Risk Change Over Time
- Technology - Risk 1We rely on information technology and any failure, inadequacy, interruption, or security lapse of that technology, including any cybersecurity incidents, could harm our ability to operate its business effectively.
Hackers, government-backed threat actors, and organized crime may be able to penetrate our network or systems, misappropriate or compromise our confidential information or that of third parties, create system disruptions, corrupt data, or cause shutdowns. Using different tools and methodologies the threat actors may be able to deploy malware that attacks our systems or our supplier's systems, or otherwise exploits any security vulnerabilities of our facilities and equipment. Such vulnerabilities in our systems can also occur due to a lack of robustness, quality, and integrity, in our systems as a whole. While we employ a number of technical, organizational, and physical protective measures, these measures may fail to prevent or detect all attacks on or weaknesses in its systems. We manage and store various proprietary, sensitive, and confidential information and data relating to our business as well as from our suppliers and customers. Breaches of this information and data due to insufficient security measures, accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure, or unapproved dissemination, including incidents as a result of fraud, trickery, or other forms of deception, could expose us or our customers or suppliers to a risk of loss or misuse of this information. Any claim that our facilities, equipment, products, or systems are subject to cybersecurity risk or data breaches, whether legitimate or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business. To the extent we experience any cybersecurity incidents in the future, our relationships with our customers and suppliers may be materially impacted, our brand and reputation may be harmed and we could incur substantial costs in responding to and remediating the incidents and in resolving any investigations or disputes that may result, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, the cost and operational consequences of implementing and adding further data protection measures could be significant.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 25
- Manufacturing - Risk 1The rapid expansion of domestic soybean processing capacity may lead to an oversupply of soybean meal and oil, which could compress crush margins and adversely affect our profitability.
We anticipate significant increases in industry-wide soybean processing and refining capacity as new facilities are commissioned and existing facilities are expanded. If the growth in demand-particularly from the renewable fuels sector for soybean oil or the livestock industry for soybean meal-does not keep pace with this increased supply, market prices for these commodities may decline significantly. Such an oversupply could result in compressed crush spreads (the margin between the cost of raw soybeans and the sales price of processed products) and increased competition for soybeans which could increase input costs. Any sustained imbalance between production capacity and global consumption could have a material adverse effect on our business.
