THE MOSAIC COMPANY REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
TAMPA, FL, November 2, 2020 - The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS), reported a net loss of $6 million, or $0.02 per share, for the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted EPS(1) was $0.23 and adjusted EBITDA(1) was $438 million. Gross margin was $355 million compared to $280 million a year ago, an increase of 27 percent, as a 3 percent increase in finished goods sales volumes and improved costs offset the impact of lower year-over-year prices in all three segments. Reported earnings were negatively impacted by notable items of $93 million after tax, or $0.25 per share, of which $68 million, or $0.17 per share, resulted from noncash charges from an annual review of estimated future phosphate asset retirement obligations and an environmental remediation reserve.
"Mosaic's results for the third quarter continue to reflect the positive impact of our transformation work, which drove earnings growth despite year-over-year realized price declines," said Joc O'Rourke, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Prices and demand for our products are recovering in 2020, positioning us to benefit from strong price realization in the fourth quarter in addition to our improved cost profile. With improving grain and oil seed prices and limited inventories of fertilizer in all channels, we expect strong business conditions to continue into 2021."
Highlights:
•Unrestricted cash totaled $923 million as of September 30. The company generated $341 million in cash flow from operations in the quarter, and lowered short-term debt by $389 million.
◦Subsequent to quarter end, the company repaid over $200 million in short-term debt, completing the repayment of all borrowings incurred in the first quarter of 2020.
◦In July, the company increased the capacity under its corporate revolver from $2.0 billion to $2.2 billion and extended the maturity by one year to November 18, 2022. At quarter end, Mosaic had a liquidity position in excess of $3 billion.
(1)See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information and reconciliation.
•Total sales volume in the third quarter was 3 percent higher than the same period one year ago.
◦Mosaic Fertilizantes recorded its highest quarterly sales volumes since Mosaic acquired Vale's fertilizer production assets. Year-to-date Mosaic Fertilizantes volumes are up 17 percent.
◦Phosphates sales volumes were down 6 percent year-over-year due to inventory limitations resulting from a very strong spring season. During the quarter, planned turnarounds and severe weather negatively impacted third quarter 2020 production volumes, and together with continued customer demand, limited the company's ability to rebuild inventory levels. As a result, a portion of tonnes produced and committed late in the third quarter will instead be shipped in the fourth quarter. Year-to-date volumes were up 1 percent.
◦Potash sales volume of 2.3 million tonnes in the third quarter was down 2 percent year-over-year due to timing, as seasonal sales in North America and Brazil occurred earlier in 2020 than 2019. Year-to-date volumes were up 6 percent.
◦Performance products, including MicroEssentials®, Aspire®, and K-Mag® were 13 percent of total sales volumes in the third quarter, down slightly from 14 percent in the prior year period.
•The company continues to transform its cost structure. After achieving five of seven 2021 cost targets in the second quarter, the company announced new targets for 2023 on September 18.
◦Mosaic Fertilizantes remains on track to exceed its full year transformation target of $50 million.
◦Cash costs of MOP production, excluding brine costs, were $52 per tonne in the third quarter, down from $61 in the prior year period as the company continues to shift production to its new, low-cost Esterhazy K3 facility and transform overall operations.
◦Cash costs of brine management in the quarter were $16 million, down from $24 million in the year ago period. These costs are expected to be eliminated by 2022.
◦Phosphates' cash conversion and mining costs per tonne were flat with last years' quarter, as turnarounds and weather-related slowdowns negatively impacted volumes. Total fixed costs in the third quarter, however, were down 8 percent year-over-year, as a result of continued cost structure improvement under the business unit's transformation program.
•Mosaic filed petitions seeking countervailing duties on phosphate fertilizer imports to the U.S. from Morocco and Russia on June 26. The Department of Commerce is expected to publish its preliminary findings as to subsidies and any preliminary duties by November 23, and the company expects the final determinations of the Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission to be issued in the first quarter of 2021.
•As Covid-19 continues to impact the global economy, agriculture and food security remain global priorities resulting in limited impact to agricultural inputs, including fertilizer and its supply chains. Mosaic's response to the pandemic has continued to be effective in limiting its impacts on our operating facilities, employees, supply chain and logistics.
Capital expenditures totaled $265 million in the quarter, down from $322 million in the prior year period. Mosaic’s total cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, were $923 million compared with $641 million a year ago, and net debt decreased to $3.9 billion at the end of the quarter, from $4.1 billion at June 30, 2020.
Third Quarter Segment Results
| Potash Results* | 3Q 2020 | 2Q 2020 | 3Q 2019 | ||||||||
| Sales Volumes million tonnes | 2.3 | 2.6 | 2.3 | ||||||||
MOP Selling Price(2) | $170 | $180 | $235 | ||||||||
Average Finished Product Selling Price (destination) | $205 | $217 | $266 | ||||||||
*Tonnes = finished product tonnes
(2) Average MOP Selling Price (fob mine)
Net sales in the Potash segment totaled $464 million for the third quarter, down from $616 million one year ago, due to lower sales prices. Gross margin for the third quarter was $108 million compared to $158 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease reflects a $65 per tonne decline in MOP selling prices, partially offset by lower production costs and resource taxes.
Actions taken to optimize production and accelerate development of our Esterhazy K3 project drove net cash costs of production excluding brine management costs to $52 per tonne compared to $61 in the year-ago period.
| Mosaic Fertilizantes Results* | 3Q 2020 | 2Q 2020 | 3Q 2019 | ||||||||
| Sales Volumes million tonnes | 3.6 | 2.6 | 3.4 | ||||||||

| Average Finished Product Selling Price (destination) | $318 | $308 | $405 | ||||||||
*Tonnes = finished product tonnes
(3) Average MAP selling price (Brazil production, delivered price to third party customers)
Mosaic Fertilizantes achieved record quarterly sales volumes of 3.6 million tonnes, reflecting ongoing strength in Brazilian agricultural economics. Net sales in the Mosaic Fertilizantes segment were $1.1 billion for the third quarter, down from $1.4 billion in the prior year period due to lower year-over-year prices, partially offset by stronger sales volumes. Gross margin was $177 million, compared to $132 million for the same period a year ago, as lower costs and higher volumes offset the impact of lower year-over-year prices.
Cash costs of phosphate rock production per tonne were R$324 in the quarter, higher than second quarter 2020 or third quarter 2019, as the volumes were impacted by turnarounds and the mix of mining temporarily shifted to higher cost
mines. Cash costs of phosphate conversion per tonne were R$302 in the third quarter, down from R$351 in the year ago period.
Mosaic will provide a detailed update on the segment during the November 9, 2020 Mosaic analyst presentation.
| Phosphates Results* | 3Q 2020 | 2Q 2020 | 3Q 2019 | ||||||||
| Sales Volumes million tonnes | 2.1 | 2.2 | 2.2 | ||||||||
DAP Selling Price(4) | $307 | $287 | $310 | ||||||||
Average Finished Product Selling Price (destination) | $354 | $338 | $355 | ||||||||
*Tonnes = finished product tonnes
(4) Average DAP Selling Price (fob plant)
Phosphates gross margin per tonne improved to $11 from negative $10 in the prior year period, as lower DAP selling prices were more than offset by lower raw material costs, primarily sulfur, and lower production costs. Globally, phosphate prices declined through the second quarter before rebounding in the third quarter. As sales prices are typically set 45 to 60 days in advance of delivery, approximately 60 percent of sales recognized in the third quarter were priced below $300 per tonne. As prices recovered during the third quarter, Mosaic's gross margin per tonne increased, reaching $27 per tonne in the month of September.
Other
Selling, general and administrative costs (SG&A) were $98 million, up from $78 million in the year-ago period, due to higher costs related to executing our strategic priorities, as well as higher incentive compensation as a result of improved performance. The company expects SG&A expenses to end 2020 approximately $10 to $15 million above its stated target.
Other operating expenses in the quarter were $159 million, compared to $62 million in the third quarter of 2019, and included the following non-cash notable expenses: a $73 million increase to the Phosphates asset retirement obligation (ARO) reserve from changed assumptions related to future spending, and a $35 million increase to an environmental remediation reserve. Total Phosphates ARO cash spending in the quarter was $28 million.
Tax
While cash taxes are expected to be approximately zero in 2020, the effective rate for full year 2020 is expected to be in the mid-to-high 50 percent range due to the mix of earnings by jurisdiction. The full year effective tax rate for 2021 is expected to be in the mid-30 percent range under current tax regulations.

Year-to-date comparisons continue to show the impact of year-over-year average price declines. Year-to-date, the gross margin percentage declined to 10 percent from 12 percent in the same period of 2019. However, pricing trends have been improving through 2020, resulting in the third quarter 2020 gross margin increasing to 15 percent from 10 percent in the third quarter last year.
2020 Market Outlook and Key Assumptions
Strengthening fundamental trends over the first nine months of 2020 are expected to continue into 2021. Grower economics around the world remain attractive as a result of strong crop demand, affordable inputs and favorable weather. Fertilizer inventories in the largest global markets remain below average as a result of tight supply. Global phosphates tightness reflects the cumulative impact of Covid-19 production slowdowns earlier in the year, producer curtailments at the end of 2019 and early 2020 that lowered available producer inventory, a decline in Chinese exports, and strong fertilizer applications.
Year-to-date, benchmark phosphate prices around the globe have risen. Notably, DAP prices in India have risen by 22 percent and prices in Brazil have increased by 30 percent despite increased supply from Russia and Morocco in those countries.
In the U.S., price increases, which began in the first half of the year as a result of the tightening market conditions, accelerated as trade flows adjusted in response to Mosaic's countervailing duty petition. Although supply from less traditional sources has begun to back-fill the shortfall and reduce the U.S. premium, the North American market remains tight. Recovery of the ethanol market and higher corn exports are driving an improved agricultural commodity outlook, particularly for the 2021 crop prices, which influence fall fertilizer decisions. The fall harvest season began early, which Mosaic believes will allow for an elongated fall application season and strong fertilizer demand.
Potash prices are expected to be stable, after an increase in most global benchmarks subsequent to the settlement of the China and India contracts. Phosphate and potash shipments in both India and Brazil remain on track to exceed 2019 levels. China's corn market remains tight, driving domestic demand and consumption of all fertilizers, with the potential to post their first year-over-year increases of phosphate fertilizer shipments in several years.
The Company provided the following modeling assumptions for the full year 2020:

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 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 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 September 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.

Selected Calendar Quarter Financial Information

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 less equity in net earnings (loss) of nonconsolidated companies, net of dividends. 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) 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.
