Focused improvements yield results: Yara reports solid Q3 performance
Yara reports third quarter 2025 EBITDA excluding special items1 of USD 804 million compared with USD 585 million in third quarter 2024. Net income was USD 320 million compared with USD 286 million a year earlier.
Third quarter 2025 highlights:
- EBITDA excl. special items1 of 804 MUSD, up 38% from 3Q24
- Increasing returns through continued improvement focus and cost reductions, supported by favorable market conditions
- Record high production2 and strong commercial performance
- YTD 2025 adjusted earnings per share3 at 3.25 USD – up from 1.37 USD last year
“Our continuous focus on improvement is delivering solid results, and we are pleased to report another strong operational quarter. This quarter’s performance reflects higher margins, strong commercial execution, and record-breaking production levels for the third consecutive quarter. In parallel, we are ahead of schedule in our cost reduction program, further strengthening our returns,” said Svein Tore Holsether, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Yara makes progress on the improvement agenda to strengthen financial returns by driving sustainable profitability in core operations and pursuing value-accretive growth, supported by strict capital discipline. The group is prioritizing cash conversion by allocating resources to high-return core assets while scaling back non-core and lower-yield activities, ensuring increased capital productivity.
With the combination of cost reduction, portfolio optimization and a tightening nitrogen market, Yara’s financial position is set to strengthen with increased free cash flow and sustainable profitability. Net income year-to-date 2025 is USD 1,028 million, up from USD 306 million in 2024. While this is supported by a non-cash net foreign currency gain of USD 386 million, it also clearly demonstrates that Yara’s improvement focus yields increased results. This will enable improved shareholder returns through cash distributions and re-investment in value-accretive growth opportunities subject to double digit returns – such as renewing our ammonia portfolio by accessing low-cost ammonia through potential equity positions the US ammonia projects.
