Darling Ingredients used its 2026 Investor Day to highlight its global rendering, renewable fuels and collagen platforms and to share an updated financial framework. For Q1 2026, net income attributable to Darling was $134.3 million, with non-DGD Adjusted EBITDA of $255.7 million and Darling’s 50% share of Diamond Green Diesel (DGD) Adjusted EBITDA of $151.2 million, for combined Adjusted EBITDA of $406.8 million.
Total debt was $3.222 billion and the bank leverage ratio was 1.82x, with a staggered maturity schedule and a weighted average interest rate near 5%. Management framed DGD as one of the world’s largest renewable fuel producers with about 1.2 billion gallons of renewable diesel capacity, including roughly 235 million gallons of neat sustainable aviation fuel. They outlined scenarios in which total company Adjusted EBITDA could range from $1.1 billion to $2.1 billion across down‑, mid‑ and up‑cycle markets, implying annual cash available of about $400 million to $1.35 billion.
Darling also emphasized growth in higher‑margin collagen and targeted ingredients, a shift toward precision collagen under its Nextida platform, and a multi‑year plan that, under current assumptions, could generate $4–6 billion of cash from 2027–2030 to fund debt reduction, acquisitions, share repurchases, dividends and additional biofuel and collagen investments.
