Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. (APD) reported mixed financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2025.
While the company saw a modest increase in quarterly sales driven by higher energy cost pass-through and pricing, overall profitability for the nine-month period was significantly impacted by substantial business and asset action charges totaling $3 billiona. For the third quarter, net income attributable to Air Products increased by 2% to $713.8 million, or $3.20 per share, reflecting gains from business and asset sales and improved pricing.
However, the nine-month period resulted in a net loss of $399.4 millionb, a stark contrast to the significant profit in the prior year, largely due to the aforementioned restructuring and project exit costs. Investors should note the significant impact of these one-time charges on the year-to-date performance, while recognizing the underlying operational resilience demonstrated in the quarterly results.

05—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What caused the significant net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2025?
The substantial net loss of $399.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily driven by significant charges related to business and asset actions, totaling $2.95 billion. These charges included project exit costs stemming from a review of the company's project backlog and decisions to exit certain clean energy generation and distribution projects, along with costs associated with a global cost reduction plan. These one-time charges significantly impacted the company's year-to-date profitability.
How did the company's sales perform in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025?
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, Air Products reported a 1% increase in sales, reaching $3.02 billion. This growth was primarily attributable to a 3% increase in energy cost pass-through to customers and a 1% rise in pricing. However, this was partially offset by a 4% decrease in volumes, influenced by the divestiture of the LNG business, lower global helium demand, and project exits.
What is the impact of the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project on the company's financials?
The NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) joint venture is a significant ongoing project. As of June 30, 2025, NGHC had borrowed $4.6 billion under its non-recourse project financing. The company consolidated NGHC and its financial activities are reflected in the Middle East and India segment. While the project financing is non-recourse to Air Products, the company has made significant capital expenditures related to it, with 'Additions to plant and equipment' for the nine months ending June 30, 2025, including $1.98 billion in NGHC expenditures not funded by Air Products' equity. The company's overall capital expenditures for the nine months increased to $4.0 billion, partly due to these clean energy projects.
Did the company engage in any significant acquisitions or divestitures during the period?
Yes, Air Products completed the acquisition of Ijsfabriek Strombeek, a Belgian industrial gases company, for $74.2 million in April 2025. Additionally, the company divested its 100% ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary in Singapore in April 2025, receiving $104.3 million in proceeds and recognizing a gain of $67.3 million. The company also sold a regional office in Hersham, England, for $37.7 million, recognizing a gain of $31.3 million.
