THE MOSAIC COMPANY REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND
FULL-YEAR 2014 RESULTS
PLYMOUTH, MN, February 11, 2015 - The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) today reported fourth quarter 2014 net earnings of $361 million, compared to $129 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Earnings per diluted share were $0.97 in the quarter compared to $0.30 last year. Notable items positively impacted earnings per share by $0.10, including a discrete tax benefit. Mosaic’s net sales in the fourth quarter of 2014 were $2.4 billion, up from $2.2 billion last year. Operating earnings during the quarter were $365 million, up from $179 million a year ago, driven by higher prices in the Phosphates segment, and higher sales volumes combined with lower operating costs in the Potash segment.
“While we expected strong fourth-quarter results, demand exceeded our expectations as customers came to the market in force, seeking to replenish empty inventories ahead of an expected strong spring application season in North America,” said Jim Prokopanko, President and Chief Executive Officer. “2014 was a year of transformation for Mosaic. We grew and rebalanced our business portfolio, optimized our balance sheet, and worked to assure Mosaic remains a low-cost producer.”
Cash flow provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $382 million compared to $503 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures plus investments in Wa’ad Al Shamal Phosphate Company (also known as the Ma’aden joint venture) totaled $254 million in the quarter. Mosaic’s total cash and cash equivalents were $2.4 billion and long-term debt was $3.8 billion as of December 31, 2014.

Full-Year 2014 Results (unaudited)
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, net income was $1.0 billion, or $2.68 per diluted share, compared to $1.1 billion, or $2.49 per diluted share in 2013. Net sales were $9.1 billion, up from $9.0 billion a year ago. Full-year operating earnings were $1.3 billion, flat with last year, as higher sales volumes for both phosphates and potash, combined with lower potash operating costs, were offset by lower realized potash prices. Full-year selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $382 million, including charges related to acquisitions and cost savings initiatives of $29 million, compared to $394 million in 2013. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.3 billion and capital expenditures plus investments in Wa’ad Al Shamal Phosphate Company were $1.1 billion.
Business Highlights - Fourth Quarter 2014
• | Mosaic completed a successful proving run at the Colonsay mine, which exceeded the expansion’s design capacity by over 40 percent. As a result, Colonsay’s peaking capacity increased from 1.8 to 2.5 million tonnes, and Mosaic’s Canpotex entitlement percentage increased from approximately 38.8 to 40.6 percent beginning in January, 2015. |
• | The ongoing Esterhazy K3 expansion continues on time and on budget, with both shafts more than 1,700 feet below surface. During the quarter, Mosaic’s Board of Directors approved the additional expansion of K3 to provide the option to transition ore production from Esterhazy’s K1 and K2 shafts to an expanded K3 shaft. |
• | The Company completed integration of CF Industries’ phosphates business. |
• | Mosaic completed the acquisition of Archer Daniels Midland’s fertilizer distribution business in Brazil and Paraguay. |
• | The Company closed on the sale of Argentina assets, discontinued distribution operations in Chile, and ceased MOP production at the Carlsbad, New Mexico, potash mine. |
• | Mosaic set a new MicroEssentials® sales record for the fourth quarter and for 2014. Sales in North America grew 14 percent in 2014 over the prior year. The New Wales MicroEssentials® expansion continues on time and on budget. |
• | Mosaic set a new safety performance record for the full year 2014, improving on the prior year record performance by over eight percent. |
• | In the quarter, Mosaic repurchased 5.9 million shares at an average price of $44.12, resulting in a full year 2014 total of 59.1 million shares or $2.8 billion, at an average price of $46.83 per share. Since the beginning of 2015, the Company repurchased additional 1.7 million in shares. |
Phosphates
Phosphates Results | 4Q 2014 Actual | 4Q 2014 Initial Guidance |
Average DAP Selling Price | $448 | $430 to $450 |
Sales Volume | 3.3 million tonnes | 2.5 to 2.8 million tonnes |
Processed Phosphate Production | 81% of operational capacity | 70-80% of operational capacity |

“Our Phosphates business ended the year with robust global shipments and prices strengthened,” Prokopanko said. “Following our production curtailment, raw material prices softened and customers stepped in to buy and we accomplished our goal of not producing high cost inventory ahead of the spring application season. As we look ahead, higher realized prices and lower raw materials costs should bode well for the performance of our Phosphates’ business.”
Net sales in the Phosphates segment were $1.6 billion for the fourth quarter, up four percent compared to last year, as lower sales volumes were more than offset by higher finished product prices. Gross margin was $286 million, or 18 percent of net sales, compared to $188 million, or 12 percent of net sales, for the same period a year ago. The year-over-year change in gross margin rate primarily reflects higher finished product selling prices and lower phosphate rock costs, partially offset by higher ammonia and sulfur costs. Operating earnings were $184 million, up from $96 million in the same quarter last year.
The fourth quarter average DAP selling price, FOB plant, was $448 per tonne, compared to $381 per tonne a year ago. Phosphates segment total sales volumes were 3.3 million tonnes, down from 3.4 million tonnes last year.
Mosaic’s North American finished phosphate production was 2.4 million tonnes, or 81 percent of operational capacity, compared to 2.0 million tonnes, or 81 percent a year ago.
Potash
Potash Results | 4Q 2014 Actual | 4Q 2014 Initial Guidance |
Average MOP Selling Price | $295 | $275 to $295 |
Sales Volume | 2.3 million tonnes | 2.0 to 2.3 million tonnes |
Potash Production | 91% of operational capacity | 85-90% of operational capacity |
“Our Potash business delivered outstanding results, with record production volumes and one of the lowest quarterly cash costs per tonne in Mosaic’s history,” Prokopanko said. “Looking ahead, we expect strong demand to carry into 2015 with low pipeline inventories and constructive farm economics. Mosaic is well positioned for improving industry fundamentals, with expanded low-cost Canadian production more than offsetting our higher-cost Carlsbad MOP operations, which closed during the fourth quarter.”
Net sales in the Potash segment totaled $763 million for the fourth quarter, up from $652 million last year, driven by higher shipment volumes partially offset by a lower average price. Gross margin was $304 million, or 40 percent of net sales, compared to $134 million, or 21 percent of net sales a year ago. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was driven by higher net sales combined with lower costs of goods sold as a result of both cost savings initiatives and a higher operating rate.

The fourth quarter average MOP selling price, FOB plant, was $295 per tonne, down from $303 per tonne a year ago as a result of a higher percentage of lower priced international sales. The Potash segment’s total sales volumes for the fourth quarter were 2.3 million tonnes, compared to 1.9 million tonnes a year ago.
Potash production was 2.6 million tonnes, or 91 percent of operational capacity, up from 1.7 million tonnes, or 65 percent of operational capacity a year ago, as a result of strong demand and a successful proving run at the Colonsay mine.
Other
SG&A expenses were $91 million for the fourth quarter, flat with last year, with cost saving initiatives and portfolio optimization offset by an expanded business footprint and higher incentive compensation.
The effective tax rate in the quarter was seven percent. The provision for income taxes included tax benefits of $101 million related to the acquisition of the Brazilian distribution business and the tax effects of other notable items. Excluding these tax benefits, the effective tax rate in the quarter was approximately 29 percent.
Financial Guidance
“We are seeing the benefits of the many strategic initiatives we completed last year,” Prokopanko said. “We continue to watch grain and oilseed prices, but we are optimistic heading into 2015. At Mosaic, we’ve taken advantage of the short-term cyclical dips and are well positioned to capitalize on the inevitable upward secular trends.”
Total sales volumes for the Phosphates segment are expected to range from 2.8 to 3.1 million tonnes for the first quarter of 2015, compared to 2.7 million tonnes last year. Mosaic’s realized DAP price, FOB plant, is estimated to range from $440 to $465 per tonne for the first quarter of 2015. The segment gross margin rate in the first quarter is estimated to be in the mid-teens and the operating rate is expected to be in the 80 to 85 percent range.
The Company will provide updated Phosphates guidance reflecting the separation of the phosphate manufacturing and international distribution businesses in March, 2015.
Total sales volumes for the Potash segment are expected to range from 2.0 to 2.3 million tonnes for the first quarter of 2015, compared to 2.4 million tonnes last year. Mosaic’s realized MOP price, FOB plant, for the first quarter of 2015 is estimated to range from $270 to $295 per tonne. Mosaic’s gross margin rate in the segment is expected in the high 30 percent range during the first quarter of 2015, while the operating rate is expected to be in the 85 to 90 percent range in preparation for anticipated strong demand this spring.
For the 2015 full year, Mosaic estimates:
• | SG&A expenses to range from $360 to $380 million, inclusive of costs from the newly acquired distribution business in Brazil and Paraguay. |
• | Canadian resource taxes and royalties to range from $215 to $275 million. |
4
|
• | Brine management costs to be in the range of $180 to $200 million. |
• | The effective tax rate to revert to the long-term expected rate of low to mid twenty percent range. |
• | Capital expenditures and investments in the range of $1.1 to $1.4 billion. |
• | Phosphates sales volumes in the range of 14.5 to 15.0 million tonnes. |
• | Potash sales volumes in the range of 8.5 to 9.0 million tonnes. |

The Company has presented above gross margin excluding Canadian resource taxes and royalties (“CRT”) for Potash 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 Potash 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.
