Corn consumes the largest amount of nitrogen fertilizer
Farmers are expected to generate substantial proceeds at currently forecasted corn prices
Farmers are still incentivized to apply nitrogen fertilizer at corn prices lower than current spot
Nitrogen fertilizer represents a small percentage of a farmer’s input costs

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To
supplement
the
actual
results
in
accordance
with
U.S.
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
(GAAP),
for
the
applicable
periods,
the
Company
also
uses
certain
non-GAAP
financial
measures
as
discussed
below,
which
are
adjusted
for
GAAP-based
results.
The
use
of
non-GAAP
adjustments
are
not
in
accordance
with
or
an
alternative
for
GAAP.
The
adjustments
are
provided
to
enhance
the
overall
understanding
of
the
Company’s
financial
performance
for
the
applicable
periods
and
are
also
indicators
that
management
utilizes
for
planning
and
forecasting
future
periods.
The
non-GAAP
measures
utilized
by
the
Company
are
not
necessarily
comparable
to
similarly
titled
measures
of
other
companies.  
The
Company
believes
that
the
presentation
of
non-GAAP
financial
measures
provides
useful
information
to
investors
regarding
the
Company’s
financial
condition
and
results
of
operations
because
these
measures,
when
used
in
conjunction
with
related
GAAP
financial
measures
(i)
together
provide
a
more
comprehensive
view
of
the
Company’s
core
operations
and
ability
to
generate
cash
flow,
(ii)
provide
investors
with
the
financial
analytical
framework
upon
which
management
bases
financial
and
operational
planning
decisions,
and
(iii)
presents
measurements
that
investors
and
rating
agencies
have
indicated
to
management
are
useful
to
them
in
assessing
the
Company
and
its
results
of
operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (cont’d)
EBITDA:
EBITDA
represents
net
income
before
the
effect
of
interest
expense,
interest
income,
income
tax
expense
(benefit)
and
depreciation
and
amortization.
EBITDA
is
not
a
calculation
based
upon
GAAP;
however,
the
amounts
included
in
EBITDA
are
derived
from
amounts
included
in
the
consolidated
statement
of
operations
of
the
Company.
Adjusted
EBITDA
by
operating
segment
results
from
operating
income
by
segment
adjusted
for
items
that
the
company
believes
are
needed
in
order
to
evaluate
results
in
a
more
comparative
analysis
from
period
to
period.
Additional
adjustments
to
EBITDA
include
major
scheduled
turnaround
expense,
the
impact
of
the
Company’s
use
of
accounting
for
its
inventory
under
first-in,
first-out
(FIFO),
net
unrealized
gains/losses
on
derivative
activities,
share-based
compensation
expense,
loss
on
extinguishment
of
debt,
and
other
income
(expense).
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
not
a
recognized
term
under
GAAP
and
should
not
be
substituted
for
operating
income
or
net
income
as
a
measure
of
performance
but
should
be
utilized
as
a
supplemental
measure
of
financial
performance
in
evaluating
our
business.
First-in,
first-out
(FIFO):
The
Company’s
basis
for
determining
inventory
value
on
a
GAAP
basis. 
Changes
in
crude
oil
prices
can
cause
fluctuations
in
the
inventory
valuation
of
our
crude
oil,
work
in
process
and
finished
goods,
thereby
resulting
in
favorable
FIFO
impacts
when
crude
oil
prices
increase
and
unfavorable
FIFO
impacts
when
crude
oil
prices
decrease.
The
FIFO
impact
is
calculated
based
upon
inventory
values
at
the
beginning
of
the
accounting
period
and
at
the
end
of
the
accounting
period.
