Nutrien demonstrated strong performance with record potash volumes, significant retail EBITDA growth, and accelerated cost savings. However, challenges such as lower fertilizer prices, phosphate EBITDA decline, and tariff uncertainties persisted. Overall, the positive achievements slightly outweigh the lowlights.

Company Guidance

During Nutrien's 2024 Fourth Quarter Earnings Call, the company provided guidance on various financial metrics and strategic goals. Nutrien achieved an adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 billion for 2024, despite lower fertilizer prices, due to increased downstream retail earnings, higher upstream fertilizer volumes, and reduced costs. Retail adjusted EBITDA reached $1.7 billion, marking a 16% increase over the previous year, driven by stronger-than-expected crop protection margins in North America and improvements in Brazilian retail performance. The company also reported a 7% reduction in potash controllable cash cost per tonne due to increased production and automation efforts. For 2025, Nutrien forecasts global potash shipments between 71 million to 75 million tonnes and anticipates U.S. corn acreage to rise to 91 to 93 million acres. The company set an annual potash sales volume guidance of 13.6 to 14.4 million tonnes, reflecting uncertainties such as potential tariffs on Canadian exports. Additionally, Nutrien aims to achieve $200 million in annual cost savings by 2025, a year ahead of schedule, and plans capital expenditures of $2 billion to $2.1 billion. The company continues to focus on strategic investments, share repurchases, and maintaining a stable and growing dividend.

Record Potash Volumes

Nutrien sold record potash volumes and progressed nitrogen brownfield expansions at two North American sites.

Retail Adjusted EBITDA Growth

Retail adjusted EBITDA totaled $1.7 billion, up 16% from the prior year, driven by stronger-than-expected crop protection margins in North America and improved Brazilian retail performance.

Cost Savings Acceleration

Nutrien accelerated the timeline for achieving $200 million in annual cost savings, expecting to achieve this target in 2025, one year earlier than initially planned.

GHG Emissions Reduction

Achieved a 15% reduction in total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity in 2024 compared to the 2018 base year.

Dividend Growth

The dividend per share has been increased seven times since the beginning of 2018, with a total increase of 36%.
