full, unconditional guarantees by Bunge Limited.
    Revolving Credit Facilities - At September 30, 2020, we had $4,315 million of aggregate committed borrowing capacity under our commercial paper program and various revolving bilateral and syndicated credit facilities, of which $3,617 million was unused and available. The following table summarizes these facilities as of the periods presented:

    We had no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2020 under our unsecured $1,100 million five-year syndicated revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with certain lenders party thereto maturing December 14, 2023. We have the option to request an extension of the maturity date of the Credit Agreement for two additional one-year periods, subject to the consent of the lenders. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin, which will vary from 1.00% to 1.625%, based on the credit ratings of our senior long-term unsecured debt ("Rating Level").
49

Table of Contents
Amounts under the Credit Agreement that remain undrawn are subject to a commitment fee at rates ranging from 0.09% to 0.225%, varying based on the Rating Level. We may, from time to time, request one or more of the existing lenders or new lenders to increase the total commitments under the Credit Agreement by up to $200 million pursuant to an accordion provision.
We had $300 million of borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2020 under our $1,750 million unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility with certain lenders party thereto maturing December 12, 2022 (the ‘‘$1.75 Billion 2022 Facility’’). Borrowings under the $1.75 Billion 2022 Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin, which will vary from 0.30% to 1.30% per annum, based on the credit ratings of our senior long-term unsecured debt. The applicable margin is also subject to certain premiums or discounts tied to criteria determined by certain sustainability targets. We also pay a fee that varies from 0.10% to 0.40% per annum, based on the utilization of the $1.75 Billion 2022 Facility. Amounts under the $1.75 Billion 2022 Facility that remain undrawn are subject to a commitment fee payable quarterly in arrears at a rate of 35% of the margin specified above, which varies based on the rating level at each quarterly payment date. We may, from time to time, with the consent of the facility agent, request one or more of the existing lenders or new lenders to increase the total commitments under the $1.75 Billion 2022 Facility by up to $250 million pursuant to an accordion provision.
    We had no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2020 under our unsecured $865 million revolving credit facility, maturing September 6, 2022 (the "$865 Million 2022 Facility"). Borrowings under the $865 Million 2022 Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin, which will vary from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, based on the credit ratings of our senior long-term unsecured debt. Amounts under the $865 Million 2022 Facility that remain undrawn are subject to a commitment fee payable quarterly based on the average undrawn portion of the $865 Million 2022 Facility at rates ranging from 0.125% to 0.275%, based on the credit ratings of our senior long-term unsecured debt.
     Our commercial paper program is supported by committed back-up bank credit lines (the ‘‘Liquidity Facility’’) equal to the amount of the commercial paper program provided by lending institutions that are required to be rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by Moody’s Investor Services. The cost of borrowing under the Liquidity Facility would typically be higher than the cost of issuance under our commercial paper program. At September 30, 2020, $398 million of borrowings were outstanding under the commercial paper program and no borrowings were outstanding under the Liquidity Facility. The Liquidity Facility is our only revolving credit facility that requires lenders to maintain minimum credit ratings.
In addition to committed credit facilities, from time to time, through our financing subsidiaries, we enter into bilateral short-term credit lines as necessary based on our financing requirements. At September 30, 2020, there were $217 million of borrowings outstanding under these bilateral short-term credit lines.
    Short and long-term debt - Our short and long-term debt increased by $1,544 million, or 30.9%, to $6,538 million at September 30, 2020, from $4,994 million at December 31, 2019, primarily due to working capital funding requirements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our average short and long-term debt outstanding was approximately $5,715 million, compared to approximately $6,250 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our long-term debt balance was $4,928 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $4,223 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of $705 million, or 16.7%.

On August 17, 2020, we completed the sale and issuance of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 1.630% unsecured senior notes (“Notes”) due August 17, 2025. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Bunge.

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 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.

Table of Contents
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, 2020.
On October 22, 2020, we entered into an unsecured $1,250 million 364-day Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders. The Credit Agreement includes a $1,000 million tranche (“Tranche A”) and a $250 million tranche (“Tranche B”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Each lender under Tranche A is required to fund all borrowing requests delivered by us unless such lender has delivered a declining lender notice to the administrative agent by 9.00am (New York City time) on the date such borrowing request is delivered. The lenders under Tranche B do not have the right to deliver a declining lender notice to us. We may also, from time to time, request one or more of the existing or new lenders to increase the total participations and commitments under Tranche A and Tranche B of the Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount up to $250 million pursuant to an accordion provision The Credit Agreement matures on October 21, 2021.

Total Bunge shareholders’ equity was $5,327 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $5,913 million at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $586 million. The decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to $880 million translation losses, $212 million and $25 million of declared dividends to common and preferred shareholders, respectively, and $100 million of common share repurchases, partially offset by $594 million of net income attributable to Bunge.
As of September 30, 2020, we had 6,899,683 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’s common shares exceeded certain specified thresholds, each convertible perpetual preference share is convertible, at the holder’s option, at any time into 1.2513 Bunge Limited common shares, based on the conversion price of $79.9189 per share, subject to certain additional anti-dilution adjustments (which represents 8,633,573 Bunge Limited common shares at September 30, 2020). At any time, if the closing price of our common shares equals or exceeds 130% of the conversion price for 20 trading days during any consecutive 30 trading days (including the last trading day of such period), we may elect to cause the convertible perpetual preference shares to be automatically converted into Bunge Limited common shares at the then-prevailing conversion price. The convertible perpetual preference shares are not redeemable by us at any time.
Share repurchase program - In May 2015, we established a new program for the repurchase of up to $500 million of our issued and outstanding common shares. The program has no expiration date. There were no shares repurchased under this program during the three months ended September 30, 2020, and 2,546,000 common shares repurchased under this program during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, for $100 million. Total repurchases under the program from its inception in May 2015 through September 30, 2020 were 7,253,440 shares for $400 million.

Our cash flows from operations vary depending on, among other items, the market prices and timing of the purchase and sale of our inventories. Generally, during periods when commodity prices are rising, our Agribusiness operations require increased use of cash to support working capital to acquire inventories and fund daily settlement requirements on exchange traded futures that we use to minimize price risk related to the purchase and sale of our inventories.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by $14 million, compared to a decrease of $100 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Operating: Cash used for operating activities was $2,128 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $815 million, compared to $1,313 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was due to higher working capital funding requirements, primarily RMI, and beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables, partially offset by higher net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Cash used for operating activities, adjusted for proceeds from beneficial interest in securitized trade receivables was $964 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $513 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was due to higher working capital funding requirements, primarily RMI, partially offset by higher net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Certain of our non-U.S. operating subsidiaries are primarily funded with U.S. dollar-denominated debt, while currency risk is hedged with U.S. dollar-denominated assets. The functional currency of our operating subsidiaries is generally the local currency. The financial statements of our subsidiaries are calculated in the functional currency, and when the local currency is the functional currency, translated into U.S. dollar. U.S. dollar-denominated loans are remeasured into their respective functional currencies at exchange rates at the applicable balance sheet date. Also, certain of our U.S. dollar functional operating subsidiaries outside the U.S. are partially funded with local currency borrowings, while the currency risk is hedged with local currency denominated assets. Local currency loans in U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries outside the U.S. are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the applicable balance sheet date. The resulting gain or loss is included in our condensed consolidated statements of income as foreign exchange gains or losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a foreign currency gain on our debt of $126 million, and for nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a foreign currency loss on our debt of $152 million, which were included as adjustments to reconcile net income to cash used for operating activities in the line item “Foreign exchange (gains) loss on net debt” in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. These adjustments are required as the gains and losses are non-cash items that arise from financing activities and therefore will have no impact on cash flows from operations.

Investing: Cash provided by investing activities was $980 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $556 million, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $424 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was due to higher proceeds from beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables, lower capital expenditures, and higher cash inflows from settlements of net investment hedges, offset by lower net proceeds from investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash from beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables was $1,164 million. In addition, we received proceeds from investments of $270 million, primarily promissory notes related to financial services investments, which were partially offset by payments of $293 million made for such investments. We also made payments for capital expenditures of $230 million related to capital projects at various facilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash from beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables was $800 million. In addition, we received proceeds from investments of $373 million, primarily from promissory notes related to financial services investments, partially offset by payments of $342 million made for such investments. We also made payments for capital expenditures of $378 million, which primarily related to the replanting of sugarcane in our Brazilian sugar and biofuels business that was contributed to the Joint Venture in late 2019, as well as other capital projects at various facilities.
Financing: Cash provided by financing activities was $1,129 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a $333 million increase, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $796 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net cash proceeds from short-term and long-term debt of $1,479 million, primarily used to fund seasonal working capital requirements, mostly comprising RMI. We also paid dividends of $237 million to our common shareholders and holders of our convertible preference shares, and repurchased $100 million of common shares. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the net cash proceeds from short-term and long-term debt of $1,042 million in borrowings, primarily related to working capital funding needs and to finance capital expenditures. In addition, we paid dividends of $237 million to our common shareholders and holders of our convertible preference shares.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical accounting policies are defined as those policies that are significant to our financial condition and results of operations and require management to exercise significant judgment. For a complete discussion of our accounting policies, see Note 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2020. Following is a material change to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For recent accounting pronouncements refer to Note 2 - Accounting Pronouncements, to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Effective January 1, 2020, we changed our segment reporting policy to separately disclose Corporate and Other activities from individual business segments, as further described in Note 20 - Segment Information. Corresponding prior period amounts have been restated to conform to current period classification.
Effective July 1, 2020, we changed our reporting of cash proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt with maturities of 90 days or less to separately present such cash proceeds and repayments in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Prior to July 1, 2020, the Company presented cash proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt with maturities of 90 days or less on a net basis. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Risk Management
As a result of our global activities, we are exposed to changes in, among other things, agricultural commodity prices, transportation costs, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and energy costs, which may directly or indirectly 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. Additionally, our Board of Directors' Enterprise Risk Management Committee oversees our global market risk governance framework, including 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 expected market movements in accordance with established policies, limits and procedures. We enter into derivative instruments primarily with commodity exchanges in the case of commodity futures and options, major financial institutions in the case of foreign currency and interest rate derivatives, or approved exchange clearing shipping companies 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 fair value of the underlying exposures. The derivative instruments that we use for hedging purposes are intended to reduce the volatility of our results of operations, however, they can occasionally result in earnings volatility, which may be material. See Note 13 - 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 use 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 and unrealized gains from forward cash contracts, as well as OTC derivative 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 regional credit teams, as well as reviews by our Management Credit Committee that monitors counterparty exposures. 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, low levels of available (funding) liquidity and/or significant price volatility, credit and counterparty risks are heightened. This increased risk is monitored through, among other things, exposure reporting, increased communication with key counterparties, management reviews and specific focus on counterparties or groups of counterparties that we may determine as high risk. In addition, we have limited exposures and limits in certain cases and reduced our use of non-exchange cleared derivative instruments.
Commodities Risk
We operate in many areas of the food industry, from agricultural raw materials to the production and sale of branded food and other specialty products via Bunge’s majority ownership in Loders. As a result, we purchase and produce various materials, many of which are agricultural commodities, including: soybeans, soybean oil, soybean meal, palm oil, softseeds (including sunflower seed, rapeseed and canola) and related oil and meal derived from them, wheat, barley, shea nut, and corn. In addition, we produce bioenergy products as a consequence of our production of soybean oil and other oil feedstocks. Agricultural and energy commodities are subject to price fluctuations due to a number of unpredictable factors that may create price risk. As described above, we are also subject to the risk of counterparty non-performance under forward purchase or sale contracts. From time to time, we have experienced instances of counterparty non-performance as a result of significant declines in counterparty profitability under these contracts due to significant movements in commodity and energy prices between the time the contracts were executed 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 and energy 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 volumetric and value-at-risk (VaR) limits. We measure and review our net commodities position on a daily basis. We also employ stress testing techniques, including stressed VaR techniques in order to quantify our exposures to price and liquidity risks under non-normal or event driven market conditions.
56

Table of Contents
Our daily net agricultural commodity position consists of inventory, forward purchase and sale contracts, and OTC and exchange 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 for each agricultural commodity by valuing all of our commodity positions at quoted market prices for the period, where available, or using a close proxy. VaR is calculated on the net position and monitored at the 95% confidence interval. In addition, scenario analysis and custom stress testing are regularly 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:

Lowest daily aggregated position value$54 $(5)$(724)$(72)
Ocean Freight Risk
Ocean freight and bunker fuel represent a significant portion of our operating costs. Market prices for ocean freight and bunker fuel vary depending on the supply and demand for ocean vessels, global economic conditions, the price of crude petroleum oil 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 seven years. We use financial derivatives to hedge portions of our ocean freight costs (generally freight forward agreements) and bunker fuel costs. The ocean freight derivatives are included in Other current assets and Other 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, that are used to operate our manufacturing facilities and ocean freight vessels. We also refine and produce biofuels. The energy commodities are subject to price risk. We use financial derivatives, including exchange traded and OTC swaps and options for various purposes to manage our exposure to volatility in energy costs and market prices. These energy derivatives are included in Other current assets and Other 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 Euro 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 for such net currency positions resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates as of September 30, 2020 was not material.
When determining our exposure, we exclude intercompany loans that are deemed to be permanently invested. The repayments of permanently invested intercompany loans are neither planned nor anticipated in the foreseeable future and 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 Net income (loss) and recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Included in Other comprehensive income (loss) are foreign exchange losses of $207 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and foreign exchange gains of $929 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 related to permanently invested intercompany loans.
    Interest Rate Risk
We have debt in fixed and floating rate instruments. We are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates. 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, 2020, was $6,627 million with a carrying value of $6,538 million. There was no significant change in our interest rate risk at September 30, 2020.
A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the interest yields on our senior note debt at September 30, 2020 would result in a decrease of approximately $51 million in the fair value of our debt. Similarly, a decrease of 100 basis points in the interest yields on our debt at September 30, 2020 would cause an increase of approximately $47 million in the fair value of our debt.
57

Table of Contents
A hypothetical 100 basis point change in LIBOR would result in a change of approximately $46 million in our interest expense on our variable rate debt at September 30, 2020. 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 TJLP and certain benchmark rates in local bank markets. As such, the hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rate ignores the potential impact of any currency movements.

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 an 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, 2020, 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 Control Over Financial Reporting - There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
As part of the Company’s ongoing portfolio rationalization initiatives (see Note 3 - Portfolio Rationalization Initiatives to our condensed consolidated financial statements), the Company is simplifying organizational structures, streamlining processes and consolidating back office functions globally. In connection with this initiative, the Company has and will continue to align and streamline the design and operation of its internal controls over financial reporting. These initiatives are not in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, but are expected, over time, to result in changes to such internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II.
INFORMATION
ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in litigation and other claims, investigations and proceedings incidental to our business. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the outcome of these proceedings, net of established reserves, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
For a discussion of certain legal and tax matters, see Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included as part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, we are a party to a large number of labor and civil and other claims, primarily relating to our Brazilian operations. We have reserved an aggregate of $33 million and $62 million, for labor and civil claims, respectively, as of September 30, 2020. The labor claims primarily relate to dismissals, severance, health and safety, salary adjustments and supplementary retirement benefits. The civil claims relate to various legal proceedings and disputes, including disputes with suppliers and customers and include approximately 139 million Brazilian reais (approximately $25 million as of September 30, 2020) related to a legacy environmental claim in Brazil.

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 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K 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 is a material update to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our operations may be adversely impacted as a result of pandemic outbreaks, including COVID-19.

In December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, was first reported in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, as COVID-19 spread outside of China, the World Health Organization designated the outbreak as a global pandemic. To date, millions of cases have been confirmed globally, and the number of reported cases continues to increase, including in all major geographies in which we operate. The ongoing pandemic could adversely affect our operations, major facilities, or employees’ and consumers’ health, which could interfere with general commercial activity related to our supply chain and customer base, and in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Throughout the third quarter of 2020, government officials in numerous countries around the world continued to impose quarantines and significant restrictions, including shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders, that prohibit many employees from travelling and entering their place of work. Many of these restrictions remain in place today. Additionally, the continued increase in the number of observed COVID-19 cases may lead to governments re-imposing previous travel and work restrictions or imposing additional restrictions. In locations where such restrictions are in place, Bunge has been deemed an essential or life-sustaining operation. To date, we have not seen a significant disruption in our supply chain, have been able to mitigate logistics and distribution issues that have arisen, and substantially all of our facilities around the world have continued to operate at or near normal levels. However, in the future, it may be challenging to obtain and process raw materials to support our business needs, and individuals could become ill, quarantined or otherwise unable to work and/or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions. Also, governments may impose other laws, regulations or taxes that could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, if our customers’ businesses are similarly affected, they might delay or reduce purchases from us, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The potential effects of COVID-19 also could impact many of our risk factors included in Part 1, Item A of our 2019 Form 10-K, including, but not limited to our profitability, laws and regulations affecting our business, fluctuations in foreign currency markets, the availability of future borrowings, the costs of current and future borrowings, valuation of our pension assets and obligations, credit risks of our customers and counterparties, our business transformation initiatives and an impairment of the carrying value of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets. However, given the evolving health, economic, social, and governmental environments, the potential impact that COVID-19 could have on our risk factors that are further described in our 2019 Form 10-K, and others that cannot yet be identified, remains uncertain.
