Overview
CF Industries Holdings, Inc. today reported fourth quarter 2013 EBITDA of $643.0 million and net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $325.8 million, or $5.71 per diluted share, compared to EBITDA of $835.2 million and net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $470.7 million, or $7.40 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012. Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2013 were $1.3 billion, down 10 percent from $1.5 billion in the same period last year.
Full year 2013 EBITDA was $2.7 billion and net earnings attributable to common stockholders was $1.5 billion, or $24.74 per diluted share, compared to EBITDA of $3.3 billion and net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $1.8 billion, or $28.59 per diluted share, for 2012.
For the full year 2013, nitrogen prices were down significantly compared to 2012 due to weaker demand in important agricultural regions and higher global supply. Global nitrogen prices found a floor in October as represented by U.S. Gulf urea prices of around $285 per ton. Prices moved in a narrow band until rebounding in December to around $330 per ton. Increases in urea and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) prices coincided with the close of the low export tariff season for Chinese urea producers and growing recognition of low nitrogen industry inventories in several agricultural regions. Idled production due to nitrogen prices being below the cash costs of producers in areas such as Eastern Europe and production issues in several areas such as Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan and Trinidad also contributed to a tightening global supply and demand balance. While producers in Ukraine stand to benefit from a reduction in the cost of natural gas from Russia, Chinese producers utilizing anthracite coal continue to be the basis for world urea floor prices.
Even with global urea prices during the second half of the year declining to the estimated break-even economics of marginal producers, CF Industries was able to generate a significant level of EBITDA thanks to the structural advantage provided by low cost North American natural gas and the company's extensive network of plant and logistical assets.
“The earnings power of CF was demonstrated again this quarter as we generated strong EBITDA during a period characterized by global urea prices declining to floor levels,” said Tony Will, president and chief executive officer, CF Industries Holdings, Inc. “Thanks to our outstanding execution we realized favorable prices and strong profitability even during difficult market conditions.”
CF Industries made progress during and subsequent to the quarter on several key priorities oriented toward maximizing the value of the business. The company announced strategic agreements with the Mosaic Company including an agreement to sell the phosphate business for $1.4 billion and a long-term ammonia supply contract. Subsequent to the quarter end, the company also announced a long-term agreement with Orica to supply ammonium nitrate products. Both of these contracts provide CF Industries with a defined margin independent of gas costs, and increase confidence in the cash flow profile associated with a portion of the company's production capacity. The company reached several milestones on its capacity expansion projects, which will increase its annual nitrogen production capacity by 25% when the plants come on-stream in 2015 and 2016. CF Industries increased its dividend to $1.00 per share in October and repurchased 1.5 million shares during the quarter.
“Our overarching objective is to deliver superior total shareholder return. We are focused on selectively investing in projects with return profiles significantly above our cost of capital to grow the cash generation capability represented in each share of CF while minimizing the overall cost of financing the enterprise,” stated Mr. Will. “The accomplishments of 2013 represent significant progress in that direction.”
2014 Outlook and Objectives
The long-term outlook for CF Industries is positive as a number of factors support the company's growth and cash generation potential. Global population growth, higher protein diets and use of crops as a source of renewable fuels all are driving demand for more grain. The limited ability to bring into production additional arable land globally requires increased yields. The need for increased yields drives demand for nitrogen fertilizer, the nutrient that must be applied every year to promote plant growth.
Global nitrogen prices have improved significantly since November. Nitrogen floor prices are expected to continue to be the cash cost of Chinese urea producers. During the high-tariff season of November to June, their cash cost is estimated to be roughly $340 to $350 per ton delivered to the U.S. Gulf, compared to $285 to $300 per ton during the low-tariff season of July to October. Upside to nitrogen prices has recently developed due to the close of the Chinese low-tariff export season, low retailer and distributor inventory levels in important agricultural regions including Europe and North America, and emergence of normal seasonal demand.
North America is expected to have robust ammonia demand through the first half of 2014, assuming normal weather conditions; however, prices may be constrained due to high levels of producer inventory carried over from 2013.
Prices of urea and UAN in North America have increased and are expected to remain firm through the spring application season in order to attract imports required to fill 22 million nutrient tons of expected full year nitrogen demand, which is well in excess of the 15 million nutrient tons of expected North American production. Imports of urea and UAN have been lower than year ago levels, while strong spring demand is expected in association with 92 million acres of corn anticipated to be planted.
During 2014, CF Industries is focused on making progress on several key strategic objectives. The company expects after-tax proceeds of roughly $1.0 billion following the close of the sale of the phosphate business to the Mosaic Company in the first half of 2014. The company also intends to raise up to $1.5 billion of additional long-term debt in early 2014. These new borrowings, in addition to cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of the phosphate business, will fund the company's capital expenditures, working capital, dividends and additional share repurchases. The company currently has $1.4 billion remaining on its existing $3.0 billion share buyback authorization.
For 2014, the company expects total capital expenditures of approximately $2.5 billion. This consists of $2.0 billion for the capacity expansion projects and $0.5 billion of sustaining and other capital expenditures. These amounts exclude the phosphate business.
Attractive North American natural gas costs, in comparison to natural gas and coal costs in other regions, continue to support CF Industries' long-term cash generation prospects. Despite record storage withdrawals across North America, the company's gas costs have remained within its long-term expected range of $3 to $5 per MMBtu. CF Industries' gas hedging program is focused on limiting risks to the company's earnings profile from short-term price fluctuation. The company has 75% of its first quarter NYMEX exposure hedged at an average price of $3.66 and 50% of its second quarter NYMEX exposure hedged at an average price of $3.55. The company continues to have exposure to floating basis differentials for gas at some of its production points.
“With a structural cost advantage, we are confident in the sustainability of our cash flows,” said Mr. Will. “We are executing a compelling business plan and are focused on maximizing value for CF shareholders.”

Environmental, Health & Safety Performance
As of December 31, 2013, CF Industries' 12-month rolling average recordable incidence rate was 1.33, an all-time low for the company. “I thank our employees for their efforts to ensure safety in our operations. Together, we will continue working to reduce our incident rate with a company-wide focus on safety and environmental responsibility,” said Mr. Will.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Items
As of December 31, 2013, CF Industries' cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.7 billion, while restricted cash for capacity expansion projects was $154.0 million. Total long-term debt was $3.1 billion.
During the fourth quarter the company repurchased 1.5 million shares for $337.8 million at an average share price of $223.21. For 2013, the company repurchased a total of 7.3 million shares, or 12% of the outstanding share count, for a total of $1.4 billion. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the company repurchased 0.7 million shares through February 14, 2014 at an average price of $230.22, or a total of $162.2 million.
Total capital expenditures during the quarter were $190.9 million, of which $129.0 million related to the capacity expansion program. The program is progressing in-line with time and budget expectations as civil construction work is ongoing at Donaldsonville and is well underway at Port Neal. The company entered into general construction contracts for the urea and UAN plants at Donaldsonville and the ammonia and urea plants at Port Neal. The company also entered into lump sum, turnkey construction contracts for urea warehouses and ammonia storage tanks at both locations.
For the full year, total cash spent on capital expenditures for the expansion projects was $356.1 million. In addition, $203.6 million was invested in the expansion project and not paid at December 31, 2013, but recognized in the consolidated balance sheet in the lines labeled accounts payable and accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities.
Dividend Payment
On January 31, 2014, CF Industries' Board of Directors declared the regular quarterly dividend of $1.00 per common share. The dividend will be paid on February 28, 2014, to stockholders of record as of February 14, 2014.
| (1) | The comparability of sales and gross margin between 2013 and 2012 was impacted by a modification in 2012 to the selling price calculation methodology used for products sold by Canadian Fertilizers Limited (CFL) to the prior non-controlling interest holder. We acquired the non-controlling interest in May 2013 and now own 100% of CFL. This selling price modification impacts the comparability of certain financial results between the two periods, but does not impact the comparability of the company's net earnings attributable to common stockholders or EBITDA.

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, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides additional meaningful information regarding the company's performance, liquidity and financial strength. Management believes that the presentation of net sales, nitrogen segment net sales, gross margin, nitrogen segment gross margin, gross margin percentage, nitrogen segment gross margin percentage and average selling prices per ton of ammonia and urea on an as adjusted basis, and percentages changes in these adjusted items, as described under “CF Industries Holdings, Inc. Selected Financial Information Non-GAAP Disclosure Items—CFL Selling Price Modifications”, provides investors with additional meaningful information to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of the company's underlying operating performance. The adjusted items and percentage changes in those adjusted items are provided only for the purpose of facilitating comparisons between the company's 2013 and 2012 full-year and fourth-quarter operating performance and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations of the company would have been, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations. 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 and the adjusted items and percentage changes in adjusted items included in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of EBITDA and the adjusted items to GAAP are provided in the tables accompanying this release under “CF Industries Holdings, Inc.—Selected Financial Information—Non-GAAP Disclosure Items.”

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURE ITEMS (CONTINUED)
CFL Selling Price Modifications
Prior to April 30, 2013, CF Industries, Inc. (CF Industries) owned 49% of the voting common shares and 66% of the non-voting preferred shares of Canadian Fertilizers Limited (CFL), an Alberta, Canada based nitrogen fertilizer manufacturer and had the right to purchase 66% of the production of CFL. Also prior to April 30, 2013, Viterra, Inc. (Viterra) held 34% of the equity ownership of CFL and had the right to purchase up to 34% of CFL's production. Both CF Industries and Viterra were entitled to receive distributions of net earnings of CFL based upon their respective purchases from CFL. CFL was a variable interest entity that was consolidated in the Company's financial statements. On April 30, 2013, CF Industries completed the acquisitions of all of the outstanding interests in CFL that it did not already own and CFL became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
CF Industries' and Viterra's purchases of nitrogen fertilizer products from CFL were made under product purchase agreements, and the selling prices were determined under the provisions of these agreements. An initial selling price was paid to CFL based upon CFL's production cost plus an agreed-upon margin once title passed as the product was shipped. At the end of the year, the difference between the market price of products purchased from CFL and the price based on production cost plus an agreed-upon margin was paid to CFL. The sales revenue attributable to this difference was accrued by the Company on an interim basis. Until April 30, 2013 when CFL became a wholly owned subsidiary in the Company's financial statements, net sales and accounts receivable attributable to CFL were solely generated by transactions with Viterra, as all transactions with CF Industries were eliminated in consolidation in the Company's financial statements.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, the CFL Board of Directors approved amendments to the product purchase agreements retroactive to January 1, 2012 that modified the selling prices that CFL charged for products sold to Viterra and CF Industries which eliminated the requirement to pay to CFL the difference between the market price and the price based on production cost plus an agreed-upon margin. The following summarizes the selling prices in the product purchase agreements that impacted the Company's results both before and after the effective date of the amendment.
- As a result of the January 1, 2012 retroactive effective date of the amendment, the Company recognized in its “As reported” fourth quarter 2012 consolidated statement of operations a reduction in net sales to Viterra of $129.7 million and a corresponding reduction in net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest to reverse the interim market price accruals recognized in the first three quarters of 2012.
- For 2012 and between January 1, 2013 and April 30, 2013, the Company's consolidated financial statements reflect selling prices for products purchased from CFL including sales made by CFL to Viterra based on production cost plus an agreed-upon margin.
- Starting on April 30, 2013, CFL became a wholly owned subsidiary of CF Industries. Once CFL became a wholly owned subsidiary, CF Industries began purchasing all of the output of CFL for resale and reported those sales in its consolidated financial statements at market based selling prices.
As a result, the financial results for 2013 include four months of selling prices based on production cost plus an agreed-upon margin and eight months of market based selling prices. These selling price amendments to the product purchase agreements impact the comparability of the Company's financial results. These changes affect the year-over-year comparability of net sales, gross margin, operating earnings, earnings before income taxes and net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, but do not impact the comparability of the Company's net earnings attributable to common stockholders or net cash flows for the same period.
In order to provide comparable information for the periods presented, certain financial information is being provided for the prior year comparable periods adjusted as if the current year CFL pricing calculation pattern of four months of cost based pricing and eight months of market based pricing had been used in the prior year comparable periods.
The following table adjusts the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012 to be comparable to 2013 results.
