Exhibit 99.2
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.

2017 Overview
Consolidated Earnings
• Global volumes up 3.1% over 2016
• Tax Reform in both the U.S. and Europe benefit
of $88.9 mm, or $0.53 per share
• Gross margin of $786.4 up 4.0% with lower
protein pricing in the Feed Segment off-set by
higher fat pricing and increased sales volumes
• Absence of the blenders tax credit (BTC) in
2017 negatively impacted overall profitability of
core business by $12.6 mm and approximately
$80.3 mm EBITDA from DGD
• EPS in Q1 2018 will reflect the effect of the BTC
of $0.56 per diluted share
• Strong free cash flow driven by earnings and
improved working capital utilization led to a
$43.0 mm debt reduction in the fourth quarter
and $112.5 mm for the year

Year over Year Overview
• Fuel segment delivered consistent results when adding back the BTC of
$12.6mm. (Made retro in Feb 2018)
• North American biodiesel operated at a loss with the absence of the blenders
tax credit in 2017 vs. 2016. During Q4 biodiesel enjoyed profitability from
strong heating oil and RIN’s pricing.
• Ecoson, bioenergy business, suffered curtailment during the year with limited
bio-phosphate production which was slightly off-set by high sales of refined
fat later in the year.
• Rendac, disposal rendering business, delivered consistent and predictable
returns.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized accounting measurement under GAAP; it should not be considered as an alternative to
net income, as a measure of operating results, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, and is not
intended to be a presentation in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is presented here not as an alternative to net
income, but rather as a measure of the Company’s operating performance. 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. 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 December 30, 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, non-cash charges and cash dividends from the DGD Joint Venture. Additionally, the Company evaluates the impact of
foreign exchange impact on operating cash flow, which is defined as segment operating income (loss) plus depreciation and
amortization.
