Nutrien Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results

Continued operational excellence supports higher cash generated from operations Increased cash returns to shareholders Completed strategic review of our Phosphate business All amounts are in US dollars, except as otherwise noted Company Website: https://www.nutrien.com SASKATOON, Saskatchewan -- (Business Wire) Nutrien Ltd. (TSX and NYSE: NTR) announced today its third quarter 2026 results, with net earnings of $0.29 billion ($0.60 diluted net earnings per share). Third quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA1 was $1.31 billion and adjusted net earnings per share1 was $0.61. In the first nine months of 2026, we generated net earnings of $1.65 billion and adjusted EBITDA1 of $4.85 billion. “Nutrien delivered structural earnings growth and increased cash returns to shareholders in the first nine months of 2026, supported by record potash sales volumes, strong proprietary products gross margins and a continued focus on operational excellence,” commented Ken Seitz, Nutrien’s President and CEO. “We have taken decisive actions on our portfolio optimization initiatives that will enhance earnings quality and support long-term growth in free cash flow per share.” Highlights2: Retail adjusted EBITDA increased to $1.44 billion in the first nine months of 2026 due to higher proprietary products gross margins and a strong livestock market in Australia, partially offset by lower crop nutrient sales volumes and higher fuel costs. Potash adjusted EBITDA increased to $1.97 billion in the first nine months of 2026 due to higher global benchmarks and strong operational and supply chain execution that supported record sales volumes. Nitrogen adjusted EBITDA decreased to $1.61 billion in the first nine months of 2026 due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher global nitrogen benchmarks and lower natural gas costs. Production from our low-cost North American nitrogen plants was consistent with our plan, including execution of planned turnarounds at three nitrogen sites. Cash provided by operating activities increased by 17 percent in the first nine months of 2026. We returned $1.3 billion to shareholders in the first nine months of 2026 through dividends and share repurchases, including a 36 percent increase in share repurchases. We repurchased approximately $83 million of common shares in the fourth quarter as of November 3, 2026.   1 This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section. All references to per share amounts pertain to diluted net earnings per share, unless otherwise noted. 2 Our discussion of highlights set out on this page is a comparison of the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, unless otherwise noted. Strategic Actions: Consistent with our aim to simplify our portfolio and focus on core assets that enhance earnings quality and free cash flow, we completed a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives for our Phosphate business. Following this review, we have determined the optimal path in the current environment is to retain and further optimize our Aurora and integrated upgrade facilities, while shutting down operations at our White Springs facility in the second quarter of 2027. We believe these actions best position Nutrien to enhance shareholder value. Aurora and Upgrade Facilities We received strong interest and a number of non-binding bids as part of the strategic review process; however, following a careful evaluation of the alternatives, we concluded that the proposals received did not adequately reflect the long-term value of the assets. Aurora is a world-class facility with approximately 1.2 million tonnes of P₂O₅ capacity, a high-quality resource base, long reserve life and one of the industry's most diversified phosphate product portfolios. We will continue to build on the strengths of Aurora and our integrated upgrade facilities through operational excellence initiatives that support higher operating rates and product mix optimization that further enhance margins and free cash flow. White Springs Facility We have made the decision to shut down operations at our White Springs facility in the second quarter of 2027. Management determined this to be the optimal path as the White Springs mine approaches the end of its economically recoverable reserve life, which has resulted in increasing operating costs and capital requirements. We expect an improvement in adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow as a result of this decision, as lower operating costs and reduced capital requirements more than offset lower sales and shutdown-related costs. In 2026, White Springs is expected to account for approximately 20 percent of our Phosphate sales and 28 percent of operating segment cost of goods sold. The closure is expected to reduce annual sustaining capital expenditures and lease payments by approximately $50 million.

This MD&A is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 (“interim financial statements”) based on International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, unless otherwise noted. This MD&A contains certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios and forward-looking statements, which are described in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the “Forward-Looking Statements” sections, respectively. Market Outlook and Guidance Agriculture and Retail Markets Global agricultural fundamentals continue to be supported by robust grain and oilseed demand. Regional variability in weather conditions, including ongoing El Niño impacts, and geopolitical uncertainty are contributing to increased volatility in crop production and trade flows. Tightening global supply and demand fundamentals are expected to support grower economics in 2027. In North America, fertilizer demand is expected to be supported by the need to replenish nutrients removed from recent strong crop production and improved prospective crop economics. Following a delayed start to harvest in some geographies, we assume the recent acceleration in the pace of field activity will support a normal fall fertilizer application window in 2026. In Australia, favorable crop conditions and strong livestock economics are supporting grower demand for retail products and services. In Brazil, planting conditions have supported expectations for stable to modestly higher soybean and corn planted area. While forward crop economics have improved, farmer purchasing activity continues to be affected by constrained credit availability and weaker farmer balance sheets. Crop Nutrient Markets Global potash market fundamentals remain constructive, supported by favorable affordability and healthy demand in major importing regions. We have maintained our forecast for global potash shipments of 74 to 77 million tonnes in 2026. We expect continued global potash demand growth in line with historical consumption trends and forecast global potash shipments of 75 to 79 million tonnes in 2027. Global nitrogen market fundamentals are expected to remain tight heading into 2027, driven by ongoing trade flow disruptions, production outages, import demand from key consuming regions such as India and Brazil, and elevated energy prices. Recent market dynamics have been impacted by just-in-time purchasing, Indian tenders and higher Chinese export quotas. Global phosphate market fundamentals continue to be affected by trade flow disruptions, constrained sulfur feedstock availability and elevated costs, which have placed unsustainable pressure on phosphate producer margins and have resulted in reduced global operating rates. Financial and Operational Guidance Retail adjusted EBITDA guidance revised to $1.72 to $1.85 billion, primarily reflecting lower crop nutrients gross margins in the third quarter of 2026. We expect a stronger North American fall fertilizer application season in 2026 due to improved prospective crop economics and assume a normal application window compared to the weather shortened period in 2025. Potash sales volume guidance increased to 14.3 to 14.8 million tonnes due to the continued strength of global demand and the range is consistent with our historical share of global shipments. Nitrogen sales volume guidance increased to 9.3 to 9.7 million tonnes and is supported by planned reliability improvements and debottlenecking initiatives. The range reflects higher expected ammonia operating rates in the fourth quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year. Phosphate sales volume guidance lowered to 2.40 to 2.55 million tonnes due to a deferral in customer demand and lower operating rates at White Springs. Total capital expenditures guidance lowered to $1.95 to $2.00 billion reflecting a focus on capital efficiency and structurally growing free cash flow. Effective tax rate on adjusted net earnings guidance was increased to 25.5 to 27.0 percent reflecting a shift in geographic earnings mix. All guidance expectations, including those noted above, are outlined in the table below. Refer to page 33 of our 2025 Annual Report for anticipated fertilizer pricing and natural gas price sensitivities relating to adjusted EBITDA (consolidated) and adjusted net earnings per share.   2026 Guidance Ranges1 as of   November 4, 2026   August 5, 2026 ($ billions, except as otherwise noted) Low High   Low   High Retail adjusted EBITDA 1.72 1.85   1.75   1.95 Potash sales volumes (million tonnes)2 14.3 14.8   14.2   14.8 Nitrogen sales volumes (million tonnes)2 9.3 9.7   9.2   9.7 Phosphate sales volumes (million tonnes)2 2.40 2.55   2.40   2.60 Depreciation and amortization 2.40 2.45   2.40   2.50 Finance costs 0.70 0.75   0.65   0.75 Effective tax rate on adjusted net earnings (%)3 25.5 27.0   24.0   26.0 Capital expenditures4 1.95 2.00   1.95   2.05 1 See the “Forward-Looking Statements” section. 2 Manufactured product only. 3 This is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA increased in the first nine months of 2026, primarily due to higher global fertilizer benchmarks and record Potash sales volumes, partially offset by reduced Nitrogen sales volumes and higher sulfur costs. Net earnings decreased in the first nine months of 2026, primarily due to the same factors impacting adjusted EBITDA and higher finance costs and income taxes as compared to the same period of 2025. Net earnings and adjusted EBITDA decreased in the third quarter of 2026, primarily due to lower Phosphate and Nitrogen earnings compared to the same period in 2025. Segment Results Our discussion of segment results set out on the following pages is a comparison of the results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 to the results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, unless otherwise noted.

Retail adjusted EBITDA increased in the first nine months of 2026 due to higher proprietary products gross margins and a strong livestock market in Australia, partially offset by lower crop nutrient sales volumes and higher fuel costs. Retail adjusted EBITDA decreased in the third quarter of 2026 mainly due to lower crop nutrients gross margins. Proprietary products gross margins were impacted by a shorter plant health season in North America and weather-related impacts in Brazil.   Three Months Ended September 30   Nine Months Ended September 30   Sales   Gross Margin   Sales   Gross Margin ($ millions) 2026   2025   2026   2025   2026   2025   2026   2025 Crop nutrients 1,188   1,188   175   220   6,212   5,773   1,120   1,136 Crop protection products 1,519   1,536   413   399   5,411   5,174   1,346   1,266 Seed 136   156   19   24   1,976   1,966   345   360 Services and other 263   258   186   178   746   690   586   531 Merchandise 266   222   47   34   780   649   132   109 Nutrien Financial 87   89   87   89   312   294   312   294 Nutrien Financial elimination1 (16)   (22)   (16)   (22)   (84)   (70)   (84)   (70) Total 3,443   3,427   911   922   15,353   14,476   3,757   3,626 1 Represents elimination of the interest and service fees charged by Nutrien Financial to Retail branches. Crop nutrients sales increased in the first nine months of 2026 due to higher selling prices. Sales were flat and gross margin decreased in the third quarter of 2026 due to lower international sales volumes and reduced gross margin per tonne, reflecting the impact of the sell through of higher cost nitrogen inventory. Crop protection products sales and gross margin increased in the first nine months of 2026 due to higher proprietary products sales and gross margins. Sales and gross margin in the third quarter of 2026 were supported by increased demand in Australia, partially offset by lower sales volumes impacted by a shorter plant health season in North America. Seed gross margin decreased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 due to product mix shifts and lower sales volumes in Brazil driven by strategic actions and weather-related impacts. Services and other sales and gross margin increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 due to a strong livestock market in Australia.

Net selling price per tonne increased in the first nine months of 2026 for all major nitrogen products due to stronger global benchmark prices. In the third quarter of 2026, ammonia net selling price was higher due to stronger benchmark prices, partially offset by lower global benchmark prices for most upgraded products compared to the same period of 2025. Cost of goods sold per tonne was lower in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 primarily due to lower overall natural gas costs, which reflects a higher proportion of production from our low-cost North American nitrogen plants compared to the same periods in 2025.

See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section. Sales volumes increased in the first nine months of 2026, driven by reliability improvements at Aurora and a reduction in inventory levels. Sales volumes decreased in the third quarter of 2026 due to timing of sales and lower operating rates at White Springs. Net selling price per tonne increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 due to stronger global benchmark prices. Industrial and feed realizations outperformed, reflecting the typical lag between price realizations and benchmark movements. Cost of goods sold per tonne increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 primarily due to higher sulfur input costs.

Share-based compensation expense was higher in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 due to an increase in the fair value of our share-based awards. The fair value of our share-based awards takes into consideration several factors, such as our share price movement, our performance relative to our peer group and our return on invested capital. Other (income) expenses was a recovery in the third quarter and a lower expense in the first nine months of 2026 due to gains on dispositions related to portfolio optimization initiatives and a change in discount rates which lowered our asset retirement obligations related to non-operating sites.

The effective tax rate including discrete items increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 due to a change in the proportion of earnings (loss) between tax jurisdictions. Other comprehensive income (loss) is primarily driven by changes in the currency of our foreign operations. In the first nine months of 2026, lower income was due to lower appreciation of Australian and Brazilian currencies and depreciation of the Canadian currency, relative to the US dollar, compared to the same period in 2025. Liquidity and Capital Resources Sources and uses of liquidity We continued to manage our capital in accordance with our current capital allocation priorities. We believe that our internally generated cash flow, supplemented by available borrowings under new or existing financing sources, if necessary, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital expenditures, planned growth and development activities, and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future. Refer to the “Capital Structure and Management” section for details on our existing long-term debt and credit facilities.

See the “Other Financial Measures” section. Cash (used in) provided by operating activities Was consistent in the third quarter of 2026 when compared to the third quarter of 2025. Increased in the first nine months of 2026 due to higher global fertilizer benchmarks and record Potash sales volumes, partially offset by reduced Nitrogen sales volumes and higher sulfur costs. Cash used in investing activities Increased in the third quarter of 2026, primarily due to the absence of proceeds received for the sale of our investment in Profertil recognized in the comparable period. Increased in the first nine months of 2026, primarily due to the absence of proceeds from the sale of our investments in Sinofert Holdings Limited and Profertil recognized in the comparable period. Cash provided by (used in) financing activities Increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 due to higher commercial paper issuances. In addition, we repaid senior notes maturing in the first nine months of 2025 with no comparable repayment in the first nine months of 2026. Cash used for dividends and share repurchases Increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 due to higher share repurchases.     Financial Condition Review The following is a comparison of balance sheet categories that are considered material:   As at         ($ millions, except as otherwise noted) September 30, 2026     December 31, 2025   $ Change   % Change Assets                 Cash and cash equivalents 919     701   218   31 Receivables 8,216     5,675   2,541   45 Inventories 5,701     6,977   (1,276)   (18) Prepaid expenses and other current assets 442     1,396   (954)   (68) Property, plant and equipment 22,778     22,747   31   ‐ Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity                 Short-term debt 1,972     873   1,099   126 Trade, other payables and accrued liabilities 7,065     9,309   (2,244)   (24) Long-term debt, including current portion 10,834     9,863   971   10 Share capital 13,361     13,519   (158)   (1) Retained earnings 12,575     12,076   499   4 Explanations for changes in Cash and cash equivalents are in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Sources and uses of cash” section. Receivables increased primarily due to the seasonality of Retail sales and higher usage of Nutrien Financial programs. Inventories decreased due to the seasonality of our Retail segment. Our North American inventory levels generally increase at year-end, peak in the first quarter of the year in preparation for the planting and application seasons, and are drawn down in the succeeding quarters. Prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased due to Retail taking delivery of prepaid inventories during the planting and application season in North America. Short-term debt increased due to higher commercial paper issuances to support working capital requirements driven by the seasonality of our business. Trade, other payables and accrued liabilities decreased due to the settlement of our Retail supplier financing arrangements in 2026 that were entered into in the fourth quarter of 2025 and lower customer prepayments in North America as Retail customers took delivery of inventory. Long-term debt, including current portion, increased due to the issuance of $1.0 billion of senior notes in the second quarter of 2026, the net proceeds of which were used to repay short-term debt. Retained earnings increased as net earnings exceeded dividends declared and share repurchases in the first nine months of 2026. Capital Structure and Management Principal debt instruments As part of the normal course of business, we closely monitor our liquidity position. We use a combination of cash generated from operations and short-term and long-term debt to finance our operations. We continually evaluate various financing arrangements and may seek to engage in transactions from time to time when market and other conditions are favorable. We were in compliance with our debt covenants and did not have any changes to our credit ratings for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

In North America, we have a commercial paper program, which is limited to the undrawn amount under our $4,500 million unsecured revolving term credit facility and excess cash invested in highly liquid securities. As at September 30, 2026, we utilized $1,972 million of our total facility limit, which includes $1,624 million outstanding under our commercial paper program. During the first nine months of 2026, we extended the maturity of our $4,500 million unsecured committed revolving term credit facility from September 4, 2030, to September 4, 2031. We also extended the maturity of our accounts receivable purchase facility from March 6, 2026, to March 31, 2028, terminated our $500 million unsecured committed revolving term credit facility upon its maturity on September 2, 2026, and entered into a $69 million uncommitted revolving demand facility. As at September 30, 2026, $231 million in letters of credit were outstanding and committed, with $258 million of remaining credit available under our letter of credit facilities. Our long-term debt consists primarily of notes and debentures. See the “Capital Structure and Management” section of our 2025 Annual Report for information on balances, rates and maturities for our notes and debentures. During the first nine months of 2026, we issued $500 million of 4.850 percent senior notes due May 29, 2031 and $500 million of 5.350 percent senior notes due May 29, 2036.

Subsequent Events Phosphate business Consistent with our aim to simplify our portfolio and focus on core assets that enhance earnings quality and free cash flow, we completed a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives for our Phosphate business. Following this review, we have determined the optimal path in the current environment is to retain and further optimize our Aurora and integrated upgrade facilities, while shutting down operations at our White Springs facility in the second quarter of 2027. Management determined this to be the optimal path as the White Springs mine approaches the end of its economically recoverable reserve life, which has resulted in increasing operating costs and capital requirements. The carrying value of the total assets1 in White Springs that will be assessed for impairment is $430 million as at September 30, 2026. We expect to recognize expenses in the fourth quarter of 2026, which include non-cash asset impairments. We also expect to incur expenses related to severance and other shutdown costs. Trinidad On October 5, 2026, we announced the indefinite shutdown of our Trinidad nitrogen facility following an extensive review of strategic alternatives and engagement with relevant stakeholders. The carrying value of the total assets1 in Trinidad that will be assessed for impairment is $760 million as at September 30, 2026. We expect to recognize expenses in the fourth quarter of 2026, which include non-cash asset and goodwill impairments. We also expect to incur expenses related to severance and other shutdown costs. 1 Excludes goodwill and certain other assets that may be allocated as part of ongoing impairment and valuation assessments.

See Note 2 to the interim financial statements. Accounting Policies, New IFRS Standards and Future Accounting Pronouncements Significant accounting policies are disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report and have been consistently applied for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, except as described below. Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, were adopted effective January 1, 2026, the required adoption date. The impact was not material. On initial adoption, there was an adjustment of $(13) million to opening cash and cash equivalents as at January 1, 2026, which has been reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18) effective January 1, 2027 We continue to advance our implementation activities, including assessing changes to financial statement presentation and disclosures and the related changes required to reporting processes and systems. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have discussed the development, selection and application of our key accounting policies, and the critical accounting estimates and assumptions they involve, with the Audit Committee of the Board. Our critical accounting estimates are discussed on pages 64 to 65 of our 2025 Annual Report. There were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. Controls and Procedures Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings. ICFR is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Any system of ICFR, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. There has been no change in our ICFR during the three months ended September 30, 2026, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our ICFR.

Live Audio Webcast: Visit https://www.nutrien.com/news/events/2026-q3-earnings-conference-call Non-GAAP Financial Measures We use both IFRS measures and certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures disclosed by the Company that: (a) depict historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of the Company; (b) with respect to their composition, exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the Company; (c) are not disclosed in the financial statements of the Company; and (d) are not a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation. Non-GAAP ratios are financial measures disclosed by the Company that are in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation that has a non-GAAP financial measure as one or more of its components, and that are not disclosed in the financial statements of the Company. These non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other companies. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide transparent and useful supplemental information to help investors evaluate our financial performance, financial condition and liquidity using the same measures as management. These non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The following section outlines our non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, their compositions, and why management uses each measure. It also includes reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measures. Except as otherwise described herein, our non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are calculated on a consistent basis from period to period and are adjusted for specific items in each period, as applicable. As additional non-recurring or unusual items arise in the future, we generally exclude these items in our calculations. Adjusted EBITDA (Consolidated) Most directly comparable IFRS financial measure: Net earnings (loss). Definition: Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net earnings (loss) before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and foreign exchange gain/loss (net of related derivatives). We also adjust this measure for the following other income and expenses that are excluded when management evaluates the performance of our day-to-day operations: certain integration and restructuring related costs, impairment or reversal of impairment of assets, gain or loss on sale of certain businesses and investments, asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) and accrued environmental costs (“ERL”) related to our non-operating sites, and loss related to financial instruments in Argentina. Why we use the measure and why it is useful to investors: It is not impacted by long-term investment and financing decisions, but rather focuses on the performance of our day-to-day operations. It provides a measure of our ability to service debt and to meet other payment obligations and as a component of employee remuneration calculations.   Three Months Ended September 30   Nine Months Ended September 30 ($ millions) 2026   2025   2026   2025 Net earnings 288   469   1,649   1,717 Finance costs 178   170   527   504 Income tax expense 195   168   622   594 Depreciation and amortization 640   617   1,850   1,802 EBITDA1 1,301   1,424   4,648   4,617 Adjustments:               Share-based compensation expense 75   28   150   119 Foreign exchange loss (gain), net of related derivatives 5   (11)   23   18 ARO/ERL related income for non-operating sites (42)   (10)   (59)   (7) Restructuring (recovery) costs (29)   ‐   53   22 Impairment of assets recorded in other income and expenses ‐   ‐   30   ‐ Adjusted EBITDA 1,310   1,431   4,845   4,769 1 EBITDA is calculated as net earnings before finance costs, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.   Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings Per Share Most directly comparable IFRS financial measure: Net earnings (loss) and diluted net earnings (loss) per share. Definition: Adjusted net earnings and related per share information are calculated as net earnings (loss) before share-based compensation and foreign exchange gain/loss (net of related derivatives), net of tax. We also adjust this measure for the following other income and expenses (net of tax) that are excluded when management evaluates the performance of our day-to-day operations: certain integration and restructuring related costs, impairment or reversal of impairment of assets, gain or loss on sale of certain businesses and investments, gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt or on settlement of derivatives due to discontinuance of hedge accounting, asset retirement obligations and accrued environmental costs related to our non-operating sites, loss related to financial instruments in Argentina, change in recognition of tax losses and deductible temporary differences related to impairments and certain changes to tax declarations. We generally apply the annual forecasted effective tax rate to specific adjustments during the year, and at year-end, we apply the actual effective tax rate. Why we use the measure and why it is useful to investors: Focuses on the performance of our day-to-day operations and is used as a component of employee remuneration calculations.   Three Months Ended September 30, 2026   Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026           Per           Per   Increases       Diluted   Increases       Diluted ($ millions, except as otherwise noted) (Decreases)   Post-Tax   Share   (Decreases)   Post-Tax   Share Net earnings attributable to equity holders of Nutrien     284   0.60       1,629   3.40 Adjustments:                       Share-based compensation expense 75   56   0.12   150   112   0.23 Foreign exchange loss, net of related derivatives 5   5   0.01   23   23   0.05 ARO/ERL related income for non-operating sites (42)   (32)   (0.07)   (59)   (45)   (0.09) Restructuring (recovery) costs (29)   (23)   (0.05)   53   45   0.09 Impairment of assets recorded in other income and expenses ‐   ‐   ‐   30   22   0.05 Sub-total adjustments 9   6   0.01   197   157   0.33 Adjusted net earnings     290   0.61       1,786   3.73     Three Months Ended September 30, 2025   Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025           Per           Per   Increases       Diluted   Increases       Diluted ($ millions, except as otherwise noted) (Decreases)   Post-Tax   Share   (Decreases)   Post-Tax   Share Net earnings attributable to equity holders of Nutrien     464   0.96       1,696   3.48 Adjustments:                       Share-based compensation expense 28   22   0.05   119   90   0.18 Foreign exchange (gain) loss, net of related derivatives (11)   (9)   (0.02)   18   14   0.03 ARO/ERL related income for non-operating sites (10)   (8)   (0.02)   (7)   (5)   (0.01) Restructuring costs ‐   ‐   ‐   22   18   0.04 Sub-total adjustments 7   5   0.01   152   117   0.24 Adjusted net earnings     469   0.97       1,813   3.72     Effective Tax Rate on Adjusted Net Earnings Effective tax rate on adjusted net earnings guidance is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure as it includes adjusted net earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is provided to assist readers in understanding our expected financial results. Effective tax rate on adjusted net earnings guidance excludes certain items that management is aware of that permit management to focus on the performance of our operations (see the Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings Per Share section for items generally adjusted). We do not provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking measure to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS because a meaningful or accurate calculation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort due to unknown variables, including the timing and amount of certain reconciling items, and the uncertainty related to future results. These unknown variables may include unpredictable transactions of significant value that may be inherently difficult to determine without unreasonable efforts. The probable significance of such unavailable information, which could be material to future results, cannot be addressed. Gross Margin Excluding Depreciation and Amortization Per Tonne – Manufactured Product Most directly comparable IFRS financial measure: Gross margin. Definition: Gross margin per tonne less depreciation and amortization per tonne for manufactured products. Reconciliations are provided in the “Segment Results” section. Why we use the measure and why it is useful to investors: Focuses on the performance of our day-to-day operations, which excludes the effects of items that primarily reflect the impact of long-term investment and financing decisions. Potash Controllable Cash Cost of Product Manufactured (“COPM”) Per Tonne Most directly comparable IFRS financial measure: Cost of goods sold (“COGS”) for the Potash segment. Definition: Total Potash COGS excluding depreciation and amortization expense included in COPM, royalties, natural gas costs and carbon taxes, change in inventory, and other adjustments, divided by potash production tonnes. Why we use the measure and why it is useful to investors: To assess operational performance. Potash controllable cash COPM excludes the effects of production from other periods and the impacts of our long-term investment decisions, supporting a focus on the performance of our day-to-day operations. Potash controllable cash COPM also excludes royalties and natural gas costs and carbon taxes, which management does not consider controllable, as they are primarily driven by regulatory and market conditions.   Three Months Ended September 30   Nine Months Ended September 30 ($ millions, except as otherwise noted) 2026   2025   2026   2025 Total COGS – Potash 474   437   1,342   1,257 Change in inventory (85)   (45)   (76)   (96) Other adjustments1 (7)   2   (16)   (19) COPM 382   394   1,250   1,142 Depreciation and amortization in COPM (155)   (157)   (509)   (449) Royalties in COPM (23)   (26)   (76)   (68) Natural gas costs and carbon taxes in COPM 18   (8)   (7)   (30) Controllable cash COPM 222   203   658   595 Production volumes (tonnes – thousands) 3,301   3,607   10,957   10,427 Potash controllable cash COPM per tonne 67   56   60   57 1 Other adjustments include unallocated production overhead that is recognized as part of cost of goods sold but is not included in the measurement of inventory and changes in inventory balances. Retail Cash Operating Coverage Ratio Definition: Retail selling, general and administrative, and other expenses (income), excluding depreciation and amortization expense, divided by Retail gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization expense in cost of goods sold, for the last four rolling quarters. Why we use the measure and why it is useful to investors: To understand the costs and underlying economics of our Retail operations and to assess our Retail operating performance and ability to generate cash flow.   Rolling Four Quarters Ended September 30, 2026 ($ millions, except as otherwise noted) Q4 2025   Q1 2026   Q2 2026   Q3 2026   Total Selling expenses 811   798   998   809   3,416 General and administrative expenses 40   44   55   52   191 Other expenses 4   36   45   29   114 Operating expenses 855   878   1,098   890   3,721 Depreciation and amortization in operating expenses (184)   (179)   (177)   (176)   (716) Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization 671   699   921   714   3,005                     Gross margin 977   800   2,046   911   4,734 Depreciation and amortization in cost of goods sold 5   5   6   6   22 Gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization 982   805   2,052   917   4,756 Cash operating coverage ratio (%)                 63                       Rolling Four Quarters Ended December 31, 2025 ($ millions, except as otherwise noted) Q1 2025   Q2 2025   Q3 2025   Q4 2025   Total Selling expenses 755   948   792   811   3,306 General and administrative expenses 44   44   44   40   172 Other expenses 25   54   40   4   123 Operating expenses 824   1,046   876   855   3,601 Depreciation and amortization in operating expenses (179)   (172)   (179)   (184)   (714) Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization 645   874   697   671   2,887                     Gross margin 686   2,018   922   977   4,603 Depreciation and amortization in cost of goods sold 5   5   5   5   20 Gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization 691   2,023   927   982   4,623 Cash operating coverage ratio (%)                 62   Retail Average Working Capital to Sales Definition: Retail average working capital divided by Retail sales for the last four rolling quarters.

The following section provides an explanation of the composition of those supplementary financial measures, if not previously provided. Sustaining capital expenditures: Represents capital expenditures that are required to sustain operations at existing levels and include major repairs and maintenance and plant turnarounds. Investing capital expenditures: Represents capital expenditures related to significant expansions of current operations or to create cost savings (synergies). Investing capital expenditures exclude capital outlays for business acquisitions and equity-accounted investees. Mine development and pre-stripping capital expenditures: Represents capital expenditures that are required for activities to open new areas underground and/or develop a mine or ore body to allow for future production mining and activities required to prepare and/or access the ore, i.e., removal of an overburden that allows access to the ore. Cash used for dividends and share repurchases: Calculated as dividends paid to Nutrien’s shareholders plus repurchase of common shares as reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. This measure is useful as it represents return of cash to shareholders.

the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Note 1 Basis of presentation Nutrien Ltd. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Nutrien”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “the Company”) is a leading global provider of crop inputs and services. We operate a world-class network of production, distribution and ag retail facilities that positions us to efficiently serve the needs of farmers. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. The accounting policies and methods of computation used in preparing these interim financial statements are materially consistent with those used in the preparation of our 2025 annual audited consolidated financial statements with the exception of the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, which were adopted effective January 1, 2026 (refer to Note 9). These interim financial statements include the accounts of Nutrien and its subsidiaries; however, they do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual audited consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our 2025 annual audited consolidated financial statements. These interim financial statements are presented in millions of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated, which is the functional currency of Nutrien and the majority of its subsidiaries. Certain immaterial 2025 figures have been reclassified as indicated in Note 2 Segment information. In management’s opinion, the interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary to fairly present such information in all material respects. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year. These interim financial statements were authorized by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for issue on November 4, 2026. Note 2 Segment information We have four reportable operating segments: Retail, Potash, Nitrogen and Phosphate. Our downstream Retail segment distributes crop nutrients, crop protection products, seed and merchandise, and provides agronomic application services and solutions, including the services offered through Nutrien Financial. Retail also manufactures and distributes proprietary products and provides services directly to farmers through a network of retail locations in North America, Australia and South America. Our upstream Potash, Nitrogen and Phosphate segments are differentiated by the chemical nutrient contained in the products that each segment produces and are supported by midstream activities, which include the global sales, freight, transportation and distribution of our products, which are reported within these segments, respectively. Potash freight, transportation and distribution costs only apply to our North American manufactured potash sales volumes. Sales reported under our Corporate and Others segment relate to our non-core businesses. EBITDA presented in the succeeding tables is calculated as net earnings (loss) before finance costs, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Seasonality in our business results from increased demand for products during planting season. Crop input sales are generally higher in the spring and fall application seasons. Crop input inventories are normally accumulated leading up to each application season. Our cash collections generally occur after the application season is complete, while customer prepayments made to us are typically concentrated in December and January and inventory prepayments paid to our suppliers are typically concentrated in the period from November to January. Feed and industrial sales are more evenly distributed throughout the year. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reassessed our product groupings and determined that the performance of our Purchase for Resale business should be evaluated as part of the Corporate and Others segment. It had previously been presented in our Nitrogen segment. The Purchase for Resale business focuses primarily on sales to international customers. Purchased product that remains in upstream is primarily purchases of inventory to satisfy sales contracts that we cannot fulfill with our manufactured products. The CODM concluded this change was appropriate based on the nature and strategic alignment of purchase for resale activities. Comparative amounts for the Corporate and Others and Nitrogen segments were reclassified. As a result of the reclassification, the Corporate and Others segment reflected the following increases and the Nitrogen segment reflected the corresponding decreases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended ($ millions) September 30, 2025   September 30, 2025 Sales 40   183 Gross Margin 1   8 EBITDA ‐   5             Three Months Ended

Note 5 Financial instruments Our financial instruments carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of their fair values, except for our long-term debt, including current portion, that has a carrying value of $10,834 million and fair value of $9,867 million as at September 30, 2026. There were no transfers between levels for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Note 6 Debt On May 29, 2026, we issued $1 billion of senior notes. The senior notes are unsecured, rank equally with our existing unsecured debt, and have no sinking fund requirements prior to maturity. Each series of outstanding senior notes is redeemable and has various provisions for redemption prior to maturity, at our option, at specified prices.

We also entered into a $69 million uncommitted revolving demand facility. As at September 30, 2026, this facility was fully utilized. Note 7 Share capital Share repurchase programs The following table summarizes our share repurchase activities during the periods indicated below:   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended   September 30   September 30 ($ millions, except as otherwise noted) 2026   2025   2026   2025 Number of common shares repurchased for cancellation 3,205,631   2,547,124   7,782,021   7,288,910 Average price per share (US dollars) 70.86   58.27   70.40   54.96 Total cost, inclusive of tax 231   152   558   409 Subsequent to September 30, 2026, as of November 3, 2026, an additional 1,194,010 common shares were repurchased for cancellation at a cost of $83 million and an average price per share of $69.45. Dividends declared We declared a dividend per share of $0.55 (2025 – $0.545) during the three months ended September 30, 2026, payable on October 16, 2026 to shareholders of record on September 29, 2026. Note 8 Related party transactions We sell potash outside Canada and the US exclusively through Canpotex. Our total revenue is recognized at the time product is loaded for shipping, at the amount received from Canpotex representing proceeds from their sale of potash, less net costs of Canpotex. The receivable outstanding from Canpotex arose from sale transactions described above. It is unsecured and bears no interest. Any credit losses held against this receivable are expected to be negligible. Canpotex sells potash to buyers, including Nutrien, in export markets pursuant to term and spot contracts at agreed-upon prices. Purchases from Canpotex for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were $81 million (2025 – $23 million) and the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $203 million (2025 – $100 million).     As at   As at ($ millions)   September 30, 2026   December 31, 2025 Receivables from Canpotex   264   279 Payables to Canpotex   99   63 Note 9 Accounting policies, new IFRS standards and future accounting pronouncements Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, were adopted effective January 1, 2026, the required adoption date. The amendments clarified the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The adoption resulted in a change in the accounting policy relating to the timing of the derecognition of certain financial assets and financial liabilities, such that derecognition now occurs upon settlement. The amendments were applied retrospectively without restatement of prior periods in accordance with the transitional provisions other than, on initial adoption, there was an adjustment of $(13) million to opening cash and cash equivalents as at January 1, 2026, which has been reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18) effective January 1, 2027 The Company continues to advance its implementation activities, including assessing changes to financial statement presentation and disclosures and the related changes required to reporting processes and systems.
