North America currently imports about 38% of its total nitrogen use from offshore
For planning purposes, CF Industries assumes that 6 million tons of new ammonia capacity will be added in North America, mostly in 2016 to 2018 This new capacity should displace offshore nitrogen imports, which would decline by about 40%

U.S. corn price is projected to decline to around $5 per bushel in 2013 as production recovers due to high planted acreage and higher yields
Farmers and ethanol producers are highly profitable at this level Demand is projected to recover with lower prices, especially for feed and exports

The 2013/14 stocks-to-use ratio is expected to increase, but is highly dependent on the actual yield
2013 plantings and emergence have been delayed substantially and are expected to result in lower planted corn acres compared with USDAs Prospective Plantings report Production forecast:
CF Industries forecasts a 155 bu/acre corn yield and a $5.00 season average corn price If corn yields decline to 150 bu/acre, the stocksto-use ratios could fall to 8-10% and support prices above the current forecast

Global nitrogen demand growth is projected to slow from the prior decade to a rate of about 2.0% per year, or about 3 million nutrient tons a year The annual nitrogen demand growth is equivalent to over 6 million product tons of urea or about 4-5 new plants each year (net of closures) Industrial use is projected to grow at 3.4% per year, largely due to increasing demand for emissions control Nitrogen demand growth is expected to be strongest in developing regions, particularly FSU, Asia, and Latin America
30
Global capacity is expected to increase by 14% between 2013 and 2018 The increase in capacity is expected to reduce the global operating rate from over 80% to about 78% However, a large portion of the expansions are set to occur in China, where continued government export controls and off-setting plant closures are expected Operating rates outside China are expected to remain high and near todays levels of 84%

CF Industries examines global urea capacity ex-China to reflect the world trade situation more accurately Chinas export policy is more important than its actual capacity Based on announced projects, urea production capacity would be expected to increase by approximately 22 million tonnes, ex-China, by 2016 Lists of future projects typically overestimate actual capacity brought online by as much as 50%
32
Forecast
Actual
On average, 50% of the total forecast capacity came onstream by the end of the year
IFA recently noted a similar situation with their nitrogen capacity list
Comparing the 2012 list with the current list, IFA stated: At least 25 urea projects were delayed, accounting for 60% of the announced capacity by 2016. These delays have removed up to 18 Mt of planned urea capacity that had been foreseen for 2016 in the forecast of May 2012.

Costs of product delivered to the U.S. Gulf based on each countrys cash costs and freight rates
Urea global floor price is estimated to range from $320 per ton to $340 per ton delivered to the U.S. Gulf based on Chinese and Eastern European production
Eastern Europe and other FSU producers are the marginal producers during Chinas high export tax season A typical U.S. producer has cash production costs of about $150 per ton at $4/MMBtu natural gas CF Industries has significant margin opportunity at the projected urea floor price

Domestic shipments are expected to reach 7.4 million tons of DAP/MAP product in 2013 as high corn acreage continues to drive stable phosphate demand However, greater competition in international market continues to weigh on the export market This is due to both higher supplies from Morocco and Saudi Arabia and recently lower demand in India due to decreasing subsidies U.S. exports have declined gradually from 11 million tons in 2004 to an estimated 5 million tons in 2013

We have presented EBITDA, EBITDA as a % of sales, Enterprise Value to EBITDA, total debt to EBITDA, Dividends & Share Repurchases as a % of EBITDA and Dividends & Share Repurchases as a % of Equity Market Value because management uses these measures to track the companys performance in comparison to its peers and believes that these are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Notes: (1) EBITDA is defined as net earnings attributable to common stockholders plus interest expense (income)-net, income taxes, and depreciation, depletion 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 interest. (2) Share price as of the end of the applicable period. (3) Enterprise value to EBITDA is defined as enterprise value divided by EBITDA. Enterprise value is defined as equity market value as of the period ending date plus debt minus cash. Equity market value is defined as shares outstanding multiplied by share price. (4) Adjusted Debt includes the $1.5 billion of senior notes issued May 20, 2013. (5) Dividends & Share Repurchases as a percent of EBITDA is defined as average dividends paid and share repurchases for the specified time period divided by average EBITDA for the specified period. (6) Dividends & Share Repurchases as a percent of Equity Market Value defined as average dividends paid plus share repurchases for the specified time period divided by the daily average equity market value for the specified time period.

We have presented Total Debt to Equity Market Value, Free Cash Flow to Total Debt, Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) and Return on Equity (ROE) because management uses these measures to track the companys performance in comparison to its peers and believes that these are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Invested capital, stockholders equity and each of their components are period-end amounts and not average amounts. Notes: (1) Adjusted Debt includes the $1.5 billion of senior notes issued May 20, 2013. (2) Total Debt to Equity Market Value is defined as total debt divided by Equity Market Value. Total debt is defined as all debt for the specified time period. Equity Market Value is defined as shares outstanding multiplied by the share price. (3) Free Cash Flow to Total Debt is defined as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures, dividends paid and minority interest divided by all debt. (4) ROIC is defined as after tax operating income divided by invested capital. After tax operating income is defined as operating income times the net of 1 minus a standard tax rate of 35% (operating income x (1- tax rate of 35%)). Invested capital is defined as net debt plus stockholders equity. Net debt is defined as all debt plus minority interests (Non-controlling Interest) minus cash. (5) ROE is defined as net earnings divided by stockholders equity. (6) Share price as of the end of the applicable period. (7) Enterprise value to EBITDA is defined as enterprise value divided by EBITDA. Enterprise value is defined as equity value plus debt minus cash. Equity value is defined as shares outstanding multiplied by share price.
