Pre-Close Call Presentation summary
19 Jan, 2026Pre-quarter information and disclosure approach
Publishes pre-quarter information package at the start of the quiet period to ensure equal access to relevant data for modeling the upcoming quarter.
Provides guidance and targets for specific activity areas, not total financial results.
Discloses an outside-in EBITDA model based on key market prices and published sensitivities, excluding quarter-specific adjustments.
Offers qualitative comments on key considerations based on previously disclosed information.
Stresses that the outside-in model is not a financial results guide, as actuals may differ due to various factors.
Market developments and price trends
Urea prices dropped moderately from September to November, mainly due to increased Chinese exports, despite strong Indian demand.
Pre-buying ahead of CBAM implementation in Europe led to a price uptick in late November.
Cereal prices declined, resulting in low affordability ratios and dampened urea demand, with some improvement in 4Q.
European urea prices reflected CBAM costs, trading at a premium to global prices.
Brazil's urea imports fell 7% in 2025, offset by higher ammonium sulphate imports; total nitrogen imports slightly increased.
Sensitivities and CBAM impact
Sensitivities updated for 4Q25 to reflect CBAM price effects and current delivery split between Europe and rest of world.
European nitrogen prices now include carbon costs, quoted at a premium to global prices.
Urea and nitrate sensitivities are split between EU and ROW, with European references recommended for modeling.
CBAM implementation from January 2026 will further impact pricing and sensitivities.
