THE MOSAIC COMPANY REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

PLYMOUTH, MN, May 6, 2014 – The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) today reported first quarter 2014 net earnings of $218 million, compared to $380 million a year ago. Earnings per diluted share were $0.54 in the quarter compared to $0.89 last year. Mosaic’s net sales in the first quarter of 2014 were $2.0 billion, down from $2.3 billion last year. Operating earnings during the quarter were $267 million, down from $491 million a year ago, as higher phosphate and potash sales volumes were more than offset by lower realized prices. On a combined basis, notable items, including a discrete tax benefit and a mark-to-market loss in value of the forward share repurchase agreement, had a negligible effect on the quarter.

“Mosaic delivered another quarter of solid results amid improving global demand for both phosphate and potash,” said Jim Prokopanko, President and Chief Executive Officer. “While weather continued to create challenges in the operating environment, strong global demand for phosphates pushed prices and margins higher during the first three months of the year, and our early positioning of potash in North America allowed for significant volume growth.

“Our long list of strategic accomplishments continued to grow in early 2014. We reached agreements to repurchase an additional 8.2 million of Mosaic’s shares, bringing our total repurchase commitments to 12 percent of our 2013 year-end shares. In addition, we completed the acquisition of CF Industries’ phosphate business in Central Florida and announced an agreement to acquire ADM’s fertilizer distribution business in Brazil. We are also implementing plans to generate cost savings of one-half billion dollars over the next five years, ensuring Mosaic remains a low-cost producer.”

Cash flow provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2014 was $627 million compared to $579 million in the prior year. First quarter 2014 cash flows reflect strong sales volumes and declining inventory levels. Capital expenditures totaled $275 million in the quarter. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 billion, leaving Mosaic’s total cash and cash equivalents at $2.5 billion and long-term debt at $3.0 billion as of March 31, 2014.

Business Highlights – First Quarter 2014

• Mosaic successfully closed the acquisition of CF Industries’ phosphate business and began integration work.

• The Company’s organic growth projects continue to progress as planned:

• The Esterhazy K3 mine development is on track, with both shafts more than 1000 feet below surface.

• The construction of the Saudi Arabia phosphate project began during the quarter.

• Mosaic announced plans to expand MicroEssentials^® capacity, adding an incremental 1.2 million tonnes, and bringing total capacity to 3.5 million tonnes by 2017.

• The Company repurchased 8.2 million shares of Class A stock from Cargill family trusts, in addition to the 27.8 million repurchased from the MAC Trusts, for a total of 36 million shares repurchased in the quarter. In total, Mosaic has repurchased or committed to repurchase approximately 52 million shares, 12 percent of year-end 2013 shares outstanding.

• Mosaic launched Aspire™, the first-of-its-kind micronutrient-enhanced potash fertilizer.

• Mosaic continued to execute on an enterprise-wide initiative focused on achieving $500 million in annual operating cost savings over the next five years, in alignment with a goal first communicated in October of 2013 and the special equity incentive awards granted during the quarter.

• The Company’s reportable injury rate in the first quarter of 2014 improved by almost five percent over record setting results in the same period last year.

• Subsequent to the quarter end, Mosaic announced an agreement to purchase Archer Daniels Midland’s fertilizer distribution business in Brazil and Paraguay, allowing the Company to accelerate its growth strategy there.

Phosphates

Phosphates Results	1Q 2014 Actual	1Q 2014 Guidance
Average DAP selling price	$414	$390 to $420
Sales volume	2.7 million tonnes	2.3 to 2.6 million tonnes
Processed phosphate production	79% of operational capacity	Low 80% range

“Our Phosphates business began the year with strong global shipments and improving margins,” Mr. Prokopanko said. “With a robust North American application season underway, we have a positive outlook for the second half of the year.”

Net sales in the Phosphates segment were $1.3 billion for the first quarter, down 16 percent compared to last year, driven by lower finished product prices. Gross margin was $207 million, or 17 percent of net sales, compared to $253 million, or 17 percent of net sales, for the same period a year ago. The year-over-year change in gross margin dollars reflects lower finished product prices, partially offset by lower raw material costs. Operating earnings were $138 million, down from $185 million last year.

2

The first quarter average DAP selling price, FOB plant, was $414 per tonne, compared to $491 a year ago. Phosphates segment total sales volumes were 2.7 million tonnes, flat with last year.

Mosaic’s North American finished phosphate production was 2.0 million tonnes, roughly flat with the year ago period, at 79 percent of operational capacity.

Potash

Potash Results	1Q 2014 Actual	1Q 2014 Guidance
Average MOP selling price	$267	$245 to $275
Sales volume	2.4 million tonnes	2.3 to 2.7 million tonnes
Potash production	70% of operational capacity	Mid 80% range

“We saw strong demand for potash for North American spring planting, and our early positioning of potash into U.S. warehouses allowed us to capitalize on that demand,” Mr. Prokopanko said. “Both our international volumes and our ability to restock in North America were impacted by logistical constraints, but we are shipping product at our maximum current logistical capacity. In the second half of the year, we expect rail constraints to be resolved and potash prices to be stable.”

Net sales in the Potash segment totaled $733 million for the first quarter, down from $825 million last year, as higher shipment volumes were more than offset by a 29 percent decline in average realized MOP prices. Gross margin was $212 million, or 29 percent of net sales, compared to $397 million, or 48 percent of net sales a year ago. Operating earnings were $166 million, down from $306 million in the prior year. The year-over-year decrease in operating earnings was driven by lower realized prices, a lower operating rate, and higher depreciation expense, partially offset by lower brine management costs.

The first quarter average MOP selling price, FOB plant, was $267 per tonne, down from $376 a year ago. The Potash segment’s total sales volumes for the first quarter were 2.4 million tonnes, compared to 2.0 million tonnes a year ago.

Potash production was 1.9 million tonnes, or 70 percent of operational capacity, down from 2.2 million tonnes, or 83 percent of operational capacity, a year ago as a result of rail shipping delays.

Other

SG&A expenses were $120 million for the first quarter, compared with $92 million last year. The year-over-year increase was driven by the timing of annual performance incentive compensation, reflecting a change in year-end date, and recognition of special equity incentives tied to cost saving targets over the next three years.

3

The provision for income taxes included a $62 million discrete tax benefit, which primarily related to the intended sale of our distribution business in Argentina. Excluding this discrete tax benefit, our effective tax rate in the quarter would have been approximately 27 percent.

Financial Guidance

“We are optimistic about the remainder of 2014, for both of our business units,” Mr. Prokopanko said. “In the second quarter, we expect improving phosphates margins, stable potash prices and strong volumes for both nutrients. We have taken important strategic actions in order to accelerate our growth as the business cycle continues to improve”.

Total sales volumes for the Phosphates segment are expected to range from 3.1 to 3.4 million tonnes for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 2.9 million tonnes last year. Mosaic’s realized DAP price, FOB plant, for the second quarter of 2014 is estimated to range from $430 to $460 per tonne. The segment gross margin percentage in the second quarter is estimated to be in the high teens, which includes a three-percentage point negative accounting impact from the acquisition of the CF phosphate assets. The operating rate in the segment is expected to be in the mid 80 percent range.

Total sales volumes for the Potash segment are expected to range from 2.2 to 2.5 million tonnes for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 2.4 million tonnes last year. Mosaic’s realized MOP price, FOB plant, for the second quarter of 2014 is estimated to range from $250 to $275 per tonne, reflecting a significant increase in proportion of lower netback international sales compared to the first quarter. Mosaic’s gross margin rate in the segment is expected to be in the high twenty percent range during the second quarter of 2014. The operating rate in the segment is expected to be in the mid 80 percent range.

For the 2014 full year, Mosaic estimates:

• SG&A expenses to range from $400 to $425 million, including acquisition and integration expense related increases.

• Canadian Resource Taxes and Royalties to range from $120 to $180 million.

• Brine management costs of approximately $200 million.

• The effective tax rate to be in the mid to upper twenty percent range, excluding any discrete tax items. The current year effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, is elevated as a result of our change in intention to repatriate Canadian cash and is expected to return to the long-term rate of low to mid twenty percent range thereafter.

• Capital expenditures and equity investments, including the Saudi Arabian joint venture, in the range of $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion.

Potash Gross Margin, Excluding Resource Taxes and Royalties, Calculation

Gross margin percentage, excluding CRT		33.9	%		53.8	%

The Company has presented above gross margin excluding Canadian resource taxes and royalties (“CRT”) for Potash which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a supplemental numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Gross margin excluding CRT is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, investors should consider that Mosaic’s calculation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Gross margin excluding CRT provides a measure that the Company believes enhances the reader’s ability to compare the Company’s gross margin with that of other companies which incur CRT expense and classify it in a manner different than the Company in their statement of earnings. Because securities analysts, investors, lenders and others use gross margin excluding CRT, the Company’s management believes that Mosaic’s presentation of gross margin excluding CRT for Potash affords them greater transparency in assessing Mosaic’s financial performance against competitors. Gross margin excluding CRT, should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
