ADAMA Provides Financial Performance Estimation for the First Half of 2025

TEL AVIV, Israel and BEIJING, July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ADAMA Ltd. (the "Company") (SZSE: 000553), today provided an estimate regarding its financial performance for the first half of 2025. The Company saw further positive impact of its 'Fight Forward' strategic transformation plan, with improvements in key financial metrics.

Sales

Supported by the growth of revenues in the second quarter of 2025, ADAMA is expecting to report flat sales for the first half of 2025 (0% in USD, 1% in RMB), compared to the first half of 2024. The stabilization of revenues in H1 2025 was driven by volume growth due to improved channel inventories, which offset lower prices. Prices were weak mainly due to low prices of active ingredients in light of overcapacity, as well as a higher interest rate ‎environment and comparably low commodity prices, which put pressure on distributors and farmers.

Adjusted EBITDA and Net Profit

For the first half of 2025, the Company is expecting to report an increase in adjusted EBITDA and in its margin, in comparison to the first half of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA and its margin improved due to an increase in the gross profit and its margin, mainly reflecting the positive impact of lower costs of new inventory sold and higher volumes.

The Company expects to report an adjusted net profit in the range of USD 47 million to 54 million for the first half of 2025, compared to a loss of USD 71 million for the first half of 2024. The profit was due to a higher adjusted operating profit and lower tax and financial expenses.

Adjusted Net profit excludes the impact of transitory, non-operational or non-cash items, mainly including:

  i.  Non-cash amortization charges in respect of transfer assets received from Syngenta related to the 2017 ChemChina-Syngenta acquisition;

  ii.  Non-cash amortization net charges related to intangible assets created as part of the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) on acquisitions, with no impact on the ongoing performance of the companies acquired;

  iii.  Restructuring and advisory costs incurred as part of the continued implementation of the Fight Forward transformation plan;

  iv.  Provision of remediation costs by an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Company for its plant in Israel;

  v.  Financial expenses including losses from repurchase of debentures at a premium by a wholly controlled subsidiary of the Company.

Reported EBITDA and Net Loss

The Company expects a higher reported EBITDA and its margin and a narrowed reported net loss (which include the impact of the above adjusted items) for the first half of 2025 compared to 2024. This expectation is mainly due to higher reported operating profit and lower tax expenses despite an increase in financial expenses.

The estimated results of the Company are a preliminary estimation of the Company and have not been audited or reviewed by certified accountants. However, the Company and the external auditor have preliminarily communicated regarding relevant matters of the performance estimation and have no material disagreement. These estimations may change as a result of the further processing and analysis of the financial data that the Company will perform for the preparation of its financial statements, which are expected to be released after trading hours on August 26, 2025.

Investors are reminded to exercise caution when making investment decisions.
