Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. (APD) reported a significant net loss of $1.73 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a stark contrast to the $572.4 million net income in the prior year.

Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. (APD) has announced a significant strategic decision to exit three projects in the United States, leading to an expected pre-tax charge not exceeding $3.1 billion in its fiscal 2025 second quarter.

The projects being exited include a sustainable aviation fuel expansion project with World Energy in California, a green liquid hydrogen facility in Massena, New York, and a carbon monoxide project in Texas. The company attributes these decisions to challenging commercial aspects, unfavorable project economics, and evolving regulatory landscapes, particularly citing the ineligibility of hydroelectric power for the Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit (45V) in the Massena project.
