Agriculture and Fertilizer Background

Doug Hoadley Director, Agri-Business Analysis

A tightly focused strategy well executed


21

Agricultural and Nitrogen Themes


Corn prices around $5 per bushel is a sweet spot for fertilizer industry
Farm income remains high Crop returns continue to favor corn and plantings are projected to continue at 92+ million acres Corn demand should recover in 2013, especially for feed and exports, and show growth through 2016 U.S. fertilizer demand is forecast to decline slightly next year, but remain at historically high levels through 2016

World nitrogen demand shows consistent 2% growth


Global nitrogen demand growth is equivalent to over 6 million product tons of urea or about 4-5 new plants each year (net of closures) Global 2013 urea cost curve suggests strong support at $320-$340/st at U.S. Gulf Although numerous projects have been announced for the next three years, historically only about 50% to 60% come onstream These nitrogen capacity additions are not expected to have a material impact on the hypothetical margin available to North American producers

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%

22

Corn Prices Moderating In the Near Term


The Season Average Corn Price has risen over the last decade due to:
Increasing feed, food and export demand Adoption of Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) Reduced production due to drought conditions
U.S. Corn Prices
$8.00
(U.S. Dollars per Bushel)

$7.00

$6.00

$5.00

$4.00

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

Economics Favor Corn Planting


The 2013 estimated average corn budget shows that corn returns over variable costs are $163 per acre higher than soybean returns, based on an average of March-April new crop futures for 2013 Farmer economics favor corn planting over soybeans in 2014 Based on current new crop 2014 futures, returns over variable costs are $194 per acre higher for corn than soybeans Assumptions include:
Trend yields March/April average for new crop prices and for 2014 calculation using corn price of $5.60 per bushel and soybean price of $12.80 USDA costs of production and CF Industries forecast of costs for 2014

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

U.S. Corn Plantings to Remain Above 90 Million Acres


CF Industries forecasts 2013 U.S. corn acreage at 96 million acres, but continued planting delays could result in lower acreage 2014 U.S. corn acreage is expected to be between 92-97 million acres and is highly dependent on future weather and demand response CF Industries is forecasting corn planted acreage to remain at 92+ million acres through 2016 U.S. nitrogen demand is forecast to remain high as lower corn acreage is offset by an increase in planting to other crops along with a modest increase in application rates

Fertilizer Remains a Good Value


Since 2005, farm revenue has increased while fertilizer costs as a percentage of farm revenue have decreased As a percent of corn revenue, U.S. fertilizer costs are projected to stay below the 10-year average of 20%, indicating fertilizer offers a good return on investment Assumptions for 2014 include:
Average annual corn price of $5.00 per bushel Fertilizer costs are projected at $121 per acre Corn yield of 155 bushels per acre

Stable Long-Term Demand Growth


World Nitrogen Demand

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

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.

Growth in North American Nitrogen Capacity Expected


For planning purposes, CF Industries assumes North America will add around 6 million tons of new ammonia capacity between 2013 and 2018 This growth, if realized, represents a 32% increase in capacity from 2013 levels, with the majority expected to come onstream in 2016-2018 The additional nitrogen capacity is expected to be used largely for producing upgraded products Nitrogen fertilizer imports are expected to continue but the total should decline

UAN Priced at a Premium


U.S. Gulf Prices, per Short Ton

Since January 2010, U.S. urea prices have averaged just over $400 per ton at the U.S. Gulf, while UAN prices have averaged close to $290 per ton Tampa ammonia prices have averaged $490 per ton since January 2010, while Midwest ammonia prices have averaged $650 per ton On a per unit nitrogen basis, UAN typically trades at a premium to other nitrogen sources Ammonia is typically the best value for farmers on a per unit nitrogen basis

U.S. Phosphate Situation


U.S. Phosphate Prices

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

Agricultural and Nitrogen Themes


A $5 per bushel corn price is a sweet spot:

For the farmer For ethanol producers, feedlot operators and corn exporters For the fertilizer industry

World nitrogen demand is expected to continue at a consistent 2% growth

The global 2013 urea cost curve suggests strong support at $320-$340/st for US Gulf

Nitrogen capacity additions are not expected to have a material impact on the hypothetical margin available to North American producers

Critical Factors Supporting Decision to Invest in New Nitrogen Capacity


Strong and growing nitrogen market
Fundamentals expected to sustain 2% average growth rate requiring about 5 new urea plants per year Global market with pricing determined by production from much higher cost regions North America large net importer of nitrogen

Reliable source of low cost natural gas feedstock


2.7 quadrillion cubic feet of expected future U.S. supply North America has worlds most developed natural gas production and distribution infrastructure Structural elements support long-term natural gas cost advantage versus many other regions

Lowest delivered cost, broadest reach


Largest nitrogen manufacturer in North America Largest manufacturing and distribution footprint Best logistics infrastructure Number of ship-from points minimizes transportation cost Multiple deep-draft docks at Donaldsonville allow for export of nitrogen products if desired

84

Critical Factors Supporting Decision to Invest in New Nitrogen Capacity, contd


Best capabilities
Outstanding sales and marketing team - well positioned to sell additional tons Sharing of best practices and cross training among 2,200 operating employees in multiple locations Able to pool/share spare parts

CF Industries expansion projects will be among the first new capacity in North America to come online
Spent or committed $500 million as of March 31, 2013 Air permits in public comment phase at both locations Long-lead-time equipment (rotating and high-pressure equipment) for both ammonia plants, both urea plants and the nitric acid plant have been ordered Expect to begin moving earth/constructing later this summer Projects expected to come online in 2015-2016

Attractive economics with expected returns significantly above the companys cost of capital

Key Value Drivers


Enduring feedstock cost advantage
Lower, less volatile natural gas prices Significant cost advantage to Chinese coal-based nitrogen production, Eastern European gas-based nitrogen production U.S. shale gas evolution difficult to replicate at scale elsewhere

Ammonia storage advantage


Storage terminals provide opportunity to realize both seasonal and regional price differences Allows CF Industries to maximize higher-margin agricultural sales and provides flexibility to negotiate better industrial sales

Transportation cost advantage


Facilities located near or in worlds most productive corn growing region Significant landed-cost differential versus imports and low-cost inland transportation options Transportation advantage exists for potential exports from Donaldsonville to Central and South American locations

Production efficiency advantage


High capacity utilization rates

Attractive investments in debottlenecking

Integrated phosphate advantage versus non-integrated producers

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.
