Note regarding non-GAAP financial measures The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss) earnings, and adjusted net (loss) earnings per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, provide additional meaningful information regarding the company's performance and financial strength. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss) earnings, and adjusted net (loss) earnings per diluted share included in this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss) earnings, and adjusted net (loss) earnings per diluted share to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables accompanying this presentation. EBITDA is defined as net (loss) earnings attributable to common stockholders plus interest expense (income)-net, income taxes, and depreciation 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 interests. The company has 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 the industry. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted with the selected items included in EBITDA as summarized in the tables accompanying this presentation. The company has presented adjusted EBITDA because management uses adjusted EBITDA, and believes it is useful to investors, as a supplemental financial measure in the comparison of year-over-year performance. Adjusted net (loss) earnings is defined as net (loss) earnings attributable to common stockholders adjusted with the impacts of the selected items included in net (loss) earnings as summarized in the tables accompanying this presentation. The company has presented adjusted net (loss) earnings and adjusted net (loss) earnings per diluted share because management uses these measures, and believes they are useful to investors, as supplemental financial measures in the comparison of year-over-year performance.

Port Neal Nitrogen Complex – Fully Operational CF Well Positioned for Industry Recovery

 


Chinese Marginal Producers: Rising Costs and Decreased Production Global Production Costs Expected to Increase in 2017 Nitrogen Demand Outlook Market outlook Long-term Recovery Expected in 2018 and Beyond Continued higher crude oil prices have increased effective natural gas costs across Europe and Russia North American natural gas is likely to remain plentiful and priced significantly below crude oil parity Consistent with recent years, world nitrogen demand expected to increase approximately 2% in 2017 CF expects North American nitrogen fertilizer demand to be relatively unchanged in full year 2017 at roughly 16 million nutrient tons, requiring approximately 7 million imported nutrient tons to meet North American agricultural and industrial demand North America to remain import dependent for nitrogen for the foreseeable future Chinese urea operating rates declined to roughly 50% for Q4 2016 and January 2017, driven by low global prices, higher coal costs, lower subsidies and concerns over pollution/air-quality Total 2016 Chinese urea exports of 8.9 million metric tons, expected to decline to 5-6 million metric tons in 2017 At current urea operating rates, Chinese demand for urea is expected to exceed available domestic supply during the spring. Chinese manufacturers will need to increase urea production, or purchasers will need to import urea in order to meet seasonal domestic needs Significantly reduced Chinese urea export availability expected to support global pricing through the first half of 2017 Although more than 4 million metric tons of net new global urea capacity expected in 2017, approximately one-third is only upgrades of existing ammonia and does not represent new nitrogen production North American nitrogen prices expected to be higher in 2017 compared to 2016 with continued strength in the first half and somewhat uncertain outlook for second half of 2017 CF expects more sustained global nitrogen price recovery to begin in 2018

China closed a significant volume of urea capacity in 2016 Sources within China report 32 urea facilities in “permanent closure” or “closure with no foreseeable restart” status in 2016 Total volume of Chinese closures in 2016 is 8.8 million metric tons/year of designed capacity; predominately in the small-scale, anthracite lump-based producer segment.

CF’s capital allocation philosophy Commitment to investment grade metrics over the long term Pursue growth within strategic fairway, where returns exceed risk-adjusted cost of capital and the investments are cash flow accretive on a per share basis Consistently return excess cash to shareholders in a timely fashion: historic bias towards share repurchases Philosophy remains unchanged Near-term priority: focus on liquidity ~$1.2 billion in cash on the balance sheet at 2016 year-end $750 million undrawn revolver as of December 31, 2016(1) Approximate $800 million cash tax refund expected in 2017 New capital expenditures for 2017 are estimated to be in the range of approximately $400-450 million for sustaining and other. Actual cash expenditures will also reflect amounts accrued but not paid in 2016. At December 31, 2016, approximately $225 million was accrued related to activities in 2016. Debt capital structure Completed the issuance of $1.25 billion of senior secured notes, proceeds were used primarily to fund the prepayment of the $1.0 billion principal amount of CF Industries, Inc.’s senior notes due 2022, 2025, and 2027 Next de-levering opportunity: $800 million bond due May 2018 $695 million availability as of December 31, 2016 (net of $55 million of outstanding LOCs)
