Yara reports improved earnings

Yara reports third-quarter EBITDA excluding special items¹ of USD 585 million compared with USD 396 million in third quarter 2023. Net income was USD 286 million compared with USD 2 million a year earlier.

Third-quarter 2024 highlights:

• EBITDA excluding special items¹ of 585 MUSD
• Strong premium¹ generation
• All-time high production performance²
• Returns improving but still below target, cost and portfolio optimization continues

“Yara is delivering all-time high production performance and strong premiums this quarter, a testament to the robustness of our operations and the value of our core business,” said Svein Tore Holsether, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Sustainable profitability in core operations and value-accretive growth opportunities are both critical to enable a fit-for-future Yara. While Yara has successfully navigated recent volatility by focusing on operational continuity, recent returns have been below satisfactory levels. Yara is therefore taking action to improve profitability, including a stricter prioritization towards core operations and high-return assets, while scaling back non-core and lower-return activities. This includes performing an asset portfolio review with the aim to prioritize and optimize its portfolio to ensure a fit-for-future asset base.

“Returns are improving, and I am confident that we will succeed with the necessary changes to ensure sustainable profitability and increase shareholder returns through our sharpened focus on our core operations and value-accretive growth, ” said Holsether.
