Bioceres Crop Solutions Announces Q4 and Full-Year 2025 Financial & Operational Results
Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: BIOX), a global leader in agricultural productivity and sustainability solutions, has released its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2025. The company, known for advancing technologies that regenerate ecosystems and improve crop resilience against climate change, faced a year marked by market volatility, a slowdown in Argentina, and strategic shifts in its seed business. Despite these challenges, Bioceres continues to focus on efficiency, cash flow generation, and long-term growth.
Financial and Business Performance
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 (4Q25), Bioceres reported total revenues of $74.7 million, representing a 40% year-over-year decline. On a full-year basis, fiscal 2025 revenues reached $335.3 million, down 28% compared with FY24. The decreases were primarily attributed to reduced demand in Argentina—one of the company’s most important markets—and lower contributions from the HB4 program, Bioceres’ flagship seed technology initiative.
Gross profit followed a similar trend. In the fourth quarter, the company posted $25.2 million, a 47% decline YoY, while the full-year gross profit came in at $131.7 million, down 29%. Nevertheless, Bioceres maintained a stable gross margin of around 39% for FY25, supported by higher-value proprietary products, which cushioned some of the revenue shortfall.
Profitability pressures were evident. The company reported an operating loss of $14.9 million in 4Q25 and a net loss of $48.0 million, with Adjusted EBITDA at negative $4.5 million. For the full fiscal year, Bioceres registered an operating loss of $3.7 million, a net loss of $55.2 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $28.3 million.
Despite the downturn in profitability, Bioceres demonstrated resilience in cash management. Net cash flow generated from operating activities was $29.9 million in 4Q25, representing a 28% YoY increase, and $53.0 million for FY25, up 27% from FY24. This improvement highlights the company’s disciplined approach to working capital management and efficiency, even in a difficult operating environment.
CEO Commentary
Federico Trucco, Chief Executive Officer of Bioceres, acknowledged the challenges of fiscal 2025, calling it “an extremely challenging year.” He noted that the final quarter’s performance was impacted by strategic changes in the seed business, which accounted for nearly half of the gross margin decline. While these changes had a short-term negative effect, Trucco emphasized that the adjustments carry positive long-term implications.
“The persistent slowdown in Argentina and higher-than-normal levels of impairments also weighed on performance,” he said. “However, we believe many of these effects are transitory and expect conditions to normalize in the coming months.”
To address the financial headwinds, Bioceres has implemented measures aimed at cost control, efficiency, and governance. These include:
- Cost structure adjustments: The company is targeting operating expense savings of 10–12%.
- Reduced CAPEX and R&D investment: Planned spending has been cut by 50%, bringing it down to between 2.5–3% of sales for fiscal 2026 and 2027, compared to nearly 6% previously. According to management, this slower investment pace will not impact near-term growth, as Bioceres already has the necessary registrations and manufacturing capacity in place to deliver on its three-year growth strategy.
- Working capital optimization: The company intends to maintain working capital levels equivalent to four to five months of sales, better aligned with its evolving product mix and business model.
- Financial obligations and governance: Bioceres has amended its note purchase agreements, extended convertible note maturities under revised terms, and restructured its board. The company is also transitioning its leadership team, including a search for a new Chief Financial Officer following the departure of Enrique Lopez Lecube, and a re-engineering of the Chief Commercial Officer role.
Market Dynamics and Regional Performance
The fourth-quarter results reflected the challenges in Argentina, where both crop protection and crop nutrition segments were affected by weak demand. Lower HB4-related sales also contributed to the revenue decline. Despite this, Bioceres saw resilience in international markets, where bio-protection products and adjuvant sales performed relatively well.
Gross margin for the quarter contracted from 38% to 34%, mainly due to a less favorable product mix and temporary pressure in certain categories.
For the full fiscal year, Argentina remained the biggest drag on results. The decline was driven by three key factors:
- Extraordinary prior-year sales linked to peso devaluation, which led channels to accumulate excess inventories.
- Weaker on-farm economics, making farmers more cautious with spending.
- Tighter financing conditions across the agricultural sector.
Additionally, the Seeds segment faced lower sales as the company transitioned its HB4 business model. While this shift is expected to strengthen Bioceres’ long-term positioning, it weighed on short-term results.
Operational Discipline and Outlook
Despite these headwinds, Bioceres continued to prioritize financial discipline. The company’s ability to generate higher operating cash flows, even in a year of reduced profitability, demonstrates strong execution on its working capital strategy.
Looking ahead, management believes the cost-saving initiatives and adjusted investment pace will create a leaner, more efficient organization. With existing registrations and capacity already in place, Bioceres expects to remain on track with its three-year plan, while also maintaining financial flexibility.
