DowDuPont issues profit warning for agriculture business as severe weather hurt seed deliveries
DowDuPont Inc. said Thursday it expects its agriculture business to fall short of guidance for the first quarter after severe weather delayed seed deliveries into early April. "Less than 50% of planned seed deliveries in the last 5 days of the quarter occurred, resulting in a greater than anticipated impact on first quarter performance," the company said in a statement. "In this peak delivery period, under normal circumstances and based on history, the division would expect one day of U.S. seed sales to generate about $25 to $35 million in operating EBITDA." The division is now expected to record sales of $3.4 billion and operating EBITDA of about $665 million, down 11% and 25% versus the year-ago period, respectively. For the first half, the division is expecting sales to be down in the low-single digit percent and operating EBITDA to be 3% to 5% below the year-ago period. "Deliveries are on track with current expectations and the revised first half guidance reflects the possibility of reduced planted acres overall, lower than anticipated corn acres, and continued delays to the start of the planting season due to additional weather events," said the statement. The company is sticking with its full-year guidance for sales and operating EBITDA, and expects to overcome the first-half decline through price increases and new product launches, among other factors. Turning to its other businesses, DowDuPont is expecting specialty products to post sales of $5.4 billion, down 3% from a year ago, and operating EBITDA of $1.6 billion, flat versus the year-earlier period. That compares with earlier guidance of net sales and operating EBITDA to be down in the low-single digits. Materials science is expected to post sales of $10.8 billion and operating EBITDA of $1.9 billion, down 10% and 24% respectively. That is in line with previous guidance. Shares fell 0.5% premarket and are down 14.3% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 7.1%.
