About this update from Mosaic Company (the)

TAMPA - The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS), reported a net loss of $258 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $(0.81) for the first quarter of 2026. Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $416 million and adjusted EPS(1) was $0.05. 'Business conditions were volatile in the first quarter. We responded by curtailing uneconomic production, carefully managing working capital and using our market access to meet customer demand,' said President and CEO Bruce Bodine. 'As we look to the rest of the year, we are prepared to take additional actions to ensure we navigate effectively for the short term while preserving our ability to benefit when market dynamics improve.' Mosaic reported a first quarter net loss of $258 million, compared to net income of $238 million in the same quarter of 2025.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $136 million in the first quarter, compared to $123 million in the prior year period. The increase reflected a small bad debt reserve for a Brazilian customer and an adverse foreign exchange impact. Looking ahead, Mosaic has executed a cost saving initiative aimed at streamlining support functions. Annualized savings are expected to total $50 million, including $15 million to be realized in 2026. This is in addition to the previously announced value c...
