1. Description of Business
Phibro Animal Health Corporation (“Phibro” or “PAHC”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) is a diversified global developer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of animal health and mineral nutrition products for food and companion animals including poultry, swine, beef and dairy cattle, aquaculture and dogs. The Company is also a manufacturer and marketer of performance products for use in the personal care, industrial chemical and chemical catalyst industries. Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, references in this report to “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar expressions refer to Phibro and its subsidiaries.
The unaudited consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, is presented on the same basis as the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 28, 2024 (File no. 001-36410). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods, and the adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The financial results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet information as of June 30, 2024, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Phibro and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. The decision to consolidate an entity requires consideration of majority voting interests, as well as effective control over the entity.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards
Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report. As of December 31, 2024, there have been no material changes to any of the significant accounting policies contained therein.
Net Income (Loss) per Share and Weighted Average Shares
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period.
8
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period after giving effect to dilutive common share equivalents resulting from the assumed vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), unless the effect would be antidilutive or if the minimum stock price targets for our performance-based RSUs were not achieved during the reporting period. Common share equivalents were included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024. Common share equivalents composed of

New Accounting Standards
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requires the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are included in segment profit or loss and how the segment measures are used for decision-making. The ASU will be effective for Phibro’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, including retrospective disclosure for all prior periods presented, and interim periods subsequent to June 30, 2025. We are
ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, enhances income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The ASU outlines specific categories to be provided in the rate reconciliation and requires additional information for those reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The ASU requires disaggregated disclosure of federal, state and foreign income taxes paid, including disaggregation by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The ASU also requires disaggregated disclosure of federal, state and foreign income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. The enhanced disclosures will be applied on a prospective basis and are required for Phibro’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. We are
ASU 2024-03, (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, and ASU 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date, requires disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption, as well as a qualitative description of amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. ASU 2024-03 also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The ASU will be effective for Phibro’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2028 and for interim periods thereafter, and it can be applied on a prospective basis or on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of this standard on our footnote disclosures.

(2) | The preliminary purchase price consideration excludes amounts related to the settlement of the final purchase price subsequent to December 31, 2024, as disclosed above. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the net assets acquired, as compared to the information shown herein, could also change the portion of the purchase consideration allocable to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and could impact the operating results of the combined company following the Acquisition due to differences in the allocation of the purchase consideration and changes in the depreciation and amortization related to some of these assets and liabilities. |
In the table above, the estimate of fair value of inventories, net was determined using the replacement cost method, which contemplates the costs to complete the manufacturing and sales process, a reasonable profit allowance from the sales process, and estimated holding costs. The cost basis of raw materials was determined to represent current replacement cost and therefore approximates fair value. The net fair value step-up adjustment to inventories of $

Pro Forma Results
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of net sales and operating income of the Company as if the Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the years presented and does not include any material non-recurring adjustments. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s net sales and operating income actually would have been had the Acquisition occurred at the beginning of each year presented. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not attempt to project the future results of operations of the combined company. The pro forma information does not include any potential revenue enhancements, cost synergies or other operating efficiencies that could result from the Acquisition.

4. Statements of Operations—Additional Information
Disaggregated revenue, deferred revenue and customer payment terms
We develop, manufacture and market a broad range of products for food and companion animals including poultry, swine, beef and dairy cattle, aquaculture, and dogs. The products help prevent, control and treat diseases and enhance nutrition to help improve animal health and well-being. We sell animal health and mineral nutrition products directly to integrated poultry, cattle and swine customers and through commercial animal feed manufacturers, distributors and veterinarians. The animal health industry and
11
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
demand for many of the animal health products in a particular region are affected by changing disease pressures and by weather conditions, as product usage follows varying weather patterns and seasons. Our operations are primarily focused on regions where the majority of livestock production is consolidated in large commercial farms.
We have a diversified portfolio of products that are classified within our
Animal Health
The Animal Health business develops, manufactures and markets products in three main categories:
● | MFAs and other: MFAs and other products primarily consist of concentrated medicated products administered through animal feeds, commonly referred to as Medicated Feed Additives (“MFAs”). Specific product classifications include antibacterials, which inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria that cause infections in animals; anticoccidials, which inhibit the growth of coccidia (parasites) that damage the intestinal tract of animals; and other related products. The MFAs and other category also includes antibacterials and other processing aids used in the ethanol fermentation industry. |
● | Nutritional specialties: Nutritional specialty products enhance nutrition to help improve health and performance in areas such as immune system function and digestive health. We are also a developer, manufacturer and marketer of microbial products and bioproducts for a variety of applications serving animal health and nutrition, environmental, industrial and agricultural customers. |
● | Vaccines: Vaccine products are primarily focused on preventing diseases in poultry, swine, beef and dairy cattle and aquaculture. They protect animals from either viral or bacterial disease challenges. We develop, manufacture and market conventionally licensed and autogenous vaccine products, as well as adjuvants for animal vaccine manufacturers. We have developed and market an innovative and proprietary delivery platform for vaccines. |
Mineral Nutrition
The Mineral Nutrition business is comprised of formulations and concentrations of trace minerals such as zinc, manganese, copper, iron and other compounds, with a focus on customers in North America. Our customers use these products to fortify the daily feed requirements of their livestock’s diets and maintain an optimal balance of trace elements in each animal. We manufacture and market a broad range of mineral nutrition products for food animals including poultry, swine, and beef and dairy cattle.
Performance Products
The Performance Products business manufactures and markets specialty ingredients for use in the personal care, industrial chemical and chemical catalyst industries.

6. Debt
Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facilities
2024 Credit Agreement
In July 2024, we entered into a Credit Agreement, (the “2024 Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders. Initial borrowings were used to refinance all our outstanding debt, to pay fees and expenses of the transaction and for ongoing working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term A-1 Loans (as defined below) and Delayed Draw Term A-2 Loans (as defined below) were drawn on October 31, 2024 and used to finance the purchase price of the Acquisition discussed in “Note 3 — Acquisition.”
Under the 2024 Credit Agreement, there are (i) Initial Term A-1 Loans in an initial aggregate principal amount of $

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Facilities mature in July 2029 in the case of the Term A-1 Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitments and in July 2031 in the case of the Term A-2 Loans.
16
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Borrowings under the 2024 Credit Facilities bear interest at rates based on the ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries’ net consolidated indebtedness to the Company and its subsidiaries’ consolidated EBITDA (the “Net Leverage Ratio”). The interest rates per annum for loans under the 2024 Credit Facilities are based on a fluctuating rate of interest as selected by the Company plus an applicable rate as set forth in the table below:
Revolving Credit and | Term A-2 Loans | |||||||||
Net Leverage Ratio | Base rate | SOFR | Base rate | SOFR | ||||||

≥ 2.25:1.00 and < 3.50:1.00 | % | % | % | % | ||||||
< 2.25:1.00 | % | % | % | % |
The Company may receive patronage from the lenders providing the Term A-2 Loans, to the extent eligible under such lender’s patronage program, as determined by such lender in its sole discretion.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement, the 2024 Credit Facilities are subject to various covenants that, among other things and subject to the permitted exceptions described therein, restrict us and our subsidiaries with respect to: (i) incurring additional debt; (ii) making certain restricted payments or making optional redemptions of other indebtedness; (iii) making investments or acquiring assets; (iv) disposing of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business); (v) creating any liens on our assets; (vi) entering into transactions with affiliates; (vii) entering into merger or consolidation transactions; and (viii) creating guarantee obligations; provided, however, that we are permitted to pay distributions to stockholders out of available cash subject to certain annual limitations and a quarterly maximum Net Leverage Ratio of
The 2024 Credit Agreement requires, among other things, compliance with financial covenants that permit: (i) a maximum Net Leverage Ratio and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio, each calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis, as follows:

We used a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the grant date fair value of the performance-based RSUs. Assumptions used by the model were based on information as of the grant date and included a risk-free rate of return, expected volatility and an expected dividend yield. The risk-free rate of return is based on U.S. treasury yields for bonds with similar maturities. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected dividend yield considers estimated annual dividends and the closing share price of the underlying common stock.
The fair value of the time-based RSUs is equal to the closing market price of the underlying common stock on the grant date, less the present value of expected dividends over the vesting period.
The weighted-average grant date fair value of the RSUs granted in fiscal 2024 was $
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
Our operations and properties are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations, including those governing pollution; protection of the environment; the use, management, and release of hazardous materials, substances and wastes; air emissions; greenhouse gas emissions; water use, supply and discharges; the investigation and remediation of contamination; the manufacture, distribution, and sale of regulated materials, including pesticides; the importing, exporting and transportation of products; and the health and safety of our employees and the public (collectively, “Environmental Laws”). As such, the nature of our current and former operations exposes us to the risk of claims with respect to such matters, including fines, penalties, and remediation obligations that may be imposed by regulatory authorities. Under certain circumstances, we might be required to curtail operations until a particular problem is remedied. Known costs and expenses under Environmental Laws incidental to ongoing operations, including the cost of litigation proceedings relating to environmental matters, are generally included within operating results. Potential costs and expenses may also be incurred in connection with the repair or upgrade of facilities to meet existing or new requirements under Environmental Laws or to investigate or remediate potential or actual contamination, and from time to time we establish reserves for such contemplated investigation and remediation costs. In many instances, the ultimate costs under Environmental Laws and the time period during which such costs are likely to be incurred are difficult to predict.
20
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
While we believe that our operations are currently in material compliance with Environmental Laws, we have, from time to time, received notices of violation from governmental authorities, and have been involved in civil or criminal action for such violations. Additionally, at various sites, our subsidiaries are engaged in continuing investigation, remediation and/or monitoring efforts to address contamination associated with historic operations of the sites. We devote considerable resources to complying with Environmental Laws and managing environmental liabilities. We have developed programs to identify requirements under, and maintain compliance with Environmental Laws; however, we cannot predict with certainty the effect of increased and more stringent regulation on our operations, future capital expenditure requirements, or the cost of compliance.
The nature of our current and former operations exposes us to the risk of claims with respect to environmental matters and we cannot assure we will not incur material costs and liabilities in connection with such claims. Based on our experience, we believe that the future cost of compliance with existing Environmental Laws, and liabilities for known environmental claims pursuant to such Environmental Laws, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.
Based upon information available, to the extent such costs can be estimated with reasonable certainty, we estimated the cost for further investigation and remediation of identified soil and groundwater problems at operating sites, closed sites and third-party sites, and closure costs for closed sites to be approximately $
Claims and Litigation
PAHC and its subsidiaries are party to various claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal course of business including product liabilities, payment disputes and governmental regulation. Certain of these actions seek damages in various amounts. In many cases, such claims are covered by insurance. We believe that none of the claims or pending lawsuits, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
10. Derivatives
We monitor our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and from time-to-time use derivatives to manage certain of these risks. We designate derivatives as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of the cash flows to be received or paid in the future related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). All changes in the fair value of a highly effective cash flow hedge are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.
We routinely assess whether the derivatives used to hedge transactions are effective. If we determine a derivative ceases to be an effective hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting in the period of the assessment for that derivative, and immediately recognize any unrealized gains or losses related to the fair value of that derivative in the consolidated statements of operations.
We record derivatives at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. For additional details regarding fair value, see “Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements.”
In September 2024, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on $
We are a party to foreign currency option contracts used to hedge cash flows related to monthly inventory purchases. The individual option contracts mature monthly through June 2025. The forecasted inventory purchases are probable of occurring and the individual option contracts were designated as highly effective cash flow hedges.
The consolidated balance sheet includes the net fair values of our outstanding foreign currency option contracts within the respective line items, based on the net financial position and maturity date of the individual contracts. The consolidated balance sheet includes the net fair values of our outstanding interest rate swaps within the respective balance sheet line items, based on the expected timing of the cash flows. The consolidated balance sheet includes assets and liabilities for the fair values of outstanding derivatives that are designated and effective as cash flow hedges as follows:

11. Fair Value Measurements
Cash Equivalents
Our cash equivalents consist of time deposits with an original maturity of less than three months held at financial institutions. We consider the carrying amounts of these current assets to be recorded at their fair value because of the current nature of these items.
Short-term Investments
Our short-term investments consist of time deposits with original maturity of greater than three months, but no greater than twelve months, held at financial institutions. We consider the carrying amounts of these current assets to be recorded at their fair value because of the current nature of these items.
Current Assets and Liabilities
We consider the carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities to be representative of their fair value because of the current nature of these items.
Debt
We record debt, including term loans and revolver balances, at amortized cost in our consolidated financial statements. We believe the carrying value of the debt is approximately equal to its fair value, due to the variable nature of the instruments and our evaluation of estimated market prices.
Derivatives
We determine the fair value of derivative instruments based upon pricing models using observable market inputs for these types of financial instruments, such as spot and forward currency exchange rates.
23
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Non-financial Assets
Our non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, other intangible assets, property and equipment, and lease-related right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and instead are reported at carrying value in the consolidated balance sheet. Assets and liabilities may be required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, either upon initial recognition or for subsequent accounting or reporting, including the initial recognition of net assets acquired in a business combination. These fair value measurements involve unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions that represent Level 3 inputs.

12. Business Segments
We evaluate performance and allocate resources, based on the Animal Health, Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products segments. Certain of our costs and assets are not directly attributable to a segment or segments and we refer to these items as Corporate. We do not allocate Corporate costs or assets to the other segments because they are not used to evaluate the segments’ operating results or financial position. Corporate costs include certain costs related to executive management, information technology, legal, finance, human resources and business development. The accounting policies of our segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included herein.
We evaluate performance of our segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (a) interest expense, net, (b) provision for income taxes or less benefit for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) other expense or less other income as separately reported on our consolidated statements of operations, including foreign currency (gains) losses, net and (e) certain items that we consider to be unusual, non-operational or non-recurring.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) is provided to assist readers in understanding our performance, as reflected in the results of our operations, our financial condition and our cash flows. The following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows as of and for the periods presented below. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our future results could differ materially from our historical performance as a result of various factors such as those discussed in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report and “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview of our business
Phibro Animal Health Corporation is a leading global diversified animal health and mineral nutrition company. We develop, manufacture and market a broad range of products for food and companion animals including poultry, swine, beef and dairy cattle, aquaculture, and dogs. Our products help prevent, control and treat diseases, and support nutrition to help improve animal health and well-being. In addition to animal health and mineral nutrition products, we manufacture and market specific ingredients for use in the personal care, industrial chemical and chemical catalyst industries.
Acquisition
In April 2024, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Zoetis Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Zoetis”) to acquire Zoetis’s medicated feed additive (“MFA”) portfolio, certain water-soluble products and related assets (the “Acquisition”). On October 31, 2024, the Company completed the Acquisition at a purchase price of approximately $301.8 million ($290.8 million net of cash acquired), subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Acquisition was funded by term loan borrowings under the 2024 Credit Agreement. The product portfolio acquired, which generated $407.6 million in revenue in 2023, is comprised of more than 37 product lines that are sold in approximately 80 countries. Also included in the Acquisition are six manufacturing sites, comprised of four in the U.S., one in Italy and one in China. The results of operations of the Acquisition are included in our consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition and reported within the Animal Health segment.
2024 Credit Agreement
In July 2024, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2024 Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders. Initial borrowings were used to refinance all our outstanding debt, to pay fees and expenses of the transaction, and for ongoing working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term A-1 and A-2 Loans were used to finance the purchase price of the Acquisition. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Debt — 2024 Credit Agreement” for additional information.

Armed Conflicts
Israel and Hamas
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.
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.
Russia and Ukraine
In response to the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine that began in February 2022, we and our employees have provided support to Ukraine in the form of monetary donations, free products and humanitarian services. Our limited intent for the Russian market is to continue to provide medicines and vaccines, and related regulatory and technical support, to help existing customers combat disease challenges in the production of food animals on their farms. We have no production or direct distribution operations and no planned investments in Russia.
Since the conflict began, the United States and other North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) member states, as well as non-member states, announced targeted economic sanctions on Russia, including certain Russian citizens and enterprises. The continuation or escalation of the conflict may trigger additional economic and other sanctions, as well as broader military conflict. The potential impacts of any resulting bans, sanctions, boycotts or broader military conflicts on our business are uncertain. The potential impacts could include supply chain and logistics disruptions, macroeconomic impacts resulting from the exclusion of Russian financial institutions from the global banking system, volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, inflationary pressures on raw materials and energy as well as heightened cybersecurity threats. Our sales to Russia and Ukraine for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 represented approximately 1% of consolidated net sales.
27
We cannot know if the conflict could escalate and result in broader economic and security concerns that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Industry growth
We believe global population growth, the growth of the global middle class and the productivity improvements needed due to limitations of arable land and water supplies have supported and will continue to support growth of the animal health industry.
Regulatory developments
In April 2016, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) began initial steps to withdraw approval of carbadox (the active ingredient in our Mecadox product) via a regulatory process known as a Notice of Opportunity for Hearing (“NOOH”), due to concerns that certain residues from the product may persist in animal tissues for longer than previously determined. In the years following, Phibro has continued an ongoing process of responding collaboratively and transparently to the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (“CVM”) inquiries and has provided extensive and meticulous research and data that confirmed the safety of carbadox. In July 2020, the FDA announced it would not proceed to a hearing on the scientific concerns raised in the 2016 NOOH, consistent with the normal regulatory procedure, but instead announced that it was withdrawing the 2016 NOOH and issuing a proposed order to review the regulatory method for carbadox. Phibro reiterated the safety of carbadox and the appropriateness of the regulatory method and offered to work with the CVM to generate additional data to support the existing regulatory method or select a suitable alternative regulatory method.
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.
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.

Animal Health
Net sales of $229.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, increased $56.3 million, or 33%. Net sales of MFAs and other increased $48.4 million, or 47%, due to incremental revenues of $36.7 million from sales of products from the Zoetis MFA portfolio acquired on October 31, 2024 and increased demand for our MFA products in international regions and for our processing aids used in the ethanol fermentation industry.
Net sales of nutritional specialty products increased $4.5 million, or 11%, primarily due to increased domestic dairy demand and higher sales of microbial and companion animal products.
Net sales of vaccines increased $3.4 million, or 12%, primarily due to continued growth of poultry products in Latin America, plus an increase in international demand.
Mineral Nutrition
Net sales of $63.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, increased $1.9 million, or 3%, due to an increase in demand for copper and trace minerals.
Performance Products
Net sales of $16.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, increased $1.1 million, or 7%, as a result of higher demand for the ingredients used in personal care products.

Mineral Nutrition gross profit increased $2.5 million, driven by higher average selling prices. Performance Products gross profit increased by $1.3 million, driven by increased sales volumes.
31
Selling, general and administrative expenses

SG&A for the three months ended December 31, 2024, included $8.8 million for acquisition-related costs, $1.7 million of costs associated with Phibro Forward income growth initiatives, and $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by $1.3 million related to an insurance settlement gain. SG&A for the three months ended December 31, 2023 included a $4.2 million cost for an unfavorable litigation result related to Brazil employment taxes paid from January 2013 through December 2015, an additional $0.2 million true-up to the pension settlement cost and $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense. Excluding these items, SG&A increased $8.5 million.
Animal Health SG&A increased $4.9 million, primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs due in part to the incremental headcount added as part of the Acquisition. Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products SG&A was comparable to the prior year. Corporate costs increased by $3.4 million, due to an increase in employee-related costs and professional fees.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net of $9.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, increased by $4.3 million, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, due to the higher debt levels associated with the financing of the Acquisition.
Foreign currency losses, net
Foreign currency losses, net for the three months ended December 31, 2024, were $11.7 million, as compared to $7.5 million of net losses for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Current period losses were driven by fluctuations in certain currencies related to the U.S. dollar, most prominently, in the Brazil Real. Prior year period losses were driven in large part by a major currency devaluation in Argentina.

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. Excluding the impact of these items, the effective income tax rate was 26.4% and 26.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net income
Net income of $3.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, increased $1.9 million, as compared to net income of $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Operating income increased $9.8 million, driven by favorable gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A. Gross profit increased primarily as a result of higher sales in the Animal Health segment, driven in part by incremental revenues associated with sales from the Zoetis MFA portfolio acquired on October 31, 2024. SG&A increased by $13.4 million, which included $8.8 million for acquisition-related costs and $1.7 million of costs associated with Phibro Forward income growth initiatives. Interest expense, net increased $4.3 million due to higher debt levels, due in part to the financing of the Acquisition. Foreign currency losses, net increased by $4.2 million.

Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products SG&A was comparable to the prior year. Corporate expenses increased $5.1 million due to an increase in employee-related costs and professional fees.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net of $16.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024, increased $7.4 million, or 80%, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2023, due to the higher debt levels associated with the financing of the Acquisition and costs associated with the refinancing of the Company’s debt.

Foreign currency losses, net for the six months ended December 31, 2024, were $12.1 million, as compared to net losses of $14.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Current period losses were driven by fluctuations in certain currencies related to the U.S. dollar, most prominently, in the Brazil Real. Prior year period losses were driven in large part by a major currency devaluation in Argentina.
Provision for income taxes
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.
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended December 31, 2024, included (i) various 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 six months ended December 31, 2023, included various items including (i) a benefit from a foreign tax credit related to the prior year, (ii) exchange rate losses, (iii) the release of certain valuation allowances and (iv) changes in uncertain tax positions related to prior years. Excluding the impact of these items, the effective income tax rate was 25.0% and 27.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2024, respectively.
Net income
Net income was $10.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to net loss of ($6.7) million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Operating income increased $28.3 million driven by higher gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A of $10.8 million, which included $12.2 million for acquisition-related costs and $2.0 million of costs associated with Phibro Forward income growth initiatives. Interest expense, net increased $7.4 million due to higher debt levels and the associated with the refinancing of the Company’s debt. Foreign currency losses, net decreased by $2.0 million. Income tax expense increased by $6.0 million.

Operating activities
Operating activities provided $15.7 million of net cash for the six months ended December 31, 2024. Cash provided by net income, adjusted for the non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, was $31.4 million. Cash used in the ordinary course of business from changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of the impact of the net assets acquired from the Acquisition, was $15.7 million. Accounts receivable used $25.8 million of cash due to higher sales. Inventories used $24.4 million of cash due to increased quantities on hand due to timing of inventory purchases and forecasted future demand. Accounts payable provided $14.6 million of cash due to timing of purchases and payments. Accrued expenses and other liabilities provided cash of $21.2 million, primarily due to timing of incurrence.
Investing activities
Investing activities used $263.4 million of net cash for the six months ended December 31, 2024, which includes the purchase price paid for the Acquisition of $290.8 million, net of cash acquired. Capital expenditures totaled $17.4 million, as we continue to invest in expanding production capacity and productivity improvements. Maturities of our short-term investments provided $44.0 million in cash.
Financing activities
Financing activities provided $247.1 million of net cash for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and reflect the impact of the refinancing of our debt portfolio in July 2024 and the financing of the Acquisition. Proceeds of $300.0 million from the refinancing, as well as revolving credit facility borrowings were used to pay the remaining principal balances of the outstanding debt of $313.1 million, and we used the proceeds $350.0 million in term loan borrowings to finance the purchase price of the Acquisition. Net revolver payments on our credit facilities used $62.0 million in cash. We paid $3.8 million in scheduled quarterly principal payments on long-term debt during the six months ended December 31, 2024. We also paid $10.4 million in debt issuance costs related to the refinancing and $9.7 million in dividends to holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock.
Liquidity and capital resources
We believe our cash on hand, operating cash flows and financing arrangements, including the availability of borrowings under the 2024 Credit Facility, will be sufficient to support our ongoing cash needs. We have considered the current and potential future effects of the macroeconomic market conditions in the financial markets. At this time, we expect adequate liquidity for at least the next twelve months. We can provide no assurance that our liquidity and capital resources will be adequate for future funding requirements. We believe we will be able to comply with the terms of the covenants under the 2024 Credit Facilities based on our operating plan. In the event of adverse operating results and/or violation of covenants under the facilities, there can be no assurance we would be able to obtain waivers or amendments. Other risks to our meeting future funding requirements include global economic conditions and macroeconomic, business and financial disruptions that could arise, including ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and potential hostilities in the Middle East. There can be no assurance that a challenging economic environment or an economic downturn would not affect our liquidity or ability to obtain future financing or fund operations or investment opportunities. In addition, our debt covenants may restrict our ability to invest.
Certain relevant measures of our liquidity and capital resources follow:

We define working capital as total current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments) less total current liabilities (excluding current portion of long-term debt). We calculate the ratio of current assets to current liabilities based on this definition.
37
As of December 31, 2024, we had $114.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the 2024 Revolver and outstanding letters of credit and other commitments of $2.4 million, leaving $193.6 million available for further borrowings and letters of credit, subject to restrictions in our 2021 Credit Facilities.
We currently intend to pay quarterly dividends on our Class A common stock and Class B common stock, subject to approval from the Board of Directors. On February 4, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share on Class A common stock and Class B common stock, payable on March 26, 2025. Our future ability to pay dividends will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, our ability to obtain funds from our subsidiaries and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. Additionally, the terms of our current and any future agreements governing our indebtedness could limit our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions.
As of December 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments included $65.0 million held by our international subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on cash distributions to PAHC from our international subsidiaries. Distributions may be subject to taxation by U.S. or non-U.S. taxing authorities.
Contractual obligations
As of December 31, 2024, there were no material changes in payments due under contractual obligations from those disclosed in the Annual Report.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We do not currently use off-balance sheet arrangements for the purpose of credit enhancement, hedging transactions, investment or other financial purposes.
In the ordinary course of business, we may indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise. These indemnifications typically pertain to environmental matters. If the indemnified party were to make a successful claim pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we would be required to reimburse the loss. These indemnifications generally are subject to certain restrictions and limitations.
General description of non-GAAP financial measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is an alternative view of performance used by management as our primary operating measure, and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this performance measure. We report Adjusted EBITDA to reflect the results of our operations prior to considering certain income statement elements and to make financial and operating decisions. We calculate EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for income taxes or less benefit for income taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (a) other expense or less other income, as separately reported on our consolidated statements of operations, including foreign currency (gains) losses, net and (b) certain items that we consider to be unusual, non-operational or non-recurring. The Adjusted EBITDA measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP reported net income (loss) and should not be viewed as a measure of liquidity.
The Adjusted EBITDA measure is an important internal measurement for us. We measure our overall performance on this basis in conjunction with other performance metrics. The following are examples of how our Adjusted EBITDA measure is utilized:
● | senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating results that is prepared on an Adjusted EBITDA basis; |
● | our annual budgets are prepared on an Adjusted EBITDA basis; and |
● | other goal-setting and performance measurements are prepared on an Adjusted EBITDA basis. |
38
Despite the importance of this measure to management in goal setting and performance measurement, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Because of its non-standardized definition, Adjusted EBITDA, unlike GAAP net income (loss), may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance.
We also recognize that, as an internal measure of performance, the Adjusted EBITDA measure has limitations, and we do not restrict our performance management process solely to this metric. A limitation of the Adjusted EBITDA measure is that it provides a view of our operations without including all events during a period, such as the depreciation of property, plant and equipment or amortization of acquired intangibles, and does not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies.
Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share
Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share represent alternative views of performance, and we believe investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these performance measures. We report adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share to portray the results of our operations prior to considering certain income statement elements. We calculate adjusted net income as net income (loss) plus (i) acquisition-related intangible amortization and other acquisition-related items, (ii) certain items we consider to be unusual, non-operational or non-recurring, (iii) stock-based compensation expense, (iv) foreign currency (gains) losses, as separately reported on our consolidated statements of operations, and (v) the income tax effect of pre-tax income adjustments and certain income tax items. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated using the adjusted net income divided by the diluted weighted average number of shares. The adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share measures are not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP reported net income (loss).
Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. Because of its non-standardized definition, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, unlike GAAP net income (loss), may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance.
Certain significant items
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are calculated prior to considering acquisition-related items and certain other items, as detailed in the table titled “Items Excluded from Adjusted Net Income” above. We evaluate such items on an individual basis. Such evaluation considers both the quantitative and the qualitative aspect of their unusual or non-operational or non-recurring nature. Unusual, in this context, may represent items that are not part of our ongoing business; items that, either as a result of their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis.
We consider acquisition-related activities and business restructuring costs related to productivity and cost saving initiatives to be unusual items that we do not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. We consider foreign currency gains and losses to be non-operational because they arise principally from intercompany transactions and are largely non-cash in nature.
New accounting standards
For discussion of new accounting standards, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards.”
39
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies, which include management’s best estimates and judgments, are included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on August 28, 2024. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates since June 30, 2024.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements discuss our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “potential,” “project,” “projection,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “can,” “can have,” “likely,” the negatives thereof and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, revenues, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results, our plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, strategies, or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected. Examples of such risks and uncertainties include:
● | outbreaks of animal diseases could significantly reduce demand for our products or availability of raw materials; |
● | perceived adverse effects on human health linked to the consumption of food derived from animals that utilize our products could cause a decline in the sales of those products; |
● | restrictions on the use of antibacterials in food-producing animals may become more prevalent; |
● | the potential FDA withdrawal of approval of our Mecadox® (carbadox) product; |
● | a material portion of our sales and gross profits are generated by antibacterials and other related products; |
● | competition in each of our markets from a number of large and small companies, some of which have greater financial, research and development (“R&D”), production and other resources than we have; |
● | our business may be negatively affected by weather conditions and the availability of natural resources; |
● | the negative effects of a pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease in humans, such as COVID-19; on our business, financial results, manufacturing facilities and supply chain, as well as our customers, protein processors and markets; |
● | climate change could have a material adverse impact on our operations and our customers’ businesses; |
● | actions of regulatory bodies, including obtaining approvals related to the testing, manufacturing and marketing of certain of our products; |
● | the continuing trend toward consolidation of certain customer groups as well as the emergence of large buying groups; |
● | our ability to control costs and expenses; |
● | any unforeseen material loss or casualty; |
40
● | misuse or extra-label use of our products; |
● | exposure relating to rising costs and reduced customer income; |
● | heightened competition, including those from generics and those deriving from advances in veterinary medical practices and animal health technologies; |
● | unanticipated safety or efficacy concerns; |
● | our dependence on suppliers having current regulatory approvals; |
● | our raw materials are subject to price fluctuations and their availability can be limited; |
● | natural and man-made disasters, including but not limited to fire, snow and ice storms, flood, hail, hurricanes and earthquakes; |
● | business interruption from political and social instability, including crime, civil disturbance, terrorist activities, outbreaks of disease and pandemics and armed conflicts, such as potential hostilities in the Middle East and ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine; |
● | terrorist attacks, particularly attacks on or within markets in which we operate, including the terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas militants and the Hezbollah terrorist organization; |
● | risks related to changes in tax rates and exposure; |
● | our ability to successfully implement our strategic initiatives; |
● | our reliance on the continued operation of our manufacturing facilities and application of our intellectual property; |
● | adverse U.S. and international economic market conditions, including currency fluctuations; |
● | failure of our product approval, R&D, acquisition and licensing efforts to generate new products; |
● | the risks of product liability claims, legal proceedings and general litigation expenses; |
● | the impact of current and future laws and regulatory changes, including risks related to the protection of our customers’ privacy and risks related to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; |
● | modification of foreign trade policy may harm our food animal product customers; |
● | our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses, including the medicated feed additive product portfolio, certain water-soluble products and related assets, which we have agreed to acquire from Zoetis Inc.; |
● | our dependence on our Israeli and Brazilian operations; |
● | impact of increased or decreased inventory levels at our direct customers or channel distributors; |
● | our substantial level of indebtedness and related debt-service obligations; |
● | restrictions imposed by covenants in our debt agreements; |
● | the risk of breaches of data security and cybersecurity attacks; |
41
● | the risk of work stoppages; and |
● | other factors as described in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report. |
While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this report in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences we anticipate or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In the normal course of operations, we are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. As a result, future earnings, cash flows and fair values of assets and liabilities are subject to uncertainty. We use, from time to time, foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps as a means of hedging exposure to foreign currency risks and fluctuating interest rates, respectively. We do not utilize derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We do not hedge our exposure to market risks in a manner that eliminates the effects of changing market conditions on earnings, cash flows and fair values. We monitor the financial stability and credit standing of our major counterparties.
For financial market risks related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, reference is made to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk” section in the Annual Report and to the notes to the consolidated financial statements included therein. As of the date of this report, there were no material changes in the Company’s financial market risks from the risks disclosed in the Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon that evaluation as of December 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
