ICL Group (NYSE:ICL), a leading global specialty minerals company, delivered higher fourth-quarter sales and adjusted profitability for 2025, driven by resilient demand in its core specialty crop nutrition and food solutions businesses.
However, GAAP results were significantly impacted by $239 million in unusual adjustments tied to the execution of the company's new strategic direction, including the discontinuation of non-core projects and a provision related to historical water extraction fees.
In the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, consolidated sales rose 6% year over year to $1.701 billion from $1.601 billion.
Operating income swung to a loss of $16 million compared with income of $147 million a year earlier, primarily due to the one-time charges.
Adjusted operating income increased 17% to $223 million from $190 million, while adjusted EBITDA climbed 10% to $380 million from $347 million, reflecting underlying operational strength and margin improvement in priority segments.
Diluted earnings per share were a loss of $0.06 versus earnings of $0.06 in the prior-year quarter.
