OCI Global Reports H2 2024 Results

AMSTERDAM, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hassan Badrawi, CEO of OCI Global commented:

"2024 has been a year of pivotal transformation for OCI Global. We have successfully executed a series of strategic transactions, significantly strengthened our balance sheet, and delivered exceptional returns to our shareholders. These milestones reflect our agility in navigating evolving market conditions while reinforcing our deep value creation ethos.

Specifically, in the second half of 2024, we announced the divestment of OCI Methanol to Methanex and completed the divestments of our entire Fertiglobe equity stake to ADNOC, Iowa Fertilizer Company to Koch Industries, and OCI Clean Ammonia([1] )to Woodside Energy. These transactions will collectively amount to over $11.6 billion in gross proceeds, which has allowed us to repay approximately $1.8 billion in debt and return $3.3 billion in cash distributions to shareholders in Q4 2024. An additional cash distribution of up to $1 billion ($4.75 per share) is further planned for Q2 2025, subject to the necessary approvals. This would take OCI's cash returns to shareholders to $6.4 billion over the course of a four-year period and bring total returns to shareholders via buybacks, share and cash distributions to more than $21 billion since our original listing in 1999.

Looking ahead to 2025, our priority remains executing key outstanding deliverables including finalizing the OCI Methanol transaction, achieving Project Completion for OCI Clean Ammonia, and leveraging the operational excellence and strategic value of our European Nitrogen assets against a supportive European market backdrop. Latterly, our nitrogen production facility in Geleen, independent ammonia import terminal in Rotterdam and leading pan-European distribution platform are positioned favorably with respect to recent rationalization in the industry and increasing ammonia throughput into Europe; OCI is set to benefit further in the medium- to longer-term based on growing regulatory support and our expectation of normalized gas pricing.

Beyond this, with a leaner, more agile and streamlined organization, OCI Global is well placed to navigate its future supported by financial strength and strategic optionality."

Financial Highlights

FY 2024 Key Highlights

    --  OCI Global (Euronext: OCI) reported FY 2024 Total Operations (Continuing
        and Discontinued Operations) revenue of $4,084 million compared to
        $5,022 million in FY 2023, and FY 2024 Total Operations adjusted EBITDA
        of $826 million compared to $1,214 million in FY 2023.
    --  OCI reported FY 2024 Continuing Operations (European Nitrogen and
        Corporate Entities segments) revenue of $975 million, an increase of 3%
        YoY and an FY 2024 adjusted EBITDA loss of $32 million compared to a
        loss of $126 million in the prior year.
    --  FY 2024 adjusted EBITDA for European Nitrogen (OCI's sole operating
        segment within Continuing Operations today) was $55 million compared to
        an adjusted EBITDA loss of $51 million in FY 2023. Earnings benefited
        from an improvement in volumes and lower average natural gas prices in
        2024 compared to 2023 despite an increase in gas pricing in H2 2024.

H2 2024 Key Highlights

    --  OCI reported H2 2024 Total Operations revenue of $1,648 million, a
        decrease of 28% compared to the same period last year and H2 2024 Total
        Operations adjusted EBITDA of $234 million compared to $552 million in
        H2 2023, largely reflecting the deconsolidation of IFCo and Fertiglobe
        in the period.
    --  OCI reported H2 2024 Continuing Operations revenue of $466 million, a
        13% increase YoY while Continuing Operations adjusted EBITDA saw a $39
        million loss in H2 2024 compared to a $14 million loss in H2 2023. Given
        recent divestments, OCI's corporate cost base does not yet fully reflect
        the reduced scope and scale of the Continuing Operations. As such,
        underlying corporate costs reported within Corporate Entities more than
        offset earnings from European Nitrogen in the period.
    --  H2 2024 revenue for European Nitrogen was $466 million while adjusted
        EBITDA was $7 million; this compares to $415 million and $20 million in
        H2 2023, respectively. Notwithstanding a +40% YoY increase in
        own-produced sales, European Nitrogen adjusted EBITDA deteriorated YoY
        as a result of lower nitrate pricing, higher and more volatile gas
        prices, other cost inflation and a reduced benefit from natural gas
        hedge gains.
    --  H2 2024 underlying corporate costs excluding one-offs within Corporate
        Entities were $46 million compared to $34 million in H2 2023. The YoY
        increase primarily reflects the cessation of corporate recharges for
        divested businesses, combined with a lag in achieved cost savings
        relative to the timing of transaction closings in 2024. Corporate costs
        also include certain stranded and restructuring costs not considered as
        one-offs. OCI continues to make substantial progress in right-sizing its
        corporate cost base to better serve the continuing structure and scale
        of the business, with corporate headcount 70% lower today compared to
        its peak in 2023. OCI expects to beat its previously guided target of
        $30 - $40 million of corporate costs on a run-rate basis by the end of
        2025.
    --  Reported net profit attributable to shareholders from Total Operations
        was $4,969 million in H2 2024 compared to a reported net loss of $230
        million in H2 2023, reflecting a $4,938 million gain from the sale of
        subsidiaries related to the sale of IFCo, Fertiglobe and OCI Clean
        Ammonia in H2 2024. Reported net profit attributable to shareholders
        from Continuing Operations was $4 million in H2 2024 compared to a
        reported net loss of $104 million in H2 2023.
    --  The adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders from Total Operations
        was $53 million in H2 2024 compared to an adjusted net loss of $141
        million in H2 2023. For Continuing Operations, the adjusted net loss
        attributable to shareholders was $63 million in H2 2024 compared to an
        adjusted net loss of $95 million in H2 2023.

Free Cash Flow and Net Debt Highlights

    --  Operating free cash outflow from Continuing Operations in H2 2024 was
        $250 million compared to a $449 million outflow in H2 2023. The H2 2024
        cash outflow reflects exceptional costs related to the strategic review
        and cost optimization initiatives, as well as seasonal working capital
        movements in OCI's European Nitrogen business. The seasonal working
        capital impact has been more acute this year due to the conflation of
        delayed purchasing activity by farmers with higher input prices for
        producers on account of rapidly increasing gas prices in H2 2024.
        Longer-term, OCI expects to benefit from materially lower gas prices as
        TTF reverts to historical norms, as well as improved fertilizer pricing
        supported by the proposed introduction of CBAM in 2026 and the proposed
        implementation of progressive Russian and Belarusian import tariffs from
        1 July 2025.
    --  Operating free cash outflow also includes maintenance capital
        expenditures, as well as tax, cash interest and lease payments.
    --  Capital expenditure including maintenance and growth capex for
        Continuing Operations was $29 million in H2 2024 compared to $80 million
        in H2 2023.
    --  Total project spend for OCI Clean Ammonia in H2 2024 amounted to $294
        million of which $155 million was spent after the transaction closed on
        30 September 2024. Total project spend as of 31 December 2024 was $954
        million compared to a total project budget of $1.55 billion, including
        contingencies. From an accounting perspective, OCI Clean Ammonia
        expenditures following the 30 September 2024 close date are recorded as
        payments against a liability. Previously, spend has been categorized
        either as growth capital expenditure in Discontinued Operations or as
        pre-operating costs within the EBITDA of Discontinued Operations.
    --  Net cash from Continuing Operations was $1,371 million as of 31 December
        2024 compared to a net debt position of $2,194 million as of 30 June
        2024, and a net debt position of $2,001 million on 31 December 2023. The
        end-Q4 net cash position follows the closing of the Fertiglobe
        transaction in October 2024 and payment of the previously announced
        EUR14.50 extraordinary distribution in November 2024. The reported net
        debt/cash position for Continuing Operations for this period as well as
        the comparative period represents a deconsolidation of the balance sheet
        of Discontinued Operations.

Key Strategic and Business Highlights

2024 has been a defining year for OCI, as the company executed several transformative strategic initiatives to unlock shareholder value and position itself for the future. Notable milestones in H2 included:

    --  Effective 15 October 2024, Mr. Hassan Badrawi was appointed Chief
        Executive Officer (CEO) of OCI and Mr. Beshoy Guirguis assumed the role
        of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of OCI. Concurrently, Mr. Ahmed
        El-Hoshy stepped down as CEO of OCI to continue in his full-time role as
        CEO of Fertiglobe.


    --  On 8 September 2024, OCI entered into a binding equity purchase
        agreement for the sale of 100% of the equity interests in its global
        methanol business ("OCI Methanol") to Methanex Corporation ("Methanex")
        for a purchase price consideration of $2.05 billion on a cash-free
        debt-free basis. The transaction is expected to close in Q2 2025 and
        positions OCI favorably with regards to ongoing exposure to the methanol
        industry, with future upside optionality.     - Pursuant to the sale
        announcement, OCI announced the accelerated repurchase of its 11% and 4%
        minority stakes in OCI Methanol from Alpha Dhabi Holding PJSC and ADQ
        respectively for a total consideration of $335 million, including the
        release of final dividends due.     - Concerning the dispute over
        certain shareholder rights between OCI and its joint venture partner
        Proman with respect to the Natgasoline asset, after the Delaware Court
        of Chancery's ruling in OCI's favor on 29 January 2025, Proman filed a
        notice of appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court on 28 February 2025.
        Proman subsequently irrevocably withdrew its appeal and, as a result,
        the Court of Chancery's ruling in OCI's favor is now final. Following
        this successful resolution, OCI's indirect interest in the Natgasoline
        joint venture will be included as part of Methanex's acquisition of OCI
        Methanol. The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors
        of both OCI and Methanex and remains subject to receipt of certain
        regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.
    --  On 5 August 2024, OCI entered into a binding equity purchase agreement
        for the sale of 100% of its equity interest in its Clean Ammonia project
        currently under construction in Beaumont, Texas ("OCI Clean Ammonia",
        "Beaumont New Ammonia" or the "Project") to Woodside Energy Group Ltd
        ("Woodside") for a purchase price consideration of $2.35 billion on a
        cash-free debt-free basis and following a competitive process. On 30
        September 2024, OCI announced the successful closing of the transaction
        with the receipt of 80% of the cash proceeds - or approximately $1,880
        million and an additional $20 million adjustment for certain pre-paid
        expenses - and a deferred consideration of 20% - or approximately $470
        million - to be received at Project Completion([2]) expected in H2 2025.
        Subsequent to the closing date, final proceeds were adjusted for an
        additional $2 million of cash proceeds based upon actual net
        indebtedness and actual transaction expenses. OCI continues to be
        involved with the construction, commissioning, and start-up of the
        facility through Project Completion, with a financial obligation to pay
        for the remaining capital expenditure and costs to Project Completion.
        Construction is well advanced today with $954 million cash spent as of
        31 December 2024 (including both historical capital expenditure and
        certain pre-operating expenses). OCI expects a total investment cost
        through Project Completion of approximately $1.55 billion, including
        contingencies.
    --  On 29 August 2024, OCI announced the successful completion of the sale
        of 100% of its equity interests in Iowa Fertilizer Company LLC ("IFCo")
        to Koch Ag & Energy Solutions ("KAES") following a competitive process.
        The transaction also included the sale and transfer of specified
        contracts of N-7, the trading entity selling the product of IFCo, to
        KAES. The total consideration received was $3.6 billion in cash, which
        included an estimated net debt and working capital settlement. Net
        proceeds received by OCI amounted to approximately $2.6 billion, after
        adjusting for bond defeasance, mark to market on outstanding hedges, and
        other transaction related costs.
    --  On 15 October 2024, OCI announced the successful completion of the
        divestiture of 50% of the equity interests of Fertiglobe to Abu Dhabi
        National Oil Company P.J.S.C. ("ADNOC"), whereby OCI fully exited and
        monetized its entire equity stake. In line with the definitive agreement
        signed in December 2023 and as a result of completion, OCI received a
        net cash consideration of $3,185 million and a $362 million contingent
        consideration held in escrow upon closing of the deal, post-closing
        adjustments of $70 million. Collection of the contingent consideration
        is dependent on the materialization of certain indemnifications agreed
        as part of the transaction. Management's estimate is that the amount
        held in escrow will cover such indemnifications([3]).

The expected cumulative crystallization of approximately $11.6 billion of gross proceeds from these four transactions has afforded OCI significant flexibility to deliver on its capital allocation priorities, including deleveraging at a gross level, as well as returning a meaningful quantum of capital to shareholders.

All OCI NV bank debt has now been repaid, including the revolving credit facility and bridge facility utilized during the transition period. The $698 million 2025 Senior Secured Notes were redeemed at par on 15 October 2024. Total debt repayment in H2 2024 amounted to $1,817 million. Remaining cash proceeds have been invested whilst OCI currently retains principal gross debt of $685 million, $600 million of which is in the form of its 2033 bonds. OCI's capital structure will be reviewed on the closing of the OCI Methanol transaction.

    --  Following the successful completion of the Fertiglobe and IFCo
        transactions, OCI paid an extraordinary distribution of EUR14.50 per
        share in aggregate (~$3.3 billion) to shareholders on 14 November 2024
        via a capital repayment.
    --  OCI expects to make a further extraordinary distribution of up to $1
        billion through another repayment of capital during Q2 2025, subject to
        the necessary approvals.

Total, Continuing and Discontinued Operations Operational Highlights

Further to the announcement of the expected divestiture of OCI's equity holdings in OCI Methanol, this segment is now classified as Discontinued Operations. Discontinued Operations for the second half of 2024 also includes results for IFCo, Fertiglobe and OCI Clean Ammonia for the period preceding the closing of the respective transactions. The sale of IFCo to KAES completed on 29 August 2024, the sale of Fertiglobe to ADNOC completed on 15 October 2024 and the sale of OCI Clean Ammonia to Woodside completed on 30 September 2024([4]).

Expenditures for OCI Clean Ammonia following its close date are recorded as payments against a liability. Prior to the close date, spend on OCI Clean Ammonia was categorized either as growth capital expenditure in Discontinued Operations or as pre-operating costs within the EBITDA of Discontinued Operations.

Continuing Operations as presented in this report reflects costs associated with the Corporate Entities and the operational performance of the European Nitrogen segment.

Total Operations (Continuing and Discontinued)

    --  12-month rolling recordable incident rate to 31 December 2024 was 0.43
        incidents per 200,000 working hours([5]).

    --  H2 2024 own-product sales from Total Operations were 3,593 million
        tonnes, 31% lower against the same period last year:     - Total
        own-produced nitrogen product sales volumes of 2,968 thousand tonnes
        decreased by 34% compared to H2 2023. The material reduction reflects
        the deconsolidation of Nitrogen US and Fertiglobe post divestment in H2
        2024.
    --  Realized gas hedge losses from total operations were $69 million in H2
        2024 compared to $73 million in H2 2023.

Continuing Operations (European Nitrogen and Corporate Entities)

    --  European Nitrogen reported H2 2024 revenues of $466 million, 12% higher
        than the $415 million reported for H2 2023. The improvement was
        primarily driven by higher own-produced sales volumes, offsetting weaker
        nitrate pricing:     - Own-produced sales volumes in the segment
        increased 40% YoY in H2 2024 to 918 thousand tonnes compared to the
        same-period last year, reflecting stronger CAN production, the launch of
        AdBlue (DEF) sales in Q2 2024, and improved asset utilization rates
        (AURs). Melamine volumes in H2 2024 also increased by 41% YoY compared
        to H2 2023 as market conditions improved.     - Selling prices for CAN
        were 10% lower in H2 2024 compared to the same period last year, while
        UAN prices decreased 6% YoY.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA for European Nitrogen was $7 million in H2 2024, a
        reduction from $20 million in H2 2023. Notwithstanding higher
        own-produced sales volumes, profitability was impacted by weaker nitrate
        pricing, higher and more volatile gas prices, other cost inflation and a
        reduced benefit from gas hedge gains in H2 2024 compared to H2 2023.
        Despite signs of early spring demand towards the end of the second half,
        OCI's ability to pass on rising cost inflation was negatively impacted
        by purchaser price sensitivity in the period, exacerbated by the recent
        surge in imports of Russian mineral fertilizers into the European Union.
        As such, OCI welcomed the European Commission's proposal to impose
        progressive import tariffs on Russian and Belarusian nitrogen
        fertilizers from 1 July 2025.
    --  Within Corporate Entities, H2 2024 underlying corporate costs excluding
        one-offs were $46 million compared to $34 million in H2 2023. The YoY
        increase primarily reflects the cessation of corporate recharges for
        divested businesses, combined with a lag in achieved cost savings
        relative to the timing of transaction closings in 2024. Corporate costs
        also include certain stranded and restructuring costs not considered as
        one-offs.

Discontinued Operations (OCI Methanol)

    --  The Methanol business includes the production and sale of conventional
        methanol, biomethanol, ammonia (produced at OCI Beaumont) as well as
        results from trading activities.
    --  The Methanol business reported H2 2024 revenue of $526 million compared
        to $508 million in H2 2023, and adjusted EBITDA of $91 million in H2
        2024 compared to $39 million in H2 2023. The increase reflects higher
        methanol prices, reduced gas prices and improved ammonia pricing at OCI
        Beaumont. H2 2024 realized gas hedge losses of $39 million were largely
        unchanged from the $40 million gas hedge loss reported in H2 2023.
        Excluding realized gas hedge losses, adjusted EBITDA was $130 million in
        H2 2024 compared to $78 million in H2 2023.
    --  Total own-produced methanol sales volumes of 624 thousand tonnes
        represented a 15% decrease in H2 2024 compared to the same period last
        year. Production for the half was unfavorably impacted by an unplanned
        shutdown at Natgasoline from September 2024. Natgasoline resumed
        production at the end of December and operations have been running at
        nameplate capacity year to-date in 2025. As of the end of February 2025,
        Natgasoline has collected $55 million from insurance against the event
        and expects to receive a further payment in the coming weeks.


    --  OCI's HyFuels business contributed $18 million to adjusted EBITDA during
        H2 2024 compared to $28 million in H2 2023. OCI's HyFuels business is
        the world's largest producer of green methanol and a leader in green
        methanol transportation fuels applications. The medium-term outlook for
        the HyFuels business is positive, set to benefit from strong regulatory
        tailwinds mandating increasing emissions reduction across road, marine
        and aviation sectors. OCI expects both demand and pricing (premiums) to
        benefit from increasing uptake of renewable fuels of non-biological
        origins (RFNBO) across these end-markets.

Market Outlook

Nitrogen

The outlook for OCI's European Nitrogen business is positive driven by healthy supply and demand dynamics, an expectation of normalizing gas markets, and supported by evolving regulatory measures including the introduction of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in 2026 and the proposed implementation of progressive tariffs on Russian and Belarusian nitrogen imports from 1 July 2025.

Ammonia

    --  Northwest Europe ammonia prices increased to an average $581/t in H2
        2024, a 22% increase compared to the average in H1 2024 driven by higher
        European gas prices, supply issues in Trinidad and North Africa, and
        delays in new capacity in the United States.



    --  OCI continues to see supportive ammonia markets in the medium-term
        driven by:     - Rising near term downstream demand and curtailment of
        European capacity: Within Europe, elevated production costs are
        threatening the viability of higher-cost domestic ammonia production,
        leading to curtailments and increased reliance on imported merchant
        ammonia. Since 2023, approximately 2 mtpa of ammonia capacity has either
        been shut down indefinitely or permanently mothballed, representing
        approximately 10% of total European nameplate capacity of 19.5 mtpa
        before closures. A further 10% of swing nameplate capacity was
        temporarily shut down at the start of 2025. OCI European Nitrogen's
        ammonia production facilities are competitively positioned to capitalize
        upon any rationalization of the European industry with natural gas
        efficiencies of 32 MMBtu per ton of ammonia production, outperforming
        the EU average of 37MMBtu per ton. Moreover, OCI's uniquely situated
        Rotterdam terminal provides strategic flexibility to import ammonia
        during periods of elevated natural gas pricing, serving both proprietary
        needs as well as those of third parties.     - Introduction of the
        European Union's CBAM: With CBAM set to enter its definitive phase on 1
        January 2026, the introduction of regulated carbon costs for importers
        is projected to further support European ammonia and fertilizer prices. 
        - Demand for low-carbon ammonia from new industries such as fuel for
        power generation, as a maritime bunker fuel, and as a carrier of clean
        hydrogen. OCI views ammonia a highly strategic component of value chains
        across Europe and integral to the region's ambitious decarbonization
        plans.

Nitrates and other Premium Products

    --  The outlook for nitrate prices in 2025 is positive, underpinned by a
        seasonal increase in fertilizer demand ahead of the spring planting
        season, support from higher urea prices and attractive European nitrate
        premiums over urea. H2 2024 urea Egypt prices increased by 6%
        sequentially and prices have continued to rise in 2025 to $458/t as at
        the end of February. Fundamental demand for grains remains strong while
        prolonged disruptions in supply chains and trade flows present
        additional upside potential for crop prices, boosting farmer
        affordability to the benefit of fertilizer markets.
    --  We expect further near-term support for nitrates demand from the
        European Commission's recent proposal of progressive import tariffs on
        Russian and Belarusian nitrogen fertilizers from 1 July 2025. If voted
        through, the impact on European nitrates demand could be material given
        European producers' currently constrained ability to pass on higher
        costs due to competition from low gas cost Russian imports.
    --  The medium- to longer-term nitrates outlook is supported by CBAM
        regulation and positive decarbonization trends, which dictate a
        preference for nitrates over urea given higher nitrogen use efficiency,
        and since CAN is easier to decarbonize than urea with low carbon
        ammonia.
    --  The European Commission has implemented a new duty structure for
        melamine imports into the European Union, which came into effect in
        February 2025. The previous fixed duty system has been replaced with an
        ad valorem (%) duty, with the potential to significantly increase import
        costs for Chinese melamine. This duty structure could result in higher
        price floors and improved margins for melamine sales, benefitting

Methanol

    --  US methanol prices rose significantly in H2 2024, with spot prices up
        12% and contract prices up 19% from H1 2024 due to supply constraints
        (reduced feedstock in the Atlantic basin), plant outages, stable demand
        and rising Chinese MTO production (the latter reaching ~81% utilization
        rates excluding MTP towards the end of December). Prices in Europe, a
        net importer of methanol, also rose in H2 2024, increasing 6% on average
        compared to H1 2024.
    --  Methanol fundamentals remain positive in the medium- to long-term,
        notwithstanding global macroeconomic uncertainties, with demand expected
        to outpace limited new export capacity expected globally within the next
        five years. Methanol is a key beneficiary from growth in industrial
        activity, supporting traditional chemical demand. Two new MTOs are under
        construction and are expected to add significant methanol demand over
        the next few years. Government policies are encouraging new applications
        for methanol due to emissions benefits, driving demand for methanol as a
        marine and road fuel.

Reconciliation to Alternative Performance Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is an Alternative Performance Measure (APM) that intends to give a clear reflection of the underlying performance of OCI's operations. The main APM adjustments in the second half of 2024 and 2023 relate to:

    --  Commodity hedge gains or losses: OCI does not apply hedge accounting on
        commodity hedges, therefore unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses
        are recognized in the P&L statement. Unrealized mark-to-market gains or
        losses are excluded from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net profit.     -
        A negative adjustment of $2 million within Continuing Operations was
        made for unrealized mark-to-market gains on natural gas hedge
        derivatives included within reported EBITDA in H2 2024.
    --  A $3 million realized natural gas hedge loss from hedges transferred
        from IFCo to OCI N.V. was reclassified from Continuing to Discontinued
        Operations in H2 2024.
    --  Other Continuing Operations adjustments in H2 2024 include $30 million
        in expenses and costs related to ongoing transactions; this compares to
        $6 million in H2 2023.
