NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Background and Basis of Presentation

Our mission is to provide clean energy to feed and fuel the world sustainably. With our employees focused on safe and reliable operations, environmental stewardship, and disciplined capital and corporate management, we are on a path to decarbonize our ammonia production network – the world’s largest – to enable low-carbon hydrogen and nitrogen products for energy, fertilizer, emissions abatement, and other industrial activities. Our manufacturing complexes in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, an extensive storage, transportation and distribution network in North America, and logistics capabilities enabling a global reach underpin our strategy to leverage our unique capabilities to accelerate the world’s transition to clean energy. Our principal customers are cooperatives, retailers, independent fertilizer distributors, traders, wholesalers and industrial users. Our core product is anhydrous ammonia (ammonia), which contains 82% nitrogen and 18% hydrogen. Products derived from ammonia that are most often used as nitrogen fertilizers include granular urea, urea ammonium nitrate solution (UAN) and ammonium nitrate (AN). AN is also used extensively by the commercial explosives industry as a component of explosives. Products derived from ammonia that are sold primarily to industrial customers include diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), urea liquor, nitric acid and aqua ammonia.

All references to “CF Holdings,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to CF Industries Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where the context makes clear that the reference is to CF Industries Holdings, Inc. only and not its subsidiaries. All references to “CF Industries” refer to CF Industries, Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of CF Industries Holdings, Inc.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of CF Holdings include the accounts of CF Industries, all of CF Holdings’ majority-owned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity of which we are the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. See Note 12—Variable Interest Entity and Note 13—Noncontrolling Interests for additional information.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, that are necessary for the fair representation of the information for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Operating results for any period presented apply to that period only and are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025. The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires us to make use of estimates and assumptions that may significantly affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Such estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, net realizable value of inventories, environmental remediation liabilities, environmental and litigation contingencies, asset retirement obligations, the cost of emission credits required to meet environmental regulations, the cost of customer incentives, useful lives of property and identifiable intangible assets, the evaluation of potential impairments of property, investments, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, income tax reserves, including any related interest and penalties, and the assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets, measurement of the fair values of investments for which markets are not active, the determination of the funded status and annual expense of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans, and the valuation of stock-based compensation awards granted to employees.

2. New Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU adds new guidance that further enhances income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. We intend to adopt ASU No. 2023-09 using a retrospective approach beginning with the consolidated financial statements that will be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. We do not expect the adoption will have a material impact on our income tax disclosures.

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires disclosure, within the footnotes to the financial statements, of specified costs and expenses disaggregated from the amounts presented on consolidated statements of operations. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that our adoption of this ASU will have on the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue Recognition

We track our revenue by product and by geography. See Note 15—Segment Disclosures for our revenue by reportable segment, which are Ammonia, Granular Urea, UAN, AN and Other. The following table summarizes our revenue by product and by geography (based on the destination of our shipment) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:


	Ammonia		Granular Urea		UAN		AN		Other		Total
	(in millions)
Three months ended September 30, 2025
North America	$	330	$	423	$	406	$	49	$	120	$	1,328
Europe and other	127		—		111		73		20		331

Total revenue	$	457	$	423	$	517	$	122	$	140	$	1,659
Three months ended September 30, 2024
North America	$	297	$	328	$	313	$	53	$	94	$	1,085
Europe and other	56		60		93		53		23		285
Total revenue	$	353	$	388	$	406	$	106	$	117	$	1,370

Nine months ended September 30, 2025
North America	$	1,111	$	1,409	$	1,372	$	153	$	342	$	4,387
Europe and other	357		—		225		187		56		825

Total revenue	$	1,468	$	1,409	$	1,597	$	340	$	398	$	5,212
Nine months ended September 30, 2024
North America	$	961	$	1,180	$	1,108	$	152	$	310	$	3,711
Europe and other	203		72		198		166		62		701
Total revenue	$	1,164	$	1,252	$	1,306	$	318	$	372	$	4,412

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $477 million and $118 million, respectively, in customer advances on our consolidated balance sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, substantially all of the customer advances at the beginning of each respective period were recognized as revenue.

We offer cash incentives to certain customers generally based on the volume of their purchases over the fertilizer year ending June 30. Our cash incentives do not provide an option to the customer for additional product. The balances of customer incentives accrued as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were not material.

We have certain customer contracts with performance obligations where if the customer does not take the required amount of product specified in the contract, then the customer is required to make a payment to us, the amount of which may vary based upon the terms and conditions of the applicable contract. As of September 30, 2025, excluding contracts with original durations of less than one year, and based on the minimum product tonnage to be sold and current market price estimates, our remaining performance obligations under these contracts were approximately $2.3 billion. We expect to recognize approximately 8% of these performance obligations as revenue in the remainder of 2025, approximately 43% as revenue during 2026-2028, approximately 16% as revenue during 2029-2031, and the remainder as revenue thereafter. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable contracts, if these customers do not satisfy their purchase obligations under such contracts, the minimum amount that they would be required to pay to us under such contracts, in the aggregate, was approximately $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2025. Other than the performance obligations described above, any performance obligations with our customers that were unfulfilled or partially filled at December 31, 2024 will be satisfied in 2025.

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

Supply Contract Liability

In connection with our December 1, 2023 acquisition of the Waggaman ammonia production facility, we entered into a long-term ammonia offtake agreement providing for us to supply up to 200,000 tons of ammonia per year to Dyno Nobel, Inc. (the Supply Contract). The terms of the Supply Contract were determined to be unfavorable compared to market as of the acquisition date. As a result, we recorded an intangible liability with an acquisition date fair value of $757 million, which is being amortized to net sales over the estimated life of the Supply Contract of 25 years. For both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we amortized $8 million of the Supply Contract liability into net sales. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we amortized $23 million of the Supply Contract liability into net sales. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $701 million and $724 million, respectively, in Supply Contract liability on our consolidated balance sheets. Estimated amortization of the Supply Contract liability for the remainder of 2025 is approximately $7 million and for each of the fiscal years 2026 to 2030 is approximately $30 million.

4. Net Earnings Per Share

Net earnings per share were computed as follows:


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024
	(in millions, except per share amounts)
Net earnings attributable to common stockholders	$	353	$	276	$	1,051	$	890
Basic earnings per common share:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding	161.0		178.4		164.2		182.9
Net earnings attributable to common stockholders	$	2.19	$	1.55	$	6.40	$	4.87
Diluted earnings per common share:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding	161.0		178.4		164.2		182.9
Dilutive common shares—stock-based awards	0.2		0.2		0.1		0.2
Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding	161.2		178.6		164.3		183.1
Net earnings attributable to common stockholders	$	2.19	$	1.55	$	6.39	$	4.86

Diluted earnings per common share is calculated using weighted-average common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of stock-based awards as determined under the treasury stock method. In the computation of diluted earnings per common share, potentially dilutive stock-based awards are excluded if the effect of their inclusion is anti-dilutive. Shares for anti-dilutive stock-based awards not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share were zero in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

5. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:


	September 30, 2025		December 31, 2024

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had property, plant and equipment that was accrued but unpaid of $122 million and $68 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization related to property, plant and equipment was $215 million and $665 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $229 million and $701 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Plant turnarounds—Scheduled inspections, replacements and overhauls of plant machinery and equipment at our continuous process manufacturing facilities during a full plant shutdown are referred to as plant turnarounds. The expenditures related to plant turnarounds are capitalized in property, plant and equipment when incurred.

Scheduled replacements and overhauls of plant machinery and equipment during a plant turnaround include the dismantling, repair or replacement and installation of various components including piping, valves, motors, turbines, pumps, compressors and heat exchangers and the replacement of catalysts. Scheduled inspections, including required safety inspections which entail the disassembly of various components such as steam boilers, pressure vessels and other equipment requiring safety certifications, are also conducted during plant turnarounds. Internal employee costs and overhead amounts are not considered plant turnaround costs and are not capitalized.

The following is a summary of capitalized plant turnaround costs:

United Kingdom Operations

In the second quarter of 2022, we approved and announced our proposed plan to restructure our U.K. operations, including the planned permanent closure of the Ince facility, which had been idled since September 2021. For property, plant and equipment within the Ince, U.K. asset group, an asset group planned for abandonment, we first considered use of a market or income-based valuation method. However, given that a secondary market did not exist and the assets had been idled with a planned abandonment and therefore would not generate future cash flows from operations, we estimated the fair value of the asset group by determining the replacement cost of the underlying assets and then adjusting each of the asset categories to an estimated salvage value utilizing industry recognized price publications. In the third quarter of 2022, the final restructuring plan was approved, and the facility was subsequently decommissioned.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Ince facility was sold, including certain liabilities assumed by the buyer, and we recognized a loss of $23 million on the sale. The loss is reflected in U.K. operations restructuring in our consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

7. Equity Method Investment

We have a 50% ownership interest in Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited (PLNL), which operates an ammonia production facility in Trinidad and Tobago. We include our share of the net earnings from this equity method investment as an element of earnings from operations because PLNL provides additional production to our operations and is integrated with our other supply chain and sales activities in the Ammonia segment. As of September 30, 2025, the total carrying value of our equity method investment in PLNL was $35 million.

We have transactions in the normal course of business with PLNL reflecting our obligation to purchase 50% of the ammonia produced by PLNL at current market prices. Our ammonia purchases from PLNL totaled $45 million and $100 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $22 million and $68 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Under our short-term investment policy, we may invest our cash balances, either directly or through mutual funds, in several types of investment-grade securities, including notes and bonds issued by governmental entities or corporations and also in bank deposits. Securities issued by governmental entities include those issued directly by the U.S. and Canadian federal governments; those issued by state, local or other governmental entities; and those guaranteed by entities affiliated with governmental entities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables present assets and liabilities included in our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, and indicate the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair value:


	September 30, 2025
	Total Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our cash equivalents consisted primarily of U.S. and Canadian government obligations and money market mutual funds that invest in U.S. government obligations and other investment-grade securities.

Nonqualified Employee Benefit Trusts

We maintain trusts associated with certain nonqualified supplemental pension plans. The fair values of the trust assets are based on daily quoted prices in an active market and are included on our consolidated balance sheets in other assets. Debt securities are accounted for as available-for-sale securities, and changes in fair value are reported in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale equity securities in the trust assets are recognized through earnings.

Derivative Instruments

The derivative instruments that we use are primarily natural gas fixed price swaps, basis swaps and options traded in the over-the-counter markets with multi-national commercial banks, other major financial institutions or large energy companies. The natural gas derivative contracts represent anticipated natural gas needs for future periods, and settlements are scheduled to coincide with anticipated natural gas purchases during those future periods. The natural gas derivative contracts settle using primarily a NYMEX futures price index. To determine the fair value of these instruments, we use quoted market prices from NYMEX and standard pricing models with inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as forward curves supplied by an industry-recognized independent third party.

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our financial instruments are as follows:


	September 30, 2025				December 31, 2024
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(in millions)
Long-term debt	$	2,974	$	2,923	$	2,971	$	2,827

The fair value of our long-term debt was based on quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities in markets that are not active or valuation models in which all significant inputs and value drivers are observable and, as a result, they are classified as Level 2 inputs.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, as well as any instruments included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair values because of their short-term maturities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We also have assets and liabilities that may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment, when there is allocation of purchase price in an acquisition or when a new liability is being established that requires fair value measurement. These include long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, such as equity method investments, which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment. The fair value measurements related to assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis rely primarily on Company-specific inputs. Since certain of the Company’s assumptions would involve inputs that are not observable, these fair values would reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

9. Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded an income tax provision of $105 million on pre-tax income of $565 million, or an effective tax rate of 18.6%, compared to an income tax provision of $59 million on pre-tax income of $400 million, or an effective tax rate of 14.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, our income tax provision included a $9 million income tax benefit arising from the finalization of tax return filing positions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded an income tax provision of $334 million on pre-tax income of $1.64 billion, or an effective tax rate of 20.4%, compared to an income tax provision of $244 million on pre-tax income of $1.33 billion, or an effective tax rate of 18.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Our income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes $21 million of income tax expense related to an increase in our unrecognized tax benefits resulting from ongoing tax audits, which increased our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 by 1.3 percentage points.

Our effective tax rate is impacted by earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests as our consolidated income tax provision does not include a tax provision on the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 of 18.6%, which is based on pre-tax income of $565 million, including $107 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests, would be 4.3 percentage points higher if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the $107 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of 14.8%, which is based on pre-tax income of $400 million, including $65 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, would be 2.9 percentage points higher if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the $65 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest.

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of 20.4%, which is based on pre-tax income of $1.64 billion, including $252 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests, would be 3.7 percentage points higher if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the $252 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of 18.4%, which is based on pre-tax income of $1.33 billion, including $195 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, would be 3.1 percentage points higher if based on pre-tax income exclusive of the $195 million of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest.

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

Canada Revenue Agency Competent Authority Matter

In the second half of 2022, as a result of the conclusion of arbitration proceedings and the settlement provisions between the United States and Canadian competent authorities related to tax years 2006-2011, we paid additional income taxes and related interest of $124 million and $100 million, respectively, to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration (Alberta TRA). In the third quarter of 2024, we were informed that the CRA granted us discretionary interest relief for certain tax years from 2006 through 2011. Based on current estimates and foreign currency exchange rates as of September 30, 2024, the interest relief from the CRA and Alberta TRA was estimated to be approximately $40 million, consisting of interest refunds of $37 million and related interest of $3 million. As a result, in the third quarter of 2024, we recognized a $37 million reduction in interest expense and $3 million of interest income in our consolidated statement of operations.

10. Financing Agreements

Revolving Credit Agreement

On September 4, 2025, CF Holdings and CF Industries entered into the First Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement), which amended and restated our senior unsecured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature October 26, 2028 (the Prior Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit facility commitments of up to $750 million with a maturity of September 4, 2030 and has a letter of credit sub-limit of $125 million and a swingline loan sub-limit of $75 million. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases and other general corporate purposes. CF Industries is the lead borrower, and CF Holdings is the sole guarantor, under the Revolving Credit Agreement. CF Industries may designate as borrowers one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries that are organized in the United States or any state thereof, the District of Columbia, England and Wales or any other jurisdiction as mutually agreed to by all of the lenders party to the Revolving Credit Agreement, the administrative agent and CF Industries.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros and British pounds. Borrowings in U.S. dollars bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at our option, an applicable adjusted term secured overnight financing rate (or a similar benchmark rate for non-U.S. dollar borrowings) plus a specified margin, or base rate plus a specified margin. We are required to pay an undrawn commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement and customary letter of credit fees. The specified margins and the amount of the commitment fee will depend on CF Holdings’ credit rating at the time.

As of September 30, 2025, we had unused borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Agreement of $750 million and no outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement. In addition, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2024, or during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Letters of Credit Under Bilateral Agreement

We are party to a bilateral agreement providing for the issuance of up to $425 million of letters of credit. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $334 million of letters of credit were outstanding under this agreement.

12. Variable Interest Entity

On April 8, 2025, we announced that we formed a joint venture, Blue Point Number One, LLC, with JERA Co., Inc. (JERA), Japan’s largest energy company, and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (Mitsui), a leading global investment and trading company, for the construction, production and offtake of low-carbon ammonia (the Blue Point joint venture). We hold 40% ownership, JERA holds 35% ownership, and Mitsui holds 25% ownership in the Blue Point joint venture. Under the terms of the Blue Point joint venture’s limited liability company agreement, JERA has a conditional option to reduce its ownership percentage that expires on December 31, 2025. If the specified condition is met, JERA can reduce its ownership below 35% but not lower than 20%. We would have the right and obligation to increase our ownership by the same amount that JERA reduces its ownership.

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

At our Blue Point complex in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, the Blue Point joint venture is expected to construct an autothermal reforming (ATR) ammonia production facility with a carbon dioxide (CO2) dehydration and compression unit to prepare captured CO2 for transportation and sequestration. Engineering, equipment procurement and pre-construction activities at our Blue Point complex began in the second quarter of 2025. Construction of the ammonia production facility is expected to begin in 2026, with low-carbon ammonia production expected to begin in 2029. We are responsible for the development, construction, operation and maintenance of the ammonia production facility under contracts with the Blue Point joint venture. We, JERA and Mitsui are required to purchase low-carbon ammonia produced by the Blue Point joint venture in accordance with our respective ownership percentages once production commences.

Pursuant to periodic capital calls, the Blue Point joint venture members will fund the cost of the facility’s engineering, procurement and construction according to their respective ownership percentages. During the third quarter of 2025, we, JERA and Mitsui made capital contributions of $38 million, $33 million and $23 million, respectively, to the Blue Point joint venture. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we, JERA and Mitsui made capital contributions of $195 million, $170 million and $121 million, respectively, to the Blue Point joint venture. We funded $152 million of our contributions with cash and $43 million through a non-cash contribution of a license to use certain intellectual property.

In addition, we will build scalable infrastructure at our Blue Point complex to supply the ammonia production facility with services, including product storage and vessel loading.

We determined that the Blue Point joint venture is a variable interest entity (VIE) of which we are the primary beneficiary. We have a significant variable interest in the Blue Point joint venture through our 40% equity interest. We are considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE as we have both the power to direct the day-to-day operations of the low-carbon ammonia production facility, which are the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, due to our 40% equity interest. As a result, we consolidate this VIE in our consolidated financial statements, with the combined 60% equity interest owned by JERA and Mitsui recorded as noncontrolling interest.

The table below summarizes the assets and liabilities of the Blue Point joint venture included in our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025:


		September 30, 2025

As of September 30, 2025, all assets of the Blue Point joint venture can only be used to settle the obligations of the Blue Point joint venture. In addition, as of September 30, 2025, all liabilities of the Blue Point joint venture are payable to creditors who do not have recourse to the general credit of CF Holdings.

CF Holdings has provided guarantees for certain financial commitments of the Blue Point joint venture to several third-party vendors; however, as of September 30, 2025, no liabilities had been incurred by the Blue Point joint venture to these third-party vendors.

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

13. Noncontrolling Interests

We have a strategic venture with CHS Inc. (CHS) under which CHS owns an equity interest in CF Industries Nitrogen, LLC (CFN), a subsidiary of CF Holdings. CHS’ equity interest represents approximately 11% of the membership interests of CFN. We own the remaining membership interests. Under the terms of CFN’s limited liability company agreement, each member’s interest will reflect, over time, the impact of the profitability of CFN, any member contributions made to CFN and withdrawals and distributions received from CFN. We also have a 40% ownership interest in the Blue Point joint venture. JERA and Mitsui own the remaining membership interests. See Note 12—Variable Interest Entity for additional information on the Blue Point joint venture.

For financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities and earnings of CFN and the Blue Point joint venture are consolidated into our financial statements. CHS’ interest in CFN and each of JERA’s and Mitsui’s interests in the Blue Point joint venture are recorded in noncontrolling interests in our consolidated financial statements.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of noncontrolling interests and distributions payable to the noncontrolling interests in our consolidated balance sheets is provided below.

CHS also receives deliveries pursuant to a supply agreement under which CHS has the right to purchase annually from CFN up to approximately 1.1 million tons of granular urea and 580,000 tons of UAN at market prices. As a result of its equity interest in CFN, CHS is entitled to semi-annual cash distributions from CFN. We are also entitled to semi-annual cash distributions from CFN. The amounts of distributions from CFN to us and CHS are based generally on the profitability of CFN and determined based on the volume of granular urea and UAN sold by CFN to us and CHS pursuant to supply agreements, less a formula driven amount based primarily on the cost of natural gas used to produce the granular urea and UAN, and adjusted for the allocation of items such as operational efficiencies and overhead amounts.

14. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

Our Board of Directors (the Board) has authorized certain programs to repurchase shares of our common stock. These programs have generally permitted repurchases to be made from time to time in the open market, through privately-negotiated transactions, through block transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs or otherwise. The manner, timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by our management based on the evaluation of market conditions, stock price and other factors.

On November 2, 2022, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $3 billion of CF Holdings common stock, which is effective through December 31, 2025 (the 2022 Share Repurchase Program). On May 6, 2025, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $2 billion of CF Holdings common stock commencing upon the completion of the 2022 Share Repurchase Program and effective through December 31, 2029 (the 2025 Share Repurchase Program). In October 2025, we completed the 2022 Share Repurchase Program and commenced repurchases under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program.

CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.

15. Segment Disclosures

Our reportable segments consist of Ammonia, Granular Urea, UAN, AN and Other. These segments are differentiated by products. Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our President and Chief Executive Officer, who uses gross margin to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. The CODM meets periodically with other members of senior management to analyze segment performance, including comparing actual results to projected results, with consideration to the costs incurred to produce and deliver the product. In addition, our CODM uses gross margin by reportable segment to make key operating decisions, such as the determination of capital expenditures and the allocation of operating budgets, to help guide strategic decisions to align with company-wide goals. Total other operating costs and expenses (consisting primarily of selling, general and administrative expenses and other operating—net) and non-operating expenses (consisting primarily of interest and income taxes) are centrally managed and are not included in the measurement of segment profitability reviewed by the CODM. The ammonia and other products that are upgraded into Granular Urea, UAN, AN and Other products are transferred at cost into the results of those products.

Segment data for gross margin, including sales and cost of sales, which also includes significant expenses, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are presented in the tables below.

(1)Natural gas costs include the impact of realized gains and losses on natural gas derivatives settled during the period.

(2)For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, depreciation and amortization does not include $9 million and $8 million, respectively, of depreciation and amortization allocated to Corporate, which includes amortization of definite-lived intangible assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, depreciation and amortization does not include $25 million and $27 million, respectively, of depreciation and amortization allocated to Corporate, which includes amortization of definite-lived intangible assets. For both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, depreciation and amortization does not include $8 million of amortization related to the Supply Contract liability, which is recognized in net sales. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, depreciation and amortization does not include $23 million of amortization related to the Supply Contract liability, which is recognized in net sales. See Note 3—Revenue Recognition for additional information on the Supply Contract liability.

(3)Distribution and storage costs consist of the cost of freight required to transport finished products from our manufacturing facilities to our distribution facilities and the costs to operate our network of distribution facilities in North America.

(4)Freight costs consist of the costs incurred by us to deliver products from one of our plants or distribution facilities to the customer. Freight costs are generally charged to the customer and included in net sales. In situations when control of the product transfers upon loading and the customer requests that we arrange delivery of the product, the amount of freight included in net sales is considered freight revenue.

(5)Other segment items is primarily comprised of payroll, services, materials and supplies, and utilities at our manufacturing facilities.

(6)Other consists of all other products not included in our Ammonia, Granular Urea, UAN or AN segments. All other products primarily include DEF, urea liquor, nitric acid and aqua ammonia.

Our assets, with the exception of goodwill, are not monitored by or reported to our CODM by segment; therefore, we do not present total assets by segment. The following table shows the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
