FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 

THE MOSAIC COMPANY REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2017 RESULTS

Announces Phosphate Asset Optimization
Provides Updated Targets for Brazil
Reduces Annual Dividend Target to $0.10 per share
PLYMOUTH, MN, October 31, 2017 - The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) today reported third quarter 2017 net income of $227 million, compared to net income of $39 million in the third quarter of 2016. Third quarter earnings per diluted share were $0.65, which included a positive impact of $0.22 from notable items. The Company also provided a strategic update identifying cumulative cash flow improvements in excess of $1 billion by the end of 2020.
“Mosaic is taking proactive steps to accelerate business performance,” said Joc O’Rourke, President and Chief Executive Officer. “While these decisions are difficult and have impacts on our employees, today’s actions put Mosaic in a strong position to benefit as market dynamics improve.”
 Key Actions:
Mosaic announced the idling of its Plant City, Florida concentrates plant for an indefinite period of at least one year. The move is expected to ensure minimal market disruption from new capacity additions, including Mosaic’s Saudi Arabian joint venture, and is expected to result in higher phosphate margins and lower capital requirements.
The Company expects to serve a significant portion of its distribution business and other Indian customers more effectively with phosphate production from its Saudi Arabian joint venture and will focus U.S. production on the North and South American markets where it has logistical advantages.
The Company has identified additional value creation opportunities ahead of the pending acquisition of Vale Fertilizantes, which are expected to result in $275 million of annualized improved cash flow by the end of 2020. The $275 million target is comprised of $125 million in updated expectations for pre-tax synergies and $150 million of anticipated business transformation benefits relating to Mosaic’s consolidated business in Brazil. This guidance replaces the previously announced target of $75 million in annual operating synergies.




Mosaic approved a reduction in the annual dividend target to $0.10 per share and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.025 per share to be paid on December 21, 2017 to stockholders of record as of close of business on December 7, 2017.
Mosaic’s net sales in the third quarter of 2017 were $2.0 billion, flat with last year, with lower phosphate sales volumes offset by higher international distribution volumes and higher realized potash prices. Operating earnings during the quarter were $214 million, up from $70 million a year ago, despite a $26 million negative impact in Phosphates from Hurricane Irma.
Cash flow provided by operating activities in the third quarter of 2017 was $136 million compared to $88 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures totaled $198 million in the quarter. Mosaic’s total cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, were $686 million and long-term debt was $3.8 billion as of September 30, 2017. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company completed a lease finance transaction for an ammonia tug and barge and received approximately $200 million in cash.
“We delivered solid operational performance across our three businesses during the third quarter, and demand for our products continues to be strong,” said Rich Mack, Mosaic’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  “Once the pending Vale Fertilizantes acquisition closes, we intend to prioritize our excess cash flow toward debt repayment so that we can return to our targeted leverage ratios. The comprehensive set of actions announced today is an important part of our deleveraging plan and protecting our balance sheet.”

“Hurricane Irma’s impact aside, Mosaic’s strong operational performance and better price realization benefited margins during the quarter,” O’Rourke said. “Our decision to idle Plant City is expected to result in lower capital spending and higher gross margins going forward.”
Net sales in the Phosphates segment were $779 million for the third quarter, down from $930 million last year, driven by lower sales volumes primarily as a result of Hurricane Irma. Gross margin was $67 million, or nine percent of net sales, compared to $101 million, or 11 percent of net sales, for the same period a year ago. Third quarter gross margin includes $26 million of higher costs from Hurricane Irma which lowered the gross margin rate from 12 percent to nine percent during the third quarter. The Phosphates’ gross margin rate during the current quarter benefited from higher finished product prices and lower sulfur and ammonia costs, partially offset by higher phosphate rock costs as a result of a higher mix of purchased rock.




The third quarter average DAP selling price, FOB plant, was $329 per tonne, compared to $326 per tonne a year ago. Phosphates segment total sales volumes were 2.1 million tonnes, down from 2.5 million tonnes last year. Current quarter sales were negatively impacted by approximately 220,000 tonnes as a result of the Company’s declaration of a force majeure resulting from Hurricane Irma.
Mosaic’s North American finished phosphate production was 2.3 million tonnes, or 80 percent of operational capacity, compared to 2.5 million tonnes, or 84 percent a year ago, during the third quarter of 2017.

“Potash results reflect excellent cost control and constructive market dynamics with continued margin improvement from last year’s levels,” O’Rourke said. “The combination of strong demand, lean channel inventories and minimal production from new capacity next year underpins our constructive near-term potash outlook. Over the longer term, we expect the completion of our Esterhazy K3 project to further improve Mosaic’s position as a low cost global potash producer.”
Net sales in the Potash segment totaled $474 million for the third quarter, up from $428 million last year, driven primarily by higher realized prices. Gross margin was $99 million, or 21 percent of net sales, compared to $40 million, or nine percent of net sales a year ago. Current quarter gross margin included a $10 million negative impact relating to the expected resolution of a royalty matter with the government of Saskatchewan which lowered gross margin rate from 23 percent to 21 percent during the quarter. The year-over-year increase in gross margin rate was primarily driven by higher realized product prices, higher operating rates and lower plant spending.
The third quarter average MOP selling price, FOB plant, was $182 per tonne, up from $160 per tonne a year ago. The Potash segment’s total sales volumes for the third quarter were 2.2 million tonnes, flat with last year’s levels.
Potash production for the third quarter was 2.2 million tonnes, or 87 percent of operational capacity, up from 1.7 million tonnes, or 63 percent of operational capacity last year, largely driven by timing of turnaround activity.

“Once the acquisition of Vale Fertilizantes is complete, we expect to transform our vertically integrated business in Brazil into an upstream and downstream fertilizer powerhouse,” O’Rourke said. “We have plans to achieve a $275 million annual run-rate improvement in cash flow in Brazil by the end of 2020, which spans the entire value chain, focusing on operational efficiencies, go-to-market strategies, corporate overhead, procurement and others. We are excited about the acquisition and are confident in our ability to deliver on these targets.”
Net sales in the International Distribution segment were $931 million for the third quarter, up from $849 million last year, driven by higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Gross margin was $64 million, or $25 per tonne, compared to $71 million, or $32 per tonne for the same period a year ago. The year-over-year decrease in gross margin per tonne is driven lower margins on commodity fertilizer products in Brazil.
The third quarter average selling price was $366 per tonne, compared to $380 per tonne a year ago. International Distribution segment total sales volumes were 2.5 million tonnes, up from 2.2 million tonnes last year.
Other
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses were $66 million for the third quarter, down from $67 million last year, reflecting Mosaic’s ongoing progress on expense management initiatives.
Financial Guidance
“We are taking proactive steps to minimize disruption to the phosphates market as it absorbs new capacity additions,” O’Rourke said. “Combined with our plans to transform the Brazil business, Mosaic is in an excellent position to capitalize on the long-term secular trends and create value for all of our stakeholders.”
Total sales volumes for the Phosphates segment are expected to range from 2.3 to 2.6 million tonnes for the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to 2.5 million tonnes last year. Mosaic’s realized DAP price, FOB plant, is estimated to range from $320 to $350 per tonne for the fourth quarter of 2017. The segment gross margin rate in the fourth quarter is estimated to be in the upper single digits, including an estimated $9 million carry-over impact from Hurricane Irma, and the operating rate is expected to be in the low to mid 80 percent range.
Total sales volumes for the Potash segment are expected to range from 1.9 to 2.2 million tonnes for the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to 2.0 million tonnes last year. Mosaic’s realized MOP price, FOB plant, is estimated to range from $175 to




$195 per tonne. Mosaic’s gross margin rate in the segment is expected to be in the upper teens, reflecting a negative impact of production mix and scheduled turnarounds during the quarter. The operating rate is expected to be in the low 80 percent range.
Total sales volumes for the International Distribution segment are expected to range from 1.5 to 1.8 million tonnes for the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to 1.9 million tonnes last year. The segment gross margin per tonne is estimated to be around $20.
For calendar 2017, Mosaic now expects:
SG&A expenses to range from $290 to $300 million, down from previous guidance of $295 million to $310 million.
Canadian resource taxes to range from $85 to $100 million, down from previous guidance of $90 to $110 million and excluding the impact of the expected royalty settlement.
Full-year effective tax rate to be approximately zero. The variability in the effective tax rate is impacted by changes in the expected annual pre-tax earnings and global earnings mix.
Brine management costs and capital expenditure guidance remains unchanged at $150 to $160 million and $800 to $850 million, respectively.
