Adama 报告第一季度收益和销售额下降，受到农作物价格下跌和货币汇率影响的影响。
这家总部位于以色列特拉维夫的公司表示，其净利润为 $9440 万，而一年前为 $9870 万。收入从去年同期的 $909.7 百万下降 4.7% 至 $866.7 百万。亚太地区的收入下降幅度最大，为 17.3%，而北美则持平。
Commenting on the results, Yang Xingqiang, chairman, said, “In this challenging time for the agricultural industry, we have seen both lower crop prices placing pressure on growers to reduce their spending, as well as the impact of significant currency headwinds in all markets. However, the strong joint effort by our entire team across the globe ensured that we were able to adjust to these adverse market conditions, allowing the company to deliver excellent financial results. We remain well positioned to capitalize on our unique business to drive further growth going forward.”
Chen Lichtenstein, president and CEO of Adama, commented, “Our resilient performance this quarter, which compares favorably to our sector, demonstrates the robustness of our diversified business and wide product offering focused on addressing farmers’ needs across the globe. We generated an overall increase in volumes of over 2% during the first quarter, despite the difficult market conditions. We have also shown that, even in less than optimal times, our focus on thoughtful management of our business with an emphasis on profitability allowed the company to maintain and even improve its adjusted net income, operating profit and EBITDA margins, as well as improve significantly its cash flow. We continue to invest in our integrated platform and further enhance our portfolio of solutions we deliver to farmers worldwide.”
中国业务更新
根据其长期战略，安道麦正在采取措施将其定位为作物保护行业的全球领先公司，并在中国占据重要地位。该公司正在加紧努力，以实现 2011 年与中国化工农化部门 CNAC 合并的内在潜力。为执行这一战略，公司于 2014 年 10 月签署了最终协议，收购中国化工集团旗下四家中国公司（中国业务）的控制权。
2014 年下半年，安道麦准备在纽约证券交易所首次公开发行股票，旨在筹集收购中国业务所需的资金。然而，由于不利的股票市场状况，公司决定推迟公开发行。
鉴于发售推迟，公司及其股东正在研究执行公司与中国业务之间业务合并的各种可能性，无论是通过完成最初约定的收购，还是以不同的方式。公司还目前正在考虑其未来上市的选择，包括上市地点和上市时间，所有这些都是根据不同市场的优势和市场条件的发展。
