]]>Abu Dhabi, UAE – February 11, 2026: Fertiglobe (the “Company”) (ADX: FERTIGLB), the world’s largest seaborne exporter of urea and net ammonia combined, the largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in the Middle East and North Africa region, and the exclusive ammonia platform of ADNOC and XRG, today announced its financial results for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended 31 December 2025 (“Q4 2025” and “FY 2025”). In Q4 2025, Fertiglobe reported strong revenues of $808 million, reflecting a 73% increase year-over-year (Y-o-Y), while adjusted EBITDA increased 88% Y-o-Y to $297 million, and adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders of $107 million grew significantly by 154% Y-o-Y. In 2025, revenues increased 41% Y-o-Y to $2.8 billion, while adjusted EBITDA rose 57% Y-o-Y to $1.02 billion, and adjusted attributable net profit of $325 million was 87% higher Y-o-Y.
“I am proud to close our first full year under ADNOC’s majority ownership through XRG with strong operational and financial momentum. We delivered a robust 57% Y-o-Y growth in EBITDA to above $1 billion, underscoring disciplined execution of the Grow 2030 strategy, including efficiency improvements, record production levels at several lines in Algeria and in EFC-2, meaningful cost reductions, and focused portfolio expansion. In less than a year, we have already activated more than 40% of our 2030 growth target, translating our strategy into tangible value creation through asset optimization and disciplined, high-return expansion into new markets and products.
With ADNOC’s support, we continued to strengthen our industrial and financial foundations. We have implemented 99% of our cost optimization targets, advanced the Manufacturing Improvement Plan with 46% of planned reliability and energy efficiency gains achieved, and broadened our global footprint through selective strategic investments, including the acquisition of Wengfu Australia. At the same time, the scale up of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) and Automotive Grade Urea (AGU) production in Egypt and the UAE is building more resilient, higher margin, non-seasonal revenue streams in the EU and UAE, respectively.
Fertiglobe’s Board of Directors proposed H2 2025 dividends of $135 million (6.1 fils per share), leading to total dividends of $260 million for 2025, alongside $74 million of share buybacks executed to date. This brings total 2025 capital return to shareholders to $334 million, consistent with our policy to return all excess free cash flows to shareholders, implying competitive total returns to shareholders of over 5%.
Our commercial agility in navigating evolving market dynamics while capturing higher quartile netbacks across the sales book reflects the strength of our experienced team and our geographically diversified, resilient asset base. We aim to continue positioning our portfolio strategically to capitalize on the tight urea and ammonia markets supporting healthy price levels, with Egypt FOB urea prices currently above $500/t and NW Europe ammonia prices at $670/t. In addition, our Egypt Basic Industries Corporation (EBIC) facility has recently optimized its sales strategy to reduce the reliance on traders, unlocking higher ammonia margins.
Our recent collaboration with Covestro and TA’ZIZ positions Fertiglobe uniquely to anchor long-term demand, optimize infrastructure and advance sustainable downstream solutions, supporting disciplined growth and durable returns, while leveraging synergies across the XRG group for full value chain integration.
Fertiglobe’s outstanding safety performance in 2025 reflects the transformation underway across both occupational and process safety as we advance toward zero incidents and accelerate progress across the business, and I would like to thank the Fertiglobe team whose exceptional performance and unwavering commitment underpin the results we reported today.”
Fertiglobe’s Board of Directors recommends H2 2025 dividends of $135 million (6.1 fils per share), subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). This leads to total dividends of $260 million in 2025, or total capital returns to shareholders of $334 million (incl. $74 million share buybacks to date), implying a highly competitive total return to shareholders of over 5%.
Fertiglobe paid or committed to pay $2.9 billion in capital returns to shareholders since IPO, including execution on its 2.5% share buyback program, aimed at opportunistically capitalizing on the stock’s attractive valuation. As of 10 February 2026, Fertiglobe repurchased 111 million shares, representing 1.34% of total outstanding shares at the equivalent of $74 million.
As of 31 December 2025, Fertiglobe reported a net debt position of $1,006 million, down from $1,048 million as of 31 December 2024, and implying consolidated net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA of 1.0x. Fertiglobe’s financial position enables the company to effectively growth investments and shareholder distributions, supported by robust free cash flow generation and a solid balance sheet.

]]>The post Fertiglobe, Covestro, and TA’ZIZ sign Memorandum of Understanding to explore strategic ammonia collaboration first appeared on Fertiglobe.
]]>Abu Dhabi, UAE – February 6, 2026: On the occasion of the visit of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to the United Arab Emirates, Covestro, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quality polymer materials, Fertiglobe, the world’s largest seaborne exporter of urea and ammonia and TA’ZIZ, a world-scale chemicals ecosystem being developed in Abu Dhabi, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore collaboration across the ammonia and nitric acid value chains. The MoU reflects the parties’ shared interest in assessing both near-term supply solutions and longer-term opportunities supporting the transition toward lower-carbon production pathways. This collaboration follows the closing of XRG’s acquisition of Covestro in December 2025 and reflects the additional opportunities enabled by Covestro and Fertiglobe operating within XRG’s Global Chemicals platform, with expanded international reach.
Under the MoU, Covestro and Fertiglobe intend to explore short-term ammonia supply opportunities from Fertiglobe’s facilities to Covestro’s sites in China and the United States. In parallel, they will assess longer-term supply options to sites in Europe, China and the United States, based on low-carbon ammonia produced using carbon capture technologies, as well as green ammonia from renewable sources, including projects developed by Fertiglobe. Ammonia is a key raw material for Covestro’s production of MDI (diphenylmethane diisocyanate) and TDI (toluene diisocyanate), essential components for polyurethane hard and soft foams.
“The potential strategic supply arrangement with Fertiglobe could strengthen our access to a critical raw material while supporting the gradual transition towards lower-carbon production pathways,” said Dr. Markus Steilemann, CEO of Covestro. “Reliable low-carbon ammonia supply enhances operational flexibility across our sites and helps manage long-term cost and availability risks. At the same time, the agreement is a first concrete step in translating our partnership with XRG into tangible business impact.”
“We see strong potential in combining our ammonia production portfolio with Covestro‘s industrial expertise and global footprint,” said Ahmed El-Hoshy, CEO of Fertiglobe. “The Memorandum of Understanding creates a structured basis to assess concrete projects and opportunities – from supply and infrastructure to downstream applications.”
“This Memorandum of Understanding highlights the strategic potential of the UAE’s expanding chemicals landscape,” said Mashal Saoud Al Kindi, CEO of TA’ZIZ. “Together with Covestro and Fertiglobe, we see significant growth opportunities across the ammonia value chain, underpinned by TA’ZIZ’s role in building an ecosystem that enables sustainable growth, attracts global partners, and positions the UAE at the forefront of future chemical production.”
Beyond supply arrangements, the parties, including TA’ZIZ, will also evaluate enabling infrastructure facilities such as storage and transport solutions, as well as potential business opportunities across the entire ammonia value chain, globally and in the United Arab Emirates.

]]>Abu Dhabi, UAE – November 10, 2025: Fertiglobe (the “Company”) (ADX: FERTIGLB), the world’s largest seaborne exporter of urea and net ammonia combined, the largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in the Middle East and North Africa region, and the exclusive ammonia platform of ADNOC and XRG, today announced its financial results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended 30 September 2025 (“Q3 2025” and “9M 2025”). In the third quarter, Fertiglobe reported strong revenues of $758 million, reflecting a 53% increase year-over-year (Y-o-Y), while adjusted EBITDA increased 69% Y-o-Y to $286 million, and adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders of $134 million increased significantly versus $28 million in the same period last year.
Ahmed El-Hoshy, CEO of Fertiglobe, commented:
“I am proud of Fertiglobe’s strong third quarter performance, underscoring the resilience of our integrated platform and reflecting our commercial agility and cost discipline in a dynamic market environment. Despite gas supply curtailments in Egypt, we capitalized on tight global urea markets, with prices increasing 16% Q-o-Q and 33% Y-o-Y to $474/t (FOB Egypt) on average in Q3 2025. During the quarter, we reached record urea production volumes in Egypt, reflecting progress on the strategic pillar of operational excellence, leading to optimized margins and robust results.
I am particularly pleased with the progress achieved under our ‘Grow 2030 Strategy’, with approximately 38%1 of our announced growth targets actioned within less than six months, highlighting the strength of our execution and the potential for further upside. We made strong progress on our Manufacturing Improvement Plan (MIP), with actioned initiatives representing 43% of communicated targets to deliver $110-120 million incremental EBITDA by 2028 as we continue to capture energy and production efficiencies. Additionally, with ADNOC’s support to reduce fixed costs by $19 million on a run rate basis starting 1 September 2025, we are now 84% advanced on our cost reduction plan, delivering $46 million in savings by the end of Q3 2025. The completion of the Wengfu Australia acquisition in October 2025 (where the entity is now independently funded having settled its parent funding within just two months) and the scaling of DEF and AGU capacity in Egypt and the UAE are expected to unlock an additional $45 million of incremental annual EBITDA by 2030. Additionally, our Commercial Excellence program has allowed us to capture higher price quartiles on our urea sales book, achieving higher premiums over benchmarks year-to-date.
We remain focused on delivering our 2030 growth ambitions, supported by our majority shareholder and our strong operational platform. With the continued trust of our employees, partners, and shareholders, Fertiglobe is well positioned to drive long-term growth and value.”
In addition to H1 2025 dividends of $125 million, Fertiglobe’s management guided for H2 2025 dividends of at least $100 million, with the exact amount to be confirmed with FY 2025 results in February 2026. Including share buybacks completed to date, total capital returns to shareholders would be at least $287 million for 2025, implying a highly competitive total return to shareholders of at least 5%.
Fertiglobe paid and committed to $2.8 billion2 in capital returns to shareholders since IPO, including execution on its 2.5% share buyback program, aimed at opportunistically capitalizing on the stock’s attractive valuation. As of 7 November 2025, Fertiglobe repurchased 93.8 million shares, representing 1.13% of total outstanding shares for $62 million.
As of 30 September 2025, Fertiglobe reported a net debt position of $984 million, down from $1,048 million in 31 December 2024, and implying consolidated net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA of 1.1x. This strong financial position enables the company to effectively balance growth investments and shareholder distributions, supported by robust free cash flow generation and a solid balance sheet.
During Q3 2025, Fertiglobe reached a comprehensive settlement with the Egyptian Tax Authorities (“ETA”) for the Egyptian Fertilizer Company (EFC). Under the terms of the settlement, the group and the ETA agreed on the deductibility of $720 million of goodwill for income tax purposes. As part of the agreement, the Group made a cash tax payment of $119 million relating to the prior periods (2019 – 2024) and reversed a portion of the previously recognized Uncertain Tax Position (“UTP”) of $230 million, which had conservatively assumed no goodwill. Reported net profit for Q3 2025 and 9M 2025 includes a $111 million provision reversal3. Including the $31 million deferred tax asset, the overall gain is $142 million.

]]>Abu Dhabi, UAE – October 8, 2025: Fertiglobe (the “Company”) (ADX: FERTIGLB), the world’s largest seaborne exporter of urea and net ammonia combined, the largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in the Middle East and North Africa region, and the exclusive ammonia platform of ADNOC and XRG, announced today the Board of Directors’ (BoD) approval of an interim cash dividend for H1 2025 of $125 million, equivalent to 5.58 fils per share, compared to earlier guidance of at least $100 million. This brings total return of capital to shareholders for H1 2025 to $156 million, including $31 million in share buybacks as of 30 June 2025. The record date for the H1 2025 dividend will be on 17 October 2025, with payment at the end of October 2025. Fertiglobe also commits to minimum dividends of $100 million for H2 2025 (4.46 fils per share), with the exact amount to be confirmed with full year results. This brings total return of capital to shareholders to at least $277 million for 2025, including $52 million share buybacks completed to 30 September 2025, and to $2.8 billion since IPO.
Delivering on its “Grow 2030 Strategy”, Fertiglobe successfully implemented $19 million in fixed cost savings with ADNOC’s support as of 1 September 2025, leading to an EPS accretion of 9% on a run-rate basis, forming the majority of the $15-21 million savings targeted for 2025 and bringing total cost savings implemented to $46 million or 84% of the announced target.

It also signed exclusivity agreements and established production capacity for Automotive Grade Urea (AGU) in Egypt into European markets, with potential to deliver a combined annual EBITDA uplift of at least $22 million by 20303.
Driven by the robust pricing backdrop for nitrogen products in recent weeks on the back of tight supply and demand conditions, and the progress made on the company’s key strategic pillars, Fertiglobe’s management expects Q3 2025 adjusted EBITDA to be at least $250 million, well above Q2 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $176 million.
Ahmed El-Hoshy, Chief Executive Officer of Fertiglobe, commented: “We are pleased to reaffirm our commitment to shareholder value creation through the minimum $277 million return of capital for 2025 confirmed today, offering one of the most compelling yields in our industry and market, supported by ADNOC and our exceptional team. I am proud of the swift progress we have delivered against our “Grow 2030 Strategy”, including the closing of the Wengfu Australia’s distribution asset acquisition, where payback is expected in less than 4 months, and the cost reduction measures implemented with the support of our parent. Additionally, we have scaled our AdBlue capacity in the UAE, entered into exclusivity agreements and established production of AGU in Egypt for export into European markets. Collectively, the implemented initiatives are expected to contribute c.$91 million in annual EBITDA by 20303, reflecting c.25% of the targeted growth, and we remain focused on delivering further value in the months ahead.”
In line with the company’s announced Manufacturing Improvement Plan (MIP) aimed at increasing production and energy efficiency, with potential to add $110-120 million of run rate EBITDA by 20283, Fertiglobe has successfully commissioned a Hydrogen Recovery Unit (HRU) in the UAE. The project delivers an annual IRR of over 25%, increasing ammonia production by up to 6% while reducing CO₂ emissions, and aligns well with our commitment to fostering sustainable growth.
Furthermore, as part of the MIP, Fertiglobe emphasizes its focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI), which alone is expected to unlock at least $25 million of incremental EBITDA by 2030 via asset optimization, anomaly detection and predictive maintenance, reflecting a $20 million increase compared to the previously announced targets3, with potential for further value creation resulting from ongoing initiatives.

Abu Dhabi, UAE – 1 October 2025: Fertiglobe (the “Company”) (ADX: FERTIGLB), the world’s largest seaborne exporter of urea and net ammonia combined, the largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in the Middle East and North Africa region, and the exclusive ammonia platform of ADNOC and XRG, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of the distribution assets of Wengfu Australia Pty Ltd. (Wengfu), a leading fertilizer distribution business. This acquisition reinforces Fertiglobe’s commitment to customer proximity in key markets, in line with its ‘Grow 2030 Strategy’.
The acquired assets are strategically located across five ports with eight warehouses, distributing 700-800kt of fertilizers annually to over 200 customers, with capacity to scale up to 1.1 million tons per annum. Fertiglobe Australia Pty Ltd. (Fertiglobe Australia), a fully owned subsidiary of Fertiglobe, has been established as the legal entity that will operate the acquired distribution assets under the Fertiglobe brand. Through this acquisition, Fertiglobe has become a leading supplier in one of the world’s fastest-growing agricultural markets, with assets recognized for their high-quality standards and a well-established supply chain.
The acquisition of Wengfu Australia’s distribution assets marks a significant step toward Fertiglobe’s ‘customer proximity’ pillar of its recently announced ‘Grow 2030 Strategy’ to become a global integrated nitrogen champion and is expected to generate incremental annual EBITDA of US$23 million by 2030. The acquisition is set to be financed using pre-arranged short-term financing facilities, with no impact on Fertiglobe’s dividend distribution capability and minimal impact on net debt/ LTM adjusted EBITDA (1.2x as of June 2025).
Ahmed El-Hoshy, Chief Executive Officer of Fertiglobe, commented: “We are pleased to complete the acquisition of Wengfu Australia’s distribution assets, a key step in advancing Fertiglobe’s ‘Grow 2030 Strategy’ and supporting our pillar of enhancing “customer proximity”. Building on our strong track record of collaboration with the Wengfu team, I have full confidence in their ability to continue delivering. Fertiglobe Australia’s platform across the Asia-Pacific region creates new opportunities, expands our customer base, and strengthens our supply chain efficiency. This acquisition diversifies our footprint, strengthens our resilience against seasonality and broadens our portfolio to include non-nitrogen fertilizers.”
Paul Osborne, recently appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Fertiglobe Australia, commented: “This exciting new chapter will unlock new opportunities for our business and benefit our customers through access to a strong global ecosystem. We are proud to contribute to Fertiglobe’s expansion into the Asia-Pacific region and to integrate with a company that shares our commitment to delivering value through global reach, local expertise, and a mutual vision for strategic growth.”
The transaction was completed following obtaining all customary, regulatory and legal approvals.

]]>Abu Dhabi, UAE – August 4, 2025: Fertiglobe (the “Company”) (ADX: FERTIGLB), the world’s largest seaborne exporter of urea and ammonia combined, the largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in the Middle East and North Africa region and ADNOC’s low carbon ammonia platform, today announced its financial results for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2025 (“Q2 2025” and “H1 2025”, respectively). In the second quarter of 2025, Fertiglobe reported revenue of $566 million, reflecting a 14% year-on-year increase, while adjusted EBITDA grew 26% to $176 million, with adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders stood at $12 million, representing a 68% increase compared to Q2 2024. In the first half of 2025, Fertiglobe reported revenue of $1.26 billion, reflecting a 20% increase year-on-year increase. Adjusted EBITDA for the period stood at $437 million, up 36% year-on-year, while adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders stood at $85 million, representing an 18% decline compared to the prior year, driven by a one-off FX gain in H1 2024.
“This quarter demonstrated Fertiglobe’s growing operational resilience, with an adjusted EBITDA increase of 26% Y-o-Y. Fertiglobe remains strategically placed to deliver robust performance and maintain operational continuity amid challenging conditions and I am proud of how our team continued to execute with agility, discipline, while maintaining an unwavering focus on safety and long-term value creation.
We capitalized on the downtime in Egypt to perform critical maintenance activities, successfully extending the turnaround cycle, with maintenance capex expected towards the lower end of our previous guidance at $145 million. Notably, excluding external factors and turnarounds, our own-produced sales volumes for the second quarter of 2025 would have been up 4% Y-o-Y, while H1 2025 own-produced sales volumes would have increased 7% Y-o-Y.
Building on our strengthened platform and robust commercial capabilities, Fertiglobe is poised to capitalize on the recent recovery in urea prices, which are approximately 20% above Q2 2025 levels0F. This pricing rebound is supported by robust import demand from key markets such as India and Ethiopia.
In line with our commitment to deliver value to our shareholders, we propose H1 2025 dividends of at least $100 million (4.4 fils per share), subject to Board approval in September 2025 with payment in October 2025. Including the $31 million worth of shares bought back in Q2 2025, Fertiglobe provides one of the highest total return metrics in the industry at the combined $131 million cash returns to shareholders for H1 2025. With the continued support of ADNOC, we remain confident in our strategic path to become a globally integrated nitrogen champion and creating long-term value for shareholders, while continuing to innovate and differentiate our solutions that support global food security and enable the energy transition.
We remain committed to our recently announced Grow 2030 Strategy to become a $1bn+ EBITDA global nitrogen champion by 2030. This strategy is anchored on four key pillars: operational excellence, customer proximity, nitrogen production expansion, and disciplined low-carbon growth. This includes Project Harvest – a 1 mtpa lower carbon ammonia facility currently under construction – which remains a core part of our decarbonization roadmap. In parallel, we continue to evaluate the development of Project Baytown in collaboration with ADNOC and ExxonMobil, as part of our broader efforts to advance low-carbon ammonia solutions globally.
While Fertiglobe remains dedicated to advancing its low-carbon project portfolio, the Company recognizes that the global low-carbon ammonia market remains in the early stages of development, with regulatory frameworks and demand signals continuing to evolve. As such, and in line with Fertiglobe’s disciplined approach to capital deployment across its low-carbon ammonia project pipeline, Fertiglobe has taken the decision to rephase Project Rabdan1F, a 1 mtpa low-carbon ammonia project and associated auto-thermal reformer. This decision reflects the Company’s prudent investment strategy and commitment to timing capital allocation effectively and is consistent with the broader objectives of the Grow 2030 Strategy, particularly its focus on disciplined low-carbon growth.
In addition, Fertiglobe expects its recently announced proposed acquisition of the distribution assets of Wengfu Australia to play a key role in strengthening its downstream presence in high-netback markets, in line with its strategic focus on customer proximity. Wengfu Australia’s distribution assets are also projected to enhance supply chain resilience and unlock long-term distribution synergies. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is anticipated to close in H2 2025.”

Project Rabdan is not included in Fertiglobe’s $1bn+ EBITDA target by 2030
In line with Fertiglobe’s commitment to creating and returning shareholder value, Fertiglobe’s management proposes H1 2025 dividends of at least $100 million, subject to Board approval in September 2025 with payment in October 2025. Additionally, Fertiglobe continues to execute on its announced 2.5% Share Buyback Program, aimed at opportunistically capitalizing on the stock’s attractive valuation. As of 1 August 2025, Fertiglobe repurchased 55 million shares, representing 0.66% of total outstanding shares.
As of 30 June 2025, Fertiglobe reported a net debt position of $909 million, implying a consolidated net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA ratio of 1.2x. This strong financial position enables the Company to effectively balance growth investments and shareholder distributions, supported by robust free cash flow generation and a solid balance sheet.
Fertiglobe is also set to realize $10 million of annual run rate interest savings in 2025, following credit rating upgrades by S&P, Fitch, and Moody’s and driven by ADNOC’s acquisition of a majority stake in Fertiglobe. These savings are further underpinned by the refinancing of our $300 million loan through the internal ADNOC bank and the recent repricing of a $1.1 billion term loan, supporting lower financing costs and contributing to earnings accretion in the quarter.

]]>The post Fertiglobe Reports Q1 2025 Results and Announces ‘Grow 2030 Strategy’, Targeting EBITDA of $1+ Billion by 2030 first appeared on Fertiglobe.
]]>Abu Dhabi, UAE – May 13, 2025: Fertiglobe (the “Company”) (ADX: FERTIGLB), the world’s largest seaborne exporter of urea and ammonia combined, the largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in the Middle East and North Africa region, and ADNOC’s low-carbon ammonia platform, today announces its financial results for the three-month period ended 31 March 2025 (“Q1 2025”) and unveils its strategy to accelerate EBITDA growth, aiming to surpass $1bn by 2030. Today, the Company is hosting a Capital Markets Day to provide an update to the market for its next growth phase and present targeted initiatives to strengthen its long-term resilience and competitiveness. Fertiglobe reported revenues of $695 million in Q1 2025, reflecting a 26% increase vs. Q1 2024, and a 49% increase vs. Q4 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the period totaled $261 million, up 45% and 65% on a Y-o-Y and Q-o-Q basis, respectively.
“We are pleased to announce a strong set of Q1 2025 results, driven by robust operational performance and supportive market conditions. I would like to thank the team for an excellent safety record in Q1 2025, achieving 10 million safe man-hours and 14 months without any reportable events. This is a major milestone, and we are committed to sustaining and enhancing this performance as we move towards a zero-injury environment.
Operationally, we delivered a 7% increase in our own-produced sales volumes vs. Q1 2024, and 31% vs. Q4 2024.
This was driven by the strategic shift of shipments from Q4 to capitalize on improving market conditions, and improved plant operating rates, reflecting successful execution on Phase 1 of the Manufacturing Improvement Plan (“MIP”) focused on enhancing energy and production efficiency.
With ADNOC’s strategic support, Fertiglobe has entered the next phase of its growth under the ‘Grow 2030 Strategy’, targeting to become a $1bn+ EBITDA global integrated downstream nitrogen product champion by 2030 via four strategic pillars. This strategy aligns with the global imperative of food security and ensures we are well positioned to capture upside from the energy transition.
Our refreshed strategy presents a clear vision to achieving sustainable operational excellence and cost leadership. With Phase 1 of the cost optimization program completed, and Phase 1 of the Manufacturing Improvement Plan (“MIP”) 80% underway, Fertiglobe today commits to new value enhancement initiatives. These include Phase 2 of the cost optimization program, targeting $35 million in annual run rate savings by 2027-end, and Phase 2 of the MIP, aiming for $80 million in additional EBITDA within the same timeframe. Together, value enhancement initiatives underway are expected to contribute $165-175 million to EBITDA on a run rate basis by the end of 2027.
We are also enhancing our downstream presence in high-netback markets, with expansion efforts expected to contribute an incremental EBITDA uplift of $30-45 million by 2030. Our recent acquisition of Wengfu’s distribution assets in Australia supports this refreshed approach, improving market presence and price realizations in core markets. Additionally, we are advancing our sustainable, higher-margin product portfolio, including Automotive Grade Urea (“AGU”), Diesel Exhaust Fluid (“DEF”) and urea with inhibitors, projected to add $75-100 million in annual EBITDA by 2030. We are excited to have successfully completed trials for the production of AGU in Egypt with thyssenkrupp Uhde Fertilizer Technology (tk UFT) with plans to have exclusive rights for this new technology. This will enable us to create a fully integrated DEF value chain by entering into an agreement with DF Group for the supply of AGU. These partnerships reaffirm our commitment to expanding into sustainable, higher value products, and we expect further distribution opportunities in other geographies.
We are uniquely positioned to play a critical role in meeting global demand for low-carbon ammonia, underpinned by our unparalleled production platform, established market position and the extensive support of ADNOC’s project pipeline and global reach. We are prioritizing disciplined capital allocation and demand-led value accretive investments into low-carbon ammonia, which are expected to contribute $70-100 million to EBITDA by 2030.
Central to this disciplined approach is the continued full support of our majority shareholder, ADNOC, as demonstrated by the integration of $15-21 million of run rate fixed cost savings and other optimization initiatives by year end 2025, as part of Fertiglobe’s new $35 million cost reduction target, which includes reducing our financing costs by $10 million4 and its incubation of new projects in the pipeline, with more synergies to come across customer networks, logistics, technology and infrastructure. Fertiglobe is strongly positioned for its next phase of growth and value creation, and I am confident in our ability to deliver on this strategy.”
Fertiglobe’s refreshed growth strategy aims to position the Company as an integrated global nitrogen champion through four strategic pillars:
Fertiglobe intends to achieve first quartile asset reliability and efficiency across its young asset base, optimize the cost structures of its manufacturing and corporate functions, and fully leverage operational and ecosystem synergies with majority shareholder, ADNOC. Combined, these efforts are expected to contribute an EBITDA uplift of $165-175 million by 2030.
Fertiglobe will focus on increasing price realization across regions, and contract types, while selectively accessing downstream opportunities to grow volumes and expand its margins in core markets. At the same time, the Company will leverage its global footprint, and storage and distribution platform to further enhance cost efficiency. These initiatives are expected to contribute an EBITDA uplift of $30-45 million by 2030.
The Company plans to broaden its product portfolio by introducing a wider selection of sustainable nitrogen-based products, such as Automotive Grade Urea (AGU) and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), and to upgrade its ammonia offering to expand into attractive and higher-value products. Fertiglobe anticipates that its diversified product portfolio will yield an additional EBITDA uplift of $75-100 million by 2030.
As construction progresses on the 1 million tons per annum (mtpa) low-carbon ammonia facility at TA’ZIZ in Ruwais Industrial City, Fertiglobe remains committed to advancing its low-carbon ammonia project pipeline, aiming to deliver attractive returns and to extract value from positive trends in global sustainable fuels demand. The Company’s disciplined and long-term approach to its low-carbon ammonia pipeline is set to generate an EBITDA uplift of $70-100 million by 2030.
As of 31 March 2025, Fertiglobe reported a net debt position of $836 million, implying consolidated net debt / LTM adjusted EBITDA of 1.1x, which allows the Company to pursue both growth opportunities and dividend distributions. The Company reiterates its dividend policy to substantially pay out all excess free cash flows after providing for growth opportunities, while maintaining an investment grade credit profile. Fertiglobe remains committed to creating shareholder value, leveraging active cost optimization and manufacturing improvement initiatives to bolster cash flow generation and maintain a robust balance sheet.
On 12 March 2025, Fertiglobe appointed a liquidity provider to enhance the liquidity and trading efficiency of Fertiglobe’s shareholders in the market. Additionally, in April 2025, Fertiglobe launched a share buyback program to repurchase up to 2.5% of its outstanding shares, subject to market conditions, to reinforce its commitment to deliver attractive and stable shareholder returns. The buyback underscores Fertiglobe’s strong confidence in its value creation potential and market positioning. As of 12 May 2025, 17.1 million shares or 0.21% of total outstanding shares were bought back.
Fitch and S&P recently upgraded Fertiglobe’s credit ratings to reflect its strategic significance within the ADNOC ecosystem, supporting a more favorable funding cost structure. Earlier in 2024, Moody’s revised its outlook for Fertiglobe to positive from stable. Fertiglobe investment grade credit ratings by S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, reflecting its strong cash flow profile and prudent financial policies.
On 13 May 2025 at 3:30 PM UAE (12:30 PM London, 7:30 AM New York), Fertiglobe’s management will present its Q1 2025 financial results as well as a comprehensive update on its refreshed growth strategy and value enhancement initiatives at its Capital Markets Day (CMD) held in Abu Dhabi.

]]>The post Fertiglobe to Acquire Wengfu Australia’s Distribution Assets, Strengthening Its Presence in a Key Region first appeared on Fertiglobe.
]]>Abu Dhabi, UAE – 12 May 2025: Fertiglobe (the “Company”) (ADX: FERTIGLB), the world’s largest seaborne exporter of urea and net ammonia combined, the largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in the Middle East and North Africa region, and ADNOC’s low-carbon ammonia platform, has signed an asset sale and purchase agreement to acquire the distribution assets of Wengfu Australia Pty Ltd. (“Wengfu”), a leading fertilizer distribution business. The purchase price will be based on the net asset value, consisting of fully recoverable net working capital and liquid inventory, plus a premium of ~US$8 million. The transaction is expected to be earnings per share accretive.
Wengfu operates in South-East Australia from five ports with eight warehouses, distributing 700-800kt of fertilizers annually, to over 200 customers, with capacity to scale up to 1.1 million tons per annum. This makes Wengfu a leading supplier in one of the world’s fastest-growing agricultural markets, known for high quality standards and a well-established supply chain. Wengfu’s experienced team and longstanding customer relationships will further support the business’s future growth and continuity.
This acquisition aligns with Fertiglobe’s strategy to expand its presence in key strategic sectors, diversify its global footprint, and build resilience against seasonality. It provides access to a broader customer base, unlocks supply chain efficiencies, and supports the introduction of enhanced-efficiency and sustainable fertilizers. This acquisition also enables Fertiglobe to widen its distributed product portfolio to non-nitrogen fertilizers and allows it to expand fertilizer sourcing flexibility to supply the wider Asia-Pacific region.
The transaction is subject to customary regulatory and legal approvals.
Ahmed El-Hoshy, Chief Executive Officer of Fertiglobe, commented:
“Acquiring Wengfu’s assets marks a strategic step in our value-driven growth strategy and accelerates our commercial footprint in Australia – one of the world’s fastest-growing agricultural regions. It also provides us with a strong distribution platform across the Asia-Pacific region, strengthens access to our customers, and enhances our ability to competitively source and deliver our products and services. Having known Wengfu’s team for several years, we have strong confidence in their ability to grow the business from here. The transaction is in line with our ambitions to expand our presence in key markets and reinforces our leadership position in the global nitrogen industry.”
The acquisition will be financed through pre-arranged trade facilities, with no impact on Fertiglobe’s dividend distribution capability and minimal impact on leverage. Fertiglobe’s shareholders recently approved H2 2024 dividends of $125 million, taking total 2024 dividends to $275 million, implying an industry leading yield of +5%.

]]>Abu Dhabi, UAE – 9 April 2025: Fertiglobe (the “Company”) (ADX: FERTIGLB), the world’s largest seaborne exporter of urea and ammonia combined, the largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in the Middle East and North Africa region, and ADNOC’s low-carbon ammonia platform, held its Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) on 9 April 2025. Shareholders approved an H2 2024 cash dividend of $125 million (5.5 fils/share), bringing total FY 2024 dividends to $275 million, raising the cumulative distributions since Fertiglobe’s 2021 IPO to $2.5 billion, representing one of the highest dividend yields and total return metrics in the industry and on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (“ADX”).
Shareholders also approved the Company’s proposal to repurchase up to 2.5% of its outstanding shares, subject to market conditions and regulatory approvals, to reinforce its commitment to deliver attractive and stable shareholder returns. The proposed buyback underscores Fertiglobe’s strong confidence in its value creation potential and market positioning. The Company will conduct the share buyback through open-market transactions in accordance with ADX regulations, with the quantity of repurchased shares dependent on market conditions and other factors.
H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Chairman of Fertiglobe, said:
“2024 marked a year of important milestones for Fertiglobe as it continued to strengthen its performance and fully integrate into the ADNOC ecosystem. The Company delivered strong shareholder returns as a global leader in low-carbon ammonia – the approval of the share buyback program and $275 million in dividends for the year reflects our confidence in Fertiglobe’s ability to deliver consistent value while positioning for future growth. As we look ahead, Fertiglobe will play a key role in supporting ADNOC’s global growth strategy, unlocking new market opportunities, and accelerating its journey to becoming a champion of sustainable industrial solutions.”
Ahmed El-Hoshy, Chief Executive Officer of Fertiglobe, commented:
“2024 was a transformational year, reinforcing our position as a global leader in nitrogen-based solutions and low-carbon ammonia. Fertiglobe is uniquely positioned to drive sustainable growth and innovation, with a roadmap focused on advancing sustainability, scaling new technologies, and maximizing shareholder value. Our proposed share buyback reflects our confidence in our future, as we remain committed to delivering value to our shareholders, enhancing returns and reinforcing the strength of our financial position.
With ADNOC’s continued support, our highly skilled team, and a steadfast commitment to operational excellence, we are well-equipped to navigate market dynamics, seize opportunities, and lead the transformation of our industry.”
ADNOC’s vehicle for global low-carbon ammonia growth
In 2024, ADNOC’s investment and majority shareholding emphasized the strategic significance of Fertiglobe within ADNOC’s low-carbon strategy and demonstrated a commitment to fostering sustainable growth in the global nitrogen and low-carbon ammonia sectors. By leveraging its position as a leading global ammonia player with a strategic geographic footprint and young asset base, Fertiglobe is well-placed to harness synergies within ADNOC’s broader ecosystem, further strengthening its competitive advantages and expanding its reach in critical energy markets worldwide.
Value enhancement initiatives support operational performance in 2024
In 2024, Fertiglobe successfully delivered its $50 million recurring annual cost saving initiative by introducing enhancements to its operating model, improvements in logistical capabilities, and optimizing operational cost and spend to maximize efficiencies. In addition, Fertiglobe’s Manufacturing Improvement Plan (MIP) is on course (75% complete) to deliver operational and cost efficiencies, leading to incremental annual EBITDA of at least $100 million by the end of 2025, compared to 2023 levels.
Despite operational disruptions in 2024, particularly during the summer period due to external factors in Egypt and Algeria, Fertiglobe successfully limited its production decline to only 3% Y-o-Y. After adjusting for external factors, and the strategic decision to defer shipments to 2025 to realize improved pricing, Fertiglobe’s own-produced sales volumes in FY 2024 would have been up 3% Y-o-Y. This demonstrates the Company’s resilience and commitment to minimizing the impact of external challenges, sustaining operations, and implementing structural measures to improve long-term reliability and productivity, and maximize shareholder value. In addition, Fertiglobe has taken proactive steps to enhance on-site water production at its facilities in Egypt and improve on-site power generation in Algeria. These measures aim to reduce dependence on external power grids and enhance the long-term reliability of Fertiglobe’s operations.
Outlook
Supported by robust free cash generation and a healthy balance sheet, Fertiglobe remains committed to balancing dividend payments with selective growth spending on value accretive projects. The Company’s investment grade positioning is further reinforced by S&P and Fitch’s recent credit rating upgrade following the completion of the ownership transfer to ADNOC.
