"ICL delivered solid growth across all key financial metrics in the first quarter, including a 14% increase in sales, a 15% increase in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS improvement of 22%, with sales growth in all four business segments. This successful performance was achieved as the company demonstrated exceptional execution and operational resilience, while continuing to benefit from our distinctive global presence with regionally diversified operations. The first quarter also included the acquisition of Bartek Ingredients and the establishment of a specialty fertilizer production facility in India -- proof points that we are executing against our strategy to drive growth in specialty crop nutrition and specialty food solutions," said Elad Aharonson, president and CEO of ICL.

"After this successful first quarter, where we benefitted from higher bromine and potash prices -- which are expected to remain elevated -- we are raising our guidance by $100 million. Looking ahead, we expect to continue to benefit from the current pricing environment, and we will also work to manage raw material costs and other headwinds by swiftly navigating changes in market conditions," concluded Aharonson.

The company increased its guidance for full year 2026 consolidated adjusted EBITDA to $1.5 billion to $1.7 billion from $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion. The company continues to expect Potash sales volumes of between 4.5 million and 4.7 million metric tons. (1a)

      and North America offset lower selling prices. 
 
   --  Commodity phosphates: Demand varied by region, with significant price 
      volatility, as the escalation of the Middle East accelerated price 
      momentum.

      decreased on lower volumes. Gross profit also declined, due to less 
      profitable product mix. 
 
   --  Europe: Sales increased on higher prices, higher volumes and favorable 
      exchange rate fluctuations, which also resulted in higher gross profit. 
 
 
   --  North America: Sales were flat, with higher prices and lower volumes. 
      Gross profit also remained stable, due to higher raw material costs. 
 
   --  Asia: Sales growth was driven by higher prices, higher volumes and 
      favorable exchange rates, while gross profit was flat, due to higher raw 
      material costs. 
 
   --  India: Established a new specialty and water--soluble fertilizer (WSF) 
      production facility in Maharashtra, to expand local manufacturing 
      capabilities, support growing market demand and strengthen supply--chain 
      resilience. 
 
   --  Product trends: Specialty agriculture sales increased on both higher 
      volumes, mainly in China and Europe, and higher prices. Turf and 
      ornamental sales increased, as turf and landscape volumes were higher, 
      particularly in Europe.

Guidance

(1a) The company only provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis. The company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to GAAP net income (loss), due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting, and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, in particular, because special items such as restructuring, litigation, and other matters, used to calculate projected net income (loss) vary dramatically based on actual events, the company is not able to forecast on a GAAP basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a GAAP calculation of projected net income (loss) at this time. The amount of these deductions may be material and therefore could result in projected GAAP net income (loss) being materially less than projected adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP). The guidance speaks only as of the date hereof. The company undertakes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news release or to reflect actual outcomes, unless required by law. The company provides guidance for consolidated adjusted EBITDA and for its Potash business the company provides sales volumes guidance. The company believes this information provides greater transparency, as the price of potash has stabilized over the past few years and consolidated adjusted EBITDA is now a more relevant metric for investors to evaluate the company's performance and compare its financial results between periods.

Non-GAAP Statement

The company discloses in this quarterly report non-IFRS financial measures titled adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the company's shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA. Management uses adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the company's shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. The company calculates adjusted operating income by adjusting our operating income to add certain items, as set forth in the reconciliation table under "Adjustments to reported operating, and net income (non-GAAP)" below. Some of these items may recur. Adjusted net income attributable to the company's shareholders is calculated by adjusting net income attributable to the company's shareholders to add certain items, as set forth in the reconciliation table under "Adjustments to reported operating, and net income (non-GAAP)" below, excluding the total tax impact of such adjustments. Diluted adjusted earnings per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted-average number of diluted ordinary shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before financing expenses, net, taxes on income, share in earnings of equity-accounted investees, depreciation and amortization, and certain adjustments presented in the reconciliation table under "Consolidated adjusted EBITDA, and diluted adjusted Earnings Per Share for the periods of activity" below, which were adjusted for in calculating the adjusted operating income. You should not view adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the company's shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share or adjusted EBITDA as a substitute for operating income or net income attributable to the company's shareholders determined in accordance with IFRS, and you should note that the definitions of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the company's shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA may differ from those used by other companies. Additionally, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, which may reduce the usefulness of the company's non-IFRS financial measures as tools for comparison. However, the company believes adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to the company's shareholders, diluted adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operations.

Management uses these non-IFRS measures to evaluate the company's business strategies and management performance. The company believes these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors because they improve the comparability of the financial results between periods and provide for greater transparency of key measures used to evaluate performance.
