**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**1. Background and Basis of Presentation**

Our mission is to provide clean energy to feed and fuel the world sustainably. With our employees focused on safe and reliable operations, environmental stewardship, and disciplined capital and corporate management, we are on a path to decarbonize our ammonia production network – the world's largest – to enable low-carbon hydrogen and nitrogen products for energy, fertilizer, emissions abatement, and other industrial activities. Our manufacturing complexes in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, an extensive storage, transportation and distribution network in North America, and logistics capabilities enabling a global reach underpin our strategy to leverage our unique capabilities to accelerate the world's transition to clean energy. Our principal customers are cooperatives, retailers, independent fertilizer distributors, traders, wholesalers and industrial users. Our core product is anhydrous ammonia (ammonia), which contains 82% nitrogen and 18% hydrogen. Products derived from ammonia that are most often used as nitrogen fertilizers include granular urea, urea ammonium nitrate solution (UAN) and ammonium nitrate (AN). AN is also used extensively by the commercial explosives industry as a component of explosives. Products derived from ammonia that are sold primarily to industrial customers include diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), urea liquor, nitric acid and aqua ammonia.

All references to "CF Holdings," "the Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to CF Industries Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where the context makes clear that the reference is to CF Industries Holdings, Inc. only and not its subsidiaries. All references to "CF Industries" refer to CF Industries, Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of CF Industries Holdings, Inc.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of CF Holdings include the accounts of CF Industries, all of CF Holdings' majority-owned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity of which we are the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. See Note 12—Variable Interest Entity and Note 13—Noncontrolling Interests for additional information.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, that are necessary for the fair representation of the information for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Operating results for any period presented apply to that period only and are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025. The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires us to make use of estimates and assumptions that may significantly affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Such estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, net realizable value of inventories, environmental remediation liabilities, environmental and litigation contingencies, asset retirement obligations, the cost of emission credits required to meet environmental regulations, the cost of customer incentives, useful lives of property and identifiable intangible assets, the evaluation of potential impairments of property, investments, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, income tax reserves, including any related interest and penalties, and the assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets, measurement of the fair values of investments for which markets are not active, the determination of the funded status and annual expense of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans, and the valuation of stock-based compensation awards granted to employees.

**2. New Accounting Standards**

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU adds new guidance that further enhances income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are continuing to evaluate the impact that our adoption of this ASU will have on our income tax disclosures beginning with the consolidated financial statements that will be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#iabcb0d0c8473422d846bdc5d8f2edb92_7)</u>

**CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.**

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires disclosure, within the footnotes to the financial statements, of specified costs and expenses disaggregated from the amounts presented on consolidated statements of operations. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that our adoption of this ASU will have on the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.

**3. Revenue Recognition** 

We track our revenue by product and by geography. See Note 15—Segment Disclosures for our revenue by reportable segment, which are Ammonia, Granular Urea, UAN, AN and Other. The following table summarizes our revenue by product and by geography (based on the destination of our shipment) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

---

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $32 million and $118 million, respectively, in customer advances on our consolidated balance sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, substantially all of the customer advances at the beginning of each respective period were recognized as revenue.

We offer cash incentives to certain customers generally based on the volume of their purchases over the fertilizer year ending June 30. Our cash incentives do not provide an option to the customer for additional product. The balances of customer incentives accrued as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were not material.

We have certain customer contracts with performance obligations where if the customer does not take the required amount of product specified in the contract, then the customer is required to make a payment to us, the amount of which may vary based upon the terms and conditions of the applicable contract. As of June 30, 2025, excluding contracts with original durations of less than one year, and based on the minimum product tonnage to be sold and current market price estimates, our remaining performance obligations under these contracts were approximately $2.3 billion. We expect to recognize approximately 12% of these performance obligations as revenue in the remainder of 2025, approximately 38% as revenue during 2026-2028, approximately 17% as revenue during 2029-2031, and the remainder as revenue thereafter. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable contracts, if these customers do not satisfy their purchase obligations under such contracts, the minimum amount that they would be required to pay to us under such contracts, in the aggregate, was approximately $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2025. Other than the performance obligations described above, any performance obligations with our customers that were unfulfilled or partially filled at December 31, 2024 will be satisfied in 2025.

*Supply Contract Liability*

In connection with our December 1, 2023 acquisition of the Waggaman ammonia production facility, we entered into a long-term ammonia offtake agreement providing for us to supply up to 200,000 tons of ammonia per year to Dyno Nobel, Inc. (the Supply Contract). The terms of the Supply Contract were determined to be unfavorable compared to market as of the acquisition date. As a result, we recorded an intangible liability with an acquisition date fair value of $757 million, which is being amortized to net sales over the estimated life of the Supply Contract of 25 years. For both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we amortized $8 million of the Supply Contract liability into net sales. For both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we amortized $15 million of the Supply Contract liability into net sales. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $709 million and $724 million, respectively, in Supply Contract liability on our consolidated balance sheets. Estimated amortization of the Supply Contract liability for the remainder of 2025 is approximately $15 million and for each of the fiscal years 2026 to 2030 is approximately $30 million.

**4. Net Earnings Per Share**

Net earnings per share were computed as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three months ended <br> June 30,** | **Three months ended <br> June 30,** | **Six months ended <br> June 30,** | **Six months ended <br> June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| | **(in millions, except per share amounts)** | **(in millions, except per share amounts)** | **(in millions, except per share amounts)** | **(in millions, except per share amounts)** |
| Net earnings attributable to common stockholders | $386 | $420 | $698 | $614 |
| Basic earnings per common share: |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Weighted-average common shares outstanding | 162.9 | 182.7 | 165.8 | 185.1 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net earnings attributable to common stockholders | $2.37 | $2.30 | $4.21 | $3.31 |
| Diluted earnings per common share: |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Weighted-average common shares outstanding | 162.9 | 182.7 | 165.8 | 185.1 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dilutive common shares—stock-based awards | 0.2 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 0.4 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding | 163.1 | 182.8 | 165.9 | 185.5 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net earnings attributable to common stockholders | $2.37 | $2.30 | $4.20 | $3.31 |

---

Diluted earnings per common share is calculated using weighted-average common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of stock-based awards as determined under the treasury stock method. In the computation of diluted earnings per common share, potentially dilutive stock-based awards are excluded if the effect of their inclusion is anti-dilutive. Shares for anti-dilutive stock-based awards not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share were zero in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

**5. Inventories** 

Inventories consist of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Property, plant and equipment—net | $6743 | $6735 |

---

_______________________________________________________________________________

<sup>(1)</sup> As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had property, plant and equipment that was accrued but unpaid of $183 million and $101 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had property, plant and equipment that was accrued but unpaid of $71 million and $68 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization related to property, plant and equipment was $230 million and $450 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $220 million and $472 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

*Plant turnarounds*—Scheduled inspections, replacements and overhauls of plant machinery and equipment at our continuous process manufacturing facilities during a full plant shutdown are referred to as plant turnarounds. The expenditures related to plant turnarounds are capitalized in property, plant and equipment when incurred.

Scheduled replacements and overhauls of plant machinery and equipment during a plant turnaround include the dismantling, repair or replacement and installation of various components including piping, valves, motors, turbines, pumps, compressors and heat exchangers and the replacement of catalysts. Scheduled inspections, including required safety inspections which entail the disassembly of various components such as steam boilers, pressure vessels and other equipment requiring safety certifications, are also conducted during plant turnarounds. Internal employee costs and overhead amounts are not considered plant turnaround costs and are not capitalized.

The following is a summary of capitalized plant turnaround costs:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Six months ended <br> June 30,** | **Six months ended <br> June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |

*United Kingdom Operations*

In the second quarter of 2022, we approved and announced our proposed plan to restructure our U.K. operations, including the planned permanent closure of the Ince facility, which had been idled since September 2021. For property, plant and equipment within the Ince, U.K. asset group, an asset group planned for abandonment, we first considered use of a market or income-based valuation method. However, given that a secondary market did not exist and the assets had been idled with a planned abandonment and therefore would not generate future cash flows from operations, we estimated the fair value of the asset group by determining the replacement cost of the underlying assets and then adjusting each of the asset categories to an estimated salvage value utilizing industry recognized price publications. In the third quarter of 2022, the final restructuring plan was approved, and the facility was subsequently decommissioned.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#iabcb0d0c8473422d846bdc5d8f2edb92_7)</u>

**CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.**

In the first quarter of 2025, the Ince facility was sold, including certain liabilities assumed by the buyer, and we recognized a loss of $23 million on the sale. The loss is reflected in U.K. operations restructuring in our consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

**7. Equity Method Investment**

We have a 50% ownership interest in Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited (PLNL), which operates an ammonia production facility in Trinidad and Tobago. We include our share of the net earnings from this equity method investment as an element of earnings from operations because PLNL provides additional production to our operations and is integrated with our other supply chain and sales activities in the Ammonia segment. As of June 30, 2025, the total carrying value of our equity method investment in PLNL was $35 million.

We have transactions in the normal course of business with PLNL reflecting our obligation to purchase 50% of the ammonia produced by PLNL at current market prices. Our ammonia purchases from PLNL totaled $21 million and $55 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $16 million and $46 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

*Cash Equivalents* 

Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our cash equivalents consisted primarily of U.S. and Canadian government obligations and money market mutual funds that invest in U.S. government obligations and other investment-grade securities.

*Nonqualified Employee Benefit Trusts*

We maintain trusts associated with certain nonqualified supplemental pension plans. The fair values of the trust assets are based on daily quoted prices in an active market and are included on our consolidated balance sheets in other assets. Debt securities are accounted for as available-for-sale securities, and changes in fair value are reported in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale equity securities in the trust assets are recognized through earnings.

*Derivative Instruments*

The derivative instruments that we use are primarily natural gas fixed price swaps, basis swaps and options traded in the over-the-counter markets with multi-national commercial banks, other major financial institutions or large energy companies. The natural gas derivative contracts represent anticipated natural gas needs for future periods, and settlements are scheduled to coincide with anticipated natural gas purchases during those future periods. The natural gas derivative contracts settle using primarily a NYMEX futures price index. To determine the fair value of these instruments, we use quoted market prices from NYMEX and standard pricing models with inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as forward curves supplied by an industry-recognized independent third party.

**CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.**

*Financial Instruments*

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our financial instruments are as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30, 2025** | **June 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** | **December 31, 2024** |
| | **Carrying<br>Amount** | **Fair Value** | **Carrying<br>Amount** | **Fair Value** |
| | **(in millions)** | **(in millions)** | **(in millions)** | **(in millions)** |
| Long-term debt | $2973 | $2866 | $2971 | $2827 |

---

The fair value of our long-term debt was based on quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities in markets that are not active or valuation models in which all significant inputs and value drivers are observable and, as a result, they are classified as Level 2 inputs.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, as well as any instruments included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair values because of their short-term maturities.

*Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis*

We also have assets and liabilities that may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment, when there is allocation of purchase price in an acquisition or when a new liability is being established that requires fair value measurement. These include long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, such as equity method investments, which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment. The fair value measurements related to assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis rely primarily on Company-specific inputs. Since certain of the Company's assumptions would involve inputs that are not observable, these fair values would reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

**9. Income Taxes** 

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded an income tax provision of $143 million on pre-tax income of $635 million, or an effective tax rate of 22.4%, compared to an income tax provision of $123 million on pre-tax income of $629 million, or an effective tax rate of 19.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded an income tax provision of $229 million on pre-tax income of $1.07 billion, or an effective tax rate of 21.3%, compared to an income tax provision of $185 million on pre-tax income of $929 million, or an effective tax rate of 19.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Our income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 includes $21 million of income tax expense related to an increase in our unrecognized tax benefits resulting from ongoing tax audits, which increased our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 by 3.4 percentage points and 2.0 percentage points, respectively.

Our effective tax rate is impacted by earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests as our consolidated income tax provision does not include a tax provision on the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 of 22.4%, which is based on pre-tax income of $635 million, including $106 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests, would be 4.5 percentage points higher if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the $106 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of 19.5%, which is based on pre-tax income of $629 million, including $86 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, would be 3.1 percentage points higher if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the $86 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of 21.3%, which is based on pre-tax income of $1.07 billion, including $145 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests, would be 3.4 percentage points higher if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the $145 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of 19.9%, which is based on pre-tax income of $929 million, including $130 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, would be 3.2 percentage points higher if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the $130 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest.

**10. Financing Agreements** 

*Revolving Credit Agreement* 

We have a senior unsecured revolving credit agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement), which provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $750 million with a maturity of October 26, 2028 and includes a letter of credit sub-limit of $125 million. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases and other general corporate purposes. CF Industries is the lead borrower, and CF Holdings is the sole guarantor, under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement can be denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros and British pounds. Borrowings in U.S. dollars bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at our option, an applicable adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate or base rate plus, in either case, a specified margin. We are required to pay an undrawn commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement and customary letter of credit fees. The specified margin and the amount of the commitment fee depended on CF Holdings' credit rating at the time.

As of June 30, 2025, we had unused borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Agreement of $750 million and no outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement. In addition, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2024, or during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

*Letters of Credit Under Bilateral Agreement*

We are party to a bilateral agreement providing for the issuance of up to $425 million of letters of credit. As of June 30, 2025, approximately $342 million of letters of credit were outstanding under this agreement.

**12. Variable Interest Entity** 

On April 8, 2025, we announced that we formed a joint venture, Blue Point Number One, LLC, with JERA Co., Inc. (JERA), Japan's largest energy company, and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (Mitsui), a leading global investment and trading company, for the construction, production and offtake of low-carbon ammonia (the Blue Point joint venture). We hold 40% ownership, JERA holds 35% ownership, and Mitsui holds 25% ownership in the Blue Point joint venture. Under the terms of the Blue Point joint venture's limited liability company agreement, JERA has a conditional option to reduce its ownership percentage that expires on December 31, 2025. If the specified condition is met, JERA can reduce its ownership below 35% but not lower than 20%. We would have the right and obligation to increase our ownership by the same amount that JERA reduces its ownership.

At our Blue Point complex in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, the Blue Point joint venture is expected to construct an autothermal reforming (ATR) ammonia production facility with a carbon dioxide (CO2) dehydration and compression unit to prepare captured CO2 for transportation and sequestration. Engineering, equipment procurement and pre-construction activities at our Blue Point complex began in the second quarter of 2025. Construction of the ammonia production facility is expected to begin in 2026, with low-carbon ammonia production expected to begin in 2029. We will be responsible for the development, operation and maintenance of the ammonia production facility under contracts with the Blue Point joint venture. We, JERA and Mitsui are required to purchase low-carbon ammonia produced by the Blue Point joint venture in accordance with our respective ownership percentages.

Pursuant to periodic capital calls, the Blue Point joint venture members will fund the cost of the facility's engineering, procurement and construction according to their respective ownership percentages. During the second quarter of 2025, we, JERA and Mitsui made initial capital contributions of $157 million, $137 million and $98 million, respectively, to the Blue Point joint venture. We funded $114 million of our contribution with cash and $43 million through a non-cash contribution of a license to use certain intellectual property.

In addition, we will build scalable infrastructure at our Blue Point complex to supply the ammonia production facility with services, including product storage and vessel loading.

We determined that the Blue Point joint venture is a variable interest entity (VIE) of which we are the primary beneficiary. We have a significant variable interest in the Blue Point joint venture through our 40% equity interest. We are considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE as we have both the power to direct the day-to-day operations of the low-carbon ammonia production facility, which are the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, due to our 40% equity interest. As a result, we consolidate this VIE in our consolidated financial statements, with the combined 60% equity interest owned by JERA and Mitsui recorded as noncontrolling interest.

The table below summarizes the assets and liabilities of the Blue Point joint venture included in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025:

As of June 30, 2025, all assets of the Blue Point joint venture can only be used to settle the obligations of the Blue Point joint venture. In addition, as of June 30, 2025, all liabilities of the Blue Point joint venture are payable to creditors who do not have recourse to the general credit of CF Holdings.

CF Holdings has provided guarantees for certain financial commitments of the Blue Point joint venture to several third-party vendors; however, as of June 30, 2025, no liabilities had been incurred by the Blue Point joint venture to these third-party vendors.

**13. Noncontrolling Interests** 

We have a strategic venture with CHS Inc. (CHS) under which CHS owns an equity interest in CF Industries Nitrogen, LLC (CFN), a subsidiary of CF Holdings. CHS' equity interest represents approximately 11% of the membership interests of CFN. We own the remaining membership interests. Under the terms of CFN's limited liability company agreement, each member's interest will reflect, over time, the impact of the profitability of CFN, any member contributions made to CFN and withdrawals and distributions received from CFN. We also have a 40% ownership interest in the Blue Point joint venture. JERA and Mitsui own the remaining membership interests. See Note 12—Variable Interest Entity for additional information on the Blue Point joint venture.

For financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities and earnings of CFN and the Blue Point joint venture are consolidated into our financial statements. CHS' interest in CFN and each of JERA's and Mitsui's interests in the Blue Point joint venture are recorded in noncontrolling interests in our consolidated financial statements.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of noncontrolling interests and distributions payable to the noncontrolling interests in our consolidated balance sheets is provided below.

**CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.**

CHS also receives deliveries pursuant to a supply agreement under which CHS has the right to purchase annually from CFN up to approximately 1.1 million tons of granular urea and 580,000 tons of UAN at market prices. As a result of its equity interest in CFN, CHS is entitled to semi-annual cash distributions from CFN. We are also entitled to semi-annual cash distributions from CFN. The amounts of distributions from CFN to us and CHS are based generally on the profitability of CFN and determined based on the volume of granular urea and UAN sold by CFN to us and CHS pursuant to supply agreements, less a formula driven amount based primarily on the cost of natural gas used to produce the granular urea and UAN, and adjusted for the allocation of items such as operational efficiencies and overhead amounts.

On July 31, 2025, the CFN Board of Managers approved semi-annual distribution payments for the distribution period ended June 30, 2025 in accordance with CFN's limited liability company agreement, and CFN distributed $175 million to CHS for this distribution period.

**14. Stockholders' Equity** 

*Common Stock* 

Our Board of Directors (the Board) has authorized certain programs to repurchase shares of our common stock. These programs have generally permitted repurchases to be made from time to time in the open market, through privately-negotiated transactions, through block transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs or otherwise. The manner, timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by our management based on the evaluation of market conditions, stock price and other factors.

On November 2, 2022, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $3 billion of CF Holdings common stock, which is effective through December 31, 2025 (the 2022 Share Repurchase Program). On May 6, 2025, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $2 billion of CF Holdings common stock commencing upon the completion of the 2022 Share Repurchase Program and effective through December 31, 2029.

The following table summarizes the share repurchases under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program.

**15. Segment Disclosures**

Our reportable segments consist of Ammonia, Granular Urea, UAN, AN and Other. These segments are differentiated by products. Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our President and Chief Executive Officer, who uses gross margin to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. The CODM meets periodically with other members of senior management to analyze segment performance, including comparing actual results to projected results, with consideration to the costs incurred to produce and deliver the product. In addition, our CODM uses gross margin by reportable segment to make key operating decisions, such as the determination of capital expenditures and the allocation of operating budgets, to help guide strategic decisions to align with company-wide goals. Total other operating costs and expenses (consisting primarily of selling, general and administrative expenses and other operating—net) and non-operating expenses (consisting primarily of interest and income taxes) are centrally managed and are not included in the measurement of segment profitability reviewed by the CODM. The ammonia and other products that are upgraded into Granular Urea, UAN, AN and Other products are transferred at cost into the results of those products.

Segment data for gross margin, including sales and cost of sales, which also includes significant expenses, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are presented in the tables below.

**Overview of CF Holdings**

***Our Company***

Our mission is to provide clean energy to feed and fuel the world sustainably. With our employees focused on safe and reliable operations, environmental stewardship, and disciplined capital and corporate management, we are on a path to decarbonize our ammonia production network – the world's largest – to enable low-carbon hydrogen and nitrogen products for energy, fertilizer, emissions abatement, and other industrial activities. Our manufacturing complexes in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, an extensive storage, transportation and distribution network in North America, and logistics capabilities enabling a global reach underpin our strategy to leverage our unique capabilities to accelerate the world's transition to clean energy. Our principal customers are cooperatives, retailers, independent fertilizer distributors, traders, wholesalers and industrial users. Our core product is anhydrous ammonia (ammonia), which contains 82% nitrogen and 18% hydrogen. Products derived from ammonia that are most often used as nitrogen fertilizers include granular urea, urea ammonium nitrate solution (UAN) and ammonium nitrate (AN). AN is also used extensively by the commercial explosives industry as a component of explosives. Products derived from ammonia that are sold primarily to industrial customers include diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), urea liquor, nitric acid and aqua ammonia.

Our principal assets as of June 30, 2025 include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• six U.S. manufacturing facilities located in: Donaldsonville, Louisiana (the largest ammonia production complex in the world); Sergeant Bluff, Iowa (our Port Neal complex); Yazoo City, Mississippi; Claremore, Oklahoma (our Verdigris complex); Woodward, Oklahoma; and Waggaman, Louisiana. The Waggaman facility is wholly owned by us, and the other five U.S. manufacturing facilities are wholly owned directly or indirectly by CF Industries Nitrogen, LLC (CFN), of which we own approximately 89% and CHS Inc. (CHS) owns the remainder (see Note 13—Noncontrolling Interests for additional information on our strategic venture with CHS);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• two Canadian manufacturing facilities located in: Medicine Hat, Alberta (the largest ammonia production complex in Canada); and Courtright, Ontario;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* a United Kingdom manufacturing facility located in Billingham;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an extensive system of terminals and associated transportation equipment located primarily in the Midwestern United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 50% interest in Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited (PLNL), an ammonia production joint venture located in Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad) that we account for under the equity method; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 40% interest in Blue Point Number One, LLC, a joint venture formed on April 8, 2025, that is a variable interest entity (VIE) of which we are the primary beneficiary. As a result, we consolidate this entity in our consolidated financial statements, with the combined 60% equity interest owned by our joint venture partners recorded as noncontrolling interest. See "Our Strategy—Blue Point joint venture," below, for additional information.

***Our Strategy***

At our core, CF Industries is a producer of ammonia. We use the Haber-Bosch process to fix atmospheric nitrogen with hydrogen from natural gas to produce anhydrous ammonia, whose chemical composition is NH3. We sell the ammonia itself or upgrade it to products such as granular urea, UAN and DEF. A majority of the ammonia and ammonia-derived products we manufacture are used as fertilizer, as the nitrogen content provides energy essential for crop growth. Other important uses of our products include emissions control.

Our strategy is to leverage our unique capabilities to accelerate the world's transition to clean energy. We believe this strategy builds upon our leadership in ammonia production to capture emerging opportunities to produce ammonia with a lower carbon intensity ("low-carbon ammonia") than that of ammonia produced through traditional processes. These opportunities include traditional applications in agriculture to help reduce the carbon footprint of food production and the life cycle carbon intensity of ethanol production, enabling production of sustainable aviation fuel, among other purposes. These opportunities also include new growth opportunities from energy-intensive industries, such as power generation and marine shipping, as ammonia represents an efficient mechanism to both ship and store hydrogen, as well as a clean energy fuel source in its own right as ammonia does not contain or emit carbon when combusted. Our strategy also strengthens our existing business.

We execute our strategy across four dimensions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• decarbonizing our existing network to accelerate the availability of low-carbon ammonia and upgraded nitrogen products for traditional agricultural and industrial applications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• building new low-carbon ammonia capacity to supply emerging opportunities from power generation and marine shipping, among others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• forging partnerships to accelerate our timeline, reducing risks and bridging gaps in areas where we do not have expertise; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• collaborating to build understanding of ammonia's clean energy capability, safety track record and regulatory environment.

*Decarbonizing our existing network*

At our Donaldsonville and Yazoo City complexes, our decarbonization projects are leveraging carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) to enable us to convert a portion of our existing ammonia production to low-carbon ammonia production. CCS requires the construction of carbon dioxide (CO2) dehydration and compression units to enable process CO2 captured from the ammonia production process to be transported and sequestered, which prevents approximately 60% of the CO2 generated by ammonia production from being emitted to the atmosphere. For each facility we have contracted with ExxonMobil to transport and permanently store the captured CO2.

In July 2025, construction, commissioning and start-up of the dehydration and compression unit at our Donaldsonville complex was completed for a total cost of approximately $200 million. This new facility enables the transportation and permanent geological sequestration of up to 2 million metric tons of CO2 annually that would otherwise have been emitted into the atmosphere. ExxonMobil, our CCS partner for this project, is transporting and permanently storing the CO2. The project qualifies for tax credits under Section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides a tax credit per metric ton of CO2 captured and disposed of in secure geologic storage. As a result of the Donaldsonville CCS project, we expect to produce up to approximately 1.9 million tons of low-carbon ammonia annually at our Donaldsonville complex.

On an interim basis, ExxonMobil is storing CO2 from our Donaldsonville complex in permanent geologic sites through enhanced oil recovery. Upon receiving its Class VI permits, ExxonMobil plans to transition to dedicated permanent storage, starting with its Rose CCS project (Rose). Rose is one of many dedicated permanent storage sites ExxonMobil is developing along the Gulf Coast to expand its integrated CCS network. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a draft Class VI permit for Rose in July 2025, and final permits are expected later in 2025.

Construction of the dehydration and compression unit at our Yazoo City complex is expected to cost approximately $100 million. At Yazoo City, CCS is expected to commence in 2028, following construction, commissioning and start-up, and annually is expected to enable the transportation and sequestration of up to approximately 500,000 metric tons of CO2 that would otherwise have been emitted into the atmosphere. The Yazoo City CCS project is expected to qualify for tax credits under Section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides a tax credit per metric ton of CO2 captured and disposed of in secure geologic storage.

*Blue Point joint venture*

On April 8, 2025, we announced that we formed a joint venture, Blue Point Number One, LLC, with JERA Co., Inc. (JERA), Japan's largest energy company, and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (Mitsui), a leading global investment and trading company, for the construction, production and offtake of low-carbon ammonia (the Blue Point joint venture). We hold 40% ownership, JERA holds 35% ownership, and Mitsui holds 25% ownership in the Blue Point joint venture. Under the terms of the Blue Point joint venture's limited liability company agreement, JERA has a conditional option to reduce its ownership percentage that expires on December 31, 2025. If the specified condition is met, JERA can reduce its ownership below 35% but not lower than 20%. We would have the right and obligation to increase our ownership by the same amount that JERA reduces its ownership.

At our Blue Point complex in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, the Blue Point joint venture is expected to construct an autothermal reforming (ATR) ammonia production facility with a CO2 dehydration and compression unit to prepare captured CO2 for transportation and sequestration. Engineering, equipment procurement and pre-construction activities at our Blue Point complex began in the second quarter of 2025. Construction of the ammonia production facility is expected to begin in 2026, with low-carbon ammonia production expected to begin in 2029. We will be responsible for the development, operation and maintenance of the ammonia production facility under contracts with the Blue Point joint venture. We, JERA and Mitsui are required to purchase low-carbon ammonia produced by the Blue Point joint venture in accordance with our respective ownership percentages.

We estimate that the cost of the low-carbon ATR ammonia production facility with CCS technologies will be approximately $3.7 billion. We anticipate that approximately one-third of the estimated cost is related to materials that will be imported to the United States, with the majority of imported materials expected to arrive in Louisiana in 2028. Pursuant to periodic capital calls, the Blue Point joint venture members will fund the cost of the facility's engineering, procurement and construction according to their respective ownership percentages. During the second quarter of 2025, we, JERA and Mitsui made initial capital contributions of $157 million, $137 million and $98 million, respectively, to the Blue Point joint venture. We funded $114 million of our contribution with cash and $43 million through a non-cash contribution of a license to use certain intellectual property.

In June 2025, the Blue Point joint venture executed agreements, including a long-term supply agreement, for a subsidiary of Linde plc to design, construct, own, operate and maintain an air separation unit (ASU) at our Blue Point complex to supply oxygen and nitrogen to the low-carbon ATR ammonia production facility, eliminating the need for the Blue Point joint venture to construct an ASU. As a result, the total projected cost of the low-carbon ATR ammonia production facility was reduced from approximately $4.0 billion to $3.7 billion.

In addition, we will invest approximately $550 million to build scalable infrastructure at our Blue Point complex to supply the ammonia production facility with services, including product storage and vessel loading. We will own and operate this infrastructure, and the Blue Point joint venture will compensate us for these services.

The low-carbon ammonia production facility is designed with an annual nameplate capacity of approximately 1.4 million metric tons (approximately 1.5 million tons) and is expected to capture greater than 95% of the CO2 generated from its production of ammonia. The facility is expected to capture, compress and dehydrate approximately 2.3 million metric tons of CO2 annually. Pursuant to a long-term offtake agreement, a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation would then transport the CO2 and permanently sequester it in a Class VI well at its Pelican Sequestration Hub in Louisiana, which is currently under development. The ammonia production facility is expected to qualify for tax credits under Section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides a tax credit per metric ton of CO2 captured and disposed of in secure geologic storage.

We determined that the Blue Point joint venture is a VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary. As a result, we consolidate this VIE in our consolidated financial statements, with the combined 60% equity interest owned by JERA and Mitsui recorded as noncontrolling interest. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Blue Point Joint Venture," below, and Note 12—Variable Interest Entity, for additional information on the Blue Point joint venture.

*Low-carbon ammonia demand*

In addition to discussions with existing and potential customers who have interest in using low-carbon ammonia for traditional applications, we are engaged in discussions regarding the supply of low-carbon ammonia for new applications. We are evaluating and are in various stages of discussions with other companies for long-term offtake and/or potential joint investments related to new and traditional applications for low-carbon ammonia. These discussions continue to advance as we gain greater clarity regarding demand for low-carbon ammonia, including associated carbon intensity requirements, government incentives and regulatory developments.

**Market Conditions and Current Developments**

***Government Policies***

On March 4, 2025, U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports went into effect and were applicable to the portion of our products manufactured in Canada that are either shipped to customers with U.S. destinations or shipped to one of our U.S. terminals. However, on March 6, 2025, an executive order was issued that excluded from these tariffs any products that enter the United States duty-free as a good of Canada pursuant to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). As a result, the U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports are currently not applicable to our Canadian production and the cost of the tariffs for the three-day period from March 4, 2025 to March 6, 2025 were not significant to our consolidated results. Subsequent changes to tariffs on imports from Canada, including those announced on July 31, 2025, have maintained duty-free treatment for USMCA-compliant products and therefore U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports continue to not be applicable to our Canadian production.

On March 12, 2025, the Trump administration reimposed section 232 tariffs on U.S. imports of steel and aluminum products from countries that had negotiated exemptions from those U.S. tariffs (originally imposed in 2018) and applied tariffs to U.S. imports of specified steel and aluminum derivative products from all countries. Effective June 4, 2025, these tariffs were increased to 50%.

On April 2, 2025, additional U.S. tariffs were announced by the Trump administration, consisting of (1) a ten percent tariff on nearly all imports into the United States with certain country (including Canada, Mexico, and Russia) and product exceptions and (2) higher tariffs on more than 50 countries. In accordance with this order, the ten percent tariffs were imposed on April 5, 2025. The higher tariffs on more than 50 countries were imposed on April 9, 2025, and were subsequently paused and then further delayed to August 1, 2025.

On July 31, 2025, the Trump administration issued an executive order that made several changes to the tariffs imposed in prior executive orders. These changes, effective August 7, 2025, include: (1) increasing tariffs to 15% on certain imports from the European Union; (2) increasing tariffs to 19% or 20% on imports from several Asian countries, including Thailand and Vietnam; and (3) increasing tariffs on many countries that had not negotiated a trade deal with the United States, including 30% tariffs on imports from Algeria and 15% tariffs on imports from Trinidad. The Trump administration also increased tariffs to 50% on imports from Brazil. Additional U.S. tariffs on imports from China have fluctuated from 10% effective February 5, 2025, to up to 145% or more effective April 10, 2025, back to 30% or more effective May 14, 2025 through August 12, 2025, as negotiations continue.

Negotiations between the United States and several countries are ongoing that may change the magnitude, the timing or other aspects of all of these tariffs. In addition, these tariffs have been the subject of litigation, which is ongoing, and may result in the elimination of, or other changes to, these tariffs.

Any of these tariffs or other tariffs and changes to U.S. trading policies may be reinstituted, paused, removed or changed at any time and may be done unpredictably and without notice. Retaliatory tariffs or other imposition of taxes and duties on U.S. exports to trading partners may also be significant and unpredictable.

Any imposed tariffs or the prospect of any retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports, changes in U.S. trade policy or changes in other countries' trade policies with the United States has and may continue to lead to uncertainty in the global marketplace, impact the supply and demand balance in many regions, and increase the cost of capital equipment and other supplies, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

***U.S. Tax Legislation***

On July 4, 2025, H.R.1 - One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the Act) was enacted into law. The Act makes permanent certain elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, and modifies several international tax provisions, including the foreign-derived intangible income deduction. The Act also includes changes to clean energy tax credits, including the 45Q tax credit for carbon sequestration. We are currently evaluating the impact of the Act, and the results of such

evaluations will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements beginning with the three months ending September 30, 2025.

***Nitrogen Selling Prices***

Our nitrogen products are globally traded commodities with selling prices that fluctuate in response to global market conditions, changes in supply and demand, and other cost factors including domestic and local conditions. Intense global competition—reflected in import volumes and prices—strongly influences delivered prices for nitrogen fertilizers. In general, the prevailing global prices for nitrogen products must be at a level to incent the high-cost marginal producer to produce products at a breakeven price or above, or else they would cease production and leave a portion of global demand unsatisfied.

In the second quarter of 2025, the average selling price for our products was $376 per ton, or 17% higher, compared to $322 per ton in the second quarter of 2024. This resulted in an increase in net sales of approximately $270 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024. Average selling prices for all of our major products were higher in the second quarter of 2025 than in the second quarter of 2024 as higher global energy costs and supply disruptions from unexpected production outages in Egypt, Iran and Russia, raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand, including continued strong demand in India and the Northern Hemisphere. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, the average selling price for our products was $354 per ton, or 9% higher compared to $324 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2024. This resulted in an increase in net sales of approximately $287 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

***Nitrogen Sales Volume***

Sales volume was 5.0 million tons in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 4.9 million tons in the second quarter of 2024. Higher sales volume resulted in an increase in net sales of approximately $48 million. The increase in sales volume was due primarily to higher supply availability resulting from higher beginning inventory entering the second quarter of 2025. Sales volume in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 10.0 million tons compared to 9.4 million tons in the six months ended June 30, 2024. This resulted in an increase in net sales of approximately $224 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to the higher supply availability as a result of increased production in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, which was adversely impacted by production outages from a winter storm in the first quarter of 2024.

***Natural Gas***

Natural gas is the principal raw material used to produce our nitrogen products. Natural gas is both a chemical feedstock and a fuel used to produce nitrogen products. Natural gas is a significant cost component of our manufactured nitrogen products, representing approximately 36% and 28% of our production costs in the first six months of 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Most of our manufacturing facilities are located in the United States and Canada. As a result, the price of natural gas in North America, which has historically been volatile, directly impacts a substantial portion of our operating expenses.

In the first quarter of 2025, colder-than-normal temperatures increased the demand for heating across North America, driving natural gas prices higher compared to the first quarter of 2024. Additional demand arose from liquefaction facilities in the United States running near maximum levels through the first quarter of 2025, driven by elevated global price spreads. In addition, the newly commissioned Plaquemines liquefaction facility in Louisiana increased production, adding approximately 12% to total U.S. liquefied natural gas export volumes. Due to the low natural gas price environment throughout 2024, natural gas producers were reluctant to increase supply to match the elevated demand, resulting in higher natural gas prices through the first quarter of 2025.

During the second quarter of 2025, natural gas supply increased as higher prices throughout the first quarter of 2025 gave producers an incentive to increase production. Colder-than-normal temperatures raised demand for heating but lowered power generation demand for air conditioning, holding prices between $3.00 and $4.00 per MMBtu. The tighter supply and demand balance kept average prices in the second quarter of 2025 more than $1.00 per MMBtu higher than the second quarter of 2024. U.S. liquefaction facilities continued to run at full rates during the second quarter of 2025, taking advantage of global price economics. Weekly storage injections consistently tracked above historical averages, alleviating concerns for below average levels to end the summer injection season.

The following table presents the average daily market price of natural gas at the Henry Hub, the most heavily-traded natural gas pricing point in North America, and our cost of natural gas used for production, which includes the impact of realized natural gas derivatives:

___________________________________________________________________________

<sup>(1)</sup> Includes the cost of natural gas used for production and related transportation that is included in cost of sales during the period under the first-in, first-out inventory cost method.

In the second quarter of 2025, our cost of natural gas used for production, which includes the impact of realized natural gas derivatives, increased 77% to $3.36 per MMBtu from $1.90 per MMBtu in the second quarter of 2024. This increase in natural gas costs resulted in a decrease in gross margin of $136 million compared to the second quarter of 2024. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, our cost of natural gas used for production, which includes the impact of realized natural gas derivatives, increased 39% to $3.52 per MMBtu from $2.53 per MMBtu in the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase in natural gas costs resulted in a decrease in gross margin of $176 million.

**Financial Executive Summary**

We reported net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $386 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $420 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease in net earnings of $34 million, or 8%. The decrease in net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily reflects the gains on sales of emission credits in the second quarter of 2024 that did not recur in the second quarter of 2025, an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, a higher income tax provision, and higher net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. These factors that reduced net earnings attributable to common stockholders were partially offset by an increase in gross margin of $76 million.

Gross margin increased by $76 million, or 11%, to $755 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $679 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to a 17% increase in average selling prices to $376 per ton in the second quarter of 2025 from $322 per ton in the second quarter of 2024, which increased gross margin by $270 million, partially offset by higher natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, which decreased gross margin by $136 million, and higher costs associated with maintenance activity in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Diluted net earnings per share attributable to common stockholders increased $0.07 per share, or 3%, to $2.37 per share in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $2.30 per share in the second quarter of 2024, due to lower weighted-average common shares outstanding as a result of shares repurchased under our share repurchase program, partially offset by lower net earnings. Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 163.1 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 11% compared to diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding of 182.8 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

**Items Affecting Comparability of Results**

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we reported net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $386 million and $420 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we reported net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $698 million and $614 million, respectively. In addition to the impact of market conditions discussed above, certain items affected the comparability of our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The following table and related discussion outline these items and their impact on the comparability of our financial results for these periods. The descriptions of items below that refer to amounts in the table refer to the pre-tax amounts unless otherwise noted.

*Unrealized net mark-to-market (gain) loss on natural gas derivatives*

Natural gas is the largest and most volatile single component of the manufacturing cost for our nitrogen-based products. At certain times, we have managed the risk of changes in natural gas prices through the use of derivative financial instruments. The derivatives that we use for this purpose are primarily natural gas fixed price swaps, basis swaps and options. We use natural gas derivatives as an economic hedge of natural gas price risk, but without the application of hedge accounting. This can result in volatility in reported earnings due to the unrealized mark-to-market adjustments that occur from changes in the value of the derivatives, which are reflected in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of operations. In the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized an unrealized net mark-to-market gain on natural gas derivatives of $1 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized an unrealized net mark-to-market loss on natural gas derivatives of $2 million compared to a gain of $34 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

*(Gain) loss on foreign currency transactions*

In the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized a gain on foreign currency transactions of $3 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized a gain on foreign currency transactions of $1 million compared to a loss of $1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. (Gain) loss on foreign currency transactions consists of foreign currency exchange rate impacts on foreign currency denominated transactions, including cash held in a foreign currency.

*Blue Point joint venture construction costs* 

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Blue Point joint venture incurred costs of approximately $2 million related to the construction of the low-carbon ammonia production facility at our Blue Point complex. See "Overview of CF Holdings—Our Strategy—Blue Point joint venture," above, and Note 12—Variable Interest Entity, for additional information on the Blue Point joint venture.

*Loss on sale of Ince facility*

In the second quarter of 2022, we approved and announced our proposed plan to restructure our U.K. operations, including the planned permanent closure of the Ince facility, which had been idled since September 2021. In the third quarter of 2022, the final restructuring plan was approved, and the facility was subsequently decommissioned. In the first quarter of 2025, we sold our Ince facility and recognized a loss of $23 million, which is reflected in U.K. operations restructuring in our consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025. See Note 6—Property, Plant and Equipment—Net for additional information on the sale of our Ince facility.

*Integration costs* 

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred integration costs of $1 million and $4 million, respectively, related to our December 1, 2023 acquisition of an ammonia production facility located in Waggaman, Louisiana. We did not incur integration costs in 2025.

***Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2024***

*Net Sales*

Our total net sales increased $318 million, or 20%, to $1.89 billion in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $1.57 billion in the second quarter of 2024, due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volume.

Our average selling price was $376 per ton in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $322 per ton in the second quarter of 2024, due to higher average selling prices across all of our segments as higher global energy costs raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand. See "Market Conditions and Current Developments—Nitrogen Selling Prices," above, for additional information about the factors impacting global energy costs. The impact of higher average selling prices was an increase in net sales of approximately $270 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.

Our total sales volume was 5.0 million product tons in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 4.9 million product tons in the second quarter of 2024, as higher sales volume in our UAN, Ammonia and AN segments was partially offset by lower sales volume in our Other and Granular Urea segments. The impact of higher sales volume was an increase in net sales of approximately $48 million.

*Cost of Sales*

Our total cost of sales increased $242 million, or 27%, to $1.14 billion in the second quarter of 2025 from $893 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in our cost of sales primarily reflects higher costs for natural gas, including the impact of realized derivatives, which increased cost of sales by $136 million, higher costs in the second quarter of 2025 associated with maintenance activity and an increase in sales volume.

Cost of sales averaged $226 per ton in the second quarter of 2025, a 23% increase compared to $183 per ton in the second quarter of 2024. Our cost of natural gas, including the impact of realized derivatives, increased $1.46 per MMBtu, or 77%, to $3.36 per MMBtu in the second quarter of 2025 from $1.90 per MMBtu in the second quarter of 2024. See "Market Conditions and Current Developments—Natural Gas," above, for additional information about the factors impacting natural gas prices.

*Selling, General and Administrative Expenses*

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $25 million to $101 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $76 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was due primarily to higher incentive compensation due to strong operating performance and higher costs related to certain corporate initiatives.

*Integration Costs*

In the second quarter of 2024, we incurred integration costs of $1 million related to our December 1, 2023 acquisition of an ammonia production facility located in Waggaman, Louisiana. We did not incur integration costs in 2025.

*Other Operating—Net* 

Other operating—net was $8 million of expense in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $39 million of income in the second quarter of 2024. The $8 million of expense in the second quarter of 2025 consists primarily of costs related to front-end engineering and design (FEED) studies for our clean energy initiatives. The $39 million of income in the second quarter of 2024 consists primarily of gains on sales of emission credits, partially offset by costs related to FEED studies for our clean energy initiatives. See "Our Strategy," above, for additional information related to our clean energy initiatives.

*Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Operating Affiliate*

Equity in earnings (losses) of operating affiliate was $2 million of earnings in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a $3 million loss in the second quarter of 2024. Higher equity in earnings of operating affiliate in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024 reflects an increase in the operating results of PLNL due primarily to higher ammonia

selling prices and a plant turnaround at the PLNL facility that occurred in the second quarter of 2024 that did not recur in 2025, partially offset by higher natural gas costs.

*Interest Expense* 

Interest expense was $36 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $37 million in the second quarter of 2024.

*Interest Income*

Interest income was $17 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $28 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease of $11 million was due primarily to a decrease in short-term investments.

*Income Tax Provision* 

For the second quarter of 2025, we recorded an income tax provision of $143 million on pre-tax income of $635 million, or an effective tax rate of 22.4%, compared to an income tax provision of $123 million on pre-tax income of $629 million, or an effective tax rate of 19.5%, for the second quarter of 2024. Our income tax provision for the second quarter of 2025 includes $21 million of income tax expense related to an increase in our unrecognized tax benefits resulting from ongoing tax audits, which increased our effective tax rate by 3.4 percentage points.

Our effective tax rate is impacted by earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests as our consolidated income tax provision does not include a tax provision on the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 of 22.4%, which is based on pre-tax income of $635 million, including $106 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests, would be 4.5 percentage points higher, or 26.9%, if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests of $106 million. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 of 19.5%, which is based on pre-tax income of $629 million, including $86 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, would be 3.1 percentage points higher, or 22.6%, if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $86 million.

*Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests* 

Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $20 million to $106 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $86 million in the second quarter of 2024 due primarily to higher earnings of CFN driven by higher average selling prices, partially offset by higher natural gas costs. In addition, the increase also reflects the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests in the Blue Point joint venture, which was formed in the second quarter of 2025. See "Overview of CF Holdings—Our Strategy—Blue Point joint venture," above, Note 12—Variable Interest Entity and Note 13—Noncontrolling Interests for additional information on the Blue Point joint venture.

*Diluted Net Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders* 

Diluted net earnings per share attributable to common stockholders increased $0.07, or 3%, to $2.37 per share in the second quarter of 2025 from $2.30 per share in the second quarter of 2024. This increase was due primarily to lower weighted-average common shares outstanding as a result of common shares repurchased under our share repurchase program, partially offset by lower net earnings. Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding declined 11% from 182.8 million shares for the second quarter of 2024 to 163.1 million shares for the second quarter of 2025.

***Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024***

*Net Sales*

Our total net sales increased $511 million, or 17%, to $3.55 billion in the first six months of 2025 compared to $3.04 billion in the first six months of 2024, due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volume.

Our average selling price was $354 per ton in the first six months of 2025 compared to $324 per ton in the first six months of 2024, due to higher average selling prices across all of our segments as higher global energy costs raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand. See "Market Conditions and Current Developments—Nitrogen Selling Prices," above, for additional information about the factors impacting global energy costs. The impact of higher average selling prices was an increase in net sales of approximately $287 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Our total sales volume was 10.0 million product tons in the first six months of 2025 compared to 9.4 million product tons in the first six months of 2024, as higher sales volume in our UAN and Ammonia segments was partially offset by lower sales

**CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.**

volume in our Other, Granular Urea and AN segments. The impact of higher sales volume was an increase in net sales of approximately $224 million.

*Cost of Sales*

Our total cost of sales increased $272 million, or 14%, to $2.23 billion in the first six months of 2025 from $1.95 billion in the first six months of 2024. The increase in our cost of sales primarily reflects higher costs for natural gas, including the impact of realized derivatives, which increased cost of sales by $176 million, and an increase in sales volume, which increased cost of sales by $87 million. These factors that increased cost of sales in the first six months of 2025 were partially offset by lower costs associated with maintenance activity in the first six months of 2025 compared to the first six months of 2024, due in part to a winter storm in the first quarter of 2024 that produced extremely cold temperatures that impacted our operations. In the first six months of 2024, we incurred additional maintenance costs and lost production, including as a result of the adverse weather in the first quarter of 2024.

Cost of sales also includes the impact of a $2 million unrealized net mark-to-market loss on natural gas derivatives in the first six months of 2025 compared to a $34 million gain in the first six months of 2024.

Cost of sales averaged $222 per ton in the first six months of 2025, a 7% increase compared to $208 per ton in the first six months of 2024. Our cost of natural gas, including the impact of realized derivatives, increased $0.99 per MMBtu, or 39%, to $3.52 per MMBtu in the first six months of 2025 from $2.53 per MMBtu in the first six months of 2024. See "Market Conditions and Current Developments—Natural Gas," above, for additional information about the factors impacting natural gas prices.

*Selling, General and Administrative Expenses*

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $21 million to $185 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $164 million in the first six months of 2024. The increase was due primarily to higher costs related to certain corporate initiatives, including our clean energy initiatives, and higher incentive compensation due to strong operating performance.

*U.K. Operations Restructuring*

In the second quarter of 2022, we approved and announced our proposed plan to restructure our U.K. operations, including the planned permanent closure of the Ince facility, which had been idled since September 2021. In the third quarter of 2022, the final restructuring plan was approved, and the facility was subsequently decommissioned. In the first quarter of 2025, we sold our Ince facility and recognized a loss of $23 million. See Note 6—Property, Plant and Equipment—Net for additional information on the sale of our Ince facility.

*Integration Costs*

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred integration costs of $4 million related to our December 1, 2023 acquisition of an ammonia production facility located in Waggaman, Louisiana. We did not incur integration costs in 2025.

*Other Operating—Net* 

Other operating—net was $22 million of expense in the first six months of 2025 compared to $22 million of income in the first six months of 2024. The $22 million of expense in the first six months of 2025 consists primarily of costs related to FEED studies for our clean energy initiatives. The $22 million of income in the six months ended June 30, 2024 consists primarily of gains on sales of emission credits, partially offset by costs related to FEED studies for our clean energy initiatives. See "Our Strategy," above, for additional information related to our clean energy initiatives.

*Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Operating Affiliate*

Equity in earnings (losses) of operating affiliate was $6 million of earnings in the first six months of 2025 compared to a $1 million loss in the first six months of 2024. Equity in earnings of operating affiliate in the first six months of 2025 reflects an increase in the operating results of PLNL due primarily to higher ammonia selling prices and a plant turnaround at the PLNL facility that occurred in the second quarter of 2024 that did not recur in 2025, partially offset by higher natural gas costs.

*Interest Expense* 

Interest expense was $73 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $74 million in the first six months of 2024.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#iabcb0d0c8473422d846bdc5d8f2edb92_7)</u>

**CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.**

*Interest Income*

Interest income was $34 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $58 million in the first six months of 2024. The decrease of $24 million was due primarily to a decrease in short-term investments.

*Income Tax Provision* 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded an income tax provision of $229 million on pre-tax income of $1.07 billion, or an effective tax rate of 21.3%, compared to an income tax provision of $185 million on pre-tax income of $929 million, or an effective tax rate of 19.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2025 includes $21 million of income tax expense related to an increase in our unrecognized tax benefits resulting from ongoing tax audits, which increased our effective tax rate by 2.0 percentage points.

Our effective tax rate is impacted by earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests as our consolidated income tax provision does not include a tax provision on the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of 21.3%, which is based on pre-tax income of $1.07 billion, including $145 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests, would be 3.4 percentage points higher, or 24.7%, if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests of $145 million. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of 19.9%, which is based on pre-tax income of $929 million, including $130 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, would be 3.2 percentage points higher, or 23.1%, if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $130 million.

*Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests* 

Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $15 million to $145 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $130 million in the first six months of 2024 due primarily to higher earnings of CFN driven by higher average selling prices and the impact of higher sales volume, partially offset by higher natural gas costs. In addition, the increase also reflects the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests in the Blue Point joint venture, which was formed in the second quarter of 2025. See "Overview of CF Holdings—Our Strategy—Blue Point joint venture," above, Note 12—Variable Interest Entity and Note 13—Noncontrolling Interests for additional information on the Blue Point joint venture.

*Diluted Net Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders* 

Diluted net earnings per share attributable to common stockholders increased $0.89, or 27%, to $4.20 per share in the first six months of 2025 from $3.31 per share in the first six months of 2024. This increase was due to higher net earnings driven by an increase in gross margin and lower weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding declined 11% from 185.5 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 165.9 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2025, due primarily to repurchases of common shares under our share repurchase program.

N/M—Not Meaningful

<sup>(1)</sup> Ammonia represents 82% nitrogen content. Nutrient tons represent the tons of nitrogen within the product tons.

*Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2024* 

*Net Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales in our Ammonia segment increased by $82 million, or 20%, to $491 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $409 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in our net sales reflects an 8% increase in average selling prices and an 11% increase in sales volume. Average selling prices increased to $452 per ton in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $418 per ton in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in our average selling price was due primarily to higher global energy costs that raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand.

Ammonia sales volume in the second quarter of 2025 was 1.1 million tons, an increase of 11% compared to 1.0 million tons in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in sales volume was due primarily to favorable weather in the second quarter of 2025, which resulted in higher spring ammonia applications, supported by higher supply availability driven by higher beginning inventory entering the second quarter of 2025.

*Cost of Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cost of sales in our Ammonia segment averaged $327 per ton in the second quarter of 2025, a 22% increase from $268 per ton in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was due primarily to higher realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, and higher costs associated with maintenance activity in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.

*Gross Margin*.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross margin in our Ammonia segment decreased by $11 million, or 7%, to $136 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $147 million in the second quarter of 2024, and our gross margin percentage was 27.7% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 35.9% in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to an increase in realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, which reduced gross margin by $47 million and a net increase in manufacturing, maintenance and other costs, which decreased gross margin by $40 million. These factors that decreased gross margin were partially offset by an 8% increase in average selling prices, which increased gross margin by $52 million and an 11% increase in sales volume, which increased gross margin by $24 million.

*Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024*

*Net Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales in our Ammonia segment increased by $200 million, or 25%, to $1.01 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $811 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in our net sales reflects an 18% increase in sales volume and a 6% increase in average selling prices. Average selling prices increased to $453 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $428 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as higher global energy costs, due in part to gas curtailments and higher gas costs in Europe, raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand.

Ammonia sales volume in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 2.2 million tons, an increase of 18% compared to 1.9 million tons in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in sales volume was due primarily to higher 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.

*Cost of Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cost of sales in our Ammonia segment averaged $309 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2025, a 2% decrease from $316 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due primarily to lower costs for maintenance activity in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, which included higher costs for maintenance, repairs and certain unabsorbed fixed costs as a result of plant downtime, including the impact of the adverse weather in the first quarter of 2024 as discussed above, partially offset by higher realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives.

*Gross Margin*.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross margin in our Ammonia segment increased by $110 million, or 52%, to $322 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $212 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, and our gross margin percentage was 31.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 26.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to an 18% increase in sales volume, which increased gross margin by $83 million, a 6% increase in average selling prices, which increased gross margin by $64 million, and a net decrease in manufacturing, maintenance and other costs, which increased gross margin by $26 million. These factors that increased gross margin were partially offset by the impact of an increase in realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, which reduced gross margin by $50 million. Gross margin also includes the impact of a $1 million unrealized net mark-to-market loss on natural gas derivatives in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a $12 million gain in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

***Granular Urea Segment***

Our Granular Urea segment produces granular urea, which contains 46% nitrogen. Produced from ammonia and carbon dioxide, it has the highest nitrogen content of any of our solid nitrogen fertilizers. Granular urea is produced at our Donaldsonville, Port Neal and Medicine Hat complexes.

*Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2024* 

*Net Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales in our Granular Urea segment increased $90 million, or 20%, to $547 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $457 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in our net sales reflects a 26% increase in average selling prices, partially offset by a 5% decrease in sales volume. Average selling prices increased to $460 per ton in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $365 per ton in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in our average selling price was due primarily to higher global energy costs and natural gas availability-related supply disruptions in Egypt and Iran, which raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand, including continued strong demand in India and the Northern Hemisphere. The decrease in sales volume was due primarily to decreased supply availability as a result of lower production in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.

*Cost of Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cost of sales in our Granular Urea segment averaged $225 per ton in the second quarter of 2025, a 22% increase from $184 per ton in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was due primarily to higher realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, and higher costs associated with maintenance activity in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.

*Gross Margin*.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross margin in our Granular Urea segment increased by $52 million, or 23%, to $279 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $227 million in the second quarter of 2024, and our gross margin percentage was 51.0% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 49.7% in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to a 26% increase in average selling prices, which increased gross margin by $108 million. This increase in gross margin was partially offset by an increase in realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, which reduced gross margin by $34 million, a net increase in manufacturing, maintenance and other costs, which decreased gross margin by $16 million, and a 5% decrease in sales volume, which decreased gross margin by $6 million.

*Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024*

*Net Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales in our Granular Urea segment increased $122 million, or 14%, to $986 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $864 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 due primarily to a 15% increase in average selling prices, partially offset by a 1% decrease in sales volume. Average selling prices increased to $426 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $369 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as higher global energy costs and natural gas availability-related supply disruptions in Egypt and Iran, which raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand, including continued strong demand in India and the Northern Hemisphere.

*Cost of Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cost of sales in our Granular Urea segment averaged $231 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2025, a 12% increase from $206 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due primarily to higher realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives.

*Gross Margin*.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross margin in our Granular Urea segment increased by $71 million, or 19%, to $452 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $381 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, and our gross margin percentage was 45.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 44.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to a 15% increase in average selling prices, which increased gross margin by $127 million, and a net decrease in manufacturing, maintenance and other costs, which increased gross margin by $4 million. These factors that increased gross margin were partially offset by an increase in realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, which reduced gross margin by $50 million, and a 1% decrease in sales volume, which decreased gross margin by $1 million. Gross margin also includes the impact of a $9 million unrealized net mark-to-market gain on natural gas derivatives in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

*Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2024* 

*Net Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales in our UAN segment increased $135 million, or 28%, to $610 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $475 million in the second quarter of 2024 due primarily to an 18% increase in average selling prices and a 9% increase in sales volume. Average selling prices increased to $321 per ton in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $272 per ton in the second quarter of 2024 due primarily to higher global energy costs, which raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand. Sales volume was higher due primarily to inventory drawdown to meet strong domestic and international demand.

*Cost of Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cost of sales in our UAN segment averaged $179 per ton in the second quarter of 2025, a 21% increase from $148 per ton in second quarter of 2024, due primarily to higher realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, and higher costs associated with maintenance activity in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.

*Gross Margin*.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross margin in our UAN segment increased by $54 million, or 25%, to $270 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $216 million in the second quarter of 2024, and our gross margin percentage was 44.3% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 45.5% in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to an 18% increase in average selling prices, which increased gross margin by $86 million, and a 9% increase in sales volume, which increased gross margin by $32 million. These factors that increased gross margin were partially offset by an increase in realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, which reduced gross margin by $43 million, and a net increase in manufacturing, maintenance and other costs, which decreased gross margin by $21 million.

*Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024*

*Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2024* 

*Net Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales in our AN segment increased $19 million, or 19%, to $117 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $98 million in the second quarter of 2024 due to an 8% increase in average selling prices and an 11% increase in sales volume. Average selling prices increased to $310 per ton in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $288 per ton in the second quarter of 2024 as higher global energy costs raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand. Sales volume was higher due primarily to higher beginning inventory entering the second quarter of 2025.

*Cost of Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cost of sales in our AN segment averaged $244 per ton in the second quarter of 2025, an 11% increase from $220 per ton in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was due primarily to higher realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives.

*Gross Margin*.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross margin in our AN segment increased $2 million, or 9%, to $25 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $23 million in the second quarter of 2024, and our gross margin percentage was 21.4% in the second quarter of 2025

compared to 23.5% in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to an 8% increase in average selling prices, which increased gross margin by $11 million, and an 11% increase in sales volume, which increased gross margin by $5 million. These factors that increased gross margin were partially offset by an increase in realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, which reduced gross margin by $7 million, and a net increase in manufacturing, maintenance and other costs, which decreased gross margin by $7 million.

*Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024*

*Net Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales in our AN segment increased $6 million, or 3%, to $218 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $212 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to a 7% increase in average selling prices, partially offset by a 3% decrease in sales volume. Average selling prices increased to $309 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $290 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as higher global energy costs raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand. Sales volume was lower due primarily to lower supply availability due to lower beginning inventory entering 2025 and lower production in the six months ended June 30, 2025.

*Cost of Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cost of sales in our AN segment averaged $251 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2025, a 2% increase from $246 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due primarily to higher realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, partially offset by lower costs for maintenance activity in North America.

*Gross Margin*.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross margin in our AN segment increased $9 million, or 28%, to $41 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $32 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, and our gross margin percentage was 18.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 15.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to a 7% increase in average selling prices, which increased gross margin by $14 million, a net decrease in manufacturing, maintenance and other costs, which increased gross margin by $3 million, and favorable product mix, which increased gross margin by $2 million. These factors that increased gross margin were partially offset by an increase in realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, which reduced gross margin by $9 million. Gross margin also includes the impact of a $1 million unrealized net mark-to-market gain on natural gas derivatives in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

*Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2024*

*Net Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales in our Other segment decreased by $8 million, or 6%, to $125 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $133 million in the second quarter of 2024 due to a 16% decrease in sales volume, partially offset by a 12% increase in average selling prices. The decrease in sales volume primarily reflected lower DEF and nitric acid shipments. Average selling prices increased by 12% as higher global energy costs raised the global market clearing price required to meet global demand.

*Cost of Sales.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cost of sales in our Other segment averaged $171 per ton in the second quarter of 2025, a 41% increase from $121 per ton in the second quarter of 2024, due primarily to higher costs associated with maintenance activity, and higher realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.

*Gross Margin*.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross margin in our Other segment decreased by $21 million, or 32%, to $45 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $66 million in the second quarter of 2024, and our gross margin percentage was 36.0% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 49.6% in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to a net increase in manufacturing, maintenance and other costs, which decreased gross margin by $14 million, a 16% decrease in sales volume, which decreased gross margin by $14 million, and an increase in realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, which decreased gross margin by $5 million. These factors that decreased gross margin were partially offset by a 12% increase in average selling prices, which increased gross margin by $13 million. Gross margin also includes the impact of a $1 million unrealized net mark-to-market gain on natural gas derivatives in the second quarter of 2024.

The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to a 7% decrease in sales volume, which decreased gross margin by $10 million, an increase in realized natural gas costs, including the impact of realized derivatives, which decreased gross margin by $8 million, and a net increase in manufacturing, maintenance and other costs, which decreased gross margin by $3 million. These factors that decreased gross margin were partially offset by a 9% increase in average selling prices, which increased gross margin by $19 million. Gross margin also includes the impact of a $2 million unrealized net mark-to-market gain on natural gas derivatives in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

Our primary uses of cash are generally for operating costs, working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, investments, taxes, share repurchases, dividends, and our clean energy initiatives. Our working capital requirements are affected by several factors, including demand for our products, selling prices, raw material costs, freight costs and seasonal factors inherent in the business. We may also utilize our cash to fund acquisitions. In addition, we may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases, in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Generally, our primary source of cash is cash from operations, which includes cash generated by customer advances. We may also from time to time access the capital markets or engage in borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. At June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all applicable covenant requirements under our revolving credit agreement and senior notes, and unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement was $750 million.

As of June 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $1.69 billion, an increase of $72 million from $1.61 billion at December 31, 2024, and consisted of the following:

---

***Blue Point Joint Venture***

On April 8, 2025, we announced that we formed a joint venture, Blue Point Number One, LLC, with JERA and Mitsui for the construction, production and offtake of low-carbon ammonia. We hold 40% ownership, JERA holds 35% ownership, and Mitsui holds 25% ownership in the Blue Point joint venture. Under the terms of the Blue Point joint venture's limited liability company agreement, JERA has a conditional option to reduce its ownership percentage that expires on December 31, 2025. If the specified condition is met, JERA can reduce its ownership below 35% but not lower than 20%. We would have the right and obligation to increase our ownership by the same amount that JERA reduces its ownership.

At our Blue Point complex in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, the Blue Point joint venture is expected to construct an ATR ammonia production facility with a CO2 dehydration and compression unit to prepare captured CO2 for transportation and sequestration. Engineering, equipment procurement and pre-construction activities at our Blue Point complex began in the second quarter of 2025. Construction of the ammonia production facility is expected to begin in 2026, with low-carbon ammonia production expected to begin in 2029.

We estimate that the cost of the low-carbon ATR ammonia production facility with CCS technologies will be approximately $3.7 billion. We anticipate that approximately one-third of the estimated cost is related to materials that will be imported to the United States, with the majority of imported materials expected to arrive in Louisiana in 2028. Pursuant to periodic capital calls, the Blue Point joint venture members will fund the cost of the facility's engineering, procurement and construction according to their respective ownership percentages. During the second quarter of 2025, we, JERA and Mitsui made initial capital contributions of $157 million, $137 million and $98 million, respectively, to the Blue Point joint venture. We funded $114 million of our contribution with cash and $43 million through a non-cash contribution of a license to use certain intellectual property.

In June 2025, the Blue Point joint venture executed agreements, including a long-term supply agreement, for a subsidiary of Linde plc to design, construct, own, operate and maintain an ASU at our Blue Point complex to supply oxygen and nitrogen to the low-carbon ATR ammonia production facility, eliminating the need for the Blue Point joint venture to construct an ASU. As a result, the total projected cost of the low-carbon ATR ammonia production facility was reduced from approximately $4.0 billion to $3.7 billion.

In addition, we will invest approximately $550 million to build scalable infrastructure at our Blue Point complex to supply the ammonia production facility with services, including product storage and vessel loading. This infrastructure will be constructed with a similar timeline as the ammonia production facility noted above.

See "Overview of CF Holdings—Our Strategy—Blue Point joint venture," above, and Note 12—Variable Interest Entity, for additional information on the Blue Point joint venture.

***Capital Spending***

We make capital expenditures to sustain our asset base, increase our capacity or capabilities, improve plant efficiency, comply with various environmental, health and safety requirements, and invest in our clean energy strategy. Capital expenditures totaled $377 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $182 million in the first six months of 2024. Our capital expenditures for the first six months of 2025 included $90 million related to the Blue Point joint venture.

The Blue Point joint venture is consolidated in our financial statements, including our statements of cash flows. We currently anticipate that our consolidated capital expenditures for the full year 2025 to be in the range of $800 million to $900 million, consisting of approximately $500 million for our existing operations and approximately $300 million to $400 million representing the Blue Point joint venture's planned capital expenditures related to construction of the low-carbon ATR ammonia production facility at our Blue Point complex. Also, we anticipate our 2025 capital spending will include up to $25 million related to our construction of the Blue Point complex scalable infrastructure.

Of the Blue Point joint venture's $300 million to $400 million of planned 2025 capital expenditures, approximately $120 million to $160 million has been, and is expected to be, funded by us, representing our 40% equity interest in the Blue Point joint venture, and approximately $180 million to $240 million has been, and is expected to be, funded by our partners in the joint venture, representing their combined 60% equity interest in the Blue Point joint venture.

Planned capital expenditures are generally subject to change due to delays in regulatory approvals or permitting, unanticipated increases in cost, changes in scope and completion time, engineering and construction change orders, performance of third parties, delays in the receipt of equipment, adverse weather, defects in materials and workmanship, labor or material shortages, impact of tariffs, retaliatory measures or other changes in trade policy, transportation constraints, acceleration or delays in the timing of the work and other unforeseen difficulties. Any of these changes in planned capital

expenditures, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows. See "—Forward-Looking Statements" for additional risks related to our planned capital expenditures.

***Share Repurchase Programs***

Our Board of Directors (the Board) has authorized certain programs to repurchase shares of our common stock. These programs have generally permitted repurchases to be made from time to time in the open market, through privately-negotiated transactions, through block transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs or otherwise. The manner, timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by our management based on the evaluation of market conditions, stock price and other factors.

On November 2, 2022, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $3 billion of CF Holdings common stock (the 2022 Share Repurchase Program), which commenced in the second quarter of 2023 upon completion of our previous share repurchase program and is effective through December 31, 2025. On May 6, 2025, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $2 billion of CF Holdings common stock commencing upon the completion of the 2022 Share Repurchase Program and effective through December 31, 2029. The following table summarizes the share repurchases under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program.

<sup>(1)</sup> As defined in the 2022 Share Repurchase Program, amounts reflect the price paid for the shares of common stock repurchased, excluding commissions paid to brokers and excise taxes.

In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased approximately 8.2 million shares under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program for $636 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased approximately 8.3 million shares under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program for $652 million, of which $14 million was accrued and unpaid as of June 30, 2024.

***Canada Revenue Agency Competent Authority Matter***

In the second half of 2022, as a result of the conclusion of arbitration proceedings and the settlement provisions between the United States and Canadian competent authorities related to tax years 2006 through 2011, we paid additional income taxes and related interest of $124 million and $100 million, respectively, to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration (Alberta TRA). In the third quarter of 2024, we were informed that the CRA granted us discretionary interest relief for certain tax years from 2006 through 2011. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we received interest relief from the CRA consisting of interest refunds of $21 million and related interest of $2 million. In addition, interest relief from the Alberta TRA is estimated to be approximately $16 million, consisting of interest refunds of $15 million and related interest of $1 million, based on current estimates and foreign currency exchange rates as of June 30, 2025. We expect to receive the interest refunds from the Alberta TRA in the second half of 2025.

***Debt***

*Revolving Credit Agreement*

We have a senior unsecured revolving credit agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement), which provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $750 million with a maturity of October 26, 2028 and includes a letter of credit sub-limit of $125 million. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases and other general corporate purposes. CF Industries is the lead borrower, and CF Holdings is the sole guarantor, under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement can be denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros and British pounds. Borrowings in U.S. dollars bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at our option, an applicable adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate or base rate plus, in either case, a specified margin. We are required to pay an undrawn commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement and customary letter of credit fees. The specified margin and the amount of the commitment fee depend on CF Holdings' credit rating at the time. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including one financial covenant.

As of June 30, 2025, we had unused borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Agreement of $750 million and no outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement. In addition, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2024, or during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.

*Letters of Credit Under Bilateral Agreement*

***Forward Sales and Customer Advances***

We offer our customers the opportunity to purchase products from us on a forward basis at prices and on delivery dates we propose. Therefore, our reported fertilizer selling prices and margins may differ from market spot prices and margins available at the time of shipment.

Customer advances, which typically represent a portion of the contract's value, are received shortly after the contract is executed, with any remaining unpaid amount generally being collected by the time control transfers to the customer, thereby reducing or eliminating the accounts receivable related to such sales. Any cash payments received in advance from customers in connection with forward sales contracts are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets as a current liability until control transfers and revenue is recognized. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $32 million and $118 million, respectively, in customer advances on our consolidated balance sheets.

While customer advances are generally a significant source of liquidity, the level of forward sales contracts is affected by many factors, including current market conditions, our customers' outlook of future market fundamentals and seasonality. During periods of declining prices, customers tend to delay purchasing fertilizer in anticipation that prices in the future will be lower than the current prices. If the level of sales under our forward sales programs were to decrease in the future, our cash received from customer advances would likely decrease and our accounts receivable balances would likely increase. Additionally, borrowing under the Revolving Credit Agreement could become necessary. Due to the volatility inherent in our business and changing customer expectations, we cannot estimate the amount of future forward sales activity.

Under our forward sales programs, a customer may delay delivery of an order due to weather conditions or other factors. These delays generally subject the customer to potential charges for storage or may be grounds for termination of the contract by us. Such a delay in scheduled shipment or termination of a forward sales contract due to a customer's inability or unwillingness to perform may negatively impact our reported sales.

***Derivative Financial Instruments***

We use derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to changes in prices for natural gas that will be purchased in the future. Natural gas is the largest and most volatile component of our manufacturing cost for nitrogen-based products. From time to time, we may also use derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Volatility in reported quarterly earnings can result from the unrealized mark-to-market adjustments in the value of the derivatives. As of June 30, 2025, our open natural gas derivative contracts consisted of natural gas basis swaps for 13.6 million MMBtus of natural gas. As of December 31, 2024, our open natural gas derivative contracts consisted of natural gas fixed price swaps and basis swaps for 16.0 million MMBtus of natural gas.

***Defined Benefit Pension Plans***

We did not contribute any amounts to our pension plans in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Over the remainder of 2025, we expect to contribute approximately $7 million to our pension plans. In 2026 and 2027, we expect to contribute approximately $15 million and $4 million, respectively, to our U.K. pension plans, as currently agreed with the plans' trustees.

***Distributions to Noncontrolling Interest in CFN***

On January 31, 2025, CFN distributed $129 million to CHS for the distribution period ended December 31, 2024. On July 31, 2025, the CFN Board of Managers approved semi-annual distribution payments for the distribution period ended June 30, 2025 in accordance with CFN's limited liability company agreement, and CFN distributed $175 million to CHS for this distribution period.

***Cash Flows***

Net cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of 2025 was $1.15 billion, an increase of $229 million, compared to $920 million in the first six months of 2024. The increase in cash flow from operations was due primarily to an increase in gross margin, driven by higher sales volume and increased average selling prices, partially offset by higher natural gas costs.

Net cash used in investing activities was $368 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $134 million in the first six months of 2024. Capital expenditures totaled $377 million during the first six months of 2025 compared to $182 million in the first six months of 2024. Our capital expenditures for the first six months of 2025 included $90 million related to the Blue Point joint venture.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#iabcb0d0c8473422d846bdc5d8f2edb92_7)</u>

**CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.**

Net cash used in financing activities was $733 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $998 million in the first six months of 2024. The decrease was due primarily to contributions from noncontrolling interests of $235 million in the first six months of 2025 and a decrease in dividends paid on common stock due to lower shares outstanding as a result of common shares repurchased under our share repurchase program. In the first six months of 2025, dividends paid on common stock was $167 million compared to $188 million in the first six months of 2024.

**Critical Accounting Estimates** 

During the first six months of 2025, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
