**Financial Results Overview**

*First Nine Months 2025 Financial Results* 

For the first nine months of 2025, net earnings attributable to common stockholders were $1.05 billion, or $6.39 per diluted share, EBITDA was $2.05 billion, and adjusted EBITDA was $2.07 billion. These results compare to first nine months of 2024 net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $890 million, or $4.86 per diluted share, EBITDA of $1.75 billion, and adjusted EBITDA of $1.72 billion.

Net sales in the first nine months of 2025 were $5.21 billion compared to $4.41 billion in the first nine months of 2024. Average selling prices for the first nine months of 2025 were higher for all segments than in the first nine months of 2024 due to strong global nitrogen demand, supply disruptions due to geopolitical issues, and higher global energy costs that raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand. Sales volumes in the first nine months of 2025 were higher than in the first nine months of 2024 due primarily to greater ammonia supply availability as a result of increased production in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, which was adversely impacted by production outages from a winter storm in January 2024.

Cost of sales for the first nine months of 2025 was higher compared to the first nine months of 2024 due primarily to higher realized natural gas costs and higher sales volumes.

The average cost of natural gas, including the impact of realized derivatives, reflected in the Company's cost of sales was $3.34 per MMBtu in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the average cost of natural gas in cost of sales of $2.38 per MMBtu in the first nine months of 2024.

*Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results* 

For the third quarter of 2025, net earnings attributable to common stockholders were $353 million, or $2.19 per diluted share, EBITDA was $671 million, and adjusted EBITDA was $667 million. These results compare to third quarter of 2024 net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $276 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, EBITDA of $509 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $511 million.

Net sales in the third quarter of 2025 were $1.66 billion compared to $1.37 billion in the third quarter of 2024. Average selling prices were higher in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 due to strong global nitrogen demand, supply disruptions due to geopolitical issues, and higher global energy costs that raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand. Sales volumes were lower in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 due primarily to lower beginning inventories.

Cost of sales for the third quarter of 2025 was higher compared to the third quarter of 2024 due primarily to higher realized natural gas costs.

The average cost of natural gas, including the impact of realized derivatives, reflected in the Company's cost of sales was $2.96 per MMBtu in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the average cost of natural gas in cost of sales of $2.10 per MMBtu in the third quarter of 2024.

**Capital Management**

On April 8, 2025, CF Industries announced that it formed a joint venture (Blue Point joint venture) with JERA Co., Inc. (JERA) and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (Mitsui) for the construction, production and offtake of low-carbon ammonia. Upon formation, CF Industries held 40% ownership, JERA held 35% ownership, and Mitsui held 25% ownership in the joint venture, with the joint venture to be funded by the equity partners according to their ownership percentage.<sup>(4)</sup>

CF Industries consolidates the Blue Point joint venture in its consolidated financial statements, with the combined 60% interest owned by JERA and Mitsui recorded as noncontrolling interest. CF Industries' consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2025 included capital contributions from the joint venture equity partners, the cash held by the joint venture and the capital expenditures of the joint venture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

*Cash and Cash Equivalents*

As of September 30, 2025, CF Industries had cash and cash equivalents of $1.84 billion, of which $233 million was held by the Blue Point joint venture.

*Capital Expenditures*

Capital expenditures in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 were $347 million and $724 million, respectively, of which $123 million and $213 million was attributable to the Blue Point joint venture in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively.

Reflecting the consolidation of the Blue Point joint venture into CF Industries' financial statements, management projects capital expenditures for full year 2025 will be approximately $925 million, of which approximately $575 million is related to activities within the Company's existing network and $300-$400 million is related to total estimated capital expenditures in 2025 of the Blue Point joint venture, which will be funded by each joint venture partner according to their ownership percentage. The Company expects to have up to $25 million in capital expenditures in 2025 related to its wholly owned Blue Point common facilities. For the full year, management projects capital expenditures, excluding the portion of capital expenditures funded by JERA and Mitsui, to be approximately $725 million.

*Share Repurchase Programs*

The Company repurchased 12.5 million shares for $1.0 billion during the first nine months of 2025, which includes the repurchase of 4.3 million shares for $364 million during the third quarter of 2025.

In October 2025, the Company completed the share repurchase program that the Board of Directors authorized in 2022, having repurchased 37.6 million shares for $3 billion, reducing the outstanding share count by 19% since the beginning of the program. Upon completion of the 2022 share repurchase program, the Company commenced the $2 billion share repurchase program that the Board of Directors authorized in May 2025. The program is effective through December 2029.

Since 2010, CF Industries has repurchased 215.8 million shares for approximately $11.3 billion and reduced the outstanding share count by 56%.

*CHS Inc. Distribution*

CHS Inc. (CHS) is entitled to semi-annual distributions resulting from its minority equity investment in CF Industries Nitrogen, LLC (CFN). The estimate of the partnership distribution earned by CHS, but not yet declared, for the third quarter of 2025 is approximately $106 million.

**Nitrogen Market Outlook** 

Global nitrogen pricing was supported into the start of the third quarter of 2025 by strong global demand led by North America, India and Brazil and constrained supply availability due to outages in the quarter and earlier in the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

year. Global urea pricing moderated through the third quarter as is typical for this period though global ammonia pricing strengthened due to scheduled and unscheduled outages as well as steady demand.

In the near-term, management expects the global nitrogen supply-demand balance to remain constructive due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Continued strong global nitrogen demand:** Management expects continued positive global nitrogen demand through the end of 2025 and into 2026. India is projected to be the largest importer of urea in the world in 2025, with 7.3 million metric tons secured through urea tenders through the third quarter of 2025, with only another 430,000 metric tons secured in its October 2025 urea tender. The Company expects India to tender for urea frequently through March 2026 due to lower-than-expected domestic production and low inventory. Brazil is projected to require an additional 3 million metric tons of urea imports through the end of the year, supported by strong planted corn acreage. Nitrogen demand in North America is also expected to remain robust with farm economics currently favoring planting corn over soybeans in 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Low global nitrogen inventories:** Management believes that global nitrogen inventories were lower-than-average entering the fourth quarter of 2025 despite the resumption of urea exports from China in the third quarter of 2025. Strong demand, supply disruptions due to natural gas availability in key production regions, and challenging producer economics in Europe and Asia have all contributed to the current inventory landscape.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Emerging demand for low-carbon ammonia:** Management expects demand for low-carbon ammonia to continue to grow in 2026 for both fertilizer and industrial applications led by European companies looking to establish a low-carbon ammonia supply chain in response to the implementation of the European Union's carbon border adjustment mechanism.

Over the medium-term, significant energy cost differentials between North American producers and high-cost producers in Europe and Asia are expected to persist. As a result, the Company believes the global nitrogen cost structure will remain supportive of strong margin opportunities for low-cost North American producers.

Longer-term, management expects the global nitrogen supply-demand balance to tighten as global nitrogen capacity under construction is not projected to keep pace with expected global nitrogen demand growth over the next four years of approximately 1.5% per year for traditional applications and new demand growth for clean energy applications. Global production is expected to remain constrained by poor margins for European ammonia producers and availability of natural gas in Egypt, Trinidad, and Iran.

**Strategic Initiatives Update** 

*Blue Point Joint Venture with JERA and Mitsui*

The Blue Point joint venture will construct at CF Industries' Blue Point Complex in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, an autothermal reforming (ATR) ammonia production facility with a carbon dioxide (CO2) dehydration and compression unit to prepare captured CO2 for transportation and sequestration. The project execution team has been assembled and procurement of long lead equipment items is largely complete. Detailed engineering activities along with the regulatory permitting process are progressing to support the start of facility civil construction in 2026.

*Verdigris, OK, Complex Nitric Acid Abatement Project*

In October 2025, CF Industries completed a nitric acid plant abatement project at its Verdigris, Oklahoma, facility. The abatement project is expected to significantly reduce N2O emissions from the plant, lowering CO2-e emissions by over 600,000 metric tons on an annual basis. The Company is monetizing the decarbonization project by selling environmental attributes generated by the project, including through the Low-Carbon Fertilizer Alliance, which is a collaborative initiative, launched by 3Degrees, that works to reduce emissions in agricultural supply chains by focusing on low-carbon fertilizers.

*Yazoo City, MS, Carbon Capture and Sequestration Project*

CF Industries signed a definitive commercial agreement in July 2024 with ExxonMobil for the transport and sequestration in permanent geologic storage of up to 500,000 metric tons of CO2 annually from the Company's Yazoo City, Mississippi, Complex. CF Industries will invest approximately $100 million into its Yazoo City Complex to build a CO2 dehydration and compression unit to enable up to 500,000 metric tons of CO2 captured from the ammonia production process per year to be transported and stored. The Company has ordered long lead equipment items, including the CO2 compressor, and is progressing through detailed engineering to achieve a 2028

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

startup. CF Industries expects the project to qualify for tax credits under Section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides a credit per metric ton of CO2 sequestered.

<sup>(1)</sup> Nutrient tons represent the tons of nitrogen within the product tons.

<sup>(2)</sup> Adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin as a percent of net sales and adjusted gross margin per product ton and per nutrient ton are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted gross margin is defined as gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization and unrealized net mark-to-market (gain) loss on natural gas derivatives. A reconciliation of adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin as a percent of net sales and adjusted gross margin per product ton and per nutrient ton to gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the table above.

Comparison of first nine months of 2025 to first nine months of 2024:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ammonia sales volume for 2025 increased compared to 2024 due primarily to greater supply availability from higher gross ammonia production.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* Ammonia average selling prices increased for 2025 compared to 2024 as strong global nitrogen demand, supply disruptions due to geopolitical issues, and higher global energy costs raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ammonia adjusted gross margin per ton increased for 2025 compared to 2024 due primarily to higher average selling prices and lower maintenance costs partially offset by higher realized natural gas costs.

**Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that EBITDA, EBITDA per ton, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per ton, free cash flow, and, on a segment basis, adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin as a percent of net sales and adjusted gross margin per product ton and per nutrient ton, which are non-GAAP financial measures, provide additional meaningful information regarding the Company's performance and financial strength. Management uses these measures, and believes they are useful to investors, as supplemental financial measures in the comparison of year-over-year performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, EBITDA, EBITDA per ton, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per ton, free cash flow, adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin as a percent of net sales and adjusted gross margin per product ton and per nutrient ton, included in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of EBITDA, EBITDA per ton, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per ton, and free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables accompanying this release under "CF Industries Holdings, Inc.-Selected Financial Information-Non-GAAP Disclosure Items." Reconciliations of adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin as a percent of net sales and adjusted gross margin per product ton and per nutrient ton to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the segment tables included in this release.

The Company has presented free cash flow because management uses this measure and believes it is useful to investors, as an indication of the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash and to evaluate the Company's cash generation ability relative to its industry competitors.

**NON-GAAP DISCLOSURE ITEMS (CONTINUED)**

**Reconciliation of net earnings attributable to common stockholders and net earnings attributable to common stockholders per ton (GAAP measures) to EBITDA, EBITDA per ton, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per ton (non-GAAP measures), as applicable:**

EBITDA is defined as net earnings attributable to common stockholders plus interest expense (income)—net, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Other adjustments include the elimination of the portion of interest income (expense)—net and the portion of depreciation and amortization that are included in noncontrolling interests, and loan fee amortization that is included in both interest and amortization.

The Company has presented EBITDA and EBITDA per ton because management uses these measures to track performance and believes that they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted with the selected items as summarized in the table below. The Company has presented adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per ton because management uses these measures, and believes they are useful to investors, as supplemental financial measures in the comparison of year-over-year performance.
