Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures 3 The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted net earnings per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, provide additional meaningful information regarding the company's performance and financial strength. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted net earnings per diluted share included in this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted net earnings per diluted share to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables accompanying this presentation. EBITDA is defined as net earnings attributable to common stockholders plus interest expense (income)-net, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Other adjustments include the elimination of loan fee amortization that is included in both interest and amortization, and the portion of depreciation that is included in noncontrolling interests. The company has 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 the industry. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted with the selected items included in EBITDA as summarized in the tables accompanying this presentation. The company has presented adjusted EBITDA because management uses adjusted EBITDA, and believes it is useful to investors, as a supplemental financial measure in the comparison of year-over-year performance. Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings attributable to common stockholders adjusted with the impacts of the selected items included in net earnings as summarized in the tables accompanying this presentation. The company has presented adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted share because management uses these measures, and believes they are useful to investors, as supplemental financial measures in the comparison of year-over-year performance.

 


Agenda 4 Industry conditions have deteriorated, recovery expected to begin in 2018 Organic and inorganic initiatives have created shareholder value CF is well positioned for the expected nitrogen recovery Donaldsonville expansion complete, Port Neal expansion near completion Management discipline: complete value creating transactions, abandon deals which are no longer attractive Total cash returned to shareholders since 2012 is more than twice net strategic investments

 


5 Excerpts from Larry Fink’s February 2016 Letter to CEOs “Over the past several years, I have written to the CEOs of leading companies urging resistance to the powerful forces of short-termism afflicting corporate behavior. Reducing these pressures and working instead to invest in long-term growth remains an issue of paramount importance for BlackRock’s clients, most of whom are saving for retirement and other long-term goals, as well as for the entire global economy.” “We certainly support returning excess cash to shareholders, but not at the expense of value-creating investment. We continue to urge companies to adopt balanced capital plans, appropriate for their respective industries, that support strategies for long-term growth.” Larry Fink CEO, BlackRock Management should invest in businesses for the long-term

 


6 CF’s Capital Allocation Philosophy Commitment to investment grade over the long term Pursue growth within our strategic fairway, where returns exceed the risk-adjusted cost of capital Consistently return excess cash to shareholders in a timely fashion: historical bias towards share repurchases Philosophy remains unchanged Near-term priority: focus on liquidity $1.55 billion in cash on the balance sheet $750 million undrawn revolver ~$800 million cash tax refund expected in 2017 With capacity expansion complete, capex expected to return to $400-$450 million annually; continuing focus on safe, reliable, and compliant operations Debt capital structure Recently priced $1.25B debt offering at attractive rates, proceeds to be used to repay OCI-related financing Long-term target gross debt: ~$4 billion Natural de-levering opportunities: $800 million bond due 2018 and $800 million bond due 2020

15 The proposed OCI transaction was initially value-creating but regulatory & market changes reduced the benefit to CF shareholders Estimated after-tax, run-rate synergies of ~$500 million annually, mid-to-high teens cash flow accretion to shareholders The basket of consideration provided to OCI included 25.6% of shares in the combined company plus $700M of cash or additional shares, as well as the assumption of $2.2Bn of debt Wever, IA plant expected online in early 2016 Deal On Announcement (August 6, 2015) Significantly lower annual synergies resulting from changes in the tax regulations and commercial environment Although OCI and CF share value fell similarly, the fixed $700M consideration had an increasingly dilutive impact on CF shareholders Wever, IA plant not yet online, with significant additional investment required Deal Upon Termination (May 22, 2016) US Treasury issued new tax inversion rules in November 2015, requiring moving new company domicile from the UK to the Netherlands US Treasury introduced new regulations to curb “earnings stripping” in April 2016, eliminating significant structural synergies Urea prices fell by ~32%, share price of both companies had fallen by ~50% Wever construction program considerably delayed versus expectations CF cancelled transaction when shareholder value was significantly diminished Interim Events

 


16 Similarly, in 2014, CF and Yara considered a merger of equals, driven by potential opportunity to increase shareholder value Discussions abandoned when it became clear that a value-creating opportunity was not available Initial discussions between CF and Yara identified significant potential operational synergies, and the opportunity to create a tax-efficient combination This vision required the combined company to be domiciled in a tax-efficient global hub, namely the UK On September 23, both companies confirmed discussions following media rumors. Shortly thereafter, the Norwegian Government involved itself in the negotiations and appointed its own financial advisor to represent its interests. Norwegian politicians went on record stating that the combined company headquarters would have to be in Norway The Norwegian state directly owned 36% of Yara, and any transaction would have required parliamentary approval As both Norway and the United States each levy between 5 to 15% withholding tax on cross-border cash flows, the net impact of locating a combined global headquarters in Norway, rather than the UK, was a $700M annual cash penalty, more than wiping out any operational synergies Norway is actually a less tax-efficient domicile than the United States On October 16, CF and Yara jointly terminated discussions Note: In mid-2014, CF and Yara initiated discussion regarding a potential merger of equals led by Jorgen Haslestad of Yara and Tony Will of CF. In July, the Board of Yara announced that Jorgen Haslestad would no longer serve as CEO effective February 2015 and would be replaced by Svein Richard Brandtzaeg (CEO of Yara’s former parent Norsk Hydro). On September 26, Brandtzaeg announced he would no longer serve as CEO once he learned of the discussions with CF. On October 7, Jorgen Haslestad resigned as CEO of Yara and Leif Teksum, Chairman of Yara, led the discussions with CF

 


Agenda 17 Industry conditions have deteriorated, recovery expected to begin in 2018 Organic and inorganic initiatives have created shareholder value CF is well positioned for the expected nitrogen recovery Donaldsonville expansion complete, Port Neal expansion near completion Disciplined management to complete value creating transactions and abandon deals which are no longer attractive Total capital returned to shareholders since 2012 is more than twice net strategic investments Nitrogen pricing has fallen due to increased supply and decreased energy costs globally Nitrogen demand is expected to continue to grow at ~2% per year Marginal cost producers have reacted to lower prices by shutting down plants and reducing operating rates Supply and demand spread is expected to tighten beginning in 2018

Source: CF, PCS 2012 10-K, Industry publications With excess capacity and resultant lower prices, marginal plants under financial stress are expected to progress through 3 stages 21 Shutdown + 9: plant permanently off-line Plant shut down: no hope, or go broke Turn down, before shut down 1 2 3 Operators reduce production rates when netbacks fall below variable cost However, there is a limit - ammonia plants lose significant efficiency operating at rates below 70% Even a plant running at lower rates must continue to spend capex Every nitrogen plant faces a major turnaround every 3 to 4 years In addition, Chinese coal-fed plants face multi-million dollar overhauls of their coal gasifiers every 6-12 months Producers may keep manufacturing product, even though they are losing money on every ton, as long as they expect the price to recover within their shutdown and start up costs A small – mid-size Chinese producer that believes the urea price will recover in a matter of weeks, should operate up to ~$20 below variable cost, to avoid the estimated costs associated with shut down / start up As a result, plants only shutdown when the operators have either given up hope of a recovery, or have run out of cash to subsidize operations Many plant components deteriorate while idle, especially rotating equipment, which is ideally rotated manually on a weekly basis Catalyst declines significantly unless under nitrogen blanket Heat exchangers are especially prone to corrosion as full draining is often unachievable Upon restart, valuable components will require replacement, especially catalyst Potash Corp spent $260 million to resume Geismar in February 2013 As a result, after about 9 months of shutdown, plants are much less likely to restart without a major price increase that would offset the required restart capex

Products sold under the CHS supply agreement also are excluded from the price sensitivity calculation in 2017PF, reflecting the terms of CHS’ minority equity ownership interest. Nitrogen price sensitivity is applied only to major products (ammonia, urea, UAN, and AN). The table was created by using 2015 adjusted EBITDA(1) of $1.98 billion and gas consumption, accounting for: Increases in production capacity from the expansion projects at Donaldsonville and Port Neal; Increases in production from the CF Fertilisers UK assets; the effects of the CF Fertilisers UK acquisition and CHS minority equity investment; and the effects of the long-term Orica and Mosaic contracts. Natural gas sensitivity is based on 2015 gas consumption of approximately 260 million MMBtus. Additional gas consumption from the capacity expansions has been added while gas consumption associated with the long-term contracts with Orica and Mosaic has been excluded because these contracts are priced on a gas-plus basis. In addition, gas consumption reflecting CHS’ minority equity ownership interest has also been excluded. See Appendix for 2015 EBITDA reconciliation in Appendix Slide 41.
