4 new paragraphs in the 10-K, 15 new in the latest 10-Q
Paragraphs with nothing like them in last year's 10-K
4 paragraphs in Risk Factors of the 10-K filed Feb 27, 2026 with nothing like them in the 10-K filed Mar 3, 2025. Quoted exactly. Paragraphs that were only edited are under 10-K change.
Compared with the Risk Factors in the latest 10-K of the other 23 Materials companies: a paragraph with at least half its words the same at another company is called similar, and the companies are listed under it. A paragraph most of them have is marked boilerplate. No line means no other company has one like it. This counts text; it does not say how serious a risk is.
Our ability to fund operations, meet obligations, and pursue strategic initiatives depends on maintaining sufficient liquidity and access to capital markets. We rely on cash generated from operations, committed credit facilities, and debt financing. Adverse conditions in global credit markets, disruptions in banking systems, or a deterioration in our financial performance could limit our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all.
Our credit ratings significantly affect our cost of borrowing and access to financing. A downgrade by any major rating agency—whether due to industry conditions, commodity price volatility, or company-specific factors—could increase our borrowing costs and restrict access to credit markets.
If we are unable to maintain adequate liquidity or favorable credit ratings, we may be forced to reduce capital expenditures, delay strategic projects, or seek alternative financing under unfavorable terms. Any of these outcomes could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Paragraphs in the 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2026 that were not in the one before
15 paragraphs in the 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2026 with nothing like them in the 10-Q filed Aug 5, 2026 (at least half the words must differ; new numbers alone do not count). Quoted exactly, grouped by the item heading above them. This is text that changed, not a judgement of how serious it is.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the Senior Notes of 2026 to extinguish $ 1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of our 4.050 % senior notes due 2027, 7.300 % debentures due 2028, 5.375 % senior notes due 2028 and 4.350 % senior notes due 2029, through cash tender offers and make-whole redemptions.

Generally, for interim periods, income tax is equal to the total of (1) year-to-date pretax income multiplied by our forecasted effective tax rate, plus (2) tax expense items specific to the period. In situations where we expect to report losses for which we do not expect to receive tax benefits, we are required to apply separate forecasted effective tax rates to those jurisdictions rather than including them in the consolidated effective tax rate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, income tax expense

During the third quarter of 2026, we entered into treasury lock agreements, which are interest rate contracts, with an aggregate notional amount of $ 1.0 billion to manage our exposure to changes in Treasury rates prior to the issuance of the Senior Notes of 2026, as described in Note 9. These agreements were not designated as hedging instruments. In August 2026, in connection with the pricing of the Senior Notes of 2026, we settled all of these agreements and recognized a gain of $ 2.9 million in interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Kronau. On September 15, 2026, we entered into an agreement to sell approximately 11,858 acres of land near Kronau, Saskatchewan, to an unrelated third-party for approximately $ 36 million, subject to adjustment. As of September 30, 2026, the land was classified as held for sale, and its carrying amount of approximately $ 10 million was reclassified from property, plant and equipment, net to Assets held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. No impairment was recognized because the fair value less costs to sell exceeded the carrying amount. The land is included in the Potash reportable segment, and we retained all mines and minerals. The transaction closed on October 28, 2026, resulting in a gain that we will recognize in the fourth quarter of 2026.
