Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ICL Group Ltd. reported third-quarter 2026 sales of $1.91 billion, up 3% from $1.853 billion a year earlier. Net income attributable to shareholders was $120 million, versus $115 million, and adjusted EBITDA was $402 million, up 1% from $398 million. Operating income was $225 million versus $230 million; operating cash flow was $256 million versus $308 million, while free cash flow was $66 million. Gross margin was 32.9%, 30 basis points above a year earlier.

For the first nine months, sales were $6.068 billion versus $5.452 billion, and shareholder net income was $383 million versus $299 million. The company reiterated 2026 guidance for consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 billion to $1.7 billion and potash sales volumes of 4.5 million to 4.7 million metric tons. As of September 30, 2026, cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and deposits totaled $637 million, and net financial liabilities were $2.626 billion.

Higher working capital, mainly from increased inventories tied to raw-material prices, contributed to lower quarterly operating cash flow. ICL said the Israel security situation had not materially adversely affected results as of the reporting date, while future effects remained uncertain.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Filing Explained

A dividend of $0.05 per share is scheduled for December 16; eligibility is based on the December 2 record date.

ICL approved a new four-division organization, effective January 1, 2027: Growing Solutions, Nutrition Solutions, Industrial Products and Essential Minerals. The company is still reviewing how the change will affect segment reporting in future financial statements.

The board approved a dividend of $0.05 per share, with eligibility based on the December 2, 2026 record date and distribution scheduled for December 16, 2026.

In August, the board and compensation committee approved a grant of 2.6 million nonmarketable, nontransferable options to two senior executives for no consideration; the options are scheduled to vest in three equal tranches after 12, 24 and 36 months from August 4, 2026.

An additional bank joined ICL’s revolving credit line in October, lifting its commitment to $1.8 billion through April 2029 and $1.65 billion afterward; as of September 30, 2026, $284 million was utilized under the prior $1.65 billion commitment.

adjusted EBITDA financial
"adjusted EBITDA of $402 million was up 1%"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
International Financial Reporting Standards financial
"prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)"
International Financial Reporting Standards are a common set of accounting rules used by companies in many countries to prepare and present their financial statements. They matter to investors because they make results easier to compare across borders — like using the same measuring tape — so investors can assess profitability, cash flow and risk more reliably and spot differences that come from business performance rather than differing accounting methods.
working capital financial
"increase in working capital, primarily driven by higher inventories"
Working capital is the money a business has available to cover its daily expenses, like paying bills and buying supplies. It’s like the cash in your wallet that helps you handle everyday costs; having enough ensures the business can operate smoothly without running into money shortages.
effective tax rate financial
"reflecting an effective tax rate of 30% and 31%"
The effective tax rate is the percentage of a company's profits that it pays in taxes. It shows how much of its earnings go to taxes after all deductions and credits are considered. For investors, it indicates how much of the company's income is taken by taxes, impacting overall profitability and financial health.

“ICL delivered another quarter of growth in sales, net income and adjusted EBITDA, as we successfully navigated record high raw material prices, elevated freight and logistics costs, and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations.

“Our diversified portfolio of global food, industrial and agriculture product offerings provided us with flexibility to optimize our production capacity utilization. We also maximized our sales mix to drive profitability, while meeting our customers' needs. We delivered third quarter gross margin of 32.9% – up 30 basis points annually and the highest rate since the fourth quarter of 2024 – along with lower operating costs and solid underlying cash generation. We continued to benefit from our global reach with strong local presence, and we look forward to successfully leveraging market and industry dynamics as opportunities emerge in 2027".

 

“Looking ahead, we expect to enter 2027 from a position of strength. Our diverse portfolio covers a wide array of end markets, and our solid balance sheet provides a resilient foundation. The new segment structure will sharpen the focus on our core businesses and growth engines and the customers we serve, and the ELEVATE program is expected to begin delivering meaningful cost savings.

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.

 

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

 

Since October 2023, Israel has been involved in an ongoing regional security situation that has periodically affected various areas of the country. During 2026, military activity involving Iran and other regional actors, including along Israel’s northern border, contributed to continued geopolitical and operational uncertainty.

 

The security situation has resulted in challenges, such as 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 the Company's operations and assets. As of the reporting date, the ongoing security situation has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's 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 - The negative impact on operating income was mainly due to lower sales volumes of phosphate fertilizers and specialty agriculture products. This was partially offset by higher sales volumes of potash, bromine- and phosphorus-based flame retardants, and clear brine fluids.

 

-Price – The positive impact on operating income was primarily driven by a $17 year-over-year increase in potash (CIF) price per tonne, as well as higher selling prices of phosphate fertilizers, white phosphoric acid (WPA), industrial salts, food specialties additives, specialty agriculture products, bromine-based flame retardants and bromine-based industrial solutions.

 

-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 Israeli shekel and Brazilian real against the US dollar. This negative impact more than offset the positive impact on sales, which was mainly attributable to a stronger Brazilian real and Chinese yuan.

 

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

 

-Energy – The negative impact on operating income was due to increased electricity prices and higher water fees

 

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

 

-Operating and other expenses – The positive impact on operating income was mainly related to lower operational and maintenance costs.

 

Financing expenses, net

 

Net financing expenses in the third quarter of 2026 amounted to $42 million, compared to $44 million in the corresponding quarter last year, a decrease of $2 million. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in expenses from net exchange rate differences and hedging transactions, partially offset by an increase in net interest expenses.

 

Tax expenses

 

In the third quarter of 2026, the Company’s reported tax expenses amounted to $54 million, compared to $57 million in the corresponding quarter of last year, reflecting an effective tax rate of 30% and 31%, respectively.

-Quantity – The negative impact on operating income was mainly due to lower sales volumes of phosphate fertilizers, bromine-based industrial solutions, specialty agriculture products and magnesium. This was partially offset by higher sales volumes of potash, bromine-based flame retardants, WPA and FertilizerpluS products.

 

-Price – The positive impact on operating income was primarily related to a $41 increase in the potash (CIF) price per tonne year-over-year, as well as higher selling prices of phosphate fertilizers, WPA, industrial salts, MAP used as raw materials for energy storage solutions, food specialties additives, bromine-based industrial solutions, bromine-based flame retardants, specialty agriculture products 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 Israeli shekel, euro, Brazilian real and Chinese yuan against the US dollar. This negative impact more than offset the positive impact on sales made in these currencies.

 

-Raw materials – The negative impact on operating income was primarily due to higher costs of sulphur, commodity fertilizers and nitrogen.

 

-Energy – The negative impact on operating income was due to higher water fees and increased electricity prices.

 

-Transportation – The negative impact on operating income was due to an increase in marine and inland transportation costs.

 

-Operating and other expenses - The positive impact on operating income was mainly related to lower operational and maintenance costs.

 

Financing expenses, net

 

Net financing expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, amounted to $126 million, compared to $94 million in the corresponding period last year, an increase of $32 million. This increase was primarily driven by an increase of $29 million in net interest expenses.

Highlights and business environment

 

·Despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, phosphate fertilizer prices stabilized and slightly reduced during the third quarter, as weaker demand, cautious buying activity, and moderation in sulphur market prices from the elevated levels reached earlier in the period weighed on the market. As a result, key phosphate fertilizer benchmarks declined by an average of 2% during the quarter.

 

-In China, DAP/MAP production rates recovered in July and August, supported by moderated sulphur costs. However, activity weakened later in the quarter due to subdued winter-stocking demand and as exports continued to remain below prior-year levels, despite some easing of export restrictions, resulting in softer phosphate prices.

 

-Brazilian phosphate demand remained weak throughout 2026, driven by poor affordability, constrained credit availability, and El Niño-related weather concerns. The weak demand environment resulted in a 24% year-over-year decline in phosphate imports during the third quarter and a 6% to 19% drop in Brazilian MAP, TSP, and SSP CFR prices during the quarter.

 

-In the US, elevated sulphur costs and weak autumn application expectations led to production cuts early in the quarter. Market sentiment improved later in the quarter as grain prices increased on El Niño related crop concerns that enhanced fertilizer affordability and supported import demand, while the suspension of countervailing duties (CVDs) on Moroccan phosphate fertilizers further increased imports from Morocco.

 

17 ICL Group Limited Q3 2026 Results

 

-Indian phosphoric acid prices are negotiated quarterly and are often finalized after the quarter begins. The fourth quarter price was settled at $1,700/metric tonne P2O5, remaining unchanged quarter-over-quarter.

 

-Sulphur supply remained tight during the quarter; however, weaker demand from fertilizer producers and from the metals industry drove Middle East FOB Spot sulphur down by $235/tonne to $860/tonne at quarter-end. Despite the decline, prices remained historically elevated due to continued supply constraints.

 

·In Q3 2026, food end-market conditions remained supportive of functional ingredient demand, particularly in applications requiring yield improvement, shelf-life extension, texture management, leavening performance, pH control, and formulation stability. Customers continued to prioritize affordability, cost-in-use and supply reliability. At the same time, geopolitical developments kept input costs elevated across the food value chain, while inflation fatigue weighed on consumer spending and pricing tolerance.

 

·Industrial specialties: Market conditions in industrial end markets continued to experience significant increases in both input costs and selling prices. Customers generally prioritized affordability, reliability, and technical performance. In high-specification applications, purchasing decisions remained focused on qualification requirements, supply security, and product purity, while other end markets showed greater reluctance to absorb additional price increases.

 

·Food specialties: Sales increased year-over-year, driven by price adjustments implemented to offset elevated raw material costs. The sharp increase in prices resulted in lower sales volumes especially in Europe, as customers became more selective in their purchasing decisions.

 

·Food-grade WPA: Sales increased significantly year-over-year, supported by higher prices across all regions aimed at offsetting record high sulphur costs, as well as higher sales volumes in North America.

 

·Battery materials: Sales volumes in China decreased year-over-year, as price increases implemented to offset higher input costs weighed on customer sourcing patterns.

 

·Industrial salts: Sales increased year-over-year, supported by higher prices implemented to offset rising input costs. Volumes remained under pressure as customers shifted toward more need-based purchasing behavior amid continued cost sensitivity.

Highlights and business environment

 

·Specialty Agriculture (SA): Sales remained relatively stable year-over-year, as lower sales volumes, particularly in Brazil, Europe and China, were offset by higher selling prices and favorable movements in the Brazilian real against the US dollar.

 

·Turf & Ornamental (T&O): Sales increased slightly year-over-year, driven primarily by higher selling prices, mainly for CRF products in Europe, partially offset by lower sales volumes.

 

·FertilizerpluS: Sales decreased year-over-year, primarily due to lower sales volumes, mainly in Europe and the US. The decrease was partially offset by higher sales volumes in China, and higher selling prices, primarily in Europe.

 

·Consistent with trends in commodity fertilizers, the Water-Soluble Fertilizer (WSF) market softened during the quarter, as buyers remained cautious and delayed purchases. MAP 12-61 availability remained constrained due to elevated feedstock prices and continued Chinese export restrictions. While MAP has historically traded at a discount to MKP, the absence of export restrictions on MKP put downward pressure on its pricing, encouraging substitution toward MKP. Regulatory developments and regional trade dynamics also influenced NOP (potassium nitrate) and CN (Calcium Nitrate) markets, increased Chilean NOP supply offsetting lower Chinese exports, while the resumption of Chinese CN exports eased market tightness.

 

·India expansion: During the second quarter, ICL commenced operations at its new specialty and water-soluble fertilizer production facility in Maharashtra, India. The facility is operating as planned, supporting local manufacturing growth, increasing supply reliability and addressing rising demand in the Indian market.

-Price – The positive impact on operating income was due to higher selling prices of specialty agriculture and FertilizerpluS products, as well as turf and ornamental products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Source and uses of cash

 

Net cash provided by operating activities

 

In the third quarter, cash flow provided by operating activities amounted to $256 million, compared to $308 million in the corresponding quarter last year. This change was mainly due to an increase in working capital, primarily driven by higher inventories, mainly as a result of increased raw material prices, particularly sulphur, partially offset by favorable changes in trade receivables and trade payables.

 

Net cash used in investing activities

 

In the third quarter, net cash used in investing activities amounted to $158 million, compared to $178 million in the corresponding quarter last year. This decrease was mainly due to higher net proceeds from deposits, partially offset by higher purchases of property, plant and equipment and lower net proceeds from the settlement of derivatives.

 

Net cash used in financing activities

 

In the third quarter, net cash used in financing activities amounted to $99 million, compared to $353 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to higher net proceeds from long-term debt, partially offset by a shift from net receipts to net repayments of short-term debt compared to the corresponding quarter last year.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and deposits amounted to $637 million compared to $496 million as of December 31, 2025. In addition, the Company maintained about $1.5 billion of unused credit facilities, as of September 30, 2026.

 

Outstanding net debt

 

As of September 30, 2026, ICL’s net financial liabilities amounted to $2,626 million, an increase of $366 million compared to December 31, 2025. In addition, as of September 30, 2026, the fair value balance of currency and interest rate swap transactions (CCS) economically reduced ICL's finance liabilities by approximately $89 million.

 

Loans and Debentures

 

1.On June 16, 2026, the Company completed a private offering of senior unsecured notes (hereinafter – Series H Debentures) to institutional investors pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The loan includes a sustainability performance target linked to the reduction of CO2e emissions from the Company's global operations, which will be assessed by an independent third party during the loan term.

Sustainability-linked Revolving Credit Facility (RCF)

 

In April 2023, the Company entered into a $1,550 million RCF agreement between its subsidiary ICL Finance B.V., as borrower, and a consortium of twelve international banks.

In April 2025, eleven of the participating banks agreed to further extend their commitments by an additional year, through April 2030. In June 2026, an additional bank joined the facility, increasing the total commitment to $1,650 million. As a result, the committed amount will be $1,650 million through April 2029 and $1,500 million thereafter.

 

As of September 30, 2026, about $284 million was utilized under the $1,650 million facility.

 

Subsequent to the date of the report, in October 2026, an additional bank joined the facility, increasing the total commitment to $1,800 million. As a result, the committed amount will be $1,800 million through April 2029 and $1,650 million thereafter.

 

Securitization

 

In December 2025, the Company signed a new securitization agreement with four international banks for a committed amount of $350 million and an additional uncommitted $100 million, maturing in December 2030. This agreement replaces the prior securitization facility, which recently matured, and includes slightly improved terms compared to the previous agreement. As of September 30, 2026, ICL had utilized approximately $199 million of the facility.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 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 2 Leonardo Da Vinci 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

 

Since October 2023, Israel has been involved in an ongoing regional security situation that has periodically affected various areas of the country. During 2026, military activity involving Iran and other regional actors, including along Israel’s northern border, contributed to continued geopolitical and operational uncertainty.

 

The security situation has resulted in challenges, such as 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 the Company's operations and assets. As of the reporting date, the ongoing security situation has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's business results. However, its future effects remain uncertain due to the unpredictable nature and duration of the conflict.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2026 (Unaudited)

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 Financial Statements

 

IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and it is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with an early adoption option. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements with no intention of early adoption.

 

IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in the financial statements, including a revised structure for the statement of profit or loss and enhanced disclosures relating to management-defined performance measures ("MPMs").

 

The Company expects the adoption of IFRS 18 to affect the presentation and classification of certain items in the statement of profit or loss. In particular, foreign exchange differences arising from operating activities and gains and losses on economic hedging transactions related to non-financing items, which are currently presented within finance income and expenses, are expected to be presented within the operating income.

 

IFRS 18 also introduces consequential amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows, requiring entities applying the indirect method to reconcile cash flows from operating activities using the operating profit as the starting point.

 

The adoption of IFRS 18 is not expected to have any impact on the Company's consolidated net income, total comprehensive income, shareholders' equity or total net cash provided by operating activities.

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 transaction 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.

 

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.

In accordance with the strategy, the Company's operations will be divided into four business divisions: Growing Solutions, Nutrition Solutions, Industrial Products and Essential Minerals. The organizational structure adjustment will enter into effect on January 1, 2027.

 

The Company is currently in the process of reviewing the accounting implications of the new organizational structure that will become effective on January 1, 2027, including the reporting of its operational segments in its future financial statements in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.

Note 4 - Intangible Assets

 

A. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life

 

Goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite lifespan are not amortized on a systematic basis but, rather, are examined at least once a year for impairment. Goodwill is not monitored for internal reporting purposes and, accordingly, it is allocated to the Company’s operating segments. The impairment test of the carrying amount of goodwill is conducted accordingly.

 

For impairment testing purposes, the trademarks with indefinite useful life were allocated to the cash-generating units, which represent the lowest level within the Company.

 

The carrying amounts of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are as follows:

B. Annual impairment test

 

The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test and did not identify any impairment. The recoverable amount of the operating segments was determined based on their value in use, which is based on internal valuation of discounted future cash flows generated from the continuing operations of the operating segments.

 

In connection with the agreement signed with the Government of Israel and the agreed consideration for the concession assets, as detailed in Note 18 to the Company’s Annual Financial Statements, the Company evaluated a downside scenario as part of its impairment analysis for the relevant Israeli operations. This scenario assumes continued operations until the end of the current concession period (March 2030), at which point the Company is expected to receive the agreed consideration for the concession assets. Although the Company currently considers this scenario to be less likely, no impairment was identified under this scenario.

 

The future cash flow of each operating segment was based on the segment approved five-year plan, which includes segment estimates for revenues, operating income and other factors, such as working capital and capital expenditures. The segments' projections were based, among other things, on the assumed sales volume growth rates according to long-term expectations, internal selling prices and raw materials prices based on external data sources, when applicable and relevant.

 

The key assumptions used to calculate the operating segments' recoverable amounts are a nominal after-tax discount rate of 10.4% or 9.9% based on the expected duration of the operation and a long-term growth rate of 2.5%, reflecting the industries and markets in which the Company is engaged.

C. Foreign currency risks

 

The Company is exposed to changes in the exchange rate of the Israeli shekel against the US dollar in respect of principal and interest in certain debentures, loans, labor costs and other operating expenses. The Company's risk management strategy is to hedge the changes in cash flow deriving from liabilities, labor costs and other operational costs denominated in shekels by using derivatives. These exposures are hedged from time to time, according to the assessment of exposure and inherent risks against which the Company elects to hedge, in accordance with the Company's risk management strategy.

Note 7 – Provisions, Contingencies and Other Matters

 

1.Further to Note 15 to the Annual Financial Statements, on November 10, 2026, the Company reached an agreement with the Israeli Tax Authority ("ITA"), constituting a final and complete settlement of all claims asserted by the ITA with respect to the income tax liabilities of the Company and its material subsidiaries in Israel (ICL Dead Sea, ICL Rotem, ICL Bromine, Bromine Compounds and Magnesium), for the tax years 2020-2024, as well as liabilities under the Natural Resources Law for potash and bromine for the years 2021-2024 and for phosphate for the years 2016-2024 (the “Tax Agreement”). Pursuant to the Tax Agreement, ICL will pay approximately $225 million, plus linkage differences and interest, of which approximately $60 million relates to timing differences between tax periods and will be credited against future tax payments. The Company has recorded sufficient provisions in its financial statements, accordingly, the Tax Agreement has no material impact on the Company's Statements of income.

 

2.Further to Note 18 to the Annual Financial Statements regarding the petitions challenging the approval of the reuse plan for Pond 4 and its related conditions, on July 19, 2026, the District Court dismissed the petition against the approval of the plan by the District Planning and Building Commission while permitting the petitioners to appeal the District Committee's decision approving the plan before the Appeals Subcommittee of the National Planning and Building Committee. In July 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the proceedings before it would remain on hold until a decision on the appeal to be filed before the Appeals Subcommittee of the National Planning and Building Committee is made. In August 2026, the petitioners filed an appeal with the Subcommittee of the National Planning and Building Committee. A hearing on the appeal was held in October 2026, and the Committee's decision remains pending.

 

3.Further to Note 18 to the Annual Financial Statements regarding the Supreme Court ruling requiring the Company to pay water fees for saline water extracted within the concession area, in December 2025, the Company filed a motion for a further hearing before the Supreme Court, which was denied on October 21, 2026. The decision had no impact on the Company's results for the quarter, as the full liability relating to prior periods arising from the ruling had already been reflected in the Company's financial statements.

 

4.Further to Note 18 to the Annual Financial Statements regarding the petition filed by the Municipality of Arad in September 2025 against the Government of Israel and the Company, seeking to revoke the government’s decision to promote the NOP for the Barir field and requesting an interim order to halt its advancement, in June 2026, the Supreme Court issued a ruling dismissing the petition outright.

 

5.Further to Note 8(B) to the Annual Financial Statements, in January 2026, the Company acquired 49.9% of Bartek Ingredients shares, together with preferred debt, for total consideration of approximately $90 million. The Company holds a substantive call option to acquire the remaining shares at any time from the initial closing date. In addition, the seller holds a put option exercisable starting in the third year following the initial sale. If neither option is exercised within five years from the transaction date, the Company will be obligated to acquire the remaining shares.

 

Based on the contractual arrangements and the existence of substantive options, the Company consolidated Bartek Ingredients in its financial statements. Correspondingly, the Company recognized a financial liability in respect of the put options held by the non-controlling interest in the amount of approximately $49 million, representing the discounted expected exercise price. As a result, non-controlling interests are not presented within equity. As of the date of approval of the financial statements, the Company has not yet completed the purchase price allocation to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

6.Further to Note 18 to the Annual Financial Statements regarding certification of a claim as a class action against Fertilizers and Chemical Ltd., in connection with alleged air pollution in Haifa Bay in January 2026, the District Court denied the motion for approval of the claim as a class action. In March 2026, an appeal against the decision was filed before the Supreme Court.
