DGD Update

DGD update

On June 26, 2013, the Company announced that DGD had reached mechanical completion and began production with a 9,300 barrelperday nameplate capacity once in full operation On August 27, 2013 Darling reported that after successful startup of DGD and initial achievement of nameplate continuous production of ~9,300 barrels per day, a heat exchanger failed and needed to be replaced to improve the plant’s reliability under actual process conditions DGD continued to operate during the replacement of the heat exchanger at approximately 6,000 – 7,000 barrels per day, but during this process, other metallurgical wear issues were identified. Installation of new equipment was completed on November 13, 2013, and soon thereafter the facility returned to nameplate capacity.

The installation of this equipment is expected to help DGD achieve improved production rates in the long term

DGD value proposition

Natural hedge for the Company: Darling is one of the largest suppliers of animal fats and used cooking oils in the United States and DGD is expected to consume ~9% of the current US supply of rendered fats and used cooking oil

Attractive economics: DGD will be a low cost producer due to lower cost feed stock, distribution through existing infrastructure, synergies from its location adjacent to the Valero St. Charles Refinery and valuable co products

Superior product: renewable diesel is the highest quality product capable of fulfilling the RFS2 biomass based diesel mandate and is superior to biodiesel (for example, no cold-flow issues that biodiesel has)

Integration Case Study

Acquired Griffin for $840 million on December 17, 2010 $250 million in Senior Unsecured Notes issued on December 17, 2010 Successful equity offering in February 2011

For the periods 2011, 2012 and LTM September 2013, the Darling/Griffin combined business generated Adjusted EBITDA of $393 million, $317 million and $299 million, respectively1 Demonstrated commitment to de leveraging and repayment of debt, as leverage as of the Griffin closing date was 3.1x, but quickly decreased to 0.7x by FYE 2011, with approximately $450 million of debt paid down Successfully integrated the businesses with all key management personnel retained Improved financial performance reflects the capture of significant synergies

Diversified raw material supply

Consolidation of facilities and concentration of routing Increased value-add focus on products and services

1 |  | See Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation on slide 44

32

Financial Policy

We will continue to adhere to a relatively conservative financial policy

Demonstrated track record of opportunistic equity issuance and de leveraging following M&A transactions

Liquidity:

Our target liquidity, consisting of balance sheet cash and revolver availability, is $700 million

We have upsized our revolver to $1.0 billion to provide flexibility Our next scheduled debt maturity is in 2018

Shareholder distributions:

We have no near term plans for dividends or share repurchases

Acquisitions:

Focus on the integration of recent acquisitions

Selectively pursue strategic alliances and acquisition primarily outside of North America as well as bolt-on acquisition opportunities in North America to enhance Darling’s business

Risk management:

Darling will hedge committed sales in non functional currency and add resources to support this program VION reduces Darling’s overall commodity risk profile given their food and pharmaceutical product diversification and considering that Vion’s contracts to acquire European Union Category 1 and 2 materials are for collection only, as these materials cannot be processed or sold
