  1. Mosaic Co. (MOS) Presented by: Akrati Johari, Phil Nguyen, Iordanis Thomaidis, Charles Gambino and Michael Bellisario Date: 18th March, 2010

  2. Agenda Industry Overview Financial Ratios Competitor Analysis Multiples Valuation Pro-forma Assumptions DCF and WACC Calculation Macroeconomic Analysis Recommendation

  3. Industry Overview Agriculture chemicals industry1 3 main competitors2 Mosaic (phosphate) – $6.1B sales Potash (potash) – $3.7B sales Agrium (nitrogen) – $9.1B sales Consolidation CF Industries to acquire Terra, bidding war with Yara 1from finance.yahoo.com 2data from trailing twelve months

  4. Company Overview Based in Plymouth, MN One of the three largest potash producers World’s largest phosphate producer 13% share of global production $10.3B in sales last fiscal year

  5. Company Overview Fertilizer – primary macronutrients Phosphorous and potassium Improve/add nutrients to soil Increase crop yield “More from less” Most potash mines are deep shaft mines up to 3,300 feet underground

  6. Business Segments Realignment 2Q2010 Combined Offshore segment with Phosphates segment “to more clearly reflect evolving business model” Phosphates (77% of sales) Produce concentrated phosphate crop nutrients and phosphate-based animal feed ingredients Potash (23% of sales) Produce potash-based crop nutrients, animal feed ingredients, and industrial products

  7. Strengths High barriers to entry – capital intensive & claim on natural resources and mines 100 years of high-quality ore reserves 40% market share of North American production $2.7B in cash – expansion, additional capacity, acquisitions Products marketed in 40 countries

  8. Weaknesses Cross-border risks associated with international operations Seasonality in business that results in needing significant amounts of inventory Cargill’s majority ownership and representation on the Board of Directors Sell a commodity product – difficult to differentiate

  9. Threats Decline in oil and other commodity prices Competitors look to add capacity/expand into new markets Governmental policies (subsidies) affecting the agricultural industry

  10. Opportunities 75 million more people in the world every year to feed Ethanol production expected to increase ~50% by 2015 Growing middle class in developing countries consuming more protein-rich diets People will always have to eat

  11. DuPont Analysis ROE 2.11% -0.88% 2.57% 8.71% 7.16%

  13. Ratio Analysis – Recent Financial Position

  14. Industry Competitors • Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan • Largest manufacturer of potash fertilizers • Third largest producer of nitrogen • Third largest producer of phosphate • Revenue breakdown: 43% potash, 31% nitrogen, 26% phosphate • Claim of production capacity greater than 50% of closest rival

  15. Industry Competitors • Agrium • Second largest producer of nitrogenous fertilizers • Third largest North American producer of potash and fifth largest for phosphate • Attempted to purchase CF Industries

  16. Industry Competitors • Terra Industries • Leading North American producer of nitrogen based products • Accepted takeover bid by CF Industries for $4.7 billion

  22. Management Assessment • In 2006 Management Claimed: • Sales volumes for Potash will improve due to a supply contract with a key customer in China. • Result: Sales Volumes for next 3 years: • 2007: 1478.9 2008: 2251.2 2009: 2817.2 • The Phosphates business will show increased gross margins due to increased industry supply and demand fundamentals and our Phosphates restructuring actions • Result: Gross Margins for next 3 years: • 2007: 13.5% 2008: 36.5% 2009: 22.0% • Mosaic will begin restructuring the Phosphate segment • Result: Mosaic combined the Nitrogen segment into their Phosphate segment in 2008 and the Offshore segment into their Phosphate segment in 2009

  23. Revenue Assumptions

  24. Revenue Assumptions-Potash • Summarized from 10K: • By the start of the 3rd quarter in 2010, Potash demand improving but still below historical levels. • Potash segment still operating at reduced production volumes. • Despite the improved demand however, Potash selling prices in 3rd quarter will be below 2nd quarter levels

  25. Revenue Assumptions-Potash • Recovery in Potash segment reflects recovery of selling prices and worldwide demand. Higher % of revenues is a result of management's plan: “We continued the expansion of capacity in our Potash segment, in line with our views of the long-term fundamentals of that business. The planned expansions are expected to increase our annual capacity for finished product over the next eleven years”

  26. Revenue Assumptions-Phosphate • Mosaic’s results for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the prior year period reflected a recovery in Phosphates segment volumes and significant declines in phosphate selling prices. • Although the Phosphates segment’s prices stabilized in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, they have not returned to the historical highs of the prior year period that resulted from strong demand for crop nutrients.

  27. Revenue Assumptions-Offshore • In 2010 Mosaic has again realigned their business segments and moved from three total segments to two by merging the Offshore segment into the Phosphate segment

  28. Other Assumptions • COGS: Increase sharply in 2009 due to higher fixed costs as a result of decreased production. After production increases, COGS will start returning to historical levels. • SGA: Sharp increase in 2009 due to same reasons as COGS.

  34. Macroeconomic Review Gross Domestic Product GDP of countries that MOS exports its goods Sensitive to fluctuation in prices of raw materials→ Adversely affect Sales Inputs = Natural Gas, Phosphate rock , Ammonia , Sulfur Outputs = Phosphate , Potash , Nitrogen Strong International Presence 70% of net sales from customers located outside the US. Brazil – Argentina – Chile – China - India

  35. Macroeconomic Review Regulations + Transportation costs Further restriction on greenhouse gas emissions → increase operating costs. Cost of delivery → adversely affect sales volume and prices Currency Risk Most significant impact from CAD and BRL → Periodically hedge against exposure to foreign currency risk

Recommendation We currently own 200 shares bought at $55 on 12/18/2009 DCF Intrinsic Value = $29.20 Triangulated Value = $57.51 Current Stock Price @ 3/17 = $61.91 Hedge against inflation Growth in emerging markets such as India and Brazil will drive sales growth => We recommend a HOLD for the 200 shares
