Revenue climbed 5.6% year-over-year to $6.46 billion, edging past the $6.27 billion Wall Street had expected, with the Seed segment doing the heavy lifting at $4.54 billion in quarterly sales, fueled by North American corn area expansion and market share gains that pushed corn seed revenue up 10% to $2.96 billion. Crop Protection added to the momentum, with its 31% jump in segment Operating EBITDA reflecting the dual tailwind of raw material deflation and productivity savings. Buoyed by those results and anticipation of a record U.S. Corn crop, Corteva raised its full-year 2025 guidance to net sales of $17.60 billion to $17.80 billion and operating EPS of $3.00 to $3.20 per share, representing roughly 21% growth at the mid-point, with management expressing confidence in its longer-term 2027 financial framework.
Key Takeaways
- • North America corn area expansion and market share gains in Seed
- • Price execution and demand for top technology in Seed
- • Broad-based volume growth in Crop Protection, especially new products, fungicides, spinosyns, and biologicals in Latin America
- • Raw material deflation and productivity savings in Crop Protection
- • Ongoing cost discipline and operational excellence
- • Reduction of net royalty expense

“In the second quarter, farmers' drive to get the most out of every acre led to higher demand for our best-in-class seed and crop protection solutions. Coupled with our continued focus on cost discipline and operational excellence, this resulted in impressive margin expansion for the quarter. Turning to the first half of the year, growth platforms, cost discipline as well as our leadership of the North America corn and soybean market helped us deliver results that exceeded our expectations. While we continue to navigate a fluid macro environment, we are raising our full year guidance as a result of the strength of our global business and the setup for our Latin American business in the second half. This stronger view of 2025 also underscores our confidence in delivering our 2027 financial framework, and in the value our business offers, both in the short- and long-term.”
