Quantity – The positive impact on operating income was primarily related to an increase in sales volumes of bromine-based flame retardants,
elemental bromine, specialty agriculture and FertilizerpluS products, turf and ornamental products, magnesium, phosphate fertilizers, white phosphoric acid (WPA), and salts. This impact was partially offset by lower sales volumes of potash.
|
- |
Price – The negative impact on operating income was primarily related to a decrease of $103 in the price of potash (CIF) per tonne
year-over-year, as well as a decrease in selling prices of magnesium, WPA, phosphate-based food additives, salts, bromine and phosphorus-based flame retardants, bromine-based industrial solutions, specialty minerals products, specialty
agriculture and FertilizerpluS products. This impact was partially offset by higher sales price of phosphate fertilizers.
|
- |
Exchange rates – The favorable impact on operating income was due to the positive impact on operational costs resulting from the depreciation
of the average exchange rate of the Israeli shekel, the Brazilian real, the euro, and the Chinese yuan against the US dollar, partially offset by a negative impact on sales resulting from the depreciation of the average exchange rate of the
Brazilian real and the Chinese yuan against the US dollar.
|
- |
Raw materials – The positive impact on operating income was primarily due to the lower costs of sulphur, commodity fertilizers, potassium
hydroxide (KOH), caustic soda, and ammonia.
|
- |

In alignment with the Company’s efficiency plan, which includes a change of reporting responsibilities as of January 2024, the results of a
non-phosphate related business were allocated from the Phosphate Solutions segment to Other Activities. Comparative figures have been restated to reflect the organizational change in the reportable segments.
|
(2) |
For Q2 2024, Phosphate Specialties comprised $325 million of segment sales, $46 million of operating income, $11 million of D&A and represented
$57 million of EBITDA, while Phosphate Commodities comprised $247 million of segment sales, $47 million of operating income, $42 million of D&A and represented $89 million of EBITDA.
|
• |
Phosphate prices began the quarter stable-to-weak but firmed up late in the quarter driven by a renewed lack of availability and tight stocks.
Whereas key benchmarks were 2% lower quarter-over-quarter, the trend turned increasingly positive through June 2024.
|
• |
Developments in key markets are described in detail below:
|
- |
Chinese export DAP prices fell by $68/t by the end of May, as product allocations were shifted from domestic to international markets late in the
first quarter, and export availability improved. A similar but more pronounced trend on nitrogen led to the rapid depletion of local urea stocks and a renewal of local inflationary concerns. This prompted the government to burden exports,
and towards the end of the quarter, global prices began to recover.
|
- |
As a result of the reduced phosphate subsidy on DAP imports in the first quarter, Indian importers managed to decrease prices early in the second
quarter. The improved Chinese availability spurred competition and lowered DAP CFR India prices. This improved distribution affordability and increased buying interest. However, as Chinese export inspections started to slow, prices began to
recover and by the end of the quarter, the DAP CFR India price reached $539/mt.
|
- |
Following an active first quarter, US imports slowed in April and May as planting seasons began. Lower corn prices led the USDA (United States
Department of Agriculture) to cut its planting acreage to just 90M (5M lower than last year). This weighed on sentiment and subsequently reduced fertilizer prices. DAP FOB Nola decreased to $565/mt by mid-May. Prices subsequently rose by
$39/mt by the end of the quarter, due to improved corn planting estimates (+1.5M acres) and tight DAP/MAP availability.
|
- |
For much of the first half of 2024, Brazilian MAP prices remained steady, trading between $560 and $575/t. However, with MAP imports running behind
2023, limited supplies from Morocco and the US, and the prospect of a large soybean area increase for Safra 2024/25, phosphate prices began to rise in June, ending the quarter with an MAP CFR Brazil price of $615/t.
|
• |
Indian phosphoric acid prices are negotiated on a quarterly basis. The second quarter price was agreed at $948/t P2O5, $20 lower than the first
quarter of 2024.
|
• |
Sulphur FOB Middle East prices ended the second quarter at $82/t, similar to prevailing levels at the end of the first quarter.
|
• |
While food specialties volumes increased year-over-year, global revenue declined due to lower prices in line with decreasing input costs. Industrial
salts revenue saw a downturn compared to the previous year, driven by price adjustments reflecting decreasing input costs, partly offset by a year-over-year volume increase noticeable in Europe.
|
• |
Sales of white phosphoric acid (WPA) decreased year-over-year due to decreased selling prices in all regions, partially offset by an increase in
volumes, especially in Europe and Asia.
|
• |
Sales of battery materials in Asia increased year-over-year as the Company continues to execute its long-term strategy to provide commercial
solutions for the energy storage systems (ESS) market. The increase in sales was driven mainly by higher sales volumes.

Biostimulants and water-soluble fertilizers, with increased demand in Brazil, China and India.
|
• |
Turf and Ornamental (T&O): Sales increased year-over-year, primarily due to higher sales of ornamental horticulture, with increased demand in
all regions, mainly in CRF Ornamental and SRF. However, Turf and landscape sales slightly decreased as higher volumes, mostly in CRF Turf, were unable to offset lower prices.
|
• |
As part of the Company’s goal to expand its Growing Solutions’ product offerings, in July 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Custom Ag
Formulators (hereinafter - CAF), a North American provider of customized agriculture formulations and products for growers. CAF offers a diverse assortment of liquid adjuvants and enhanced nutrients, as well as various other specialty
products.
