Wilmar
GAAP earnings include a reduction in the carrying value of the Wilmar equity investment to reflect the Singapore Exchange trading price as of the balance sheet date. The reduction resulted from a determination that declines in the valuation amount for our investment are impaired on an “other than temporary” basis as of the end of the quarter. This has resulted in a non-cash charge against GAAP earnings for the third quarter of 2024 of $46100万. The Company is continuing to evaluate trends in the trading price of our Wilmar equity investment and the potential for future charges that could result.

Following ongoing dialogue with the staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company will amend the Company’s fiscal year 2023 Form 10-k (the “FY2023 Form 10-K”) and Form 10-Q for the first and second quarters of 2024 (collectively, the “Q1 and Q2 2024 Form 10-Qs”) to restate the segment information disclosure (Note 17 included in the FY 2023 Form 10-k and Note 13 included in the Q1 and Q2 2024 Form 10-Qs) included in those filings. These restatements are not expected to result in any material impact on ADM’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow or Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity as of and for the periods presented. The restated filings will include corrections for newly identified errors related to intersegment sales (described below), will reflect the previously-corrected errors, and will provide disclosures applicable to restated segment information.

Equity earnings from our Wilmar equity investment were $6200万 during the quarter compared to the prior year quarter of $3500万.
Year-to-date in 2024, the AS&O segment delivered $180300万 in segment operating profit, lower versus the elevated prior year. Ample supplies out of South America created more balanced supply and demand conditions, leading to a lower margin environment in the segment. Improved segment volumes and lower costs partially offset the impact from lower margins. Equity earnings from our Wilmar equity investment were 20% higher versus the comparable prior year period.
Carbohydrate Solutions segment operating profit was $45200万 for the third quarter of 2024, down (3)% compared to the prior year period.
The Starches & Sweeteners subsegment increased 13%, versus the prior year period, primarily driven by strong starches and sweeteners volumes and margins, supported by high utilization rates across the network. The current quarter also included $4700万 of insurance proceeds for the partial settlement of the Decatur West insurance claims related to an incident that occurred in 2023.

In the Vantage Corn Processing (VCP) subsegment, operating loss of $(3) million was lower compared to the prior year period, driven by higher inventories and production, leading to a lower margin environment.
Year-to-date in 2024, Carbohydrate Solutions segment operating profit of $105700万 was (1)% lower than the prior year period, as lower margins in the EMEA region and lower domestic ethanol margins were partially offset by improved volumes and lower costs.
