Corteva delivered a strong first quarter performance with significant EBITDA growth and margin expansion, driven by operational excellence and strategic product launches. However, challenges such as currency headwinds, tariff impacts, and pricing pressure in crop protection remain. The overall outlook is positive, with strong growth expected in the seed business and corn planting.

Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

In the call discussing Corteva Agriscience's first quarter 2025 earnings, the company reaffirmed its full-year guidance due to strong performance metrics. They reported a 15% year-over-year increase in Q1 EBITDA, with nearly 400 basis points of margin expansion driven by effective cost execution across three growth platforms: Biologicals, CP new products, and seed out-licensing. Both business segments achieved double-digit EBITDA growth, primarily due to operational excellence, and they are on track to meet their $400 million net cost improvement target. Corteva anticipates a 5% increase in corn planting in the U.S., while Enlist beans are expected to be planted on over 65% of U.S. soybean acres. Globally, Corteva projects high single-digit volume gains in crop protection, which will offset low single-digit pricing headwinds. Additionally, the company is managing potential $50 million tariff impacts, but these are not expected to affect the full-year guidance.

Strong Start to 2025
