Note regarding non-GAAP financial measures The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss) earnings, adjusted net (loss) earnings per diluted share, controllable cost of sales, controllable cost of sales per ton, and, on a segment basis, adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin per nutrient ton, which are non-GAAP financial measures, provide additional meaningful information regarding the company's performance and financial strength. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss) earnings, adjusted net (loss) earnings per diluted share, controllable cost of sales, controllable cost of sales per ton, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted gross margin per nutrient ton included in this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss) earnings, adjusted net (loss) earnings per diluted share, controllable cost of sales, controllable cost of sales per ton, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted gross margin per nutrient ton to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables accompanying this presentation. EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders plus interest expense - net, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Other adjustments include the elimination of loan fee amortization that is included in both interest and amortization, and the portion of depreciation that is included in noncontrolling interests. The company has presented EBITDA because management uses the measure to track performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted with the selected items included in EBITDA as summarized in the tables accompanying this presentation. The company has presented adjusted EBITDA because management uses adjusted EBITDA, and believes it is useful to investors, as a supplemental financial measure in the comparison of year-over-year performance. Adjusted net (loss) earnings is defined as net earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders adjusted with the impacts of the selected items included in net earnings (loss) as summarized in the tables accompanying this presentation. The company has presented adjusted net (loss) earnings and adjusted net (loss) earnings per diluted share because management uses these measures, and believes they are useful to investors, as supplemental financial measures in the comparison of year-over-year performance. Adjusted gross margin is defined as gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization and unrealized net mark-to-market (gain) loss on natural gas derivatives. The company has presented adjusted gross margin because management uses this measure, and believes it is useful to investors, as a supplemental financial measure in the comparison of year-over-year performance. Controllable cost of sales is defined as cost of sales adjusted for natural gas costs, realized and unrealized losses (gains) on natural gas derivatives, depreciation and amortization and start-up costs related to the company’s Donaldsonville and Port Neal plants. The company has presented controllable cost of sales and controllable cost of sales per ton because management uses these measures, and believes they are useful to investors, as supplemental financial measures in the comparison of year-over-year performance.

15 Source: CF Industries The table was created by using 2017 adjusted EBITDA of $969 million, 2017 sales volumes of approximately 20 million product tons and gas consumption of approximately 360 million MMBtus. Sales volume and gas consumption was adjusted for CF’s anticipated 2018 turnaround schedule and 100% ownership of TNCLP. Changes in product prices and gas costs were not applied to the CHS supply agreement and the contractual Orica and Mosaic volumes as CF Industries’ is naturally hedged against changes in product prices and gas costs under each agreement. While the table above presents CF’s realized North American natural gas cost, CF Fertilisers UK’s gas cost and volumes were included in the analysis. As with North America, CF Fertilisers UK’s gas cost was sensitized in $0.25/MMBtu increments. See slide 35 for 2017 EBITDA reconciliation. Assumes CF’s 2017 North American basis differential to Henry Hub of ($0.27)/MMBtu Assumes that a $25 per ton change in urea price is equivalent to a $17.39 per ton change in UAN price, $18.47 per ton change in AN price and a $44.57 per ton change in ammonia price. Price sensitivity is applied only to major products (ammonia, urea, UAN, and AN). CF is well positioned for expected pricing recovery $25/ton urea equivalent movement implies ~$350M change in EBITDA on an annual basis Table illustrates the resiliency of CF Industries’ business model across a broad range of industry conditions CF Realized North American Natural Gas Cost ($/MMBtu)(3) CF Realized Urea Equivalent Price ($/ton)(4) $ billions $2.50 $2.75 $3.00 $3.25 $3.50 $175 $0.4 $0.3 $0.3 $0.2 $0.2 $200 $0.7 $0.7 $0.6 $0.6 $0.5 $225 $1.1 $1.0 $1.0 $0.9 $0.9 $250 $1.5 $1.4 $1.4 $1.3 $1.2 $275 $1.8 $1.8 $1.7 $1.7 $1.6 $300 $2.2 $2.1 $2.1 $2.0 $2.0 $325 $2.6 $2.5 $2.4 $2.4 $2.3 $350 $2.9 $2.9 $2.8 $2.7 $2.7 $375 $3.3 $3.2 $3.2 $3.1 $3.0 EBITDA Sensitivity to Natural Gas and Urea Prices(1)(2)

2018 Planning Assumptions 2018 CF Planning Assumptions CF is planning a higher number of turnarounds in 2018, reducing 2018 production volumes compared to 2017, with a likely commensurate impact on sales volumes Capital expenditures for new activities in 2018 expected to be between $400 - $450 million Depreciation & amortization expected to be approximately $875 million Interest expense will drop to ~$230 million in 2018; or $76 million lower than 2017 on an annualized basis 10% of 2018 natural gas purchases hedged at $3.21 per MMBtu; ~20% naturally hedged through contracts 2018 CF Market Assumptions Corn and bean planted acres expected to be similar to 2017 – approximately 91 million acres of corn and 91 million acres of beans Due to higher coal costs, currency impact, higher ocean freight, and effects of environmental regulation enforcement, Chinese exports likely reduced in 2018 Reports suggest India may require 500,000 – 1,000,000 metric tons of urea to be imported by March 31 to meet its fertilizer needs for 2018

Global Supply and Demand North American Outlook Global Pricing Dynamics Market overview CF expects higher nitrogen prices in 2018 than in 2017 The US dollar is expected to remain lower against currencies in key nitrogen producing regions through at least 1H 2018, pushing up cost of nitrogen exports in US dollar terms Energy prices for marginal producers in Eastern Europe and China increased ~25% and 29%, respectively, since mid-2017; Henry Hub prices have increased less than 3% Ocean freight from Arab Gulf to Gulf of Mexico is 15% higher per ton than prior year and nearly 30% higher per ton than the beginning of July 2017, further supporting the global price of nitrogen Imports will remain necessary to meet North American demand in 2018 with CF projecting ~91 million corn acres will be planted in the US For much of 2017, nitrogen prices in the region discouraged imports as urea barge prices at NOLA averaged ~$25 below international parity during Q4 Imports of urea and UAN from July through December declined 37% and 24% respectively, compared to the same period in 2016 Given steady demand and higher netbacks available in other regions, nitrogen prices in North America will likely have to rise to attract the imports necessary to meet expected demand CF expects a traditional mid-year price reset after completion of spring applications but does not expect prices to fall to the unsustainably low levels of summer 2017 China urea exports have declined ~65 percent in two years, from 13 million metric tons in 2015 to 4.7 million metric tons in 2017 Higher coal costs, currency impacts, and stepped up enforcement of environmental regulations likely to further reduce net Chinese urea exports in 2018 Published reports and CF analysis suggest India may require up to 500k-1 million metric tons of urea to be imported by March 31 to meet it’s 2018 fertilizer needs Brazil has emerged as the second largest importer of urea in the world, with imports of ~5.4 million metric tons in 2017, 15% higher than 2016 and 64% higher than 2012 Australia, Mexico and Turkey have significantly increased urea imports in recent years
