Following a strong quarter, company increases full year EBITDA guidance to $1.5 billion
to $1.7 billion. Company continuing to execute against strategy to accelerate growth in specialty

crop nutrition and specialty food solutions
Sales of $2.0 billion increased 14% year-over-year, with operating income of $235 million up 27%,

adjusted net income of $139 million up 26%, adjusted EBITDA of $412 million
up 15% and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.11 up 22%

 

Tel Aviv, Israel, and St. Louis, May 13, 2026 – ICL (NYSE: ICL) (TASE: ICL), a leading global specialty minerals company, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Consolidated sales of $2.0 billion were up 14% versus $1.8 billion in the prior year. Operating income was $235 versus $185 million in the first quarter of last year, while adjusted operating income of $252 million was up 21% versus $208. For the first quarter, net income attributable to shareholders was $126 million versus $91 million in the prior year, with adjusted net income of $139 million up 26% compared to $110 million. Adjusted EBITDA of $412 million was up 15% versus $359 million. Diluted earnings per share were $0.10 versus $0.07 in the first quarter of last year, with adjusted diluted EPS of $0.11 up 22% versus $0.09 in the first quarter of last year.

 

“ICL delivered solid growth across all key financial metrics in the first quarter, including a 14% increase in sales, a 15% increase in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS improvement of 22%, with sales growth in all four business segments. This successful performance was achieved as the company demonstrated exceptional execution and operational resilience, while continuing to benefit from our distinctive global presence with regionally diversified operations. The first quarter also included the acquisition of Bartek Ingredients and the establishment of a specialty fertilizer production facility in India – proof points that we are executing against our strategy to drive growth in specialty crop nutrition and specialty food solutions,” said Elad Aharonson, president and CEO of ICL.

 

“After this successful first quarter, where we benefitted from higher bromine and potash prices – which are expected to remain elevated – we are raising our guidance by $100 million. Looking ahead, we expect to continue to benefit from the current pricing environment, and we will also work to manage raw material costs and other headwinds by swiftly navigating changes in market conditions,” concluded Aharonson.

 

The company increased its guidance for full year 2026 consolidated adjusted EBITDA to $1.5 billion to $1.7 billion from $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion. The company continues to expect Potash sales volumes of between 4.5 million and 4.7 million metric tons. (1a)

We disclose in this quarterly report non-IFRS financial measures titled adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA. Our management uses adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. We calculate our adjusted operating income by adjusting our operating income to add certain items, as set forth in the reconciliation table under “Adjustments to reported operating, and net income (non-GAAP)” below. Some of these items may recur. We calculate our adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders by adjusting our net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders to add certain items, as set forth in the reconciliation table under “Adjustments to reported operating, and net income (non-GAAP)” below, excluding the total tax impact of such adjustments. We calculate our diluted adjusted earnings per share by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted-average number of diluted ordinary shares outstanding. Our adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before financing expenses, net, taxes on income, share in earnings of equity-accounted investees, depreciation and amortization, and certain adjustments presented in the reconciliation table under “Consolidated adjusted EBITDA, and diluted adjusted Earnings Per Share for the periods of activity” below, which were adjusted for in calculating the adjusted operating income.

You should not view adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share or adjusted EBITDA as a substitute for operating income or net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders determined in accordance with IFRS, and you should note that our definitions of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA may differ from those used by other companies. Additionally, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which may reduce the usefulness of our non-IFRS financial measures as tools for comparison. However, we believe adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to both management, and investors by excluding certain items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operations. Our management uses these non-IFRS measures to evaluate the Company's business strategies and management performance. We believe that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors because they improve the comparability of our financial results between periods and provide for greater transparency of key measures used to evaluate our performance.

 

(1a) The Company only provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to GAAP net income (loss), due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting, and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, in particular, because special items such as restructuring, litigation, and other matters, used to calculate projected net income (loss) vary dramatically based on actual events, the Company is not able to forecast on a GAAP basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a GAAP calculation of projected net income (loss) at this time. The amount of these deductions may be material and therefore could result in projected GAAP net income (loss) being materially less than projected adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP). The guidance speaks only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news release or to reflect actual outcomes, unless required by law. The Company provides guidance for consolidated adjusted EBITDA and for its Potash business the Company provides sales volumes guidance. The Company believes this information provides greater transparency, as the price of potash has stabilized over the past few years and consolidated adjusted EBITDA is now a more relevant metric for investors to evaluate the Company’s performance and compare its financial results between periods.

 

We present a discussion in the period-to-period comparisons of the primary drivers of change in the Company’s results of operations. This discussion is based in part on management’s best estimates of the impact of the main trends on our businesses. We have based the following discussion on our financial statements. You should read such discussion together with our financial statements.

Recent Developments

 

Security situation in Israel

 

In October 2023, the Israeli government declared a state of war in response to attacks on its civilians in the southern region of the country, which subsequently escalated to other areas. On October 9, 2025, Israel signed a ceasefire agreement. On February 28, 2026, a coordinated attack by Israel and the United States was launched in response to threats from Iran, which subsequently escalated into a conflict involving Lebanon along Israel’s northern border. The conflict with Iran and Lebanon is currently subject to a ceasefire aimed at enabling negotiations and the potential achievement of a broader agreement. The ongoing security situation over the past two years has created several challenges, including disruptions to supply chains and shipping routes, personnel shortages due to recurring rounds of mobilization for reserve duty, additional costs to protect Company sites/assets, effects of reluctance to perform contractual obligations in Israel during hostilities, various bans and limitations on trade and cooperation with Israel related entities, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the Israeli shekel. Additionally, regional tensions involving Houthis attacks and threats to commercial vessels have intensified, disrupting shipping routes and commercial shipping arrangements, leading to increased shipping costs.

 

The Company continues to take measures to ensure the safety of its employees and business partners, as well as the communities in which it operates. It has also implemented supportive measures to accommodate employees called for reserve duty, aiming to minimize any potential impact on its business, and to avoid disruptions to production activities at its facilities in Israel.

 

ICL continuously monitors developments and will take all necessary actions to minimize any negative consequences to our operations and assets. As of the reporting date, the security situation has not had a material impact on our business results. However, its future effects remain uncertain due to the unpredictable nature and duration of the conflict.

* See "Adjustments to reported Operating and Net income (non-GAAP)" above.

 

-Quantity - Higher sales volumes of potash, specialty agriculture products, and white phosphoric acid (WPA) contributed positively to operating income, partially mitigating the impact of lower sales volumes of bromine-based industrial solutions.

 

-Price – The positive impact on operating income was primarily related to an increase of $62 in the potash price (CIF) per tonne year-over-year, as well as higher selling prices of phosphate fertilizers, white phosphoric acid (WPA), bromine-based flame retardants, elemental bromine, specialty minerals products, and specialty Agriculture and FertilizerpluS products.

 

-Exchange rates – The unfavorable impact on operating income was due to the negative impact on operational costs resulting mainly from the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the euro, Brazilian real, Chinese Yuan and the Israeli shekel against the US dollar, which outweighed the positive impact on sales from the stronger euro, Chinese Yuan and Brazilian real.

 

-Raw materials – The negative impact on operating income was mainly due to the higher cost of Sulphur, commodity fertilizers and nitrogen.

 

-Energy – The positive impact on operating income was mainly due to the lower cost of electricity.

 

-Transportation – The negative impact on operating income resulted from higher marine transportation costs to China and India.

 

-Operating and other expenses – The negative impact on operating income was mainly related to higher operational costs and royalty payments.

 

Financing expenses, net

 

Net financing expenses in the first quarter of 2026 amounted to $42 million, compared to $37 million in the corresponding quarter last year, an increase of $5 million. This increase is primarily due to higher interest expenses, partially offset by income from net exchange rate differences and hedging transactions.

 

Tax expenses

 

In the first quarter of 2026, the Company’s reported tax expenses amounted to $53 million, compared to $42 million in the corresponding quarter of last year, reflecting an effective tax rate of about 28% in both periods.

Highlights and business environment

 

·Elemental bromine: Sales remained stable year-over-year, with higher prices offset lower volumes.

 

·Flame retardants: Sales of bromine-based products increased year-over-year, as higher pricing more than offset lower sales volumes. Sales of phosphorus-based products decreased year-over-year, driven mainly by soft demand and strong Chinese competition in the construction end-market.

 

·Clear brine fluids: Sales declined year-over-year, reflecting postponed activity in North America due to drilling cycle timing, partially offset by higher sales volumes in South America, Africa and Europe.

 

·Specialty minerals: Sales increased year-over-year, driven by increased demand for magnesia for pharma applications.

(1)Primarily includes salt produced in Spain, metal magnesium-based products, chlorine and sales of surplus electricity produced by ICL’s power plant at the Dead Sea in Israel.

 

Highlights and business environment

 

·ICL's potash price (CIF) per tonne of $362 in the quarter was 4% higher than the fourth quarter of 2025, and a 21% increase year-over-year.

 

·The Grain Price Index rose by 5.2% in the first quarter, driven by an increase quarter-over-quarter in the price of wheat (8.2%), rice (5.0%), soy (4.2%) and corn (3.3%), following the escalation of conflict in the Middle East.

 

·The WASDE (World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates) report, published by the USDA in April 2026, estimates the ratio of global inventories of grains to consumption at 27.1.% in 2025/26. Good harvest outputs recently have kept this figure in line with 2024/25 (27.0%), but it remains below 2023/24 (28.3%) and the five-year average (also 28.3%).

-Quantity – The positive impact on operating income was primarily related to an increase in sales volumes of potash in China and Brazil, partially offset by lower potash sales volumes in the US, as well as a decrease in sales volumes of magnesium.

 

-Price – The positive impact on operating income resulted primarily from an increase of $62 in the potash price (CIF) per tonne, year-over-year.

 

-Transportation – The negative impact on operating income was primarily due to higher marine and inland transportation costs, primarily to India and China.

 

-Exchange rates – The unfavorable impact on operating income was mainly due to higher operational costs resulting from the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the euro and the Israeli shekel against the US dollar, partially offset by higher sales driven by the stronger euro and pound.

Highlights and business environment

 

·Phosphate markets were highly volatile in the first quarter. While global benchmark prices averaged only a 1% increase for the quarter, prices increased sharply by 21% during the period, with most of the increase occurring toward quarter-end. Improved affordability and tight global availability contributed to price increases in January and February, while the escalation of the Middle East conflict in March intensified concerns over energy availability, raw material costs and fertilizer supply, accelerating price momentum.

 

-China’s export restrictions covering DAP, MAP, NP, NPK and later SSP and TSP, were further tightened amid rising raw material costs and regional tensions, resulting in an approximately 40% year over year decline in phosphate exports to about 1.1 million metric tons in the first quarter.

 

-Brazilian import demand remained strong, supported by improved Soybean affordability, expectations of prolonged Chinese export restrictions and supply concerns, leading to elevated imports and price increases of $140-220/mt for MAP, TSP and SSP.

 

-US market conditions remained relatively weak due to low crop prices and softer demand expectations, with spring application volumes projected to decline year-over-year, although DAP FOB NOLA increased by approximately $77/mt in March, due to supply and costs concerns.

·Indian phosphoric acid prices are negotiated quarterly, with settlements often finalized after the beginning of the quarter. The price for the first quarter was agreed at $1,290/mt P2O5. The second quarter's price was settled at $1,360/mt P2O5.

 

·Sulphur supply tightened significantly over the past 6-12 months, due to reduced Russian production and the escalation of conflict in the Middle East. This corresponded with firm demand growth from the metals sector. Sulphur prices FOB Middle East were assessed at $525/mt at the end of the first quarter.

 

·Food markets: during the first quarter, geopolitical developments continued to drive increases in the costs of key raw materials, energy, and logistics, alongside persistent tightness in global supply chains. Consumer sentiment remained subdued, with food & beverage end-market volumes broadly flat.

 

·In the first quarter, the Company acquired Bartek Ingredients (~50%), a global leader in food-grade malic and fumaric acids, serving hundreds of customers and distributors across the food, beverage, confectionery, bakery and other end-markets.

 

·The industrial segment experienced significant increases in both input costs and market prices, while the global energy transition continued to accelerate. In the first two months of 2026, China exported nearly seven times more LFP CAM compared to the prior year period, driving higher global demand for phosphoric acid, for which current capacity remains adequate. Accordingly, sales of battery materials in China increased year-over-year, primarily due to higher prices.

 

·Food Specialties: Sales slightly increased year-over-year, as volume growth in China and North America offset lower selling prices, mainly in North America.

 

·White Phosphoric Acid (WPA): Food-grade WPA sales increased year-over-year with higher prices across most regions and higher volumes in Europe and South America. Tech-grade WPA sales increased significantly, supported by higher volumes and prices, particularly in Asia.

 

·Industrial salts: sales decreased year-over-year, driven by lower volumes in Europe, partially offset by higher pricing in the region.

-Quantity – The positive impact on operating income was driven by higher sales volumes of WPA, partially offset by lower sales volumes of industrial salts.

 

-Price – The positive impact on operating income primarily related to higher selling prices of phosphate fertilizers, WPA and industrial salts. This was partially offset by lower selling prices of food specialties additives.

 

-Exchange rates - The unfavorable impact on operating income was mainly due to higher operational costs resulting mainly from the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the euro, Chinese yuan, and the Israeli shekel against the US dollar. This impact was partially offset by higher sales driven by the stronger euro and Chinese yuan.

 

-Raw materials –The negative impact on operating income was due to higher costs of sulphur.

Highlights and business environment

 

·Specialty Agriculture (SA): Sales increased year-over-year, mainly in China and Europe, driven by higher sales volumes, particularly of MKP, MAP and WSNPK, and higher prices, notably in Liquid NPK, MKP, and MAP, supported by favorable euro exchange rate fluctuations.

 

·Turf & Ornamental (T&O): Sales increased year-over-year, mainly in Turf & Landscape, mainly due to higher sales volumes, particularly in Europe, and favorable euro exchange rate fluctuations.

 

·FertilizerpluS: Sales increased year-over-year, mainly due to higher prices, particularly Polysulphate in Europe and the US, and supported by favorable euro exchange rate fluctuations.

 

·In line with commodity fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers (WSF) faced a challenging beginning in 2026. Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) implementation increased the cost of nitrogen-based WSF imports into Europe, while the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East in March drove higher raw material (e.g. ammonium nitrate, sulphur, ammonia) and freight costs.

 

·India expansion: ICL announced the establishment of a new specialty and water-soluble fertilizer production facility in Maharashtra, India, aimed at expanding local manufacturing capabilities, supporting growing demand in the Indian market, and strengthening supply-chain resilience amid ongoing geopolitical and shipping disruptions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Source and uses of cash

 

Net cash provided by operating activities

 

In the first quarter, cash flow provided by operating activities amounted to $195 million, compared to $165 million in the corresponding quarter last year. This increase was mainly due to a higher net income, partially offset by changes in working capital.

 

Net cash used in investing activities

 

In the first quarter, net cash used in investing activities amounted to $186 million, compared to $192 million in the corresponding quarter last year. This decrease was mainly due to lower payments for property, plant and equipment, partially offset by business combination.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities

 

In the first quarter, net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $100 million, compared to net cash used of $5 million in the corresponding quarter last year. This change was mainly due to changes in the credit facilities and repayments of long-term debts in the corresponding quarter.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and deposits amounted to $581 million compared to $496 million as of December 31, 2025. In addition, the Company maintained about $0.9 billion of unused credit facilities, as of March 31, 2026.

 

Outstanding net debt

 

As of March 31, 2026, ICL’s net financial liabilities amounted to $2,569 million, an increase of $309 million compared to December 31, 2025.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – General

 

A.The Reporting Entity

 

ICL Group Ltd. (hereinafter – the Company), is a company incorporated and domiciled in Israel. The Company's shares are traded on both the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker: ICL. The address of the Company’s registered headquarters is 23 Aranha St., Tel Aviv, Israel. The Company is a subsidiary of Israel Corporation Ltd., a public company traded on the TASE under the ticker: ILCO:TA. The State of Israel holds a Special State Share in ICL and in some of its subsidiaries, entitling the State the right to safeguard the State of Israel's vital interests.

 

The Company, together with its subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures (hereinafter - the Group or ICL), is a leading specialty minerals group that operates a unique, integrated business model. The Company competitively extracts certain minerals as raw materials and utilizes processing and product formulation technologies to add value to customers in two main end-markets: agriculture and industrial (including food). ICL’s products are used mainly in agriculture, electronics, food, fuel and gas exploration, water purification and desalination, construction, detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and automotive.

 

B.Security situation in Israel

 

In October 2023, the Israeli government declared a state of war in response to attacks on its civilians in the southern region of the country, which subsequently escalated to other areas. On October 9, 2025, Israel signed a ceasefire agreement. On February 28, 2026, a coordinated attack by Israel and the United States was launched in response to threats from Iran, which subsequently escalated into a conflict involving Lebanon along Israel’s northern border. The conflict with Iran and Lebanon is currently subject to a ceasefire aimed at enabling negotiations and the potential achievement of a broader agreement. The ongoing security situation over the past two years has created several challenges, including disruptions to supply chains and shipping routes, personnel shortages due to recurring rounds of mobilization for reserve duty, additional costs to protect Company sites/assets, effects of reluctance to perform contractual obligations in Israel during hostilities, various bans and limitations on trade and cooperation with Israel related entities, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the Israeli shekel. Additionally, regional tensions involving Houthis attacks and threats to commercial vessels have intensified, disrupting shipping routes and commercial shipping arrangements, leading to increased shipping costs.

 

The Company continues to take measures to ensure the safety of its employees and business partners, as well as the communities in which it operates. It has also implemented supportive measures to accommodate employees called for reserve duty, aiming to minimize any potential impact on its business, and to avoid disruptions to production activities at its facilities in Israel.

 

ICL continuously monitors developments and will take all necessary actions to minimize any negative consequences to our operations and assets. As of the reporting date, the security situation has not had a material impact on our business results. However, its future effects remain uncertain due to the unpredictable nature and duration of the conflict.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

A.Basis of Preparation

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Company uses IFRS as its generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” and do not include all the information required in complete, annual financial statements. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes are unaudited and should be read together with the Company's audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 (hereinafter – the Annual Financial Statements), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

 

The accounting policies and assumptions used in preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those used in preparation of the Company's Annual Financial Statements and in the Company's opinion, include all the adjustments necessary to fairly present such information. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the Company's expected results for the entire year.

 

B.Amendments to standards and interpretations that have not yet been adopted

 

IFRS 18, presentation and disclosure in the financial statements

 

This standard replaces the international accounting standard IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements. In addition, income statement items will be classified into five defined categories: operating, investing, financing, taxes on income and discontinued operations. The standard also includes a requirement to provide a separate disclosure in the financial statements regarding the use of management-defined performance measures ("non-GAAP" measures), and specific instructions were added for the grouping and splitting of items in the financial statements and in the notes. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with an option for early adoption. The Company is examining the effects of the Amendment on the financial statements with no plans for early adoption.

Note 3 - Operating Segments

 

A. General

 

1. Information on operating segments

 

ICL is a global specialty minerals company operating bromine, potash and phosphate mineral value chains in a unique, integrated business model. Our operations are organized under four segments: Industrial Products, Potash, Phosphate Solutions and Growing Solutions.

 

Industrial Products – The Industrial Products segment produces bromine derived from a solution that is a by-product of the potash production process in Sodom, Israel, as well as bromine-based compounds. Industrial Products uses most of the bromine it produces for its own production of bromine compounds at its production sites in Israel, the Netherlands and China. In addition, the Industrial Products segment produces several grades of salt, magnesium chloride and some other specialty mineral products. Industrial Products is also engaged in the production and marketing of phosphorous-based flame retardants and additional phosphorus-based products.

 

Potash – The Potash segment produces and sells primarily potash, salt, magnesium, as well as electricity. Potash is produced in Israel and Spain using an evaporation process to extract potash from the Dead Sea in Israel, and from conventional mining of an underground mine in Spain. The segment also produces and sells pure magnesium and magnesium alloys, as well as chlorine and sylvinite. In addition, the segment sells salt products produced at its potash site in Spain. The Company operates a power plant in Sodom which supplies electricity to ICL companies in Israel (as well as surplus electricity to external customers) and steam to all facilities at the Sodom site.

 

Phosphate Solutions – The Phosphate Solutions segment is based on a phosphate value chain which uses phosphate commodity products, such as phosphate rock and fertilizer-grade phosphoric acid (“green phosphoric acid”), to produce specialty products with higher added value. The segment also produces and markets phosphate-based fertilizers. Phosphate rock is mined and processed from open pit mines, three of which are located in the Negev Desert in Israel, while the fourth is situated in Yunnan province in China. Sulphuric acid, green phosphoric acid and phosphate fertilizers are also produced in the facilities in Israel and China.

 

The Phosphate Solutions segment manufactures pure phosphoric acid by purifying green phosphoric acid. Pure phosphoric acid and green phosphoric acid are used to manufacture downstream products with high added value, such as phosphate salts and acids, for a wide range of food and industrial applications. Phosphate salts and acids are used in various industrial end markets such as oral care, cleaning products, paints and coatings, energy storage solutions, water treatment, asphalt modification, construction, metal treatment and more. The segment's products for the food industry include functional food ingredients and phosphate additives which provide texture and stability solutions for processed meat, meat alternatives, poultry, seafood, dairy products, beverages and baked goods. In addition, the segment supplies pure phosphoric acid to ICL’s specialty fertilizers business.

Note 3 - Operating Segments (cont’d)

 

A. General (cont’d)

 

1. Information on operating segments (cont’d)

 

Growing Solutions – The Growing Solutions segment aims to achieve global leadership in plant nutrition markets by enhancing its positions in its core markets of agriculture, ornamental horticulture, turf and landscaping, targeting high-growth markets such as Brazil, India and China, by leveraging its unique R&D capabilities, substantial agronomic experience, global footprint, backward integration to potash, phosphate and polysulphate and chemistry know-how, as well as its ability to integrate and generate synergies from acquired businesses.

 

ICL is continuously working to expand its broad portfolio of specialty plant nutrition, plant stimulation and plant health solutions, which consists of enhanced efficiency and controlled release fertilizers (CRF), water soluble fertilizers (WSF), liquid fertilizers, straights (MKP/MAP/PeKacid), FertilizerpluS, soil and foliar micronutrients, secondary nutrients, biostimulants, soil conditioners, seed treatment products, and adjuvants.

 

The Growing Solutions segment develops, manufactures, markets and sells its products globally, mainly in South America, Europe, Asia, North America and Israel. It produces water soluble specialty fertilizers in Belgium, Israel, Brazil, China, the US and Spain, organic, ornamental horticulture, turf and landscaping products in the UK and the Netherlands, liquid fertilizers in Israel, Spain and China, straights soluble fertilizers in China and Israel, controlled release fertilizers in the Netherlands, Brazil and the US, FertilizerpluS products in the UK, the Netherlands and Germany, as well as secondary nutrients, biostimulants, soil conditioners, seed treatment products, and adjuvants in Brazil.

 

Other Activities – Other business activities include, among other things, ICL’s innovative arm, promoting innovation, developing new products and services, as well as digital platforms and technological solutions for farmers and agronomists. This category includes Growers and Agmatix, innovative start-ups that are developing agricultural data processing and analysis capabilities for the future of agriculture. These activities are not presented as reportable segments as they do not meet the required quantitative thresholds.

 

2. Segment capital investments

 

Capital investments made by the segments for each of the reporting periods include mainly property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets acquired in the ordinary course of business and as part of business combinations.

 

3. Inter–segment transfers and unallocated income (expenses)

 

Segment revenue, expenses and results include inter-segment transfers, which are based on transactions prices in the ordinary course of business. This is aligned with reports that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker. Inter-segment transfers are eliminated as part of the financial statements' consolidation process.

 

The Segment profit is measured based on the operating income, without the allocation of certain expenses to the operating segments, as presented in the reports regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker. This is the basis for analyzing segment results, since management believes that it is the most relevant measure for the assessment of such results.
