Operating Cash Flow Trends

Archer-Daniels-Midland Co · 2026-08-04 · Importance 63 · Surprise 64

Six-month net cash provided by operating activities declined to $1.299 billion from $3.956 billion, a 67% year-over-year decrease. The decline primarily reflected a $460 million use of operating assets and liabilities in 2026 versus a $2.723 billion source in 2025. Cash flow from operations before working capital increased to $1.8 billion from $1.2 billion, indicating stronger underlying earnings-based cash generation despite working-capital investment. Six-month net cash used in financing activities improved to $955 million from $1.579 billion, primarily because prior-year line-of-credit repayments were $1.057 billion versus $389 million in 2026.
