What this company does

AI

Air Products produces and distributes industrial gases like oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and helium, supplying customers in refining, chemicals, electronics, and metals through long-term on-site contracts and merchant deliveries. It generates revenue primarily by selling these gases under multi-decade take-or-pay agreements, complemented by equipment sales and equity-method earnings from joint ventures. The company has swung back to profitability after taking $2.9 billion in business and asset action charges last year tied to a strategic retreat from money-losing clean hydrogen megaprojects, including its NEOM Green Hydrogen joint venture.

  • NEOM Green Hydrogen VIE exposure: $7.9B of consolidated assets tied to the JV, with $5.3B of non-recourse VIE liabilities on the balance sheet.
  • Heavy leverage and capex burden: $17.3B long-term debt against $951M cash; H1 capex of $2.36B exceeded operating cash flow of $2.0B.
  • Prior-year $2.93B business and asset actions charge signals ongoing strategic project write-downs, with another $22M impairment booked in H1 2026.

Top questions investors are asking

AI
  1. 1

    With NEOM VIE assets now $7.9B and capex still $2.4B in the half, what's your hard backstop if green hydrogen offtake economics deteriorate further?

  2. 2

    Last year's $2.93B business and asset actions charge—can you confirm no further write-downs are coming on the remaining clean hydrogen project portfolio?

  3. 3

    Long-term debt sits at $17.1B against $951M cash; how do you fund FY26 capex and the $1.6B dividend without rating pressure?
