The earnings call presented a mixed outlook. While there were notable achievements in Crop Protection and bioenergy expansion, the company faced significant challenges with omega-3 profitability and increased leverage. The decision to explore outside equity for Seed Technologies indicates both potential growth and financial constraints.
Company Guidance
In the Nufarm Limited 1H25 results call, CEO Greg Hunt outlined several key metrics and strategic initiatives. The company reported an underlying EBIT of $103 million and earnings per share before material items of $7.02, with leverage standing at 4.5 times. Nufarm's Seed Technologies division generated over $200 million in annual revenue, driven by its hybrid canola, sorghum, and sunflower seeds platforms. Despite challenges in the omega-3 segment leading to a $28 million inventory write-down, the company plans a threefold expansion of carinata plantings by 2025. Nufarm is pursuing a $50 million reduction in annualized overhead costs by the end of FY25 and aims to reduce inventory by 25 days year-on-year by the same period. Moreover, capital expenditure is expected to be around $200 million in FY26. The company is exploring alternative structures for Seed Technologies to enhance growth, engaging UBS to assist in reviewing capital structure options and emphasizing the potential value in new technologies like Biomass Oil Trait.
Strong Performance in Crop Protection
Underlying EBIT from Crop Protection increased by 34% year-on-year, with improvements in APAC and Europe despite weather headwinds in Australia.
Expansion in Bioenergy
A significant 3x expansion in carinata area planted in 2025 compared to 2024, supported by a 10-year agreement with BP.
Reduction in Inventory Days
Achieved a 22-day year-on-year reduction in inventory, on track for a 25-day reduction by end of fiscal year 2025.
Strategic Partnerships
New agreements with Unilever and BP to develop Biomass Oil and a collaboration with Hort Innovation for a robotic sprayer in Australia.
