Note regarding non-GAAP financial measures The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA which are non-GAAP financial measures, provide additional meaningful information regarding the company's performance and financial strength. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA included in this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables accompanying this presentation. EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders plus interest expense - net, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Other adjustments include the elimination of loan fee amortization that is included in both interest and amortization, and the portion of depreciation that is included in noncontrolling interests. The company has presented EBITDA because management uses the measure to track performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted with the selected items included in EBITDA as summarized in the tables accompanying this presentation. The company has presented adjusted EBITDA because management uses adjusted EBITDA, and believes it is useful to investors, as a supplemental financial measure in the comparison of year-over-year performance. 3

Market overview • Global urea prices expected to remain above 2017 levels even after the traditional seasonal reset at the end of the second quarter The price of natural gas per MMBtu at TTF in Europe was 32% higher in March 2018 compared to March 2017 and the price per metric ton of anthracite coal in China was 52% higher in February 2018 compared to February 2017 The average cost of shipping urea from the Arab Gulf to the Gulf of Mexico in the first quarter of 2018 is nearly 25% higher than the first quarter of 2017 Higher energy and freight costs, along with enforcement of environmental regulations, have resulted in dramatically lower Chinese urea production and exports Through March 2018, Chinese urea exports were 77% lower than 2017; CF expects lower Chinese urea exports to continue in the near term Demand in India and Brazil should also provide support for prices over the next few months; India recently secured ~1 million tons of urea which will absorb significant volumes from Black Sea, Iranian, and Middle Eastern producers Nitrogen imports to Brazil expected to increase slightly y/y due to the permanent closure of two Petrobras urea plants in 2018, partially offset by lower projected corn planting CF expects North American demand for nitrogen fertilizer for the first half of 2018 to be similar to the first half of 2017 Planting was behind average pace as of April 29 and ammonia shipments were behind schedule due to cold, wet weather which slowed pre-plant applications Growers unable to apply pre-plant ammonia have the option to follow with post-planting and side-dress ammonia application or use urea or UAN Urea barge prices at NOLA traded at an average of $13 per ton below Middle East-delivered parity during Q1, discouraging excess imports to the region From July through February, imports of urea and UAN to North America declined 38% and 35%, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago Nitrogen imports to North America should continue to trend lower as tradeflows adjust to • • • • • • remaining North American capacity additions; the region remains import-dependent 9 North American Outlook • • • • • • Global Supply and Demand Global Pricing Dynamics

CF is well positioned for expected pricing recovery Table illustrates the resiliency of CF Industries’ business model across a broad range of industry conditions EBITDA Sensitivity to Natural Gas and Urea Prices(1)(2) $ billions CF Realized North American Natural Gas Cost ($/MMBtu)(3) Source: CF Industries (1) The table was created by using 2017 adjusted EBITDA of $969 million, 2017 sales volumes of approximately 20 million product tons and gas consumption of approximately 360 million MMBtus. Sales volume and gas consumption were adjusted for CF’s anticipated 2018 turnaround schedule and 100% ownership of TNCLP. Changes in product prices and gas costs were not applied to the CHS supply agreement and the contractual Orica and Mosaic volumes as CF Industries’ is naturally hedged against changes in product prices and gas costs under each agreement. While the table above presents CF’s realized North American natural gas cost, CF Fertilisers UK’s gas cost and volumes were included in the analysis. As with North America, CF Fertilisers UK’s gas cost was sensitized in $0.25/MMBtu increments. See appendix for 2017 EBITDA reconciliation.
