Quantity – The positive impact on operating income was primarily related to an increase in sales volumes of bromine and phosphorus-based flame retardants,
specialty minerals products, elemental bromine, salts, phosphate-based food additives and turf and ornamental products. This impact was partially offset by lower sales volumes of potash, clear brine fluids, FertilizerpluS products and
phosphate fertilizers.
|
- |
Price – The negative impact on operating income was primarily related to a decrease of $45 in the price of potash (CIF) per tonne year-over-year, as well as a
decrease in selling prices of WPA, salts, phosphate-based food additives, bromine-based industrial solutions and FertilizerpluS products. This impact was partially offset by higher selling prices of specialty agriculture products and
phosphate fertilizers.
|
- |
Exchange rates – The favorable impact on operating income was mainly due to the positive impact of our hedging strategy on operational costs, which offset the
negative impact of the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the Israeli shekel against the US dollar. This impact was partially offset by a negative impact on sales resulting from the depreciation of the average exchange rate of the
Brazilian real against the US dollar, which exceeded the positive impact on operational costs.
|
- |
Raw materials – The positive impact on operating income was primarily due to lower costs of commodity fertilizers, caustic soda, potassium hydroxide (KOH), raw
material used in the production of industrial solutions products and nitrogen. This impact was partially offset by higher costs of sulphur.
|
- |
Transportation – The negative impact on operating income was due to an increase in marine and inland transportation costs.
|

Quantity – The positive impact on operating income was primarily related to an increase in sales volumes of bromine-based flame retardants, elemental bromine,
magnesium, specialty agriculture products, turf and ornamental products, MAP used as raw materials for energy storage solutions and salts. This impact was partially offset by lower sales volumes of potash, clear brine fluids,
phosphorus-based industrial solutions and phosphate fertilizers.
|
- |
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 WPA, MAP used as raw materials for energy storage solutions, FertilizerpluS and specialty agriculture products, turf and ornamental products, elemental bromine, bromine-based flame retardants, specialty
minerals products, phosphorus-based flame retardants, salts and phosphate-based food additives. This impact was partially offset by higher selling prices 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

Elemental bromine sales increased year-over-year as higher volumes offset lower prices.
|
• |
Bromine-based flame retardants sales increased year-over-year, with higher volumes, mainly in Asia and Europe, partially offset by lower prices, as demand in the
electronics and construction end-markets remained weak.
|
• |
Phosphorus-based flame retardants sales increased year-over-year, with higher volumes, mainly in Europe, partially offset by lower prices, as demand in the construction
end-markets remained soft.
|
• |
Clear brine fluids sales decreased year-over-year due to lower demand, mainly in the Eastern Hemisphere, which resulted in lower volumes.
|
• |
Specialty minerals sales increased year-over-year, as supply interruptions in the Far East increased demand, which resulted in higher sales volumes of KCL, Magnesium
Chloride and other Magnesia products for industrial applications. This increase was partially offset by lower prices.

Production – Production was 16 thousand tonnes lower year-over-year, as higher production quantities totaling 60 thousand tonnes at our site in Spain were offset
by lower production quantities of 76 thousand tonnes at our site in the Dead Sea, mainly due to operational challenges and war related issues.
|
- |
Sales – The quantity of potash sold was 220 thousand tonnes lower year-over-year mainly due to decreased sales volumes in China, Europe and Brazil, partially
offset by higher sales volumes in India and the US.
|
- |
Production – Production was 43 thousand tonnes higher year-over-year, mainly due to operational improvements in Spain, which outweighed operational challenges in
the Dead Sea.
|
- |
Sales – The quantity of potash sold was 207 thousand tonnes lower year-over-year, mainly due to decreased sales volumes in China and India, partially offset by

Quantity – The negative impact on operating income was primarily related to a decrease in sales volumes of potash to China, Brazil, and Europe, partially offset
by higher sales volumes to India and the US. The decrease in sales volumes to China was partially due to a deferral of approximately 120 thousand tonnes, as a
result of war-related production and logistics challenges.
|
- |
Price – The negative impact on operating income resulted primarily from a decrease of $45 in the potash price (CIF) per tonne, year-over-year.
|
- |
Exchange rates – The favorable impact on operating income was due to a positive impact of our hedging strategy on operational costs, which offset the negative
impact of the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the Israeli shekel against the US dollar, as well as a positive impact on sales resulting from the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the euro against the US dollar.
|
- |
Transportation – The negative impact on operating income was primarily due to an increase in marine and inland costs.
|
- |
Operating and other expenses – The positive impact on operating income was primarily related to lower operational costs.

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 Q3 2024, Phosphate Specialties comprised $331 million of segment sales, $49 million of operating income, $12 million of D&A and represented $61 million of
EBITDA, while Phosphate Commodities comprised $246 million of segment sales, $51 million of operating income, $28 million of D&A and represented $79 million of EBITDA.
|
• |
Phosphate prices increased in the third quarter due to tight stock positions in key markets, strategic allocation decisions and prevailing policies. Key benchmarks were
on average 8% higher quarter-over-quarter, with Indian prices 19% higher during the quarter.
|
• |
Developments in key markets are described in detail below:
|
- |
Chinese DAP prices rose by $75/t in the third quarter, as a lack of guidance from the government led to speculation over availability. Exports were limited through the
first quarter of 2024 but firmed in the second and third quarters, as exports to India were redirected to higher paying markets, such as Latin America and other parts of Asia. Consequently, the year-to-date gap compared to 2023 has
narrowed.
|
- |
Although India succeeded in lowering prices during the second quarter, the absence of Chinese supplies due to Chinese export policy, resulted in Indian arrivals
decreasing by half to 2.5Mt year-over-year, and stocks falling from 2.7Mt to 1.5Mt. This resulted in a $101 increase in DAP prices, as India had to raise its bids to draw suppliers away from higher-paying markets. By the end of the quarter,
DAP FOB India was assessed at $640/mt.
|
- |
US phosphate demand continued to increase into the third quarter as farmers aimed to maximize soy and corn planting for the 2024/25 season. With local production unable
to keep up, and countervailing duties (CVDs) still limiting supply, imports had to cover the shortfall. As a result, processed phosphate arrivals remained elevated, despite the substantial imports that already occurred during the first
quarter. This maintained the DAP FOB NOLA price at an average of $602/mt, $13/mt higher than the previous quarter's average.
|
- |
In Brazil, importers faced challenges in securing adequate supplies of MAP/NPS ahead of the Safra 2025 planting season. With a positive domestic soy and corn production
forecast, buyers procured any available product, including additional superphosphate. This maintained MAP prices at an average of $635/mt throughout the quarter, $54/mt higher than the previous quarter's average.
|
• |
Indian phosphoric acid prices are negotiated on a quarterly basis. The third quarter price settled at $950/t P2O5, $2 higher than the second quarter of 2024. For the
fourth quarter, the price settled at $1,060/t, up by $110/t.
|
• |
Sulphur FOB Middle East prices concluded the third quarter at $127/t, reflecting a $45 increase from prevailing levels at the end of the second quarter of 2024. This is
attributed to reduced export volumes from the Middle East, shipment delays from Vancouver, and positive sentiment on the demand side.
|
• |
Food specialties volumes increased year-over-year while global revenue declined due to lower prices in line with decreasing input costs. Higher revenues were recorded in
industrial salts compared to the previous year, with volume increases in all major regions, partially offset by price adjustments reflecting decreasing input costs.
|
• |
Sales of white phosphoric acid (WPA) decreased year-over-year due to lower selling prices in Europe as well as North and South America, partially offset by increased
volumes in Europe and North America.
|
• |
Sales of battery materials in Asia increased year-over-year in line with increased market demand. In addition, sales to a new customer in South America began in the
third quarter as the Company continues to execute its long-term strategy to provide commercial solutions for the energy storage systems (ESS) market.

Note 18 to the Annual Financial Statements provides disclosure on an application for a class action against the Company, the Israel Corporation, and the controlling
shareholder of Israel Corporation (hereinafter – the Respondents), regarding a series of allegations pertaining to, among other things, the alleged misleading and alleged violation of the Company’s reporting and disclosure obligations in
the matter of the implications of the royalties claim filed in 2011, which had been conducted and settled via arbitration. In October 2024, the Tel Aviv District Court rejected this motion, including the applicant’s claim of misleading
Company reports, ruling that no damage had been caused, and that the motion’s claims exceeded their statutes of limitations. The Court also ordered the plaintiff to cover part of the Respondents’ expenses, on the grounds that after
investigation, the motion was found to be baseless and had multiple difficulties.
|
2. |
Further to Note 18 to the Annual Financial Statements regarding DSW’s concession to produce minerals and chemicals from the Dead Sea, on September 16, 2024, a draft
report was published by Israel’s Accountant General, for public comments, regarding the transition of ICL’s existing concession in 2030 and the grant, by the State, of a new concession in 2030. The draft report is not a binding document,
and its conclusions may change following public comments and the receipt of additional information.

3. |
Note 18 to the Annual Financial Statements provides disclosure regarding the approval of a class action concerning a limited class constituting visitors at the Bokek
stream, following the application for certification of a class action filed against Rotem Israel Ltd. and Periclase, for environmental hazards which were allegedly the result of the leakage of wastewater to the groundwater aquifer in the
vicinity of the Bokek stream which began in the 1970s, while the Company was government owned. In accordance with the Court motion from April, the State filed its response to the motions for temporary relief measures in September.
According to the response, a distinction must be made between the question of responsibility and the question of how the remedies for formulating the rehabilitation solutions are being carried out, with the latter not being under the
Court’s jurisdiction but rather in the hands of the State’s certified parties. Regarding the question of responsibility, the State supports the plaintiff’ position. It was ruled that the evidentiary hearings will be held from May to July
2025.
