THE MOSAIC COMPANY REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
Minimal Negative Impacts from COVID-19
Agriculture Deemed Essential Business in Company's Major Markets
Strong Spring Season in North America

TAMPA, FL, May 4, 2020 - The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS), reported net sales of $1.8 billion and a year-over-year finished goods sales volume increase of 14 percent. The company reported a net loss of $203 million for the first quarter of 2020, including $295 million of noncash foreign currency losses, which were primarily offset in other comprehensive income on the balance sheet. Adjusted net loss was $21 million, a decrease of $119 million from the prior year, as lower finished goods prices were partially offset by lower phosphate raw material costs and strong sales volumes. The loss per share was $0.54, adjusted loss per share was $0.06 and adjusted EBITDA(1) was $214 million.
Highlights:
•
Agriculture has been deemed an essential business in nearly all of Mosaic's key markets, resulting in the prioritization of logistics and support for agricultural inputs, including fertilizer, in order to ensure food security.
•
To date, there have been no material impacts to Mosaic's operating facilities, employees, supply chain and logistics as a result of COVID-19.
•
The company's action plans and employee diligence have resulted in only a handful of employee COVID-19 cases, which have been effectively isolated.
•
Mosaic continues to support its communities by investing over $1.5 million in local food and medical supply relief.
•
Cash flow from operations was $190 million, a $366 million improvement from the year-ago period, as a result of stronger markets and volumes, and an improved working capital position.
◦
In 2020, in addition to cash flow from earnings, the company expects to receive up to $170 million in cash proceeds from tax refunds and the unwinding of an interest rate swap.


(1)See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information and reconciliation.



•
Unrestricted cash totaled $1.1 billion as of March 31, as the company accessed credit facilities and managed working capital to ensure maximum financial flexibility during the current period of economic volatility.
•
Sales volumes in all three businesses in the first quarter were higher than one year ago.
◦
Sales of potash and phosphate in North America were driven by late-fall applications resulting in strong sales volumes early in the year.
◦
Mosaic's Brazilian business recorded its best ever first quarter sales volume.
•
The company continues to execute well and make progress toward its 2021 targets.
◦
Mosaic Fertilizantes achieved transformational savings of $17 million in the quarter towards its $50 million 2020 target.
▪
The cash costs of phosphate rock per tonne in real were R$312, ahead of the 2021 target of
R$320.
▪
The cash costs of phosphate conversion per tonne were R$309, down from R$321 in 2019, migrating towards its 2021 target of R$275.
◦
Potash cash costs of production per tonne, excluding brine costs, were $59, reflecting the accelerated shift of production to Esterhazy K3 and currency benefits, driving costs lower than the 2021 target of $62 per tonne.
▪
The Esterhazy K3 mine development project continues to progress, with the third automated miner placed into service in the first quarter.
◦
Phosphates' mining delivered cash rock costs of $36 per tonne, better than the $39 per tonne 2021 target, and the best quarterly result in six quarters.

“Mosaic's products are critical to ensuring that the global food supply remains sufficient and we appreciate the efforts of governments, our supply chain partners, our customers and Mosaic's employees to support farmers' needs,” said Joc O’Rourke, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are all moving forward to capture the opportunity before us: meeting ever-rising demand for food."

Cash flow provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2020 was $190 million, compared to operating cash flow of negative $176 million in 2019 and negative $71 million in the same period of 2018. The first quarter typically reflects a seasonal inventory build that increases working capital. The working capital decrease of $194 million during the first quarter of 2020 primarily reflected significantly stronger sales volumes, up 14 percent from the prior year period, declining company inventories, and diligent management of other working capital items. Capital expenditures totaled $264 million in the quarter, down from $314 million in the prior year period. Mosaic’s total cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, were $1.1 billion compared with $385 million a year ago, and include $400 million drawn from a $2 billion committed line of credit in March 2020, for the sole purpose of prudently increasing cash-on-hand. During the first quarter, the company also accessed approximately $575 million under short term working capital facilities and reduced outstanding structured payables in Brazil by $241 million. Long-term debt was $4.6 billion as of March 31, 2020.

Net sales in the Potash segment totaled $442 million for the first quarter, down from $504 million last year, driven primarily by lower prices. Volumes were flat with the year-ago period, as improving North American sales were offset by the global impacts of a lack of a Chinese contract. Gross margin was $109 million for the first quarter compared to $185 million for the same period a year ago, as lower prices more than offset lower costs per tonne.
The actions the company has taken to lower costs through the optimization of production and the accelerated development of K3, has driven the net cash costs of production, excluding brine management costs, to $59 per tonne, below the company's 2021 target of $62 per tonne at an 85% operating rate and the lowest cost per tonne since the fourth quarter of 2018 which had a 99% operating rate. Cash brine management costs declined to $21 million from $28 million in the year ago period, as the company continues to benefit from the risk mitigation effects of K3.

Mosaic Fertilizantes delivered its best first quarter since formation in terms of sales volumes and gross margin. Net sales in the Mosaic Fertilizantes segment were $731 million for the first quarter, up from $698 million in the prior year first quarter despite a softer pricing environment. Gross margin was $66 million, compared to $52 million for the same period a year ago. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was driven by improved margins and volumes in the distribution business coupled with a significant currency tailwind.
Mosaic Fertilizantes delivered $17 million in transformational benefits in the quarter, ahead of plan. For the full year 2020, the company continues to believe it will achieve $50 million in Mosaic Fertilizantes' transformational benefits.
Mosaic Fertilizantes' cash costs of phosphate rock per tonne were R$312, ahead of the 2021 target of R$320. Cash costs of phosphate conversion per tonne were R$309 in the first quarter, down from R$321 in 2019 and on a path to the 2021 target of R$275.

Phosphates sales volumes improved from the same period one year ago as North America experienced a late fall application surge, which drove strong sales early in the first quarter of 2020. Net sales in the Phosphates segment were $619 million for the first quarter, down from $806 million in the prior year first quarter, primarily driven by lower sales prices. Gross margin in the first quarter was $(83) million, compared to $55 million in the prior year first quarter, as lower prices and the cost impact of a lower operating rate were only partially offset by improved raw material costs. Gross margin per tonne was $(43), including $2 per tonne incremental costs from the COVID-19 related temporary idling of Miski Mayo phosphate mine. Cash gross margin, excluding the Miski Mayo idling impact, was $18 per tonne.
The cash cost of mined rock in Florida fell to $36 per tonne from $43 per tonne in the prior year first quarter, due to transformational efforts and favorable geology in the current mining areas.
The cash cost of conversion increased slightly year-over-year, due to the January and February curtailment of operations at the Bartow facility.
Other
The company recorded a total of $295 million in unrealized foreign currency losses in the first quarter. Of this amount, $239 million resulted from the normal quarter end accounting process for U.S. dollar denominated payables on non U.S. subsidiaries' balance sheets. This amount was offset in the consolidated balance sheet under other comprehensive income. The remaining $56 million reflects the mark-to-market on normal course hedging activity.
Selling, general and administrative costs (SG&A) were $68 million, down from $94 million in the year-ago period. The decline reflects lower total shareholder return (TSR) based long-term incentive payments, primarily due to the company not meeting the performance hurdles for vesting in fiscal 2019.
In addition to cash generated from earnings, the company expects up to $170 million in cash proceeds from both U.S. and non-U.S. tax refunds and the unwinding of an interest rate swap in 2020. These cash tax refunds are in excess of those factored into the company's previously disclosed cash tax estimate for 2020.
The tax rate during the first quarter of 2020 was 42 percent due to the pretax loss and changes in the mix of earnings from various tax jurisdictions. The full year 2020 effective tax rate is expected to be in the mid-to-high 30 percent range.  Net cash income tax in 2020 is expected to be a refund of approximately $15 million, compared to prior expectations of a net payment of $60 million.




2020 Market Outlook and Key Assumptions
Brazilian growers are benefiting significantly from the weak Brazilian currency, with fertilizer demand on path to set another shipment record. In North America, fertilizers applications are in the peak spring season, and demand is running high. Mosaic’s retail distribution customers are reporting that demand is out-pacing even their high expectations.
Our April shipment volumes were robust, and North American prices through April have responded positively. We are seeing phosphate cargos that will arrive in May, too late for spring application, pressuring price quotes for May delivery. We believe this dislocation is temporary, and market conditions remain good overall. The impact of COVID-19 in North America has pushed Mosaic’s customers to try to accelerate deliveries where possible, but otherwise the season is playing out like many other normal springs.
In the back half of 2020 there is risk to global shipment volumes if the negative impact of COVID-19 on biofuel and related crop prices continues. Farmers are receiving substantial governmental support globally, which could mitigate the potential negative impact on fertilizer demand.

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 EBITDA, and 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 current and historical periods beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2018, 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.

The Mosaic Company
Selected Calendar Quarter Financial Information
(Unaudited)

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.
