Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, among others: the volatility of natural gas prices in North America; the cyclical nature of our business and the agricultural sector; the global commodity nature of our fertilizer products, the impact of global supply and demand on our selling prices, and the intense global competition from other fertilizer producers; conditions in the U.S. agricultural industry; reliance on third party providers of transportation services and equipment; risks associated with cyber security; weather conditions; our ability to complete our production capacity expansion projects on schedule as planned and on budget or at all; risks associated with other expansions of our business, including unanticipated adverse consequences and the significant resources that could be required; potential liabilities and expenditures related to environmental and health and safety laws and regulations; future regulatory restrictions and requirements related to greenhouse gas emissions; the seasonality of the fertilizer business; the impact of changing market conditions on our forward sales programs; risks involving derivatives and the effectiveness of our risk measurement and hedging activities; the significant risks and hazards involved in producing and handling our products against which we may not be fully insured; our reliance on a limited number of key facilities; risks associated with joint ventures; acts of terrorism and regulations to combat terrorism; difficulties in securing the supply and delivery of raw materials, increases in their costs or delays or interruptions in their delivery; risks associated with international operations; losses on our investments in securities; deterioration of global market and economic conditions; our ability to manage our indebtedness; and loss of key members of management and professional staff.

3 Increased dividend by 50% New $1 billion share repurchase authorization Capacity expansion projects remain on-time and on-budget New reporting segments reflect focus on Nitrogen Operations Strategic Nitrogen products segments consist of the ammonia, urea, UAN and “other” product segments. See slide 18 for reconciliation of EBITDA. Third Quarter Highlights Six percent increase in nitrogen products segments(1) sales volume, half from Mosaic sales EBITDA(2) of $338 million and Diluted EPS of $2.62 $36 million impact of higher natural gas costs and realized losses on natural gas derivatives $24 million impact of higher expenses related to other highlighted items

Outlook/Summary 4 Positive outlook on nitrogen market conditions from 4Q into 2015 Expected 90 million corn acres should support healthy demand through 1H15 Attractive ammonia season developing Strong product flow in Northern Tier CF’s tighter supply for the fourth quarter may impact total availability for fall season Current urea prices supported by global outages and Chinese efforts to improve economics of their producers Record high ammonia and urea outages Chinese Nitrogen Fertilizer Association driving Chinese producers to improve pricing discipline in India tenders Healthy UAN order book Continued execution of capacity expansion projects Projects remain on-budget and on-track Mechanical construction continuing through the winter

Assumes that a $25 per ton change in urea price is equivalent to a $17.39 per ton change in UAN price and a $44.57 per ton change in ammonia price. The fundamentals of global nitrogen product pricing and North American natural gas costs give CF Industries an attractive earnings profile The company’s existing nitrogen business profile can be highly profitable across a broad range of industry conditions This analysis provides confidence for the new investments in nitrogen capacity Substantial cash flow through varying market conditions

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 non-controlling interest. We have 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 our industry. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA less the pre-tax gain on sale of phosphate business completed in March 2014. We use adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure in the comparison of year-over-year performance.
