CF Industries Holdings, Inc. announced on May 6 its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, reporting net earnings of $615 million and adjusted EBITDA of $983 million.
The company said these results reflect a gain of approximately $170 million from a litigation settlement. It also reported trailing twelve months net cash from operating activities of $2.66 billion and free cash flow of $1.65 billion for the same period, which includes cash flows related to the Blue Point joint venture.
During the first quarter, CF Industries repurchased about 155,000 shares for $15 million and launched a low-carbon UAN collaboration with PepsiCo aimed at reducing the carbon footprint in PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay brand’s U.S. potato supply chain.
Chris Bohn, president and chief executive officer of CF Industries Holdings, Inc., said: “The CF Industries team continued to deliver safely outstanding operational performance in the first quarter of 2026 against a backdrop of strong global nitrogen demand and tight global nitrogen supply as we entered the year.” Bohn added: “The conflict with Iran has further constrained global nitrogen supply and exposed the fragile nature of the global nitrogen supply chain. We remain focused on safe operations and high asset utilization across our low-cost North American-based manufacturing and distribution network, enabling CF Industries to continue to be a reliable supplier to customers and to create substantial value for long-term shareholders.”
