Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding the business operations and prospects
of Darling International and industry factors affecting it. These statements are identified by words such as
“may,” “will,”  “begin,” “look forward,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “should,” “potential,”
“estimate,” “continue,” “momentum” and other words referring to events that may occur in the future.
These statements reflect Darling International's current view of future events and are based on its
assessment of, and are subject to, a variety of risks and uncertainties beyond its control, including the
Company’s ability to successfully integrate and operate Rothsay and Darling Ingredients International,
disturbances in world financial, credit, commodities, stock markets and climatic conditions; unanticipated
changes in national and international regulations affecting the Company’s products; a decline in
consumer confidence and discretionary spending; the general performance of the U.S. and global
economies; global demands for bio-fuels and grain and oilseed commodities, which have exhibited
volatility, and can impact the cost of feed for cattle, hogs and poultry, thus affecting available rendering
feedstock and selling prices for the Company’s products; risks associated with the renewable diesel plant
in Norco, Louisiana owned and operated by a joint venture between Darling International and Valero
Energy Corporation, including possible unanticipated operating disruptions and marketing challenges;
risks relating to possible third party claims of intellectual property infringement; economic disruptions
resulting from the European debt crisis; continued or escalated conflict in the Middle East; and the
Company’s relatively high level of indebtedness, each of which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those indicated  in the forward-looking statements. Other risks and uncertainties
regarding Darling International, its business and the industry in which it operates are referenced from
time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Darling International
is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-
looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Nutrients for growth. 
Our feed ingredients compose the largest segment of our business, with
sales to feed and pet food manufacturers worldwide or used to produce
our own fertilizers.  The Company’s DAR PRO Solutions, Rothsay and
Sonac
brands collect and transform meat and animal by-products into
protein meals, fats, minerals and tallows that are value-added nutritional
ingredients for the animal feed and pet food industries as well as bone
and blood specialty products. 
Bakery

collects
residuals
from

and

producers, repurposing these materials into Cookie Meal®, a premium,
high-energy animal feed ingredient.
