Middle East Conflicts
Current report
In February 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were not authorized. In response to this ruling, we are pursuing the potential recovery of IEEPA tariffs previously paid and expect to submit claims through the administrative process administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the refund of tariffs previously paid by the Company. The ruling did not address potential refunds, and therefore the ultimate availability, timing, and amount of the recovery of any potential refunds of these tariffs is highly uncertain and may be subject to further legal, regulatory, and administrative developments. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any receivable or benefit related to these potential recoveries in its financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and will continue to monitor relevant developments and evaluate the recognition of such recoveries in future periods.

In 2018, the Ministry of Agriculture in Brazil (“MAPA”), published an ordinance to ban the use of antimicrobials used at sub-therapeutic levels for growth promotion and feed efficiency in animal feed. The ordinance was in response to international pressure and scientific concerns about the potential risks of antimicrobial resistance. The Company’s virginiamycin product is currently registered and used at sub-therapeutic levels in cattle, broilers, layers and swine in Brazil. The Company and key stakeholders (trade associations) requested that MAPA allow sponsors time to shift from growth promotion claims to therapeutic claims. In 2022 and more recently in 2025, additional MAPA public consultations were held to discuss the prohibition on the use of antimicrobials as growth promoters. These discussions affect the Company’s virginiamycin product in Brazil, which is the only remaining key livestock production market where virginiamycin does not yet have therapeutic indications. The Company has been actively conducting studies to address MAPA’s requirements to obtain therapeutic indications for virginiamycin in Brazil and has submitted dossiers to MAPA for approval.

On April 27, 2026, MAPA published its Ordinance prohibiting the importation, manufacture, marketing and use of performance enhancing feed additives containing antimicrobials classified as important in human or veterinary medicine, including virginiamycin and bacitracin. There will be a transition period of 180 days from the date of the ordinance, during which time companies and customers may continue to use and sell the products under their current labels. The Company has been actively conducting studies to address MAPA’s requirements to obtain therapeutic indications for virginiamycin. These registrations are in the final stages of review and approval by MAPA and are expected during the transition period. Phibro’s bacitracin product already carries therapeutic claims in Brazil.
