See accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 5 TERRA INDUSTRIES INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contain all adjustments necessary to summarize fairly the financial position of Terra Industries Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries (the Corporation) and the results of the Corporation's operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Because of the seasonal nature of the Corporation's operations and effects of weather- related conditions in several of its marketing areas, earnings of any single reporting period should not be considered as indicative of results for a full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders. 2. Per-share data are based on the weighted average number of Common Shares that would become outstanding after allowing for the full exchange of Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co., Limited Special Shares held by the public and exercise of outstanding stock options. All previously unexchanged Special Shares were automatically exchanged for Common Shares of the Corporation on July 6, 1993. 3. Inventories consisted of the following:

4. The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in various legal actions and claims, including environmental matters, arising during the normal course of business. Although it is not possible to predict with any certainty the outcome of such matters, it is the opinion of management that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation. 5. The Corporation has added to its operating capacity through acquisitions during 1994 and 1993. The significant acquisitions are summarized below. Operating results of the acquired businesses subsequent to the respective dates of the acquisitions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On April 8, 1993, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, Terra International (Canada) Inc. (Terra Canada) purchased working capital and acquired rights to an anhydrous ammonia production and related upgrading facilities located in Courtright, Ontario (the nitrogen plant) effective as of March 31, 1993. In addition, Terra Canada purchased interests in 32 farm service centers. Thirty of the service centers are owned by corporations in which Terra Canada has a 50% interest; the remaining two centers are wholly owned by Terra Canada. The assets and liabilities as of March 31, 1993 are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. On December 31, 1993, Terra International, Inc. purchased net assets of certain operations of Asgrow Florida Company, Inc. (Asgrow Florida), a distributor of fertilizer, chemicals and seed. Asgrow Florida operated 12 distribution centers and was a supplier to the vegetable and ornamental markets, mostly in Florida. On October 20, 1994, the Corporation acquired Agricultural Minerals and Chemicals, Inc. ("AMCI") for $400 million plus an estimated working capital adjustment of $102.4 million. AMCI, through its subsidiaries manufactured nitrogen-based fertilizers and industrial use products, and methanol. The 6 subsidiaries controlled by the Corporation as a result of the AMCI acquisition include Terra Nitrogen Corporation ("TNC") and Beaumont Methanol Corporation ("BMC"). TNC has a 60.2 percent ownership interest in Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. ("TNCLP"), formerly Agricultural Minerals Company, L.P., which operates nitrogen products manufacturing facilities in Verdigris, Oklahoma and Blytheville, Arkansas through an investment in an operating partnership, Terra Nitrogen, Limited Partnership ("TNLP"), formerly Agricultural Minerals, Limited Partnership. BMC operates a methanol production facility in Beaumont, Texas. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 18.5 years which is estimated to be the average remaining useful life of the manufacturing plants acquired. To finance the acquisition of AMCI, the Corporation issued 9.7 million Common Shares for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $112.7 million, entered into credit arrangements to issue $310 million of long-term debt, and refinanced certain bank debt and credit lines of the Corporation, AMCI and AMCI's subsidiaries aggregating $260 million of which $152 million in borrowings were outstanding. The Corporation used $40 million of the new debt issue to refinance short-term bank debt. As a result of the acquisition of AMCI, the Corporation also assumed AMCI's obligations under its $175 million in aggregate principal of 10.75% Senior Notes due 2003 (the "Senior Notes"). Under terms of the indenture related to the Senior Notes, the acquisition transactions constituted a change of control providing holders of the Senior Notes the right to require the Corporation to repurchase such Senior Notes at a cash price of 101% of principal plus accrued interest. Under the new credit arrangements, the Corporation has adequate credit lines to fund any required repurchase. The credit agreement provides for a $175 million revolving line of credit for use by Terra International, Inc. and BMC and a $50 million revolving line of credit for TNLP. Concurrent with the closing, BMC sold for $4 million a methanol call option at $0.65 per gallon, plus natural gas cost, covering 130-140 million gallons of methanol annually for the period from closing through December 31, 1997. Under terms of an agreement related to the call option, BMC is obligated to make payments when methanol average annual selling prices exceed contractual thresholds over average natural gas costs. The call option will approximate 50% of annual methanol production at BMC. The Corporation expects that BMC will be required to make payments under the methanol call option only if methanol prices increase relative to natural gas prices as compared with historical price levels. Terra Canada's and Asgrow Florida's operating results are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for 1994. The following table represents unaudited pro forma summary results of operations as if the acquisitions of Terra Canada, Asgrow Florida and AMCI had occurred at the beginning of 1993:
Nine Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands, except per-share data) September 30, 1994 September 30, 1993 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $1,740,507 $1,426,658 Income before extraordinary item $ 80,823 $ 18,694 Net income $ 78,209 $ 18,694 Net income per share $ 0.97 $ 0.24 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pro forma operating results were adjusted to include lease expense rather than depreciation for the Terra Canada nitrogen plant, increased costs of seed sales, depreciation of the fair value of capital assets acquired based on estimated useful lives at respective acquisition dates, amortization of intangibles, reduction of 7 incentive compensation expense for plans terminated at acquisition, interest expense on the acquisition borrowings and the effect of income taxes. The pro forma information listed above does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the operations were combined during the above periods, and is not intended to be a projection of future operating results or trends. 6. During March 1994, the Corporation redeemed $72.1 million of 8.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2012 at the required redemption price of 103.4% of par value. During the 20-day notice period, holders of $5.9 million chose to convert their debentures into Common Stock of the Corporation at the conversion price of $8.083 per Common Share. The Corporation issued 730,768 Common Shares and paid cash for fractional shares. The Corporation funded the redemption from available cash balances and short- term credit lines. 7. During March 1994, the Corporation entered into an agreement to sell its receivables. Under this agreement, which expires March 31, 1996, the Corporation may sell an undivided interest in a designated pool of its accounts receivable and receive up to $50 million in proceeds. Undivided interests in new receivables may be sold as collections reduce previously sold interests. The undivided interests are sold at a discount that is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 1994, $50.0 million in proceeds had been received under this agreement. 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994, COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 Net income totaled $0.7 million for the third quarter 1994 and was $3.2 million favorable to the $2.5 million net loss in the 1993 third quarter. The Corporation's operations are seasonal, coincident with crop plantings, which generally results in high second quarter earnings, and reduced earnings or losses in other quarters. The Corporation's operations are classified into two major categories -- Distribution and Manufactured Fertilizer. Total revenues and pretax income for the three months ended September 30, 1994, and 1993 by major operating category were as follows:
Revenues Pretax Income (Loss) - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) 1994 1993 1994 1993 - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distribution $237,720 $210,314 $(1,580) $ 252 Manufactured Fertilizer 52,552 41,453 6,100 81 Other--net of intercompany eliminations (2,367) (1,303) (2,285) (1,440) - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating income 2,235 (1,107) Net interest expense (1,236) (2,514) - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Totals $287,905 $250,464 $ 999 $ (3,621) =====================================================================================
Distribution third quarter 1994 revenues of $237.7 million increased $27.4 million from 1993 levels due principally to additional farm service centers added since 1993 which include twelve Florida locations purchased in December 1993. Distribution third quarter operating results were $1.8 million unfavorable to 1993 due to an earlier 1994 planting season compared with 1993 which resulted in increased sales earlier in the year, comparatively strong 1993 third quarter demand as the result of flood related planting delays and higher 1994 selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased $8.0 million due principally to new locations, normal wage increases, and sales force additions. Manufactured Fertilizer revenues of $52.6 million during the 1994 third quarter increased $11.1 million from 1993 due to increased selling prices for anhydrous ammonia and higher nitrogen fertilizer volumes as the result of increased crop acreage. Anhydrous ammonia selling prices increased 26% over 1993 third quarter prices due to increased demand and tight industry supplies. Third quarter 1994 operating income for the Manufactured Fertilizer business was $6.0 million more than operating income for the comparable 1993 period as the result of higher selling prices and volumes as well as the introduction of methanol production at the Corporation's Woodward facility during the first half of 1994. Gross profits from methanol production contributed $3.9 million to third quarter operating income. These earnings contributions were partially offset by higher manufacturing costs resulting from plant turnarounds and unscheduled repairs at the Corporation's Woodward and Courtright production facilities. Net other operating expenses are primarily comprised of corporate administrative expenses and the operating results of a crop protection formulation facility. Third quarter operating income of the formulation facility was reduced by $0.6 million in 1994 due to fewer third party formulation contracts than in 1993. 9 For the three months ended September 30, 1994, net interest expense totaled $1.2 million compared with $2.5 million for the same period in 1993 due to the redemption of the convertible subordinated debentures during the 1994 first quarter and increased interest income from an expansion of financing services provided to the Corporation's dealer and grower customers. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994, COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 Income before an extraordinary item totaled $42.3 million, $0.60 per share, on revenues of $1,365.7 million for the first nine months of 1994, compared with income before an extraordinary item of $28.4 million, $0.41 per share, on revenues of $1,070.8 million for the same period in 1993. An extraordinary loss of $2.6 million, net of federal income taxes, was realized during the first quarter of 1994 on the redemption of outstanding 8.5% convertible debentures and included a 3.4% redemption premium and unamortized issue costs. The net income after extraordinary loss on early retirement of debt was $39.7 million, or $0.56 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, compared with net income of $28.4 million, or $0.41 per share for the same period in 1993. Total revenues and pretax income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 by major operating category were as follows:
Revenues Pretax Income (Loss) - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) 1994 1993 1994 1993 - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distribution $1,187,358 $ 920,449 $48,608 $31,334 Manufactured Fertilizer 190,018 161,965 30,905 21,445 Other--net of intercompany eliminations (11,715) (11,609) (6,403) (6,110) - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating income 73,110 46,669 Net interest expense (5,094) (7,298) - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Totals $1,365,661 $1,070,805 $68,016 $39,371 =======================================================================================
Distribution revenues of $1,187.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 increased $266.9 million from the 1993 comparable period primarily due to higher sales volumes as the result of increased planted acreages and a $60.6 million sales increase in Florida resulting primarily from the Asgrow acquisition completed in December 1993. Gross profits increased $41.0 million reflecting higher sales volumes of distributed fertilizers and crop protection products. Selling expenses increased $23.8 million and were primarily attributable to normal wage increases and higher employment levels, increased equipment lease and maintenance expenses, and operating costs from locations added during the prior year. Manufactured Fertilizer revenues for the first nine months of 1994 of $190.0 million increased $28.1 million from the comparable period in 1993 due principally to acquisition of the Courtright nitrogen plant at the end of March 1993 and higher selling prices and sales volumes. The Courtright nitrogen plant contributed $66.7 million to 1994 September year-to-date revenues compared with $51.1 million in the comparable 1993 period. Operating income increased $9.5 million principally due to increased nitrogen fertilizer selling prices and the production and sale of methanol which began in April 1994. Average 1994 selling prices, for all nitrogen fertilizer products combined, were 6% higher than in the comparable 1993 period. Price increases were partially offset by higher manufacturing costs resulting from reduced production volumes and a 4% increase in natural gas costs during 1994. Production volumes were lower in 1994 as a result of unscheduled repairs at the Corporation's Woodward and Courtright plants. 10 Net interest expense decreased $1.2 million to $5.1 million in 1994 due primarily to the redemption of the 8.5% convertible subordinated debentures. The estimated annual effective tax rate increased from 28.0% during 1993 to 37.8% in 1994 due to utilization of previously unrecognized capital loss carryforwards in 1993. NATURAL GAS FORWARD PRICING --------------------------- The Corporation's policy is to fix the price of between 40% and 80% of its natural gas requirements over a twelve-month future period using fixed price contracts as well as over-the-counter and exchange-traded instruments. As a result, if natural gas prices increase during the twelve-month period, natural gas costs will be lower than if purchased at then-current prices. Conversely, if natural gas prices decrease during the hedge period, natural gas costs will be higher than if purchased at then-current prices. The Corporation's production plants use approximately 45,000 MMBtu of natural gas annually. At September 30, 1994 the Corporation had bought forward approximately 50% of its natural gas requirements for the next twelve-month period. Gains or losses resulting from movement in the market value of natural gas forward positions are deferred and included as manufacturing cost in the period in which the hedged transaction relates. If outstanding natural gas forward positions were settled at September 30, 1994, the Corporation's natural gas costs during the forward period would exceed market prices by $6.7 million. CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION SINCE YEAR-END --------------------------------------------- The Corporation used $50.3 million in cash to fund operations during the first nine months of 1994 primarily due to increases in accounts receivable resulting from increased sales and extended terms through grower financing programs. Short-term borrowings increased $132.1 million to fund seasonal working capital requirements and retirement of long-term debt. The redemption of the 8.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures utilized $68.7 million of cash, which has been partially replaced with borrowing under new credit arrangements during the 1994 fourth quarter. Capital expenditures of $25.6 million for the year-to-date through the third quarter 1994 compare to $16.3 million for the same period in 1993. The 1994 capital expenditures include $8.6 million for the completion of the methanol manufacturing plant at the Woodward, Oklahoma manufacturing facility. Completion of the project with the start-up of production and sales of methanol occurred during the second quarter 1994. Cash used for acquisitions includes an $8.1 million payment on working capital acquired with the Asgrow Florida purchase, $12.2 million for a one-third interest in Royster-Clark, Inc., and payments totaling $5.7 million made for the purchase of six additional farm service centers. Royster-Clark, Inc. has annual sales of approximately $200 million and operates over 100 farm service centers throughout the mid-Atlantic coast states. The Corporation has the right under certain circumstances to increase its ownership in Royster-Clark, Inc. to a majority holder within five years. Proceeds of $50 million were received from the sale of receivables pursuant to an agreement the Corporation entered into during March 1994. The funds were used to reduce seasonal borrowings and for general corporate purposes. The cash proceeds were reported as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As indicated in the notes to financial statements, the Corporation acquired AMCI on October 20, 1994. To finance this acquisition, the Corporation issued 9.7 million shares for net aggregate proceeds of approximately $112. 7 million, entered into a credit agreement to issue $310 million of long-term bank debt, refinanced certain 11 debt of the Corporation, AMCI and AMCI's subsidiaries, and assumed AMCI's obligations under $175 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. Under terms of the indenture related to the Senior Notes, note holders have the right to require repurchase due to the change in control. The credit agreement provides adequate funding for the Corporation to complete any required repurchase of the Senior Notes. Subsequent to the acquisition of AMCI and the relating refinancing, the Corporation had unused domestic credit lines of $58.0 million available for operating needs of Terra International, Inc. and BMC and unused Canadian credit lines of $13.7 million at September 30, 1994. In addition, TNLP has $50 million of unused credit lines available. The Corporation believes its cash balances and credit lines are sufficient to provide for its ongoing working capital requirements. 12 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
