Overview of Consolidated Results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Mosaic incurred a net loss of $(257.6) million, or $(0.81) per diluted share, compared to net income of $238.1 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Gross margin for the current year period was unfavorably impacted by higher raw material and input costs, driven largely by increased sulfur prices as compared to the prior year period, as discussed further below. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was also negatively impacted by the strategic decision to idle and divest the Araxá mining and chemical complex and idle the related mining activities at the Patrocínio complex in Brazil, which resulted in additional expenses of approximately $442 million. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was favorably impacted by a foreign currency transaction gain of $37.6 million and an unrealized mark-to-market gain of approximately $112.0 million on the investment in Ma’aden shares, included in other income (expense).
Significant factors affecting our results of operations and financial condition are listed below. Certain of these factors are discussed in more detail in the following sections of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
In the first quarter of 2026, geopolitical events drove volatility throughout global commodities markets. The escalation of conflict in the Middle East and renewed attacks on the Russian/Ukrainian industry have restricted exports of fertilizers and raw materials (namely sulfur and am

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to the impact of fluctuations in the relative value of currencies, the impact of interest rates, fluctuations in the purchase price of natural gas, ammonia and sulfur consumed in operations and changes in freight costs, as well as changes in the market value of our financial instruments. We periodically enter into derivatives in order to mitigate our foreign currency risks, interest rate risks and the effects of changing commodity prices, but not for speculative purposes. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 10-K Report and Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
Due to the global nature of our operations, we are exposed to currency exchange rate changes which may cause fluctuations in our earnings and cash flows. Our primary foreign currency exposures are the Canadian dollar and Brazilian real. To reduce economic risk and volatility on expected cash flows that are denominated in the Canadian dollar and Brazilian real, we use financial instruments that may include forward contracts, zero-cost collars and/or futures. Mosaic hedges cash flows on a declining basis, up to 18 months for the Canadian dollar and up to 12 months for the Brazilian real.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of our major foreign currency exchange contracts was $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The table below provides information about Mosaic’s significant foreign exchange derivatives.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded, based on such evaluations, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose for which they were designed as of the end of such period.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, have evaluated any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, did not identify any such change during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We have included information about legal and environmental proceedings in Note 16 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. This information is incorporated herein by reference.
We are also subject to the following legal and environmental proceedings in addition to those described in Note 16 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report:
Countervailing Duty Orders. In April 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce (“DOC”) issued countervailing duty (“CVD”) orders on imports of phosphate fertilizers from Morocco and Russia, in response to petitions filed by Mosaic. The purpose of the CVD orders is to remedy the injury to the U.S. phosphate fertilizer industry caused by imports that benefit from unfair foreign subsidies, and thereby restore fair competition. CVD orders normally stay in place for at least five years, with possible extensions.
Moroccan and Russian producers have initiated actions at the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”) seeking to overturn the orders. Mosaic has also made claims contesting certain aspects of DOC’s final determinations that, we believe, failed to capture the full extent of Moroccan and Russian subsidies. These litigation challenges remain underway. CIT is reviewing the DOC’s second remand redetermination for the CVD investigation for Morocco. The DOC is conducting a second remand redetermination for the first administrative review for Russia, which will be reviewed by the CIT. The ITC recently reaffirmed its original affirmative injury finding in a second remand redetermination, which is also being reviewed by the CIT and briefing is underway. The CAFC is reviewing Mosaic’s challenge to the DOC’s determination in the first administrative review for Morocco.
When a CVD order is in place, DOC normally conducts annual administrative reviews, which establish a final CVD assessment rate for past imports during a defined period, and a CVD cash deposit rate for future imports. In November 2023, DOC announced the final results of the first administrative reviews for the CVD orders on phosphate fertilizers for Russia and Morocco covering the period November 30, 2020 to December 31, 2021. DOC calculated new subsidy rates of 2.12% for Moroccan producer OCP (lowered to 2.11% on remand) and 28.50% for Russian producer PhosAgro. In addition, in November and December 2024 DOC announced the final results of the second administrative reviews for the CVD orders on phosphate fertilizers for Russia and Morocco covering calendar year 2022. DOC calculated subsidy rates of 16.60% for OCP and 18.21% for PhosAgro. Mosaic, as well as parties that oppose the duties, have appealed the final results of DOC’s first and second administrative reviews to the CIT. In April 2026, DOC announced the final results of the third administrative review for the CVD order on phosphate fertilizers from Russia, covering calendar year 2023. DOC calculated a subsidy rate of 12.71% for Joint Stock Company Apatit, the only Russian producer subject to review. The applicable final CVD assessment rates and cash deposit rates for imports of phosphate fertilizer from Morocco and Russia could change as a result of these various proceedings and potential associated appeals, whether in federal courts or at the World Trade Organization.
The South Pasture Mine – Hardee County Enforcement Action. On January 8, 2020, Hardee County issued a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) for Mosaic’s delay in meeting the required reclamation schedule for two designated reclamation units within the South Pasture mine. The delay resulted from idling the South Pasture beneficiation plant in 2018; because the plant was idled, no sand was available for reclamation activities.
Acting on Mosaic’s “Application for Waiver and Reclamation Schedule Extension,” in May 2020, the Hardee County Board of County Commissioners approved: (1) a waiver of the applicable reclamation deadlines of the South Pasture Development Order and Land Development Code; (2) an alternative reclamation schedule; and (3) a settlement agreement that resolved the NOV. Mosaic timely paid the civil penalty required by the settlement agreement and continues to implement the approved alternative reclamation schedule, as required. Monitoring programs are in place to ensure continued compliance with the waiver and settlement agreement.
Cruz Litigation. On August 27, 2020, a putative class action complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County, Florida against our wholly-owned subsidiary, Mosaic Global Operations Inc., and two unrelated co-defendants. The complaint alleges claims related to elevated levels of radiation at two manufactured housing communities located on reclaimed mining land in Mulberry, Polk County, Florida, allegedly due to phosphate mining and reclamation activities occurring decades ago. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages, including punitive damages, injunctive relief

requiring remediation of their properties, and a medical monitoring program funded by the defendants. On October 14, 2021, the court substantially granted a motion to dismiss that we filed late in 2020, with leave for the plaintiffs to amend their complaint.
On November 3, 2021, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and, in response, Mosaic filed a motion to dismiss that complaint with prejudice on November 15, 2021. On December 23, 2021, plaintiffs opposed that motion and Mosaic replied to that opposition on January 26, 2022. On April 6, 2022, the court heard argument on the motions to dismiss filed by Mosaic and each other co-defendant. In late March 2023, the court denied defendants’ motions to dismiss.
On December 22, 2025, the court heard argument on co-defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment based on their claim that the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the plaintiffs’ demands for injunctive relief. Under the state’s Local Action Rule, where the relief being sought would directly affect real property in Polk County, the court must have territorial jurisdiction over the property in order to have the requisite subject matter jurisdiction. Because the plaintiffs seek to excavate real property in Polk County, the court concluded on February 20, 2026 it did not have jurisdiction. It granted the summary judgment motion based on the local action rule, and not on the merits of plaintiffs’ claims. The court’s decision was not appealed. Plaintiffs subsequently filed the dismissed claims in Polk County against co-defendants, but not Mosaic.
We continue to vigorously defend this matter.
Faustina Plant Risk Management Plan. On September 14, 2022, EPA Region 6 issued a Notice of Potential Violation and Opportunity to Confer (“NOPVOC”) regarding compliance of our Faustina Plant with Section 112(r) of the Federal Clean Air Act and 40 C.F.R. Part 68, commonly known as the Risk Management Plan Rule (“RMP Rule”). The NOPVOC relates to a compliance evaluation inspection conducted by the EPA at the Faustina Plant from February 22-25, 2022, and alleges violations of the RMP Rule. We conferred with the EPA regarding the allegations in the NOPVOC on November 30, 2022. We negotiated a Consent Agreement and Final Order (“CAFO”) with the agency that was filed on January 30, 2024. As required by the CAFO, we paid a penalty in the amount of $217,085. The CAFO also requires the completion of two supplemental environmental projects: (1) installation of ammonia monitors and monitoring at the plant for a period of two years, and (2) donation of two generators to the St. James Parish Department of Emergency Preparedness.

In January 2026, OEFA, Peru’s national environmental authority, issued a Penalty Proposal Report and a Final Instruction Report in connection with an administrative sanctioning proceeding arising from a 2023 administrative review at Compañía Minera Miski Mayo’s Fosfatos Bayóvar location. OEFA is responsible for environmental oversight, supervision and the sanctioning of regulated activities in Peru. The proceeding consolidates four alleged instances of non‑compliance with applicable environmental laws, involving (i) drainage channels in the mine area; (ii) drainage channels at the coarse tailings pile; (iii) progressive closure obligations at the North waste rock dump; and (iv) an alleged exceedance of applicable wastewater limits.
The Final Instruction Report closed the investigation phase of the administrative sanctioning proceeding and initiated the defense phase. On February 5, 2026, Miski Mayo submitted its defense to OEFA’s Decision Authority,which by the end of February issued a first instance decision confirming the full amount of the penalty initially imposed. Miski Mayo would be permitted to seek judicial review of OEFA's final decision, if desired, before the Peruvian courts.
Miski Mayo intends to vigorously defend this matter and seek judicial review before the Peruvian courts, if needed.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Important risk factors that apply to us are outlined in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “10-K Report”). In addition to these risk factors, we include the following updates:
Key inputs for the production of our finished goods, including fertilizer, sulfur and ammonia, and energy used in our businesses in the past have been and may in the future be the subject of volatile pricing and availability. Changes in the price or availability of these key inputs for production of finished goods have had, and could again have, a material adverse impact on our businesses.
Fertilizer is a key input for production of our blended finished goods products. Natural gas, ammonia and sulfur are key raw materials used in the manufacture of phosphate crop nutrient products. Natural gas is used as both a chemical feedstock and a fuel to produce anhydrous ammonia, which is a raw material used in the production of concentrated phosphate products. Natural gas is also a significant energy source used in the potash solution mining process. From time to time, our profitability has been and may in the future be adversely impacted by the price and availability of these key inputs and other energy costs. For example, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions have led, and may continue to lead, to disruption and instability in global markets, supply chains and volatile pricing and availability of these key inputs and raw materials. Because most of our products are commodities, there can be no assurance that we will be able to pass through increased costs to our customers. A significant increase in the price of fertilizer, natural gas, ammonia, sulfur or energy that is not recovered through an increase in the price of our related crop nutrients products could have a material adverse impact on our business.
In addition, geopolitical instability and heightened tensions involving Iran, have disrupted global shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, a critical transit corridor for energy and certain industrial commodities, including sulfur and ammonia. Disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could continue to adversely affect the availability, cost, or timing of sulfur and ammonia inputs and have contributed to increased fuel and transportation costs. Such disruptions could further exacerbate volatility in input pricing and availability and, if sustained, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Pursuant to our employee stock plans relating to the grant of employee stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock unit awards and other equity-based awards, we have granted and may in the future grant employee stock options to purchase shares of our Common Stock for which the purchase price may be paid by means of delivery to us by the optionee of shares of our Common Stock that are already owned by the optionee (at a value equal to market value on the date of the option exercise). During the periods covered by this report, no options to purchase shares of our Common Stock were exercised for which the purchase price was so paid.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we did not purchase any shares of our common stock under our Board approved stock repurchase programs.
