Gross Margin - US$ Millions

Potash• Lower realizations due to weaker pricing environment and

Canpotex Prince Rupert port exit costs

• Lower per-tonne costs due to higher proportion of production from Saskatchewan mines, lower royalties and weaker Canadian dollar

Nitrogen• Weaker realizations due to weaker benchmark pricing

• Lower sales volumes due to weaker demand

• Lower costs due to reduced natural gas prices

Phosphate• Lower prices due to weaker demand environment

• Unfavorable discount rate adjustment to asset retirement obligations and inventory writedowns more than offset benefit of lower input costs
