Current report
In our Potash segment, operating earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $194 million, compared to $174 million in the prior year. Operating results benefited from higher average selling prices in the current year period. Prices have improved due to tight global supply conditions and continued strength in international demand. Sales volumes in the current year period were consistent with the prior year, though the sales mix shifted toward international markets. Production volumes in the current year period were lower due to the timing of our annual maintenance turnaround at our Esterhazy, Saskatchewan facility.
Current report
In our Mosaic Fertilizantes segment, operating earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $109 million, compared to $61 million in the prior year. In the current year period, operating results reflect higher average selling prices driven by a favorable global pricing environment. We also benefited from production efficiency gains in our mining operations, which resulted in lower rock and conversion costs. Sales volumes were consistent with volumes in the prior year period. In July 2025, we opened a new blending facility in Palmeirante, Tocantins, Brazil, with a capacity to process one million tonnes of fertilizer annually, and approximately 500,000 tonnes in 2025. We expect the Palmeirante facility to be a key contributor to Mosaic's growth plans in Brazil.
Current report
Net income attributable to Mosaic for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $648.8 million, or $2.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(116.3) million, or $(0.36) per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 27% compared to the same period of the prior year. This result was primarily driven by higher average selling pricing across all segments, reflecting strong market dynamics, as well as cost efficiencies in our Mosaic Fertilizantes segment as discussed further below. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was favorably impacted by a foreign currency transaction gain of $302.5 million, compared to a loss of $(368.2) million in the prior year period. Net income also benefited from an unrealized mark-to-market gain of $99 million on the investment in Ma’aden shares, included in other income (expense). We did not hold this investment in the prior year period.
Current report
Operating results in our Phosphate segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 declined from the prior year. Higher input costs, notably sulfur, as well as higher unit conversion and maintenance turnaround expenses contributed to lower segment earnings in the current year period compared to the prior year period. Additionally, sales volumes were negatively impacted by planned downtime associated with the maintenance turnarounds. Operating results benefited from higher average selling prices for the six month period of the current year as prices continued the upward trend that began in the third quarter of 2023. This pricing strength reflects robust global demand and low inventory levels, which have supported favorable market conditions.
Current report
Operating results in our Potash segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were slightly lower than the prior year driven by higher production costs. This impact was partially offset by higher average selling prices in the current year period due to improved global markets.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating results in our Mosaic Fertilizantes segment were significantly more favorable compared to the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year performance reflects a favorable global pricing environment driven by the tight global supply. This benefit was partially offset by the impact of higher purchased product costs for resale. Additionally, sales volumes increased compared to the prior year underscoring strong market demand and effective commercial execution.
Current report
Our average finished product selling price increased 15% to $665 per tonne for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $578 per tonne in the prior year period, due to the factors discussed in the Overview.
Current report
Gross margin for the Phosphate segment decreased to $103.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $153.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Gross margin in the current year period was unfavorably impacted by higher sulfur and ammonia costs of approximately $50 million, higher costs for maintenance turnarounds of approximately $50 million, higher conversion costs of approximately $40 million and lower finished goods sales volumes of approximately $15 million. In addition, $25 million in other plant-related costs and lower rock sales volumes of $20 million reduced gross margin. These changes were partially offset by the benefited from stronger average selling prices in the current year period which impacted gross margin by approximately $130 million and lower blended rock costs of approximately $30 million compared to the prior year period.
Current report
Six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024
Current report
The Phosphate segment’s net sales were $2,271.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2,348.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net sales were impacted by lower finished goods sales volumes which reduced net sales by approximately $170 million. In addition, lower rock sales prices and volumes had an unfavorable impact of approximately $40 million compared to the prior year period. These impacts were partially offset by approximately $190 million due to higher finished product selling prices in the current period.
Current report
Our average finished product selling price was $649 per tonne for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $63 per tonne from the same period a year ago, due to the factors discussed in the Overview.
Current report
The Phosphate segment’s sales volumes of finished products decreased by 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year due to the impact of planned maintenance and turnaround activity.
Current report
Gross margin for the Phosphate segment decreased to $270.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $313.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The year over year decline was driven by higher raw material costs, notably sulfur, which reduced gross margin by approximately $70 million, and higher conversion costs of approximately $65 million. Lower finished goods and rock sales volumes unfavorably impacted gross margin by approximately $45 million. Additionally, current period gross margin was reduced by approximately $40 million related to maintenance turnarounds, $35 million in higher plant costs and increased freight costs of approximately $10 million. These impacts were partially offset by favorable impacts from higher finished goods sales prices of approximately $190 million and lower blended rock costs of approximately $40 million.
Current report
The average consumed price for ammonia for our North America operations was $430 per tonne for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $415 per tonne in the same period a year ago. The average consumed price for sulfur for our North America operations increased to $184 per long ton for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $136 per long ton in the same period a year ago.

The Phosphate segment’s production of crop nutrient dry concentrates and animal feed ingredients decreased by 10%, to 2.9 million tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 3.3 million tonnes in the prior year period due to planned maintenance downtime in the current year. Our operating rate for processed phosphate production decreased to 59% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from 68% for the same period in 2023.
Current report
The Potash segment’s net sales increased to $710.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $663.1 million in the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to higher average selling prices which favorably impacted net sales by approximately $80 million compared to the same period in the prior year. This was partially offset by lower revenue for freight and other products of $30 million.
Current report
The Potash segment’s sales volumes of finished products were 2.3 million tonnes for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024.
Current report
Gross margin for the Potash segment increased to $209.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a 12% increase from $186.4 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by higher selling prices, which contributed $80 million and lower Canadian resources taxes of approximately $5 million, compared to the prior year period. These benefits were partially offset by $35 million of higher conversion costs, and $15 million in increased idle and turnaround costs attributable to the timing of the annual maintenance turnaround at our Esterhazy, Saskatchewan mine in the current year. Additionally, gross margin was unfavorably impacted by approximately $10 million due to lower freight rates and lower domestic sales volumes compared to the prior year.
Current report

The Potash segment’s sales volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 1% compared to the same period a year ago.
Current report
Gross margin for the Potash segment decreased to $378.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $398.1 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily driven by higher conversion costs of approximately $40 million and higher turnaround and idle costs of approximately $10 million due to the timing of turnarounds. Additionally, lower freight rates and reduced sales volumes negatively impacted gross margin by approximately $10 million, and $5 million, respectively, compared to the prior year period. These reductions were partially offset by a $30 million benefit from higher average selling prices and $20 million of lower Canadian resource taxes and royalties in the current year period.
Current report
We incurred $109.0 million in Canadian resource taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $131.3 million in the same period a year ago. Canadian royalty expense decreased to $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The fluctuations in Canadian resource taxes and royalties are due to the decreases in our sales revenues and margin.
Current report
Our operating rate was 76% for the current year period, compared to 79% in the prior year period. Current year production was impacted by planned maintenance downtime during the first half of the year.
Current report
Gross margin for the Mosaic Fertilizantes segment increased to $161.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $101.8 million in the same period of the previous year. This increase was primarily driven by higher average selling prices during the current year period, which contributed approximately $125 million, and lower production costs, mainly rock costs, of approximately $40 million. These increases were partially offset by approximately $105 million of higher costs for distribution products.

Current report
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $38.8 million compared to the same period of prior year. The increase was primarily driven by bad debt reserves of $33 million in our Mosaic Fertilizantes segment, along with higher incentive compensation of approximately $10 million in the current year period.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had other operating expenses of $107.0 million, compared to $32.3 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase from the prior year was driven by a $44 million upward revision in estimated closure costs for our asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) at our closed facilities, and approximately $40 million in additional environmental reserves for water treatment costs, primarily in our Phosphate segment. These increases were partially offset by insurance recoveries of approximately $15 million related to customer receivables in our Mosaic Fertizilantes segment.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, other operating expense decreased to $134.3 million, from $151.8 million in the same period of the prior year due to lower environmental reserves in the current year period.

Previous report
In our Potash segment, operating earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $157 million compared to $198 million in the prior year. Operating results were lower than the prior year, primarily due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volumes in the current year period. Average selling prices have increased compared to the end of 2024, but are below the levels of the same period in the prior year due to global supply. Sales and production volumes in the current year period were negatively impacted by weather related logistical constraints.
Previous report
In our Mosaic Fertilizantes segment, operating earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $99 million, compared to $42 million in the prior year. In the current year period, operating results were favorably impacted by cost improvements. We benefited from lower purchased product costs in our distribution business and production efficiency gains in our mining operations which resulted in lower rock costs. Sales volumes increased over the prior year period as demand in the Brazil agricultural market recovered from the weakness seen in the prior year period.
Previous report
Gross margin for the Phosphate segment increased to $167.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $159.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in gross margin in the current year period was primarily due to higher average finished goods selling prices, which had a favorable impact of approximately $60 million versus the prior year. Gross margin also benefited from lower blended rock costs of approximately $10 million compared to the prior year. These impacts were partially offset by higher conversion costs of approximately $20 million, higher sulfur and ammonia costs of approximately $15 million, and lower sales volumes, which were unfavorable by approximately $10 million. Lower sales volumes at Miski Mayo also unfavorably impacted gross margin by approximately $10 million compared to the prior year.
Previous report
The Potash segment’s net sales decreased to $570.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $643.1 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to lower selling prices and sales volumes, which had unfavorable impacts on net sales of approximately $50 million and $20 million, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Previous report
The Potash segment’s sales volumes of finished products decreased to 2.1 million tonnes for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2.2 million tonnes in the same period a year ago, due to weather-related constraints as discussed in the Overview.
Previous report
Gross margin for the Potash segment decreased to $168.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $211.7 million in the same period of the prior year. Lower selling prices decreased gross margin by approximately $50 million versus the prior year period. Gross margin was also unfavorably impacted by approximately $10 million, due to lower sales volumes compared to the prior year, and an additional $10 million due to higher conversion costs in the current period. These impacts were partially offset by lower Canadian resource taxes and royalties of approximately $20 million and lower idle and turnaround costs, due to the timing of turnarounds, of approximately $10 million compared to the prior year period.
Previous report
Our average finished product selling price was $452 per tonne for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $463 per tonne for the same period a year ago due to the factors discussed in the Overview.
Previous report
Gross margin for the Mosaic Fertilizantes segment increased to $127.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $75.2 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to $65 million of lower costs driven by a decrease in product costs for our distribution business, and lower rock costs in our production business. This was partially offset by approximately $20 million related to the decrease in average selling prices during the current year period, driven primarily by pricing to retail customers.
Previous report
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had other operating expense of $27.3 million, compared to $119.5 million for the same period of the prior year. The decrease from the prior year is due to environmental reserves of approximately $77 million in our Phosphate segment in the prior year period with no comparable increase in the current year period.

The following table shows the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024:
Previous wording
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Mosaic had net income of $238.1 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to net income of $45.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the prior year period. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased 22% compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by higher average selling pricing in our Phosphates segment and cost improvements in our Mosaic Fertilizantes segment as discussed further below. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was favorably impacted by a foreign currency transaction gain of $133.1 million, compared to a foreign currency transaction loss of $100.3 million in the prior year period. This is mostly offset by an unrealized mark to market loss of $117 million on the investment in shares of Ma'aden, included in other expense. We we did not hold this investment in the prior year period.
Current wording
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Mosaic had net income of $410.7 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(161.5) million, or $(0.50) per diluted share, for the prior year period. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 32% compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by higher average selling prices across all segments, reflecting strong market dynamics and cost efficiencies in our Mosaic Fertilizantes segment as discussed further below. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was favorably impacted by a foreign currency transaction gain of $169.4 million, compared to a foreign currency transaction loss of $267.9 million in the prior year period. Net income also benefited from an unrealized mark-to-market gain of $216 million on the investment in Ma’aden shares, included in other income (expense). We did not hold this investment in the prior year period.
Previous wording
In our Phosphate segment, operating earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $139 million compared to $40 million in the prior year period. In the current year period, operating results were favorably impacted by higher average selling prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes and higher conversion and raw material costs. Higher average selling prices were driven by strong global demand and low inventory levels in the current year period. Additionally, selling prices in the current year period were influenced by higher sulfur and ammonia costs, which are driven by global supply and demand. Sales volumes in the current year period were unfavorably impacted by low production levels due to planned downtime for maintenance turnarounds.
Current wording
In our Phosphate segment, we reported an operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025 of $(8) million compared to operating earnings of $133 million in the prior year period. The decline was driven by increased provisions for water treatment costs and an increase to asset retirement obligations for closed facilities based on approved permitting for injection wells, which more than offset the benefit of improved pricing. Higher average selling prices in the current year were supported by tight global supply conditions, including low inventory levels and export restrictions from China. Additionally, selling prices in the current year period were influenced by higher sulfur and ammonia costs, which are driven by global supply and demand. Extended planned downtime for maintenance turnarounds unfavorably impacted sales volumes in the current year period. Higher unit conversion and raw material costs further reduced operating results in the current year period.
Previous wording
Corporate, Eliminations and Other had an operating loss of $(56) million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a loss of $(107) million in the prior year.

The Phosphate segment’s net sales were $1.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in net sales in the current year period was primarily due to lower finished goods sales volumes, which had an unfavorable impact of approximately $100 million. In addition, Miski Mayo operations had an unfavorable impact of approximately $25 million compared to the prior year due to lower sales volumes. These impacts were partially offset by higher average finished goods sales prices, which had a favorable impact on net sales of approximately $60 million.
Current wording
The Phosphate segment’s net sales were $1,173.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1,179.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The slight year-over-year decline reflects an impact of approximately $80 million from lower finished goods sales volumes along with approximately $30 million in lower freight and other product revenue and a $20 million decrease in sales volumes of rock. These impacts were largely offset by higher average finished goods sales prices which had a favorable impact on net sales of approximately $130 million, compared to the prior year period.
