CVR Partners Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results
and Announces a Cash Distribution of $4.14
and Announces a Cash Distribution of $4.14
SUGAR LAND, Texas (July 31, 2023) – CVR Partners, LP (“CVR Partners” or the “Partnership”) (NYSE: UAN), a manufacturer of ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”) solution fertilizer products, today announced net income of $60 million, or $5.66 per common unit, on net sales of $183 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $118 million, or $11.12 per common unit, on net sales of $244 million for the second quarter of 2022. EBITDA was $87 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to EBITDA of $147 million for the second quarter of 2022.
“CVR Partners achieved solid results for the 2023 second quarter led by strong production, including a combined ammonia production rate of 100 percent offset by lower fertilizer pricing,” said Mark Pytosh, Chief Executive Officer of CVR Partners’ general partner. “The spring planting season went well with favorable weather and strong demand for nitrogen fertilizer.
“As we enter a new planting season, nitrogen fertilizer prices have fully reset and we have seen strong demand for the second half of 2023,” Pytosh said. “Our focus for the remainder of the year will continue to be on safe, reliable operations and maximizing our free cash generation and cash distribution.”
Consolidated Operations
For the second quarter of 2023, CVR Partners’ average realized gate prices for UAN showed a reduction over the prior year, down 43 percent to $316 per ton, and ammonia was down 40 percent over the prior year to $707 per ton. Average realized gate prices for UAN and ammonia were $555 and $1,182 per ton, respectively, for the second quarter of 2022.
CVR Partners’ fertilizer facilities produced a combined 219,000 tons of ammonia during the second quarter of 2023, of which 70,000 net tons were available for sale while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 339,000 tons of UAN. In the second quarter of 2022, the fertilizer facilities produced 193,000 tons of ammonia, of which 50,000 net tons were available for sale while the remainder was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 331,000 tons of UAN. These increases were due to operating reliability after completing the planned turnarounds at both fertilizer facilities during the third quarter of 2022.
Distributions
CVR Partners also announced that on July 31, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Partnership’s general partner (the “Board”) declared a second quarter 2023 cash distribution of $4.14 per common unit, which will be paid on August 21, 2023, to common unitholders of record as of August 14, 2023.
CVR Partners is a variable distribution master limited partnership. As a result, its distributions, if any, will vary from quarter to quarter due to several factors, including, but not limited to, its operating performance, fluctuations in the prices received for its finished products, maintenance capital expenditures, use of cash and cash reserves deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board.

Non-GAAP Measures
Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures, and reconciliations to those measures, to evaluate current and past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the performance and liquidity measures defined below.
The following are non-GAAP measures we present for the period ended June 30, 2023:
EBITDA - Net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA adjusted for certain significant non-cash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our on-going operations or that may obscure our underlying results and trends.
Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities to EBITDA - Net cash provided by operating activities reduced by (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), (iii) change in working capital, and (iv) other non-cash adjustments.
Available Cash for Distribution - EBITDA for the quarter excluding non-cash income or expense items (if any), for which adjustment is deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board in its sole discretion, less (i) reserves for maintenance capital expenditures, debt service and other contractual obligations, and (ii) reserves for future operating or capital needs (if any), in each case, that the Board deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion. Available cash for distribution may be increased by the release of previously established cash reserves, if any, and other excess cash, at the discretion of the Board.
We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders, and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our GAAP results, including, but not limited to, our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the fertilizer industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods, and our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” included herein for reconciliation of these amounts. Due to rounding, numbers presented within this section may not add or equal to numbers or totals presented elsewhere within this document.

(1)Reflects our ammonia utilization rates on a consolidated basis and at each of our facilities. Utilization is an important measure used by management to assess operational output at each of the Partnership’s facilities. Utilization is calculated as actual tons produced divided by capacity. We present our utilization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and take into account the impact of our current turnaround cycles on any specific period. Additionally, we present utilization solely on ammonia production rather than each nitrogen product as it provides a comparative baseline against industry peers and eliminates the disparity of plant configurations for upgrade of ammonia into other nitrogen products. With our efforts being primarily focused on ammonia upgrade capabilities, this measure provides a meaningful view of how well we operate.
