ITAFOS Q4 2025 AND FULL YEAR 2025 OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL RESULTS – A YEAR OF SUPERIOR EXECUTION
HOUSTON, TX – March 18, 2026 – Itafos Inc. (TSX-V: IFOS) (OTCQX: ITFS) (the “Company” or “Itafos”) today reported its Q4 2025
and full year 2025 financial results and provided a corporate update. The Company’s financial statements and management’s discussion
and analysis for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 are available under the Com pany’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca
and on the Company’s website at www.itafos.com. All figures are in thousands of US Dollars except as otherwise noted. A recorded
webcast of management’s commentary reviewing the Q4 2025 financial results and an update on the business will be available on the
Company’s website on Monday, March 23, 2026 (see details below).
CEO Commentary
Chief Executive Officer David Delaney commented, “we are pleased to report another quarter and year of successful operating r esults
for the Company. We set Itafos production records at both Conda and Arraias during the year while maintaining US industry -leading
operating rates. For the full year, we recorded total revenues of $558 million, an increase of 14% compared to 2024, and adjusted EBITDA
of $159 million, down slightly from 2024 driven by higher raw material input costs.
From a fundamental perspective, we believe phosphate prices will be supported by a tight supply demand balance, lack of incremental
capacity additions, and steady growth in traditional fertilizer uses and increasing demand from alternative downstream market s. The
ongoing conflict in Iran has had an immediate impact on global supply chains resulting in higher prices for both the products we sell and
the raw materials we consume.
We have been taking and continue to take measures to benefit from what we see as a compelling long -term fundamental backdrop for
our industry that we believe has been created and will continue to create meaningful value for our shareholders. The magnesium oxide
reduction project (the “MgO Reduction Project”) at Conda is designed to maintain operating rates as we transition to our new mines and
through our ongoing exploration activities we hope to increase ou r reserve base to add mine life into the back half of the century. The
recently completed preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) at Arraias supports our plans to produce Single Superphosphate (“SSP”),
helping to meet demand for quality fertilizers in the Brazilian market.
We were pleased to pay out our first special dividends during 2025 following the sale of our Araxá development project and we will
continue to focus on optimizing our assets to deliver long-term value to our shareholders.”
Q4 2025 Financial Highlights
For Q4 2025, the Company’s financial highlights were as follows:
▪ Revenues of $142.6 million in Q4 2025 compared to $138.2 million in Q4 2024;
▪ Adjusted EBITDA1 of $38.7 million in Q4 2025 compared to $45.5 million in Q4 2024;
▪ Net income of $19.2 million in Q4 2025 compared to $29.6 million in Q4 2024;
▪ Basic earnings1 of C$0.14/share in Q4 2025 compared to C$0.22/share in Q4 2024; and
▪ Free cash flow1 of $13.9 million in Q4 2024 compared to $17.1 million in Q4 2024.
The decrease in the Company’s Q4 2025 adjusted EBITDA compared to Q4 2024 was primarily due to higher sulfur and sulfuric acid
costs at Conda.
The decrease in the Company’s Q4 2025 net income compared to Q4 2024 was primarily due to higher sulfur and sulfuric acid costs and
higher income tax expense, which were partially offset by higher other income and lower finance expenses.
The Company’s total capex1 spend in Q4 2025 was $19.6 million compared to $13.5 million in Q4 2024 with the increase primarily due
to development activities at Conda ( mainly magnesium oxide reduction initiatives and exploration drilling ), and activities related to the
Company’s previously announced program to restart fertilizer production at Arraias (the “Fertilizer Restart Program”).
1 Adjusted EBITDA, basic earnings (C$/share), free cash flow, and total capex are each a non-IFRS financial measure. For additional information on non-
IFRS and other financial measures, see “Non-IFRS financial measures” below. International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

FY 2025 Financial Highlights
For FY 2025, the Company’s financial highlights were as follows:
▪ Revenues of $558.0 million in FY 2025 compared to $491.2 million in FY 2024;
▪ Adjusted EBITDA2 of $158.7 million in FY 2025 compared to $159.5 million in FY 2024;
▪ Net income of $116.1 million in FY 2025 compared to $87.8 million in FY 2024;
▪ Basic earnings2 of C$0.84/share in FY 2025 compared to C$0.63/share in FY 2024; and
▪ Free cash flow2 of $51.2 million in FY 2025 compared to $54.8 million in FY 2024.
The Company’s FY 2025 adjusted EBITDA remained largely consistent compared to FY 2024 with higher product prices being offset by
higher sulfur and sulfuric acid costs.
The increase in the Company’s FY 2025 net income compared to FY 2024 was primarily due to the gain on the sale of the Araxá project,
gain on the sale of St George Mining Limited ordinary shares in connection with the sale of the Araxá project and lower finance expenses,
which were partially offset by higher income tax expense mainly driven by withholding tax expenses related to the sale of the Araxá
project.
The Company’s total capex2 spend in FY 2025 was $79.9 million compared to $71.2 million in FY 2024 with the increase primarily due to
development activities at Conda ( mainly magnesium oxide reduction initiatives and exploration drilling ), and activities related to the
Fertilizer Restart Program at Arraias.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s financial highlights were as follows:
▪ Trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA2 of $158.7 million;
▪ Net debt2 of $19.5 million; and
▪ Net leverage ratio2 of 0.1x.
Recent Developments
▪ On January 16, 2026, the Company announced the resignation of Isaiah Toback and the appointment of Joseph McConnell to
the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. McConnell replaces Isaiah Toback as a nominee to the Company’s Board of Directors
by its principal shareholder, CL Fertilizers Holding LLC (“CLF”).
▪ On February 9, 2026, the Company filed the Arraias Technical Report, which provides for an updated mineral resource estimate
and the results of a PEA for the phosphate operation at Arraias.
FY 2025 Market and Financial Outlook
Market Outlook
Phosphate fertilizer prices declined in Q4 2025 compared to the previous quarter, primarily driven by the lifting of reciproc al tariffs on
phosphate fertilizers by the US government in November 2025. Diammonium phosphate (“DAP”) and monoammonium phosphate
(“MAP”) prices were also pressured by farmer affordability concerns, as fertilizer prices remained relatively high compared to crop prices
during the quarter. While prices have moderated off the Q3 2025 highs, current levels remain near the historical five-year average price.
Relatively low grain and oilseed prices continue to impact phosphate affordability and demand. Although affordability has imp roved with
the recent pullback in fertilizer prices, DAP and MAP prices relative to crop values remain above historical averages. To help offset margin
pressure on farmers from lower commodity prices, the US government has already announced a $12 billion federal farm subsidy program.
This program, and any further farm assistance programs in 2026, are expected to support US phosphate demand.
Through the first quarter of 2026, MAP prices have improved from the recent lows as China has announced a suspension through August
2026 on all exported phosphate fertilizer products, expanding beyond MAP and DAP. In addition, US production remains constra ined
and global demand is expected to remain relatively strong.
Margin suppression continues to be one of the most vocal topics amongst phosphate producers. Global and domestic sulfur price s
increased to over $500 per tonne, with the ratio of sulfur price to phosphate fertilizer price at all -time high levels. The increase in sulfur
prices has resulted in some phosphate production being taken offline, particularly in Brazil and China.
In late February 2026, US and Israeli forces attacked Iran and Iran responded with counterattacks against multiple targets in the Middle
East. The hostilities have affected the supply chains of finished fertilizer products and associated raw materials, resulting in increases in
commodity prices. In particular, this situation has disrupted shipping though the Strait of Hormuz where meaningful supplies of the global
trade of nitrogen, phosphate and sulfur traverse. The extent, duration, and ultimate impacts of the hostilities is uncertain at this time, but
indications are that supply chains will be disrupted and commodity prices will continue to be elevated in 2026 and potentially beyond.
2 Adjusted EBITDA, basic earnings (C$/share), free cash flow, total capex, trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA, net debt, and net leverage ratio are each
a non-IFRS financial measure. For additional information on non-IFRS and other financial measures, see “Non-IFRS financial measures” below.
3
Looking ahead, the Company anticipates an improvement in phosphate prices through H1 2026 due to:
▪ supply chain and production issues related to the hostilities in Iran and other parts of the Middle East;
▪ ongoing export restrictions from China;
▪ seasonal increases in US demand moving into the spring planting season; and
▪ limited incremental MAP and DAP supply from the US and other global suppliers, including the potential for decreased production
globally as producer margins are compressed and key raw materials may not be available.
Financial Outlook
The Company’s guidance for 2026 is as follows (as announced in the Company news release dated February 11, 2026):34
(in millions of US Dollars Projected
except as otherwise noted) FY 2026
Sales Volumes (thousands of tonnes P2O5)3 335-355
Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses4 $16-20
Maintenance capex4 $23-33
Growth capex4 $63-83
Environmental and asset retirement obligations payments $25-30
Q4 and FY 2025 Market Highlights
MAP New Orleans (“NOLA”) prices averaged $684/st in Q4 2025 compared to $623/st in Q4 2024, up 10% year-over-year, and averaged
$687/st in FY 2025 compared to $610/st in FY 2024, up 13% year-over-year.
Specific factors driving the year-over-year increase in MAP NOLA prices were as follows:
▪ the imposition of reciprocal tariffs on phosphate fertilizers in April of 2025 (that were lifted in November of 2025);
▪ lower than expected Chinese exports of MAP due to government induced export restrictions and a mix -shift to lower grade
phosphate fertilizer products;
▪ continued strong global demand, particularly from Africa, India and Brazil; partially offset by decreased retail demand due to the
relative price of fertilizer inputs costs versus crop prices.
December 31, 2025, Highlights
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA 4 of $158.7 million which remained largely consistent
compared to $159.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had net debt 4 of $19.5 million compared to $26.8 million as of December 31, 2024 , with the
reduction primarily due to lower debt, partially offset by lower cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s net debt 4 as of December 31,
2025 was comprised of $70.5 million in cash and $90.0 million in debt (gross of deferred financing costs). As of December 31, 2025 and
the end of 2024, the Company’s net leverage ratio4 was 0.1x and 0.2x, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had liquidity4 of $150.5 million comprised of $70.5 million in cash and $80.0 million in undrawn
borrowing capacity under its $80.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”).
Operations Highlights and Mine Development
Environmental, Health, and Safety (“EHS”)
▪ For Q4 2025, the Company sustained EHS performance, including no reportable environmental releases and one recordable
incidents, which resulted in a consolidated Total Recordable Incident Frequency Rate (“TRIFR”) of 0.54.
▪ For FY 2025, the Company sustained EHS performance, including no reportable environmental releases and six recordable
incidents, which resulted in a consolidated TRIFR of 0.54.
3Sales volumes reflect quantity in P2O5 of Conda sales projections.
4Trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA, net debt, net leverage ratio , corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, maintenance capex, growth
capex and liquidity are each a non-IFRS financial measure. For additional information on non-IFRS and other financial measures, see “Non-IFRS financial
measures” below.
4
Conda
In Q4 2025, Conda
▪ Produced 90,815 tonnes P2O5 compared to 97,307 tonnes P2O5 in Q4 2024, which decreased primarily due to strong production
rates after large-scope plant turnaround in 2024 and unplanned downtime in Q4 2025;
▪ Generated revenues of $133.0 million compared to $132.4 million in Q4 2024 with the increase primarily due to higher realized
prices for MAP and SPA products resulting from strong phosphate market dynamics; and
▪ Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $43.5 million compared to $48.7 million in Q4 2024 with the decrease primarily due to lower
MAP, SPA and MAP+ sales volumes, partially offset by higher cash margin per tonne P2O5.
In FY 2025, Conda:
▪ Produced 352,841 tonnes P2O5 compared to 349,396 tonnes P2O5 in FY 2024 with the slight increase due to higher production
rates;
▪ Generated revenues of $512.0 million compared to $467.8 million in FY 2024 with the increase primarily due to higher realized
prices for MAP and SPA products resulting from strong phosphate market dynamics and higher sales volumes; and
▪ Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $163.6 million compared to $170.1 million in FY 2024 with the decrease primarily due to lower
cash margins per tonne P2O5.
Completion of Mining at Rasmussen Valley
The Company completed mining at the Rasmussen Valley mine in Q3 2025 after approximately seven years in operation and commenced
reclamation activities in Q4 2025. Reclamation costs for the Rasmussen Valley mine are expected to be in the range of $80-$100 million
with the majority of the spend expected to occur over the next 48 months.
Mine Life Extension
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, the Company advanced activities related to the extension of Conda’s mine
life through the development of Husky 1/North Dry Ridge (“H1/NDR”) as follows:
▪ advanced H1/NDR capital activities including completion of rail loading facilities, with first ore successfully loaded into railcars
and shipped to the plant in Q4 2025; and
▪ advanced MgO reduction project preliminary engineering and construction activities on new processing facility designed to lower
the magnesium content of the ore from the H1/NDR mines in order to maintain P2O5 production capacity at the plant.
Exploration and Appraisal Program at Conda
As H1/NDR mining activities continue, the Company is focused on identifying and pursuing opportunities to add additional resources and
reserves to the project to extend mine life beyond the current Conda Technical Report estimate of mid -2037. To pursue this objective,
the Company has commenced a multi-year, multi-lease exploration program, resource evaluation and permitting program at Conda with
an expected annual cost of approximately $6-8 million.
The in-fill drilling program is focused on further delineating upside potential of the Husky 1 Lease through a targeted reserve delineation
appraisal that will reduce drill spacing to 250ft on center versus current spacing at 500ft.
Initial resource delineation drilling on the Dry Ridge Lease continued into Q4 2025, with the program consisting of drilling on 2,400ft
centers to gain crucial geologic and metallurgical information that will be used to generate initial resource models tha t will drive future
mine planning resource estimation and permitting studies.
Core drilling and geologic modeling of the Husky 3 and Husky 4 Leases is ahead of schedule as exploration core drilling conti nued into
Q4 2025. This initial drilling will identify the site geology and characterize the resource for future mine development a long the current
mine trend.
In addition to these activities, preliminary work has commenced on environmental baseline resource studies that will be required for future
National Environmental Policy Act permitting and regulatory approvals. These geographically near field opportunities have the potential
to extend mine life beyond the current estimate in the Conda Technical Report of mid-2037 in an efficient manner with the objective of
utilizing the current infrastructure being built out at H1/NDR.
5
Arraias
In Q4 2025, Arraias:
▪ Produced 31,900 tonnes of excess sulfuric acid compared to 22,864 tonnes in Q4 2024 with the increase due to higher market
demand, despite the rise in acid consumption driven by Partially Acidulated Phosphate Rock (“PAPR”) and Granulated Partially
Acidulated Phosphate Rock (“G-PAPR”) production;
▪ Produced 8,628 tonnes P2O5, compared to 1,635 tonnes P2O5 in Q4 2024, with the increase due to increased crushing activity
undertaken to build inventory for planned G-PAPR, PAPR, and Direct Application Phosphate Rock (“DAPR”) sales in 2026; and
▪ Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $0.8 million compared to $0.8 million in Q4 2024, which remained largely consistent year-over-
year.
In FY 2025, Arraias:
▪ Produced 124,712 tonnes of excess sulfuric acid compared to 100,875 tonnes in FY 2024 with the increase due to full year
production with no downtime in connection with a plant turnaround;
▪ Produced 48,919 tonnes P 2O5 compared to 18,147 tonnes P 2O5 in FY 2024, with the increase driven by higher demand for
fertilizer products, full year contribution of PAPR production, and the start of G-PAPR production during the year; and
▪ Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $13.3 million compared to $4.3 million in FY 2024 with the increase primarily due to higher
sulfuric acid gross margin and higher fertilizer products sales in 2025, driven by a full year contribution of PAPR sales and the
introduction of G-PAPR during the year.
Fertilizer Restart Program
During H2 2025, the Company focused on finalizing the Arraias Technical Report. The completion of this work enabled the decision to
complete work to enable the resumption of the wet beneficiation process at Arraias, supporting the planned restart of SSP production in
2027. On January 27, 2026, the Arraias Technical Report was finalized, and a press release was issued providing an update on the
project.
