NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     Background and Basis of Presentation

        We are one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer products in the world. Our operations are organized into two business segments—the nitrogen segment and the phosphate segment. Our principal products in the nitrogen segment are ammonia, granular urea, urea ammonium nitrate solution (UAN) and ammonium nitrate (AN). Our other nitrogen products include urea liquor, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and aqua ammonia. Our principal products in the phosphate segment are diammonium phosphate (DAP) and monoammonium phosphate (MAP).

        Our core market and distribution facilities are concentrated in the midwestern United States and other major agricultural areas of the U.S. and Canada. We also export nitrogen fertilizer products from our Donaldsonville, Louisiana manufacturing facilities and phosphate fertilizer products from our Florida phosphate operations. In addition, we hold joint venture investments in production facilities in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and the United Kingdom and a fertilizer trading company near Zurich, Switzerland.

        The principal customers for both our nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers are cooperatives and independent fertilizer distributors.

        In April 2010, we acquired Terra Industries Inc. (Terra), a leading North American producer and marketer of nitrogen fertilizer products (See Note 4—Terra Acquisition). Accordingly, the results of Terra are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since April 2010.

        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, 2010, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

        These statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2011.

        The preparation of the unaudited interim financial statements requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and certain financial statement disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include net realizable value of inventories, the timing and ultimate settlement costs of asset retirement obligations, environmental remediation liabilities, environmental and litigation contingencies, the cost of sales incentives, useful lives of property and identifiable intangible assets, the evaluation of impairments of property, investments, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, income tax and valuation reserves, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, the measurement of the fair values of investments for which markets are not active, assumptions used in the determination of the funded status and annual expense of pension and postretirement employee benefit plans and the volatility and expected lives for stock compensation instruments granted to employees.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        For a complete discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies, refer to our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year-ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2011.

3.     New Accounting Standards

        Following are summaries of accounting pronouncements that either were adopted recently or may become applicable to our consolidated financial statements. It should be noted that the accounting standards references provided below reflect the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), and related Accounting Standards Updates (ASU).

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

        In January 2010, the FASB issued a standard pertaining to fair value disclosures (ASU No. 2010-06) that requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, to describe the reasons for the transfers, and to disclose certain additional information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements. This standard also requires an entity to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 items. The standard became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the Level 3 disclosure of activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. We adopted the level 3 disclosure requirements of this standard as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In July 2010, the FASB issued a standard to modify the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its receivables and the related allowance for credit losses (ASU No. 2010-20). The standard requires an entity to provide greater information about the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity's portfolio of financing receivables, how the risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. As a result, both new and previous disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment or class based on how a company develops its allowance for credit losses and how it manages its credit exposure. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2010, the FASB issued a standard that pertains to business combinations (ASU No. 2010-29) that requires a public entity that presents comparative financial statements to disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurs during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. Additionally, the standard expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. We adopted this standard as of December 31, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

7

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

        In April 2010, the FASB issued a standard that pertains to stock compensation (ASU No. 2010-13) which clarifies that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Pronouncements

        In May 2011, the FASB issued a standard that is intended to improve comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards (ASU No. 2011-04). This standard clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements including (1) the application of the highest and best use valuation premise, (2) the methodology to measure the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's stockholders' equity, (3) disclosure requirements for quantitative information on Level 3 fair value measurements and (4) guidance on measuring the fair value of financial instruments managed within a portfolio. In addition, the standard requires additional disclosures of the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs for Level 3 securities. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2011, the FASB issued a standard that pertains to the presentation of comprehensive income (ASU No. 2011-05). This standard requires that comprehensive income be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The standard also requires entities to disclose on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net earnings. This standard no longer allows companies to present components of other comprehensive income only in the statement of equity. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In September 2011, the FASB issued a standard to simplify the process for determining goodwill impairment (ASU No. 2011-08). This standard gives an entity the option, as a first step, to assess qualitative factors in determining whether a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test must be performed. If an assessment of qualitative factors leads to a determination that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step test is deemed unnecessary. This standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

4.     Terra Acquisition

        In April of 2010, we completed the acquisition of Terra through the merger of Composite Merger Corporation, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary (Composite), with and into Terra pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 12, 2010 among CF Holdings, Composite and Terra (the Merger Agreement). As a result of the merger, Terra became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of Terra has made the Company a global leader in the nitrogen fertilizer industry, diversified our asset base and increased our geographic reach and operational efficiency, and significantly increased our scale and capital market presence.

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

        Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Terra common stock was converted into the right to receive $37.15 in cash and 0.0953 of a share of CF Holdings common stock pursuant to an exchange offer and second-step merger (the Merger). CF Holdings issued an aggregate of 9.5 million shares of its common stock with a fair value of $882 million and paid an aggregate of $3.2 billion in cash, net of $0.5 billion cash acquired, for 100% of Terra's common stock.

        We funded the cash requirements of the acquisition with cash on hand and with $1.75 billion of borrowings under a senior secured bridge facility and approximately $1.9 billion of borrowings under a senior secured term loan facility that provided for up to $2.0 billion of borrowings. On April 21, 2010, CF Holdings completed a public offering of approximately 12.9 million shares of common stock at $89.00 per share. The proceeds of $1.1 billion, net of underwriting discounts and customary fees, were used to repay a portion of the senior secured bridge facility. On April 23, 2010, CF Industries completed a public offering of senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1.6 billion. Approximately $645.2 million of the net proceeds of the offering were used to repay in full the remaining outstanding borrowings under the senior secured bridge facility. We used the remaining proceeds from the offering to repay approximately $864.2 million of the senior secured term loan facility. In May 2010, we redeemed Terra's 7.75% senior notes due 2019 for $744.5 million and recognized a $17 million loss on the early extinguishment of that debt. See Note 19—Financing Agreements, for further information regarding these financing arrangements.

        The following table summarizes the allocation of the $4.6 billion purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Terra on April 5, 2010. During the measurement period that ended on March 31, 2011, net adjustments of $31.9 million were made to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price recorded in the second quarter of 2010, and the net adjustments, are shown below. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2010 was retrospectively adjusted to reflect these adjustments as required by the accounting guidance for business combinations. No further adjustments have been made to the purchase price allocation since March 31, 2011.

5.     Restructuring and Integration Costs

        During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred $0.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of restructuring and integration costs related to our acquisition of Terra. The restructuring costs relate to employee termination benefits. The integration costs relate to our incremental costs, such as consulting and other professional fees, directly related to integrating Terra.

        Our restructuring and integration costs consist of the following:

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
	(in millions)
Restructuring	$	0.6	$	3.7	$	2.1	$	4.8
Integration		0.2		4.9		2.1		13.1
Total	$	0.8	$	8.6	$	4.2	$	17.9

        In connection with the acquisition of Terra in 2010, our management approved a restructuring plan which involves the consolidation of our corporate headquarters, including the closure of our Sioux City, Iowa offices. The total expected cost of the plan is approximately $10 million, which includes employee termination costs associated with the elimination of approximately 105 positions. As of September 30, 2011, all of those employees had been notified that their positions have been or will be eliminated and we recognized a cumulative total of $9.0 million of related expenses. We expect to record the remaining employee termination costs by the end of 2011 based on the timing of planned terminations.

        The following table summarizes our restructuring activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

7.     Noncontrolling Interests

Canadian Fertilizers Limited (CFL)

        CFL is a variable interest entity that owns a nitrogen fertilizer complex in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada and supplies fertilizer products to CF Industries and Viterra Inc. (Viterra). CF Industries owns 49% of CFL's voting common shares and 66% of CFL's nonvoting preferred shares. Viterra owns 34% of both the voting common stock and non-voting preferred stock of CFL. The remaining 17% of the voting common stock is owned by GROWMARK, Inc. (GROWMARK) and La Coop fédérée. CFL is a variable interest entity that we consolidate in our financial statements. CFL's Medicine Hat complex is the largest nitrogen fertilizer complex in Canada, with two world-scale ammonia plants, a world-scale urea plant and on-site storage facilities for both ammonia and urea.

        CFL's net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $182.5 million and $103.6 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $529.1 million and $323.1 million, respectively. CFL's assets and liabilities at September 30, 2011 were $392.5 million and $344.8 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2010 were $314.0 million and $263.8 million, respectively.

11

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

        CF Industries operates the Medicine Hat facility pursuant to a management agreement and purchases approximately 66% of the facility's ammonia and urea production pursuant to a product purchase agreement. Both the management agreement and the product purchase agreement can be terminated by either CF Industries or CFL upon a twelve-month notice. Viterra has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the remaining 34% of the facility's ammonia and urea production under a similar product purchase agreement. To the extent that Viterra does not purchase its 34% of the facility's production, CF Industries is obligated to purchase any remaining amounts. However, since 1995, Viterra has purchased at least 34% of the facility's production each year.

        Under the product purchase agreements, both CF Industries and Viterra pay the greater of operating cost or market price for purchases. The product purchase agreements also provide that CFL will distribute its net earnings to CF Industries and Viterra annually based on their respective quantities of product purchased from CFL. The distributions to Viterra are reported as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, as we consider these payments to be similar to dividends. While general creditors of CFL do not have direct recourse to the general credit of CF Industries, the product purchase agreement does require CF Industries to advance funds to CFL in the event that CFL is unable to meet its debts as they become due. The amount of each advance would be at least 66% of the deficiency and would be more in any year in which CF Industries purchased more than 66% of Medicine Hat's production. A similar obligation also exists for Viterra. CF Industries and Viterra currently manage CFL such that each party is responsible for its share of CFL's fixed costs and that CFL's production volume is managed to meet the parties' combined requirements. Based on the contractual arrangements, CF Industries is the primary beneficiary of CFL as CF Industries receives at least 66% of the economic risks and rewards of CFL.

        In accordance with CFL's governing agreements, CFL's earnings are available for distribution to its members based on approval by CFL's shareholders. A portion of the amounts reported as noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statement of operations represent Viterra's 34% interest in the distributed and undistributed earnings of CFL. A portion of the amounts reported as noncontrolling interest on our consolidated balance sheets represent the interests of Viterra and the holders of 17% of CFL's common shares.

        Because CFL's functional currency is the Canadian dollar, consolidation of CFL results in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, which is reported in other comprehensive income (loss).

Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNCLP)

        TNCLP is a master limited partnership that owns a nitrogen manufacturing facility in Verdigris, Oklahoma. We own an aggregate 75.3% of TNCLP through general and limited partnership interests. Outside investors own the remaining 24.7% of the limited partnership. For financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities and earnings of the partnership are consolidated into our financial statements. The outside investors' limited partnership interests in the partnership have been recorded as part of noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements. The noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling unitholders' interest in the equity of TNCLP. CF Industries is required to purchase all of TNCLP's fertilizer products at market prices as defined in the Amendment to the General and Administrative Services and Product Offtake Agreement, dated September 28, 2010.

        TNCLP makes cash distributions to the general and limited partners based upon formulas defined within its Agreement of Limited Partnership. Cash available for distribution is defined in the agreement generally as all cash receipts less all cash disbursements, less certain reserves (including reserves for future operating and capital needs) established as the general partner determines in its reasonable

12

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

discretion to be necessary or appropriate. Changes in working capital impact available cash, as increases in the amount of cash invested in working capital items (such as accounts receivable or inventory) reduce available cash, while declines in the amount of cash invested in working capital increase available cash. Cash distributions to the limited partners and general partner vary depending on the extent to which the cumulative distributions exceed certain target threshold levels set forth in the Agreement of Limited Partnership.

        In each of the applicable quarters of 2011 and 2010, the minimum quarterly distributions were satisfied, which entitled us, as the general partner, to receive increased distributions on our general partner interests as provided for in the Agreement of Limited Partnership. The earnings attributed to our general partnership interest in excess of the threshold levels for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, were $158.6 million and $32.9 million, respectively.

        At September 30, 2011, Terra Nitrogen GP Inc. (TNGP), the general partner of TNCLP (and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CF Industries), and its affiliates owned 75.3% of TNCLP's outstanding units. When not more than 25% of TNCLP's issued and outstanding units are held by non-affiliates of TNGP, TNCLP, at TNGP's sole discretion, may call, or assign to TNGP or its affiliates, TNCLP's right to acquire all such outstanding units held by non-affiliated persons. If TNGP elects to acquire all outstanding units, TNCLP is required to give at least 30 but not more than 60 days notice of TNCLP's decision to purchase the outstanding units. The purchase price per unit will be the greater of (1) the average of the previous 20 trading days' closing prices as of the date five days before the purchase is announced or (2) the highest price paid by TNGP or any of its affiliates for any unit within the 90 days preceding the date the purchase is announced.

	Total liabilities at fair value	$	3.5	$	—	$	3.5	$	—

        Following is a summary of the valuation techniques for assets and liabilities recorded in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of U.S. Treasury Bills with original maturities of three months or less and money market mutual funds that invest in U.S. government obligations.

Short-term Investments

        At December 31, 2010, our short-term investments consisted of a Canadian Treasury Bill with an original maturity of twelve months.

Natural Gas Derivatives

        The derivative instruments that we currently use are primarily natural gas swap contracts. These contracts settle using primarily a NYMEX futures price index, which represents the basis for fair value at any given time. The contracts are traded in months forward and settlements are scheduled to coincide with anticipated gas purchases during those future periods. Quoted market prices are observable inputs used to determine the fair value of these instruments. See Note 20—Derivative Financial Instruments, for additional information.

Asset Retirement Obligation Funds

        In order to meet financial assurance requirements associated with certain asset retirement obligations (AROs) in Florida, we maintain investments in an escrow account established for the benefit of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and a trust established to comply with a Consent Decree entered in the third quarter of 2010 with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the FDEP. The investments in the trust and escrow account are accounted for as available-for-sale securities. The fair values of these are based upon daily quoted prices representing the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the investments. See Note 18—Asset Retirement Obligations, for additional information regarding the trust and escrow account. The fair values of the ARO funds approximate their cost bases.

15

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

Investments in Auction Rate Securities

        Auction rate securities (ARS) are primarily debt instruments with long-term maturities for which interest rates are expected to be reset periodically through an auction process, which occurred every 7 to 35 days. Because the traditional auction process for ARS generally has failed since early 2008, these securities are illiquid and we are not able to access the remaining funds until such time as an auction for these securities is successful, buyers are found outside the auction process, and/or the securities are redeemed by the issuer. During the third quarter of 2011, $9.2 million of our ARS were either sold or redeemed at par value.

        As a result of the continuing market illiquidity and our judgment regarding the period of time that may elapse until the traditional auction process resumes or other effective market trading mechanisms develop, we have classified these investments as noncurrent assets on our consolidated balance sheets. These ARS have maturities that range up to 36 years. As of September 30, 2011, the carrying values by range of maturity are as follows:

	(in millions)
Less than 1 year	$	—
1 year up to 20 years		4.8
20 years up to 30 years		47.1
30 years up to 36 years		19.2
	$	71.1

        We currently intend to hold our ARS until a market recovery occurs and, based on our current liquidity position, we do not believe it is likely that we will need to sell these securities prior to their recovery in value. Therefore, we expect to recover our amortized cost basis in the investments. As a result, our unrealized holding loss on these securities is classified as a temporary impairment and is reported in other comprehensive income (loss).

        Our auction rate securities are accounted for as noncurrent available-for-sale securities. We are unable to use significant observable (Level 1 or Level 2) inputs to value these investments. Therefore, we use a mark-to-model approach that relies on discounted cash flows, market data and inputs derived from similar instruments to arrive at the fair value of these instruments. This model takes into account, among other variables, the base interest rate, credit spreads, downgrade risks and default/recovery risk, the estimated time required to work out the disruption in the traditional auction process and its effect on liquidity, and the effects of insurance and other credit enhancements. Due to the significant number of unobservable inputs that were used to value our auction rate securities, they are classified as Level 3 for purposes of the fair value disclosure requirements.

Nonqualified Employee Benefit Trusts

        We maintain trusts associated with certain deferred compensation related to nonqualified employee benefits. The investments are accounted for as available-for-sale securities. The fair values of the trusts are based on daily quoted prices representing the NAV of the investments.

Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

        The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in our consolidated balance sheet for our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). These assets currently consist of our investments in ARS. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to

16

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

the asset. It is reasonably possible that a change in the estimated fair value for instruments measured using Level 3 inputs could occur in the future.

	Investments in auction rate securities

Unrealized gain included in other comprehensive income (loss)		2.1

9.     Net Earnings Per Share

        Net earnings per share were computed as follows:

		Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
		2011		2010		2011		2010
		(in millions, except per share amounts)
Net earnings attributable to common stockholders		$	330.9	$	48.2	$	1,100.3	$	148.9
Basic earnings per common share:
	Weighted average common shares outstanding		69.4		71.1		70.7		62.5
	Net earnings attributable to common stockholders	$	4.77	$	0.68	$	15.55	$	2.38
Diluted earnings per common share:
	Weighted average common shares outstanding		69.4		71.1		70.7		62.5
	Dilutive common shares—stock options		0.5		0.8		0.7		0.7
	Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		69.9		71.9		71.4		63.2
	Net earnings attributable to common stockholders	$	4.73	$	0.67	$	15.41	$	2.35

        In the computation of diluted net earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, approximately 0.4 million and 0.3 million, respectively, potentially dilutive stock options were excluded because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, anti-dilutive stock options were insignificant.

10.   Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

        We maintain four funded defined benefit pension plans: two U.S. plans and two Canadian plans. Three of the four plans are closed to new employees. One of our Canadian plans remains open to new employees. We also provide group medical insurance benefits to certain retirees. The specific medical benefits provided to retirees vary by group and location.

        Our 2011 consolidated pension funding contributions are estimated to be approximately $18.0 million, of which approximately $11.4 million was funded in the first nine months of 2011.

        In addition to our qualified defined benefit pension plans, we also maintain nonqualified supplemental pension plans for highly compensated employees as defined under federal law. The expense recognized for these plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was insignificant.

        We have defined contribution plans covering substantially all employees. Under these plans, we contribute a fixed percentage of base salary to employees' accounts and match employee contributions up to specified limits. We contributed $2.9 million and $8.7 million to the plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $3.7 million and $7.8 million to the plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

        During the third quarter of 2011, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $35.1 million related to the methanol plant at our Woodward, Oklahoma nitrogen complex. The Woodward complex was acquired in the Terra acquisition and can produce nitrogen fertilizers and methanol. Based on a strategic review that was completed in the third quarter of 2011, the Woodward complex will focus on fertilizer production. As a result, management approved the permanent shutdown and removal of the methanol plant, and we recognized the impairment charge. The expense is included in the first line of the table above.

        In February 2011, we sold four of our owned dry product warehouses to GROWMARK and realized a pre-tax gain of $32.5 million, which is included in the first line in the table above. For further information on the sale of dry product warehouses, see Note 26—Related Party Transactions.

        Business combination costs include expenses associated with the Terra acquisition, including the $123 million termination fee that was paid on behalf of Terra to Yara International ASA. For additional discussion of the Terra acquisition, see Note 4—Terra Acquisition.

        Bartow costs consist of provisions for AROs and site maintenance costs at our closed phosphate fertilizer facility in Bartow, Florida. The AROs involve costs of closure and post-closure maintenance and monitoring for the phosphogypsum stack and cooling pond, and water treatment costs. For additional information on our AROs, see Note 18—Asset Retirement Obligations.

        In January 2010, we sold approximately 5.0 million shares of Terra common stock and realized a pre-tax gain of $28.3 million.

14.   Income Taxes

        Our income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $184.9 million on pre-tax income of $550.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 33.6%, compared to an income tax provision of $18.9 million on pre-tax income of $79.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 23.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2011 based on pre-tax income exclusive of earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest was 37.1% compared to 33.6% in the third quarter 2010. The increase in this rate was due primarily to the establishment of a $13.1 million valuation allowance on certain state tax credits, higher taxes on certain foreign operations and the impact of a lower U.S. manufacturing profits deduction, partially offset by the impact of non-deductible acquisition costs in the prior year. The effective tax rate based on pre-tax income differs from our effective tax rate based on pre-tax income exclusive of earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, as our consolidated income tax provision does not include tax provisions on the earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in TNCLP and CFL, which record no income tax provisions.

        Our unrecognized tax benefits have decreased by $4.4 million to $118.8 million at September 30, 2011 principally as the result of the completion of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination in the three months ended June 30, 2011. The IRS has allowed the utilization of pre-IPO net operating loss carryforwards, thereby sustaining tax return positions taken in prior years. The amount of our unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2011 which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate has been reduced by $5.9 million to $46.0 million.

        For additional information concerning the income tax matters noted above, see Note 16—Income Taxes, to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2011.

16.   Plant Turnaround Costs

        Scheduled inspections, replacements and overhauls of plant machinery and equipment at our continuous process manufacturing facilities are referred to as plant turnarounds. The expenditures related to turnarounds are capitalized into property, plant and equipment when incurred. The following is a summary of plant turnaround activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

		Nine months ended September 30,
		2011			2010
		(in millions)
Net capitalized turnaround costs:
	Beginning balance	$	66.8		$	57.4
	Additions		5.9			26.1
	Depreciation		(21.0	)		(20.2	)
	Effect of exchange rate changes		(0.6	)		0.6
Ending balance		$	51.1		$	63.9

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

17.   Equity Method Investments

        Equity method investments consist of the following:

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	(in millions)
Operating equity method investments	$	424.1	$	421.7
Non-operating equity method investments		561.8		555.4
Investments in and advances to affiliates	$	985.9	$	977.1

Operating Equity Method Investments

        Our equity method investments included in operating earnings consist of: (1) a 50% ownership interest in Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited (PLNL), which operates an ammonia production facility in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago; and (2) a 50% interest in an ammonia storage joint venture located in Houston, Texas. We include our share of the net earnings from these investments as an element of earnings from operations because these operations provide additional production and storage capacity to our operations and are integrated with our other supply chain and sales activities in the nitrogen segment.

21

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

        The combined results of operations and financial position for our operating equity method investments are summarized below:

		Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
		2011		2010		2011		2010

Condensed statement of operations information:
	Net sales	$	116.4	$	57.0	$	272.7	$	93.4
	Net earnings	$	39.8	$	18.5	$	93.5	$	24.7
	Equity in earnings of operating affiliates	$	15.0	$	5.7	$	40.7	$	7.2

	Current assets		$	142.9	$	120.6
	Long-term assets			148.9		147.4
		Total assets	$	291.8	$	268.0
	Current liabilities		$	47.4	$	33.0
	Long-term liabilities			18.4		26.0
	Equity			226.0		209.0
		Total liabilities and equity	$	291.8	$	268.0

        The carrying value of these investments at September 30, 2011 was $424.1 million, which was $311.1 million more than our share of the affiliates' book value. The excess is primarily attributable to the revaluation of property, plant and equipment, the value of an exclusive natural gas contract and goodwill. The increased basis for property, plant and equipment and the gas contract are being depreciated over a remaining period of approximately 22 years and 12 years, respectively. Our equity in earnings of operating affiliates is different from our ownership interest in income reported by the unconsolidated subsidiaries due to amortization of basis differences.

        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. We purchased approximately $122.2 million and $44.5 million of ammonia from PLNL for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

        At September 30, 2011, the amount of our consolidated retained earnings that represents our undistributed earnings of operating equity method investments is insignificant.

Non-Operating Equity Method Investments

        Our non-operating equity method investments consist of: (1) a 50% ownership of KEYTRADE AG (Keytrade), a fertilizer trading company headquartered near Zurich, Switzerland; and (2) a 50% ownership in GrowHow UK Limited (GrowHow), which operates nitrogen production facilities in the United Kingdom. We account for these investments as non-operating equity method investments, and do not include the net earnings of these investments in earnings from operations since these operations

22

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

do not provide additional capacity to us, nor are these operations integrated within our supply chain. GrowHow is a joint venture between us and Yara International ASA.

        The combined results of operations and financial position of our non-operating equity method investments are summarized below:

		Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,

	Equity			393.6		242.4
		Total liabilities and equity	$	974.3	$	734.6

        In conjunction with our investment in Keytrade, we provided financing to Keytrade in the form of subordinated notes that mature on September 30, 2017 and bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.00 percent. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the amount of the outstanding advances to Keytrade on our consolidated balance sheets was $12.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recognized interest income on advances to Keytrade of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The carrying value of our advances to Keytrade approximates fair value.

        Excluding the advances to Keytrade, the carrying value of our non-operating equity method investments at September 30, 2011 was $549.4 million, which was $352.6 million more than our share of the affiliates' book value. The excess is primarily attributable to the impact of our acquisition of Terra and reflects primarily the revaluation of property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangibles and goodwill. The increased basis for property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangibles are being depreciated over remaining periods ranging from 2 to 14 years. Our equity in earnings of non-operating affiliates-net of taxes is different than our ownership interest in their net earnings due to the amortization of basis differences.

        At September 30, 2011, the amount of our consolidated retained earnings that represents our undistributed earnings of non-operating equity method investments is $45.7 million.

18.   Asset Retirement Obligations

        AROs are legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of such assets. Our AROs are primarily associated with phosphogypsum stack systems and mine reclamation in Florida.

        The changes in our AROs from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011 are summarized below:

	(in millions)
Obligation at December 31, 2010	$	119.8
Accretion expense		6.5
Liabilities incurred		2.4
Expenditures		(4.2	)
Changes in estimate		2.0
Obligation at September 30, 2011	$	126.5

        Our phosphate operations in Florida are subject to regulations governing the construction, operation, closure and long-term maintenance of phosphogypsum stack systems and regulations concerning site reclamation for phosphate rock mines. Our liability for phosphogypsum stack costs includes the cost of stack closure at our Plant City, Florida phosphate fertilizer complex and the costs of cooling pond closure, post-closure monitoring, and ongoing water treatment at both Bartow and Plant City. The actual amounts to be spent will depend on factors such as the timing of activities, refinements in scope, technological developments, cost inflation and changes in regulations. It is possible that these factors could change at any time and impact the estimates. In addition to reclamation AROs arising from normal mining activity, AROs may increase in the future upon expansion of the Plant City phosphogypsum stack.

        AROs are reported in accrued expenses and other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, as follows:

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	(in millions)
Current portion	$	10.8	$	8.1
Noncurrent portion		115.7		111.7
	$	126.5	$	119.8

        Florida regulations require phosphate fertilizer companies to demonstrate financial assurance for the closure and maintenance of phosphogypsum stack systems, for mine reclamation activities, and for wetland and other surface water mitigation measures. As a means of complying with such regulations, we maintain an escrow account established for the benefit of the FDEP. In the first quarter of 2010, we made an annual contribution of $3.7 million to this account. No contribution was necessary in 2011. At September 30, 2011, the balance in this escrow account was $13.2 million.

        In the third quarter of 2010, we entered into a Consent Decree with the EPA and the FDEP (the Plant City Consent Decree) with respect to our Plant City phosphate fertilizer complex and its compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). In addition to requirements to modify certain operating practices and undertake certain capital improvement projects, the Plant City Consent Decree requires the Company to provide financial assurance with respect to its ability to fund the closure, long-term maintenance, and monitoring costs for the Plant City phosphogypsum stack, as well as any costs incurred to manage the water contained in the stack system upon closure. As a result,

24

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

in the fourth quarter of 2010 we established a trust for the benefit of the EPA and the FDEP, deposited $54.8 million into the trust and transferred $26.9 million from our previously established escrow account described above. At September 30, 2011 the balance in the trust was $81.8 million. In October 2011 we made an additional contribution of $50.4 million and we currently expect to deposit approximately the same amount in 2012, at which point the trust will be fully funded. Additional funding may be required in the future if increases in cost estimates exceed investment earnings in the trust.

        Prior to the Plant City Consent Decree, the Company's financial assurance requirements for the closure, long-term maintenance, and monitoring costs for the Plant City phosphogypsum stack system were determined solely by Florida regulations which would have required funding of the escrow account over a period of years. The Plant City Consent Decree described above effectively requires the Company to fund the greater of the requirements under the Plant City Consent Decree or Florida law, which may vary over time. We are still required under Florida law to maintain the existing Florida escrow account for the closure, long-term maintenance, and monitoring costs for the phosphogypsum stack system at our closed Bartow phosphate complex.

Net long-term debt		$	1,613.0	$	1,954.1

Credit Agreement

        On April 5, 2010, the Company, as a guarantor, and CF Industries, as borrower, entered into a $2.3 billion senior Credit Agreement with certain lenders, including Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (MSSF), and MSSF as agent for such lenders and as collateral agent (the Credit Agreement), which provided for multiple-draw term loans (Term Loans) of up to $2.0 billion (collectively, the Term Facility) through the date of the Merger (see Note 4—Terra Acquisition) and a revolving credit facility of up to $500 million (the Revolving Credit Facility). All loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on an applicable margin over LIBOR or a base rate. The Credit Agreement initially was to expire on April 5, 2015 (see the Amendment discussed below).

        CF Industries borrowed approximately $1.9 billion in the form of Term Loans to finance, in part, the acquisition of Terra; to refinance certain indebtedness of Terra and its subsidiaries; and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. In the second quarter of 2010, we repaid approximately $864.2 million of the Term Loan borrowings with proceeds from the issuance of the CF Industries senior notes described in this Note 19 under "Senior Notes due 2018 and 2020." In 2010, we also

25

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

repaid an aggregate of $650 million of the Term Loan borrowings and, in the first quarter of 2011, we repaid the remaining balance of the Term Loan, both with cash from operations.

        On August 3, 2011, we completed an amendment (the Amendment) to the Credit Agreement to accomplish the following: increase the amounts of indebtedness permitted to be incurred under certain secured and unsecured indebtedness baskets which are not to exceed a percentage of consolidated total assets and, in certain cases, are subject to compliance with a maximum leverage ratio; permit certain investments if the Company is in compliance with a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio; and increase the amounts available in certain dividend and other restricted payment baskets. In addition, the Amendment extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement an additional year to 2016 and replaced the leverage based pricing with corporate credit ratings based pricing for both the commitment fee and interest rate margin.

        Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (subject to certain limitations). At September 30, 2011, there was $491.2 million of available credit under the Revolving Credit Facility (net of outstanding letters of credit), and there were no borrowings outstanding. The Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio and includes other customary terms and conditions, including negative covenants and events of default.

        The obligations of CF Industries under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the Guarantors). The obligations of CF Industries and the Guarantors under the Credit Agreement are secured by senior liens on substantially all of the assets of CF Industries and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The Amendment described above permits the release of liens on substantially all of the assets securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement if the Company obtains certain credit ratings from S&P and Moody's.

Senior Notes due 2018 and 2020

        On April 23, 2010, CF Industries issued $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due 2018 (the 2018 Notes) and $800 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% senior notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes and, together with the 2018 Notes, the Notes), which are guaranteed by the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company other than CF Industries.

        The 2018 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.875% per annum, payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1, mature on May 1, 2018 and are redeemable at CF Industries' option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a specified make-whole redemption price.

        The 2020 Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.125% per annum, payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1, mature on May 1, 2020 and are redeemable at CF Industries' option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a specified make-whole redemption price.

        The indentures governing the Notes contain customary events of default and covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, including CF Industries, to incur liens on certain properties to secure debt and that require CF Industries, in the event of specified changes of control involving the Company or CF Industries, to offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

        At September 30, 2011, the carrying value of the 2018 Notes and 2020 Notes was $1.6 billion and the fair value was approximately $1.8 billion.

26

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

Terra Senior Notes

        In February 2007, Terra issued $330 million of 7% Senior Notes due 2017 (2017 Notes). In October 2009, Terra repurchased approximately $317.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes in a tender offer and consent solicitation, and as a result, substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the 2017 Notes were eliminated. At September 30, 2011, the carrying value of the 2017 Notes that remain outstanding was $13.0 million, which approximates fair value.

Notes Payable

        From time to time, CFL receives advances from CF Industries and from CFL's noncontrolling interest holder to finance major capital expenditures. The advances outstanding are evidenced by unsecured promissory notes due December 30, 2011 and bear interest at market rates. The amount shown as notes payable represents the advances payable to CFL's noncontrolling interest holder. The carrying value of notes payable approximates their fair value.

20.   Derivative Financial Instruments

        We use natural gas in the manufacture of nitrogen fertilizer products. We manage the risk of changes in gas prices through the use of physical gas supply contracts and derivative financial instruments covering periods of generally less than 18 months. We use natural gas derivative instruments primarily to lock in a substantial portion of our margin on sales under our Forward Pricing Program. Our natural gas acquisition policy also allows us to establish derivative positions that are associated with anticipated natural gas requirements unrelated to our Forward Pricing Program.

        The derivative instruments that we currently use are primarily natural gas swap contracts. These contracts settle using primarily a NYMEX futures price index, which represents fair value at any given time. The contracts are entered into with respect to gas to be consumed in the future and settlements are scheduled to coincide with anticipated gas purchases used to manufacture nitrogen products during those future periods.

        We report derivatives in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in their fair value recognized immediately in earnings, unless the normal purchase and sale exemption applies. We use natural gas derivatives primarily as an economic hedge of gas price risk, but without the application of hedge accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in cost of sales as the changes occur. Cash flows related to natural gas derivatives are reported as operating activities.

        The effect of derivatives in our consolidated statements of operations is shown below. All amounts arise from natural gas derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments, with resulting gains and losses recorded in cost of sales.

        As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had open derivative contracts for 45.8 million MMBtus and 51.8 million MMBtus, respectively, of natural gas. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we used derivatives to cover approximately 61.9% of our natural gas consumption.

        Natural gas derivatives involve the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet the terms of the contracts. The counterparties to our natural gas derivatives are either large oil and gas companies or large financial institutions. Cash collateral is deposited with or received from counterparties when predetermined unrealized gain or loss thresholds are exceeded. At September 30, 2011, we had no cash collateral on deposit with counterparties for derivative contracts. At December 31, 2010, we had cash collateral of $2.6 million on deposit with derivative counterparties.

        As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value of the derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a net liability position was $24.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for which we had no cash collateral on deposit with these counterparties.

        For derivatives that are in net asset positions, we are exposed to credit loss from nonperformance by the counterparties. At September 30, 2011, we were not in a net asset position with any derivative counterparty. At December 31, 2010, our exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by counterparties to derivative instruments totaled $6.4 million. We control our credit risk through the use of multiple counterparties, individual credit limits, monitoring procedures, cash collateral requirements and master netting arrangements.

        The master netting arrangements with respect to our derivative instruments also contain credit-risk-related contingent features that require us to maintain a minimum net worth level and certain financial ratios. If we fail to meet these minimum requirements, the counterparties to derivative instruments that are in net liability positions could require daily cash settlement of unrealized losses or some other form of credit support.

21.   Stock-Based Compensation

        We grant stock-based compensation awards under the CF Industries Holdings, Inc. 2009 Equity and Incentive Plan (Plan). The awards granted to date are nonqualified stock options and restricted stock. The cost of employee services received in exchange for the awards is measured based on the fair value of the award on the grant date and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee is required to provide the services.

        Cash received from stock option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $14.5 million.

        A summary of current year restricted stock activity under the Plan through September 30, 2011 is presented below:

	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value

Forfeited		(600	)		81.30
Outstanding at September 30, 2011		117,011			99.64

        Stock-based compensation cost is recorded primarily in selling, general and administrative expense. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation costs and related income tax benefits:

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
	(in millions)
Stock-based compensation expense	$	2.6		$	1.8		$	7.3		$	5.6
Income tax benefit		(1.0	)		(0.7	)		(2.7	)		(2.1	)
Stock-based compensation expense, net of income taxes	$	1.6		$	1.1		$	4.6		$	3.5

        As of September 30, 2011, pre-tax unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, was $12.4 million for stock options, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years, and $6.9 million for restricted stock, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

        An excess tax benefit is generated when the realized tax benefit from the vesting of restricted stock, or a stock option exercise, exceeds the previously recognized deferred tax asset. Excess tax benefits are required to be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid. Excess tax benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $7.2 million and $25.7 million, respectively.

29

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

        In addition to the foregoing, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for TNCLP phantom units provided to non-employee directors of TNGP.

22.   Treasury Stock

        On August 4, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase Company common stock for a total expenditure of up to $1.5 billion plus program expenses. Repurchases under this program were authorized to be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. During the third quarter of 2011, we repurchased approximately 5.6 million shares under the program for $878.4 million, of which $76.5 million was accrued but unpaid at September 30, 2011. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we repurchased an additional 0.9 million shares for $121.7 million, bringing the total shares repurchased to date under this program to 6.5 million at an aggregate cost of $1.0 billion.

23.   Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

        Changes to accumulated other comprehensive loss and the impact on other comprehensive loss are as follows:

	Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment			Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Securities			Defined Benefit Plans			Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	(in millions)
Balance at December 31, 2009	$	(0.4	)	$	9.7		$	(52.5	)	$	(43.2	)

Balance at September 30, 2011	$	2.5		$	(3.5	)	$	(66.4	)	$	(67.4	)

        The reclassification to earnings of $21.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 reflects the portion of the $28.3 million pre-tax gain realized in January 2010 on the sale of our investment in marketable equity securities that was unrealized at December 31, 2009.

24.   Contingencies

Litigation

        From time to time, we are subject to ordinary, routine legal proceedings related to the usual conduct of our business, including proceedings regarding public utility and transportation rates, environmental matters, taxes and permits relating to the operations of our various plants and facilities. Based on the information available as of the date of this filing, we believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Florida Environmental Matters

Clean Air Act Investigation.

        On March 19, 2007, the Company received a letter from the EPA under Section 114 of the Federal Clean Air Act requesting information and copies of records relating to compliance with New Source Review, New Source Performance Standards, and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants at the Plant City facility. The Company provided the requested information to the EPA in late 2007. The EPA initiated this same process in relation to numerous other sulfuric acid plants and phosphoric acid plants throughout the nation, including other facilities in Florida.

        The Company received a Notice of Violation (NOV) from the EPA by letter dated June 16, 2010. The NOV alleges the Company violated the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Clean Air Act regulations relating to certain projects undertaken at the Plant City facility's sulfuric acid plants. This NOV further alleges that the actions that are the basis for the alleged PSD violations also resulted in violations of Title V air operating permit regulations. Finally, the NOV alleges that the Company failed to comply with certain compliance dates established by hazardous air pollutant regulations for phosphoric acid manufacturing plants and phosphate fertilizer production plants. The Company has had an initial meeting with the EPA to discuss these alleged violations. The Company does not know at this time if it will settle this matter prior to initiation of formal legal action.

        We cannot estimate the potential penalties, fines or other expenditures, if any, that may result from the Clean Air Act NOV and, therefore, we cannot determine if the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

EPCRA/CERCLA Investigation.

        Pursuant to a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) dated July 28, 2008 that was sent to representatives of the major U.S. phosphoric acid manufacturers, including CF Industries, the DOJ stated that it and the EPA believe that apparent violations of Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), which requires annual reports to be submitted with respect to the use of certain toxic chemicals, have occurred at all of the phosphoric acid facilities operated by these manufacturers. The letter also states that the DOJ and the EPA believe that most of these facilities have violated Section 304 of EPCRA and Section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) by failing to provide required notifications relating to the release of hydrogen fluoride from these facilities. The letter did not specifically identify alleged violations at our Plant City, Florida complex or assert a claim for a specific amount of penalties. The EPA submitted an information request to the Company on February 11, 2009, as a follow-up to the July 2008 letter. The Company provided information in response to the agency's inquiry on May 14 and May 29, 2009.

        By letter dated July 6, 2010, the EPA issued a NOV to the Company alleging violations of EPCRA and CERCLA. The Company has had an initial meeting with the EPA to discuss these alleged violations. The Company does not know at this time if it will settle this matter prior to initiation of formal legal action.

        We do not expect that penalties or fines, if any, that may arise out of the EPCRA/CERCLA matter will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Challenge to Federal Numeric Nutrient Criteria Regulation.

        On August 18, 2009, the EPA entered into a consent decree with environmental groups with respect to the promulgation of numeric criteria for nitrogen and phosphorous in surface waters in Florida. The consent decree was approved by a federal district court judge on November 16, 2009. The EPA adopted final numeric nutrient criteria for lakes and inland flowing waters on November 14, 2010, which criteria will become effective March 6, 2012. The EPA intends to propose numeric nutrient criteria for coastal and estuarine waters in March 2012, and finalize such criteria in November of that year. The final numeric water quality criteria for lakes and inland flowing waters are substantially lower than water quality criteria that have been developed and applied in Florida on a case-by-case basis. CF Industries, along with the State of Florida, local wastewater utilities, other industrial entities (including other fertilizer manufacturers) and environmental groups, have filed suit in federal district court in Florida challenging the regulation.

        If the EPA's numeric nutrient criteria regulation is upheld, we could be subject to more stringent waste water discharge limits for our mining, manufacturing and distribution operations in Florida. The specific limits imposed on wastewater discharges from our facilities will depend not only on the adopted criteria but also specific permit conditions to be developed that are consistent with these criteria. More stringent limits could increase our costs and/or limit our operations and, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Louisiana Environmental Matters

Clean Air Act—Section 185 Fee.

        Our Donaldsonville Nitrogen Complex is located in a five-parish region near Baton Rouge, Louisiana that, as of 2005, was designated as being in "severe" nonattainment with respect to the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for ozone (the 1-hour ozone standard) pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (the Act). Section 185 of the Act requires states, in their state implementation plans, to levy a fee (Section 185 fee) on major stationary sources (such as the Donaldsonville facility) located in a severe nonattainment area that did not meet the 1-hour ozone standard by November 30, 2005. The fee was to be assessed for each calendar year (beginning in 2006) until the area achieved compliance with the ozone NAAQS.

        Prior to the imposition of Section 185 fees, the EPA adopted a new ozone standard (the 8-hour ozone standard) and rescinded the 1-hour ozone standard. The Baton Rouge area was designated as a "moderate" nonattainment area with respect to the 8-hour ozone standard. However, because Section 185 fees had never been assessed prior to the rescission of the 1-hour ozone standard (rescinded prior to the November 30, 2005 ozone attainment deadline), the EPA concluded in a 2004 rulemaking implementing the 8-hour ozone standard that the Act did not require states to assess Section 185 fees. As a result, Section 185 fees were not assessed against CF Industries and other companies located in the Baton Rouge area.

        In 2006, the federal D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the EPA's position and held that Section 185 fees were controls that must be maintained and fees should have been assessed under the Act. In January 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to accept the case for review, making the appellate court's decision final.

        In July 2011, the EPA approved a revision to Louisiana's air pollution program that eliminated the requirement for Baton Rouge area companies to pay Section 185 fees, based on Baton Rouge's ultimate attainment of the 1-hour standard through permanent and enforceable emissions reductions. EPA's approval of the Louisiana air program revision is effective August 8, 2011. However, a recent

32

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

decision by the federal D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a similar, but perhaps distinguishable, EPA guidance document regarding alternatives to Section 185 fees. At this time, the viability of EPA's approval of Louisiana's elimination of Section 185 fees is uncertain. Regardless of the approach ultimately adopted by the EPA, we expect that it is likely to be challenged by the environmental community, the states, and/or affected industries. Therefore, the costs associated with compliance with the Act cannot be determined at this time, and we cannot reasonably estimate the impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Clean Air Act Information Request.

        On February 26, 2009, the Company received a letter from the EPA under Section 114 of the Act requesting information and copies of records relating to compliance with New Source Review and New Source Performance Standards at the Donaldsonville facility. The Company has completed the submittal of all requested information. There has been no further contact from the EPA regarding this matter.

Other

CERCLA/Remediation Matters.

        From time to time, we receive notices from governmental agencies or third parties alleging that we are a potentially responsible party at certain cleanup sites under CERCLA or other environmental cleanup laws. In 2002 and in 2009, we were asked by the current owner of a former phosphate mine and processing facility that we are alleged to have operated in the late 1950s and early 1960s located in Georgetown Canyon, Idaho, to contribute to a remediation of this property. We declined to participate in the cleanup. It is our understanding that the current owner conducted a cleanup of the processing portion of the site pursuant to a Consent Judgment with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ). The current could bring a lawsuit against us seeking contribution to the cleanup costs, although we do not have sufficient information to determine whether or when such a lawsuit will be brought. In 2011, we and the current owner received a notice from IDEQ that alleged that we and the current owner were potentially responsible parties for the cleanup of the mine portion of the site. IDEQ requested from each party an indication of its willingness to enter into negotiations for an investigation of the mine portion of the site. The current owner indicated a willingness to negotiate. While reserving all rights and not admitting liability, we also indicated a willingness to negotiate. We are not able to estimate at this time our potential liability, if any, with respect to the remediation of this property. Based on currently available information, we do not expect that any remedial or financial obligations we may be subject to involving this or other sites will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

25.   Segment Disclosures

        We are organized and managed based on two segments, which are differentiated primarily by their products, the markets they serve and the regulatory environments in which they operate. Our two segments are the nitrogen segment and the phosphate segment. The Company's management uses gross margin to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Total other operating costs and expenses (consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses, restructuring and integration costs and other operating-net) and non-operating expenses (interest and income taxes), are centrally managed and are not included in the measurement of segment profitability reviewed by management.

        At December 31, 2010, our condensed, consolidating balance sheet contained in our annual report on Form 10-K included certain amounts that were reported in incorrect line items, as described below:

•

The Guarantor Subsidiaries column includes an intercompany receivable of $1,409.4 million reported in the current asset line "Deferred income taxes" that should have been reported in the noncurrent asset line "Due from affiliates."

•

The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column reflects a distribution of TNCLP earnings of $105.0 million reported in the line "Paid-in capital" that should have been reported in the line "Retained earnings."

        In both cases, offsetting incorrect amounts were reported in the Eliminations column. There was no impact on total assets reported in the Guarantor Subsidiaries column and no impact on any assets reported in the Consolidated column, as the accounts are eliminated in consolidation. We have corrected the errors, which we deem to be immaterial, in the condensed, consolidating balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 shown above.

28. Subsequent Event

        On August 4, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase Company common stock for a total expenditure of up to $1.5 billion plus program expenses. Repurchases under this program were authorized to be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. During the third quarter of 2011, we repurchased approximately 5.6 million shares under the program for $878.4 million, of which $76.5 million was accrued but unpaid at September 30, 2011. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we repurchased an additional 0.9 million shares for $121.7 million, bringing the total shares repurchased to date under this program to 6.5 million at an aggregate cost of $1.0 billion.

Overview of CF Holdings

Our Company

        We are one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer products in the world. Our operations are organized into two business segments—the nitrogen segment and the phosphate segment. Our principal products in the nitrogen segment are ammonia, granular urea, urea ammonium nitrate solution, or UAN, and ammonium nitrate, or AN. Our other nitrogen products include urea liquor, diesel exhaust fluid, or DEF, and aqua ammonia, which are sold primarily to our environmental and industrial customers. Our principal products in the phosphate segment are diammonium phosphate, or DAP, and monoammonium phosphate, or MAP.

        Our core market and distribution facilities are concentrated in the midwestern United States and other major agricultural areas of the U.S. and Canada. We also export nitrogen fertilizer products from our Donaldsonville, Louisiana manufacturing facilities and phosphate fertilizer products from our Florida phosphate operations.

        The principal customers for both our nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers are cooperatives and independent fertilizer distributors.

47

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

        Our principal assets include:

•

five nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing facilities in Port Neal, Iowa, Courtright, Ontario, Yazoo City, Mississippi, Woodward, Oklahoma, and the largest nitrogen fertilizer complex in North America, located in Donaldsonville, Louisiana;

•

a 75% interest in Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNCLP), a publicly traded limited partnership of which we are the sole general partner and the majority limited partner and which, through its subsidiary Terra Nitrogen, Limited Partnership (TNLP), operates a nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing facility in Verdigris, Oklahoma;

•

a 66% economic interest in the largest nitrogen fertilizer complex in Canada (which we operate in Medicine Hat, Alberta through Canadian Fertilizers Limited (CFL), a consolidated variable interest entity);

•

one of the largest integrated ammonium phosphate fertilizer complexes in the United States in Plant City, Florida;

•

the most-recently constructed phosphate rock mine and associated beneficiation plant in the United States in Hardee County, Florida;

•

an extensive system of terminals and associated transportation equipment located primarily in the midwestern United States; and

•

joint venture investments that we account for under the equity method, which consist of:

•

a 50% interest in GrowHow UK Limited (GrowHow), a nitrogen products production joint venture located in the United Kingdom and serving the British agricultural and industrial markets;

•

a 50% interest in Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited (PLNL), an ammonia production joint venture located in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago; and

•

a 50% interest in KEYTRADE AG (Keytrade), a global fertilizer trading company headquartered near Zurich, Switzerland.

        In April 2010, we completed the acquisition of Terra Industries Inc. (Terra), a leading North American producer and marketer of nitrogen fertilizer products, for a purchase price of $4.6 billion. Terra's financial results have been included in our consolidated financial results and in the nitrogen segment results since the acquisition date of April 5, 2010. Therefore, Terra's financial results are not included in the consolidated financial results for the first quarter of 2010. Further information regarding the acquisition of Terra, including the related issuance of long-term debt and the public offering of common shares of CF Holdings can be found in Notes 4 and 19 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 of this report and in the section titled "Acquisition of Terra" later in this discussion and analysis.

Financial Executive Summary

•

We reported net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $330.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to net earnings of $48.2 million in the same quarter of 2010. Our results for the third quarter of 2011 included a $35.1 million pre-tax ($21.8 million after tax) non-cash impairment charge related to our Woodward, Oklahoma methanol plant. The methanol plant is part of a nitrogen complex that was acquired with the Terra acquisition. The Woodward complex can produce nitrogen based fertilizers and methanol. Based on a strategic review that was completed in the third quarter of 2011, the Woodward complex will focus on fertilizer production. As a result, management approved the permanent shutdown and removal of the methanol plant and recognized the impairment charge. We also recognized a $14.1 million pre-tax unrealized mark-to-market loss ($8.7 million after tax) on natural gas derivatives in the third quarter.

The net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $48.2 million in the third quarter of 2010 included an unrealized mark-to-market loss on natural gas derivatives and charges related to our acquisition of Terra and other project development costs. These items included a net $25.7 million pre-tax unrealized mark-to-market loss ($15.9 million after tax) on natural gas derivatives, $14.7 million ($9.1 million after tax) of accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs recognized upon repayment of the senior secured term loan related to the Terra acquisition, $8.6 million ($5.3 million after tax) of restructuring and integration costs associated with the Terra acquisition and $0.4 million ($0.7 million after tax) of additional business combination related expenses and project development costs for our proposed nitrogen complex in Peru.

•

Our gross margin increased $468.2 million to $638.0 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $169.8 million in the same quarter of 2010 due primarily to higher average nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer selling prices and sales volumes.

•

Our net sales increased $486.7 million, or 53%, to $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2011 from $917.1 million in the third quarter of the prior year. The increase in net sales was due primarily to higher average nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer selling prices. Total sales volume (measured in short tons) in the third quarter of 2011 increased 3% from the prior year period as increases in UAN, urea and phosphate fertilizer sales volumes were partially offset by a decrease in ammonia sales volume.

•

Cash flow from operations in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 increased $1.3 billion to $2.0 billion, due primarily to an increase in net earnings and an increase in customer advances related to forward sales contracts.

•

During the third quarter of 2011, we repurchased 5.6 million shares of our common stock for $878.4 million under a share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors.

•

We paid cash dividends of $42.6 million and $39.1 million in the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. In the third quarter of 2011, we increased the quarterly dividend to $0.40 per common share from $0.10 per common share. The cash dividends paid in the first nine months of 2010 included $20.1 million declared by Terra prior to the April 5, 2010 acquisition that was paid subsequent to the acquisition date.

Third Quarter of 2011 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2010

Consolidated Operating Results

        Our total gross margin increased $468.2 million to $638.0 million for the third quarter of 2011 from $169.8 million for the same period of 2010 due to increases in both the nitrogen and phosphate segments. In the nitrogen segment, the gross margin increased by $410.8 million to $552.1 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $141.3 million in the same quarter of the prior year due primarily to higher average nitrogen fertilizer selling prices and sales volume. In the phosphate segment, gross margin increased by $57.4 million to $85.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $28.5 million in the third quarter of 2010, due primarily to higher average phosphate fertilizer selling prices, partially offset by higher sulfur and ammonia costs.

        Net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $330.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included a $35.1 million pre-tax ($21.8 million after tax) non-cash impairment

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

charge related to our Woodward, Oklahoma methanol plant and a net $14.1 million pre-tax unrealized mark-to-market loss ($8.7 million after tax) on natural gas derivatives.

        The net earnings attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $48.2 million included a net $25.7 million pre-tax unrealized mark-to-market loss ($15.9 million after tax) on natural gas derivatives, $14.7 million ($9.1 million after tax) of accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs recognized upon partial repayment of the senior secured term loan, $8.6 million ($5.3 million after tax) of restructuring and integration costs associated with the Terra acquisition and $0.4 million ($0.7 million after tax) of additional business combination related expenses and project development costs for our proposed nitrogen complex in Peru.

Net Sales

        Our net sales increased $486.7 million to $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2011 from $917.1 million in the third quarter of 2010. This increase was due primarily to higher average nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer selling prices, which increased by 49% and 40%, respectively. Total sales volume in the third quarter of 2011 increased 3% from the prior year period as increases in UAN, urea and phosphate fertilizer sales volumes were partially offset by a decrease in ammonia sales volume.

Cost of Sales

        Total cost of sales in our nitrogen segment averaged approximately $186 per ton in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $199 per ton in the same quarter of 2010. The period-over-period decrease in cost of sales per ton is due primarily to lower maintenance costs and a change in product mix. During the third quarter of 2011, a higher proportion of our total nitrogen sales volume consisted of urea and UAN, both of which have a lower per ton cost than ammonia. Phosphate segment cost of sales averaged $396 per ton in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $340 per ton in the prior year period. This 16% increase was due primarily to higher sulfur and ammonia costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million to $30.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $28.8 million in the third quarter of 2010 due primarily to costs associated with the design and implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) software system, higher professional service fees and higher performance-based incentive compensation, partially offset by lower corporate office costs as a result of the integration of Terra.

Restructuring and Integration Costs

        Restructuring and integration costs decreased $7.8 million to $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $8.6 million in the same quarter of the prior year as integration activities associated with the acquisition of Terra have declined substantially and related costs are expected to cease by the end of this year.

Other Operating—Net

        Net other operating expense increased $38.1 million to $39.4 million in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 due to a $35.1 million impairment charge related to our Woodward, Oklahoma methanol plant.

Equity in Earnings of Operating Affiliates

        Equity in earnings of operating affiliates in the second quarter of 2011 consists of our 50% share of the operating results of PLNL and our 50% interest in an ammonia storage joint venture located in Houston, Texas. The $9.3 million increase in the third quarter of 2011 is due to improved PLNL operating results due primarily to higher ammonia prices caused by global supply constraints.

51

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

Interest—Net

        Net interest expense was $31.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $58.0 million in the same quarter of 2010. The decrease in net interest expense reflected the absence of both $10.4 million of interest on borrowings under the senior secured term loan obtained in connection with the Terra acquisition and $14.7 million of accelerated amortization of debt fees recognized upon partial repayment of the senior secured term loan. Subsequent to the third quarter of 2010, we repaid the remaining senior secured term loan outstanding with cash provided by operations, which has reduced the outstanding debt balance and associated interest expense. Our remaining debt outstanding as of September 30, 2011, consists primarily of our two $800.0 million series of senior notes due in 2018 and 2020, respectively.

Income Taxes

        Our income tax provision for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $184.9 million on pre-tax income of $550.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 33.6%, compared to an income tax provision of $18.9 million on a pre-tax income of $79.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 23.9%, in the prior year's third quarter. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2011 based upon pre-tax income exclusive of earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests was 37.1% compared to 33.6% in the prior year's third quarter. The increase in this rate was due primarily to the establishment of a $13.1 million valuation allowance on certain state tax credits, higher taxes on certain foreign operations and the impact of a lower U.S. manufacturing profits deduction, partially offset by the impact of non-deductible acquisition costs in the prior year. The effective tax rate based on pre-tax income differs from our effective tax rate based on pre-tax income exclusive of earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, as our consolidated income tax provision does not include tax provisions on the earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in TNCLP and CFL, which record no income tax provisions. See Note 16 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on income taxes.

Equity in Earnings of Non-Operating Affiliates—Net of Taxes

        Equity in earnings of non-operating affiliates—net of taxes for the third quarter of 2011 consists of our share of the operating results of unconsolidated joint venture interests in GrowHow and Keytrade. The $5.9 million increase in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter of 2010 was due primarily to higher GrowHow earnings resulting from a strong U.K. fertilizer market, partially offset by the impact of a fire that occurred in June of 2011, at their Billingham, United Kingdom nitrogen complex.

Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

        Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest include the interest of the 34% holder of CFL's common and preferred shares and the net earnings attributable to the 24.7% interest of the publicly held common units of TNCLP. The $28.5 million increase in net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest is due primarily to improved operating results for CFL during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. During the third quarter of 2011, the TNCLP minimum quarterly distribution was exceeded, which entitled us to receive increased distributions on our general partner interests as provided for in the TNCLP Agreement of Limited Partnership. For additional information, see Note 7 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 of this report.

52

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

Diluted Net Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

        Diluted net earnings per share attributable to common stockholders increased to $4.73 in the third quarter of 2011 from $0.67 in the third quarter of 2010 due primarily to the increase in net earnings attributable to common stockholders and a decrease in the weighted average shares outstanding due to repurchasing 5.6 million common shares during the third quarter under our share repurchase program.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

        In April 2010, we completed the acquisition of Terra and Terra's results have been included in our consolidated results since the second quarter of 2010. As a result, Terra's results were not included in the first quarter of 2010, which impacts the comparability between the periods.

Consolidated Operating Results

        Our total gross margin increased $1.3 billion to $2.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $695.6 million for the comparable period of 2010 due to increases in both the nitrogen and phosphate segments. In the nitrogen segment, the gross margin increased by $1.2 billion to $1.8 billion in the nine months of 2011 compared to $606.1 million in the same nine months of 2010. The nitrogen segment gross margin increased due to higher average nitrogen fertilizer selling prices, the Terra acquisition and lower realized natural gas costs. In the phosphate segment, gross margin increased by $163.7 million to $253.2 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared to $89.5 million in the comparable period of 2010, due primarily to higher average phosphate fertilizer selling prices, partially offset by higher sulfur and ammonia costs.

        Net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included a $35.1 million pre-tax ($21.8 million after tax) non-cash impairment charge related to our Woodward, Oklahoma methanol plant, a $32.5 million ($20.0 million after tax) gain on the sale of four dry product warehouses, a net $27.6 million pre-tax unrealized mark-to-market loss ($17.1 million after tax) on natural gas derivatives, $19.9 million ($12.3 million after tax) of accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs recognized upon repayment of the remaining balance of the senior secured term loan in the first quarter of 2011, $4.2 million ($2.6 million after tax) of restructuring and integration costs associated with the acquisition of Terra, and a $2.0 million ($1.3 million after tax) gain on the sale of a non-core transportation business.

        The net earnings attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $148.9 million included $150.0 million ($148.4 million after tax) of business combination related expenses and project development costs, $73.7 million ($45.5 million after tax) of accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs recognized upon repayment of the senior bridge loan and partial repayment of the senior secured term loan, a $28.3 million ($17.5 million after tax) gain on the sale of 5.0 million shares of Terra's common stock acquired in connection with our 2009 proposals to acquire Terra, a net $21.8 million pre-tax unrealized mark-to-market loss ($13.5 million after tax) on natural gas derivatives, a $19.4 million ($12.0 million after tax) non-cash charge in cost of sales recognized upon the sale of Terra's product inventory due to revaluing it to fair value under purchase accounting, a loss of $17.9 million ($11.1 million after tax) of restructuring and integration costs associated with the acquisition of Terra, and a loss of $17.0 million ($10.5 million after tax) on the early retirement of Terra's 7.75% senior notes due 2019 (the 2019 Notes).

Net Sales

        Our net sales increased $1.7 billion to $4.4 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $2.7 billion in the same period of 2010. This increase was due primarily to higher average

53

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer selling prices and the inclusion of Terra net sales in the first quarter of 2011. Total sales volume increased 1.6 million tons, or 17%, in 2011 to 11.1 million tons as compared to 2010, due primarily to the acquisition of Terra.

Cost of Sales

        Total cost of sales in our nitrogen segment averaged approximately $183 per ton in the first nine months of 2011 compared to $195 per ton in the same period of 2010. This 6% decrease was due primarily to lower realized natural gas costs, the absence in 2011 of the effect on cost of sales in 2010 of revaluing inventory in purchase accounting and changes in product mix. Phosphate segment cost of sales averaged $389 per ton in the first nine months of 2011 compared to $326 per ton in the prior year period, an increase of 19%, due primarily to higher sulfur and ammonia costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $19.9 million to $93.2 million in the first nine months of 2011 from $73.3 million in the same period of 2010 due primarily to costs associated with the design and implementation of a new ERP software system and higher performance-based incentive compensation, professional service fees and stock-based compensation costs.

Restructuring and Integration Costs

        Restructuring and integration costs decreased $13.7 million to $4.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $17.9 million in the comparable period of the prior year, as integration activities associated with the acquisition have declined substantially and these costs are expected to cease by the end of this year.

Other Operating—Net

        Net other operating expense decreased $138.6 million to $12.3 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared to $150.9 million in the same period of 2010. The expense recorded in the first nine months of 2011 consists primarily of the $35.1 million impairment charge related to our Woodward, Oklahoma methanol plant, partially offset by a $32.5 million gain that was recognized on the sale of four dry-product warehouses and a $2.0 million gain on the sale of a non-core transportation business. The expense in the first nine months of 2010 is primarily business combination costs associated with our acquisition of Terra, including a $123.0 million termination fee paid to Yara International ASA in the first quarter of 2010, and project development costs.

Equity in Earnings of Operating Affiliates

        Equity in earnings of operating affiliates in the first nine months of 2011 consists of our 50% share of the operating results of PLNL and our 50% interest in an ammonia storage joint venture located in Houston, Texas. The $33.5 million increase in the first nine months of 2011 is due to improved PLNL operating results due primarily to higher ammonia prices caused by a strong international market.

Interest—Net

        Net interest expense was $113.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $169.6 million in the same period of 2010. The financing costs of the Terra acquisition, including the accelerated amortization of debt fees, impacted the first nine months of both 2010 and 2011. In the second quarter of 2010, we financed the Terra acquisition with a senior secured bridge loan, a senior secured term loan and senior notes. The senior secured bridge loan and a portion of the senior term

54

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

loan were repaid in the second and third quarters of 2010 and accelerated loan fee amortization of $73.7 million was recognized in the first nine months of 2010. In the first quarter of 2011, the senior secured term loan was repaid and accelerated loan fee amortization of $19.9 million was recognized.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

        Loss on extinguishment of debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 consists of the $17.0 million loss on the early retirement of Terra's 2019 Notes. This amount represents the difference between the amount paid to settle the debt of $744.5 million and the fair value of the notes on April 5, 2010 of $727.5 million as the notes were recognized at fair value under purchase accounting.

Other Non-Operating—Net

        Net other non-operating income was $0.6 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared to $28.6 million in the same nine months of 2010. The income for the first nine months of 2010 includes a $28.3 million gain on the sale of 5.0 million shares of Terra's common stock.

Income Taxes

        Our income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $624.7 million on pre-tax income of $1.8 billion, or an effective tax rate of 33.8%, compared to an income tax provision of $104.4 million on a pre-tax income of $302.7 million and an effective tax rate of 34.5% in the first three quarters of 2010. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 based upon pre-tax income exclusive of earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests was 37.0% compared to 43.9% in the prior year. The decrease in this rate was due primarily to the impact of non-deductible costs in 2010, which increased the effective tax rate in that period. This decrease was partially offset by higher taxes on certain foreign operations, a lower benefit from the U.S. manufacturing profits deduction and higher state income taxes due to the establishment of a valuation allowance on certain state tax credits. The effective tax rate based on pre-tax income differs from our effective tax rate based on pre-tax income exclusive of earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, as our consolidated income tax provision does not include tax provisions on the earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in TNCLP and CFL, which record no income tax provisions. See Note 16 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on income taxes.

Equity in Earnings of Non-Operating Affiliates—Net of Taxes

        Equity in earnings of non-operating affiliates—net of taxes for the first nine months of 2011 consists of our share of the operating results of unconsolidated joint venture interests in GrowHow and Keytrade. The $19.3 million increase in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 was due primarily to higher GrowHow earnings resulting from a strong U.K. fertilizer market.

Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

        Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest include the interest of the 34% holder of CFL's common and preferred shares and the net earnings attributable to the 24.7% interest of the publicly held common units of TNCLP. During the first nine months of 2011, the TNCLP minimum quarterly distribution was exceeded, which entitled us to receive increased distributions on our general partner interests as provided for in the TNCLP Agreement of Limited Partnership. For additional information, see Note 7 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 of this report.

Diluted Net Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

        Diluted net earnings per share attributable to common stockholders increased to $15.41 in the first nine months of 2011 from $2.35 in the comparable period of 2010 due primarily to the increase in net earnings attributable to common stockholders, partially offset by an increase in diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Operating Results by Business Segment

        Our business is organized and managed internally based on two segments, the nitrogen segment and the phosphate segment, which are differentiated primarily by their products, the markets they serve and the regulatory environments in which they operate.

Third Quarter of 2011 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2010

        Net Sales.    Nitrogen segment net sales increased $382.9 million to $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $735.1 million in the third quarter of 2010 due primarily to higher average nitrogen fertilizer selling prices and UAN and urea sales volume partially offset by lower ammonia sales volume. Average nitrogen fertilizer selling prices increased to $367 per ton in the third quarter of 2011 from $247 per ton in the third quarter of 2010 with increases across all products. The favorable pricing environment resulted from strong market conditions in North America caused by high domestic demand and tight supply due to global supply constraints. We believe low downstream inventories and the expectation that 2012 planted acres will remain at historically high levels drove the increase in demand. Nitrogen segment sales volume in the third quarter of 2011 was 2% higher than in the third quarter of 2010 due primarily to higher UAN and urea sales volume partially offset by lower ammonia sales volume. We believe the increase in UAN and urea sales volume was due primarily to customers replenishing depleted downstream inventories stemming from a robust spring application season as well as their response to rising prices. Our decision to decrease industrial contract volume and drought conditions in the Southern Plains wheat region of the U.S. caused 2011 ammonia sales volumes to fall below the prior year quarter.

        Cost of Sales.    Total cost of sales in the nitrogen segment averaged approximately $186 per ton in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $199 per ton in the third quarter of 2010. The decrease in cost of sales per ton is due primarily to lower maintenance costs and a change in product mix. During the third quarter of 2011, a higher proportion of our total nitrogen sales volume was comprised of urea and UAN, both of which have a lower per ton cost than ammonia.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

        Net Sales.    Nitrogen segment net sales increased $1.4 billion to $3.5 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2.2 billion in the same period of last year, due primarily to higher average nitrogen fertilizer selling prices and the acquisition of Terra. Average nitrogen fertilizer selling prices increased to $367 per ton in the first nine month of 2011 from $269 per ton in the first nine months of 2010. We believe the higher average selling prices were due primarily to strong demand for the spring application season due to an increase in planted acres, depleted supplies available at both the producer and customer level due to the strong demand, global supply constraints and expectations that 2012 planted acres will remain at historically high levels. Nitrogen segment sales volume in the first nine months of 2011 increased 1.5 million tons, or 19%, from the first nine months of 2010, due primarily to the acquisition of Terra.

        Cost of Sales.    Total cost of sales in the nitrogen segment averaged approximately $183 per ton in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $195 per ton in the same period of 2010. The 6% decrease was due primarily to lower realized natural gas costs and the absence in 2011 of the effect on cost of sales in 2010 of revaluing inventory in purchase accounting.

Third Quarter of 2011 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2010

        Net Sales.    Phosphate segment net sales increased $103.8 million to $285.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $182.0 million in the third quarter of 2010 due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volume. Average selling prices for the third quarter of 2011 increased by 40% compared to the prior year period, due to strong domestic demand and global supply constraints. Our total sales volume of 505,000 tons in the third quarter of 2011 was 12% higher than in the third quarter of 2010 due primarily to higher export sales.

        Cost of Sales.    Phosphate segment cost of sales averaged $396 per ton in the third quarter 2011 compared to $340 per ton in the prior year period. The 16% increase was due primarily to higher sulfur and ammonia costs.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

        Net Sales.    Phosphate segment net sales increased $288.0 million to $830.5 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared to $542.5 million in the first nine months of 2010 due to higher average selling prices and higher volume. Average selling prices for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by 44% compared to the prior year due primarily to supply constraints in the international market and strong domestic demand for the spring and fall application seasons. Our total volume of phosphate fertilizer sales of 1.5 million tons in the first nine months of 2011 was 7% higher than in the

58

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

same period of 2010 due primarily to higher domestic demand resulting from increased domestic corn planted acreage and increased export sales.

        Cost of Sales.    Phosphate segment cost of sales averaged $389 per ton in the first nine months 2011 compared to $326 per ton in the prior year period. The 19% increase was due primarily to higher sulfur and ammonia costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Generally, our primary source of cash is cash from operations, which includes customer advances. Our primary uses of cash are generally for operating costs, working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, investments and dividends. 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.

        Under our short-term investment policy, we may invest our excess cash balances in several types of securities including notes and bonds issued by governmental entities or corporations, and money market funds. Securities issued by governmental agencies include those issued directly by the U.S. and Canadian Federal governments; those issued by state, local or other governmental entities; and those guaranteed by entities affiliated with governmental entities.

Cash Balances

        As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 billion and an $878.2 million current liability attributable to customer advances. As of December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $797.7 million, short-term investments of $3.1 million and a $431.5 million current liability attributable to customer advances.

Share Repurchase Program

        On August 4, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase our common stock for a total expenditure of up to $1.5 billion plus program expenses. Repurchases under this program were authorized to be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. During the third quarter of 2011, we repurchased approximately 5.6 million shares under this program for $878.4 million, of which $76.5 million was accrued but unpaid at September 30, 2011. In October 2011, we repurchased an additional 0.9 million shares for $121.7 million, bringing the total to date under this program to 6.5 million shares at an aggregate cost of $1.0 billion.

Investments in Auction Rate Securities

        As of September 30, 2011, our investments in auction rate securities were reported at their fair value of $71.1 million, after reflecting a $5.5 million unrealized holding loss against a par value of $76.6 million. At December 31, 2010, our investments in auction rate securities totaled $102.8 million, after reflecting a $7.6 million unrealized holding loss against a par value of $110.4 million.

        Because the traditional auction process for auction rate securities generally has failed since early 2008, we do not consider our auction rate securities to be liquid investments. We are not able to access these funds until such time as auctions for the securities succeed once again, buyers are found outside the auction process, and/or the securities are redeemed by the issuers. During the first nine months of 2011, $33.8 million of auction rate securities were either redeemed or sold at par value outside of the auction process. In accordance with our policies, we review the underlying securities and assess the creditworthiness of these securities as part of our investment process.

59

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

        We determined the fair value of these investments at September 30, 2011 using a mark-to-model approach that relies on discounted cash flows, market data and inputs derived from similar instruments. The unrealized holding loss has been reported in other comprehensive income as the impairment is deemed to be temporary based on the requirements set forth in ASC Topic 320—Investments—Debt and Equity Securities. See Note 8 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 of this report for additional information regarding our investments in auction rate securities.

        The model we use to value our auction rate securities uses discounted cash flow calculations as one of the significant inputs to the ultimate determination of fair value. The base interest rates assumed for the required rates of return are key components of the calculation of discounted cash flows. If the required rate of return we used in the calculation model was 100 basis points higher, the resulting holding loss would have been approximately $4.2 million greater. We may need to recognize either additional holding gains or losses in other comprehensive income or holding losses in net earnings should changes occur in either the conditions in the credit markets, the credit worthiness of the issuers, or in the variables considered in our valuation model.

        We believe ultimately we will recover the historical cost for these instruments as we presently intend to hold these securities until market liquidity returns either through resumption of auctions or otherwise. We do not believe the ongoing market liquidity issues regarding these securities present any operating liquidity issues for us. We believe our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, operating cash flow, and credit available under our credit facility are adequate to fund our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Debt

        As of September 30, 2011, we had $1.6 billion of outstanding senior notes and $13.0 million of Terra 7% senior notes due 2017 (2017 Notes). As of December 31, 2010, we had $346.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our senior secured term loan facility (term loan facility), $1.6 billion of outstanding senior notes, and $13.0 million of 2017 Notes. During the first quarter of 2011, we repaid the remaining $346.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the term loan facility using cash generated from operations. Our senior notes were issued in two series of $800 million each. The first series carries an interest rate of 6.875% and is due in the aggregate in 2018. The second series carries an interest rate of 7.125% and is due in the aggregate in 2020.

        Notes payable, representing amounts owed by CFL to its noncontrolling interest holder with respect to advances, were $4.7 million as of September 30, 2011 compared to $4.9 million as of December 31, 2010.

        We have a senior secured revolving credit facility, which provides for $500 million of borrowings outstanding at any time for working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $491.2 million was available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility, reflecting $8.8 million of outstanding letters of credit and no outstanding borrowings thereunder.

        The credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility includes representations and warranties, covenants and events of default, including requirements that we maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio, as well as other customary covenants. Our senior notes indentures also include certain covenants and events of default. As of September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement and the senior notes indentures.

        See Note 19 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 of this report for additional information regarding our outstanding indebtedness.

Acquisition of Terra

        In April 2010, we completed the acquisition of Terra through the merger of Composite Merger Corporation, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary (Composite), with and into Terra pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 12, 2010 among CF Holdings, Composite and Terra (the Merger Agreement). As a result of the merger, Terra became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. The acquisition of Terra has made us a global leader in the nitrogen fertilizer industry, diversified our asset base, increased our geographic reach and operational efficiency, and significantly increased our scale and capital market presence.

        Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Terra common stock was converted into the right to receive $37.15 in cash and 0.0953 of a share of CF Holdings common stock pursuant to an exchange offer and second-step merger (the Merger). CF Holdings issued an aggregate of 9.5 million shares of its common stock with a fair value of $882 million and paid an aggregate of $3.2 billion in cash, net of $0.5 billion cash acquired, for 100% of Terra's common stock.

        We funded the cash requirements of the acquisition with cash on hand and with $1.75 billion of borrowings under a senior secured bridge facility and approximately $1.9 billion of borrowings under a senior secured term loan facility that provided for up to $2.0 billion of borrowings. On April 21, 2010, CF Holdings completed a public offering of approximately 12.9 million shares of common stock at $89.00 per share. The proceeds of $1.1 billion, net of underwriting discounts and customary fees, were used to repay a portion of the senior secured bridge facility. On April 23, 2010, CF Industries completed a public offering of senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1.6 billion. Approximately $645.2 million of the net proceeds of the offering were used to repay in full the remaining outstanding borrowings under senior secured bridge facility. We used the remaining proceeds from the offering to repay approximately $864.2 million of the senior secured term loan facility. In May 2010, we redeemed Terra's 7.75% senior notes due 2019 for $744.5 million and recognized a $17 million loss on the early extinguishment of that debt. See Note 19—Financing Agreements, in this Form 10-Q for further information regarding these financing arrangements.

Forward Sales

        We offer our customers the opportunity to purchase product on a forward basis, including under our Forward Pricing Program (FPP) at prices and on delivery dates we propose. As our customers enter into forward nitrogen fertilizer purchase contracts with us, we generally lock in a substantial portion of the margin on these sales mainly by using natural gas derivative instruments and fixed price purchase contracts to hedge against price changes 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 fertilizers. As a result of using derivative instruments to hedge against movements of future prices of natural gas, volatility in reported quarterly earnings can result from the unrealized mark-to-market adjustments in the fair value of the derivatives. Our reported selling prices and margins may differ from spot market prices and margins available at the time of shipment. Unlike nitrogen fertilizer products sold under forward sales contracts for which we effectively fix the cost of natural gas, we typically are unable to fix the cost of phosphate fertilizer raw materials, principally sulfur and ammonia, which are among the largest components of our phosphate fertilizer manufacturing costs. As a result, we typically are exposed to margin risk on phosphate fertilizer products sold on a forward basis.

        Customer advances, which typically represent a portion of the contract's sales value, are received shortly after the contract is executed, with any remaining unpaid amount generally being collected by the time the product is shipped, thereby reducing or eliminating the accounts receivable related to such

61

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

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 the related orders are shipped, which may be several months after the order is placed. As is the case for all of our sale transactions, revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers upon shipment or delivery of the product to customers. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had approximately $878.2 million and $431.5 million, respectively, in customer advances on our consolidated balance sheets.

        While customer advances were a significant source of liquidity in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the level of forward sales contracts is affected by many factors including current market conditions and our customers' outlook of future market fundamentals. The level of forward orders at any point in time may reflect our customers' views of the current fertilizer pricing environment and expectations regarding future pricing and availability of supply.

        Under the FPP, 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 an FPP contract due to a customer's inability or unwillingness to perform may negatively impact our reported sales. We also may be subject to certain charges under these arrangements should we be unable to deliver product at the specified time. If the level of forward sales were to decrease in the future, our cash received from customer advances would likely decrease and our accounts receivable balances would likely increase. Also, borrowing under our senior secured revolving credit facility 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.

Natural Gas Derivatives

        We use natural gas derivative instruments primarily to lock in a substantial portion of our margin on forward sales contracts. Our natural gas acquisition policy also allows us to establish derivative positions that are associated with anticipated natural gas requirements unrelated to our forward sales.

        Natural gas derivatives involve the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet the terms of the contracts. The counterparties to our natural gas derivatives are either large oil and gas companies or large financial institutions. Cash collateral is deposited with or received from counterparties when predetermined unrealized loss or gain thresholds are exceeded. For derivatives that are in net asset positions, we are exposed to credit loss from nonperformance by the counterparties. We control our credit risk through the use of multiple counterparties, individual credit limits, monitoring procedures, cash collateral requirements and master netting arrangements.

        The master netting arrangements to our derivative instruments also contain credit-risk-related contingent features that require us to maintain minimum net worth levels and certain financial ratios. If we fail to meet these minimum requirements, the counterparties to derivative instruments for which we are in net liability positions could require daily cash settlement of unrealized losses or some other form of credit support.

        As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value of the derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a net liability position was $24.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for which we have no cash collateral on deposit with these counterparties.

Financial Assurance Requirements

        In addition to various operational and environmental regulations related to our phosphate segment, we are subject to financial assurance requirements. Pursuant to the Florida regulations governing financial assurance related to the closure and maintenance of phosphogypsum stack systems, we established an escrow account to meet such future obligations. We contributed $3.7 million in February 2010 to this escrow account, which by rule is earmarked to cover the closure, long-term maintenance, and monitoring costs for our phosphogypsum stacks, as well as any costs incurred to manage the water contained in the stack systems upon closure.

        In the third quarter of 2010, we entered into a consent decree (the Plant City Consent Decree) with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) with respect to our Plant City, Florida phosphate fertilizer complex and its compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). In addition to requirements to modify certain operating practices and undertake certain capital improvement projects, the Plant City Consent Decree requires us to provide financial assurance with respect to our ability to fund the closure, long-term maintenance, and monitoring costs for the Plant City phosphogypsum stack, as well as any costs incurred to manage the water contained in the stack system upon closure. In the fourth quarter of 2010, we established a trust for the benefit of the EPA and the FDEP and we deposited approximately $54.8 million into the trust. We also transferred approximately $26.9 million from our previously established escrow account described above. At September 30, 2011 the balance in the trust was $81.8 million. In October 2011, we made an additional contribution of $50.4 million and we currently expect to deposit approximately the same amount in 2012, at which point the trust will be fully funded. Additional funding may be required in the future if increases in cost estimates exceed investment earnings in the trust.

        Prior to the Plant City Consent Decree, our financial assurance requirements for the closure, long-term maintenance, and monitoring costs for the Plant City phosphogypsum stack system were determined solely by Florida regulations which would have required funding of the escrow account over a period of years. The Plant City Consent Decree described above effectively requires us to fund the greater of the requirements under the Plant City Consent Decree or Florida law, which may vary over time. We are still required under Florida law to maintain the existing Florida escrow account for the closure, long-term maintenance, monitoring, and water management costs for the phosphogypsum stack system at our closed Bartow, Florida phosphate fertilizer complex. No contribution was necessary in the first nine months of 2011. At September 30, 2011, the balance in this escrow account was $13.2 million.

        The amounts recognized as expense in operations pertaining to our phosphogypsum stack closure and land reclamation are determined and accounted for on an accrual basis as described in Note 18 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 of this report. These expense amounts are expected to differ from the anticipated contributions to the trust and escrow accounts, which are based on the guidelines set forth in the Plant City Consent Decree and Florida regulations. Ultimately, the funds in these accounts will be used to fund the closure and maintenance of the phosphogypsum stack systems.

        Florida regulations require mining companies to demonstrate financial responsibility for reclamation, wetland and other surface water mitigation measures in advance of any mining activities. We will also be required to demonstrate financial responsibility for reclamation and for wetland and other surface water mitigation measures, if and when we are able to expand our Hardee mining activities to areas not currently permitted. The demonstration of financial responsibility by mining companies in Florida may be provided by passing a financial test or by establishing a trust fund

63

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

agreement or escrow account. Based on these current regulations, we will have the option to demonstrate financial responsibility in Florida utilizing any of these methods.

Other Liquidity Requirements

        We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning surface and underground waters. Such regulations evolve through various stages of proposal or development and the ultimate outcome of such rulemaking activities often cannot be predicted prior to enactment. At the present time, proposed regulations in the State of Florida are being considered to limit nutrient content in water discharges, including certain specific regulations pertaining to water bodies near our Florida operations. We are monitoring the evolution of these proposed regulations. Potential costs associated with compliance cannot be determined currently and we cannot reasonably estimate the impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        We contributed approximately $11.4 million to our pension plans in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We expect to contribute approximately $6.6 million to our pension plans in the remaining three months of 2011.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

        Net cash generated from operating activities in the first nine months of 2011 was $2.0 billion as compared to $634.0 million in the same period of 2010. The $1.4 billion increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to a $1.0 billion increase in net earnings and a lower level of net working capital required in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to 2010. The decrease in net working capital was due primarily to increased customer advances, accounts payable and accrued expenses in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to 2010, partially offset by increased inventories and accounts receivable.

Investing Activities

        Net cash used in investing activities was $49.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $3.0 billion used in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2010 was primarily for the acquisition of Terra for $3.2 billion and $188.5 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by $386.6 million in sales and maturities of short term and auction rate securities and sales of marketable equity securities. The cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2011 was primarily the $169.2 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by $36.9 million in sales and maturities of short-term and auction rate securities and $51.3 million in proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. The proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment primarily relate to the sale of four dry product warehouses and a non-core transportation business.

64

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

Financing Activities

        Net cash used in financing activities was $1.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2.3 billion provided by financing activities in the same period of 2010. The 2010 financing activities were primarily the net financing of the Terra acquisition, including the net proceeds of $1.3 billion from the issuance of long-term debt and $1.2 billion from the issuance of common stock. In the first nine months of 2011, $801.9 million was used to repurchase our common stock. In addition, $346.0 million was used for the repayment of long-term debt. See the "Acquisition of Terra" and "Debt" sections of this discussion and analysis for additional information. We paid distributions to our noncontrolling interests of $127.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $110.5 million in the same period of the prior year.

Subsequent Events

        On August 4, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase our common stock for a total expenditure of up to $1.5 billion plus program expenses. Repurchases under this program were authorized to be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. During the third quarter of 2011, we repurchased approximately 5.6 million shares under the program for $878.4 million, of which $76.5 million was accrued but unpaid at September 30, 2011. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we repurchased an additional 0.9 million shares for $121.7 million, bringing the total shares repurchased to date under this program to 6.5 million at an aggregate cost of $1.0 billion.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We have operating leases for certain property and equipment under various noncancelable agreements, the most significant of which are rail car leases and barge tow charters for the transportation of fertilizer, and terminal and office leases. The rail car leases currently have minimum terms ranging from one to 10 years and the barge charter commitments currently have terms ranging from one to four years. We also have terminal and warehouse storage agreements at several of our distribution locations, some of which contain minimum throughput requirements. The storage agreements contain minimum terms ranging from one to three years and commonly contain automatic annual renewal provisions thereafter unless canceled by either party. The Deerfield corporate office lease agreement includes leasehold incentives, rent holidays and scheduled rent increases that are expensed on a straight-line basis over its 10-year term. Our other operating lease agreements do not contain significant contingent rents, leasehold incentives, rent holidays, scheduled rent increases, concessions or unusual provisions.

        We do not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        We describe our significant accounting policies and estimates in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We discuss our critical accounting estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no changes to our significant accounting policies or estimates during the first nine months of 2011.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

        We are exposed to the impact of changes in commodity prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and the valuation of our investments.

Commodity Prices

        Our net sales, cash flows and estimates of future cash flows related to fertilizer sales are sensitive to changes in fertilizer prices as well as changes in the prices of natural gas and other raw materials unless these costs have been fixed or hedged. A $1.00 per MMBtu change in the price of natural gas would change the cost to produce a ton of ammonia, granular urea and UAN (32%) by approximately $33, $22 and $13, respectively.

        We use natural gas in the manufacture of our nitrogen products. Natural gas prices are volatile. We manage the risk of changes in gas prices through the use of physical gas supply contracts and derivative financial instruments covering periods not exceeding three years.

        The derivative instruments that we use currently are natural gas swap contracts. These contracts settle using NYMEX futures price indexes, which represent fair value at any given time. The contracts are traded in months forward and settlements are scheduled to coincide with anticipated gas purchases during those future periods.

        We account for derivatives under ASC Topic 815—Derivatives and Hedging. Under this section, derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and changes in their fair value are recognized immediately in earnings, unless the normal purchase and sale exemption applies. We use natural gas derivatives primarily as an economic hedge of gas price risk, but without the application of hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in cost of sales as the changes occur. Cash flows related to natural gas derivatives are reported as operating activities.

        As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had open derivative contracts for 45.8 million MMBtus and 51.8 million MMBtus, respectively, of natural gas. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we used derivatives to cover approximately 61.9% of our natural gas consumption. As of September 30, 2011, an overall $1.00 per MMBtu change in the forward curve prices of natural gas would change the pre-tax unrealized mark-to-market gain/loss on these derivative positions by $45.8 million.

        We purchase ammonia and sulfur for use as raw materials in the production of DAP and MAP. We attempt to include any price fluctuations related to these raw materials in our selling prices of finished products, but there can be no guarantee that significant increases in input prices can always be recovered. We purchase ammonia from PLNL and we enter into raw material purchase contracts to procure ammonia and sulfur, all at market prices. A $10 per ton change in the related cost of a ton of ammonia or a long ton of sulfur would change DAP production cost by $2.10 per ton and $3.80 per ton, respectively. We also may purchase ammonia, granular urea, UAN, DAP and MAP to augment or replace production at our facilities.

Interest Rate Fluctuations

        As of September 30, 2011, we had $800.0 million of senior notes outstanding with a maturity date of May 1, 2018 and $800.0 million of senior notes outstanding with a maturity date of May 1, 2020. The senior notes have fixed interest rates. In addition, we had $13.0 million of the Terra 7% senior notes due 2017 outstanding. The fair value of our long-term debt at September 30, 2011 was approximately $1.8 billion. Our senior secured revolving credit facility bears a current market rate of interest and we

69

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

are subject to interest rate risk on borrowings under the facility. However, as of September 30, 2011, there were no borrowings under the facility.

        We had notes payable of approximately $4.7 million as of September 30, 2011, that had a floating interest rate. A 100 basis point change in interest rates on our notes payable, would result in a $47,000 change in pre-tax income on an annual basis.

        Our advances to unconsolidated affiliates consisted of floating rate subordinated debt owed to us by Keytrade totaling $12.4 million as of September 30, 2011. A 100 basis point change in interest rates on this subordinated debt would result in $124,000 change in pre-tax earnings on an annual basis.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

        We are exposed to changes in the value of the Canadian dollar, the British pound and the Swiss franc. At the present time, we do not maintain any exchange rate derivatives or hedges related to foreign currencies.

Investments in Auction Rate Securities

        As of September 30, 2011, we had $71.1 million of investments in auction rate securities consisting of available-for-sale tax exempt auction rate securities that were all supported by student loans that were originated primarily under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Due to the illiquidity in the credit markets, auctions for these securities have generally failed. As a result, we do not consider these investments to be liquid investments and we will not be able to access these funds until such time as auctions for these securities are successful, buyers are found outside of the auction process, and/or the securities are redeemed by the issuer. Further details regarding these securities are included in Note 8 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 of this report and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources, both in this Form 10-Q.

        The valuation of these securities utilizes a mark-to-model approach that relies on discounted cash flows, market data and inputs that are derived from similar instruments. Based on this valuation, the unrealized holding loss against the cost basis in the investments at September 30, 2011 was $5.5 million. The unrealized holding loss has been reported in other comprehensive income and the impact of the unrealized holding loss is recorded in the net $71.1 million investment balance in auction rate securities. If the required rate of return we used in the calculation model was 100 basis points higher, the resulting holding loss would have been approximately $4.2 million higher. We may need to recognize either additional holding gains or losses in other comprehensive income or holding losses in net earnings should changes occur in either the conditions in the credit markets, the credit quality of the issuers, or in the variables considered in our valuation model.

        Upon a failed auction, the instrument carries an interest rate based upon certain predefined formulas. A 100 basis point change in the average rate of interest earned on these investments would result in a $7.7 million change in pre-tax income on an annual basis.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a)    Disclosure Controls and Procedures.    The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in (i) recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and (ii) ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)    Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.    Except as noted below, there have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

        In April 2010, CF completed its acquisition of Terra. We continue to integrate policies, processes, technology and operations for the combined company and will continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting as we complete our integration activities. Until the companies are fully integrated, we will maintain the operational integrity of each company's legacy internal controls over financial reporting.

        The Company is in the process of replacing various business information systems with an enterprise resource planning system from SAP. Implementation will occur over several years in phases. This activity involves the migration of multiple legacy systems and users to a common SAP information platform.

Exhibit 10.1

CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, effective as of August 22, 2011, is made by and between CF Industries Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Dennis P. Kelleher (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to the best interests of its stockholders to foster the continued employment of key management personnel; and

WHEREAS, the Board recognizes that the possibility of a Change in Control exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management, including the Executive, to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

1.Defined Terms.  The definitions of capitalized terms used in this Agreement are provided in the last Section hereof.

2.Term of Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective upon execution, and the Term shall continue in effect through December 31, 2012; provided, however, that commencing on January 1, 2012 and each January 1 thereafter, the Term shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless, not later than September 30 of the preceding year, the Company or the Executive shall have given notice not to extend the Term; and further provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall have occurred during the Term, the Term shall expire no earlier than twenty-four (24) months beyond the month in which such Change in Control occurred.

3.Company’s Covenants Summarized.  In order to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company and in consideration of the Executive’s covenants set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Company agrees, under the conditions described herein, to pay the Executive the Severance Payments and the other payments and benefits described herein.  Except as provided in Section 9.1 hereof, no Severance Payments shall be payable under this Agreement unless there shall have been (or, under the terms of the second sentence of Section 6.1 hereof, there shall be deemed to have been) a termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company following a Change in Control and during the Term.  This Agreement shall not be construed as

creating an express or implied contract of employment and, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive and the Company, the Executive shall not have any right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

4.The Executive’s Covenants.  The Executive agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event of a Potential Change in Control during the Term, the Executive will remain in the employ of the Company until the earliest of (i) a date which is six (6) months from the date of such Potential Change in Control, (ii) the date of a Change in Control, (iii) the date of termination by the Executive of the Executive’s employment for Good Reason or by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, or (iv) the termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment for any reason.

5.Compensation Other Than Severance Payments.

5.1Following a Change in Control and during the Term, during any period that the Executive fails to perform the Executive’s full-time duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Company shall pay the Executive’s full salary to the Executive at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Company during such period (other than any disability plan), until the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Disability.

5.2If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive’s full salary to the Executive through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, the rate in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive through the Date of Termination under the terms of the Company’s compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

5.3If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Executive’s normal post-termination compensation and benefits as such payments become due.  Such post-termination compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Company’s retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

6.Severance Payments.

6.1If the Executive’s employment is terminated following a Change in Control and during the Term, other than (A) by the Company for Cause, (B) by reason of death or Disability, or (C) by the Executive without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts, and provide the Executive the benefits, described in this Section 6.1 (“Severance Payments”) and Section 6.2, in addition to any payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Section 5 hereof.  For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, if (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and such termination was at the request or direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control, (ii) the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the request or direction of such Person, or (iii) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason and such termination or the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs).

(A)In lieu of any further salary payments to the Executive for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination and in lieu of any severance benefit otherwise payable to the Executive, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum severance payment, in cash, equal to two times the sum of (i) the Executive’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, and (ii) the Executive’s target annual bonus pursuant to any annual bonus or incentive plan maintained by the Company in respect of the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs or, if higher, the fiscal year in which the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason occurs.

(B)For thetwenty-four (24) month period immediately following the Date of Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive and his dependents life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, at no greater after tax cost to the Executive than the after tax cost to the Executive immediately prior to such date or occurrence; provided, however, that, unless the Executive consents to a different method, such health insurance benefits shall be provided through a third-party insurer.  Benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 6.1(B) shall be reduced to the

3

extent benefits of the same type are received by or made available to the Executive during the twenty-four (24) month period following the Executive’s termination of employment (and any such benefits received by or made available to the Executive shall be reported to the Company by the Executive); provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the excess, if any, of the after tax cost of such benefits to the Executive over such cost immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

(C)In addition to the benefits to which the Executive is entitled under each DC Pension Plan, the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the sum of (1) the amount that would have been contributed or allocated to each DC Pension Plan by the Company on the Executive’s behalf (without regard to whether such amount would be vested) during the two years immediately following the Date of Termination, determined (x) as if the Executive made the maximum permissible contributions thereto during such period, (y) as if the Executive earned compensation during such period at a rate equal to the Executive’s compensation (as defined in the DC Pension Plans) during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Date of Termination or, if higher, during the twelve months immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, and (z) without regard to any amendment to the DC Pension Plans made subsequent to a Change in Control and on or prior to the Date of Termination, which amendment adversely affects in any manner the computation of benefits thereunder and (2) all other amounts credited to the Executive’s account under each DC Pension Plan to the extent such amounts were unvested on the Date of Termination.

(D)If the Executive would have become entitled to benefits under the Company’s post-retirement health care or life insurance plans, as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, had the Executive’s employment terminated at any time during the period of twenty-four (24) months after the Date of Termination, the Company shall provide such post-retirement health care or life insurance benefits to the Executive and the Executive’s dependents commencing on the later of (i) the date on which such coverage would have first become available and (ii) the date on which benefits described in subsection (B) of this Section 6.1 terminate.  If the operation of this Section 6.1(D) would result in adverse tax consequences to the Executive as a result of the Executive’s participation in the Company’s post-retirement health care or life insurance plans, the Company shall instead provide substantially similar benefits and coverage through a third party insurer.

(E)The Company shall provide the Executive with outplacement services suitable to the Executive’s position for a period of two

4

years or, if earlier, until the first acceptance by the Executive of an offer of employment.

(F)Notwithstanding any provision of any annual or long-term incentive plan to the contrary, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum amount, in cash, equal to the sum of (i) any unpaid incentive compensation which has been allocated or awarded to the Executive for a completed fiscal year or other measuring period preceding the Date of Termination under any such plan and which, as of the Date of Termination, is contingent only upon the continued employment of the Executive to a subsequent date, and (ii) a pro rata portion to the Date of Termination of the aggregate value of all contingent incentive compensation awards to the Executive for all then uncompleted periods under any such plan, calculated as to each such award by multiplying the award that the Executive would have earned on the last day of the performance award period, assuming the achievement, at the target level (or, if greater, based on actual results to Date of Termination), of the individual and corporate performance goals established with respect to such award, by the fraction obtained by dividing the number of full months and any fractional portion of a month during such performance award period through the Date of Termination by the total number of months contained in such performance award period.

6.2(A)Whether or not the Executive becomes entitled to the Severance Payments, if any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive (including any payment or benefits received in connection with a Change in Control or the Executive’s termination of employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, excluding the Gross-Up Payment, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) will be subject to the Excise Tax, the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Total Payments and any federal, state and local income and employment taxes and Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment, and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments.

(B)For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) all of the Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” (within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) unless, in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) reasonably acceptable to the Executive and selected by the accounting firm which was, immediately prior to the Change in Control, the Company’s independent auditor (the “Auditor”), such payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, including by reason of section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code, (ii) all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of section 280G(b)(l) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax unless, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered (within the meaning of section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code) in excess of

5

the Base Amount allocable to such reasonable compensation, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (iii) the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Auditor in accordance with the principles of sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.  For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence on the Date of Termination (or if there is no Date of Termination, then the date on which the Gross-Up Payment is calculated for purposes of this Section 6.2), net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

(C)In the event that the Excise Tax is finally determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall repay to the Company, within five (5) business days following the time that the amount of such reduction in the Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus that portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal, state and local income and employment taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Executive), to the extent that such repayment results in a reduction in the Excise Tax and a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the Executive’s taxable income and wages for purposes of federal, state and local income and employment taxes, plus interest on the amount of such repayment at 120% of the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code.  In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Gross-Up Payment (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest, penalties or additions payable by the Executive with respect to such excess) within five (5) business days following the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.  The Executive and the Company shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to the Total Payments.

6.3The payments provided in subsections (A),(C) and (F) of Section 6.1 hereof and in Section 6.2 hereof shall be made not later than the fifth day following the date upon which the revocation period for the release described in Section 6.6 expires (or, with respect to the payment described in Section 6.2, if there is no Date of Termination, then the date on which the Gross-Up Payment is calculated for purposes of Section 6.2 hereof); provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Executive or, in the case of payments under Section 6.2 hereof, in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof, of the minimum amount of such payments to which the Executive is clearly entitled and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest on the unpaid remainder (or

6

on all such payments to the extent the Company fails to make such payments when due) at 120% of the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the Date of Termination.  In the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to the Executive, payable on the fifth (5th) business day after demand by the Company (together with interest at 120% of the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code).  At the time that payments are made under this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Executive with a written statement setting forth the manner in which such payments were calculated and the basis for such calculations including, without limitation, any opinions or other advice the Company has received from Tax Counsel, the Auditor or other advisors or consultants (and any such opinions or advice which are in writing shall be attached to the statement).  In the event necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued thereunder, (a) reimbursements to Executive as a result of the operation of Section 6.1(B) hereof shall be made not later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which the reimbursable expense is incurred and (b) if Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code), any reimbursements to Executive as a result of the operation of 6.1(B) hereof with respect to a reimbursable event within the first six months following the Date of Termination shall be made as soon as practicable following the date which is six months and one day following the Date of Termination (subject to clause (a) of this sentence).

6.4The Company also shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in disputing in good faith any issue hereunder relating to the termination of the Executive’s employment, in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement or in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder.  Such payments shall be made within five (5) business days after delivery of the Executive’s written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require.  The Executive’s reimbursement rights described in this Section 6.4 shall remain in effect for the Executive’s lifetime, provided, that, in order for the Executive to be entitled to reimbursement hereunder, the Executive must submit the written reimbursement request described above within 180 days following the date upon which the applicable expense is incurred.

6.5The Executive agrees that prior to and following the Date of Termination, he shall retain in confidence any confidential information known to him concerning the Company and its Affiliates and their respective businesses for as long as such information is not publicly disclosed.

6.6Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all compensation and benefits payable to Executive pursuant to this Section 6 (other than Sections 6.2 and 6.4) are conditioned on receipt by the Company of an executed release of claims by Executive in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and the expiration of any revocation period in

7

such release.  In order to be entitled to such compensation and benefits, the Executive must execute such release of claims within the consideration period described in paragraph (d) in the form of release attached hereto as Exhibit A.

7.Termination Procedures and Compensation During Dispute.

7.1Notice of Termination.  After a Change in Control and during the Term, any purported termination of the Executive’s employment (other than by reason of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination from one party hereto to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 10 hereof.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.  Further, a Notice of Termination for Cause is required to include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board which was called and held for the purpose of considering such termination (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of Cause herein, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

7.2Date of Termination.  “Date of Termination,” with respect to any purported termination of the Executive’s employment after a Change in Control and during the Term, shall mean (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of the Executive’s duties during such thirty (30) day period), and (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination by the Company, shall not be less than thirty (30) days (except in the case of a termination for Cause) and, in the case of a termination by the Executive, shall not be less than fifteen (15) days nor more than sixty (60) days, respectively, from the date such Notice of Termination is given).

7.3Dispute Concerning Termination.  If within fifteen (15) days after any Notice of Termination is given, or, if later, prior to the Date of Termination (as determined without regard to this Section 7.3), the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be extended until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Term ends or (ii) the date on which the dispute is finally resolved, either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by a final judgment, order or decree of an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction (which is not appealable or with respect to which the time for appeal therefrom has expired and no appeal has been perfected); provided, however, that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of dispute given by the Executive

8

only if such notice is given in good faith and the Executive pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence.

7.4Compensation During Dispute.  If a purported termination occurs following a Change in Control and during the Term and the Date of Termination is extended in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive the full compensation in effect when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to, salary) and continue the Executive as a participant in all compensation, benefit and insurance plans in which the Executive was participating when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given, until the Date of Termination, as determined in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof.  Amounts paid under this Section 7.4 are in addition to all other amounts due under this Agreement (other than those due under Section 5.2 hereof) and shall not be offset against or reduce any other amounts due under this Agreement.

8.No Mitigation.  The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates during the Term, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof or Section 7.4 hereof.  Further, except as specifically provided in Section 6.1(B) hereof, no payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

9.Successors; Binding Agreement.

9.1In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason after a Change in Control, except that, for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.

9.2This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.  If the Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of the Executive) if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the

9

terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal representatives or administrators of the Executive’s estate.

10.Notices.  For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to the Executive, to the address inserted below the Executive’s signature on the final page hereof and, if to the Company, to the address set forth below, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon actual receipt:

11.Miscellaneous.  No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer as may be specifically designated by the Board.  No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of any lack of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.  This Agreement supersedes any other agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof which have been made by either party (including, but not limited to, the previous version of this Agreement as it existed prior to the amendments referred to in the first paragraph hereof); provided, however, that this Agreement shall supersede any agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment with the Company only in the event that the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated on or following a Change in Control, by the Company other than for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason.  The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.  All references to sections of the Exchange Act or the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections.  Any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law and any additional withholding to which the Executive has agreed.  The obligations of the Company and the Executive under this Agreement which by their nature may require either partial or total performance after the expiration of the Term (including, without limitation, those under Sections 6 and 7 hereof) shall survive such expiration.

12.Validity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

13.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

14.Settlement of Disputes; Arbitration.  14.1 All claims by the Executive for benefits under this Agreement shall be directed to and determined by the Board and shall be in writing.  Any denial by the Board of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon.  The Board shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a review of the decision denying a claim and shall further allow the Executive to appeal to the Board a decision of the Board within sixty (60) days after notification by the Board that the Executive’s claim has been denied.  Notwithstanding the above,  in the event of any dispute, any decision by the Board hereunder shall be subject to a de novo review by the arbitrator.

14.2Any further dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Chicago, Illinois in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect; provided, however, that the evidentiary standards set forth in this Agreement shall apply.  Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the Executive’s right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

Credit Agreement

        On April 5, 2010, the Company, as a guarantor, and CF Industries, as borrower, entered into a $2.3 billion senior Credit Agreement with certain lenders, including Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (MSSF), and MSSF as agent for such lenders and as collateral agent (the Credit Agreement), which provided for multiple-draw term loans (Term Loans) of up to $2.0 billion (collectively, the Term Facility) through the date of the Merger (see Note 4—Terra Acquisition) and a revolving credit facility of up to $500 million (the Revolving Credit Facility). All loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on an applicable margin over LIBOR or a base rate. The Credit Agreement initially was to expire on April 5, 2015 (see the Amendment discussed below).

        CF Industries borrowed approximately $1.9 billion in the form of Term Loans to finance, in part, the acquisition of Terra; to refinance certain indebtedness of Terra and its subsidiaries; and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. In the second quarter of 2010, we repaid approximately $864.2 million of the Term Loan borrowings with proceeds from the issuance of the CF Industries senior notes described in this Note 19 under "Senior Notes due 2018 and 2020." In 2010, we also repaid an aggregate of $650 million of the Term Loan borrowings and, in the first quarter of 2011, we repaid the remaining balance of the Term Loan, both with cash from operations.

        On August 3, 2011, we completed an amendment (the Amendment) to the Credit Agreement to accomplish the following: increase the amounts of indebtedness permitted to be incurred under certain secured and unsecured indebtedness baskets which are not to exceed a percentage of consolidated total assets and, in certain cases, are subject to compliance with a maximum leverage ratio; permit certain investments if the Company is in compliance with a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio; and increase the amounts available in certain dividend and other restricted payment baskets. In addition, the Amendment extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement an additional year to 2016 and replaced the leverage based pricing with corporate credit ratings based pricing for both the commitment fee and interest rate margin.

        Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (subject to certain limitations). At September 30, 2011, there was $491.2 million of available credit under the Revolving Credit Facility (net of outstanding letters of credit), and there were no borrowings outstanding. The Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio and includes other customary terms and conditions, including negative covenants and events of default.

        The obligations of CF Industries under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the Guarantors). The obligations of CF Industries and the Guarantors under the Credit Agreement are secured by senior liens on substantially all of the assets of CF Industries and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The Amendment described above permits the release of liens on substantially all of the assets securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement if the Company obtains certain credit ratings from S&P and Moody's.

Senior Notes due 2018 and 2020

        On April 23, 2010, CF Industries issued $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due 2018 (the 2018 Notes) and $800 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% senior notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes and, together with the 2018 Notes, the Notes), which are guaranteed by the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company other than CF Industries.

        The 2018 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.875% per annum, payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1, mature on May 1, 2018 and are redeemable at CF Industries' option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a specified make-whole redemption price.

        The 2020 Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.125% per annum, payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1, mature on May 1, 2020 and are redeemable at CF Industries' option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a specified make-whole redemption price.

        The indentures governing the Notes contain customary events of default and covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, including CF Industries, to incur liens on certain properties to secure debt and that require CF Industries, in the event of specified changes of control involving the Company or CF Industries, to offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

        At September 30, 2011, the carrying value of the 2018 Notes and 2020 Notes was $1.6 billion and the fair value was approximately $1.8 billion.

Terra Senior Notes

        In February 2007, Terra issued $330 million of 7% Senior Notes due 2017 (2017 Notes). In October 2009, Terra repurchased approximately $317.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes in a tender offer and consent solicitation, and as a result, substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the 2017 Notes were eliminated. At September 30, 2011, the carrying value of the 2017 Notes that remain outstanding was $13.0 million, which approximates fair value.

Notes Payable

        From time to time, CFL receives advances from CF Industries and from CFL's noncontrolling interest holder to finance major capital expenditures. The advances outstanding are evidenced by unsecured promissory notes due December 30, 2011 and bear interest at market rates. The amount shown as notes payable represents the advances payable to CFL's noncontrolling interest holder. The carrying value of notes payable approximates their fair value.

Restructuring and Integration Costs

5.     Restructuring and Integration Costs

        During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred $0.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of restructuring and integration costs related to our acquisition of Terra. The restructuring costs relate to employee termination benefits. The integration costs relate to our incremental costs, such as consulting and other professional fees, directly related to integrating Terra.

        Our restructuring and integration costs consist of the following:

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
	(in millions)

Integration		0.2		4.9		2.1		13.1
Total	$	0.8	$	8.6	$	4.2	$	17.9

        In connection with the acquisition of Terra in 2010, our management approved a restructuring plan which involves the consolidation of our corporate headquarters, including the closure of our Sioux City, Iowa offices. The total expected cost of the plan is approximately $10 million, which includes employee termination costs associated with the elimination of approximately 105 positions. As of September 30, 2011, all of those employees had been notified that their positions have been or will be eliminated and we recognized a cumulative total of $9.0 million of related expenses. We expect to record the remaining employee termination costs by the end of 2011 based on the timing of planned terminations.

        The following table summarizes our restructuring activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

20.   Derivative Financial Instruments

        We use natural gas in the manufacture of nitrogen fertilizer products. We manage the risk of changes in gas prices through the use of physical gas supply contracts and derivative financial instruments covering periods of generally less than 18 months. We use natural gas derivative instruments primarily to lock in a substantial portion of our margin on sales under our Forward Pricing Program. Our natural gas acquisition policy also allows us to establish derivative positions that are associated with anticipated natural gas requirements unrelated to our Forward Pricing Program.

        The derivative instruments that we currently use are primarily natural gas swap contracts. These contracts settle using primarily a NYMEX futures price index, which represents fair value at any given time. The contracts are entered into with respect to gas to be consumed in the future and settlements are scheduled to coincide with anticipated gas purchases used to manufacture nitrogen products during those future periods.

        We report derivatives in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in their fair value recognized immediately in earnings, unless the normal purchase and sale exemption applies. We use natural gas derivatives primarily as an economic hedge of gas price risk, but without the application of hedge accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in cost of sales as the changes occur. Cash flows related to natural gas derivatives are reported as operating activities.

        The effect of derivatives in our consolidated statements of operations is shown below. All amounts arise from natural gas derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments, with resulting gains and losses recorded in cost of sales.

Net derivative losses	$	(29.9	)	$	(34.0	)	$	(52.1	)	$	(45.0	)

        The fair values of derivatives on our consolidated balance sheets are shown below. All amounts arise from natural gas derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. For additional information on derivative fair values, see Note 8—Fair Value Measurements.

Unrealized losses in other current liabilities		(24.5	)		(3.5	)
Net unrealized derivative gains (losses)	$	(24.5	)	$	3.1

        As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had open derivative contracts for 45.8 million MMBtus and 51.8 million MMBtus, respectively, of natural gas. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we used derivatives to cover approximately 61.9% of our natural gas consumption.

        Natural gas derivatives involve the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet the terms of the contracts. The counterparties to our natural gas derivatives are either large oil and gas companies or large financial institutions. Cash collateral is deposited with or received from counterparties when predetermined unrealized gain or loss thresholds are exceeded. At September 30, 2011, we had no cash collateral on deposit with counterparties for derivative contracts. At December 31, 2010, we had cash collateral of $2.6 million on deposit with derivative counterparties.

        As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value of the derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a net liability position was $24.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for which we had no cash collateral on deposit with these counterparties.

        For derivatives that are in net asset positions, we are exposed to credit loss from nonperformance by the counterparties. At September 30, 2011, we were not in a net asset position with any derivative counterparty. At December 31, 2010, our exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by counterparties to derivative instruments totaled $6.4 million. We control our credit risk through the use of multiple counterparties, individual credit limits, monitoring procedures, cash collateral requirements and master netting arrangements.

        The master netting arrangements with respect to our derivative instruments also contain credit-risk-related contingent features that require us to maintain a minimum net worth level and certain financial ratios. If we fail to meet these minimum requirements, the counterparties to derivative instruments that are in net liability positions could require daily cash settlement of unrealized losses or some other form of credit support.

Asset Retirement Obligations

18.   Asset Retirement Obligations

        AROs are legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of such assets. Our AROs are primarily associated with phosphogypsum stack systems and mine reclamation in Florida.

        The changes in our AROs from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011 are summarized below:

	(in millions)
Obligation at December 31, 2010	$	119.8
Accretion expense		6.5
Liabilities incurred		2.4
Expenditures		(4.2	)
Changes in estimate		2.0
Obligation at September 30, 2011	$	126.5

        Our phosphate operations in Florida are subject to regulations governing the construction, operation, closure and long-term maintenance of phosphogypsum stack systems and regulations concerning site reclamation for phosphate rock mines. Our liability for phosphogypsum stack costs includes the cost of stack closure at our Plant City, Florida phosphate fertilizer complex and the costs of cooling pond closure, post-closure monitoring, and ongoing water treatment at both Bartow and Plant City. The actual amounts to be spent will depend on factors such as the timing of activities, refinements in scope, technological developments, cost inflation and changes in regulations. It is possible that these factors could change at any time and impact the estimates. In addition to reclamation AROs arising from normal mining activity, AROs may increase in the future upon expansion of the Plant City phosphogypsum stack.

        AROs are reported in accrued expenses and other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, as follows:

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	(in millions)
Current portion	$	10.8	$	8.1
Noncurrent portion		115.7		111.7
	$	126.5	$	119.8

        Florida regulations require phosphate fertilizer companies to demonstrate financial assurance for the closure and maintenance of phosphogypsum stack systems, for mine reclamation activities, and for wetland and other surface water mitigation measures. As a means of complying with such regulations, we maintain an escrow account established for the benefit of the FDEP. In the first quarter of 2010, we made an annual contribution of $3.7 million to this account. No contribution was necessary in 2011. At September 30, 2011, the balance in this escrow account was $13.2 million.

        In the third quarter of 2010, we entered into a Consent Decree with the EPA and the FDEP (the Plant City Consent Decree) with respect to our Plant City phosphate fertilizer complex and its compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). In addition to requirements to modify certain operating practices and undertake certain capital improvement projects, the Plant City Consent Decree requires the Company to provide financial assurance with respect to its ability to fund the closure, long-term maintenance, and monitoring costs for the Plant City phosphogypsum stack, as well as any costs incurred to manage the water contained in the stack system upon closure. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2010 we established a trust for the benefit of the EPA and the FDEP, deposited $54.8 million into the trust and transferred $26.9 million from our previously established escrow account described above. At September 30, 2011 the balance in the trust was $81.8 million. In October 2011 we made an additional contribution of $50.4 million and we currently expect to deposit approximately the same amount in 2012, at which point the trust will be fully funded. Additional funding may be required in the future if increases in cost estimates exceed investment earnings in the trust.

        Prior to the Plant City Consent Decree, the Company's financial assurance requirements for the closure, long-term maintenance, and monitoring costs for the Plant City phosphogypsum stack system were determined solely by Florida regulations which would have required funding of the escrow account over a period of years. The Plant City Consent Decree described above effectively requires the Company to fund the greater of the requirements under the Plant City Consent Decree or Florida law, which may vary over time. We are still required under Florida law to maintain the existing Florida escrow account for the closure, long-term maintenance, and monitoring costs for the phosphogypsum stack system at our closed Bartow phosphate complex.

        Our 2011 consolidated pension funding contributions are estimated to be approximately $18.0 million, of which approximately $11.4 million was funded in the first nine months of 2011.

        In addition to our qualified defined benefit pension plans, we also maintain nonqualified supplemental pension plans for highly compensated employees as defined under federal law. The expense recognized for these plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was insignificant.

        We have defined contribution plans covering substantially all employees. Under these plans, we contribute a fixed percentage of base salary to employees' accounts and match employee contributions up to specified limits. We contributed $2.9 million and $8.7 million to the plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $3.7 million and $7.8 million to the plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

1.     Background and Basis of Presentation

        We are one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer products in the world. Our operations are organized into two business segments—the nitrogen segment and the phosphate segment. Our principal products in the nitrogen segment are ammonia, granular urea, urea ammonium nitrate solution (UAN) and ammonium nitrate (AN). Our other nitrogen products include urea liquor, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and aqua ammonia. Our principal products in the phosphate segment are diammonium phosphate (DAP) and monoammonium phosphate (MAP).

        Our core market and distribution facilities are concentrated in the midwestern United States and other major agricultural areas of the U.S. and Canada. We also export nitrogen fertilizer products from our Donaldsonville, Louisiana manufacturing facilities and phosphate fertilizer products from our Florida phosphate operations. In addition, we hold joint venture investments in production facilities in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and the United Kingdom and a fertilizer trading company near Zurich, Switzerland.

        The principal customers for both our nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers are cooperatives and independent fertilizer distributors.

        In April 2010, we acquired Terra Industries Inc. (Terra), a leading North American producer and marketer of nitrogen fertilizer products (See Note 4—Terra Acquisition). Accordingly, the results of Terra are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since April 2010.

        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, 2010, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

        These statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2011.

        The preparation of the unaudited interim financial statements requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and certain financial statement disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include net realizable value of inventories, the timing and ultimate settlement costs of asset retirement obligations, environmental remediation liabilities, environmental and litigation contingencies, the cost of sales incentives, useful lives of property and identifiable intangible assets, the evaluation of impairments of property, investments, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, income tax and valuation reserves, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, the measurement of the fair values of investments for which markets are not active, assumptions used in the determination of the funded status and annual expense of pension and postretirement employee benefit plans and the volatility and expected lives for stock compensation instruments granted to employees.

        All references to "CF Holdings," "the Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to CF Industries Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including CF Industries, Inc.

28. Subsequent Event

        On August 4, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase Company common stock for a total expenditure of up to $1.5 billion plus program expenses. Repurchases under this program were authorized to be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. During the third quarter of 2011, we repurchased approximately 5.6 million shares under the program for $878.4 million, of which $76.5 million was accrued but unpaid at September 30, 2011. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we repurchased an additional 0.9 million shares for $121.7 million, bringing the total shares repurchased to date under this program to 6.5 million at an aggregate cost of $1.0 billion.

Canadian Fertilizers Limited (CFL)

        CFL is a variable interest entity that owns a nitrogen fertilizer complex in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada and supplies fertilizer products to CF Industries and Viterra Inc. (Viterra). CF Industries owns 49% of CFL's voting common shares and 66% of CFL's nonvoting preferred shares. Viterra owns 34% of both the voting common stock and non-voting preferred stock of CFL. The remaining 17% of the voting common stock is owned by GROWMARK, Inc. (GROWMARK) and La Coop fédérée. CFL is a variable interest entity that we consolidate in our financial statements. CFL's Medicine Hat complex is the largest nitrogen fertilizer complex in Canada, with two world-scale ammonia plants, a world-scale urea plant and on-site storage facilities for both ammonia and urea.

        CFL's net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $182.5 million and $103.6 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $529.1 million and $323.1 million, respectively. CFL's assets and liabilities at September 30, 2011 were $392.5 million and $344.8 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2010 were $314.0 million and $263.8 million, respectively.

        CF Industries operates the Medicine Hat facility pursuant to a management agreement and purchases approximately 66% of the facility's ammonia and urea production pursuant to a product purchase agreement. Both the management agreement and the product purchase agreement can be terminated by either CF Industries or CFL upon a twelve-month notice. Viterra has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the remaining 34% of the facility's ammonia and urea production under a similar product purchase agreement. To the extent that Viterra does not purchase its 34% of the facility's production, CF Industries is obligated to purchase any remaining amounts. However, since 1995, Viterra has purchased at least 34% of the facility's production each year.

        Under the product purchase agreements, both CF Industries and Viterra pay the greater of operating cost or market price for purchases. The product purchase agreements also provide that CFL will distribute its net earnings to CF Industries and Viterra annually based on their respective quantities of product purchased from CFL. The distributions to Viterra are reported as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, as we consider these payments to be similar to dividends. While general creditors of CFL do not have direct recourse to the general credit of CF Industries, the product purchase agreement does require CF Industries to advance funds to CFL in the event that CFL is unable to meet its debts as they become due. The amount of each advance would be at least 66% of the deficiency and would be more in any year in which CF Industries purchased more than 66% of Medicine Hat's production. A similar obligation also exists for Viterra. CF Industries and Viterra currently manage CFL such that each party is responsible for its share of CFL's fixed costs and that CFL's production volume is managed to meet the parties' combined requirements. Based on the contractual arrangements, CF Industries is the primary beneficiary of CFL as CF Industries receives at least 66% of the economic risks and rewards of CFL.

        In accordance with CFL's governing agreements, CFL's earnings are available for distribution to its members based on approval by CFL's shareholders. A portion of the amounts reported as noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statement of operations represent Viterra's 34% interest in the distributed and undistributed earnings of CFL. A portion of the amounts reported as noncontrolling interest on our consolidated balance sheets represent the interests of Viterra and the holders of 17% of CFL's common shares.

        Because CFL's functional currency is the Canadian dollar, consolidation of CFL results in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, which is reported in other comprehensive income (loss).

Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNCLP)

        TNCLP is a master limited partnership that owns a nitrogen manufacturing facility in Verdigris, Oklahoma. We own an aggregate 75.3% of TNCLP through general and limited partnership interests. Outside investors own the remaining 24.7% of the limited partnership. For financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities and earnings of the partnership are consolidated into our financial statements. The outside investors' limited partnership interests in the partnership have been recorded as part of noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements. The noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling unitholders' interest in the equity of TNCLP. CF Industries is required to purchase all of TNCLP's fertilizer products at market prices as defined in the Amendment to the General and Administrative Services and Product Offtake Agreement, dated September 28, 2010.

        TNCLP makes cash distributions to the general and limited partners based upon formulas defined within its Agreement of Limited Partnership. Cash available for distribution is defined in the agreement generally as all cash receipts less all cash disbursements, less certain reserves (including reserves for future operating and capital needs) established as the general partner determines in its reasonable discretion to be necessary or appropriate. Changes in working capital impact available cash, as increases in the amount of cash invested in working capital items (such as accounts receivable or inventory) reduce available cash, while declines in the amount of cash invested in working capital increase available cash. Cash distributions to the limited partners and general partner vary depending on the extent to which the cumulative distributions exceed certain target threshold levels set forth in the Agreement of Limited Partnership.

        In each of the applicable quarters of 2011 and 2010, the minimum quarterly distributions were satisfied, which entitled us, as the general partner, to receive increased distributions on our general partner interests as provided for in the Agreement of Limited Partnership. The earnings attributed to our general partnership interest in excess of the threshold levels for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, were $158.6 million and $32.9 million, respectively.

        At September 30, 2011, Terra Nitrogen GP Inc. (TNGP), the general partner of TNCLP (and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CF Industries), and its affiliates owned 75.3% of TNCLP's outstanding units. When not more than 25% of TNCLP's issued and outstanding units are held by non-affiliates of TNGP, TNCLP, at TNGP's sole discretion, may call, or assign to TNGP or its affiliates, TNCLP's right to acquire all such outstanding units held by non-affiliated persons. If TNGP elects to acquire all outstanding units, TNCLP is required to give at least 30 but not more than 60 days notice of TNCLP's decision to purchase the outstanding units. The purchase price per unit will be the greater of (1) the average of the previous 20 trading days' closing prices as of the date five days before the purchase is announced or (2) the highest price paid by TNGP or any of its affiliates for any unit within the 90 days preceding the date the purchase is announced.

	Total liabilities at fair value	$	3.5	$	—	$	3.5	$	—

        Following is a summary of the valuation techniques for assets and liabilities recorded in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of U.S. Treasury Bills with original maturities of three months or less and money market mutual funds that invest in U.S. government obligations.

Short-term Investments

        At December 31, 2010, our short-term investments consisted of a Canadian Treasury Bill with an original maturity of twelve months.

Natural Gas Derivatives

        The derivative instruments that we currently use are primarily natural gas swap contracts. These contracts settle using primarily a NYMEX futures price index, which represents the basis for fair value at any given time. The contracts are traded in months forward and settlements are scheduled to coincide with anticipated gas purchases during those future periods. Quoted market prices are observable inputs used to determine the fair value of these instruments. See Note 20—Derivative Financial Instruments, for additional information.

Asset Retirement Obligation Funds

        In order to meet financial assurance requirements associated with certain asset retirement obligations (AROs) in Florida, we maintain investments in an escrow account established for the benefit of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and a trust established to comply with a Consent Decree entered in the third quarter of 2010 with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the FDEP. The investments in the trust and escrow account are accounted for as available-for-sale securities. The fair values of these are based upon daily quoted prices representing the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the investments. See Note 18—Asset Retirement Obligations, for additional information regarding the trust and escrow account. The fair values of the ARO funds approximate their cost bases.

Investments in Auction Rate Securities

        Auction rate securities (ARS) are primarily debt instruments with long-term maturities for which interest rates are expected to be reset periodically through an auction process, which occurred every 7 to 35 days. Because the traditional auction process for ARS generally has failed since early 2008, these securities are illiquid and we are not able to access the remaining funds until such time as an auction for these securities is successful, buyers are found outside the auction process, and/or the securities are redeemed by the issuer. During the third quarter of 2011, $9.2 million of our ARS were either sold or redeemed at par value.

        As a result of the continuing market illiquidity and our judgment regarding the period of time that may elapse until the traditional auction process resumes or other effective market trading mechanisms develop, we have classified these investments as noncurrent assets on our consolidated balance sheets. These ARS have maturities that range up to 36 years. As of September 30, 2011, the carrying values by range of maturity are as follows:

	(in millions)
Less than 1 year	$	—
1 year up to 20 years		4.8
20 years up to 30 years		47.1
30 years up to 36 years		19.2
	$	71.1

        We currently intend to hold our ARS until a market recovery occurs and, based on our current liquidity position, we do not believe it is likely that we will need to sell these securities prior to their recovery in value. Therefore, we expect to recover our amortized cost basis in the investments. As a result, our unrealized holding loss on these securities is classified as a temporary impairment and is reported in other comprehensive income (loss).

        Our auction rate securities are accounted for as noncurrent available-for-sale securities. We are unable to use significant observable (Level 1 or Level 2) inputs to value these investments. Therefore, we use a mark-to-model approach that relies on discounted cash flows, market data and inputs derived from similar instruments to arrive at the fair value of these instruments. This model takes into account, among other variables, the base interest rate, credit spreads, downgrade risks and default/recovery risk, the estimated time required to work out the disruption in the traditional auction process and its effect on liquidity, and the effects of insurance and other credit enhancements. Due to the significant number of unobservable inputs that were used to value our auction rate securities, they are classified as Level 3 for purposes of the fair value disclosure requirements.

Nonqualified Employee Benefit Trusts

        We maintain trusts associated with certain deferred compensation related to nonqualified employee benefits. The investments are accounted for as available-for-sale securities. The fair values of the trusts are based on daily quoted prices representing the NAV of the investments.

Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

        The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in our consolidated balance sheet for our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). These assets currently consist of our investments in ARS. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset. It is reasonably possible that a change in the estimated fair value for instruments measured using Level 3 inputs could occur in the future.

Segment Disclosures

25.   Segment Disclosures

        We are organized and managed based on two segments, which are differentiated primarily by their products, the markets they serve and the regulatory environments in which they operate. Our two segments are the nitrogen segment and the phosphate segment. The Company's management uses gross margin to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Total other operating costs and expenses (consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses, restructuring and integration costs and other operating-net) and non-operating expenses (interest and income taxes), are centrally managed and are not included in the measurement of segment profitability reviewed by management.

Litigation

        From time to time, we are subject to ordinary, routine legal proceedings related to the usual conduct of our business, including proceedings regarding public utility and transportation rates, environmental matters, taxes and permits relating to the operations of our various plants and facilities. Based on the information available as of the date of this filing, we believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Environmental

Florida Environmental Matters

Clean Air Act Investigation.

        On March 19, 2007, the Company received a letter from the EPA under Section 114 of the Federal Clean Air Act requesting information and copies of records relating to compliance with New Source Review, New Source Performance Standards, and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants at the Plant City facility. The Company provided the requested information to the EPA in late 2007. The EPA initiated this same process in relation to numerous other sulfuric acid plants and phosphoric acid plants throughout the nation, including other facilities in Florida.

        The Company received a Notice of Violation (NOV) from the EPA by letter dated June 16, 2010. The NOV alleges the Company violated the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Clean Air Act regulations relating to certain projects undertaken at the Plant City facility's sulfuric acid plants. This NOV further alleges that the actions that are the basis for the alleged PSD violations also resulted in violations of Title V air operating permit regulations. Finally, the NOV alleges that the Company failed to comply with certain compliance dates established by hazardous air pollutant regulations for phosphoric acid manufacturing plants and phosphate fertilizer production plants. The Company has had an initial meeting with the EPA to discuss these alleged violations. The Company does not know at this time if it will settle this matter prior to initiation of formal legal action.

        We cannot estimate the potential penalties, fines or other expenditures, if any, that may result from the Clean Air Act NOV and, therefore, we cannot determine if the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

EPCRA/CERCLA Investigation.

        Pursuant to a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) dated July 28, 2008 that was sent to representatives of the major U.S. phosphoric acid manufacturers, including CF Industries, the DOJ stated that it and the EPA believe that apparent violations of Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), which requires annual reports to be submitted with respect to the use of certain toxic chemicals, have occurred at all of the phosphoric acid facilities operated by these manufacturers. The letter also states that the DOJ and the EPA believe that most of these facilities have violated Section 304 of EPCRA and Section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) by failing to provide required notifications relating to the release of hydrogen fluoride from these facilities. The letter did not specifically identify alleged violations at our Plant City, Florida complex or assert a claim for a specific amount of penalties. The EPA submitted an information request to the Company on February 11, 2009, as a follow-up to the July 2008 letter. The Company provided information in response to the agency's inquiry on May 14 and May 29, 2009.

        By letter dated July 6, 2010, the EPA issued a NOV to the Company alleging violations of EPCRA and CERCLA. The Company has had an initial meeting with the EPA to discuss these alleged violations. The Company does not know at this time if it will settle this matter prior to initiation of formal legal action.

        We do not expect that penalties or fines, if any, that may arise out of the EPCRA/CERCLA matter will have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Challenge to Federal Numeric Nutrient Criteria Regulation.

        On August 18, 2009, the EPA entered into a consent decree with environmental groups with respect to the promulgation of numeric criteria for nitrogen and phosphorous in surface waters in Florida. The consent decree was approved by a federal district court judge on November 16, 2009. The EPA adopted final numeric nutrient criteria for lakes and inland flowing waters on November 14, 2010, which criteria will become effective March 6, 2012. The EPA intends to propose numeric nutrient criteria for coastal and estuarine waters in March 2012, and finalize such criteria in November of that year. The final numeric water quality criteria for lakes and inland flowing waters are substantially lower than water quality criteria that have been developed and applied in Florida on a case-by-case basis. CF Industries, along with the State of Florida, local wastewater utilities, other industrial entities (including other fertilizer manufacturers) and environmental groups, have filed suit in federal district court in Florida challenging the regulation.

        If the EPA's numeric nutrient criteria regulation is upheld, we could be subject to more stringent waste water discharge limits for our mining, manufacturing and distribution operations in Florida. The specific limits imposed on wastewater discharges from our facilities will depend not only on the adopted criteria but also specific permit conditions to be developed that are consistent with these criteria. More stringent limits could increase our costs and/or limit our operations and, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Louisiana Environmental Matters

Clean Air Act—Section 185 Fee.

        Our Donaldsonville Nitrogen Complex is located in a five-parish region near Baton Rouge, Louisiana that, as of 2005, was designated as being in "severe" nonattainment with respect to the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for ozone (the 1-hour ozone standard) pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (the Act). Section 185 of the Act requires states, in their state implementation plans, to levy a fee (Section 185 fee) on major stationary sources (such as the Donaldsonville facility) located in a severe nonattainment area that did not meet the 1-hour ozone standard by November 30, 2005. The fee was to be assessed for each calendar year (beginning in 2006) until the area achieved compliance with the ozone NAAQS.

        Prior to the imposition of Section 185 fees, the EPA adopted a new ozone standard (the 8-hour ozone standard) and rescinded the 1-hour ozone standard. The Baton Rouge area was designated as a "moderate" nonattainment area with respect to the 8-hour ozone standard. However, because Section 185 fees had never been assessed prior to the rescission of the 1-hour ozone standard (rescinded prior to the November 30, 2005 ozone attainment deadline), the EPA concluded in a 2004 rulemaking implementing the 8-hour ozone standard that the Act did not require states to assess Section 185 fees. As a result, Section 185 fees were not assessed against CF Industries and other companies located in the Baton Rouge area.

        In 2006, the federal D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the EPA's position and held that Section 185 fees were controls that must be maintained and fees should have been assessed under the Act. In January 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to accept the case for review, making the appellate court's decision final.

        In July 2011, the EPA approved a revision to Louisiana's air pollution program that eliminated the requirement for Baton Rouge area companies to pay Section 185 fees, based on Baton Rouge's ultimate attainment of the 1-hour standard through permanent and enforceable emissions reductions. EPA's approval of the Louisiana air program revision is effective August 8, 2011. However, a recent decision by the federal D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a similar, but perhaps distinguishable, EPA guidance document regarding alternatives to Section 185 fees. At this time, the viability of EPA's approval of Louisiana's elimination of Section 185 fees is uncertain. Regardless of the approach ultimately adopted by the EPA, we expect that it is likely to be challenged by the environmental community, the states, and/or affected industries. Therefore, the costs associated with compliance with the Act cannot be determined at this time, and we cannot reasonably estimate the impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Clean Air Act Information Request.

        On February 26, 2009, the Company received a letter from the EPA under Section 114 of the Act requesting information and copies of records relating to compliance with New Source Review and New Source Performance Standards at the Donaldsonville facility. The Company has completed the submittal of all requested information. There has been no further contact from the EPA regarding this matter.

Other

CERCLA/Remediation Matters.

        From time to time, we receive notices from governmental agencies or third parties alleging that we are a potentially responsible party at certain cleanup sites under CERCLA or other environmental cleanup laws. In 2002 and in 2009, we were asked by the current owner of a former phosphate mine and processing facility that we are alleged to have operated in the late 1950s and early 1960s located in Georgetown Canyon, Idaho, to contribute to a remediation of this property. We declined to participate in the cleanup. It is our understanding that the current owner conducted a cleanup of the processing portion of the site pursuant to a Consent Judgment with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ). The current could bring a lawsuit against us seeking contribution to the cleanup costs, although we do not have sufficient information to determine whether or when such a lawsuit will be brought. In 2011, we and the current owner received a notice from IDEQ that alleged that we and the current owner were potentially responsible parties for the cleanup of the mine portion of the site. IDEQ requested from each party an indication of its willingness to enter into negotiations for an investigation of the mine portion of the site. The current owner indicated a willingness to negotiate. While reserving all rights and not admitting liability, we also indicated a willingness to negotiate. We are not able to estimate at this time our potential liability, if any, with respect to the remediation of this property. Based on currently available information, we do not expect that any remedial or financial obligations we may be subject to involving this or other sites will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards

3.     New Accounting Standards

        Following are summaries of accounting pronouncements that either were adopted recently or may become applicable to our consolidated financial statements. It should be noted that the accounting standards references provided below reflect the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), and related Accounting Standards Updates (ASU).

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

        In January 2010, the FASB issued a standard pertaining to fair value disclosures (ASU No. 2010-06) that requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, to describe the reasons for the transfers, and to disclose certain additional information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements. This standard also requires an entity to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 items. The standard became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the Level 3 disclosure of activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. We adopted the level 3 disclosure requirements of this standard as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In July 2010, the FASB issued a standard to modify the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its receivables and the related allowance for credit losses (ASU No. 2010-20). The standard requires an entity to provide greater information about the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity's portfolio of financing receivables, how the risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. As a result, both new and previous disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment or class based on how a company develops its allowance for credit losses and how it manages its credit exposure. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2010, the FASB issued a standard that pertains to business combinations (ASU No. 2010-29) that requires a public entity that presents comparative financial statements to disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurs during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. Additionally, the standard expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. We adopted this standard as of December 31, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2010, the FASB issued a standard that pertains to stock compensation (ASU No. 2010-13) which clarifies that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Pronouncements

        In May 2011, the FASB issued a standard that is intended to improve comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards (ASU No. 2011-04). This standard clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements including (1) the application of the highest and best use valuation premise, (2) the methodology to measure the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's stockholders' equity, (3) disclosure requirements for quantitative information on Level 3 fair value measurements and (4) guidance on measuring the fair value of financial instruments managed within a portfolio. In addition, the standard requires additional disclosures of the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs for Level 3 securities. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2011, the FASB issued a standard that pertains to the presentation of comprehensive income (ASU No. 2011-05). This standard requires that comprehensive income be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The standard also requires entities to disclose on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net earnings. This standard no longer allows companies to present components of other comprehensive income only in the statement of equity. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In September 2011, the FASB issued a standard to simplify the process for determining goodwill impairment (ASU No. 2011-08). This standard gives an entity the option, as a first step, to assess qualitative factors in determining whether a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test must be performed. If an assessment of qualitative factors leads to a determination that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step test is deemed unnecessary. This standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

21.   Stock-Based Compensation

        We grant stock-based compensation awards under the CF Industries Holdings, Inc. 2009 Equity and Incentive Plan (Plan). The awards granted to date are nonqualified stock options and restricted stock. The cost of employee services received in exchange for the awards is measured based on the fair value of the award on the grant date and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee is required to provide the services.

        A summary of current year stock option activity under the Plan through September 30, 2011 is presented below:

	Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)
Outstanding at January 1, 2011		1,737,062		$	36.14	$	172.0
Granted		124,810			151.39		—

Forfeited		(4,883	)		88.66		—
Outstanding at September 30, 2011		1,271,389			52.53		93.7
Exercisable at September 30, 2011		959,741			34.52		85.4

        Cash received from stock option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $14.5 million.

        A summary of current year restricted stock activity under the Plan through September 30, 2011 is presented below:

	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2011		109,602		$	84.46
Granted		34,934			150.64
Restrictions lapsed (vested)		(26,925	)		104.41
Forfeited		(600	)		81.30
Outstanding at September 30, 2011		117,011			99.64

        Stock-based compensation cost is recorded primarily in selling, general and administrative expense. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation costs and related income tax benefits:

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
	(in millions)
Stock-based compensation expense	$	2.6		$	1.8		$	7.3		$	5.6
Income tax benefit		(1.0	)		(0.7	)		(2.7	)		(2.1	)
Stock-based compensation expense, net of income taxes	$	1.6		$	1.1		$	4.6		$	3.5

        As of September 30, 2011, pre-tax unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, was $12.4 million for stock options, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years, and $6.9 million for restricted stock, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

        An excess tax benefit is generated when the realized tax benefit from the vesting of restricted stock, or a stock option exercise, exceeds the previously recognized deferred tax asset. Excess tax benefits are required to be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid. Excess tax benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $7.2 million and $25.7 million, respectively.

        In addition to the foregoing, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for TNCLP phantom units provided to non-employee directors of TNGP.

        During the third quarter of 2011, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $35.1 million related to the methanol plant at our Woodward, Oklahoma nitrogen complex. The Woodward complex was acquired in the Terra acquisition and can produce nitrogen fertilizers and methanol. Based on a strategic review that was completed in the third quarter of 2011, the Woodward complex will focus on fertilizer production. As a result, management approved the permanent shutdown and removal of the methanol plant, and we recognized the impairment charge. The expense is included in the first line of the table above.

        In February 2011, we sold four of our owned dry product warehouses to GROWMARK and realized a pre-tax gain of $32.5 million, which is included in the first line in the table above. For further information on the sale of dry product warehouses, see Note 26—Related Party Transactions.

        Business combination costs include expenses associated with the Terra acquisition, including the $123 million termination fee that was paid on behalf of Terra to Yara International ASA. For additional discussion of the Terra acquisition, see Note 4—Terra Acquisition.

        Bartow costs consist of provisions for AROs and site maintenance costs at our closed phosphate fertilizer facility in Bartow, Florida. The AROs involve costs of closure and post-closure maintenance and monitoring for the phosphogypsum stack and cooling pond, and water treatment costs. For additional information on our AROs, see Note 18—Asset Retirement Obligations.

Terra Acquisition

Terra Acquisition

4.     Terra Acquisition

        In April of 2010, we completed the acquisition of Terra through the merger of Composite Merger Corporation, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary (Composite), with and into Terra pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 12, 2010 among CF Holdings, Composite and Terra (the Merger Agreement). As a result of the merger, Terra became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of Terra has made the Company a global leader in the nitrogen fertilizer industry, diversified our asset base and increased our geographic reach and operational efficiency, and significantly increased our scale and capital market presence.

        Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Terra common stock was converted into the right to receive $37.15 in cash and 0.0953 of a share of CF Holdings common stock pursuant to an exchange offer and second-step merger (the Merger). CF Holdings issued an aggregate of 9.5 million shares of its common stock with a fair value of $882 million and paid an aggregate of $3.2 billion in cash, net of $0.5 billion cash acquired, for 100% of Terra's common stock.

        We funded the cash requirements of the acquisition with cash on hand and with $1.75 billion of borrowings under a senior secured bridge facility and approximately $1.9 billion of borrowings under a senior secured term loan facility that provided for up to $2.0 billion of borrowings. On April 21, 2010, CF Holdings completed a public offering of approximately 12.9 million shares of common stock at $89.00 per share. The proceeds of $1.1 billion, net of underwriting discounts and customary fees, were used to repay a portion of the senior secured bridge facility. On April 23, 2010, CF Industries completed a public offering of senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1.6 billion. Approximately $645.2 million of the net proceeds of the offering were used to repay in full the remaining outstanding borrowings under the senior secured bridge facility. We used the remaining proceeds from the offering to repay approximately $864.2 million of the senior secured term loan facility. In May 2010, we redeemed Terra's 7.75% senior notes due 2019 for $744.5 million and recognized a $17 million loss on the early extinguishment of that debt. See Note 19—Financing Agreements, for further information regarding these financing arrangements.

        The following table summarizes the allocation of the $4.6 billion purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Terra on April 5, 2010. During the measurement period that ended on March 31, 2011, net adjustments of $31.9 million were made to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price recorded in the second quarter of 2010, and the net adjustments, are shown below. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2010 was retrospectively adjusted to reflect these adjustments as required by the accounting guidance for business combinations. No further adjustments have been made to the purchase price allocation since March 31, 2011.

Income Taxes

14.   Income Taxes

        Our income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $184.9 million on pre-tax income of $550.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 33.6%, compared to an income tax provision of $18.9 million on pre-tax income of $79.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 23.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2011 based on pre-tax income exclusive of earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest was 37.1% compared to 33.6% in the third quarter 2010. The increase in this rate was due primarily to the establishment of a $13.1 million valuation allowance on certain state tax credits, higher taxes on certain foreign operations and the impact of a lower U.S. manufacturing profits deduction, partially offset by the impact of non-deductible acquisition costs in the prior year. The effective tax rate based on pre-tax income differs from our effective tax rate based on pre-tax income exclusive of earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, as our consolidated income tax provision does not include tax provisions on the earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in TNCLP and CFL, which record no income tax provisions.

        Our unrecognized tax benefits have decreased by $4.4 million to $118.8 million at September 30, 2011 principally as the result of the completion of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination in the three months ended June 30, 2011. The IRS has allowed the utilization of pre-IPO net operating loss carryforwards, thereby sustaining tax return positions taken in prior years. The amount of our unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2011 which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate has been reduced by $5.9 million to $46.0 million.

        For additional information concerning the income tax matters noted above, see Note 16—Income Taxes, to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2011.

        Equity method investments consist of the following:

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	(in millions)
Operating equity method investments	$	424.1	$	421.7
Non-operating equity method investments		561.8		555.4
Investments in and advances to affiliates	$	985.9	$	977.1

Operating Equity Method Investments

        Our equity method investments included in operating earnings consist of: (1) a 50% ownership interest in Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited (PLNL), which operates an ammonia production facility in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago; and (2) a 50% interest in an ammonia storage joint venture located in Houston, Texas. We include our share of the net earnings from these investments as an element of earnings from operations because these operations provide additional production and storage capacity to our operations and are integrated with our other supply chain and sales activities in the nitrogen segment.

        The combined results of operations and financial position for our operating equity method investments are summarized below:

		Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
		2011		2010		2011		2010
		(in millions)
Condensed statement of operations information:
	Net sales	$	116.4	$	57.0	$	272.7	$	93.4
	Net earnings	$	39.8	$	18.5	$	93.5	$	24.7
	Equity in earnings of operating affiliates	$	15.0	$	5.7	$	40.7	$	7.2

			September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
			(in millions)
Condensed balance sheet information:
	Current assets		$	142.9	$	120.6
	Long-term assets			148.9		147.4
		Total assets	$	291.8	$	268.0
	Current liabilities		$	47.4	$	33.0
	Long-term liabilities			18.4		26.0
	Equity			226.0		209.0
		Total liabilities and equity	$	291.8	$	268.0

        The carrying value of these investments at September 30, 2011 was $424.1 million, which was $311.1 million more than our share of the affiliates' book value. The excess is primarily attributable to the revaluation of property, plant and equipment, the value of an exclusive natural gas contract and goodwill. The increased basis for property, plant and equipment and the gas contract are being depreciated over a remaining period of approximately 22 years and 12 years, respectively. Our equity in earnings of operating affiliates is different from our ownership interest in income reported by the unconsolidated subsidiaries due to amortization of basis differences.

        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. We purchased approximately $122.2 million and $44.5 million of ammonia from PLNL for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

        At September 30, 2011, the amount of our consolidated retained earnings that represents our undistributed earnings of operating equity method investments is insignificant.

Non-Operating Equity Method Investments

        Our non-operating equity method investments consist of: (1) a 50% ownership of KEYTRADE AG (Keytrade), a fertilizer trading company headquartered near Zurich, Switzerland; and (2) a 50% ownership in GrowHow UK Limited (GrowHow), which operates nitrogen production facilities in the United Kingdom. We account for these investments as non-operating equity method investments, and do not include the net earnings of these investments in earnings from operations since these operations do not provide additional capacity to us, nor are these operations integrated within our supply chain. GrowHow is a joint venture between us and Yara International ASA.

        The combined results of operations and financial position of our non-operating equity method investments are summarized below:

		Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
		2011		2010		2011		2010
		(in millions)
Condensed statement of operations information:
	Net sales	$	896.8	$	534.4	$	2,178.2	$	1,138.3

	Equity in earnings of non-operating affiliates—net of taxes	$	16.7	$	10.8	$	35.0	$	15.7

	Long-term liabilities			113.9		117.6
	Equity			393.6		242.4
		Total liabilities and equity	$	974.3	$	734.6

        In conjunction with our investment in Keytrade, we provided financing to Keytrade in the form of subordinated notes that mature on September 30, 2017 and bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.00 percent. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the amount of the outstanding advances to Keytrade on our consolidated balance sheets was $12.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recognized interest income on advances to Keytrade of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The carrying value of our advances to Keytrade approximates fair value.

        Excluding the advances to Keytrade, the carrying value of our non-operating equity method investments at September 30, 2011 was $549.4 million, which was $352.6 million more than our share of the affiliates' book value. The excess is primarily attributable to the impact of our acquisition of Terra and reflects primarily the revaluation of property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangibles and goodwill. The increased basis for property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangibles are being depreciated over remaining periods ranging from 2 to 14 years. Our equity in earnings of non-operating affiliates-net of taxes is different than our ownership interest in their net earnings due to the amortization of basis differences.

        At September 30, 2011, the amount of our consolidated retained earnings that represents our undistributed earnings of non-operating equity method investments is $45.7 million.

Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

27.   Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

        The following condensed consolidating financial information is presented in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-10, Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered, in connection with the debt securities issued by CF Industries, Inc. (CFI) and full and unconditional guarantees of such debt securities by CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (Parent) and certain 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries of CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (the Guarantor Subsidiaries). The guarantees are joint and several. The subsidiaries of the Parent other than CFI and the Guarantor Subsidiaries are referred to below as "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries."

        Presented below are condensed consolidating statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the Parent, CFI, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and condensed consolidating balance sheets for the Parent, CFI, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The investments in subsidiaries in these consolidating financial statements are presented on the equity method. Under this method, our investments are recorded at cost and adjusted for our ownership share of a subsidiary's cumulative results of operations, distributions and other equity changes. The eliminating entries reflect primarily intercompany transactions such as sales, accounts receivable and accounts payable and the elimination of equity investments and earnings of subsidiaries. The condensed financial information presented below is not necessarily indicative of the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Parent, CFI, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis.

        At December 31, 2010, our condensed, consolidating balance sheet contained in our annual report on Form 10-K included certain amounts that were reported in incorrect line items, as described below:

• •

  The Guarantor Subsidiaries column includes an intercompany receivable of $1,409.4 million reported in the current asset line "Deferred income taxes" that should have been reported in the noncurrent asset line "Due from affiliates."

  •

  The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column reflects a distribution of TNCLP earnings of $105.0 million reported in the line "Paid-in capital" that should have been reported in the line "Retained earnings."

        In both cases, offsetting incorrect amounts were reported in the Eliminations column. There was no impact on total assets reported in the Guarantor Subsidiaries column and no impact on any assets reported in the Consolidated column, as the accounts are eliminated in consolidation. We have corrected the errors, which we deem to be immaterial, in the condensed, consolidating balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 shown above.
