Adecoagro EBITDA Drops 60 Percent
(NYSE:AGRO) reported fiscal second quarter 2025 earnings on August 11, 2025, posting consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $55 million. Adjusted EBITDA was down 60% year-over-year compared to fiscal second quarter 2024, on sales of $392 million. Management confirmed operational resilience through flexible production strategies and signaled the early-stage testing of bitcoin mining in partnership with Tether as a potential high-margin outlet for surplus energy. (Note: Adecoagro's fiscal second quarter 2025 ended June 30, 2025.)
Quarterly sales totaled $392 million, though results were heavily impacted by a 20% year-over-year reduction in crushing volumes for the year-to-date period and sharp declines in crop and rice prices. Net debt rose 11% year-over-year to $699 million, driving net leverage to 2.3x amid short-term borrowings for working capital.
The collapse in profitability indicates ongoing exposure to weather, commodity volatility, and cost inflation, necessitating continued discipline in cost management and asset allocation to protect margins.
