  6. Slide 6: Extraordinary period for agribusiness

    I do not need to tell any of you here that we are in an extraordinary period of time for agribusiness. In fact, I expect you would need to look back decades – to the time of the farm crisis -- to find a period when agribusiness was as prominently and persistently in the news as it is today. Ironical

  8. Slide 8: Background on The Mosaic Company

    Let me first share some background about The Mosaic Company. We are the largest producer of phosphate and potash in the world. In 2007, we produced more than 17 million metric tonnesof finished phosphate and potash products for our crop nutrient, animal feed and industrial customers around the globe

  10. Slide 10: Factors behind the food security shock

    As I said earlier, the recent global food shock we are facing translates into an extraordinary opportunity for Mosaic. To understand why, consider the factors responsible for the food security shock. •First, for years now –7 of the last 8 in fact –global grain and oilseed use has exceeded production

  12. Slide 12: The Rich Get Hungrier

    The fundamental demand driver for our business is summed up handily in a headline from a May 28 op-ed piece in The New York Times: “The Rich Get Hungrier”. This op-ed, written by Nobel Prize winning economist, Amartya Sen, goes on to point out that the global food shock is the result of accelerating

  14. Slide 14: Middle class growth and biofuels

    The middle class in China and India is projected to increase by 1.1 billion people between 2005 and 2025. This will result in a systemic change in grain and oilseed demand that we have never experienced till now. We are convinced this will have a lasting impact on both demand for grains, food and th

  15. Slide 15: Double Digit Nutrient Demand Growth

  16. Slide 16: Biofuels and middle class drive nutrient demand

    Combine the boost from biofuelswith the growth in the global middle classes and you get growing and sustainable global demand for crop nutrients. Eating is not a fad that will pass – the world will not get less hungry. New biofuel mandates only add pressure to produce still more grain and oilseeds.

  18. Slide 18: Global grain and oilseed stocks decline

    Additionally, global grain and oilseed stocks have declined significantly this decade despite the large increases in planted area and crop yields. To the point, stocks are now at dangerously low levels. Global grain and oilseed production increased 3.7% to a record 2.5 billion tonnes last year, acco

  20. Slide 20: Supply side constraints

    I’ve now covered the DEMAND side of the market fundamentals in our business. Now let me turn to the SUPPLY side and, in particular, the constraints on crop nutrient production. Crop nutrient producers, especially in phosphates, are not equipped to quickly meet the current demand surge. Thin margins

  22. Slide 22: Supply and demand drive price increases

    The combination of the supply and demand fundamentals have driven significant selling price increases this past year. Strong demand-pull and cost-push pressures have lifted phosphate prices to uncharted levels. Prices have increased in two large steps during the last twelve months. Potash selling pr

  24. Slide 24: What this means for farmers

    So what does all this mean for our ultimate customer? There are two phrases to describe the current crop nutrient situation for farmers - a great investment and essential. Crop nutrients are costly today. But the costs are substantially offset by record crop prices. That means farmers are getting a

  26. Slide 26: Farm economics remain positive

    Our analysis shows that farm economics remain positive in all ofthe major crop nutrient markets. In India, grain prices have increased but retail fertilizer prices are fixed at low levels. Farm economics and nutrient demand prospects in India are as strong as anywhere in the world. In China, Thailan

  28. Slide 28: Low stocks make crop nutrients essential

    While market and economic factors make crop nutrients a great investment, the low grain and oil seed stocks make crop nutrients essential. Markets are telling farmers around the world to rev up the engine of agriculture production to meet accelerating demand growth. Crop nutrients are critical to tu

  30. Slide 30: Mosaic's strengths aligned with opportunity

    As I mentioned earlier, Mosaic’s specific strengths are well aligned with the opportunities now before the industry. The same three words describing the current industry environment can also be used to describe how Mosaic is capitalizing on this opportunity. Fundamental execution is driving our busi

  36. Slide 36: Potash as an exceptional business

    We’ve talked a lot today about the sustainability of market place demand drivers. But there’s another dimension to the sustainability of Mosaic’s performance -one that is often under- appreciated - and it can be summarized in a single word -potash. Simply put, it is an exceptional business. 18

  38. Slide 38: Potash production and demand

    Potash is produced in only 12 countries in the world and world trade accounts for more than 80% of global use. Agricultural giants such as China, India and Brazil are all import dependent. In calendar year 2007, we produced about 14% of the world’s potash fertilizer at our five mine sites across Nor

  40. Slide 40: Saskatchewan potash expansions

    Earlier this spring, we announced further expansions to our existing Saskatchewan potash mines as one of our key strategic priorities. Upon completion of these expansions, we estimate our total annual capacity will be approximately15.5 million tonnes. This amount does not include the 1.3 million ton

  42. Slide 42: Phosphates scale and vertical integration

    Mosaic’s Phosphates business possesses its own very attractive attributes due to its sheer size and the benefits of vertical integration –our owned rock reserves -granulation capacity –and a world wide distribution network.. We produce about 15% of the world’s phosphate fertilizer and account for mo

  44. Slide 44: Vertical integration competitive advantage

    Our vertical integration provides an increasingly large competitive advantage over many other producers. We own and mine our own phosphate rock and have invested in our sulfur infrastructure, which has paid off during these times of tight sulfur supply. Non-integrated producers account for almost on

  46. Slide 46: Mosaic costs versus non-integrated producers

    But while Mosaic’s costs have increased, they are nowhere near the estimated costs for an Indian non- integrated DAP producer. For such a non-integrated producer, we estimate the cash costs are more than a $1,000 per tonne! The phosphate supply/demand situation looks tight for the next several years

  47. Slide 47: Financial Guidance – Fiscal 2009

    Financial Guidance – Fiscal 2009 FY 2009 Phosphate Sales Volume 9.0 - 9.4 million tonnes 24

  48. Slide 48: Phosphate sales volume guidance

    Now, turning to guidance for fiscal 2009. I’ll highlight a few items. We have begun fiscal 2009 at extremely low inventory levels for both phosphate and potash. We expect that we will need to build our inventories to achieve the sales volumes we have planned for fiscal 2009. Phosphate sales volumes

    Financial Guidance – Fiscal 2009 FY 2009 Phosphate Sales Volume 9.0 - 9.4 million tonnes Potash Sales Volume 8.2 - 8.6 million tonnes 25

  50. Slide 50: Potash volumes and selling prices

    Potash sales volumes are expected to be 8.2 to 8.6 million tonnes. Work toward our previously announced potash capacity expansion projects will be underway in fiscal 2009; however, production from the first of the expansions will not come on line until fiscal 2010. This volume estimate assumes opera

  52. Slide 52: Capital spending guidance

    Capital spending for fiscal 2009 will grow significantly -- to a range of $900 million to $1.1 billion. This is more than double historical rates. We will undertake high return on invested capital opportunities. These include expanding potash capacity, as we discussed earlier --and reducing phosphat

  54. Slide 54: Canadian resource taxes and royalties

    We are also providing guidance on Canadian resource taxes and royalties for fiscal 2009. Our surging potash profitability and escalating potash selling prices will result in higher resource taxes and royalties than in previous years. We estimate Canadian resource taxes and royalties will range from
