Syngenta Group Delivers Margin Expansion and EBITDA Growth in 2025
Syngenta Group has announced its financial results for the full year and fourth quarter of 2025, reporting full-year sales of US$28.4 billion, down 1% year-on-year, alongside a 13% increase in EBITDA to US$4.4 billion.
The company stated that excluding the impact of its strategic reduction in lower-margin grain trading sales — which reduced reported sales by US$1 billion — Group sales were up 2% for the year. The full-year EBITDA margin expanded by 1.9 percentage points to 15.4%, attributed to a higher-margin business portfolio, disciplined cost management, and optimized operational efficiency.
Q4 2025 Performance
Sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 were US$7.6 billion, up 2% compared to the prior year and down 1% at constant exchange rates (CER). Declines in ADAMA and Syngenta Group China were more than offset by increased sales in Crop Protection and Seeds.
