Second quarter 2025 highlights:

- Increased margins driven by commercial performance, record-high production2 and supportive market fundamentals
- Cost and capex reduction program ahead of schedule
- 1H adjusted earnings per share3 at 1.92 USD – up from 0.64 USD last year
“We are pleased to report continued improvement in our results, driven by increased margins, strong commercial execution and another quarter of all-time high production performance. At the same time, we are ahead of plan in our cost and capex reduction program,” said Svein Tore Holsether, President and Chief Executive Officer.
With the combination of cost reduction, portfolio optimization and a tightening nitrogen markets, Yara’s financial position is set to strengthen with increased free cash flow and sustained profitability. This will enable improved shareholder returns, both through direct cash distributions and re-investment in value-accretive growth opportunities – such as renewing our ammonia portfolio through ammonia projects in the US.
“Through disciplined capital allocation and a strong focus on resource efficiency, Yara continues to enhance returns. Going forward, we continue to take steps to expand margins by diversifying energy costs and leveraging scale and operational efficiencies across our global network,” said Holsether.
