9.   Income Taxes 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded an income tax provision of $86 million on pre-tax income of $437 million, or an effective tax rate of 19.8%, compared to an income tax provision of $62 million on pre-tax income of $300 million, or an effective tax rate of 20.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. 

Our effective tax rate is impacted by earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest in CF Industries Nitrogen, LLC (CFN), as our consolidated income tax provision does not include a tax provision on the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of 19.8%, which is based on pre-tax income of $437 million, including $39 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, would be 1.9 percentage points higher if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the $39 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of 20.7%, which is based on pre-tax income of $300 million, including $44 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, would be 3.6 percentage points higher if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the $44 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest.
