THE MOSAIC COMPANY REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Net earnings were $624 million

Earnings per share were $1.40

PLYMOUTH, MN, January 4, 2012 – The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) reported second quarter fiscal 2012 net earnings of $624 million, compared to $1.0 billion in the prior year quarter. Second quarter fiscal 2011 included a $570 million after-tax gain, $1.27 per share, from the sale of the Fosfertil business. Excluding this gain from the prior year period, net earnings were up 37 percent year-over-year. Earnings per diluted share were $1.40 in the quarter compared to $2.29 in the quarter last year, or $1.02 excluding the gain from the sale of Fosfertil last year. Earnings per diluted share included $0.08 per share in foreign currency transaction gains in the 2012 quarter. Mosaic’s net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 were $3.0 billion, a 13 percent increase from $2.7 billion in the same period last year, driven by improved pricing, partially offset by lower volumes.

“Our excellent results demonstrate the strength of underlying agricultural fundamentals combined with effective execution by our businesses,” said Jim Prokopanko, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mosaic. “While we expect third quarter results to decline due to near-term macroeconomic uncertainty and cautious distributor purchasing behavior, we remain confident of the strong long-term demand prospects for our products. In this environment, we continue to focus on generating value by executing our strategy.

“We made substantial progress on our strategic priorities during the quarter. Our potash expansion initiative remains on track and on budget. We’ve completed a major phase of our Esterhazy K2 expansion that, when combined with the now certain reversion of the tolling agreement tonnes, increases our potash

capacity by two million tonnes in calendar 2013. Our innovative premium phosphate product, MicroEssentials®, continues to take an increasing share of North American sales, adding value to farmers, distributors and shareholders. We also took steps toward optimizing our balance sheet, including the repurchase of nearly five percent of our outstanding shares.”

Mosaic’s gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $881 million, or 29.2 percent of net sales, compared to $768 million, or 28.7 percent of net sales, a year ago. Second quarter operating earnings were $797 million, an increase of 21 percent compared to $658 million a year ago. The increase in gross margin and operating earnings was driven primarily by higher selling prices partially offset by higher phosphate raw material costs and lower volumes.

Cash flow provided by operating activities in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $518 million compared to $532 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures totaled $387 million in the quarter. Mosaic’s total cash and cash equivalents were $3.6 billion and long-term debt was $1.0 billion at November 30, 2011, which excludes the $469 million of debt retired on December 1, 2011.

Business Highlights

 

   

Potash expansion projects continue to be on time and on budget.

 

   

Expansion capital spending was $267 million in the quarter.

 

   

The construction phase of the Esterhazy above-ground expansion was completed during the quarter.

 

   

The Company’s Board of Directors approved the next phase for the expansion program at the Belle Plaine solution mine.

 

   

South Fort Meade produced approximately 280,000 tonnes of phosphate rock during the quarter. Mosaic’s other Florida phosphate rock production remains strong, contributing to a total of 2.7 million tonnes mined during the quarter.

 

   

The Faustina ammonia plant was restarted during the quarter, and was fully operational as of the end of October.

 

   

The Company was included in the S&P 500 Index and conducted a targeted secondary offering of 20.7 million shares related to the inclusion in the Index.

 

   

Mosaic completed the repurchase of 21.3 million shares, approximately five percent of outstanding shares, at a price of $54.58, for $1.2 billion. This repurchase completes the disposition of the 157 million shares designated to be sold by Cargill and the MAC Trusts during the 15-month period following the May 25, 2011 split-off transaction. No additional shares are scheduled to be sold until mid- calendar 2013.

The Company issued $750 million of new debt, with an average yield of 4.2 percent, and called $469 million of outstanding debt bearing an interest rate of 7.625 percent.

 

   

Subsequent to quarter end, a settlement was reached on the potash tolling agreement dispute, resulting in an additional 1.3 million tonnes of peaking capacity for Mosaic beginning in January 2013.

Potash production

“Our Potash segment’s operating earnings grew 42 percent compared to the second quarter last year,” said Prokopanko. “While the seasonal lull has recently slowed sales, we expect record global shipments in 2012 and project a strong spring application season. Recent macroeconomic uncertainty has caused distributors around the world to become cautious and we anticipate significant sales volumes will be delayed until our fourth fiscal quarter. We currently maintain appropriate inventory levels and plan to produce at rates needed to satisfy expected demand in the second half of fiscal 2012.”

Net sales in the Potash segment totaled $839 million for the second quarter, up 20 percent compared to $699 million a year ago. Gross margin was $394 million, or 47 percent of net sales, compared to $285 million, or 41 percent of net sales, a year ago. Operating earnings were $358 million, up 42 percent compared to $252 million in the prior year. The increase in gross margin and operating earnings was primarily the result of higher year-over-year prices. Gross margin excluding resource taxes, a measure comparable to certain peer reporting, was 55 percent in the second quarter compared to 52 percent a year ago.

The second quarter average MOP selling price, FOB plant, was $440 per tonne, up from $331 a year ago. Sequentially, average MOP prices were down slightly, reflecting a three percent quarterly increase in domestic prices, offset by higher volumes through Canpotex where pricing declined two percent in the quarter. The Potash segment’s total sales volumes for the second quarter were 1.8 million tonnes, flat with last year.

Potash production was 1.8 million tonnes, or 78 percent of operational capacity, an increase from 1.7 million tonnes, or 74 percent of operational capacity, a year ago.

“Our Phosphates business increased our share of North American sales while generating higher sequential margins,” stated Prokopanko. “Last week, we announced a 250,000 tonne curtailment of our phosphate production over the next three months in response to the very cautious buyer behavior we’ve seen in the past weeks, and the resultant impact on near-term demand. Longer-term, we believe the phosphate market provides us with significant opportunities. Underlying agriculture fundamentals are strong and we expect 2012 global phosphate demand to set yet another record. We are expanding our production capabilities for our premium phosphate product, MicroEssentials®, which is delivering proven value to farmers and distributors, and is a clear differentiator for Mosaic.”

Net sales in the Phosphates segment were $2.2 billion for the second quarter, up 10 percent compared to $2.0 billion last year. Gross margin was $476 million, or 22 percent of net sales, compared to $476 million, or 24 percent of net sales, for the same period a year ago. Operating earnings were $432 million, up 7 percent compared to $402 million last year. The flat gross margin reflects higher prices, primarily offset by higher raw material costs. The Company estimates the Faustina outage increased raw material costs by approximately $30 million in the quarter. This higher cost was partially offset in other operating earnings by $20 million in a related insurance recovery.

The second quarter average DAP selling price, FOB plant, was $611 per tonne, compared to $461 a year ago. Phosphates segment’s total sales volumes were 3.2 million tonnes, compared to 3.7 million tonnes a year ago. Last year’s second quarter was an all-time record for sales volumes. Lower international sales were the largest contributor to the sales decline, primarily due to the timing of shipments to India. Mosaic estimates indicate capture of a record share of North American sales in the first half of fiscal 2012, and MicroEssentials® grew its share of North American sales to nine percent.

Mosaic’s North American finished phosphate production was 2.1 million tonnes, or 86 percent of operational capacity, compared to 2.1 million tonnes, or 88 percent of operational capacity in the same period a year ago. North American phosphate rock production was 2.7 million tonnes during the second quarter compared to 2.5 million tonnes a year ago.

Other

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $101 million for the second quarter, an increase from $89 million a year ago, driven primarily by higher wages and benefits, as well as an increase in charitable contributions. Other operating income was $16 million for the second quarter compared to other operating expense of $21 million a year ago, and included the Faustina-related $20 million insurance recovery. Foreign currency transaction gain was $55 million for the second quarter compared to a loss of $31 million in the year ago period. Fluctuations were primarily driven by changes in the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate. Income tax expense was $231 million for the second quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 27 percent, compared to $281 million, or 22 percent, for the same period last year.

Financial Guidance

Total sales volumes for the Potash segment are expected to range from 1.2 to 1.5 million tonnes for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Mosaic’s realized MOP price, FOB plant, for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 is estimated to range from $430 to $460 per tonne.

Total sales volumes for the Phosphates segment are expected to range from 2.2 to 2.6 million tonnes for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Mosaic’s realized DAP price, FOB plant, for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 is estimated to range from $530 to $560 per tonne. Segment margins in the third fiscal quarter are expected to decline sequentially driven by the combination of lower expected realized DAP prices, the lagging impact of prior raw material price increases and a planned reduction in production rates. Spot prices of raw materials have declined recently, and that trend is expected to benefit margins in the fourth fiscal quarter.

The third quarter operating rate in the Potash segment is expected to exceed 80 percent of operational capacity. The Company’s operating rate at its North American phosphate operations is expected to range from 70 to 80 percent of operational capacity during its third quarter, due to the previously announced 250,000 tonne reduction in finished phosphate production.

Previously disclosed 2012 guidance for capital spending, SG&A, Canadian resource taxes and royalties, and effective income tax rate have not changed:

 

   

Total capital spending for fiscal 2012 is expected to range from $1.6 to $1.9 billion.

 

   

SG&A are estimated to range from $400 to $430 million.

 

   

Canadian resource taxes and royalties are expected to range from $420 to $470 million.

 

   

The effective income tax rate is estimated in the upper 20 percent range.

Canadian resource taxes and royalties are included as a component of cost of goods sold in the Company’s consolidated income statement.

The Company has presented above adjusted net earnings attributable to Mosaic which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a supplemental numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted net earnings attributable to Mosaic is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, investors should consider that Mosaic’s calculation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to Mosaic provides a metric that the Company believes is helpful to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance as it excludes the onetime gain from the sale of Mosaic’s equity investment in Fosfertil. Adjusted net earnings attributable to Mosaic should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company’s margins are further reduced by the impact of a third party tolling agreement.

The Company has presented above gross margin excluding Canadian resource taxes and royalties (CRT) for its potash segment which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a supplemental numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Gross margin excluding CRT is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, investors should consider that Mosaic’s calculation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Gross margin excluding CRT provides a measure that the Company believes enhances the reader’s ability to compare the Company’s gross margin with that of other companies which incur CRT expense and classify it in a manner different than the Company in their statement of earnings. Because securities analysts, investors, lenders and others use gross margin excluding CRT, the Company’s management believes that Mosaic’s presentation of gross margin excluding CRT for the potash segment affords them greater transparency in assessing Mosaic’s financial performance against competitors. Gross margin excluding CRT, should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
