CF Industries delivered a much stronger quarter, with net sales of $1.986 billion and net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $615 million, up from $312 million a year earlier. Gross margin rose to $746 million as average selling prices increased 28% to $424 per ton despite slightly lower volumes.
Results were boosted by a $170 million litigation settlement gain, $25 million of insurance recoveries tied to the Yazoo City incident, and $24 million of 45Q carbon capture tax credits. The company ended the quarter with $2.042 billion in cash against $3.216 billion of long‑term debt and an undrawn $750 million revolver.
CF is investing heavily in low‑carbon ammonia, including its Donaldsonville carbon capture project and the Blue Point joint venture, where the ATR ammonia plant is estimated to cost $3.7 billion. Management highlights tight global nitrogen markets driven by strong demand, Middle East supply disruptions, and natural gas volatility, while also noting new NPK antitrust lawsuits and evolving U.S. tariff policy as key external risks.
CF Industries Holdings, Inc. filed a Form 8-K stating that it will host a conference call on May 7, 2026 to discuss its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. A related investor presentation dated May 6, 2026 is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is not deemed filed for liability purposes.
CF Industries Holdings, Inc. reported strong first quarter 2026 results, driven by tight global nitrogen markets and high plant utilization. Net earnings attributable to common stockholders were $615 million, or $3.98 per diluted share, compared with $312 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, a year earlier. EBITDA was $1.01 billion and adjusted EBITDA was $983 million, helped by an approximately $170 million litigation settlement gain.
Net sales rose to $1.99 billion from $1.66 billion as average selling prices increased across ammonia, granular urea and UAN, offsetting lower volumes in some products. Gross margin improved to $746 million, or 37.6% of sales, despite higher maintenance and natural gas costs, including impacts from the ongoing Yazoo City outage.
The company generated trailing twelve-month net cash from operating activities of $2.66 billion and free cash flow of $1.65 billion. It ended March 31, 2026 with $2.04 billion of cash and cash equivalents, repurchased about 155,000 shares for $15 million, and had roughly $1.7 billion remaining under its $2 billion buyback program. Management projects about $1.3 billion of 2026 capital expenditures, including major investment in the Blue Point low-carbon ammonia joint venture.
