THE MOSAIC COMPANY REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2020 RESULTS

TAMPA, FL, February 17, 2021 - The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) reported net income of $666 million and earnings per share (EPS) of $1.75 for full year 2020. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the year was $1.56 billion and adjusted EPS(1) was $0.85.

The company’s fourth quarter net income was $828 million and EPS was $2.17. Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $508 million in the quarter and adjusted EPS(1) was $0.57. Net income for the year and quarter includes $580 million in discrete tax benefits recognized in the quarter.

Improving fertilizer markets during the second half of 2020 reflected the tightening supply and demand balance in both potash and phosphates. Grower economics improved materially across most geographies, while diminished inventories and limited supply in the U.S. market in particular led to nutrient price improvements during the third and fourth quarters of 2020.

Mosaic realized significant improvements in its cost structure by executing its transformation plans. In total, the company delivered over $300 million in transformation savings in 2020, including $100 million from shifting potash production from the Colonsay mine to the company’s new Esterhazy K3 facility. Potash continues to benefit from the transition from Esterhazy K1 and K2 to K3 as brine management costs decline. In phosphates, the integrated operating center is now functional and is expected to drive additional savings as well as improved safety. The Mosaic Fertilizantes business in Brazil exceeded its $50 million 2020 transformation target by over 100 percent.

“Our actions to optimize our portfolio of assets and invest in efficiencies, along with our reduced inventories and the expected strong global fertilizer demand in 2021, position the company well for 2021”, said President and Chief Executive Officer Joc O’Rourke. "However, in the U.S. market, those strong trends depend in part on the outcome of a pending trade case whose outcome is uncertain."

In 2020, Mosaic made important progress:
Delivered excellent safety results and continued activities to protect our employees and operations from the effects of the pandemic.
Realized $115 million in transformation benefits in Mosaic Fertilizantes.
Commissioned the sixth four-rotor miner and produced 1.3 million tonnes of MOP from Esterhazy K3 during the year, and lowered MOP cash costs per tonne, excluding brine management costs, to $56 in 2020, with Belle Plaine cash costs per tonne reaching $48, the lowest in a decade.
Lowered phosphates cash conversion costs to $62 per tonne and U.S. cash mining costs to $37 per tonne in 2020.
Lowered phosphates total fixed costs by $50 million.
Reduced 2020 brine management cash costs to $73 million.
Realized over 10 percent growth in sales volumes in both Potash and Mosaic Fertilizantes, and delivered record sales of MicroEssentials.

The Potash segment reported net sales of $2.0 billion in 2020, down slightly from $2.1 billion in 2019, as higher volumes were offset by lower prices. Cash costs of production, excluding brine management costs, fell to $56 per tonne from $65. Brine inflow cash costs were down 28% from 2019 to $73 million. Gross margin per tonne was $50 per tonne, down from $79 per tonne last year, and adjusted gross margin per tonne(1) declined year over year from $83 per tonne to $58 per tonne, as cost improvements only partially offset average realized price declines.

Mosaic remained on track in its development of the K3 project at Esterhazy, which is expected to reach full operational capacity by mid-2022, with brine management costs expected to drop to an immaterial level by the end of 2021.

Favorable crop pricing and foreign currency rates benefited Brazilian grower economics, which drove demand for inputs. The second half of 2020 was marked by strong nutrient pricing, volumes and cost controls, partially offsetting the weaker pricing environment at the start of the year.

Volumes grew 14% over 2019, but this was offset by full year realized prices being down 17%, reflecting weakness in the first and second quarters. Prices recovered during the second half of the year. Net sales for Mosaic Fertilizantes declined from $3.8 billion in 2019 to $3.5 billion in 2020. Gross margin per tonne in the segment rose from $31 per tonne in 2019 to $40 per tonne in 2020, as cost improvements during year and the absence of the costs associated with tailings dam compliance that impacted 2019 results more than offset lower prices.

A shift in global trade flows as a result of the company's countervailing duty (CVD) petition marked the second half of 2020. In North America, the announced 2021 spring import shipments are very similar to 2020 spring imports in terms of overall volume, indicating the expected shift in phosphate trade flows is well under way. In addition, outside the United States, phosphate inventories were depleted at the same time that global crop prices climbed, driving demand for inputs in major agriculture regions. For the full year, average realized prices were down, predominantly due to first half weakness. Prices ended the year up substantially from the prior year due to factors noted above.

Net sales in Phosphates fell from $3.2 billion in 2019 to $3.1 billion in 2020. Sales volumes rose from 8.2 million tonnes in 2019 to 8.5 million tonnes, but this increase was partially offset by the decline in average realized selling price. Despite
(1)See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information and reconciliation.


lower realized prices, gross margin per tonne was $15 in 2020, compared to a loss of $10 per tonne in 2019, and adjusted gross margin per tonne increased to $16 in 2020 from a loss of $5 in 2019, reflecting improved mining and conversion cost performance as well as lower input costs.

MicroEssentials sales volumes in 2020 hit a record 3.1 million tonnes, up from 2.7 million tonnes in 2019. The gross margin premium for MicroEssentials products over MAP remained consistent with prior years at approximately $40 per tonne.
Other
Full-year selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $372 million in 2020 versus $354 million in 2019, driven by increased investments in transformation initiatives and higher incentive compensation expense.

Mosaic recognized a loss on equity investments of $94 million, including a $97 million loss for the company’s share of the MWSPC joint venture in Saudi Arabia, as a result of less than full operating rates and challenging global phosphate market conditions in the first half of the year.

The reported effective tax rate for 2020 was negative 320 percent, and 17 percent excluding discrete items. Discrete items included the reversal of a tax valuation reserve established with the acquisition of Vale Fertilizantes. The effective rate, excluding discrete items, was driven by the mix of earnings across jurisdictions and benefits related to non-U.S. tax incentives. Cash taxes paid in 2020 were $6 million.

In 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.6 billion and capital expenditures were $1.2 billion

Fourth Quarter 2020 Results
Fertilizer markets strengthened, and global prices continued to move higher. Increasing crop prices globally are incenting growers to maximize yield through nutrient application, and this strong demand is leading to significant declines in both producer and channel inventories in both phosphate and potash. In North America, strong demand, good application seasons, and lower phosphate imports have diminished channel inventories and driven prices higher.

Mosaic’s net sales in the fourth quarter of 2020 were $2.5 billion, compared to $2.1 billion last year, driven by volume growth in all segments and higher prices in phosphates compared to last year’s fourth quarter.

(2)Average MOP selling price (fob mine)

Net sales in the Potash segment totaled $559 million for the fourth quarter, up from $395 million last year, reflecting an increase in sales volumes, partially offset by lower prices. Gross margin per tonne was $45 per tonne compared to $61 per tonne a year ago due to lower average realized prices and a higher percentage of sales to Canpotex, which have a lower margin.

Potash production for the fourth quarter was 2.1 million tonnes, or 85 percent of operational capacity, up from 63 percent in the prior year quarter.

MOP cash cost of production per tonne in the fourth quarter rose from the third quarter, primarily reflecting a turnaround at Esterhazy K2 and higher incentive plan compensation costs.

Gross margin was $76 million, or $32 per tonne, compared to $70 million, or $32 per tonne for the same period a year ago, reflecting cost improvements offset by lower average prices and higher turnaround costs in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Net sales in the Phosphates segment were $990 million for the fourth quarter, up from $698 million in the prior year quarter, driven by higher prices and volumes. Gross margin per tonne in the fourth quarter was $73 per tonne. The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by higher realized prices in the United States and globally, the elimination of the pricing discount previously seen in the United States, and lower raw material costs.

Mosaic’s North American finished phosphate production was 2.1 million tonnes, or 86 percent of operational capacity, compared to 1.9 million tonnes, or 79 percent of operational capacity, during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Other
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $111 million for the fourth quarter, up from $105 million last year, as a result of increased investment in transformation initiatives and higher incentive compensation expense. Other Operating Expense was $6 million.

The reported effective tax rate during the fourth quarter of 2020 was negative 134 percent and 28 percent excluding discrete items. The provision for income taxes in the fourth quarter included a cost of $39 million related to the decrease in the full-year effective tax rate to 17% excluding discrete items. In 2021, cash taxes are expected to be approximately $150 million, and the effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, in the low-20 percent range, both dependent upon earnings levels and geographic mix.

Cash flow provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $238 million compared to $278 million in the prior year period. The prior year period included approximately $120 million cash flow from a decrease in working capital, primarily from the liquidation of inventory. The current year period began and ended with minimal inventory levels, and included an increase in working capital primarily from an increase in receivables as a result of strong volumes and higher prices. Capital expenditures totaled $385 million in the quarter.

2021 Market Outlook
Improving market dynamics in the second half of 2020 are expected to continue through 2021. Global demand for grains and oilseeds remains high and farm economics remain robust. As a result, we expect strong global fertilizer demand in 2021. This strong demand has driven rapid price increases in the United States and globally, which are normally realized in our earnings after an average lag of 45 to 60 days.

Phosphate demand is strong globally, and producer and channel inventories remain well below normal ahead of the North American application season. While Chinese phosphate exports continue to be a key consideration, declines in 2020 are expected to hold into 2021, as strong domestic demand and recent industry restructuring limit supplies available for export. In phosphates, the company expects to realize a $40 to $50 per tonne improvement in average realized prices in the first quarter over the fourth quarter, and expects global supply and demand balance to remain tight through the year.

In potash, favorable grower economics have led to strong demand in globally, which is expected to continue through 2021. The company expects to realize a $20 to $25 per tonne improvement in average realized prices in the first quarter over the fourth quarter of 2020, and benefit throughout 2021 from improving pricing globally.

Sensitivities Table Using 2020 Cost Structure
The Company provided the following sensitivities to price and foreign exchange rates to help investors anticipate the potential impact of movements in these factors.
These sensitivities are based on 2020 adjusted EBITDA of $1.56 billion. The company's price exposure increase is driven by higher sales volumes in 2020 compared to 2019. The company's gross BRL exposure decline is driven by lower relative costs from transformation and cost management initiatives. The company hedges approximately 50 percent of its Brazilian real exposures over time.

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, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, 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. 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, 2019 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Mosaic has presented in this Selected Calendar Quarter Financial Information certain non-GAAP financial measures, or measures calculated based on non-GAAP financial measures, including: Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Gross Margin. 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 GAAP. Each of the non-GAAP financial measures we present is determined as described below.
The non-GAAP financial measures we present should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because these non-GAAP measures, as presented, 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 Diluted Net Earnings Per Share
Adjusted diluted net earnings per share is defined as diluted net earnings per share, excluding the impact of notable items. Notable items impact on diluted net earnings per share is calculated as notable item amount plus income tax effect, based on expected annual effective tax rate, divided by diluted weighted average shares. Management believes that adjusted diluted net earnings per share provides securities analysts, investors and others, in addition to management, 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. Management utilizes adjusted diluted net earnings per share in analyzing and assessing Mosaic’s overall performance, for financial and operating decision-making, and to forecast and plan for the future periods. Adjusted diluted net earnings per share also assists our management in comparing our and our competitors' operating results. Reconciliations of adjusted diluted net earnings per share to diluted net earnings per share for the periods presented are provided under “Consolidated Data” on the first page of this Selected Calendar Quarter Financial Information.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated Net Income (Loss) before net interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, asset retirement obligation accretion, share-based compensation expense and provision for/(benefit) from income taxes. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted for notable items that management excludes in analyzing our performance. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we provide to assist securities analysts, investors, lenders and others in their comparisons of operational performance, valuation and debt capacity across companies with differing capital, tax and legal structures. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, consolidated Net Income (Loss) as a measure of operating performance. A reconciliation of Consolidated Net Income (Loss) to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is provided below.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA presented at the segment level is defined as the related segment's operating earnings (loss) plus depreciation, depletion and amortization plus asset retirement obligation accretion plus foreign exchange gain (loss) plus other income (expense) plus equity earnings (loss) less equity earnings (loss) from noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA is also



adjusted for notable items that management excludes in analyzing our performance. We provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they are relevant and useful to securities analysts, investors and others because they are part of our internal management reporting and planning process, and our management uses these measures to evaluate the operational performance and valuation of our segments. Management also uses these measures as a method of comparing segment, performance with that of its competitors. Segment Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, segment Operating Earnings (Loss) and segment Operating Earnings (Loss)/sales tonne, respectively, as measures of operating performance. Management believes Operating Earnings (Loss) and segment Operating Earnings (Loss)/sales tonne, respectively, are the most directly comparable GAAP measures because we do not allocate taxes on a segment basis. Reconciliations of Segment Adjusted EBITDA to segment Operating Earnings (Loss) and segment Operating (Loss) Earnings/sales tonne, respectively, are provided as part of each segment's Selected Calendar Quarter Financial Information.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted gross margin is defined as gross margin excluding the impact of notable items. Management believes the adjusted measures provides security analysts, investors, management & 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. Management utilizes adjusted gross margin in analyzing and assessing Mosaic's overall performance for financial and operating decision-making and to forecast and plan for future periods.
