Nutrien Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

• First half results supported by strong operational performance and favorable fertilizer market fundamentals.
• Increasing 2025 full-year Potash sales volume guidance range, maintaining capital allocation priorities and continuing to show progress on 2026 performance targets.

All amounts are in US dollars, except as otherwise noted

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nutrien Ltd. (TSX and NYSE: NTR) announced today its second quarter 2025 results, with net earnings of $1.2 billion ($2.50 diluted net earnings per share). Second quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA¹ was $2.5 billion and adjusted net earnings per share¹ was $2.65.

鈥淣utrien delivered growth in earnings and cash flow in the first half of 2025, demonstrating strong operational performance and execution on our strategic priorities. We sold record Potash sales volumes, increased Nitrogen operating rates and lowered expenses, while further optimizing capital expenditures and consistently returning cash to shareholders,鈥� commented Ken Seitz, Nutrien鈥檚 President and CEO.

鈥淔ertilizer market fundamentals are supported by strong global demand, persistent supply disruptions and project delays. We have seen healthy fertilizer customer engagement and field activity in North America to start the third quarter as farmers focus on maximizing crop yield potential,鈥� added Mr. Seitz.

Highlights²:

• Generated net earnings of $1.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $3.3 billion in the first half of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA increased from the same period in 2024 due to higher fertilizer sales volumes and net selling prices.

• Retail adjusted EBITDA was $1.2 billion in the first half of 2025. Dry weather in Australia and wet conditions in the southern US impacted crop input sales and margins, offsetting the favorable impact of lower expenses and higher crop nutrient volumes in North America.

• Potash adjusted EBITDA increased to $1.1 billion in the first half of 2025 due to higher net selling prices and record sales volumes, supported by strong demand in North America and key offshore markets.

• Nitrogen adjusted EBITDA increased to $1.1 billion in the first half of 2025 due to higher net selling prices and sales volumes. Our operations delivered a record ammonia operating rate³ of 98 percent in the first half of 2025, achieved through improved reliability at our sites.

• Returned $0.8 billion to shareholders in the first half of 2025 through dividends and share repurchases. We repurchased 5.7 million shares in 2025 for a total of $316 million, as of August 5, 2025.

• Raising 2025 full-year Potash sales volume guidance to 13.9 to 14.5 million tonnes. All other full-year operational guidance ranges remain unchanged.

Market Outlook and Guidance

Agriculture and Retail Markets

• Favorable crop production prospects in the US and Brazil have pressured crop prices and prospective grower margins. Despite lower crop prices, demand for crop inputs in North America has been strong to start the third quarter of 2025 as farmers aim to maintain optimal plant health and yield potential.

• Brazilian soybean acreage is expected to increase by one to three percent in 2025, supported by strong international soybean demand. Farmers in Brazil have been more active purchasing crop inputs in advance of the upcoming spring planting season compared to the prior two years.

• In Australia, timely rains improved winter crop planting prospects and are expected to support crop input demand in the second half of 2025.

Crop Nutrient Markets

• Global potash demand in the first half of 2025 was supported by strong potash affordability and low channel inventories. The settlement of contracts with India and China in June and favorable economics for key crops grown in Southeast Asia is expected to support demand in standard grade markets in the second half of 2025. Solid uptake on our potash summer fill program in North America and stable demand in Brazil are expected to support third quarter shipments. As a result, we have raised our 2025 full-year global potash shipment forecast to 73 to 75 million tonnes.

• Global urea supply and demand has remained tight, driven by strong seasonal demand from markets including India, combined with unplanned outages in key producing regions. US urea and UAN prices have been supported by low domestic inventories and trade flow shifts which we anticipate continuing in the second half of 2025.

• Global ammonia prices have strengthened in the third quarter of 2025 due to plant outages, project delays and improved demand from phosphate producers.

• Phosphate markets continue to be tight due to limited supply, including from Chinese export restrictions. We anticipate that global shipments in 2025 will be constrained by supply availability and weaker grower affordability for phosphate fertilizer could impact demand.

Financial and Operational Guidance

• Retail adjusted EBITDA guidance of $1.65 to $1.85 billion assumes higher North American crop nutrient and crop protection sales in the second half of 2025 compared to 2024, improved moisture conditions in Australia and continued recovery in Brazil.

• Potash sales volume guidance was increased to 13.9 to 14.5 million tonnes due to expectations for higher global demand in 2025. The range is consistent with our historical share of global shipments.

• Nitrogen sales volume guidance of 10.7 to 11.2 million tonnes assumes lower ammonia operating rates in the second half of 2025 compared to the record achieved in the first half of 2025 due to planned turnaround activity at our North American plants.

• Phosphate sales volume guidance of 2.35 to 2.55 million tonnes assumes improved operating rates and sales volumes in the second half of 2025 compared to the prior year with the completion of planned turnarounds in the first half of 2025.

• Total capital expenditures of $2.0 to $2.1 billion are expected to be below the prior year. This total includes approximately $400 to $500 million in investing capital expenditures focused on proprietary products, network optimization and digital capabilities in Retail, low-cost brownfield expansions in Nitrogen and mine automation projects in Potash.

• Effective tax rate on adjusted net earnings guidance was increased to 24.0% to 26.0% due to a change to our expected geographic mix of earnings.

All guidance numbers, including those noted above, are outlined in the table below. Refer to page 58 of our 2024 Annual Report for anticipated fertilizer pricing and natural gas price sensitivities relating to adjusted EBITDA (consolidated) and adjusted net earnings per share.

Consolidated Results

Net earnings and adjusted EBITDA increased in the second quarter and first half of 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to higher fertilizer sales volumes and net selling prices. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2024 were impacted by non-cash impairments of assets and a loss on foreign currency derivatives in Brazil.

Segment Results

Our discussion of segment results set out on the following pages is a comparison of the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, unless otherwise noted.

Nutrien Ag Solutions (鈥淩etail鈥�)

• Retail adjusted EBITDA increased in the second quarter of 2025 due to higher gross margin for crop nutrients and lower expenses, partially offset by lower seed margins. Dry weather in Australia and wet conditions in the southern US impacted crop input sales and margins in the first half of 2025, offsetting a six percent reduction in selling and general and administrative expenses and higher crop nutrient volumes in North America.

• Crop nutrients sales and gross margin increased in the second quarter of 2025 due to higher sales volumes and selling prices in North America, partially offset by lower sales volumes in Australia due to hot and dry conditions. First half of 2025 sales and gross margin were impacted by lower sales volumes due to strategic actions related to our margin improvement plan in Brazil.

• Crop protection products sales and gross margin were lower in the second quarter and first half of 2025 due to hot and dry conditions in Australia and product mix shifts in North America.

• Seed sales and gross margin decreased in the second quarter and first half of 2025 due to weather related impacts in the southern US leading to fewer planted acres which impacted proprietary products gross margin.

Potash

• Potash adjusted EBITDA increased in the second quarter and first half of 2025 due to higher net selling prices and record sales volumes, partially offset by higher provincial mining taxes.

• Sales volumes in the second quarter and first half of 2025 were the highest on record, supported by healthy potash affordability and strong underlying consumption in North America and key offshore markets.

• Net selling price per tonne increased in the second quarter and first half of 2025 driven by higher benchmark prices in Brazil and Southeast Asia, partially offset by lower benchmark prices in North America compared to the same periods last year.

• Cost of goods sold per tonne increased in the second quarter and first half of 2025 primarily due to higher depreciation. Controllable cash cost of product manufactured per tonne increased in the first half of 2025 driven by lower planned potash production and higher turnaround costs.

Nitrogen

• Nitrogen adjusted EBITDA increased in the second quarter and first half of 2025 due to higher net selling prices and higher sales volumes, which more than offset higher natural gas costs and lower equity earnings from Profertil S.A. Second quarter of 2024 adjusted EBITDA benefited from insurance recoveries included in other income. Our operations delivered a record ammonia operating rate of 98 percent in the first half of 2025, achieved through improved reliability at our sites.

• Sales volumes increased in the second quarter and first half of 2025 due to strong demand and increased production of ammonia and upgraded nitrogen products.

• Net selling price per tonne was higher in the second quarter and first half of 2025 for all major upgraded nitrogen products due to stronger benchmark prices. Ammonia net selling price per tonne was higher in the second quarter of 2025 despite lower global benchmark prices, reflecting the favorable mix of fertilizer sales in the quarter.

• Cost of goods sold per tonne increased in the second quarter and first half of 2025 due to higher natural gas costs.

Phosphate

• Phosphate adjusted EBITDA was higher in the second quarter due to higher net selling prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes and higher sulfur input costs. Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2025 decreased due to the impact of lower production volumes and higher sulfur input costs, which more than offset higher net selling prices.

• Sales volumes were lower in the second quarter and first half of 2025 due to the impact of lower production volumes in the first quarter.

• Net selling price per tonne increased in the second quarter and first half of 2025 due to strong phosphate fertilizer fundamentals and optimization of product mix, partially offset by lower industrial net selling prices which reflect the typical lag in price realizations relative to benchmark prices.

• Cost of goods sold per tonne increased in the second quarter and first half of 2025 due to increased sulfur input costs, higher depreciation and the impact of lower production volumes in the first quarter.

Corporate and Others and Eliminations

• Share-based compensation expense was higher in the second quarter and first half of 2025 due to an increase in the fair value of our share-based awards. The fair value of our share-based awards takes into consideration several factors such as our share price movement, our performance relative to our peer group and our return on invested capital.

• Foreign exchange loss, net of related derivatives was lower in the second quarter and first half of 2025 due to a lower loss on foreign currency derivatives in Brazil.

Finance Costs, Income Taxes and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

• Income tax expense was higher in the second quarter and first half of 2025 mainly due to higher earnings. The decrease in the effective tax rate on ordinary earnings in the second quarter and first half of 2025 was mainly due to lower losses in South America.

• Other comprehensive income (loss) is primarily driven by changes in the currency translation of our foreign operations. In the second quarter and first half of 2025, the gain was higher mainly due to the appreciation of the Brazilian, Australian and Canadian currencies, relative to the US dollar, compared to a depreciation of Brazilian and Canadian currencies relative to the US dollar for the same periods in 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and uses of liquidity

We continued to manage our capital in accordance with our capital allocation strategy. We believe that our internally generated cash flow, supplemented by available borrowings under new or existing financing sources, if necessary, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital expenditures, planned growth and development activities, and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future. Refer to the 鈥淐apital Structure and Management鈥� section for details on our existing long-term debt and credit facilities.

Sources and uses of cash

Financial Condition Review

The following is a comparison of balance sheet categories that are considered material:

• Explanations for changes in Cash and cash equivalents are in the 鈥淟iquidity and Capital Resources - Sources and uses of cash鈥� section.

• Receivables increased primarily due to the seasonality of Retail sales and higher Potash sales volumes.

• Inventories decreased due to the seasonality of our Retail segment. Our North American inventory levels typically build up at year end in preparation for the following year's planting and application season and are drawn on in the succeeding quarters.

• Prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased due to Retail taking delivery of prepaid inventories during the planting and application season in North America.

• Property, plant and equipment decreased due to depreciation more than offsetting capital expenditures.

• Investments decreased due to the disposal of our remaining investment in Sinofert in the first half of 2025 and dividends received from Profertil S.A.

• Short-term debt increased due to higher draws on our credit facilities based on our working capital requirements driven by the seasonality of our business.

• Payables and accrued charges decreased due to lower customer prepayments in North America as Retail customers took delivery of prepaid sales, partially offset by higher income tax payable from strong earnings in the second quarter of 2025.

• Long-term debt, including current portion, increased due to the issuance of $1,000 million of senior notes in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by the repayment of $500 million of senior notes in the second quarter of 2025.

• Retained earnings increased as net earnings exceeded dividends declared and share repurchases in the first half of 2025.听

Capital Structure and Management

Principal debt instruments

As part of the normal course of business, we closely monitor our liquidity position. We use a combination of cash generated from operations and short-term and long-term debt to finance our operations. We continually evaluate various financing arrangements and may seek to engage in transactions from time to time when market and other conditions are favorable. We were in compliance with our debt covenants and did not have any changes to our credit ratings for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Capital structure (debt and equity)

Commercial paper, credit facilities and other debt

We have a total facility limit of approximately $8,030 million comprised of several credit facilities available in the jurisdictions where we operate. In North America, we have a commercial paper program, which is limited to the undrawn amount under our $4,500 million unsecured revolving term credit facility and excess cash invested in highly liquid securities.

As at June 30, 2025, we utilized $1,934 million of our total facility limit, which includes $1,654 million of commercial paper outstanding.

As at June 30, 2025, $214 million in letters of credit were outstanding and committed, with $452 million of remaining credit available under our letter of credit facilities.

Our long-term debt consists primarily of notes and debentures. See the 鈥淐apital Structure and Management鈥� section of our 2024 Annual Report for information on balances, rates and maturities for our notes and debentures. During the first half of 2025, we issued $400 million of 4.500 percent senior notes due March 12, 2027 and $600 million of 5.250 percent senior notes due March 12, 2032, and repaid our $500 million 3.000 percent senior notes upon maturity on April 1, 2025. See note 6 to the interim financial statements.

Outstanding share data

Quarterly Results

Our quarterly earnings are significantly affected by the seasonality of our business, fertilizer benchmark prices, which have been volatile over the last two years and are affected by demand-supply conditions, grower affordability and weather. See Note 2 to the interim financial statements.

The following table describes certain items that impacted our quarterly earnings:

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report. We have discussed the development, selection and application of our key accounting policies, and the critical accounting estimates and assumptions they involve, with the Audit Committee of the Board. Our critical accounting estimates are discussed on pages 65 to 66 of our 2024 Annual Report. There were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates for the three or six months ended June 30, 2025.

Controls and Procedures

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (鈥淚CFR鈥�), as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers鈥� Annual and Interim Filings. ICFR is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Any system of ICFR, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use both IFRS measures and certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures disclosed by the Company that: (a) depict historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of the Company; (b) with respect to their composition, exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the Company; (c) are not disclosed in the financial statements of the Company; and (d) are not a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation. Non-GAAP ratios are financial measures disclosed by the Company that are in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation that has a non-GAAP financial measure as one or more of its components, and that are not disclosed in the financial statements of the Company.

These non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other companies. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide transparent and useful supplemental information to help investors evaluate our financial performance, financial condition and liquidity using the same measures as management. These non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The following section outlines our non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, their compositions, and why management uses each measure. It also includes reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Except as otherwise described herein, our non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are calculated on a consistent basis from period to period and are adjusted for specific items in each period, as applicable. As additional non-recurring or unusual items arise in the future, we generally exclude these items in our calculations.

Adjusted EBITDA (Consolidated)

Most directly comparable IFRS financial measure: Net earnings (loss).

Definition: Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net earnings (loss) before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and foreign exchange gain/loss (net of related derivatives). We also adjust this measure for the following other income and expenses that are excluded when management evaluates the performance of our day-to-day operations: certain integration and restructuring related costs, impairment or reversal of impairment of assets, gain or loss on disposal of certain businesses and investments, asset retirement obligations (鈥淎RO鈥�) and accrued environmental costs (鈥淓RL鈥�) related to our non-operating sites, and loss related to financial instruments in Argentina.

Why we use the measure and why it is useful to investors: It is not impacted by long-term investment and financing decisions, but rather focuses on the performance of our day-to-day operations. It provides a measure of our ability to service debt and to meet other payment obligations and as a component of employee remuneration calculations.

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings Per Share

Most directly comparable IFRS financial measure: Net earnings (loss) and diluted net earnings (loss) per share.

Definition: Adjusted net earnings and related per share information are calculated as net earnings (loss) before share-based compensation and foreign exchange gain/loss (net of related derivatives), net of tax. We also adjust this measure for the following other income and expenses (net of tax) that are excluded when management evaluates the performance of our day-to-day operations: certain integration and restructuring related costs, impairment or reversal of impairment of assets, gain or loss on disposal of certain businesses and investments, gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt or on settlement of derivatives due to discontinuance of hedge accounting, asset retirement obligations and accrued environmental costs related to our non-operating sites, loss related to financial instruments in Argentina, change in recognition of tax losses and deductible temporary differences related to impairments and certain changes to tax declarations. We generally apply the annual forecasted effective tax rate to specific adjustments during the year, and at year-end, we apply the actual effective tax rate.

We do not provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking measure to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS because a meaningful or accurate calculation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort due to unknown variables, including the timing and amount of certain reconciling items, and the uncertainty related to future results. These unknown variables may include unpredictable transactions of significant value that may be inherently difficult to determine without unreasonable efforts. The probable significance of such unavailable information, which could be material to future results, cannot be addressed.
