Segment operating profit decreased 20 percent to $2,189 million in fiscal 2026, including the impact of the Divestitures, compared to
$2,730 million in fiscal 2025, primarily driven by a decrease in contributions from volume growth and higher input costs, partially
offset by favorable net price realization and mix and lower SG&A expenses. Segment operating profit decreased 20 percent on a
constant-currency basis in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025 (see the “Non-GAAP Measures” section below for our use of this
measure not defined by GAAP).

UNALLOCATED CORPORATE ITEMS
Unallocated corporate items include corporate overhead expenses, variances to planned domestic employee benefits and incentives,
certain charitable contributions, restructuring initiative project-related costs, gains and losses on corporate investments, results from
certain businesses managed by our Strategic Growth Office, and other items that are not part of our measurement of segment operating
performance. These include gains and losses arising from the revaluation of certain grain inventories and gains and losses from mark-
to-market valuation of certain commodity positions until passed back to our operating segments. These items affecting operating profit
are centrally managed at the corporate level and are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by executive
management. Under our supply chain organization, our manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution activities are substantially
integrated across our operations in order to maximize efficiency and productivity. As a result, fixed assets and depreciation and
amortization expenses are neither maintained nor available by operating segment.
Unallocated corporate expense totaled $402 million in fiscal 2026, compared to $396 million last year. In fiscal 2026, certain
compensation and benefits expenses increased compared to fiscal 2025, including the impact of the 53rd week. We recorded $19
million of restructuring charges in cost of sales in fiscal 2026, compared to $9 million of charges in cost of sales in fiscal 2025.
Additionally, we recorded a $48 million net decrease in expense related to the mark-to-market valuation of certain commodity
positions and grain inventories in fiscal 2026, compared to a $16 million net decrease last year. In fiscal 2026, we also recorded $31
million of transaction costs, primarily related to the Divestitures and the definitive agreement to sell our Brazil business, compared to
$49 million of transaction costs related to the Divestitures and the Acquisition last year.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
We experienced broad-based global input cost inflation of 4 percent in fiscal 2026 and 4 percent in fiscal 2025. We expect
approximately 4 percent to 5 percent input cost inflation in fiscal 2027. We attempt to minimize the effects of inflation through HMM,
Strategic Revenue Management (SRM), planning, and operating practices. Our market risk management practices are discussed in
