TAMPA, FL — August 4, 2026
The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) reported its second quarter 2026 results[cite: 1], posting net sales of $2.8 billion[cite: 1], an operating loss of $36 million[cite: 1], and a net loss of $273 million[cite: 1] (or $0.86 per share[cite: 1]). Excluding notable items, adjusted EBITDA totaled $407 million[cite: 1] and adjusted diluted earnings per share reached $0.13.
Executive Commentary and Market Pressures
President and CEO Bruce Bodine noted that business conditions during the quarter remained challenging, driven primarily by sulfur availability and affordability issues[cite: 1].
“At Mosaic, we are focused on the things we can control. We’ve reduced phosphate production, cut costs, reduced capital expenditures and strengthened our financial flexibility while maintaining the ability to resume full production rates when markets improve.”
— Bruce Bodine, President and CEO

- Phosphates: Sales volumes reached 1.4 million tonnes[cite: 1]. The segment reported an operating loss of $104 million[cite: 1] and adjusted EBITDA of $128 million[cite: 1], impacted by higher raw material costs and reduced fixed-cost absorption from lower operating rates.
