MOSAIC ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY THIRD QUARTER VOLUMES
Tampa, FL, October 10, 2025 – The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) today announced preliminary third quarter 2025 segment volumes. Expectations and guidance for the fourth quarter and full year will be discussed in the upcoming third quarter earnings release and conference call.
Phosphates
On the second quarter earnings call, Mosaic discussed delays in asset health restoration activities within the Phosphate segment. The completion of elevated turnaround and asset health restoration work in early August together with process refinements enabled Mosaic to achieve its targeted production run rate for several consecutive weeks until unexpected mechanical issues at the Riverview sulfuric acid plant and utility interruptions at Bartow in mid-September caused a meaningful decline in overall production for the remainder of the month. As a result, third quarter phosphate production volumes of approximately 1.7 million tonnes, while meaningfully higher than previous quarters, fell below management’s expectations. These issues have since been addressed, and Mosaic expects that the asset health investments completed to date will lead to a sustainable improvement in production rates going forward.
Third quarter sales volumes were approximately 1.6 million tonnes, below production volumes mostly due to the lag of shipments already confirmed and priced.
Mosaic Fertilizantes
Sales volumes for Mosaic Fertilizantes in the third quarter were approximately 2.8 million tonnes, a 25% increase from the second quarter. Consistent with previous practice, Mosaic continues to focus on optimizing profitability in a tight credit environment.
Potash
Production and sales volumes for potash in the third quarter were both approximately 2.3 million tonnes.
