Adama 公布 2014 年利润增长 19.1%，这得益于拉丁美洲、欧洲和北美的产品销售增加。
Adama 表示，在与准备首次公开募股和员工提前退休准备金相关的一次性成本之前，今年的净收入增长了近 15% 至 $146 百万。
该公司由中国化工的农化部门 CNAC 控股，第四季度净亏损扩大至 $32.6 百万，而去年同期为亏损 $29.1 百万。该期间收入增长 2.8% 至 $674.2 百万。
全年，调整后的净收入从 2013 年的 $127.1 百万攀升 19.1% 至 $151.3 百万。全年收入增加 4.7% 至 $32.2 亿。
Adama Chairman Yang Xingqiang said, “The past year was an exceptional period for Adama as we took a number of steps to position our organization for long-term growth. Most importantly, we laid the groundwork for our expansion into China, a vital and fast-growing market with significant untapped potential.”
Xingqiang said that with investments underway in a global formulation center and R&D hub in China, as well as combining with the China business, “Adama is building the foundation of a leading platform, which will allow the company to fully capitalize on this major growth opportunity.”
Chen Lichtenstein, Adama president and chief executive officer, commented on the company’s new organizational structure unveiled in 2014. “We divided our global commercial operations into seven regional clusters, to enable better support and tighter delivery across our geographies. We also set up a designated division for Innovation, Development, Research and Registration (IDR), which, by managing and coordinating all these activities, will drive and focus our efforts to further increase the differentiation and innovation in our product offering.”

Citing adverse market conditions, Adama postponed its planned IPO on the New York Stock Exchange in late 2014. “Various possibilities” are being examined regarding executing the business combination between the company and the China business, “whether by consummating the acquisition as originally agreed, or in a different manner.”
The company said it is also considering its options regarding a future flotation, including both the listing venue and its timing, “all in accordance with the advantages of the different markets and the developments in market conditions.”
