Yara reports third quarter 2025 EBITDA excluding special items1 of USD 804 million compared with USD 585 million in second quarter 2024. Net income was USD 320 million compared with USD 286 million a year earlier.
Third quarter 2025 highlights:
EBITDA excl. special items1 of 804 MUSD, up 38% from 3Q24
Increasing returns through continued improvement focus and cost reductions, supported by favorable market conditions
Record high production2 and strong commercial performance
YTD 2025 adjusted earnings per share3 at 3.25 USD – up from 1.37 USD last year
“Our continuous focus on improvement is delivering solid results, and we are pleased to report another strong operational quarter. This quarter’s performance reflects higher margins, strong commercial execution, and record-breaking production levels for the third consecutive quarter. In parallel, we are ahead of schedule in our cost reduction program, further strengthening our returns,” said Svein Tore Holsether, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Yara makes progress on the improvement agenda to strengthen financial returns by driving sustainable profitability in core operations and pursuing value-accretive growth, supported by strict capital discipline. The group is prioritizing cash conversion by allocating resources to high-return core assets while scaling back non-core and lower-yield activities, ensuring increased capital productivity.
With the combination of cost reduction, portfolio optimization and a tightening nitrogen market, Yara’s financial position is set to strengthen with increased free cash flow and sustainable profitability. Net income year-to-date 2025 is USD 1,028 million, up from USD 306 million in 2024. While this is supported by a non-cash net foreign currency gain of USD 386 million, it also clearly demonstrates that Yara’s improvement focus yields increased results. This will enable improved shareholder returns through cash distributions and re-investment in value-accretive growth opportunities subject to double digit returns – such as renewing our ammonia portfolio by accessing low-cost ammonia through potential equity positions the US ammonia projects.

The headlong rush to build huge new datacenters, in order to support the growth of AI, is raising a number of concerns in the US – around the impact upon the climate crisis, water use and electricity bills. It’s also set to reshape American politics in potentially unusual ways.
Companies such as Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and Meta are pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into new datacenters that will form the backbone to the surging use of AI by businesses and the public.
This frenzy of building means that datacenters could account for more than 14% of the US’s total power demand by 2030, triple the amount it does now. Utilities predict that the same volume of electricity it would take to power six cities will be required just to keep data centers online by this time.
More, after this week’s most important reads.

“Meeting this demand will require considerably more electricity than is currently produced in the United States,” a recent report by McKinsey acknowledged of the new thirst for datacenters. “This spike in electricity needs is unprecedented.”
So where will this new power come from? Under Donald Trump’s vision, it will be from fossil fuels, not the wind turbines and solar panels the president disparages as “garbage” and unwanted in the US.
Trump has championed the growth of AI and sought to tear down environmental regulations that can slow the building of datacenters and the gas and coal plants that could power them. Forecasts for coal generation, which has been sliding for years in the US, have ticked up recently amid the AI boom and promises of direct subsidies from the Trump administration.
Clean energy does continue to grow in the US and datacenters could become more efficient over time. But the AI explosion carries a hefty climate risk if it remains hooked to fossil fuels – the International Energy Agency has warned that the amount of planet-heating gases from power plants that run datacenters could double by 2035.
For most Americans, though, there are more pressing worries that come with the new datacenters. As new facilities have sprouted in places like Virginia – which now has a region called “datacenter alley” – and in Texas, people have started voicing concerns about the billions of gallons of water they are sucking up to cool their computer hardware.

Households are also facing steeper bills to fund the new power generation and transmission projects needed for datacenters – electricity costs could rise by an average of 8% nationally in the next five years because of this, recent analysis has found.
Amid existing alarm over inflation, this sort of trend is unnerving to politicians of all stripes. Both Republican and Democratic leaning voters have expressed opposition to datacenters, making it risky for those running in certain congressional districts to echo Trump’s enthusiastic support for them.
If the datacenter boom is to be curbed then cost of living woes, rather than the climate crisis, will likely be the telling factor.
