Nov. 5, 2026 Source: CHS news release Inver Grove Heights, MN -- CHS Inc., a global agribusiness and the nation's leading cooperative, today reported net income of $1.1 billion for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2026, compared to $597.9 million for fiscal year 2025. Key highlights for fiscal year 2026 financial results include: *Consolidated revenues of $39.2 billion for fiscal year 2026 compared to $35.5 billion for fiscal year 2025 with the increase due largely to higher commodity prices. *Our Energy segment recorded strong refining margins, driven by global market dynamics and high refinery production volumes, which were partially offset by record-high expenses for renewable energy credits (RINs). *Our Grains segment benefited from strong oilseed crush and ethanol margins resulting from renewable energy policy impacts, which were partially offset by global trade headwinds and reduced retail margins. *Continued strong performance by our CF Nitrogen investment was offset by lower agronomy volumes, driven by reduced demand related to ongoing weakness in the U.S. farm economy. "Our results demonstrate the strength of our diversified businesses and strategic supply chain investments," said Jay Debertin, president and CEO. "While market and policy conditions continued to shift and create volatility throughout the year, our teams executed exceptionally well across our operations, allowing us to capture opportunities in energy and agriculture markets while continuing to serve our owners." CHS also reported intended distribution of $300 million in cash patronage and equity redemptions to its owners in fiscal year 2027, an approximately 150% increase over the fiscal year 2026 distribution. The total will be distributed as $150 million in cash patronage and up to $150 million in equity redemptions. When the planned distributions are complete in 2027, CHS will have returned more than $2.7 billion to owners over the past five years. "These planned cash returns to our owners demonstrate the benefits of CHS ownership and the CHS Board of Directors' commitment to sharing profits with our owners and strengthening rural communities, while investing in our businesses," Debertin added. CHS recently announced several significant investments, including a proposed nearly $450 million phosphate production facility to be built in Louisiana in a joint venture with OCP North America and a new approximately $700 million soybean processing facility in Evansville, Wisconsin, which would increase CHS soy processing capacity by two-thirds. Pending project-related approvals, both facilities are expected to be operational in late 2028 or 2029. To read the entire report click here. Tweet |
