Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION, PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 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, 2022 has been derived from Bunge’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, forming part of Bunge’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company changed its reporting of cash proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt with maturities of three months or less to be presented on a net basis in its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Prior to January 1, 2023, the Company presented cash proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt with maturities of three months or less separately in its consolidated statements of cash flows. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation. Ukraine-Russia War On February 24, 2022, Russia initiated a military invasion of Ukraine (the "war"). Bunge’s Ukrainian operations comprise two oilseed crushing facilities, located in Mykolaiv and Dnipropetrovsk, a grain export terminal in Mykolaiv commercial seaport, numerous grain elevators, and an office in Kiev. The Company also operates a corn milling facility in Ukraine via a joint venture. As of March 31, 2023, total assets and total liabilities associated with Bunge’s Ukrainian subsidiaries each comprise approximately 2% of Bunge’s consolidated Total assets and Total liabilities, respectively. Bunge’s operational activities in Ukraine have steadily increased during recent months, but remain limited and are subject to Bunge's ability to perform activities safely. The scope, intensity, duration, and outcome of the ongoing war is uncertain, and any continuation or escalation of the war may have a material adverse effect on Bunge, including its Ukrainian operations. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized mark-to-market gains of $10 million in Cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of income related to inventory recovered from its Mykolaiv and other facilities which had no carrying value as of December 31, 2022. No impairments or charges related to the war were recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Please refer to Note 2 - Ukraine-Russia War, included in the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details regarding the impact of the war on Bunge's financial statements. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Restricted cash is included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
(US$ in millions) | March 31, 2023 | March 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 3,052 |  | $ | 386 |
Restricted cash included in Other current assets | 5 |  | 20 |
Total | $ | 3,057 |  | $ | 406 |
Cash paid for inco me taxes, net of refunds received, was $39 million and $103 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash paid for interest expense was $94 million and $122 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting designed to ease the financial reporting burden related to reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, to ensure the relief in Topic 848 covers the period of time during which a significant number of modifications to eligible contracts and hedging relationships may take place. The ASU defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company is applying this guidance prospectively to all eligible contract modifications through December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2023, the adoption of this guidance has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on Bunge's condensed consolidated financial statements.
