Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this presentation are quot;forward-looking statements,quot; such as statements
concerning the company's anticipated financial results, current and future product performance,
regulatory approvals, business and financial plans and other non-historical facts. These statements are
based on current expectations and currently available information. However, since these statements are
based on factors that involve risks and uncertainties, the company's actual performance and results may
differ materially from those described or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include, among others: continued competition in seeds, traits and
agricultural chemicals; the company's exposure to various contingencies, including those related to
intellectual property protection, regulatory compliance and the speed with which approvals are received,
and public acceptance of biotechnology products; the success of the company's research and
development activities; the outcomes of major lawsuits, including proceedings related to Solutia Inc.;
developments related to foreign currencies and economies; successful completion and operation of
recent and proposed acquisitions, including Delta and Pine Land Company; fluctuations in commodity
prices; compliance with regulations affecting our manufacturing; the accuracy of the company's estimates
related to distribution inventory levels; the company's ability to fund its short-term financing needs and to
obtain payment for the products that it sells; the effect of weather conditions, natural disasters and
accidents on the agriculture business or the company's facilities; and other risks and factors detailed in
the company's most recent periodic report to the SEC. Undue reliance should not be placed on these
forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date of this presentation. The company
disclaims any current intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements or any of the
factors that may affect actual results.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This presentation may use the non-GAAP financial measures of “free cash flow,” and earnings per share (EPS) on
an ongoing basis. We define free cash flow as the total of cash flows from operating activities and investing
activities. A non-GAAP EPS financial measure, which we refer to as on-going EPS, excludes certain after-tax items
that we do not consider part of ongoing operations, which are identified in the reconciliation. ROC means net
income (without the effect of certain items) exclusive of after-tax interest expenses, divided by the average of the
beginning year and ending year net capital employed, as defined in the reconciliation. Our presentation of non-
GAAP financial measures is intended to supplement investors’ understanding of our operating performance. These
non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace net income (loss), cash flows, financial position, or
comprehensive income (loss), as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used
by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are reconciled to the most
directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, which can be found at
the end of this presentation.



With respect to the time period prior to Sept. 1, 2000, references to Monsanto in this presentation also refer to the
agricultural business of Pharmacia.

  • 2. Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements contained in this presentation are quot;forward-looking statements,quot; such as statements concerning the company's anticipated financial results, current and future product performance, regulatory approvals, business and financial plans and other non-historical facts. These statements are based on current expectations and currently available information. However, since these statements are based on factors that involve risks and uncertainties, the company's actual performance and results may differ materially from those described or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, among others: continued competition in seeds, traits and agricultural chemicals; the company's exposure to various contingencies, including those related to intellectual property protection, regulatory compliance and the speed with which approvals are received, and public acceptance of biotechnology products; the success of the company's research and development activities; the outcomes of major lawsuits, including proceedings related to Solutia Inc.; developments related to foreign currencies and economies; successful completion and operation of recent and proposed acquisitions, including Delta and Pine Land Company; fluctuations in commodity prices; compliance with regulations affecting our manufacturing; the accuracy of the company's estimates related to distribution inventory levels; the company's ability to fund its short-term financing needs and to obtain payment for the products that it sells; the effect of weather conditions, natural disasters and accidents on the agriculture business or the company's facilities; and other risks and factors detailed in the company's most recent periodic report to the SEC. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date of this presentation. The company disclaims any current intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements or any of the factors that may affect actual results. Trademarks Trademarks owned by Monsanto Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are italicized in this presentation. Mavera™ is a trademark of Renessen.

  • 3. Non-GAAP Financial Information This presentation may use the non-GAAP financial measures of “free cash flow,” and earnings per share (EPS) on an ongoing basis. We define free cash flow as the total of cash flows from operating activities and investing activities. A non-GAAP EPS financial measure, which we refer to as on-going EPS, excludes certain after-tax items that we do not consider part of ongoing operations, which are identified in the reconciliation. ROC means net income (without the effect of certain items) exclusive of after-tax interest expenses, divided by the average of the beginning year and ending year net capital employed, as defined in the reconciliation. Our presentation of non- GAAP financial measures is intended to supplement investors’ understanding of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace net income (loss), cash flows, financial position, or comprehensive income (loss), as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are reconciled to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, which can be found at the end of this presentation. With respect to the time period prior to Sept. 1, 2000, references to Monsanto in this presentation also refer to the agricultural business of Pharmacia. 3
