Non-GAAP Reconciliation – EBITDA EBITDA is defined as net earnings attributable to common stockholders plus interest income—net, income taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Loan fee amortization is subtracted in the calculation of EBITDA to adjust for amounts included in both interest and amortization. We have presented EBITDA because management uses the measure to track performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA is not a measure of our financial performance or financial position under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. The table below provides a reconciliation of unaudited pro forma net earnings to pro forma EBITDA for CF Industries: PF 2009 (in millions) Net earnings attributable to common stockholders 357.2 $ Interest income (2.8) Interest expense 347.3 Income taxes 213.4 Depreciation, amortization and depletion 195.6 Loan amortization fees (0.5) EBITDA 1,110.2 $ 

 


Non-GAAP Reconciliation – Net Debt Net Debt is defined as Total Debt plus Customer Advances less Cash and Cash Equivalents.

Net Debt is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Net Debt is not a measure of our financial performance or financial position under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Total Debt, Cash and Cash equivalents or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
