Investor Presentation
Spring 2017
Randall C. Stuewe, Chairman and CEO
Patrick C. Lynch, EVP Chief Financial Officer
Melissa Gaither, VP IR and Global Communications
Exhibit 99.1
This presentation contains “forward-looking” statements regarding the business operations and prospects of Darling Ingredients Inc., including its Diamond Green
Diesel joint venture, 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,” “assumption,” 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; 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, or otherwise; reduced demand for animal feed; reduced
finished product prices, including a 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), low carbon fuel standards (LCFS) and tax
credits for biofuels both in the Unites 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 and issues related to the announced expansion project; difficulties or a significant
disruption in our information systems or failure to implement new systems and software successfully, including our ongoing enterprise resource planning project;
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; uncertainty regarding the likely exit of the U.K. from the European Union; 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.

Carbon intensity is lifecycle emissions
(“well-to-wheels”), referring to
how much total pollution is generated in the production,
transport, storage and
use of a transportation fuel.
http://www.deq.state.or.us/aq/cleanFuel/qa.htm
(“Released” refers to GHG a plant emits from
the daily operation).
“Captured” represents the equivalent GHG that
would have been released if the raw material had
been landfilled, composted, incinerated or left on
open land, vs rendering process)

DGD and DAR to benefit from LCFS
o LCFS (State) is separate rule from RFS2 (Federal)
o Mandates reduction of carbon intensity in transportation fuels
(in effect in California, Oregon, parts of Canada and other countries)
o California has mandated a 10% reduction by 2020, to help reduce
carbon dioxide emissions
o LCFS measurements begin at source
o Darling’s biodiesel and renewable diesel can be used to
satisfy the LCFS requirements
o We produce the feedstocks with highest green premium
o This additional demand for low carbon fuels will
increase the value of the fats and oils we produce
o DGD will reach new expanded production to service LCFS

• JV with Intrexon – April 2016
• Announced construction of commercial-scale production site May 2017
Black soldier fly larvae for a sustainable, cost-effective and complete
aquaculture feed source
o Larvae feed off limited-use waste streams*; produce frass which is used as a high-
protein, low-fat feed ingredient – for aquaculture and animal feed
o Larvae is processed into meal that’s 40% protein/46% fat; oils can be extracted
raising protein to over 70% (aquaculture feed)
o Targeted primarily as feed for aquaculture, reducing dependency on fish and fish oil
as an aquaculture food source
o Frass can also be used as a natural, animal-safe fertilizer (N-P-K – 5%-3%-2%)
*uses co-products from ethanol production, breweries, and pre-consumer food waste
“We produce the
insect proteins to
feed the fish, to
feed the people.”

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 April 1, 2017. 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.
