Yara’s second-quarter net income after non-controlling interests was NOK
2,916 million, compared with NOK 2,285 million a year earlier. Excluding
net foreign exchange gain/(loss) and special items, the result was
NOK 2,637 million, compared with NOK 2,142 million in second quarter
2014. The corresponding earnings per share were NOK 9.58 compared
with NOK 7.74 a year earlier.
“Yara reports strong second-quarter results with higher deliveries and
improved margins, reflecting continued lower natural gas cost in Europe
and a stronger US dollar,” said Torgeir Kvidal, acting Chief Executive
Officer of Yara.
“Sales of our premium products continue to grow in Latin America
and Asia, reflecting both the acquisition of OFD and continued organic
growth“ said Torgeir Kvidal.

• Kept as hedge of future earnings and to finance inventories in emerging markets
• Around 60% towards BRL with the rest mainly towards other emerging market
currencies and EUR
• The debt level in emerging markets will fluctuate with fertilizer seasons
2. Additional Profit & Loss exposure from internal currency positions vs.
NOK
• Payables mainly CAD (450 million)
• Receivables mainly EUR (150 million)
