Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The Fertilizers segment showed outsized EBITDA growth due to higher production and strong urea pricing, aided by the Profertil integration. A lower net debt/EBITDA multiple (3.0x) supports a higher multiple in the near term if cash flow remains robust and execution continues. Risks include urea price volatility and FX headwinds, but the trend toward deleveraging and stronger EBITDA should support upside.
