Current report
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was increased by various items, including (i) different tax rates on exchange rate gains, (ii) changes in uncertain tax positions related to prior years and (iii) certain non-deductible write-offs in connection with the closure of an immaterial business included as part of the Phibro Forward initiatives. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was increased by various items, including (i) different tax rates on exchange rate losses and (ii) changes in uncertain tax positions related to prior years. Excluding the impact of these items, the effective income tax rates were 25.7% and 30.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Current report
Foreign currency (gains) losses, net
Current report
The provision for income taxes was $13.1 million and $2.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective income tax rates were 29.7% and 63.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The lower effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to higher pretax earnings and higher forecasted annual pretax earnings in the current period, which more significantly reduced the impact of certain items such as GILTI when compared to the prior year. In addition, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 includes the impact of changes in valuation allowances and other reserves, which more significantly increased the effective tax rate in the prior year than in the current year.

Previous report
Foreign currency losses, net
Previous report
The provision for income taxes was $4.3 million, and the effective income tax rate was 29.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2024. The company incurred a pretax loss for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and had a benefit for income taxes of $1.7 million, and the effective tax benefit rate was 19.9%. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2024 was higher than the statutory rate as well as last year’s tax benefit rate, primarily due to an unfavorable mix of pre-tax income resulting in higher taxes related to foreign earnings as well as higher state and local taxes.

Previous wording
On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants crossed into Israel from Gaza in a large-scale, surprise terrorist attack. Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, first firing rockets into the country and then carrying out attacks inflicting mass casualties with hundreds more taken hostage. In order to provide immediate assistance to the victims of the attacks and their families, we and our employees provided monetary donations that were distributed to charities that offered relief services, welfare, equipment, food and other necessities. Since the October 2023 attack, there have been continued and escalating hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon (with the Hezbollah terror organization) and southern border (with the Houthi movement in Yemen). In November 2024, a ceasefire was brokered between Israel and Hezbollah, and in January 2025, a temporary ceasefire went into effect between Israel and Hamas. The results of such ceasefire actions and negotiations for a continued ceasefire between Israel and Hamas remain uncertain and difficult to predict. It is possible that hostilities with Hezbollah in Lebanon and with Hamas can resume and escalate, and that other terrorist organizations, including Palestinian military organizations in the West Bank as well as other hostile countries, will join the hostilities. Such hostilities may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict.

The possibility of negotiations for renewed ceasefire agreements between Israel and Hamas and Israel and Hezbollah remain uncertain and difficult to predict and until resolved, may continue to cause conflict in the region.

We have three manufacturing sites in Israel. A manufacturing plant in Neot Hovav that produces active pharmaceutical ingredients for certain of our anticoccidial and antimicrobial products, a facility in Beit Shemesh that produces vaccines and a plant in Petah Tikvah that manufactures premix products and nutritional products. In addition, we have an office location near Tel Aviv in Airport City. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately 480 employees located in Israel. While we initially had some disruption to our operations at the onset of the Israel-Hamas conflict, at the current time, we have confidence in our ability to meet our supply commitment to customers and maintain sufficient inventory to continue regional support. A significant escalation of the tensions in Israel occurred on April 13, 2024, when Iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles against Israel, but we had no material disruption to our business. Iran has threatened to continue to attack Israel. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. While the situation surrounding the ongoing conflict remains fluid, our operations in Israel have navigated numerous challenging situations over the years.

The resumption, prolonged continuation or escalation of this conflict may trigger bans, economic and other sanctions, as well as broader military conflict, which could include neighboring nations and their respective allies. The potential impact of the current conflict, or escalation thereof, on our business is unclear but may include, without limitation, the possible disruption of our operations, particularly at our facilities in Israel, supply chain and logistics disruptions, personnel and raw material shortages, and other consequences, including as a result of the actions of, or disruption of the operations of, certain regulatory and governmental authorities and of certain of our suppliers, collaborative partners, licensees, manufacturing sites, distributors and customers. Our Israeli manufacturing facilities and local operations account for 17% of our consolidated assets as of December 31, 2024, and 20% of our consolidated net sales, for the six months ended December 31, 2024.

In March 2022, the FDA held a Part 15 virtual public hearing seeking data and information related to the safety of carbadox in which Phibro participated and again detailed the research and data that confirm the safety of carbadox. In November 2023, the FDA issued a final order to revoke the approved method for detecting carbadox residues. The FDA also provided notice in the Federal Register proposing to withdraw approval of all NADAs providing for use of carbadox in medicated swine feed and announcing an opportunity for Phibro to request a hearing on this proposal. This second action is based on CVM’s determination that there is no approved regulatory method to detect carbadox residues in the edible tissues of the treated swine. Phibro is continuing to defend swine producers’ ability to use Mecadox. We have requested a full evidentiary hearing on the merits before an administrative law judge. In January 2024, Phibro filed a lawsuit in the D.C. Federal District Court asking the court to invalidate the order which revoked the regulatory method for carbadox. Should we be unable to successfully defend the safety of the product, the loss of carbadox sales will have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Sales of Mecadox (carbadox) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 were approximately $23 million. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Mecadox continues to be available for use by swine producers.

Previous wording
Macroeconomic developments, such as adverse economic conditions worldwide, international conflicts, or efforts of governments to stimulate or stabilize the economy or manage trade disputes, may adversely impact our business. For example, the Trump administration recently confirmed its intent to impose heavy tariffs on imports from several nations, including Mexico, Canada and China. These measures aim to address broader policy goals but could introduce supply chain inefficiencies, challenge current trade agreements with certain nations, and affect the cost and availability of materials critical to project execution. On February 3, 2025, President Trump announced a deal to delay the imposition of tariffs on Mexico imports by a month. However, any such tariffs, if and when enacted, and any further legislation or actions taken by the U.S. federal government that restrict trade, such as additional tariffs, trade barriers, and other protectionist or retaliatory measures could adversely impact our ability to sell products and services in our markets. Countries may, in response to any U.S. actions, adopt retaliatory or other protectionist measures that could further limit our ability to offer our products and services. The ultimate impact of any tariffs will depend on various factors, including if any tariffs are ultimately implemented, the timing of implementation, and the amount, scope, and nature of the tariffs.

For example, the Trump administration recently instituted or proposed changes in trade policies that include the renegotiation or termination of existing trade agreements, the imposition of higher tariffs on imports into the United States, and other government regulations affecting trade between the United States and other countries. These measures aim to address broader policy goals but could introduce supply chain inefficiencies, challenge current trade agreements with certain nations, and affect the cost and availability of materials critical to project execution.

The provision for income taxes was $1.7 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rates were 34.2% and 64.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2024 decreased primarily due to higher pretax earnings and higher forecasted annual pretax earnings than the three months ended December 31, 2023, which reduced the impact of certain items such as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2024, included (i) exchange rate losses, (ii) changes in uncertain tax positions related to prior years and (iii) acquisition-related costs. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2023, included various items including (i) exchange rate losses, (ii) the release of certain valuation allowances and (iii) changes in uncertain tax positions related to prior years.

The lower effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to higher pretax earnings and higher forecasted annual pretax earnings in the current period, which more significantly reduced the impact of certain items such as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) when compared to the prior year. In addition, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 includes the impact of changes in valuation allowances and other reserves, which more significantly increased the effective tax rate in the prior year than in the current year.
