THE MOSAIC COMPANY REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2023 RESULTS

Full year net income of $1.2 billion, adjusted EBITDA(1) of $2.8 billion
2023 cash from operations of $2.4 billion, free cash flow(1) of $795 million
Returned $1.1 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends in 2023 and completed refinancing of $900 million in debt
Responding to current potash market conditions by curtailing production from the Colonsay mine
TAMPA, FL, February 21, 2024 - The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) today reported net income of $1.2 billion and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $3.50 for full year 2023. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the year was $2.8 billion and adjusted diluted EPS(1) was $3.57.
The company reported fourth quarter net income of $365 million and diluted EPS of $1.11. Adjusted EBITDA(1) totaled $646 million for the quarter and adjusted diluted EPS(1) was $0.71.
"Mosaic successfully navigated a highly dynamic market in 2023. We delivered strong free cash flow and returned significant capital to shareholders while reinvesting in the business" said Bruce Bodine, President and CEO. "Looking into 2024, Mosaic expects to continue to benefit from a strong phosphates market, and is well positioned to deliver solid results as we optimize our low cost potash operations. In addition, we are focused on improving our phosphates production level, expanding our portfolio of value-added products, growing our leading presence in Brazil, and enhancing the overall efficiency of our operations".
Highlights:
Full year revenues declined 28 percent year-over-year to $13.7 billion, reflecting the impact of lower selling prices. The gross margin rate in 2023 was 16 percent, down from 30 percent in 2022.
Net Income in 2023 totaled $1.2 billion, declining 67 percent from 2022. Adjusted EBITDA(1) in 2023 totaled $2.8 billion, a decline of 56 percent from 2022. Cash flows from operating activities totaled $2.4 billion and Free Cash Flow(1) totaled $795 million.
Potash operating earnings were $1.2 billion in 2023, down from $2.8 billion in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA(1) totaled $1.5 billion in 2023, down from $3.1 billion last year. We completed the development of Esterhazy K3, which is the largest and one of the most efficient and low-cost potash complexes in the world. Canpotex's port at Portland, Oregon returned to normal operation in December after being idled since April 2023. In response to current market conditions, Mosaic will be curtailing its production from its Colonsay mine.

Phosphate operating earnings were $375 million in 2023, compared to $1.3 billion in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA(1) totaled $1.2 billion in 2023, down from $2.2 billion in the prior year. Segment results reflect the impact of lower prices and production challenges due to weather-related events and repairs of our sulfuric acid facilities in Louisiana, partially offset by lower raw material prices. Phosphate prices stabilized in the second quarter of 2023 and rose in the second half of the year.
Mosaic Fertilizantes operating earnings were $75 million in 2023, down from $910 million in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA(1) totaled $327 million in 2023, down from $1.0 billion last year. In the second quarter of 2023, we finished the destocking of high-priced inventory which negatively impacted our first half 2023 results. Distribution business margin per tonne came in above the $30-$40 annual normalized range in the fourth quarter.
Capital Allocation Strategy
Mosaic remains committed to a disciplined capital allocation strategy.
Mosaic returned $1.1 billion of capital to shareholders in 2023, including share repurchases totaling $756 million, and increased the dividend by 10 percent in December 2023. Capital returns exceeded free cash flow due to cash received from other sources, including the sale of Streamsong Resort.
Mosaic is committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet that is sustainable through our industry's normal business cycle. Mosaic refinanced $900 million of debt obligations with a $500 million term loan, and a $400 million bond issuance which closed in December.
Mosaic remains committed to returning excess cash to shareholders in 2024 through a combination of dividends and share repurchases.
Total capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1.2 billion for 2024, about $200 million below the 2023 level. Mosaic continues to focus on high-returning investments with modest capital requirements.

(3)Average DAP Selling Price (fob plant)

Net sales in the Phosphate segment decreased to $4.7 billion in 2023, down from $6.2 billion in 2022, driven by lower selling prices in 2023. Sales volumes increased from 6.6 million tonnes in 2022 to 7.0 million tonnes, while production volume of finished phosphates totaled 6.6 million, down from 6.7 million.
The average realized selling price decreased to $646 per tonne in 2023, from $913 in 2022. Gross margin per tonne was $100 in 2023, compared to $268 in 2022, and adjusted gross margin per tonne(1) decreased to $109 in 2023 from $274 in the prior year, reflecting lower phosphate prices which were partially offset by the decrease in raw material costs.
Sales volumes in the first quarter are expected to be 1.6-1.8 million tonnes with DAP prices on an FOB basis averaging $580-$605 per tonne. Stripping margins are expected to stay elevated.

$111$29$327$1,049
*Tonnes = finished product tonnes
Mosaic Fertilizantes reported net sales of $5.7 billion in 2023, down from $8.3 billion in the prior year, reflecting lower prices. The gross margin per tonne, which averaged $22 in 2023, down from $111 in 2022, was negatively impacted by lower prices, inflationary cost pressures and high-priced inventory. The destocking of high-priced inventory was complete in the second quarter of 2023 and margin per tonne of the distribution business in the fourth quarter was above the historical normalized annual range of $30-$40 per tonne.
The distribution business typically sells more nitrogen products in the first quarter of each year, which historically generate lower and less consistent margins. As such, we expect first quarter margin per tonne will be below the historical normalized annual range. We expect distribution margin per tonne in a twelve-month period ended March 31, 2024 to be within the normalized annual range.
Other
Full-year selling, general and administrative expenses were $501 million in 2023 compared with $498 million in 2022.
Mosaic recognized strong earnings from equity investments of $60 million, reflecting contribution from the company’s share of the MWSPC joint venture in Saudi Arabia.

The reported effective tax rate for 2023 was 13.3 percent, and 26.9 percent excluding discrete items. Cash taxes paid in 2023 were $386 million.

In 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $2.4 billion and capital expenditures were $1.4 billion.
2024 Market Outlook
Global grain and oilseed markets are expected to remain tight in 2024. Crop production, threatened by geopolitical unrest, weather extremes and reduced fertilization, is struggling to keep up with strong demand driven by secular demographic changes and growing consumption from renewable fuels. As a result, global stocks-to-use ratios for grains and oilseeds are expected to remain under pressure for the foreseeable future. Today's healthy agriculture back drop and favorable economics will continue to incentivize growers to maximize yields and apply fertilizers.

These demand factors are especially promising for the phosphate market as they are expected to be matched by tight global supply well into 2024. China's exports are expected to remain capped as domestic agriculture and industrial demand is prioritized over fertilizer exports. Firm phosphate prices and low raw material prices suggest that stripping margins will stay elevated for the foreseeable future.

In North America, after a long Fall application season and solid winter fill activities, demand strength continues into the Spring planting season. Brazil shipments are expected to remain solid in 2024 as barter ratio are favorable and growers need to replenish soil nutrients. In India, grower demand is strong and growers are waiting for higher government subsidy rates.

Potash demand for North America is expected to remain robust in 2024, and demand in Southeast Asia and Brazil is expected to improve as the year progresses. Supply appears adequate to meet that demand in the near term.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the presentation and discussion of non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share guidance, or adjusted EPS, non-GAAP gross margin per tonne, or adjusted gross margin per tonne, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow, collectively referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a supplemental numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because non-GAAP measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP, they are thus susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted metrics, including adjusted EPS, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA are calculated by excluding the impact of notable items from the GAAP measure. Notable items impact on gross margin and EBITDA is pretax. Notable items impact on diluted net earnings per share is calculated as the notable item amount plus income tax effect, based on expected annual effective tax rate, divided by diluted weighted average shares. Management believes that these adjusted measures provide securities analysts, investors, management and others with useful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our core operating results. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and adjusted for changes in working capital financing. Management utilizes these adjusted measures in analyzing



and assessing Mosaic’s overall performance and financial trends, for financial and operating decision-making, and to forecast and plan for future periods. These adjusted measures also assist our management in comparing our and our competitors' operating results. We are not providing forward looking guidance for U.S. GAAP reported diluted net earnings per share, gross margin per tonne, or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EPS, adjusted gross margin and adjusted EBITDA because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty our notable items without unreasonable effort. Historically, our notable items have included, but are not limited to, foreign currency transaction gain or loss, unrealized gain or loss on derivatives, acquisition-related fees, discrete tax items, contingencies and certain other gains or losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period. Reconciliations for Non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release are found below. Reconciliations for current and historical periods beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2022 for consolidated adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA, as well as segment adjusted EBITDA and adjusted gross margin per tonne are provided in the Selected Calendar Quarter Financial Information performance data for the related periods. This information is being furnished under Exhibit 99.2 of the Form 8-K and available on our website at www.mosaicco.com in the “Financial Information - Quarterly Earnings” section under the “Investors” tab.
