16 Stable Trends in Fertilizer Supply & Demand Source: USDA, Fertecon US Nitrogen SupplyCorn Stocks to Use ▪ Fertilizers typically represent approximately 15% of farmers’ cost structure and significantly improve yields. ▪ USDA projecting stocks to use ratio for 2024/2025 at approximately 11%. Nitrogen fertilizer pricing has stabilized recently, and U.S. producers remain at the low end of global cost curve due to low natural gas prices. ▪ Major global nitrogen capacity build cycle largely complete in 2017/2018, and additional tons have been absorbed by the market. ▪ Reduced global supply of nitrogen fertilizers due to production curtailments in Europe and restrictions on exports from China. ▪ U.S. has become an exporter of nitrogen fertilizer to Europe.

Strong Demand for Corn in the U.S. Source: USDA Economic Research Service and USDA WASDE. (1) Based on 2019 – 2023 average. 17 ▪ 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 ~39% of annual corn crop(1) ▪ Ethanol ▪ Consumes ~36% of annual corn crop(1) ▪ Drop in demand for corn in 2021 was impacted by the loss of gasoline and ethanol demand as a result of COVID-19 ▪ Increased export volumes more than offset 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 U.S. Domestic Corn Use Domestic Corn Planted Acres and Yield per Acre Historical Corn Pricing $4.37
Page 19
▪ Summer Ammonia and UAN fill were completed in June, and Ammonia prepay for 4Q shipment was completed in early July. Demand for nitrogen looked strong going into 4Q, consistent with the buying taking place by retailers and growers in solid financial condition. Corn Belt UAN and Ammonia prices for 4Q delivery were approximately $230 - $250/ton and $500 - $550/ton, respectively. ▪ Grain prices softened on concerns over global demand and potential large U.S. crop production. USDA was estimating corn stocks-to-use ratio of approximately 14%. Growers were expected to apply fertilizer in the Fall at similar rates to last year in efforts to maximize yield potential in a lower price environment. 2023 Recent Domestic Nitrogen Fertilizer Market Conditions 2024 ▪ Inventories of nitrogen fertilizers across the industry were lower than normal starting the new year after a robust fall application period. ▪ Corn Belt and UAN and ammonia prices for spring delivery were approximately $280 - $295/ton and $550 - $580/ton, respectively. ▪ Demand for ammonia was strong in 1Q 2024 as favorable weather conditions allowed farmers to apply ammonia earlier in the year. Summer Spring ▪ Fertilizer application started earlier than normal and activity levels were high through March; sporadic activity in April and May allowed enough downtime for producer inventories to rebuild across the system. ▪ USDA estimated planted corn acreage to be 91 million in 2024, compared to 95 million in 2023. ▪ Corn Belt and UAN and ammonia prices for spring delivery are approximately $275 - $280 per ton and $575 - $590 per ton, respectively. 18 Winter Fall ▪ USDA estimates 90.7 million acres of corn were planted in 2024 with harvested acres of 82.7 million and yields of 183.1 bushels per acre, resulting in carryout inventories below the ten-year average. ▪ Harvest completed in early November and demand was high for Fall ammonia application, although weather was an issue for application in some regions. Corn Belt UAN and Ammonia market prices for 4Q approximately $250/ton and $595/ton, respectively. ▪ Spot natural gas prices increased in the United States, approaching $4 per MMBtu, although remained well below TTF prices over $13 per MMBtu. ▪ December 2025 corn futures prices over $4.25/bu. With solid farm economics projected for 2025 the outlook is for an increase in corn acres planted relative to 2024, which should bode well for nitrogen fertilizer demand.
