See reconciliation on page 20.


 
4 Stable Long-Term Trends in Fertilizer Demand Global and Domestic Demand for Nitrogen Remains Steady Source: Fertecon, World Bank Global Nitrogen Consumption Global Arable Land per Capita Global nitrogen consumption increased by 15% between 2009 and 2020 driven by: ➢ Population growth ➢ Decrease in arable farmland per capita ➢ Biofuel consumption ➢ Continued evolution to more protein-based diets in developing countries H e c ta re s p e r P e rs o n 0.00 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 1 9 9 2 1 9 9 3 1 9 9 4 1 9 9 5 1 9 9 6 1 9 9 7 1 9 9 8 1 9 9 9 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 2 0 0 2 2 0 0 3 2 0 0 4 2 0 0 5 2 0 0 6 2 0 0 7 2 0 0 8 2 0 0 9 2 0 1 0 2 0 1 1 2 0 1 2 2 0 1 3 2 0 1 4 2 0 1 5 2 0 1 6 2 0 1 7 2 0 1 8 TBU Graph backup to match formatting TBU Graph backup to match formatting 10.0 10.5 11.0 11.5 12.0 12.5 13.0 13.5 14.0 M il li o n T o n n e s 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 M il li o n T o n n e s US Nitrogen Consumption


 
5 U.S. Nitrogen Fertilizer Supply & Demand Domestic Supply and Demand Picture is Currently More Balanced ➢ Fertilizers represent approximately 15% of farmers’ cost structure and significantly improves yields ➢ USDA projecting stocks to use ratio for 2020/2021 at approximately 9%, its lowest level since 2014 Source: USDA, Fertecon ➢ Major global nitrogen capacity build cycle largely complete in 2017/2018, and additional tons have been absorbed by the market ➢ Strong demand for spring ammonia application and loss of U.S nitrogen production in February due to Winter Storm Uri helped further tighten the market Lower ending corn stocks and the recent increase in corn prices have resulted in higher demand and increased product pricing for nitrogen fertilizer TBU Graph backup to match formatting (3,000) 1,000 5,000 9,000 13,000 17,000 '15 '16 '17 '18 '19 '20 '21e '22e '23e '24e '25e '26e '27e '28e '29e '30e (0 0 0 's o f n it ro g e n m e tr ic t o n s ) Production Imports Exports US Nitrogen Supply 8% 7% 9% 13% 13% 16% 14% 16% 14% 9% 0% 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 11/12 12/13 13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 18/19 19/20 20/21 Corn Stocks to Use Stocks to Use


 
6 Strong Demand for Corn in the U.S. Increasing Corn Consumption is Positive for Nitrogen Fertilizer Demand ➢ Corn has a variety of uses and applications, including feed grains, ethanol for fuel and food, seed and industrial (FSI) ➢ Feed grains ▪ ~96% of domestic feed grains are supplied by corn ▪ Consumes ~38% of annual corn crop(1) ➢ Ethanol ▪ Consumes ~37% of annual corn crop(1) ▪ Corn demand for 2021 may be impacted by the loss of gasoline and ethanol demand as a result of COVID-19 ▪ Increased export volumes are more than offsetting temporary demand loss from ethanol ➢ Corn production typically driven more by yield than acres planted ➢ Nitrogen fertilizer is generally low on the cost curve for farmers Source: USDA Economic Research Service and USDA WASDE.

➢ USDA estimates of 91 million corn acres planted and yields of 172 bushels per acre imply a carryout of 9.2%, the lowest since 2014 ➢ Corn prices continued to increase, reaching over $7/bu driven by strong Chinese and domestic ethanol demand and poor South American crop conditions ➢ High grain prices incentivize higher fertilizer application to improve yields ➢ Urea prices rallied across the globe and UAN prices followed suit, going from selling at a discount to urea on a nitrogen-equivalent basis for most of 2020 to selling at a premium ▪ June NOLA prices for urea at $390-$400/ton and UAN at $290-$300/ton Summer 7 ➢ NOLA UAN Fill price of $120/ton in July ➢ Corn prices ranged from $3.00-$3.50/bu, with concerns due to lower gasoline and ethanol demand amid the COVID-19 pandemic ➢ Drought conditions in parts of the Midwest led to lower-than-expected yields and Derecho storm in Iowa damaged over 10 million acres of corn ➢ Favorable weather conditions led to harvest being largely complete in October and setting up for fall ammonia run ➢ Corn prices rallied from the low $3/bu range to nearly $4/bu, driving fertilizer demand higher for the fall ➢ Planted acres and crop yields came in lower-than-expected while Chinese purchases of corn increased, leading to a 50% reduction in the USDA’s carryout inventory estimates ➢ Fall demand for ammonia was the highest it has been in several years ▪ Ammonia inventories were very low after the fall and prices remained firm ➢ Crop prices continued to increase, with corn reaching $5.50/bu in February ➢ Winter Storm Uri caused many nitrogen fertilizer production facilities to shut in, which further tightened inventories in advance of spring 2 0 2 1 Fall Winter Spring 2 0 2 0 Recent Domestic Nitrogen Fertilizer Market Conditions Summer 2020 – Present


 
8 Strategically Located Assets Well-Positioned in Premium Pricing Regions ➢ Large geographic footprint serving the Southern Plains and Corn Belt region ➢ Well positioned to minimize distribution costs and maximize net back pricing ➢ Rail loading rack at Coffeyville provides significant logistics optionality west of the Mississippi River due to access to both UP and BNSF delivery points ➢ Production sustainability due to storage capabilities at the plants and offsite locations ➢ Marketing agreement with LSB Industries for Pryor, OK, facility’s UAN production (1) Presented on a two-year rolling average to account for the impact of planned and unplanned outages to properly measure long-term utilization performance.
