Yara's first-quarter EBITDA excluding special items was 896 MUSD, 41% higher than for the same quarter a year ago, driven by higher volume deliveries, enhanced margins across segments, and continued strong performance on improvement initiatives and disciplined cost control. Total deliveries were 2% higher than for the same quarter a year ago mainly from increased deliveries of Amidas (urea), NPKs and CN.
EuropeEBITDA excluding special items was 246 MUSD, 54% higher than for the same quarter a year ago. The improvement was driven by higher fertilizer prices, stronger margins, and continued lower fixed cost base. Total deliveries were stable compared with the same quarter a year ago.
AmericasEBITDA excluding special items was 229 MUSD, 48% higher than for the same quarter a year ago, mainly reflecting increased deliveries, better nitrogen upgrading margins, and continued solid commercial performance. Total deliveries were 11% higher than first quarter last year, driven by increased volumes in North America, Latin America and Brazil.
Africa & AsiaEBITDA excluding special items was 44 MUSD, 33% lower than for the same quarter a year ago, reflecting continued margin pressure in key Asian markets, partly offset by improved product mix effects. Total deliveries were down 4% mainly following declining third-party product deliveries of urea in Asia, also partly impacted by reduced urea deliveries following gas curtailments in Babrala, India, offsetting increased NPK deliveries.
Global ProductionEBITDA excluding special items was 173 MUSD, 51% higher than for the same quarter a year ago, mainly reflecting higher upgrading margins. Production outputs were 9% below the same quarter last year following unplanned ammonia outages.
Clean AmmoniaEBITDA excluding special items was 49 MUSD, 20% higher than for the same quarter a year ago, reflecting improved margins and continued development of ammonia trading activities. Total external deliveries were 1% lower than for the same quarter a year ago mainly due to reduced availability from Pilbara, Australia and Sluiskil, Netherlands.
Industrial SolutionsEBITDA excluding special items was 137 MUSD, 43% higher than for the same quarter a year ago, reflecting improved margins and product mix as well as lower gas costs compared with the same quarter last year. Total deliveries were 4% lower than for the same quarter a year ago following portfolio optimization.

The variance in financial items is mainly explained by a net foreign currency exchange loss of USD 122 million this quarter, compared with a gain of USD 127 million in the same period a year earlier.
The foreign currency exchange loss this quarter stems from the internal funding positions in euro vs. the Norwegian krone as the Norwegian krone appreciated during the quarter. That loss was only partly offset by gains on Yara's US dollar denominated debt positions. In the same quarter a year ago, a gain on the US dollar denominated debt positions outweighed a loss on the internal funding positions.
Yara's accounting policy regarding foreign currency transactions is described on page 195 in the Annual Report for 2025.
Although the average gross debt this quarter was around USD 100 million higher than in the same quarter a year ago, somewhat lower interest rates led to an interest expense USD 2 million lower than in the same period a year before.
At the end of the first quarter, the US dollar denominated debt position generating currency effects in the Statement of income was approximately USD 2,600 million, with around three-quarters of the exposure towards the Norwegian krone and the rest mainly towards emerging market currencies.
Cash flow
First quarterYara's first-quarter operating cash flow increased by USD 195 million compared to the same period last year. The substantial increase follows strong improvement on operating income with higher prices, increased deliveries and lower fixed cost, which more than offset increased operating capital driven by higher accounts receivables from higher prices and deliveries compared to last year. Yara's investing cash outflow was fairly flat with USD 1 million decrease compared to last year, as reduced investments this year were offset by disposal of other non-current assets last year. Yara's cash outflow from financing activities decreased by USD 107 million due to received loan proceeds this year compared to repayment of short-term loans last year.
Variance analysis methodology
In order to track underlying business developments from period to period, Yara's management uses a variance analysis methodology ("variance analysis") that involves the extraction of financial information from the accounting system, as well as statistical and other data from internal management information systems. Management considers the estimates produced by the variance analysis, and the identification of trends based on such analysis, sufficiently precise to provide useful data to monitor the business.
However, these estimates should be understood to be less than an exact quantification of the changes and trends indicated by such analysis.
The variance analysis presented in Yara's quarterly and annual financial reports is prepared on a Yara EBITDA basis including net income/(loss) in equity-accounted investees. The volume, margin and other variances presented therefore include effects generated by performance in equity-accounted investees.
Outlook
Yara operates a global, flexible production system that delivers a diversified portfolio of nitrogen-based products. With our extensive global market reach and more than a century of agronomic knowledge and continuous innovation, we partner across the value chain to improve crop yields, optimize resource use, and reduce environmental impact. With our global operations, leading crop nutrition solutions and ammonia positions, Yara is uniquely positioned to navigate volatility, capitalizing on its operational flexibility while also driving and creating strong shareholder value.
At the January 2026 Capital Markets Day, Yara introduced the next phase of its improvement program, targeting an incremental 200 MUSD EBITDA improvement by the end of 2027 and a further 150 MUSD EBITDA improvement by the end of 2030. These improvements will be achieved through enhanced asset utilization, logistical optimization, targeted market opportunities and disciplined capital reallocation.
Diversifying energy exposure and optimizing the business to mitigate increased carbon costs is key priority to strengthening long-term resilience and returns. Yara continues to evaluate the optimal pathway to achieve this, including maturing the ammonia projects with Air Products, with an estimated FID in mid-2026. Yara remains committed to delivering sustained cash flow growth and strict capital prioritization, supporting strong through-the-cycle shareholder returns.
The war in the Middle East continues to impact global energy and fertilizer markets. The blockage of the Strait of Hormuz disrupts around 1/3 of global traded urea, as well as other key raw materials for fertilizer production including natural gas, ammonia, phosphates and sulphur. The supply shock led to an immediate product shortage, forcing demand to adjust accordingly through sharply increased global fertilizer prices. It is likely that this leads to a de-coupling of pricing between prompt demand where application season is ongoing and markets out of season.
The initial blockage of the Strait of Hormuz has developed to a global urea supply shock, as production in several countries has been impacted by the situation - further amplified by Russian nitrogen plants affected by drone attacks. This structural loss of products increases the pre-conflict market tightness, and amplifies the tight supply/demand balance medium term.
Yara's global business model enables optimization between markets, and Yara has increased operational flexibility and robustness through its improvement program. This includes maintaining high production levels to ensure efficient asset utilization, enabling reliable supply to a fertilizer market impacted by significant supply shocks. Yara also has the ability to utilize its ammonia sourcing flexibility to optimize production should increased European gas prices reduce profitability of European ammonia production, as was the case in 2022. In recent years, Yara has demonstrated the resilience of its business model and is uniquely positioned to navigate volatility and to optimize and adapt in environments with amplified regional price and demand volatility.
While nitrogen markets remain distorted across regions, India and China continue to shape the global balance. Indian urea output was partly curtailed in March due to gas shortages, driving significant tender activity pre-Kharif season, while Chinese exports have been restricted during the domestic season, but could ease in the second half of 2026, reducing pressure on global supply-demand.
According to CRU, forecasted capacity additions excluding China are comparable to historic demand growth, assuming no delays, all new capacity runs at full capacity utilization, and not considering any replacement need. This indicates a continued tight global supply and demand balance in the coming years excluding China.
Based on current forward markets for natural gas (16/04/2026) and assuming stable gas purchase volumes, Yara's gas cost for second and third quarter 2026 is estimated to be USD 150 million higher and USD 120 million higher than a year earlier. These estimates may change depending on future spot gas prices and local terms.
Yara's capital allocation policy is based on an overall objective of maximizing value creation for shareholders and maintain a mid-investment grade credit rating, with a targeted capital structure consisting of a mid-to-long term net debt/EBITDA excl. special items1 rate of 1.5-2.0, and a net debt/equity ratio below 0.60. At the end of first quarter, Yara's net debt/EBITDA excl. special items1 is 1.00 and net debt/equity ratio1 is 0.33, reflecting a strong balance sheet.

Notes to the interim financial statements
Corporate information and basis of preparation
Yara (the Group) consists of Yara International ASA and its subsidiaries. Yara International ASA is a public limited company incorporated in Norway. The address of its registered office is Drammensveien 131, Oslo, Norway.
These unaudited, condensed consolidated interim financial statements consist of the Group and the Group's interests in associated companies and joint arrangements. They are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements in Yara's Annual Report for 2025. The accounting policies applied in the first quarter of 2026 are the same as those communicated in that Annual Report.
As a result of rounding differences, numbers or percentages may not add up to the total.
Estimates, judgments and assumptions
Yara faces various risks and uncertainties that require management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions which may significantly differ from actual results and potentially lead to material adjustments to carrying amounts. The estimates, judgments, and assumptions communicated in Yara's consolidated financial statements for 2025 also apply to these interim financial statements.
Effects of the geopolitical situation
Yara, as a globally diversified company, is well-positioned to navigate changes in the geopolitical landscape. The Group's adaptability allows it to optimize production and product flows, ensuring a consistent supply of products with minimal disruption.
Yara's financial results are primarily influenced by movements in commodity prices, especially global nitrogen fertilizer and natural gas prices. These prices are sensitive to geopolitical developments, which can disrupt value chains and global trade in key sectors for Yara, such as energy, food production, and distribution. The Group's operations are also affected by sanctions, shifting alliances, trade barriers, tariff changes, and complex logistics resulting from geopolitical tensions.
Yara closely monitors geopolitical developments and adapts accordingly, strengthening its resilience through global scale, an optimized production network, cost efficiency, and vigilant tracking of market and political changes. The ongoing Middle East conflict continues to impact global energy and fertilizer markets. The blockage of the strait of Hormuz disrupts around 1/3 of global traded urea, but also other key raw materials for fertilizer production including gas, ammonia, phosphates and sulphur. The supply shock has led to significant price increase in global fertilizer prices. Yara has limited direct exposure to the region, and the primary impact on Yara's business both operationally and financially, will therefore depend on the development of global commodity markets relevant for Yara. Nevertheless, the financial impact of geopolitical events on Yara remains highly uncertain and challenging to forecast, as it depends on market price volatility and changes in trade and sourcing patterns. The Group did not experience operational disruptions from geopolitical situations with material impact on Yara's consolidated results in the first quarter of 2026.
As of March 31, 2026, Yara's trade payables to companies linked to Russian-sanctioned individuals amounted to USD 162 million, adjusted for exchange rates at the balance sheet date. These payables relate to goods received prior to the imposition of sanctions and are reported under "Trade and other current payables" in the consolidated statement of financial position. The timing of these cash outflows remains uncertain, as future payments will depend on developments in sanction regulations.
Segment information
Operating segmentsThe operating segments presented are the key components of Yara's business, which are regularly assessed, monitored, and managed by Yara's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) as the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
Yara's operations comprise the following operating segments:
Europe
Americas
Africa & Asia
Global Production
Clean Ammonia
Industrial Solutions
There have been no material changes to the basis of segmentation or the measurement of segment profit or loss during the quarter. Refer to the latest annual consolidated financial statements for a detailed description of each segment's activities.
In the third quarter 2025, Yara implemented an organizational restructuring to further simplify its operating model and enhance strategic focus. As part of this process, the Pilbara ammonia plant in Australia was transferred from the Africa and Asia segment to the Global Production segment. In addition, the joint operation of Pilbara Nitrates was transferred from the Africa and Asia segment to the Industrial Solutions segment to reflect its downstream market orientation. Comparative figures have been restated accordingly.

The change in effective tax rate mainly reflects shifts in the geographic distribution of taxable income, as no material special items impacted the effective tax rate during the period.
Tax contingenciesInformation about contingent tax liabilities was disclosed in note 5.5 in the Annual Report for 2025. There have been no material changes to contingencies in 2026 except for the following:
Two subsidiaries involved in the same case have received reassessment decisions from the tax authorities relating to interest deductions and liquidation effects of internal group positions. The decisions are consistent with draft decisions received in 2024. Yara disagrees with the reassessments and intends to appeal them. In aggregate, the reassessments increase income taxes by approximately USD 100 million, of which around half has already been provided for. The exposure and related provision are included in the tax contingency disclosures in the 2025 Annual Report. The decisions had no impact on the tax expense for the first quarter, and no immediate cash outflow is expected due to available tax loss carry forwards.

¹ Additions to PP&E other than AuC in 2025 is USD 421 million. The net amount includes USD 9 million reduction to decommissioning assets related to buildings, this is mainly due to increase in discounting rate.
² An amount of USD 27 million has been recognized as a reduction to AuC due to subsidies.
³ Following the transformation project at the Tertre site in Belgium, asset-specific impairments were fully offset by the reversal of impairments allocated to production assets
that will remain in use at the same site.
Leases expensed in the quarter amounted to USD 14 million (1Q 2025: USD 14 million), and refer to
leases with variable payments, low-value leases, or short-term leases.

At 31 March 2026, the fair value of non-current debt, including the current portion, was USD 3,534 million, compared with a carrying value of USD 3,551 million. During the quarter, the difference between fair value and carrying value shifted from USD 19 million higher than the carrying value to USD 17 million lower. This change was primarily driven by higher long-term risk-free rates, which increased the discount rates applied in the fair value calculation.
There were no significant changes in Yara's non-current interest-bearing debt profile during the quarter. At the end of the quarter, USD 1,550 million remain available under Yara's undrawn long-term facilities. A further USD 730 million is available through unused short-term credit facilities with various banks.

Reconciliation of Alternative performance measures in the Yara Group
Yara makes regular use of the following non-GAAP financial alternative performance measures (APMs), both in absolute terms and comparatively from period to period:
EBITDA
EBITDA, excluding special items
Return on invested capital (ROIC)
Fixed cost
Net interest-bearing debt
Net debt / equity ratio
Net debt / EBITDA, excluding special items ratio
Adjusted earnings/(loss) per share
Definitions and explanations for the use of these APMs are described herein, including reconciliations of the APMs to the most directly reconcilable line item, subtotal or total presented in the financial statements.
"Premium Generated" and "Net Operating Capital Days" were measures in Yara's structured improvement program (YIP), initiated in 2016. With the conclusion of this program in 2025 and a subsequent strategy update communicated at Yara's Capital Markets Day in January 2026, the company has decided to discontinue reporting on both metrics. "Premium Generated" previously represented Yara's commercial performance by measuring its ability to achieve a price premium over alternative commodity products, while "Net Operating Capital Days" tracked operational efficiency. Moving forward, Yara will focus on EBITDA and ROIC as the primary financial performance indicators, reflecting the company's commitment to ongoing improvement and aligning with updated strategic priorities.
EBITDAEarnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is used for providing consistent information on Yara's operating performance and debt servicing ability. EBITDA, as defined by Yara, includes operating income/(loss), share of net income/(loss) in equity-accounted investees, and interest income and other financial income. It excludes depreciation, amortization and impairment loss. Yara's definition of EBITDA may differ from that of other companies.
EBITDA, excluding special itemsEBITDA, excluding special items is used to better reflect the underlying performance in the reporting period, adjusting for items which are not primarily related to the period in which they are recognized.
Special itemsYara defines "special items" as items in the results which are not regarded as part of underlying business performance for the period. These comprise restructuring related items, contract derivatives, impairments and other items which are not primarily related to the period in which they are recognized, subject to a minimum value of USD 7.5 million per item within a 12-month period. "Contract derivatives" are commodity-based derivative gains or losses which are not the result of active exposure or position management by Yara. Together with impairments, these are defined as special items regardless of amount. See table "Special items" for details.

Return on invested capital (ROIC) is defined as Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) divided by average invested capital calculated on a 12-month rolling average basis. NOPAT is defined as operating income/(loss) adding back amortization and impairment of intangible assets other than goodwill, as well as adding interest income on late payments and net income/(loss) from equity-accounted investees, reduced with a tax cost calculated based on a 25 percent flat rate. Average invested capital is defined as total current assets excluding cash and cash equivalents and adding a normalized cash level of USD 200 million, reduced for total current liabilities excluding current interest-bearing debt and current portion of non-current interest-bearing debt, and adding property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill, and associates and joint ventures.
NOPAT and average invested capital are defined and reconciled as components in the reporting of ROIC as an APM. They are not considered to be separate APMs.

Fixed cost refers to the subtotal "Operating costs and expenses" in the consolidated statement of income minus variable product costs (raw materials, energy, freight), other variable operating expenses, depreciation, amortization and impairment losses. The reported figures are further adjusted for items not considered part of the underlying business performance for the period (see section "Special items" for details). Fixed cost is reported on a rolling 12-month basis.

Yara reports the Group's net interest-bearing debt, net debt / equity ratio and net debt / EBITDA, excluding special items ratio to provide information on the Group's financial position with reference to the targeted capital structure, as communicated in Yara's financial policy. In addition, Yara's reporting of net interest-bearing debt highlights key development factors which supplement the consolidated statement of cash flows. Net interest-bearing debt is defined by Yara as cash and cash equivalents and other liquid assets, reduced for current and non-current interest-bearing debt, and lease liabilities. The net debt / equity ratio is calculated as net interest-bearing debt divided by shareholders' equity plus non-controlling interests. The net debt / EBITDA, excluding special items ratio, is calculated as net interest-bearing debt divided by EBITDA, excluding special items on a 12-month rolling basis.

Yara makes use of adjustments to Basic earnings/(loss) per share (EPS) to reflect the Group's underlying performance. These adjustments lead to reporting of two different APMs; Adjusted EPS excluding foreign currency exchange gain/(loss), and Adjusted EPS excluding foreign currency exchange gain/(loss) and special items (after tax). For simplicity, the tax effect on foreign currency exchange gain/(loss) and special items is calculated based on the relevant statutory tax rate.
