“ICL exceeded expectations in the second quarter and reported solid growth across all key financial metrics, both on an annual and sequential basis, and each of our four businesses contributed to the strong sales performance.”

The company’s performance included an increase in net income to $137 million from $93 million a year earlier, while free cash flow grew by 34%. Potash sales volumes reached 1,081 thousand metric tons, an increase of 110 thousand metric tons year-over-year, supported by higher demand from China, India and Brazil.

ICL has formalized an enterprise-wide cost savings program, "Elevate," which aims to reduce the company's cost base and strengthen earnings. Implementation began in the third quarter of 2026, with the company expecting to realize significant savings starting in early 2027 and reaching over $350 million in annualized savings by the end of 2028.
“During the second quarter, we also formalized our enterprise-wide cost savings initiative, known as Elevate. This program is designed to reduce our cost base, support margin expansion, improve cash generation and strengthen earnings power.”

Looking ahead to 2027, the company plans to realign its organizational structure into three market-focused divisions: Nutrition Solutions, Industrial Products and Growing Solutions, with the current Essential Minerals segment continuing to manage upstream potash and phosphate production.
