ICL Signs Agreements for the Supply of Potash to Customers in China during 2023 and Provides an Update to its 2023 EBITDA Guidance



   Item 1

ICL Signs Agreements for the Supply of Potash to Customers in China during 2023 and Provides
an Update to its 2023 EBITDA Guidance
 
ICL hereby announces that as part of its 2022-2024 Chinese framework agreements, ICL has signed contracts with its customers in China to supply an aggregate amount of 800,000 metric tons of potash, with mutual options for an additional 350,000 metric tons, to be supplied during 2023. The agreed selling price in the contracts is $307 per ton, which aligns with recent contracts settlements. For information regarding ICL’s 2022-2024 Chinese framework agreements, as well as for the 2022 agreements, see the Company’s announcement dated February 17, 2022 (Ref No.2022-02-017091).
 
Due to the lower than anticipated aforesaid China settlement price, ICL expects a negative impact on its 2023 EBITDA guidance of approximately $400M. In addition, a recovery in demand for flame retardants, which was expected in the second half of the year, has not yet begun to materialize. If such recovery is delayed until the end of 2023, it could result in a further reduction of approximately $200M in the Company’s 2023 EBITDA guidance. The Company reiterates that it is on track with regards to execution of its five-year plan, and does not expect these developments to have a material impact on it.
 
For information regarding ICL’s 2023 EBITDA guidance as indicated in its Q1 results, see ICL’s 2023 Q1 Financial Results and Business Overview dated May 10, 2023 (Ref No.2023-02-049797). For details regarding the Company’s five-year plan, see the Company’s announcement dated October 25, 2022 (Ref No.2022-02-129421).
