CF Industries reported Q2 net earnings of $727M (+88% YoY) on $2.2B revenue (+18% YoY), driven by 39% higher nitrogen fertilizer prices amid Middle East supply disruptions, partially offset by lower sales volumes and the idled Yazoo City facility.

Largest Expense Items

Cost of sales$1,077M-5% YoY

Selling, general and administrative expenses$89M-12% YoY

Decrease due to lower costs for certain corporate initiatives.

Interest expense$50M+39% YoY

Higher interest on tax liabilities and higher senior notes outstanding, partially offset by higher capitalized interest.

Margins: Gross margin increased 52% to $1.15B from $755M YoY, with gross margin percentage rising to 51.5% from 39.9%, driven primarily by 39% higher average selling prices benefiting all segments.
