Annual sales increase 5% to $7,153 million, with adjusted EBITDA of $1,488 million and earnings per share of $0.36

Company advances strategic principles, with acquisition of Bartek Ingredients and review of non-core assets

TEL AVIV, Israel & ST. LOUIS, February 18, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ICL (NYSE: ICL) (TASE: ICL), a leading global specialty minerals company, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. For the fourth quarter, consolidated sales of $1,701 million were up 6% versus $1,601 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Operating income was ($16) million versus $147 million, while adjusted operating income of $223 million was up 17% versus $190 million in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA of $380 million was up 10% versus $347 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Diluted earnings per share were ($0.06) in the fourth quarter, versus $0.06 in the prior year, while adjusted diluted EPS of $0.09 was up 13% versus $0.08.

In the fourth quarter, ICL incurred adjustments totaling $239 million, and the company views these charges as unusual. The adjustments include approximately $122 million for activities related to the execution of ICL’s new strategy. These efforts are essential in moving ICL forward and designed to help fund the company’s profitable growth engines – specialty crop nutrition and specialty food solutions. These advancements will help the company redirect its resources toward better-aligned opportunities and include the discontinuation of ICL’s LFP battery materials projects in St. Louis and in Spain, efficiency improvements at some of our R&D facilities in Israel, and an impairment of assets in the UK. These adjustments also include an $80 million provision for prior years following a Supreme Court ruling regarding water extraction fees in the Dead Sea concession area.

For the full year, consolidated sales were $7,153 million and up 5% versus $6,841 million in 2024. Operating income was $580 million versus $775 million in 2024, while adjusted operating income was $873 million in both 2025 and 2024. Annual adjusted EBITDA of $1,488 million was up slightly versus $1,469 million in 2024. Diluted earnings per share for 2025 were $0.18 versus $0.32 in 2024, while adjusted diluted EPS was $0.36 versus $0.38. Operating cash flow was $1,056 million in 2025. In 2025, the Company distributed approximately $224 million in dividends to its shareholders.

“ICL delivered a solid finish to 2025, with fourth quarter sales increasing 6% to $1.7 billion and adjusted EBITDA improving 10% to $380 million. All four of our segments delivered sales growth, with sales for our Industrial Products, Phosphate Solutions and Growing Solutions segments up 4% in the fourth quarter, and we remain committed to growing our leadership position in these segments,” said Elad Aharonson, president and CEO of ICL. "Throughout 2025, we benefitted from our distinctive global presence and relied on our regionally diversified operations to expand our specialties solutions offerings to our global customers using local production. This focus helped us to deliver a 5% increase in sales in 2025.

Story Continues  

"This momentum is expected to carry us into 2026, and we are looking forward to executing against our new strategic principles in the coming years. For this year, we expect our two growth engines – specialty crop nutrition, which is part of Growing Solutions, and specialty food solutions, part of our Phosphate Solutions – to help drive improvement, and this will be via M&A, like our recent acquisition of Bartek Ingredients, and as we expand geographically. At the same time, we will stay focused on our core mission of driving profitable growth in all of our specialty businesses, while strengthening our leadership across all business segments.

“This focus has resulted in a review of our capital allocation priorities and an evaluation of non-synergistic and low-potential activities, including the discontinuation of our downstream expansion into cathode active materials for LFP batteries and a sales review of our Boulby operations in the UK, where we are exploring divestment opportunities. We expect to share updates on our strategic efforts throughout 2026 and look forward to strengthening and growing ICL for the long-term.”

For 2026, the Company expects consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be between $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion. For Potash sales volumes, the company expects between 4.5 million and 4.7 million metric tons in 2026. (1a)

Financial Figures and non-GAAP Financial Measures

Segment Information

Industrial Products

The Industrial Products segment produces bromine from a highly concentrated solution in the Dead Sea and bromine‑based compounds at its facilities in Israel, the Netherlands and China. In addition, the segment produces several grades of salts, magnesium chloride, magnesia-based products, phosphorus-based products and functional fluids.

Results of operations and key indicators

Significant highlights for the fourth quarter

Flame retardants: Sales of bromine-based products remained flat year-over-year, as higher prices were offset by lower volumes due to continued weak demand. Sales of phosphorus-based products were also flat year-over-year, driven mainly by lower volumes in Europe, offset by higher volumes and prices in the US following duties on imports of tris (2-chloro-1-methylethyl) phosphate (TCPP) from China.

Elemental bromine: Sales increased year-over-year, as higher prices offset lower volumes.

Clear brine fluids: Sales increased year-over-year, driven by higher demand in South America and Europe.

Specialty minerals: Sales increased year-over-year, driven by higher demand for magnesium chloride for deicing in the US following an early snowfall, which resulted in strong pre-season sales. This was partially offset by lower sales in certain industrial applications.

Results analysis for the period October – December 2025

Quantity – The negative impact on operating income was primarily due to lower sales volumes of bromine-based flame retardants and phosphorus-based industrial solutions, partially offset by higher sales volumes of clear brine fluids.

Price – The positive impact on operating income was primarily due to higher selling prices of bromine-based industrial solutions, bromine-based flame retardants, specialty minerals, and phosphorus- based flame retardants.

Exchange rates – The unfavorable impact on operating income was mainly driven by higher operational costs due to the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the Israeli shekel against the US dollar, which outweighed the positive impact on sales from the euro's appreciation.

Operating and other expenses – The negative impact on operating income was mainly related to higher operational costs.

Potash

The Potash segment produces and sells mainly potash, salts, magnesium and electricity. Potash is produced in Israel using an evaporation process to extract potash from the Dead Sea at Sodom and in Spain using conventional mining from an underground mine. The segment also produces and sells pure magnesium, magnesium alloys and chlorine. In addition, the segment sells salt products produced at its potash site in Spain. The segment operates a power plant in Sodom, which supplies electricity and steam to ICL facilities in Israel with any surplus electricity sold to external customers.

Results of operations and key indicators

Significant highlights for the fourth quarter

ICL's potash price (CIF) per tonne was $348 in the fourth quarter, reflecting a 22% increase year-over-year.

The Grain Price Index declined by 4.4% in the fourth quarter. While corn, wheat, and soy increased quarter-over-quarter by 2.6%, 0.1%, and 5.1%, respectively, rice declined by 15.7% due to expectations of global oversupply. On a year-over-year basis, the Index declined by 13.9%, as corn and soy increased by 0.6% and 8.6%, respectively, while wheat and rice decreased by 10.7% and 31.1%, respectively.

The WASDE (World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates) report, published by the USDA in January 2026, showed a continued decrease in the expected ratio of global inventories of grains to consumption to 26.7% for the 2025/26 agriculture year, compared to 26.9% for the 2024/25 agriculture year, and 28.3% for the 2023/24 agriculture year.

In December 2025, under ICL's 2025–2027 Chinese framework agreements, the Company signed contracts with its Chinese customers to supply 750,000 tonnes of potash, with a mutual option for an additional 330,000 tonnes, to be supplied during 2026 at a price of $348 per tonne. This rate was in line with recent industry contract settlements.

Metal Magnesium: Sales decreased year-over-year due to lower sales volumes.

Additional segment information

Global potash market - average prices and imports:

Potash – Production and Sales

Fourth quarter 2025

Production – Production was 44 thousand tonnes higher year-over-year, mainly due to a planned production shutdown at our Spanish plant in Q4 2024 that reduced production in that period.

Sales - The quantity of potash sold decreased by 59 thousand tonnes year-over-year due to adverse weather conditions toward year-end that disrupted loading operations at Ashdod Port and led to lower sales volumes mainly in the US and Europe.

Full year 2025

Production – Production was 125 thousand tonnes lower year-over-year, mainly due to operational challenges.

Sales – The quantity of potash sold was 236 thousand tonnes lower year-over-year, mainly due to lower production in the first half of the year and adverse weather conditions toward year-end that disrupted loading operations at Ashdod Port, leading to reduced sales volumes primarily in the US and South America.

Results analysis for the period October – December 2025

Quantity – The negative impact on operating income was primarily due to lower potash sales volumes in the US and Europe, as well as decreased sales volumes of magnesium. This was partially offset by higher potash sales volumes in China, India and Brazil.

Price – The positive impact on operating income was primarily driven by a $63 year-over-year increase in the potash price (CIF) per tonne.

Exchange rates – The unfavorable impact on operating income was mainly due to higher operational costs resulting from the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the euro and the Israeli shekel against the US dollar, which outweighed their positive impact on sales.

Energy – The negative impact on operating income was primarily driven by higher water fees and electricity prices.

Operating and other expenses – The negative impact on operating income was primarily related to higher maintenance and operational costs, as well as higher royalty payments.

Phosphate Solutions

The Phosphate Solutions segment operates ICL’s phosphate value chain and uses phosphate rock and fertilizer-grade phosphoric acid to produce phosphate-based specialty products with higher added value, as well as to produce and sell phosphate-based fertilizers.

Results of operations and key indicators

Significant highlights for the fourth quarter

Commodity phosphate prices declined in Q4 2025, driven by seasonal slowdowns, high input costs, and mounting affordability concerns that triggered significant regional market shifts.

 

*    
    
    In China, the phosphate export window closed in October 2025. Weak demand and poor sentiment pushed DAP FOB prices down $88/mt from September to December, while a severe sulphur shortage raised production costs, lifting domestic DAP prices by ~$32/mt (RMB225/mt) and leading to tighter, longer export restrictions for 2026.
    
     
*    
    
    In the US, DAP FOB NOLA fell $209/mt from an August 2025 peak of $887/mt, mainly in Q4, driven by weak demand, affordability concerns, and sector uncertainty. Through September, DAP and MAP imports were down 41% year-over-year and 31% below the five-year average, with market dynamics further shaped by a Senate investigation and the removal of most fertilizer tariffs in November.
    
     
*    
    
    In Brazil, Q4 phosphate prices softened, with MAP CFR falling from $760/mt in July to $630/mt by December 2025, as high prices and weak affordability weighed on consumption. Through November, DAP and MAP imports were well below the five-year average, partially offset by rising TSP and SSP imports as buyers sought cheaper alternatives.

Indian phosphoric acid prices, negotiated quarterly, rose $32/mt to $1,290/mt P₂O₅ in Q4 2025. Q1 2026 prices are still under negotiation.

Sulphur FOB Middle East ended the fourth quarter at $515/mt, up $188/mt quarter-over-quarter. This increase was driven by strong demand from the metals sector in Southeast Asia and the phosphate sector in China, and by tight availability, particularly from Russia and other countries in the former Soviet Union.

The broader functional food ingredients market—valued at approximately $35 billion—is demonstrating strong growth, with a CAGR of 5% to 6%, fueled by global mega trends such as food security, health & lifestyle and dietary shifts towards protein enrichment.

The industrial segment is being reshaped by the global energy transition, specifically the growth of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, which is accelerating demand of purified phosphoric acid. This trend is most pronounced in China, which remains the global epicenter for LFP cathode production.

White phosphoric acid (WPA): Sales increased year-over-year, driven mainly by higher volumes and prices, particularly in Asia. Sales of food grade white phosphoric acid (WPA FG) slightly decreased year-over-year, due to a shift in Chinese volumes toward products used in batteries.

Sales of battery materials in China increased year-over-year, driven by higher volumes and prices and as the Company expanded its business in response to increased industry demand.  
  
As part of the Company’s strategic portfolio optimization efforts, ICL has shifted its approach to LFP battery materials. While the Company will continue supplying raw materials to battery customers, it will not move further downstream into cathode active materials. Accordingly, it discontinued its previously announced projects in St. Louis and Spain, following a review of shifting market dynamics and recent changes in government policies.  

Industrial salts: Sales increased slightly year-over-year, driven by higher prices in Europe.

Food specialties: Sales slightly increased versus the previous year and reflected growing volumes in North America and Asia, as part of the Company’s regional expansion strategy.  
  
In January 2026, the Company acquired 49.9% of Bartek Ingredients' shares, a global leader in food-grade malic and fumaric acids, serving hundreds of customers and distributors across the food, beverage, confectionery, bakery and other end-markets worldwide. These functional food ingredients are used by food and beverage companies to enhance flavour profiles, extend shelf life, and improve overall product quality.  

Additional segment information

Global Phosphate Commodities market - average prices per tonne:

Results analysis for the period October – December 2025

Quantity – The negative impact on operating income was primarily due to lower sales volumes of phosphate fertilizers, partially offset by higher sales volumes of white phosphoric acid (WPA), phosphate-based food additives, and of MAP used as a raw material for energy storage solutions.

Price – The positive impact on operating income was primarily due to higher selling prices of phosphate fertilizers and salts, partially offset by lower selling prices of phosphate-based food additives.

Exchange rates - The unfavorable impact on operating income was mainly due to higher operational costs resulting from the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the euro, Chinese yuan and the Israeli shekel against the US dollar, partially offset by higher sales driven primarily by stronger euro and yuan.

Raw materials – The negative impact on operating income was primarily due to higher sulphur costs.

Operating and other expenses – The positive impact on operating income was primarily related to lower operational expenses.

Growing Solutions

The Growing Solutions segment aims to achieve global leadership in plant nutrition by enhancing its position in its core markets of agriculture, ornamental horticulture, turf and landscaping, and by targeting high-growth markets such as Brazil, India, and China. The segment leverages its unique R&D capabilities, substantial agronomic experience, global footprint, backward integration into potash, phosphate and polysulphate and its chemistry know-how, as well as its ability to integrate and generate synergies from acquired businesses.

About ICL

ICL Group Ltd. is a global leader in agriculture, food and industrial solutions, utilizing its unique mineral resources and extensive expertise to address key sustainability challenges related to food security and access to essential minerals. ICL is focused on driving long-term growth through its specialty agriculture and food businesses, while strategically managing its bromine, potash, and phosphate mineral resources. ICL’s global professional workforce is dedicated to expanding its growth engines and efficiently operating – both structurally and economically – while maintaining and optimizing its core operations. The Company’s operations are organized under four segments: Industrial Products (Bromine), Potash, Phosphate Solutions and Growing Solutions.

We disclose in this quarterly report non-IFRS financial measures titled adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA. Our management uses adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. We calculate our adjusted operating income by adjusting our operating income to add certain items, as set forth in the reconciliation table under “Adjustments to reported operating, and net income (non-GAAP)” below. Some of these items may recur. We calculate our adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders by adjusting our net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders to add certain items, as set forth in the reconciliation table under “Adjustments to reported operating, and net income (non-GAAP)” below, excluding the total tax impact of such adjustments. We calculate our diluted adjusted earnings per share by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted-average number of diluted ordinary shares outstanding. Our adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before financing expenses, net, taxes on income, share in earnings of equity-accounted investees, depreciation and amortization, and certain adjustments presented in the reconciliation table under “Consolidated adjusted EBITDA, and diluted adjusted Earnings Per Share for the periods of activity” below, which were adjusted for in calculating the adjusted operating income.

You should not view adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share or adjusted EBITDA as a substitute for operating income or net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders determined in accordance with IFRS, and you should note that our definitions of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA may differ from those used by other companies. Additionally, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which may reduce the usefulness of our non-IFRS financial measures as tools for comparison. However, we believe adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operations. Our management uses these non-IFRS measures to evaluate the Company’s business strategies and management performance. We believe that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors because they improve the comparability of our financial results between periods and provide for greater transparency of key measures used to evaluate our performance.

(1a) The Company only provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to GAAP net income (loss), due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting, and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, in particular, because special items such as restructuring, litigation, and other matters, used to calculate projected net income (loss) vary dramatically based on actual events, the Company is not able to forecast on a GAAP basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a GAAP calculation of projected net income (loss) at this time. The amount of these deductions may be material and therefore could result in projected GAAP net income (loss) being materially less than projected adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP). The guidance speaks only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news release or to reflect actual outcomes, unless required by law. The Company provides guidance for consolidated adjusted EBITDA and for its Potash business the company provides sales volumes guidance. The Company believes this information provides greater transparency, as the price of potash has stabilized over the past few years and consolidated adjusted EBITDA is now a more relevant metric for investors to evaluate the company’s performance and compare its financial results between periods.

We present a discussion in the period-to-period comparisons of the primary drivers of change in the Company’s results of operations. This discussion is based in part on management’s best estimates of the impact of the main trends on our businesses. We have based the following discussion on our financial statements. You should read such discussion together with our financial statements.

Consolidated Results Analysis

Results analysis for the period October – December 2025

Quantity – The negative impact on operating income was due to lower sales volumes of potash, magnesium, phosphate fertilizers and FertilizerpluS products. This was partially offset by higher sales volumes of white phosphoric acid (WPA) and food specialties.

Price – The positive impact on operating income was primarily related to an increase of $63 in the potash price (CIF) per tonne, as well as higher selling prices for bromine-based industrial solutions, bromine-based flame retardants, phosphate fertilizers, specialty agriculture products and FertilizerpluS products. This was partially offset by lower selling prices for food specialties.

Exchange rates – The unfavorable impact on operating income was mainly due to higher operational costs resulting from the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the euro, the Israeli shekel and the Brazilian real against the US dollar, which outweighed the positive impact on sales from the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the euro and the Brazilian real against the US dollar.

Raw materials – The negative impact on operating income was due to higher costs of sulphur, commodity fertilizers and nitrogen. This was partially offset by lower costs of ammonia.

Operating and other expenses – The positive impact on operating income was primarily related to lower operational costs.

Security situation in Israel

In October 2023, the Israeli government declared a state of war in response to attacks on its civilians in the southern region of the country, which subsequently escalated to other areas. On October 9, 2025, Israel signed a ceasefire agreement. The security situation over the past two years has created several challenges, including disruptions to supply chains and shipping routes, personnel shortages due to recurring rounds of mobilization for reserve duty, additional costs to protect Company sites/assets, effects of reluctance to perform contractual obligations in Israel during hostilities, various bans and limitations on trade and cooperation with Israel related entities, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the Israeli shekel. Additionally, ongoing regional tensions – including Houthis threats to commercial vessels – continue to disrupt shipping routes and commercial shipping arrangements, leading to increased shipping costs.

We continue to take measures to ensure the safety of our employees and business partners, as well as the communities in which we operate. We have also implemented supportive measures to accommodate those of our employees who are called for reserve duty, aiming to minimize any potential impact on our business, and to avoid disruptions to production activities at our facilities in Israel.

We continuously monitor developments and will take all necessary actions to minimize any negative consequences to our operations and assets. As of the reporting date, the security situation has not had a material impact on our business results. However, its future effects remain uncertain due to the unpredictable nature and duration of the conflict.
