The earnings call highlights a combination of strategic advancements and financial refinements, such as the formation of Nextida and successful refinancing efforts. However, these positives are tempered by notable declines in EBITDA and challenges within the renewable fuel segment, leading to a mixed outlook.

Company Guidance

During the Darling Ingredients Inc. second quarter 2025 conference call, the company provided guidance reflecting a positive outlook for the remainder of 2025, particularly in their core ingredients business. They reported a combined adjusted EBITDA of $249.5 million for the quarter, with expectations for full-year combined adjusted EBITDA to range between $1.05 billion to $1.1 billion. The guidance anticipates improvement driven by rising fat prices, which are expected to support the Feed Segment. Additionally, the company is planning for DGD to achieve full utilization by 2026 following a planned turnaround in the third quarter, despite current challenges in the renewables market. Darling Ingredients also highlighted their strategic advancement with the formation of Nextida, a joint venture in the health and wellness space, aimed at diversifying and growing in high-margin sectors.

Successful Refinancing and Financial Flexibility

Darling Ingredients successfully refinanced and upsized its Eurobond from EUR 515 million to EUR 750 million for 7 years at a fixed rate of 4.5%, providing a significant amount of financial flexibility and stability for the next 5 to 7 years.

Strategic Joint Venture in Health and Wellness

Announced the intention to form Nextida, a joint venture focused on the health and wellness space, aligning with the strategy to diversify and grow in high-margin, high-growth areas.

Improvement in Gross Margins

Positive Momentum in Feed Segment

Global rendering volumes are steady, with margin expansion both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year due to operational efficiency and improved premium ingredient pricing.
