THIRD QUARTER 2016 June 29, 2016

Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements contained in this release are forward-looking statements, 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 understanding and acceptance of our biotechnology and other agricultural products; the success of the company s research and development activities; the outcomes of major lawsuits; developments related to foreign currencies and economies; the impact of exploring, responding to, entering into or consummating potential acquisitions or other transactions and proposals; fluctuations in commodity prices; compliance with regulations affecting our manufacturing; the accuracy of the company s estimates related to distribution inventory levels; the recent increases in and expected higher levels of indebtedness; 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, accidents, and security breaches, including cybersecurity incidents, 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 release. 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. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Fiscal Year References to year, or to fiscal year, are on a fiscal year basis and refer to the 12-month period ending August 31. 2016 Monsanto Company 2

Non-GAAP Financial Information This presentation may use the non-gaap financial measures of free cash flow, earnings per share (EPS) on an ongoing basis, EPS growth on an ongoing basis, EBIT and EBITDA on an ongoing basis, EBITDA on an as reported basis, gross profit on an ongoing basis, operating expenses on an ongoing basis, net income (loss) attributable to Monsanto Company on an ongoing basis, net debt, and adjusted return on capital. 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 ongoing EPS, excludes certain after-tax items that we do not consider part of ongoing operations, which are identified in the reconciliation. EBIT is defined as earnings (loss) before interest and taxes, ongoing EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and excludes certain after-tax items that we do not consider part of ongoing operations, as defined in the reconciliation, and as reported EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Earnings (loss) is intended to mean net income (loss) attributable to Monsanto Company as presented in the Statements of Consolidated Operations under GAAP. Net debt is defined as the sum of both short-term debt and long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Ongoing gross profit, ongoing operating expenses, and ongoing other expense, net, exclude certain pretax items that we do not consider part of ongoing operations, which are identified in the reconciliations. Ongoing net income (loss) attributable to Monsanto Company is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Monsanto Company excluding the cumulative after-tax impact of certain items we do not consider part of ongoing operations. Currency Neutral Ongoing Operating Results We use net sales growth, gross profit growth, operating expense growth, net income growth and diluted EPS growth, all on an ongoing basis and ongoing currency neutral basis. We determine our currency neutral operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, our current period actual U.S. dollar operating results by the current period actual exchange rates (that include the impact of current period currency hedging activities), to derive our current period local currency operating results. We then multiply or divide, as appropriate, the derived current period local currency operating results by the foreign currency exchange rates (that also include the impact of the comparable prior period currency hedging activities) used to translate the Company's financial statements in the comparable prior year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the foreign currency exchange rates had not changed from the comparable prior year period. The currency neutral estimates for net income and ongoing earnings per share were estimated using the effective tax rate for the local jurisdictions and the currency changes Our presentation of non-gaap financial measures is intended to supplement investors understanding of our operating performance, not replace net income (loss) attributable to Monsanto Company, cash flows, financial position, or comprehensive income (loss), as determined in accordance with GAAP. 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. 3
