Letter from our President and CEO

FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS,

Nutrien plays a critical role in feeding a growing global population through deep relationships with farmers and leading assets across the agriculture value chain. As farmers face challenges amid an evolving market, our focus remains on efficiently supplying the products and services they need to improve crop yields and support more resilient food systems.

2025 was a defining year for our Company, with exceptional performance across all operating segments and an organization that is now leaner, more disciplined and better positioned than ever to deliver on its potential.

Advancing our strategic focus

Our vision is to be the leading global agriculture solutions provider, delivering superior shareholder value through safe and sustainable operations. To achieve this vision, our strategy is anchored in three priorities: simplify and focus, operational excellence, and disciplined and intentional capital allocation. This strategy is designed to strengthen our business, drive structural growth in free cash flow and deliver reliable and growing cash returns to shareholders.

At our 2024 Investor Day, we outlined an ambitious three-year plan with clear performance targets to measure our progress. This included increasing upstream fertilizer sales volumes from our existing low-cost asset base, growing downstream Retail earnings through targeted growth initiatives and reducing overall operating expenses and capital expenditures.

We also communicated a plan to simplify our portfolio, evaluating all assets with further rigor and initiating strategic reviews where warranted. This portfolio optimization concentrates our capital on assets with the highest quality earnings and cash flow streams while supporting prudent balance sheet management.

To support the execution of our plan, we have taken purposeful steps to position our organization as one

that is committed to excellence and determined to deliver industry-leading results. We have streamlined leadership structures, established clear accountabilities, centralized functions and decision-making, and created a single corporate compensation scorecard aligned to the achievement of our strategic priorities.

Delivering clear results

In 2025, our strong execution delivered excellent operational and financial results.

We achieved record fertilizer sales volumes of 27.5 million tonnes, utilizing our world-class upstream and midstream network to efficiently serve our customers. In Potash, we achieved 49 percent mine automation, a significant accomplishment that further strengthens our low-cost advantage and supports worker health and safety. Our Nitrogen operations delivered a 4-percentage-point improvement in ammonia operating rates, as we advanced reliability initiatives and completed low-cost debottlenecks at our Redwater and Geismar sites.

Our downstream Retail business increased adjusted EBITDA to $1.74 billion through decisive cost reduction actions, stronger proprietary margins and disciplined execution of our Brazil margin-improvement plan. Our unwavering focus on controllables enabled us to manage through weaker agricultural commodity markets and persistent geopolitical volatility, ultimately delivering results consistent with our guidance set at the beginning of the year.

We surpassed our $200 million annual cost savings target and reduced capital expenditures to $2.0 billion, well below our target of $2.2 to $2.3 billion. As a result of these efforts, we have structurally grown free cash flow, strengthening the Company today and providing significant headroom for capital deployment going forward.

Letter from our President and CEO

Focusing capital allocation with strategic actions

Alongside exceptional operational performance, we view consistent and disciplined capital allocation as essential to enhancing our competitive position. In 2025, we optimized our portfolio of assets, strengthened our balance sheet and enhanced shareholder returns.

We completed a comprehensive evaluation of each asset in our portfolio on the merits of free cash flow contribution, return on invested capital and relative competitive position. This review highlighted assets that could be further optimized or monetized, while sharpening our focus on improving capital efficiency, thereby enhancing both sources and uses of cash.

Where an asset did not meet our thresholds or was not a strategic fit, we took action. We progressed non-core divestitures, including our equity interests in Profertil, Sinofert and smaller assets, generating approximately $900 million in gross proceeds. We initiated a review of strategic alternatives for our Phosphate business and are on track to solidify the optimal path in 2026, and we continue to assess options for our Trinidad operations.

We materially lowered adjusted net debt^1^ by approximately $600 million and ended the year at 1.8x adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA.^1^ We continue to position the balance sheet as a strategic asset that provides flexibility to act counter-cyclically and pursue high-return growth opportunities or return cash to our shareholders.

LOGO

2025 marked the first full year of ratable share repurchases. This approach maintains market participation via consistent repurchases that dollar-cost average and aligns with our focus on growing free cash flow per share. The reduction in share count further supports our longstanding track record of providing shareholders with a reliable and growing dividend per share, while keeping total dividend expense broadly stable.

Taken together, strong operating performance and disciplined capital allocation contributed to industry-leading share price appreciation in 2025.^2^

Letter from our President and CEO

Positioning for outperformance

Looking ahead, our goal remains unchanged. We are determined to deliver clear, reliable growth and remain well positioned to be resilient through all market conditions.

Global potash demand is projected to grow for the fourth consecutive year in 2026, supported by strong relative affordability, large nutrient removal and low inventories in key regions. The start of the year has been constructive as most major benchmarks are approximately 20 percent higher than twelve months ago. We are investing in our six-mine potash network and midstream distribution assets to ensure that we are positioned to meet growth in market demand and remain among the most reliable, flexible and cost-advantaged producers.

Geopolitical uncertainty and supply outages continue to impact global nitrogen markets and provide supportive fundamentals for our low-cost North American nitrogen assets. We are well positioned to cost effectively supply our customers and see opportunities to grow volumes through continued reliability improvements and low-cost debottlenecking projects.

Downstream, we anticipate earnings growth through expansion of our proprietary products, tuck-in acquisitions, network optimization initiatives and continued execution of our margin improvement plan in Brazil. For 2026, our Retail adjusted EBITDA guidance is consistent with historical growth rates, underscoring our confidence in the business’s structural earnings expansion.

Organizational focus

I believe an unrelenting focus on our strategic priorities is delivering clear results and positioning Nutrien for long-term success. Across our business, we are focused on driving continuous improvement: lowering costs, improving asset reliability, efficiently serving our customers and maintaining capital allocation discipline to structurally grow free cash flow. These priorities strengthen the core of the business and build a durable foundation for through-the-cycle performance.

On behalf of Nutrien’s Board of Directors and leadership team, a special thank you to our employees for their focus, hard work and dedication. To our shareholders, thank you for the trust you place in Nutrien and our team.

I am proud of our achievements in 2025 and excited about the extraordinary potential to build on this momentum and continue generating industry-leading results for our shareholders.

Market overview and fundamentals

MARKET OVERVIEW AND FUNDAMENTALS

Rising global food demand <br>From 2000 to 2025, global food consumption growth outpaced population growth. This increase was driven largely by higher<br>per-capita consumption of animal products, fruits, and oils, particularly in emerging economies where rising incomes and urbanization reshape diets. Looking ahead, as global population continues to rise,<br>arable land per capita is expected to decline. These dynamics underscore the mounting challenge of food security, creating long-term opportunities for farmers and input providers to meet escalating demand amid geopolitical volatility that continues<br>to influence trade flows and commodity pricing.	Growth in global population vs. crop consumption^1,2^<br><br><br>(2000–2025 CAGR)<br> <br><br> <br><br><br><br><br>
Driving the need for farming improvements <br>To meet rising consumption, farming practices that include crop inputs, technology and agronomy have evolved significantly, enabling farmers to produce more from finite<br>land. Crop yield, measured as output per unit of land, has been a major contributor to aggregate production growth. Crop intensity, measured as higher rotation of crops each year, has also contributed. Lastly, increases in cropping area have played<br>an important role in meeting historical food consumption growth; however, availability of arable land will limit future growth. This trend underscores the importance of productivity gains as crucial to meet the needs of a growing<br>population.	Crop growth drivers<br> <br>(2000–2025 CAGR)<br><br><br><br> <br><br><br><br><br>
Supported by critical role of crop inputs for growers <br>Modern agriculture relies on a tightly integrated set of inputs that include balanced crop nutrition, crop protection, improved seed genetics and agronomy advancements.<br>Collectively, these advancements support yield across seasons by enhancing plant resilience against pests, weeds and environmental stress. <br>Potash, nitrogen and phosphate are essential to crop production and a cornerstone of agricultural output. Each nutrient plays a distinct role: potash supports water<br>uptake and efficiency of other nutrients, nitrogen improves crop yield and quality and phosphate aids root development.

Market overview and fundamentals

Agriculture and retail

The agriculture retail industry is highly fragmented in most of the major markets in which we operate, and is primarily composed of small and medium-sized competitors. Scale, reliability of supply and the ability to provide innovative products and solutions, including digital offerings, are increasingly important to farmers.

In North America, the primary crops grown include corn, soybeans, wheat, canola and cotton. It is a more mature market, with farmers who are leveraging advanced agriculture tools and are willing and able to invest in high-value products and services. In Australia, our customers require a full suite of crop production inputs and solutions for livestock, water and irrigation services given the more mixed nature of farm operations. Brazil is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing agriculture markets. It is currently the largest soybean producer and the third largest producer of corn and cotton globally.

Our Proprietary products differentiate our crop input offerings and deliver stronger agronomic outcomes, while contributing to an improved margin profile. We also provide flexible financing solutions aligned with growers’ seasonal cash-flow needs, helping them obtain essential crop inputs and supporting our product and service sales.

Agricultural and retail markets are influenced by short and long-term factors ranging from acreage and crop yield, to crop prices and grower cash margins, to government incentives and trade-flows. Global grains ending stocks-to-use ratio is a key indicator to understand supply tightness and explains price trends for key crops.

Potash

Potash strengthens root systems, supporting water uptake and drought and disease tolerance, and increases the efficiency of other nutrients. Potash demand growth is driven by increasing nutrient requirements of higher-yielding crops and improving soil fertility practices, particularly in emerging markets where potash has been historically under-applied and crop yields lag.

High-quality potash reserves in significant quantities are limited to a small number of countries. Canada has the largest known global potash capacity, accounting for approximately 40 percent of the total. Another 35 percent of the world’s potash production capacity is held by Russia and Belarus, making them the next major exporting countries after Canada.

Building new production capacity requires significant capital and time to bring online. The expected cost for a greenfield project, including infrastructure, is over $2,300 per tonne and requires a minimum of 10 years.^1^ Brownfield projects have a significant per-tonne capital cost advantage over greenfield projects.

Most major potash-consuming countries in Asia and Latin America have limited production capability and rely on imports to meet their needs. Trade typically accounts for approximately three-quarters of demand for potash, resulting in a globally diversified marketplace.

Inflation in operating and logistics costs has increased the short run marginal cost of potash supply and higher capital costs have also impacted the long-run marginal cost.

Market overview and fundamentals

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is an essential crop nutrient and is a fundamental building block of plant proteins that improves both crop yield and quality. The necessity of nitrogen for crop yield supports a strong and growing demand for nitrogen fertilizers. Additionally, nitrogen is used as an input in many industrial processes, both as a chemical feedstock and as an inert process gas.

Production of nitrogen products is the most geographically diverse of the three primary crop nutrients due to the widespread availability of hydrogen sources. Access to reliable and competitively priced energy feedstock supply, commonly natural gas, is an important driver of profitability. Geopolitical events continue to create additional volatility in certain global energy markets. North American nitrogen producers currently have an advantaged cost position due to the relatively low price of natural gas compared to competitors in Europe and Asia.

The US is the third largest nitrogen-producing country and remains one of the largest importers of nitrogen products. China and India are the largest consumers of nitrogen fertilizer, accounting for approximately 45 percent of the world’s consumption.

Phosphate

Phosphorus is essential to all living things and is key to energy reactions in plants, particularly photosynthesis, and is vital to plant growth. Additionally, phosphate is used as an input in animal feed, food ingredients and industrial processes.

Phosphate rock is found in significant quantity and quality in only a handful of geographic locations, with only 11 major phosphate-producing countries. Due to the concentration of deposits, the majority of recent capacity additions have come from existing producers in North Africa, the Middle East and China.

China is the world’s largest producer of phosphate, and its trade policy has a major impact on the global market. To illustrate, in 2025, Chinese DAP/MAP exports were down approximately 40 percent, compared to normal historical levels as a result of export restrictions that prioritized domestic use.

India and Brazil are the largest importers of phosphate fertilizers, with limited domestic production. In more mature markets like North America, we have seen continued demand growth for phosphate fertilizers that incorporate secondary nutrients and micronutrients like Nutrien’s MAP+MST product.

Market outlook

MARKET OUTLOOK

Agriculture and retail markets

•	Higher global grain and oilseed production in 2025 increased stocks-to-use ratios towards historical average levels and led to significant nutrient removal from the soil. Strong demand for food, feed and biofuel uses is expected to drive continued need for higher<br>global crop production and related crop inputs.
•	We expect total US crop acres in 2026 to be consistent with 2025 levels and project corn plantings of 94 to<br>96 million acres and soybean plantings of 84 to 86 million acres. This acreage outlook, combined with a compressed fertilizer application season in the fall of 2025, is expected to support increased crop input demand in the first half of<br>2026.
---	---
•	In Brazil, soybean production is expected to set another record in 2026, with harvest currently underway, and we<br>anticipate a 3 to 5 percent increase in safrinha corn plantings. Growth in planted area is expected to support crop input demand; however, weaker affordability is expected to result in just-in-time purchases and a continued shift to lower analysis nitrogen and phosphate products.
---	---
•	In Australia, improved weather compared to the first half of 2025 is expected to support crop input demand and strong<br>livestock prices to support sales of Retail products and services.<br>
---	---

Crop nutrient markets

•	Global potash shipments increased to approximately 74.5 million tonnes in 2025, primarily driven by strong demand in<br>Southeast Asia. We expect a fourth consecutive year of growth in 2026, with total global potash shipments ranging between 74 and 77 million tonnes. Demand is supported by the need to replenish soil nutrients following a record crop, favorable<br>relative affordability and low inventory levels in key markets such as China and Brazil. We anticipate relatively tight fundamentals throughout 2026, as trend line demand growth is testing existing global operating and supply chain capabilities.<br>
•	Global nitrogen demand is expected to grow in line with historical rates, driven by increasing use in agricultural growth<br>markets such as Asia and Latin America. Global ammonia markets remain tight due to project delays and plant outages. Global urea markets have strengthened in the first quarter of 2026 due to strong seasonal demand from India, North America and<br>Brazil and geopolitical uncertainties impacting supply.
---	---
•	Global phosphate markets eased in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to lower demand related to weaker affordability relative<br>to potash and nitrogen. Phosphate markets have strengthened in the first quarter of 2026 due to Chinese export restrictions and elevated input costs.<br>

Nutrien Financial

We offer flexible financing solutions to our customers in support of Nutrien’s agricultural product and service sales. Qualifying Retail customers in the US and Australia are offered extended payment terms, typically up to one year, to facilitate the alignment of farmer crop cycles with cash flows. Nutrien Financial revenues are primarily earned through interest from farmers.

We hold a significant portion of receivables from customers that have historically experienced a low-default rate. We manage our credit portfolio based on a combination of review of customer credit metrics, past experience with the customer and exposure to any single customer. Nutrien Financial, which is our wholly owned finance captive, monitors and services the portfolio of our high-quality receivables from customers that have the lowest risk of default among Retail’s receivables from customers. We monitor the results of this portfolio of receivables separately because we calculate the cost of capital attributable to the high-quality receivables from customers differently from our other receivables. Specifically, we assume a debt-to-equity ratio of 9:1 in funding Nutrien Financial receivables, based on the underlying credit quality of the assets.

Nutrien Financial relies on corporate capital for funding. For 2025, we estimated the deemed interest expense using an average borrowing rate of 5.0 percent (2024 — 5.6 percent) applied to the notional debt required to fund the portfolio of receivables from customers monitored and serviced by Nutrien Financial. The balance of our Retail receivables (outside of Nutrien Financial) is subject to marginally higher credit risk.

2025 POTASH OPERATING SEGMENT AND RESULTS

We operate six low-cost potash mines in Saskatchewan, located within a world-class potash deposit and in a stable geopolitical environment, which helps minimize supply risk for our customers. We produce multiple grades of potash and our flexible network provides the operational flexibility to optimize value.

Our extensive North American transportation and distribution network includes approximately 5,600 owned or leased railcars serviced by multiple railway providers. Through Canpotex – our joint venture potash export, sales and marketing company – we have access to four primary North American marine terminals and other facilities as needed to export potash to customers in over 40 countries around the world.

Potash adjusted EBITDA increased to $2.25 billion in 2025 due to higher net selling prices and record sales volumes, supported by strong potash affordability and underlying consumption growth in key offshore markets, and partially offset by higher provincial mining taxes. We delivered a potash controllable cash cost of product manufactured^2^ per tonne of $58. We mined 49 percent of our potash ore tonnes using automation, further strengthening our low-cost advantage.

2025 NITROGEN OPERATING SEGMENT AND RESULTS

We produce and upgrade nitrogen at 11 strategically located facilities in Canada and the US, in addition to our facility in Trinidad. Our North American operations, which account for approximately 85 percent of our nitrogen sales volumes, have access to some of the lowest-cost natural gas in the world and are well positioned to serve agriculture and industrial markets.

We produce a diverse portfolio of nitrogen products and have flexibility to optimize product mix in changing market conditions. Our transportation and distribution network leverages truck, rail, pipeline, barge and marine vessels. We utilize established CCUS infrastructure in Alberta and Louisiana to reduce GHG emissions. Over the last five years, we captured and sold an annual average of 1 million tonnes of CO2, with approximately 40 percent permanently sequestered via enhanced oil recovery.

Nitrogen adjusted EBITDA increased to $2.15 billion in 2025 due to higher net selling prices, partially offset by lower equity earnings from Profertil. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2024 benefitted from insurance recoveries. Total ammonia production increased in 2025, supported by a four-percentage-point improvement in ammonia operating rate (excludes Trinidad and Joffre) as we advanced reliability initiatives across our North American plants and completed low-cost debottlenecks at Redwater and Geismar. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we completed a controlled shutdown of our Trinidad Nitrogen facility due to uncertainty with respect to port access and a lack of reliable and economic gas supply that has reduced the free cash flow contribution of the Trinidad Nitrogen operations over an extended period of time.

2025 PHOSPHATE OPERATING SEGMENT AND RESULTS

Nutrien has two large integrated phosphate production facilities and four regional product upgrade sites in the US. Our high-quality phosphate rock enables production of a diverse mix of phosphate products, including solid and liquid fertilizers, feed and industrial acids. We are the largest producer of purified phosphoric acid in North America and sell the majority of our product in this market, benefiting from our extensive distribution network and customer relationships.

Phosphate adjusted EBITDA slightly decreased to $382 million in 2025 due to higher sulfur input costs and lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher net selling prices. In the third quarter of 2025, we initiated a review of strategic alternatives for our Phosphate business, which could include reconfiguring operations, strategic partnerships or a potential sale, and we intend to solidify the optimal path in 2026.

We do not depend on repatriation of cash from our foreign subsidiaries to meet our liquidity and capital resource needs in North America.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and uses of liquidity

Liquidity risk arises from our general funding needs and in the management of our assets, liabilities and capital structure. We manage liquidity risk to maintain sufficient liquid financial resources to fund our financial position and meet our commitments and obligations in a cost-effective manner. Our primary sources of liquidity in 2025 and our expected ongoing primary uses of liquidity are listed below:

Primary uses of liquidity	Primary sources of liquidity
–<br><br>seasonal working capital<br>requirements<br><br>–<br><br>operational expenses<br><br>–<br><br>capital expenditures to sustain our<br>assets to support safe and reliable operations<br><br>–<br><br>high-value growth<br>opportunities<br><br>–<br><br>shareholder returns through **** dividends and/or share<br>repurchases<br><br>–<br><br>principal payments of debt securities	–<br><br>cash from operations (including customer<br>prepayments)<br><br>–<br><br>commercial paper issuances<br><br>–<br><br>increase of credit facility limits and<br>drawdowns<br><br>–<br><br>debt capital markets<br><br>–<br><br>supplier financing<br>arrangements

We believe that our internally generated cash flow, supplemented by available borrowings under new or existing financing sources, if necessary, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital expenditures, planned growth and development activities, and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future. We do not reasonably expect any presently known trend or uncertainty to affect our ability to access our historical sources of liquidity.

Cash requirements

The following aggregated information about our contractual obligations and other commitments summarizes our liquidity and capital resource requirements as at December 31, 2025. Commitments reflect the estimated cash outflows for these obligations.

The information presented in the table above does not include planned cash outflows unless they are legally committed for capital expenditures, business acquisitions or shareholder returns, including share repurchases and dividends. In addition to the commitments included above, we have other obligations for goods and services as part of our normal operations, which may terminate on short notice, including purchase commitments for crop input products.

For information on pension and other post-retirement benefits funding, refer to Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements. Future cash requirements are subject to changes in regulations, actuarial assumptions and our expected operating results.

On February 18, 2026, our Board approved a share repurchase program of up to a maximum of 24,057,066 common shares, representing 5 percent of Nutrien’s outstanding common shares. The 2026 normal course issuer bid will commence on March 3, 2026. The share repurchase program will expire on the earlier of March 2, 2027, the date on which we have acquired the maximum number of common shares allowable or the date we determine not to make any further repurchases.

On February 18, 2026, our Board of Directors declared and increased our quarterly dividend to $0.55 per share payable on April 16, 2026, to shareholders of record on March 31, 2026. The total estimated dividend to be paid is $265 million.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT

We manage our capital structure with a focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet, enabling a strong investment-grade credit rating.

Principal debt instruments

As part of the normal course of business, we closely monitor our liquidity position. We use a combination of cash generated from operations and short-term and long-term debt to finance our operations. We continually evaluate various financing arrangements and may seek to engage in transactions from time to time when market and other conditions are favorable.

Capital structure (debt and equity)

Shareholders’ equity	25,365	24,442

All values are in US Dollars.

Senior Notes and Debentures

As at December 31, 2025, our long-term debt consisted primarily of senior notes and debentures with the following maturities and interest rates:

All values are in US Dollars.

The senior notes issued in 2025 are unsecured, rank equally with our existing unsecured debt, and have no sinking fund requirements prior to maturity. Each series is redeemable and has various provisions for redemption prior to maturity, at our option, at specified prices.

Credit facilities and other debt

We have several available credit facilities in the jurisdictions where we operate. We have a commercial paper program, which is limited to the undrawn amount under our $4,500 million unsecured revolving term credit facility. In 2025, our total facility limit decreased $250 million from a reduction in our unsecured committed revolving term facility. As at December 31, 2025, we had a $399 million outstanding balance in commercial paper. Any excess cash is invested in highly liquid securities.

As at December 31, 2025, $234 million in letters of credit were outstanding and committed, with $250 million of remaining credit available under our dedicated letter of credit facilities.

LOGO

Lease obligations

We have lease obligations totaling $1,283 million (including current portion) with a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.9 percent as at December 31, 2025.

Debt covenants

Our credit facilities have financial tests and other covenants with which we must comply at each quarter-end. Non-compliance with any such covenants could result in accelerated payment of amounts borrowed and termination of lenders’ further funding obligations under the credit facilities. We were in compliance with all covenants as at December 31, 2025.

The table below summarizes the limit and result of our key financial covenant:

Credit ratings

Our ability to access reasonably priced debt in the capital markets depends, in part, on the quality of our credit ratings. We continue to maintain investment-grade credit ratings for our long-term debt. A downgrade of the credit rating of our long-term debt could increase the interest rates applicable to borrowings under our credit facilities.

Commercial paper markets are generally a source of same-day cash. Our access to the US commercial paper market primarily depends on maintaining our current short-term credit ratings as well as general conditions in the money markets.

	Long-term debt rating (outlook)						Short-term debt rating
As at December 31	2025			2024			2025		2024
Moody’s		Baa2 (stable	)		Baa2 (stable	)		P-2		P-2
S&P		BBB (stable	)		BBB (stable	)		A-2		A-2

A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. The ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the respective credit rating agency and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Moody’s stable outlook on Nutrien’s credit rating means that there is a low likelihood of a rating change over the medium term. S&P’s stable outlook on Nutrien’s credit rating means that the rating is not likely to change (generally up to two years).

Results

Highlights of our 2025 fourth quarter compared to the 2024 fourth quarter results were as follows:

	Q4 2025 versus Q4 2024
Retail	Retail adjusted EBITDA decreased as prior period benefited from income items,<br>most notably $25 million gain on sale of land in Argentina.<br> <br><br> <br>Crop nutrients sales<br>and gross margin decreased due to lower sales volumes from a weather-shortened fall application window in the US and reduced demand for phosphate, partially offset by higher proprietary products gross margin. International crop nutrient sales<br>volumes were lower mainly due to strategic actions in South America.<br> <br><br> <br>Crop protectionproducts sales and gross margin were lower due to product mix shifts in North America and dry conditions in Australia, partially offset by higher proprietary products gross margin.<br><br><br><br> <br>Seed sales and gross margin were lower due to weather related impacts in the Southern US<br>leading to fewer planted acres which impacted proprietary products gross margin.
Potash	Potash adjusted EBITDA increased due to higher net selling prices and higher<br>sales volumes, partially offset by higher provincial mining taxes.<br> <br><br> <br>Sales volumes were<br>higher due to higher offshore sales volumes supported by strong potash affordability and underlying consumption growth in key offshore markets. North America sales volumes were consistent with the prior year.<br><br><br><br> <br>Net selling price per tonne increased due to higher global benchmark prices.<br><br><br><br> <br>Cost of goods sold per tonne increased primarily due to higher royalties and maintenance<br>costs.
Nitrogen	Nitrogen adjusted EBITDA increased due to higher net selling prices, partially<br>offset by lower equity earnings from Profertil.<br> <br><br> <br>Sales volumes decreased due to the<br>previously announced controlled shutdown of our Trinidad facility on October 23, 2025 and planned turnarounds at our North American operations.<br> <br><br><br><br>Net selling price per tonne was higher for all major nitrogen products due to stronger benchmark prices.<br><br><br><br> <br>Cost of goods sold per tonne decreased due to a higher percentage of sales coming from our<br>low-cost North American nitrogen plants.
Phosphate	Phosphate adjusted EBITDA increased due to higher net selling prices and sales<br>volumes, partially offset by higher sulfur input costs.<br> <br><br> <br>Sales volumes were higher due to<br>higher production from reliability improvements and weather-related events that impacted the fourth quarter of 2024 production volumes, partially offset by reduced demand for phosphate.<br><br><br><br> <br>Net selling price per tonne increased due to the strength of fertilizer benchmark<br>prices.<br> <br><br> <br>Cost of goods sold per tonne increased primarily due to higher sulfur input<br>costs.
Other fourth quarter financial highlights	Share-based compensation expense was higher in the fourth quarter and full year<br>of 2025 due to an increase in the fair value of our share-based awards. The fair value of our share-based awards takes into consideration several factors, such as our share price movement, our performance relative to our peer group and our return on<br>invested capital.<br> <br><br> <br>Gain on sale of investment was higher due to the sale of our<br>50 percent equity ownership in Profertil.<br> <br><br> <br>Income tax increased mainly due to higher<br>earnings. The decrease in the actual effective tax rate is mainly due to the tax impact of the gain on sale of investment in Profertil.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Nutrien in its annual filings, interim filings (as these terms are defined in National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”)), and other reports filed or submitted by us under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the annual filings, being December 31, 2025, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Nutrien in its annual filings, interim filings, or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the securities legislation, and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Internal control over financial reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and NI 52-109. ICFR is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Any system of ICFR, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, oversees management’s responsibilities for financial reporting and internal controls.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have designed ICFR based on the framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) and conducted an evaluation of the design and effectiveness of our ICFR as of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as at December 31, 2025, Nutrien maintained effective internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes during the year ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by KPMG LLP, as reflected in their Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2025, which is included in this 2025 Annual Report.

APPENDICES

Non-GAAP financial measures

We use both IFRS measures and certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures disclosed by the Company that: (a) depict historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of the Company; (b) with respect to their composition, exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the Company; (c) are not disclosed in the financial statements of the Company; and (d) are not a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation. Non-GAAP ratios are financial measures disclosed by the Company that are in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation that has a non-GAAP financial measure as one or more of its components, and that are not disclosed in the financial statements of the Company.

These non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other companies. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide transparent and useful supplemental information to help investors evaluate our financial performance, financial condition and liquidity using the same measures as management. These non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The following section outlines our non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, their compositions, and why management uses each measure. It also includes reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Except as otherwise described herein, our non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are calculated on a consistent basis from period to period and are adjusted for specific items in each period, as applicable. As additional non-recurring or unusual items arise in the future, we generally exclude these items in our calculations.

AdjustedEBITDA (consolidated)

Most directly comparable IFRS financial measure: Net earnings (loss).

Definition: Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net earnings (loss) before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and certain foreign exchange gain/loss (net of related derivatives). We also adjust this measure for the following other income and expenses that are excluded when management evaluates the performance of our day-to-day operations: integration and restructuring related costs, impairment or reversal of impairment of assets, gain or loss on disposal of certain businesses and investments, asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) and accrued environmental costs (“ERL”) related to our non-operating sites, and loss related to financial instruments in Argentina.

Why we use the measure and why it is useful to investors: It is not impacted by long-term investment and financing decisions, but rather focuses on the performance of our day-to-day operations. It provides a measure of our ability to service debt and to meet other payment obligations and as a component of employee remuneration calculations.

Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share

Most directly comparable IFRS financial measure: Net earnings (loss) and diluted net earnings (loss) per share.

Definition: Adjusted net earnings and related per share information are calculated as net earnings (loss) before share-based compensation and certain foreign exchange gain/loss (net of related derivatives), net of tax. We also adjust this measure for the following other income and expenses (net of tax) that are excluded when management evaluates the performance of our day-to-day operations: certain integration and restructuring related costs, impairment or reversal of impairment of assets, gain or loss on disposal of certain businesses and investments, gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt or on settlement of derivatives due to discontinuance of hedge accounting, ARO and accrued ERL related to our non-operating sites, loss related to financial instruments in Argentina, change in recognition of tax losses and deductible temporary differences related to impairments and certain changes to tax declarations. We generally apply the annual forecasted effective tax rate to specific adjustments during the year, and at year-end, we apply the actual effective tax rate.

**Why we use the measure and why it is useful to investors:**Focuses on the performance of our day-to-day operations and is used as a component of employee remuneration calculations.

Effective tax rate on adjusted net earnings

Effective tax rate on adjusted net earnings guidance is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure as it includes adjusted net earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is provided to assist readers in understanding our expected financial results. Effective tax rate on adjusted net earnings guidance excludes certain items that management is aware of that permit management to focus on the performance of our operations (see the Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings Per Share section for items generally adjusted). We do not provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking measure to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS because a meaningful or accurate calculation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort due to unknown variables, including the timing and amount of certain reconciling items, and the uncertainty related to future results. These unknown variables may include unpredictable transactions of significant value that may be inherently difficult to determine without unreasonable efforts. The probable significance of such unavailable information, which could be material to future results, cannot be addressed.

Effective tax rate on adjusted net earnings ratio is calculated as adjusted income tax expense divided by adjusted earnings before income taxes. We use this measure to provide the actual result for a previously disclosed forward-looking effective tax rate on adjusted net earnings guidance.

Free cash flow

Most directly comparable IFRS financial measure: Cash provided by operating activities.

Definition: Free cash flow is calculated as cash provided by operating activities less sustaining capital expenditures, mine development and pre-stripping capital expenditures, and repayment of the principal portion of lease liabilities.

Why we use the measure and whyit is useful to investors: To assess our operational performance and evaluate our ability to create long-term value by funding activities that include dividend payments, investing capital, debt repayment and share repurchases.

Return on invested capital (“ROIC”)

Definition: ROIC is calculated as net operating profit after taxes divided by the average invested capital for the last four rolling quarters.

Net operating profit after taxes, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as earnings before finance costs and income taxes, depreciation and amortization related to the fair value adjustments as a result of the Merger (the merger of equals transaction between PotashCorp and Agrium), share-based compensation, and certain foreign exchange gain/loss (net of related derivatives) and Nutrien Financial earnings before finance costs and income taxes. The most directly comparable IFRS financial measure to net operating profit after taxes is earnings before finance costs and income taxes. We also adjust this measure for the following other income and expenses that are excluded when management evaluates the performance of our day-to-day operations: integration and restructuring related costs, impairment or reversal of impairment of assets, and gain or loss on disposal of certain businesses and investments. A tax rate of 25 percent is applied on the calculated amount.

Invested capital is calculated as last four rolling quarter average of total assets less cash and cash equivalents; payables and accrued charges; Merger fair value adjustments on goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment; and average Nutrien Financial working capital.

We exclude in our calculations the related financial information of certain acquisitions during the first year following the acquisition.

Why we use the measure and why it is useful toinvestors: ROIC provides useful information to evaluate how efficiently we allocate our capital and is used as a component of employee remuneration calculations.

Retail adjusted EBITDA margin: Retail adjusted EBITDA divided by Retail sales for the last four rolling quarters.

Sustaining capital expenditures: Represents capital expenditures that are required to sustain operations at existing levels and include major repairs and maintenance and plant turnarounds.

Investing capital expenditures: Represents capital expenditures related to significant expansions of current operations or to create cost savings (synergies). Investing capital expenditures excludes capital outlays for business acquisitions and equity-accounted investees.

Minedevelopment and pre-stripping capital expenditures: Represents capital expenditures that are required for activities to open new areas underground and/or develop a mine or ore body to allow for future production mining and activities required to prepare and/or access the ore, i.e., removal of an overburden that allows access to the ore.

Cash used for dividendsand share repurchases: Calculated as dividends paid to Nutrien’s shareholders plus repurchase of common shares as reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows. This measure is useful as it represents return of cash to shareholders.

Capital management measures

Capital management measures are financial measures disclosed by the Company that: (a) are intended to enable an individual to evaluate the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing the Company’s capital; (b) are not a component of a line item disclosed in the primary financial statements of the Company; (c) are disclosed in the notes of the financial statements of the Company; and (d) are not disclosed in the primary financial statements of the Company.

The following section outlines our capital management measure, its composition and why management uses the measure.

Adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA: Calculated as adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. This ratio measures financial leverage and our ability to pay our debt.

The most directly comparable measure for adjusted net debt is total short-term and long-term debt and lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and is defined as the total of short-term and long-term debt plus lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and unamortized fair value adjustments. This measure is useful as it adjusts for the unamortized fair value adjustments that arose at the time of the Merger and is non-cash in nature.

As discussed in the “Governance” section, our ELT is responsible for ensuring<br>that our principal risks, including financial risks, are being appropriately identified, assessed and addressed.

Material accounting policies and Critical accounting estimates

Nutrien’s material accounting policies are described in Note 28 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Critical accounting estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, which requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates in applying accounting policies. Critical accounting estimates are those which are highly uncertain at the time they are made or where different estimates would be reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We have discussed the development, selection and application of our key accounting policies, and the critical accounting estimates and assumptions they involve, with the Audit Committee of the Board.

Refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on the following critical accounting estimates including methodology used for calculating our estimates (when applicable), key assumptions used, and factors considered in our estimates and judgments.

Consolidated<br><br><br>financial<br> <br>statements<br><br><br>note reference			Critical accounting estimate description
Notes 14 and 27			Long-lived asset impairments and reversals<br><br><br><br> <br>We review our assets, at each reporting period, for conditions to determine whether there is any<br>indication that an impairment exists that could potentially impact the carrying amount of our long-lived assets to be held and used. When such indicators exist, impairment testing is performed. We review, at each reporting period, for possible<br>reversal of the impairment for non-financial assets, other than goodwill.

Notes 14, 15 and 27			Goodwill impairment analysis<br><br><br><br> <br>We test our operating segments that have goodwill allocated to them when events or circumstances<br>indicate that there could be an impairment, or at least annually on October 1. Goodwill is more susceptible to impairment risk if business operating results or economic conditions deteriorate and we anticipate not meeting our forecasts. The key<br>assumptions with the greatest influence on the calculation of the recoverable amounts are the discount rates, terminal growth rates and forecasted EBITDA. The key forecast assumptions are based on historical data and our estimates of future results<br>from internal sources considering industry and market information. Key assumptions in our testing models may change, and changes that could reasonably be expected to occur may cause impairment. Such change in assumptions could be driven by global<br>supply and demand, other market factors, changes in regulations, and other future events outside our control. Refer to note 14 of the consolidated financial statements for sensitivity analysis.
Notes 22 and 27			Asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) and accrued environmental costs (“ERLs”)– measurement<br> <br><br> <br>AROs and ERLs have a high degree of estimation uncertainty for future<br>costs and estimated remediation timelines. The Potash and Phosphate segments have AROs and ERLs associated with their mining operations while the Corporate and Others segment has these liabilities for any<br>non-operational sites. Refer to note 22 of the consolidated financial statements for sensitivity analysis.<br> <br><br><br><br>For the Nitrogen segment, there are no significant AROs recorded as there is no reasonable basis for estimating a date or range of dates for cessation of operations. We<br>considered the historical performance of our facilities as well as our planned maintenance, major upgrades and replacements, which can extend the useful lives beyond the foreseeable future.

Standards, amendments and interpretations effective and applied

The IASB and IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) have issued certain standards and amendments or interpretations to existing standards that were effective, and we have applied.

In 2025, we adopted the following standards, amendments and annual improvements with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements:

–	Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21)

Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective and not applied

The IASB and IFRIC have issued the following standards, amendments or interpretations to existing standards that were not yet effective and not applied as at December 31, 2025.

The following amendments will be adopted in 2026 and are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements:

–	Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7), effective January 1, 2026.<br>

Based on our adoption work to date, we expect liabilities settled by cheque to be derecognized when the cheque is cleared and settled with the counterpart’s bank, instead of when the cheque is written. This change will affect the timing of derecognition for certain trade and other payables but is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The following standard is being reviewed to determine the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements:

–

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18), effective January 1, 2027. In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The new standard will require classification of income and expenses into specified categories of operating, investing and financing. The standard will also require defined subtotals including operating profit, and note disclosures including our management-defined performance measures (“MPMs”). The new standard also provides guidance on aggregation and disaggregation of disclosures.

We will continue to assess the full impact of IFRS 18 and disclose any significant updates as our implementation progresses.

Management’s responsibility

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FORFINANCIAL REPORTING

Management’s report on the consolidated financial statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related financial information are the responsibility of the management of Nutrien Ltd. (the “Company”). They have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and include amounts based on estimates and judgments. Financial information included elsewhere in this report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements are approved by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, is composed entirely of independent directors. The Audit Committee discusses and analyzes the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) with management before such information is approved by the committee and submitted to securities commissions or other regulatory authorities. The Audit Committee and management also analyze the annual consolidated financial statements and MD&A prior to their approval by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, oversees management’s responsibilities for financial reporting and internal controls. The Audit Committee’s duties also include reviewing critical accounting policies and significant estimates and judgments underlying the consolidated financial statements as presented by management and approving the fees of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, performs an audit of the consolidated financial statements, the results of which are reflected in their Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2025. KPMG LLP has full and independent access to the Audit Committee to discuss their audit and related matters.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings. Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

Under our supervision and with the participation of management, the Company conducted an evaluation of the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as at the end of the fiscal year covered by this report, based on the framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that, as at December 31, 2025, the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in our ICFR during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our ICFR.

Auditor’s Report

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLICACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Nutrien Ltd.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Nutrien Ltd.’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 19, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Auditor’s Report

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Nutrien Ltd.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nutrien Ltd. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 19, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill Impairment Assessment of the Retail North America Group of Cash-Generating Units

As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2025 was $12,136 million, of which $7,006 million of goodwill is attributed to the Retail North America group of cash-generating units (“Retail North America CGU”). The Retail North America CGU is tested for impairment annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances may indicate the carrying amount, including goodwill, exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The calculation of the recoverable amount of the Retail North America CGU involved estimates including the forecasted net earnings before finance costs, income taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), terminal growth rate and discount rate.

We identified the calculation of the recoverable amount of goodwill for the Retail North America CGU as of October 1, 2025 as a critical audit matter. A high degree of auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Company’s forecasted EBITDA, terminal growth rate and discount rate used to calculate the recoverable amount of the Retail North America CGU. Minor changes to these assumptions could have had a significant effect on the Company’s calculation of the recoverable amount of the Retail North America CGU. Additionally, the audit effort associated with this estimate required specialized skills and knowledge.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the calculation of the recoverable amount of goodwill for the Retail North America CGU. This included controls related to the determination of the forecasted EBITDA, terminal growth rate and discount rate. We evaluated the Company’s forecasted EBITDA for the Retail North America CGU by comparing it to historical results taking into account changes in conditions and events affecting the Company. We evaluated the terminal growth rate by comparing it to the historical growth of the Retail North America CGU and to market information, including forecasted inflation and forecasted gross domestic product in the United States. We assessed the Company’s ability to accurately forecast EBITDA by comparing historical forecasts of EBITDA to actual results. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:

–	evaluating the Company’s determination of the discount rate by comparing the inputs to the discount rate to publicly<br>available market data and assessing the resulting discount rate, and
–	evaluating the Company’s estimate of the recoverable amount of the Retail North America CGU by comparing the results<br>of the Company’s estimate to publicly available market data and valuation metrics for comparable entities.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALSTATEMENTS

General information

Note 1 | Description of business ****

Nutrien Ltd. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Nutrien”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “the Company”) is a leading global provider of crop inputs and services. We operate a world-class network of production, distribution and ag retail facilities that positions us to efficiently serve the needs of farmers.

The Company is a corporation organized under the laws of Canada with its registered head office located at Suite 1700, 211 19th Street East, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, S7K 5R6.

Our business operations are further categorized into upstream, midstream and downstream through our involvement across the agriculture value chain.


Upstream	This is comprised of our low-cost production assets including mining and manufacturing of essential crop nutrients needed for fertilizer production, such as potash,<br>nitrogen and phosphate.
Potash	–<br><br>6 operations in the province of<br>Saskatchewan<br><br>–<br><br>investment in Canpotex Limited (“Canpotex”), a Canadian potash export, sales and marketing company owned in equal shares by Nutrien and another<br>potash producer
Nitrogen	–<br><br>11 production and upgrade facilities in<br>North America<br><br>–<br><br>1 facility in Trinidad^1^
Phosphate	–<br><br>2 mines and processing plants: 1 in<br>Florida and 1 in North Carolina<br><br>–<br><br>phosphate feed plants in Illinois,<br>Missouri and Nebraska<br><br>–<br><br>1 industrial phosphoric acid plant in<br>Ohio
Midstream	This includes our global logistics and distribution network that facilitates our ability to efficiently and reliably sell and transport products from our facilities to<br>our customers and downstream retail locations.
Downstream	We operate one of the largest global agriculture retail networks, allowing us to deliver crop inputs and services directly to farmers.
1	Our Trinidad Nitrogen operations remain in a controlled shutdown as we continue to assess options to enhance its long-term<br>financial performance.
---	---

Our Corporate function provides support and governance to the above business activities, as well as our non-core businesses.

Note 2 | Basis of presentation ****

We prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). We have consistently applied the same accounting policies throughout all periods presented, as if these policies had always been in effect, with the exception of the accounting standards adopted effective January 1, 2025, as disclosed in Note 28. These consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated, which is the functional currency of Nutrien and the majority of its subsidiaries.

Certain immaterial 2024 figures have been reclassified in Note 3 Segment information.

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 19, 2026.

Sensitivity analyses included throughout the notes should be used with caution as the changes are hypothetical and not reflective of future performance. The sensitivities have been calculated independently of changes in other key variables. We prepared these consolidated financial statements under the historical cost basis, except for items that IFRS requires to be measured at fair value. Reference to n/a indicates information is not applicable.

Segment operations and management

Note 3 | **** Segment information ****

We have four reportable operating segments: Retail, Potash, Nitrogen and Phosphate. Our downstream Retail segment distributes crop nutrients, crop protection products, seed and merchandise, and provides agronomic application services and solutions, including the services offered through Nutrien Financial. Retail also manufactures and distributes proprietary products and provides services directly to farmers through a network of retail locations in North America, South America and Australia. Our upstream Potash, Nitrogen and Phosphate segments are differentiated by the chemical nutrient contained in the products that each segment produces and are supported by midstream activities, which include the global sales, freight, transportation and distribution of our products, which are reported within these segments, respectively. Sales reported under our Corporate and Others segment relate to our non-core businesses.

Our Executive Leadership Team (“ELT”), which is comprised of officers at the Executive Vice President level and above, is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). Our CODM uses adjusted EBITDA, calculated as below, to measure performance and allocate resources to the operating segments. Our CODM considers adjusted EBITDA to be a meaningful measure because it is not impacted by long-term investment and financing decisions, but rather focuses on the performance of our day-to-day operations. In addition, it excludes the impact of impairments and other costs that are centrally managed by our corporate function.

In 2025, the CODM reassessed our product groupings and determined that the performance of our Purchase for Resale business should be evaluated as part of the Corporate and Others segment. It had previously been recorded in our Nitrogen segment. The Purchase for Resale business focuses primarily on sales to international customers. Purchased product that remains in upstream is primarily purchases of inventory to satisfy sales contracts that we cannot fulfill with our manufactured products. The CODM concluded this change was appropriate based on the nature and strategic alignment of purchase for resale activities. Comparative amounts for the Corporate and Others and Nitrogen segments were reclassified. As a result of the reclassification, the Corporate and Others segment reflected the following increases and the Nitrogen segment reflected the corresponding decreases for the year ended December 31, 2024.

		2024
Sales			173
Gross Margin			8
EBITDA			4

We determine the composition of the reportable segments based on factors including risks and returns, internal organization and internal reports reviewed by the CODM. We allocate certain expenses across segments based on reasonable considerations such as production capabilities or historical trends.

Note 4 | Capital management ****

Our capital allocation policy prioritizes safe and reliable operations, a strong and flexible balance sheet, return of capital to shareholders through a combination of stable and growing dividends and share repurchases, and a strategy to allocate remaining cash flow to high-value growth opportunities. We monitor our capital structure and based on changes in economic conditions, may adjust allocation of capital accordingly.

We have access to the capital markets through our base shelf prospectus discussed further below. We use a combination of short-term and long-term debt to finance our operations. We typically pay floating rates of interest on short-term debt and credit facilities, and fixed rates on senior notes and debentures.

We include adjusted total debt and shareholders’ equity as components of our capital structure. We monitor the following measures to evaluate our ability to service debt, make strategic investments and ensure we are in compliance with our debt covenants:


Adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA	1.8	2.2

In 2024, we filed a base shelf prospectus in Canada and the US qualifying the issuance of common shares, debt securities and other securities during a period of 25 months from March 22, 2024. In 2025 and 2024, we issued senior notes of $1.0 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, pursuant to the base shelf prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. Refer to Note 19 for details.

Note 5 | Financial instruments and related risk management ****

Our ELT, along with the Board of Directors (including Board committees), is responsible for monitoring our risk exposures and managing our policies to address these risks. Our strategic and risk management processes are integrated to ensure we understand the benefit from the relationship between strategy, risk and value creation. Outlined below are our risk management strategies we have developed to mitigate the financial market risks that we are exposed to.

Credit risk		Risk management strategies
Receivables from customers		– establish credit<br>approval policies and procedures for new and existing customers<br> <br>– extend credit to qualified<br>customers through:<br> <br>– review of credit agency reports, financial statements and/or credit<br>references, as available<br> <br>– review of existing customer accounts every 12 to 24 months based on the<br>credit limit amounts<br><br>–<br><br>evaluation of<br>customer and country risk for international customers<br> <br>– establish credit<br>period:<br><br>–<br><br>15 and 30 days for<br>wholesale fertilizer customers<br><br>–<br><br>30 days for<br>industrial and feed customers<br><br>–<br><br>30 to 360 days for<br>Retail customers, including Nutrien Financial<br><br>–<br><br>up to 180 days for<br>select export sales customers, including Canpotex<br> <br>– transact on a cash basis with<br>certain customers who may not meet specified benchmark creditworthiness or cannot provide other evidence of ability to pay<br><br><br>– execute agency arrangements with financial institutions or other partners with which we have only a<br>limited recourse involvement<br> <br>– sell receivables to financial institutions which substantially<br>transfer the risks and rewards<br> <br>– set eligibility requirements to limit the risk of the<br>receivables<br> <br>– may require security over certain crop or livestock inventories<br><br><br>– set up provision using the lifetime expected credit loss method considering all possible default<br>events over the expected life of a financial instrument. Receivables are grouped based on days past due and/or customer credit risk profile. Estimated losses on receivables are based on known troubled accounts and historical experience of losses<br>incurred. Receivables are considered to be in default and written off against the allowance when it is probable that all remaining contractual payments due will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Cash and cash equivalents and other receivables		–<br><br>require acceptable minimum counterparty<br>credit ratings<br><br>–<br><br>limit counterparty or credit exposure<br><br>–<br><br>select counterparties with<br>investment-grade quality

Supplier financing arrangements

We enter into contractual arrangements whereby we advance payment to suppliers under inventory prepayment programs to secure product discounts on future inventory purchases. Under these arrangements, we may use financial institutions to remit payment directly to the supplier in accordance with the contractual payment terms. We classify the obligations under these arrangements within trade, other payables and accrued liabilities as the settlement with the financial institution occurs within the normal payment terms with the supplier.

Carrying amounts of liabilities under supplier financing arrangements, presented within trade, other payables and accrued liabilities, were $2,888 at December 31, 2025 (2024 – $2,710), of which amounts remitted to suppliers were $2,888 (2024 – $2,710).

The amounts payable to the financial institution are due within 50 days from the date of payment to the supplier. Our normal payment terms for trade and other payables that are not part of supplier financing arrangements are 60 days from invoice date. The associated payments of amounts classified within trade, other payables and accrued liabilities are included in cash provided by operating activities within the Consolidated statements of cash flows.

In 2024, we entered into various foreign currency derivative contracts. The losses on our foreign currency derivatives were primarily related to Brazil, which matured in July 2024. As of December 31, 2024, outstanding derivative contracts were related to our ongoing risk management strategy.

The fair value of our net foreign exchange currency derivative assets (liabilities) as at December 31, 2025 was $11 million (December 31, 2024 – $(13) million). The following table presents the significant foreign currency derivatives that existed as at December 31:

Fair value

Financial instruments at fair value		Fair value method and associated level within the fair value hierarchy
Cash and cash equivalents		Carrying amount (approximation to fair value assumed due to short-term nature)
Equity securities		Closing bid price of the common shares (Level 1) as at the balance sheet date
Debt securities		Closing bid price of the debt or other instruments with similar terms and credit risk (Level 2) as at the balance sheet date
Foreign exchange forward contracts, swaps and options, and natural gas swaps not traded in an active market		Based on quoted forward exchange rates or a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model. Inputs included contractual cash flows based on prices for natural gas futures<br>contracts, fixed prices and notional volumes specified by the swap contracts, the time value of money, liquidity risk, our own credit risk (related to instruments in a liability position) and counterparty credit risk (related to instruments in an<br>asset position). Futures contract prices used as inputs in the model were supported by prices quoted in an active market and therefore categorized in Level 2.
Financial instruments at amortized cost		Fair value method
Receivables, short-term debt, and trade, other payables and accrued liabilities		Carrying amount (approximation to fair value assumed due to short-term nature)
Long-term debt		Quoted market prices (Level 1 or 2 depending on the market liquidity of the debt), for fair value disclosure purposes
Other long-term debt instruments		Carrying amount (approximation to fair value)

The following table presents our fair value hierarchy for financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis or measured at amortized cost and require fair value disclosure. The table does not include fair value information for financial instruments that are measured using their carrying amount as a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Unused federal capital losses	722	Indefinite
Unused investment tax credits	11	2030 - 2044

The unused tax losses and credits with no expiry dates can be carried forward indefinitely. As at December 31, 2025, we had $2,895 million of federal tax losses and deductible temporary differences for which we did not recognize deferred tax assets.

We have determined that it is probable that all recognized deferred tax assets will be realized through a combination of future reversals of temporary differences and taxable income.

We did not recognize deferred tax liabilities related to temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and equity-accounted investees amounting to $8,575 million as at December 31, 2025 (2024 – $7,644 million).

Notes

Qualifying receivables from customers financed by Nutrien Financial represent high-quality receivables from customers that have been rated very low to low risk of default among Retail’s receivables from customers.

Customer credit with a financial institution of $425 million as at December 31, 2025, related to our agency agreement, is not recognized in our consolidated balance sheets. Through the agency agreement, we only have a limited recourse involvement to the extent of an indemnification of the financial institution to a maximum of 5 percent (2024 – 5 percent) of the qualified customer loans. Historical indemnification losses on this arrangement have been negligible, and the average aging of the customer loans with the financial institution is current.

Impairment of assets

For each cash generating unit (“CGU”) or groups of CGUs in which we complete an impairment analysis, the recoverable amount estimate used the following key assumptions: our forecasted EBITDA, discount rate, long-term growth rate and recoverable market value. For our Phosphate CGU, we also estimate the end of expected mine lives. We used key assumptions that were based on historical data and estimates of future results from internal sources, independent third-party price benchmarks, and mineral reserve and resource technical reports (relating to our Phosphate CGU), as well as industry and market information.

In 2024, we recorded the following non-cash impairment of assets in the consolidated statements of earnings:

Segment	Category
Retail	Intangible assets	200
	Property, plant and equipment	120
	Other	15
Nitrogen	Property, plant and equipment	195
Impairment of assets		530

Nitrogen

In 2025, circumstances within our Trinidad cash generating unit (CGU) presented an indicator of impairment. On October 23, 2025, the Trinidad nitrogen facility completed a controlled shutdown in response to port access restrictions imposed by Trinidad and Tobago’s National Energy Corporation and a lack of reliable and economic natural gas supply. As a result, we performed impairment testing on our Trinidad CGU, part of our Nitrogen segment. No impairment was recognized, as the recoverable amount of the Trinidad CGU exceeded its carrying amount. The recoverable amount was determined using a fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”) methodology. The valuation was based on post-tax discounted cash flows using a 10-year projection and a 2.0% terminal growth rate discounted at a post-tax rate of 11.8%.

In 2024, we decided that we are no longer pursuing our Geismar Clean Ammonia project. As a result, we recorded an impairment loss of $195 million to fully write off the amount of property, plant and equipment related to this project. As the project was cancelled before it generated revenue, the recoverable amount, which was based on its value in use was $nil.

Retail – Brazil

In 2024, we recorded an impairment loss of $335 million on our Retail – Brazil CGU due to a decrease in our forecasted EBITDA as a result of ongoing market instability and more moderate margin expectations. Of the total impairment amount recognized, $120 million related to the impairment of property, plant and equipment and $215 million related to intangible and other assets within the CGU.

Goodwill impairment testing

Goodwill by CGU or group of CGUs at December 31
Retail – North America	7,006	6,961
Retail – Australia	587	539
Potash	154	154
Nitrogen	4,389	4,389
	12,136	12,043

We performed our annual impairment test on goodwill and did not identify any impairment.

In testing for impairment of goodwill, we calculate the recoverable amount for a CGU or groups of CGUs containing goodwill. We used the FVLCD methodology based on post-tax discounted cash flows (five-year or 10-year projections plus a terminal value) and incorporated assumptions an independent market participant would apply. We adjusted discount rates for each CGU or group of CGUs for the risk associated with achieving our forecasts and for the country risk premium in which we expect to generate cash flows. FVLCD is a Level 3 measurement. We use our market capitalization (where applicable) and comparative market multiples to ensure discounted cash flow results are reasonable.

The key assumptions with the greatest influence on the calculation of the recoverable amounts are the discount rates, terminal growth rates and forecasted EBITDA. The key forecast assumptions were based on historical data and our estimates of future results from internal sources considering industry and market information.

Retail – North America CGU

During our performance of our annual impairment test, the Retail – North America group of CGUs recoverable amount exceeded its carrying amount by $2.9 billion. Goodwill is more susceptible to impairment risk if there is an increase in the discount rate or a deterioration in business operating results or economic conditions and actual results do not meet our forecasts. A reduction in the terminal growth rate, an increase in the discount rate or a decrease in forecasted EBITDA could cause impairment in the future, as shown in the table below.

2025 Annual impairment testing
Terminal growth rate (%)	2.3	1.8 Percentage point decrease
Discount rate1 (%)	7.7	1.2 Percentage point increase
Forecasted EBITDA over forecast period (<br>millions)	8,500	12 Percent decrease

All values are in US Dollars.

1	The discount rate used in the previous measurement at October 1, 2024 was 7.3 percent.

Retail – Australia, Potash, and Nitrogen CGUs

The following table indicates the key assumptions used in testing the remaining groups of CGUs:

We continuously assess our ability to exercise significant influence or joint control over our investments.

Equity-accounted investees

In 2025, as part of our strategic priority to simplify and focus, we entered into an agreement to sell our 50 percent equity ownership in Profertil, which had been classified as an equity-accounted investment. A deposit of $120 million was received from the purchaser on September 5, 2025. The sale closed on December 10, 2025 resulting in gross proceeds of $595 million and a gain of $301 million recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings within our Corporate and Others segment. This gain reflects the difference between the net proceeds and the carrying amount of the investment at the date of sale. The buyer remitted the applicable withholding tax on behalf of Nutrien, resulting in a $60 million non-cash transaction.

Investments at fair value through other comprehensive income

In 2025, as part of our strategic priority to simplify and focus, we fully divested our remaining equity ownership interest in Sinofert, which had been classified as a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Gross proceeds from the sale were $193 million and reflected the fair value of the investment at the date of derecognition. A fair value loss of $18 million related to the investment was recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative unrealized gain previously recognized in other comprehensive income of $27 million was reclassified to retained earnings.

Note 21 | Pension and other post-retirement benefits****

We offer the following pension and other post-retirement benefits to qualified employees: defined benefit pension plans; defined contribution pension plans; and health, dental and life insurance, referred to as other post-retirement plans. Substantially all our employees participate in at least one of these plans.

Description of defined benefit pension plans

	Plan type	Contributions
United States	–<br><br>non-contributory,<br><br>–<br><br>guaranteed annual pension payments for<br>life,<br><br>–<br><br>benefits generally depend on years of service and compensation level in the final years leading up to age<br>65,<br><br>–<br><br>benefits available starting at age 55 at a reduced rate,<br>and<br><br>–<br><br>plans provide for maximum pensionable salary and maximum annual benefit limits.	–<br><br>made to meet or exceed minimum funding<br>requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and associated Internal Revenue Service regulations and procedures.
Canada		–<br><br>made to meet or exceed minimum funding<br>requirements based on provincial statutory requirements and associated federal taxation rules.
Supplemental Plans in US and Canada for Senior Management	–<br><br>non-contributory,<br><br>–<br><br>unfunded,<br>and<br><br>–<br><br>supplementary pension benefits.	–<br><br>provided for by charges to earnings<br>sufficient to meet the projected benefit obligations, and<br><br>–<br><br>payments to plans are made as plan<br>payments to retirees occur.

Our defined benefit pension plans are funded with separate funds that are legally separated from the Company and administered through the Pension Committee in each country, which is composed of our employees. The Pension Committee is required by law to act in the best interests of the plan participants and, in the US and Canada, is responsible for the governance of the plans, including setting certain policies (e.g., investment and contribution) of the funds. The current investment policy for each country’s plans generally does not include currency hedging strategies. Plan assets held in trusts are governed by local regulations and practices in each country, as is the nature of the relationship between the Company and the trustees and their composition.

Description of other post-retirement plans

We provide health care plans for certain eligible retired employees in the US, Canada and Trinidad. Eligibility for these benefits is generally based on a combination of age and years of service at retirement. Certain terms of the plans include:

–	coordination with government-provided medical insurance in each country;
–	certain unfunded cost-sharing features such as co-insurance, deductibles and co-payments – benefits subject to change;<br>
---	---
–	for certain plans, maximum lifetime benefits;
---	---
–	at retirement, the employee’s spouse and certain dependent children may be eligible for coverage;<br>
---	---
–	benefits are self-insured and are administered through third-party providers; and
---	---
–	generally, retirees contribute towards annual cost of the plans.
---	---

In addition, certain Medicare eligible retired employees in the US receive an annual contribution to a Healthcare Reimbursement Account, which can be used to purchase health benefits through a private exchange. This annual contribution can be used for premiums or to pay deductibles and/or co-insurance. Finally, we provide non-contributory life insurance plans for certain retired employees who meet specific age and service eligibility requirements.

Risks

The defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans expose us to broadly similar actuarial risks. The most significant risks include investment risk and interest rate risk as discussed below. Other risks include longevity risk.

Investment risk

A deficit will be created if plan assets underperform the discount rate used in the defined benefit obligation valuation. To mitigate investment risk, we employ – a diversified mix of return seeking and liability hedging (i.e., fixed income) investments; and – a risk tolerance established through careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate financial condition. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio reviews, annual liability measurements and periodic asset/liability studies.

Interest rate risk

A decrease in bond interest rates will increase the pension liability; however, this is generally expected to be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.

We use letters of credit or surety bonds to secure certain Canadian unfunded defined benefit plan liabilities as at December 31, 2025.

We expect to contribute approximately $149 million to all pension and post-retirement plans in 2026. Total contributions recognized as expense under all defined contribution plans for 2025 was $147 million (2024 – $153 million).

We used the following significant assumptions to determine the benefit obligations and expense for our significant plans as at and for the year ended December 31. These assumptions are determined by management and are reviewed annually by our independent actuaries.

Purchase commitments

In 2025, we completed a controlled shutdown of our Trinidad Nitrogen facility due to uncertainty with respect to port access and a lack of reliable and economic gas supply. The current natural gas contract has expired and negotiations for renewal are in progress.

In 2023, we also entered into natural gas pipeline transportation agreements at our Geismar plant, the latest of which expires in 2033 and accounts for approximately 85 percent of the expected natural gas requirements in Geismar.

The Carseland facility has a power cogeneration agreement expiring on December 31, 2026, which provides 60 megawatt-hours of power per hour. The price for the power is based on a fixed charge adjusted for inflation and a variable charge based on the cost of natural gas provided to the facility for power generation.

Agreements for the purchase of sulfur for use in production of phosphoric acid provide for specified purchase quantities and prices based on Green Markets Tampa Index price per long ton at the time of delivery, which expire in 2026 and 2027. Commitments included in the foregoing table are based on expected contract prices.

Other commitments

Other commitments consist principally of technology service contracts, managed services contracts, natural gas transportation and truck distribution contracts, various rail contracts, committed donations, the latest of which expires in 2028, and mineral lease commitments, the latest of which expires in 2044.

Note 25 | Guarantees ****

In the normal course of business, we provide indemnification agreements to counterparties in transactions such as purchase and sale contracts, service agreements, director/officer contracts, and leasing transactions. The terms of these indemnification agreements

–	may require us to compensate counterparties for costs incurred as a result of various events, including environmental<br>liabilities and changes in (or in the interpretation of) laws and regulations, or as a result of litigation claims or statutory sanctions that may be suffered by a counterparty as a consequence of the transaction;<br>
–	will vary based upon the contract, the nature of which prevents us from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum<br>potential amount that we could be required to pay to counterparties; and
---	---
–	have not historically resulted in any significant payments by Nutrien and, as at December 31, 2025, no amounts have<br>been accrued in the consolidated financial statements (except for accruals relating to certain underlying liabilities).
---	---

We directly guarantee our share of certain commitments of Canpotex (such as railcar leases) under certain agreements with third parties. We would be required to perform on these guarantees in the event of default by the investee. Nutrien does not have any financial guarantee contracts. No material loss is anticipated by reason of such agreements and guarantees.

Note 26 | Related party transactions ****

Sales and purchases of goods

We sell potash outside Canada and the US exclusively through Canpotex. Canpotex sells potash to buyers, including Nutrien, in export markets pursuant to term and spot contracts at agreed-upon prices. Our total revenue is recognized at the amount received from Canpotex representing proceeds from their sale of potash, less net costs of Canpotex. Sales to Canpotex are shown in Note 3. The receivable outstanding from Canpotex is shown in Note 12 and arose from sale transactions described above. It is unsecured and bears no interest. Any credit losses held against this receivable are expected to be negligible. Purchases from Canpotex in 2025 were $150 million (2024 – $146 million).

Note 27 | **** Contingencies and other matters ****

Accounting estimates and judgments

The following judgments are required to determine our exposure to possible losses and gains related to environmental matters and other various claims and lawsuits pending:

–	prediction of the outcome of uncertain events (i.e., being virtually certain, probable, remote or undeterminable);<br>
–	determination of whether recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements is required; and<br>
---	---
–	estimation of potential financial effects.
---	---

Where no amounts are recognized, such amounts are contingent and disclosure may be appropriate. While the amount disclosed in the consolidated financial statements may not be material, the potential for large liabilities exists and, therefore, these estimates could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Supporting information

Canpotex

Nutrien is a shareholder in Canpotex, which markets Canadian potash outside of Canada and the US. Should any operating losses or other liabilities be incurred by Canpotex, the shareholders have contractually agreed to reimburse it in proportion to each shareholder’s productive capacity. Through December 31, 2025, we are not aware of any operating losses or other liabilities.

Mining risk

The risk of underground water inflows and other underground risks is insured on a limited basis, subject to insurance market availability. Through December 31, 2025, we are not aware of any material losses or other liabilities that we have not accrued for.

Environmental remediation, legal and other matters

We are engaged in ongoing site assessment and/or remediation activities at a number of facilities and sites. Anticipated costs associated with these matters are added to accrued environmental costs in the manner described in Note 22.

We have established provisions for environmental site assessment and/or remediation matters to the extent that we consider expenses associated with those matters likely to be incurred. Except for the uncertainties described below, we do not believe that our future obligations with respect to these matters are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Legal matters with significant uncertainties include the following:

–

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“US EPA”) has an ongoing enforcement initiative directed at the phosphate industry related to the scope of an exemption for mineral processing wastes under the US Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”). This initiative affects the Conda Phosphate plant previously owned by Nu-West Industries, Inc. (“Nu-West”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nutrien (Canada) Holdings ULC, and the Nutrien phosphoric acid facilities in Aurora, North Carolina; Geismar, Louisiana; and White Springs, Florida. Nutrien facilities received US EPA notices of violation (“NOVs”) for alleged violations of the RCRA and various other environmental laws. Notwithstanding the sale of the Conda phosphate operations in January 2018, Nu-West remains responsible for certain environmental liabilities attributable to its historic activities and for resolution of the NOVs. The facilities have been and continue to be involved in ongoing discussions with the US EPA, the US Department of Justice and the related state agencies to resolve these matters, with one such settlement being reached for the Geismar facility. The Geismar consent decree was entered on October 19, 2022, and resolved the allegations associated with the historic phosphoric acid operations at that facility. Due to the nature of the allegations at the other facilities, we are uncertain as to how the matters will be resolved. Based on settlements with

<br><br><br><br>	Overview	MD&A	Five-year highlights	Financial statements and notes

Notes

other members of the phosphate industry and the Geismar consent decree, we expect that a resolution could involve any or all of the following: 1) penalties, which we currently believe will not be material; 2) modification of certain operating practices; 3) capital improvement projects; 4) providing financial assurance for the future closure, maintenance and monitoring costs for the phosphogypsum stack system; and 5) addressing findings resulting from the RCRA section 3013 site investigations.

–

We operate in countries that are parties to the Paris Agreement adopted in December 2015 pursuant to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Each country that is a party to the Paris Agreement submitted an Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (“INDC”) towards the control of greenhouse gas emissions. The impacts on our operations of these INDCs and other national and local efforts to limit or tax greenhouse gas emissions cannot be determined with any certainty at this time.

---

In addition, various other claims and lawsuits are pending against the Company in the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of such actions at this time, and inherent uncertainties exist in predicting such outcomes, we believe that the ultimate resolution of such actions is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

The breadth of our operations and the global complexity of tax regulations require assessments of uncertainties and judgments in estimating the taxes we will ultimately pay. The final taxes paid are dependent upon many factors, including negotiations with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, outcomes of tax litigation, and resolution of disputes arising from federal, provincial, state and local tax audits. The resolution of these uncertainties and the associated final taxes may result in adjustments to our tax assets and tax liabilities.

We own facilities that have been either permanently or indefinitely shut down. We expect to incur nominal annual expenditures for site security and other maintenance costs at some of these facilities. Should the facilities be dismantled, certain other shutdown-related costs may be incurred. Such costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements and would be recognized and recorded in the period in which they are incurred.

Note 28 | **** Accounting policies, estimates and judgments ****

The following discusses the material accounting policies, estimates, judgments and assumptions that we have adopted and applied and how they affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Certain of our policies involve accounting estimates and judgments because they require us to make subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

Revenue

Transfer of control for sale of goods		Transfer of control for sale of services
At the point in time when the product<br>is:<br><br>–<br><br>purchased at our Retail farm center,<br><br>–<br><br>delivered and accepted by customers at<br>their premises, or<br><br>–<br><br>loaded for shipping.		Over time as the promised service is rendered.

Judgment is used to determine whether we are acting as principal or agent by evaluating who:

–	has the primary responsibility for fulfilling the promised good or service;
–	bears the inventory risk including if the vendor has the right to have its product returned on demand; and<br>
---	---
–	has discretion for establishing the price.
---	---

For transactions in which we act as an agent rather than the principal, revenue is recognized net of any commissions earned. The related commissions are recognized as the sales occur or as unconditional contracts are signed.

We recognize revenue on sales to Canpotex (as described in Note 26) when there is a transfer of control, either at the time the product is loaded for shipping or delivered, depending on the terms of the contract. Sales revenue is recognized using a provisional price at the time control is transferred to Canpotex, with the final pricing determined upon Canpotex’s final sale to a third party (generally between one and three months from date of sale to Canpotex).

Our sales revenue relating to our Potash, Nitrogen and Phosphate segments is generally recorded and measured based on the “freight on board” mine, plant, warehouse or terminal price specified in the contract (except for certain vessel sales or specific product sales that are shipped and recorded on a delivered basis), which reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services, adjusted for any variable consideration (e.g., any trade discounts or estimated volume rebates). Our customer contracts may provide certain product quality specification guarantees but do not generally provide for refunds or returns.

Due to the nature of goods and services sold, any single estimate would have only a negligible impact on revenue.

As the expected period between when control over a promised good or service is transferred and when the customer pays for that good or service is generally less than 12 months, we apply the practical expedient as provided in IFRS 15, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” and do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of financing.

Seasonality in our business results from increased demand for products during planting season. Crop input sales are generally higher in the spring and fall application seasons. Crop input inventories are normally accumulated leading up to each application season. Our cash collections generally occur after the application season is complete, while customer prepayments made to us are typically concentrated in December and January and inventory prepayments paid to our suppliers are typically concentrated in the period from November to January. Feed and industrial sales are more evenly distributed throughout the year.

Share-based compensation

Estimation involves determining:

–	stock option-pricing model assumptions as described in the weighted average assumptions table in Note 7;<br>
–	forfeiture rate for options granted based on past experience and future expectations, and adjusted upon actual vesting;<br>
---	---
–	projected outcome of performance conditions for PSUs, including our return on invested capital compared to Nutrien’s<br>weighted average cost of capital, and including the relative ranking of our total shareholder return, including expected dividends, compared with a specified peer group using a Monte Carlo simulation option-pricing model; and
---	---
–	the number of dividend equivalent units expected to be earned.

Income taxes

Taxation on earnings (loss) is composed of current and deferred income tax. Taxation is recognized in the statements of earnings unless it relates to items recognized either in OCI or directly in shareholders’ equity.

Current income tax		Deferred income tax
–<br><br>is calculated using rates enacted or<br>substantively enacted at the dates of the consolidated balance sheets in the countries where our subsidiaries and equity-accounted investees operate and generate taxable earnings.		–<br><br>is determined using tax rates that have<br>been enacted or substantively enacted by the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
The realized and unrealized excess tax benefits from share-based compensation arrangements are recognized in contributed surplus as current and deferred tax,<br>respectively.

The final taxes paid, and potential adjustments to tax assets and liabilities, are dependent upon many factors including:

–	negotiations with taxation authorities in various jurisdictions;
–	outcomes of tax litigation; and
---	---
–	resolution of disputes arising from federal, provincial, state and local tax audits.
---	---

Deferred income tax is not accounted for:

–	with respect to investments in subsidiaries and equity-accounted investees where we are able to control the reversal of<br>the temporary difference and that difference is not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future; and
–	if arising from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at<br>the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
---	---

Deferred tax assets are:

–	recognized to the extent it is probable future taxable profit will be available to use deductible temporary differences and<br>could be reduced if projected earnings are not achieved or increased if earnings previously not projected become probable; and
–	reviewed at each balance sheet date and amended to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit<br>will be realized.
---	---

As provided in the amendments to International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 12, we apply the mandatory exception to recognize and disclose information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. The mandatory exception has been applied retrospectively, with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified and measured as follows based on the objective of the business model for managing the instrument or group of instruments and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

Fair value classification		FVTPL		FVTOCI		Amortized cost
Instrument type		Cash and cash<br><br><br>equivalents, derivatives, and certain equity investments not held for trading		Certain equity investments not held for trading for which an irrevocable election was made at initial recognition		Receivables, short-term debt, trade, other payables and accrued liabilities, long-term debt, lease liabilities, and other long-term debt instruments

Financial instruments are recognized at trade date when we commit to purchase or sell the asset.

Derivatives are used to lock in exchange rates. For designated and qualified cash flow hedges:

–	the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is accumulated in OCI;
–	when the hedged forecast transaction occurs, the related gain or loss is removed from AOCI and included in the cost of<br>inventory or property, plant and equipment;
---	---
–	the hedging gain or loss included in the cost of inventory is recognized in earnings when the product containing the hedged<br>item is sold or becomes impaired; and
---	---
–	the ineffective portions of hedges are recorded in net earnings in the current period.

Notes

We assess whether our derivative hedging transactions are expected to be or were highly effective, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, in offsetting changes in fair values of hedged items.

Hedging transaction		Measurement of ineffectiveness		Potential sources of ineffectiveness
Foreign exchange		Comparison of the cumulative changes in fair value and the cumulative change in the fair value of a hypothetical derivative with terms based on the hedged forecast cash<br>flows		Changes<br>in:<br><br>–<br><br>timing or amounts of forecasted cash flows<br><br>–<br><br>embedded<br>optionality<br><br>–<br><br>our credit risk or the credit risk of a counterparty
New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) natural gas hedges		Assessed on a prospective and retrospective basis using regression analyses		Changes<br>in:<br><br>–<br><br>timing of forecast transactions<br><br>–<br><br>volume<br>delivered<br><br>–<br><br>our credit risk or the credit risk of a counterparty

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is presented in the consolidated balance sheets when we:

–	currently have a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts; and
–	intend either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.<br>
---	---

Fair value measurements

Estimated fair values for financial instruments are designed to approximate amounts for which the instruments could be exchanged in a current arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. The valuation policies and procedures for financial reporting purposes are determined by our finance department.

Fair value measurements are categorized into different levels within a fair value hierarchy based on the degree to which the lowest level inputs are observable and their significance:

Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Unadjusted quoted prices (in active markets accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities)		Quoted prices (in markets that are not active or based on inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability)		Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall measurement

Fair value estimates:

–	are at a point in time and may change in subsequent reporting periods due to market conditions or other factors;<br>
–	can be determined using multiple methods, which can cause values (or a range of reasonable values) to differ; and<br>
---	---
–	may require assumptions about costs/prices over time, discount and inflation rates, defaults and other relevant variables.<br>
---	---

Inventories

Costs are allocated to inventory using the weighted average cost method.

Net realizable value is based on:

Products and raw materials		Materials and supplies
–<br><br>selling price of the finished product (in<br>ordinary course of business) less the estimated<br> <br>costs of completion and estimated costs to make the sale		–<br><br>replacement<br>cost

Inventories are valued monthly. Various factors impact our estimates of net realizable value, including inventory levels, forecasted prices of key production inputs, global nutrient capacities, crop price trends, and changes in regulations and standards employed.

Vendors may offer various incentives to purchase products for resale. Vendor rebates and prepay discounts are accounted for as a reduction of the prices of the suppliers’ products. Rebates based on the amount of materials purchased reduce cost of goods sold as inventory is sold. Rebates earned based on sales volumes of products are offset to cost of goods sold.

Rebates that are probable and can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Rebates that are not probable or estimable are accrued when certain milestones are achieved.

<br><br><br><br>	Overview	MD&A	Five-year highlights	Financial statements and notes

Notes

Estimation of rebates can be complex in nature as vendor arrangements are diverse. The amount of the accrual is determined by analyzing and reviewing historical trends to apply negotiated rates to estimated and actual purchase volumes. Estimated amounts accrued throughout the year could also be impacted if actual purchase volumes differ from projected volumes.

Property, plant and equipment

		Owned	Right-of-use (leased)
Description		Majority of our tangible assets are buildings, machinery and equipment used to produce or distribute our products and render our services.	Primarily include railcars, marine vessels, real estate and mobile equipment.
Measurement		–<br><br>cost, which includes capitalized<br>borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses<br><br>–<br><br>cost of major inspections and overhauls<br>is capitalized<br><br>–<br><br>maintenance and repair expenditures that do not improve or extend productive life are expensed in the period incurred	–<br><br>cost less accumulated depreciation and<br>any accumulated impairment losses<br><br>–<br><br>lease payments are allocated between<br>finance costs and a reduction of the liability
Depreciation method		–<br><br>certain property, plant and equipment<br>directly related to our Potash, Nitrogen and Phosphate segments uses units-of-production based on the shorter of estimates of reserves or service<br>lives<br><br>–<br><br>pre-stripping costs uses units-of-production over the ore mined from the mineable acreage<br>stripped<br><br>–<br><br>remaining assets uses straight-line	Straight-line over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.
		Estimated useful lives, expected patterns of consumption, depreciation method and residual values are reviewed at least annually.
Judgment/practical expedients		Judgment is required in<br>determining:<br><br>–<br><br>costs, including income or expenses derived from an asset under construction, that are eligible for<br>capitalization;<br><br>–<br><br>timing to cease cost capitalization, generally when the asset is capable of operating in the manner intended by management, but also considering the<br>circumstances and the industry in which the asset is to be operated, normally predetermined by management with reference to such factors as productive<br>capacity;<br><br>–<br><br>the appropriate level of componentization (for individual components for which different depreciation methods or rates are<br>appropriate);<br><br>–<br><br>repairs and maintenance that qualify as major inspections and overhauls;<br>and<br><br>–<br><br>useful life over which such costs should be depreciated, which may be impacted by changes in our strategy, process or operations as a result of climate-change<br>initiatives.	Judgment is required to determine whether a contract or arrangement includes a lease and if<br>it is reasonably certain that an extension option will be exercised. We seek to maximize operational flexibility in managing our leasing activities by including extension options when negotiating new leases. Extension options are exercisable at our<br>option and not by the lessors. In determining if a renewal period should be included in the lease term, we consider all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for us to exercise a renewal,<br>including:<br><br>–<br><br>the location of the asset and the availability of suitable<br>alternatives,<br><br>–<br><br>the significance of the asset to operations,<br>and<br><br>–<br><br>our business strategy.<br> <br><br><br><br>Estimation is used to determine the useful lives of ROU assets, the lease term and the appropriate discount rate applied to the lease payments to calculate the lease<br>liability.
		Uncertainties are inherent in estimating reserve and resource quantities, particularly as they relate to assumptions regarding future prices, the geology of our mines, the<br>mining methods used, and the related costs incurred to develop and mine reserves and resources. Changes in these assumptions could result in material adjustments to reserve estimates, which could result in impairments or changes to<br>depreciation expense in future periods.	We have chosen<br>to:<br><br>–<br><br>include the use of a single discount rate for a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar<br>characteristics,<br><br>–<br><br>not separate non-lease components and<br>instead to account for lease and non-lease components as a single arrangement, and<br><br>–<br><br>use exemptions for short-term and<br>low-value leases which allow payments to be expensed as incurred.
Other		Not applicable.	Lease agreements do not contain significant covenants; however, leased assets may be used as security for lease liabilities and other borrowings.

Notes

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, is not amortized, and represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is allocated to a CGU or group of CGUs for impairment testing based on the level at which it is monitored by management and not at a level higher than an operating segment. The allocation is made to the CGU or group of CGUs expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.

Intangible assets are generally measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Accumulated amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life. We use judgment to determine which expenditures are eligible for capitalization as intangible assets. Costs incurred internally from researching and developing a product are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is established, at which time the costs are capitalized until the product is available for its intended use. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. At least annually, the useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate.

Impairment of long-lived assets

To assess impairment, assets are grouped at the smallest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (this can be at the asset or CGU level).

At the end of each reporting period, we review conditions to determine whether there is any indication that an impairment exists that could potentially impact the carrying amounts of both our long-lived assets to be held and used (including property, plant and equipment, and investments), and our goodwill and intangible assets. When such indicators exist, impairment testing is performed. Additionally, goodwill is tested at least annually on October 1.

We review, at each reporting period, for possible reversal of the impairment for non-financial assets, other than goodwill.

Estimates and judgment involve:

–	identifying the appropriate asset, group of assets, CGU or group of CGUs;
–	determining the appropriate discount rate for assessing the recoverable amount;
---	---
–	making assumptions about future sales, market conditions, terminal growth rates and cash flow forecasts over the long-term<br>life of the assets or CGUs; and
---	---
–	evaluating impacts of climate change to our strategy, processes and operations.
---	---

We cannot predict if an event that triggers impairment or a reversal of impairment will occur, when it will occur or how it will affect reported asset amounts. Asset impairment amounts previously recorded could be affected if different assumptions were used or if market and other conditions change. Such changes could result in non-cash charges materially affecting our consolidated financial statements.

Equity-accounted investments

For equity-accounted investments reduced to zero, we do not eliminate our share of the unrealized earnings. If the investee earns a profit in the subsequent period, we then recognize our share of the earnings only after adjusting for the unrealized earnings that were not previously eliminated.

Pension and other post-retirement benefits

When a plan amendment occurs before a settlement, we recognize past service cost before any gain or loss on settlement.

Our discount rate assumptions are impacted by:

–	the weighted average interest rate at which each pension and other post-retirement plan liability could<br>be effectively settled at the measurement date;
–	country specific rates; and
---	---
–	the use of a yield curve approach based on the respective plans’ demographics, expected future pension benefits and<br>medical claims. Payments are measured and discounted to determine the present value of the expected future cash flows. The cash flows are discounted using yields on high-quality AA-rated non-callable bonds with cash flows of similar timing where<br>there is a deep market for such bonds. Where we do not believe there is a deep market for such bonds (such as for terms in excess of 10 years in Canada), the cash flows are discounted using a yield curve derived from yields on provincial bonds<br>rated AA or better to which a spread adjustment is added to reflect the additional risk of corporate bonds.
---	---

Net actuarial gains or loss incurred during the period for defined benefit plans are closed out to retained earnings at each period-end.

Asset retirement obligations and accrued environmental costs

Asset retirement obligations and accrued environmental costs include:

–	reclamation and restoration costs at our potash and phosphate mining operations, including management of materials generated<br>by mining and mineral processing, such as various mine tailings and gypsum;
–	land reclamation and revegetation programs;
---	---
–	decommissioning of underground and surface operating facilities;
---	---
–	general clean-up activities aimed at returning the areas to an environmentally acceptable condition; and<br>
---	---
–	post-closure care and maintenance.
---	---

We consider the following factors as we estimate our provisions:

–	environmental laws and regulations and interpretations by regulatory authorities, including updates on climate change, could<br>change or circumstances affecting our operations could change, either of which could result in significant changes to current plans;
–	the nature, extent and timing of current and proposed reclamation and closure techniques in view of present environmental<br>laws and regulations;
---	---
–	appropriate technical resources, including outside consultants, assist us in developing specific site closure and<br>post-closure plans in accordance with the jurisdiction requirements;
---	---
–	timing of settlement of the obligations, which is typically correlated with mine life estimates except for certain land<br>reclamation programs; and
---	---
–	changes in the pre-tax risk-free rate used to discount the expected future cash flows associated with these provisions.<br>
---	---

It is reasonably possible that the ultimate costs could change in the future and that changes to these estimates could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We review our estimates for any changes in assumptions at the end of each reporting period.

We recognized contingent liabilities related to our business combinations or acquisitions, which represent additional environmental costs that are present obligations although cash outflows of resources are not probable. These contingent liabilities are subsequently measured at the higher of the amount initially recognized and the amount that would be recognized if the liability becomes probable.

Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. When we repurchase our own common shares, share capital and contributed surplus is reduced by the average carrying value of the shares repurchased. The excess of the purchase price over the average carrying value is recognized as a deduction from retained earnings. If the average carrying value of the shares repurchased is less than the average carrying value of the shares in share capital, the excess is recognized as an addition to share capital. Shares are cancelled upon repurchase.

Climate change

Climate-related risks and opportunities could impact our accounting estimates and judgments including, but not limited to, assessment of our asset useful lives, impairment of other long-lived assets, and asset retirement obligations and accrued environmental costs. There are also ongoing regulatory initiatives that could further impact our accounting estimates and judgments, and we will continue to monitor these developments and their impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Standards, amendments and interpretations effective and applied

The IASB and IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) have issued certain standards and amendments or interpretations to existing standards that were effective, and we have applied.

In 2025, we adopted the following standards, amendments and annual improvements with no material impact on our consolidated financial statements:

–	Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21)

Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective and not applied

The IASB and IFRIC have issued the following standards, amendments or interpretations to existing standards that were not yet effective and not applied as at December 31, 2025.

Overview	MD&A	Five-year highlights	Financial statements and notes	<br><br><br><br>

Notes

The following amendments will be adopted in 2026 and are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements:

–

Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7), effective January 1, 2026. In May 2024, the IASB issued these amendments to clarify the timing of recognition and derecognition for a financial asset or financial liability, including clarifying that a financial liability is derecognized on the settlement date. In addition to these clarifications, the amendments introduce an accounting policy choice to derecognize financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the settlement date if specific conditions are met.

The following standard is being reviewed to determine the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements:

–

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18), effective January 1, 2027. In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The new standard will require classification of income and expense into specified categories of operating, investing and financing. The standard will also require defined subtotals, including operating profit, and note disclosure including our management-defined performance measures (“MPMs”). The new standard also provides guidance on aggregation and disaggregation of disclosures.

We will continue to assess the full impact of IFRS 18 and disclose any significant updates as our implementation progresses.
