Israel Chemicals (ICL) reported on Wednesday higher revenue and profit in the fourth quarter, beating expectations as potash prices rose and expenses fell at the world's sixth-largest producer of the fertiliser ingredient. ICL, which also produces about a third of the world's bromine, said it earned $142 million excluding one-time items in the fourth quarter, compared with $114 million a year earlier. Analysts had forecast ICL to earn $100 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Nutrien, the world's biggest fertilizer company by capacity, also said higher input costs would shrink nitrogen and phosphate margins. The company, reporting its first results since the merger, said it expects full-year earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $3.2 billion to $3.7 billion, and earnings per share of between $2.10 and $2.60. Chief Executive Chuck Magro said that following the merger, the company achieved $40 million in run-rate synergies and was "focused on capturing half a billion dollars" in annual merger synergies by the end of 2019.
Nutrien Ltd, created from the merger of fertilizer makers Agrium Inc and Potash Corp of Saskatchewan this year, said it expected full-year 2018 EBITDA of $3.2 billion to $3.7 billion. Nutrien also said fourth-quarter net earnings for Agrium fell to $18 million, or 13 cents per share, in the fourth quarter ended Dec 31 from $67 million, or 49 cents per share, a year earlier. Potash Corp reported a net loss from continuing operations of $120 million, or 14 cents per share, from a profit of $13 million, or 2 cents per share, a year earlier.
Improving potash markets and Agrium merger have contributed to a rally in Potash Corp's (POT) shares.
In addition to the regulatory approval from the US (MOO), this merger has also received approval from Canada, Russia, India, China, and Brazil.

Phosphate fertilizer producers, including Mosaic Co and Potash Corp of Saskatchewan, are paying the highest prices in two years for sulphur, a key ingredient in their farm products, but farmers are the ones absorbing the extra cost. Higher sulphur costs, the result of tight global supplies and strong Chinese demand, come as fertilizer makers struggle against a crop price slump that has diminished farmer buying power and as new global phosphate supplies come on stream. The spike in thinly traded sulphur caused "a bit of pandemonium," as it is a byproduct of oil and gas output, making it difficult to fill shortages quickly, said Andy Jung, director of market and strategic analysis at Minnesota-based Mosaic.
