CF Industries Holdings, Inc. today reported second quarter 2012 net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $606.3 million, or $9.31 per diluted share, compared to earnings of $487.4 million, or $6.75 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011.  Second quarter results included a $77.6 million non-cash pre-tax mark-to-market gain on natural gas derivatives and $15.2 million of accelerated amortization of capitalized financing fees related to the termination of a prior credit facility.  These items increased/(decreased) after-tax earnings per diluted share by $0.74 and ($0.14), respectively.  Share repurchases during the quarter decreased weighted-average shares outstanding by two percent, increasing after-tax earnings per diluted share by $0.19. Second quarter 2011 results included a $14.2 million non-cash mark-to-market loss on natural gas derivatives.

EBITDA was $1,054.4 million in the second quarter of 2012, an increase of 19 percent compared to $889.2 million in the second quarter of 2011.  EBITDA, net earnings attributable to common stockholders, and net earnings per diluted share all were at record levels for any quarter.

Net sales in the second quarter were $1.7 billion, down four percent from $1.8 billion in the same period last year primarily due to lower volumes and phosphate product prices, which were offset partially by higher average price realizations across most nitrogen products.  Total sales volume decreased from 4.3 million tons in the 2011 second quarter to 4.0 million tons in 2012 largely due to the early application season, which pulled some spring demand into the first quarter of 2012.  Lower phosphate product prices resulted from lower global demand relative to the same period last year, while higher nitrogen product prices reflected strong spring demand and tight inventory levels throughout the North American distribution chain.

“A very favorable industry environment and excellent execution enabled us to realize the highest EBITDA, earnings and earnings per share for any quarter,” said Stephen R. Wilson, chairman and chief executive officer, CF Industries Holdings, Inc. “Additionally, the first half of 2012 was the strongest in CF Industries’ history.  The company successfully capitalized on robust crop nutrient demand and a favorable pricing environment to set first-half records for shipments, revenues and profitability.”

High planted acres and mild spring weather that created favorable field conditions set the stage for strong demand for all forms of nitrogen.  Wholesalers and retailers had delayed their early

2

season purchases which, combined with the eventual strong demand and low imports, led to tight industry-wide inventories.

Nitrogen prices were very strong at the beginning of the quarter due to the favorable supply/demand balance.  However, as spring field work concluded, nitrogen prices experienced their normal end of season decline.  Phosphate pricing favored export sales as the domestic market continued to be affected by distributor inventory carryover.

CF Industries’ extensive storage and distribution network continued to be a differentiating asset that enabled the company to serve its customers effectively.  The flexibility of the system and focus of the company’s employees on meeting customer commitments helped CF Industries establish several records for product shipments, including a record for ammonia shipments through CF Industries’ terminals of 1.4 million tons for the fertilizer year ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 1.3 million tons the prior year.  With a focus on maximizing the logistical efficiency of its distribution assets, the company was able to move product quickly into the market.

Six Month Results

For the first six months of 2012, net earnings attributable to common stockholders were a record $974.7 million, or $14.81 per diluted share, compared to $769.4 million, or $10.66 per diluted share, in the same period of 2011.  First half 2012 EBITDA of a record $1.8 billion increased 19 percent compared to $1.5 billion in the first half of 2011.  Six month results for 2012 included a $21.7 million non-cash, mark-to-market gain on natural gas derivatives and $15.2 million of accelerated amortization of capitalized financing fees related to the termination of the company’s prior credit facility.  These items increased/(decreased) after-tax earnings per diluted share by $0.20 and ($0.14), respectively.  Share repurchases under the August 2011 program made during the third and fourth quarters of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012 decreased weighted-average shares outstanding by 10 percent, which increased year-to-date after-tax earnings per diluted share by $1.46.

Net sales for the first six months of 2012 were a record $3.3 billion, up 10 percent from $3.0 billion in the same period of 2011.  The increase resulted from higher sales volumes for both the nitrogen and phosphate segments and higher average price realizations for all nitrogen products.  Nitrogen segment sales volume was 6.7 million tons for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 6.6 million tons for the prior year period primarily due to higher demand for ammonia and granular urea.  Phosphate segment sales volume was 1,009,000 tons for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 978,000 tons for the prior year period due to higher export volume, which was offset partially by lower domestic sales volume.

Average price realizations for all of the primary nitrogen products were higher for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the prior year period due to robust demand and tight downstream inventories.  Average price realizations for phosphate products were lower for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year period due to lower global demand.

Nitrogen Segment

Nitrogen net sales in the second quarter totaled $1.5 billion, unchanged from the 2011 second quarter, as higher selling prices were offset by lower volumes.  Gross margin was $992.9 million,

3

up 27 percent from $782.6 million in the 2011 second quarter.  A 29 percent decline in cost of sales was due primarily to lower realized natural gas costs compared to the prior year period and a $77.6 million non-cash, mark-to-market gain on natural gas derivatives compared to a $14.2 million loss in the prior year period.  Gross margin as a percent of sales was 66 percent, up from 52 percent in the year-earlier quarter.

CF Industries sold 3.5 million tons of ammonia, granular urea, urea ammonium nitrate solutions (UAN), ammonium nitrate (AN) and other nitrogen products during the second quarter of 2012 compared to 3.8 million tons in 2011.

In the second quarter of 2012, the company sold 793,000 tons of ammonia at an average price of $635 per ton, compared to 981,000 tons at an average price of $596 in the second quarter of 2011.  The 19 percent decrease in volume in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 2011 resulted from an early start to the application season in 2012 that pulled ammonia demand into the first quarter.  Average price realizations increased seven percent, reflecting higher demand and tight industry-wide inventory levels across the supply chain.  The company’s ammonia plants in aggregate operated at approximately 97 percent of rated capacity during the quarter.

CF Industries sold 694,000 tons of granular urea at an average price of $522 in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 727,000 tons at an average price of $389 in the second quarter of 2011.  Granular urea volume decreased by five percent due to lower sales into the northern tier of the U.S. and lower inventory available for sale at the beginning of the quarter due to the strong sales volume in the first quarter of 2012.  Average urea price realizations increased 34 percent year-over-year due to tight industry-wide product inventories.

The company sold 1.63 million tons of UAN in the second quarter of 2012 at an average price of $324 per ton, compared to 1.65 million tons at an average price of $323 in the year-ago quarter.

CF Industries sold 249,000 tons of AN at an average price of $257 per ton in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 268,000 tons at an average price of $260 per ton in the year-ago quarter.   Sales volume was down due to lower agricultural sales.

CF Industries continued to benefit from the abundant supply of natural gas driven by production of North American shale gas.  The company’s realized natural gas cost averaged $3.13 per MMBtu in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $4.32 during the second quarter of 2011.  The year-over-year decline in natural gas prices was caused by continued growth in North American natural gas production, which resumed month-to-month sequential growth in the second quarter, and high storage inventory, which at the end of the quarter was approximately 3.1 trillion cubic feet, or 24 percent above the five-year average inventory of 2.5 trillion cubic feet.

Phosphate Segment

Phosphate net sales totaled $231.5 million, down 22 percent from $296.6 million in the 2011 second quarter.  Gross margin was $50.4 million, down 41 percent from $84.8 million in the 2011 second quarter.  The decrease in gross margin was due to lower average selling prices and

4

sales volumes.  Gross margin as a percent of sales was 22 percent, down from 29 percent in the year-earlier quarter.

The company sold 493,000 tons of phosphate products in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 538,000 tons in the second quarter of 2011.  During the second quarter of 2012, DAP and MAP average selling prices were $472 and $464 per ton, respectively, compared to $555 and $544 per ton, respectively, in the prior year period.  The eight percent decrease in volume was due to the start-up of production of the company’s new MAP-S product during the quarter and building MAP-S inventory for sale in future periods.  The decrease in North American sales was offset partially by higher export sales as the company took advantage of more attractive sale opportunities primarily in Latin America.  Average price realizations declined from the prior year period due to lower global demand.

CF Industries’ Plant City, Florida, Phosphate Complex operated at 96 percent of capacity during the 2012 second quarter.

Environmental, Health & Safety Performance

The company’s Pine Bend, Minnesota, warehouse achieved seven years without a lost time accident (LTA) during the second quarter.  However, two LTAs at other facilities did affect CF Industries’ employees.

Liquidity and Financial Position

At June 30, 2012, CF Industries’ cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.4 billion.  Long-term debt outstanding was $1.6 billion.

During the second quarter of 2012, the company repurchased 3.1 million shares of its common stock for $500 million, an average price of $163.89.  This completed the $1.5 billion share repurchase program approved by the company’s board of directors in August 2011.  In aggregate, the company repurchased approximately 9.6 million shares at an average price of $156.80 during this program.

“Our completion of the $1.5 billion share repurchase program in just 10 months illustrates the strength of CF Industries’ business model and ability to generate cash,” said Wilson.

Dividend Payment

On July 19, 2012, the CF Industries Board of Directors declared the regular quarterly dividend of $0.40 per common share. The dividend will be paid on August 29, 2012, to stockholders of record as of August 14, 2012.

Capital Deployment Update

The company completed its $1.5 billion share repurchase plan in June and has made substantial progress in developing the capital investment program it described last year.  The following two items plus the announced purchase of the CFL interests comprise current plans for capital deployment:

5

·The company’s review of potential capital projects to increase nitrogen capacity and product upgrading capability has led to an expanded list of opportunities.  Consequently, the total possible investment has been increased from $1.0-1.5 billion to approximately $2.0 billion.  Should preliminary indications of economic and technical feasibility prove to be correct, this initiative would lead to an increase in gross ammonia production of approximately one million tons and combined urea and UAN production of approximately 3.5 million tons.   Management believes that these projects will have relatively high returns and low risk based upon past experience and that they offer compelling returns in comparison to green field expansion projects.  The company expects to be able to announce decisions on some of these projects prior to year-end.  This investment program is in addition to the approximately $300 million of normal annual capital expenditures the company expects to make.

·The CF Industries Board of Directors has authorized the expenditure of up to $3.0 billion to purchase shares of the company’s common stock through December 31, 2016.

Management believes that the company’s cash generation capability is sufficient to support these programs in a manner consistent with maintaining an investment grade profile and access to capital markets to fund future growth opportunities.

“We continue to believe that our business is operating in an environment that will be characterized by ‘higher lows’ and ‘higher highs’ than have been experienced in recent cycles,” Wilson said.  “Our announcement last week of the agreement to purchase the CFL interests, combined with the share repurchase program and increase in identified capacity expansion opportunities, demonstrate our commitment both to expand the business prudently and to create value for our shareholders.”

Outlook

CF Industries is positioned to benefit from a number of factors that support its growth and cash generation potential.  Global population growth, a shift toward higher protein diets, and continued use of crops as a source of renewable fuels are all generating a need for more grain and higher use of plant nutrients.  Additionally, the increased production of North American shale gas and the associated decline in natural gas prices have created a sustainable cost advantage for the company’s nitrogen production.

The impact of dry weather across the United States and a number of other growing regions has diminished projected crop yields for the current growing season, increased crop prices and created expectations for high planted acreage again in 2013.  In the July World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates report, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reduced its U.S. corn yield estimate from 166 to 146 bushels per acre which, along with other changes made to their production and demand estimates, resulted in a projected stocks-to-use ratio of 9.3 percent for the end of the 2012/2013 crop marketing year, well below the ten year average of 12.5 percent.  Further reduction in the yield projection is possible.  As a result, corn futures prices have rallied to levels which imply 2013 corn plantings of approximately 96 million acres.

6

CF Industries expects robust fall ammonia demand as the North American supply chain restocks to support the high planted acreage anticipated next year.  Given the large amount of ammonia applied in the first half of 2012, inventories are believed to be at or near historically low levels, creating a significant need, as well as potential challenges, to restock the North American agricultural ammonia supply chain.  Additionally, global ammonia market prices have increased recently on concerns about tight supply as a number of off-shore producers are expected to experience outages.  These dynamics should support ammonia prices.

The urea market is expected to reflect strong global demand to support 2013 plantings and supply impacts from continued new project delays.  While dry weather across the U.S. wheat growing regions may delay fall fertilization, the high number of overall crop acres expected to be planted in 2013 supports continued strong North American demand for urea.  Additionally, customers in international markets such as Southeast Asia have not yet finished fulfilling their urea needs and an increase in South American demand is expected to support higher planted acres in response to attractive crop prices.  Unscheduled outages and planned turnarounds at a number of urea production facilities, along with additional delays in starting up new plants, could result in tight supplies over the remainder of 2012.

The company successfully launched its UAN fill program in June and has experienced positive customer response.  High acreage expectations, especially for corn, should support continued UAN demand.

For phosphates, CF Industries anticipates the export market to continue to offer more attractive selling opportunities than the domestic market due to strong demand in Latin America and India.  Demand in Latin America should be strong due to the large number of acres of soybeans expected to be planted and there appear to be unmet DAP needs in India.

“We have seen market conditions emerge that are consistent with our long term expectations.  Tight global grain stocks have supported strong prices and created conditions for continued high crop plantings and plant nutrient demand,” said Wilson.  “With the right set of assets strategically located in one of the most significant growing regions in the world, we expect to continue to serve our customers effectively and create value for our shareholders.”

The company projects capital expenditures of approximately $400 million in 2012.
