Exhibit 99.2


Creating sustainable food, feed and fuel ingredients for a growing population
Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation contains “forward-looking” statements regarding the business operations and prospects of Darling Ingredients Inc. and industry factors
affecting it.  These statements are identified by  words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,”
“planned,” “potential,” “continue,” “momentum,” and other words referring to events that may occur in the future.  These statements reflect Darling
Ingredient’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, each
of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.  These factors include, among others, existing
and unknown future limitations on the ability of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries to make their cash flow available to the Company for
payments on the Company's indebtedness or other purposes; unanticipated costs or operating problems related to the acquisition and integration of Rothsay
and Darling Ingredients International (including transactional costs and integration of the new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system); 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; reductions in raw material volumes available to the
Company due to weak
margins in the meat production industry as a result of higher feed costs, reduced consumer demand or other factors, reduced volume from food service
establishments, reduced demand for animal feed, or otherwise; reduced finished product prices; continued decline in fat and used
cooking oil finished
product prices; changes to worldwide government policies relating to renewable fuels and greenhouse gas emissions that adversely
affect programs like the
Renewable Fuel Standards Program (RFS2) and tax credits for biofuels both in the United States and abroad; possible product recall resulting from
developments relating to the discovery of unauthorized adulterations to food or food additives; the occurrence of Bird Flu including, but not limited to H5N1
flu, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (or "BSE"), porcine epidemic diarrhea ("PED") or other diseases associated with animal origin in the United States or
elsewhere; unanticipated costs and/or reductions in raw material volumes related to the Company’s compliance with the existing or unforeseen new U.S. or
foreign regulations (including, without limitation, China) affecting the industries in which the Company operates or its value added products (including new or
modified animal feed, Bird Flu, PED or BSE or similar or unanticipated regulations); risks associated with the renewable diesel plant in Norco, Louisiana owned
and operated by a joint venture between Darling Ingredients and Valero Energy Corporation, including possible unanticipated operating disruptions; risks
relating to possible third party claims of intellectual property infringement; increased contributions to the Company’s pension and benefit plans, including
multiemployer and employer-sponsored defined benefit pension plans as required by legislation, regulation or other applicable U.S. or foreign law or
resulting from a U.S. mass withdrawal event; bad debt write-offs; loss of or failure to obtain necessary permits and registrations; continued or escalated
conflict in the Middle East, North Korea, Ukraine or elsewhere; and/or unfavorable export or import markets. These factors, coupled with volatile prices for
natural gas and diesel fuel, climate conditions, currency exchange fluctuations, general performance of the U.S. and global economies, disturbances in world
financial, credit, commodities and stock markets, and any decline in consumer confidence and discretionary spending, including the inability of consumers
and companies to obtain credit due to lack of liquidity in the financial markets, among others, could negatively impact the Company's results of operations.
Among other things, future profitability may be affected by the Company’s ability to grow its business, which faces competition from companies that may
have substantially greater resources than the Company. The Company’s announced share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time
and purchases of shares under the program are subject to market conditions and other factors, which are likely to change from
time to time. Other risks and
uncertainties regarding Darling Ingredients Inc., its business and the industries in which it operates are referenced from time to time in the Company’s filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Darling Ingredients Inc. 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.

Foreign Currency Impact
o
The U.S. dollar has strengthened against most of the functional currencies used by the
Company’s non-domestic operations.
o
Using actual results for fiscal year 2014 and comparing the yearly average rates to the
average rates for fiscal year 2015, the impact of the strengthened dollar would result in an
annual decrease in net sales and EBITDA of approximately $383.2 million
and approximately
$49.0 million, respectively if the same amount of non-domestic operations were attained in
fiscal 2015.
o
The U.S. dollar continues to strengthen at the time of this filing. The impact is mainly affected
by the drop in the Euro in comparison to the U.S. dollar.

Creating sustainable food, feed and fuel ingredients for a growing population
Adjusted EBITDA is presented here not as an alternative to net income, but rather as a measure of the Company’s operating
performance and is not intended to be a presentation in accordance with GAAP. Since EBITDA (generally, net income plus interest
expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is not calculated identically by all companies, this presentation may not be
comparable to EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA presentations disclosed by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated in this
presentation and represents, for any relevant period, net income/(loss) plus depreciation and amortization, goodwill and long-lived
asset impairment, interest expense, (income)/loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, income tax provision, other
income/(expense) and equity in net loss of unconsolidated subsidiary. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in
evaluating the Company’s operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry because the calculation of
Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing income taxes and certain non-cash and other items that may vary for
different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
As a result, the Company’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure to evaluate performance and for other discretionary
purposes. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to
net income as a measure of operating results or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, and is not intended to be a presentation
in accordance with GAAP. In addition to the foregoing, management also uses or will use Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance
with certain financial covenants under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities and 5.375% Notes and 4.75% Notes that
were outstanding at January 2, 2016. However, the amounts shown in this presentation for Adjusted EBITDA differ from the
amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities and 5.375% Notes and 4.75%
Notes, as those definitions permit further adjustments to reflect certain other non-recurring costs and non-cash charges and cash
dividends from the DGD Joint Venture. Additionally, the Company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange on operating cash flow,
which is defined as segment operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization.
In addition, the Company’s management used adjusted diluted earnings per share as a measure of earnings due to the significant
merger and acquisition activity of the Company. However, adjusted earnings per share is not a recognized measurement under
GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted earnings per share presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted
diluted earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income attributable to Darling divided by the weighted average shares of
diluted common stock. Adjusted net income attributable to Darling is defined as a reconciliation of net income attributable to Darling,
net of tax (i) adjusted for net of tax acquisition and integration costs related to merger and acquisitions, (ii) net of tax amortization of
acquisition related intangibles and (iii) net of tax certain non-recurring items that are not part of normal operations. This measure is
solely for the purpose of calculating adjusted diluted earnings per share and is not intended to be a substitute of presentation
in accordance with GAAP.
