Yara strategy focused on profitable decarbonization, strengthening ammonia and crop nutrition core

Key global trends

Climate emergency and

decarbonization

Geopolitical shocks and

challenging energy position in Europe

Global food system

transformation

Strategic response

Decarbonize and diversify energy position through profitable growth in low-carbonammonia and premium low-carbonfertilizers

Improve future competitiveness of ammonia and crop nutrition production through more favorable and diversified energy cost position

Establish long-term growth platform within new business areas through selective organic growth supported by strategic partnerships

Key projects and priorities

  • Sluiskil CCS: FID confirmed, estimated start-up 2026
  • 2024 roll-out of fertilizers produced in
    Porsgrunn with green ammonia
  • Assessment of asset footprint
  • New commercial offerings, including expanding organic and biostimulant portfolio
  • Blue ammonia projects in US: continue to mature towards targeted FID 2H2025

Low-carbon ammonia will strengthen Yara's core nitrate upgrading margin

Yara can utilize its flexible ammonia position to reduce carbon

emissions and reduce carbon tax exposure

Scenarios assuming 3.5 mt total

Yara is actively assessing its portfolio to ensure a fit-for- future footprint

  • Yara has a future optionality to consider closing some EU ammonia production capacity, with our terminal structure in Europe representing a strong competitive advantage
  • Flexibility of ammonia position demonstrated in 2022
  • Current value of ammonia assets in Europe is limited (0.5 bn USD3)

1Q EBITDA reflects increased deliveries and lower prices

1Q 2024

EBITDA1 down 11% from 1Q23 mainly due to lower prices

Total deliveries up 12% and European deliveries up 37% from 1Q23

Reduced GHG emission intensity with implementation of key projects

Healthy demand growth and limited capacity additions indicate tightening supply- demand balance longer term
