Adama Agricultural Solutions（前身为 Makhteshim Agan）表示，随着销量的扩大，尤其是在拉丁美洲、北美和印度，其第二季度利润强劲增长。
这家总部位于以色列特拉维夫的公司公布的净收入为 $5940 万，比一年前的 $4810 万增加了 23.5%。由于销量增加，收入从去年同期的 $803.3 百万跃升 9% 至 $875.9 百万。排除货币影响收入增长 10.1%。
“Adama continued to grow strongly in the second quarter, led by double-digit sales growth in North America, Latin America, and Asia Pacific & Africa, generating continued momentum in our revenues and profits across all our key geographies,” said Yang Xingqiang, Adama chairman. He added that the company continues to make “important progress towards the establishment and integration of Adama’s commercial and operational platform in China.”
Chen Lichtenstein, Adama president and chief executive, said, ““Our results during the first half of the year demonstrate the company’s continued growth in all key territories despite challenging weather conditions in North America and drought in Australia. Additionally, our market reach and comprehensive product portfolio, which spans across the entire value chain, allowed us to deliver strong performance in most markets.”
Broken down geographically, Latin America saw the biggest sales gain in the quarter with a 21.3% rise to $169.6 million, on volume increases in Brazil and across the region, partially offset by lower selling prices. Europe is Adama’s biggest selling region by far, but it was also where the company recorded its only sales decline. It posted $336.1 million, down 1.3%, reflecting the short winter, which shifted the timing of some sales to the first quarter, followed by unseasonably cold and wet weather during the first half of the second quarter.
由于销量增加，北美销售额增长 16.4% 至 $175.5 百万。在亚太地区和非洲，尽管许多亚洲国家遭遇干旱，但销售额增长了 14.5% 至 $165.2 百万，销量增长尤其是在印度。
During the quarter, Adama began rolling out its new brand globally — a process that is expected to strengthen its commercial platform, which is focused on supporting local farmer needs with global expertise and quality solutions. Additionally, the company has begun to implement a new organizational structure to focus on putting into motion its growth strategy alongside the advancement of its strategic initiatives in China.
这些变化包括将公司的销售区域划分为重点集群，在管理团队中增加集群经理，以及在管理层内部建立一个执行委员会来监督持续的绩效。
Adama also said it continues to “evaluate business opportunities in China” with the potential to support the creation of a significant commercial, operational, and R&D infrastructure in the country, in a way that will contribute to the company’s presence in the Chinese market, strengthen its presence in the Asia-Pacific region and enhance its global capabilities.
