Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. reports first quarter results;
declares cash distribution

Sioux City, Iowa (April 26, 2007)—Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNCLP) (NYSE: TNH) today reported net income of $35.3 million, or $1.87 per limited partnership unit, on revenues of $128.2 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. This compares with a net loss of $2.4 million, or $.13 per unit, on revenues of $95.5 million for the 2006 first quarter.

TNCLP also announced a cash distribution for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, of $1.57 per limited partnership unit payable May 29, 2007, to holders of record as of May 10, 2007.

Analysis of results

The first quarter earnings improvement over last year was due to higher sales volumes and lower natural gas costs, partially offset by lower ammonia selling prices. The 2006 first quarter was affected by market disruptions caused by unprecedented natural gas costs as the result of late 2005 hurricanes.

TNCLP’s 2007 first quarter ammonia and nitrogen solutions sales volumes were 35 and 34 percent higher, respectively, than those of the 2006 first quarter. The improvement in 2007 sales volumes was due primarily to robust demand, driven in part by strong corn prices and futures.

TNCLP’s natural gas unit costs for the 2007 first quarter were 34 percent lower than those incurred in the 2006 first quarter. Forward natural gas purchase contracts had a nominal effect on 2007 costs compared to a 2006 cost increase of $20.0 million.

Ammonia and nitrogen solutions selling prices for the 2007 first quarter were 13 percent lower and 4 percent higher, respectively, than 2006 first quarter selling prices.

Forward natural gas position

TNCLP’s forward purchase contracts at March 31, 2007, fixed prices for about 16 percent of its next 12 months’ natural gas requirements at $1.6 million below published forward markets at that date.
