ITAFOS REPORTS Q2 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

HOUSTON, TX – August 5, 2026 – Itafos Inc. (TSX-V: IFOS) (OTCQX: ITFS) (the “Company”) today reported its Q2 2026 financial

results and provided a corporate update. The Company’s financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the three

and six months ended June 30, 2026 are available under the Company’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 Q2 2026 financial results and an update on the busine ss will be available on the Company’s website on Friday, August 7,

2026 (see details below).

CEO Commentary

Chief Executive Officer David Delaney commented, “we are pleased to report another quarter of c ontinued execution for the Company,

especially given the unprecedented challenges facing the global phosphate industry. The Company recorded consolidated revenues for

the quarter of $144.0 million, an increase of 14% compared to the same period last year, driven by higher product prices and hi gher

fertilizer and sulfuric acid sales volumes in Brazil. Our safety performance during the quarter was indicative of our high standards and the

Company’s Total Recordable Incident Frequency Rate declined to 0.53 as of the end of the quarter.

Our solid relationships with the long-term suppliers of our primary raw materials allowed the Company to continue to maximize output at

both Conda and Arraias in an economic environm ent that has seen a series of shutdowns or production deferrals from domestic and

global producers of phosphate. Conda produc ed fertilizer volumes that were comparable with year-ago levels while completing its

scheduled turnaround during June and Arraias increased fertilizer production by 62% on a P2O5 basis compared to the same period last

year. I am proud that our team was able to execute so well and supply farmers in the United States, Canada, and Brazil with these critical

crop inputs at a time when the industry was experiencing unprecedented turmoil.

Global supply chains for phosphates, sulfur, ammonia, and other co mmodities continue to be disrupted by the ongoing conflict in Iran,

and operating margins across the industry have suffered. Despite this, our net leverage ratio remains at 0.3 times trailing 12 months

Adjusted EBITDA 1 and we maintain ample liquidity to maintain industry- leading operating rates and to execute our planned growth

projects.

It is unclear when tensions will fall in the Middle East, what the ‘new normal’ will look like, or how long it may take for that to be achieved.

That said, the Company continues to excel at executing our day-to-day operations and is fortunate to have well established relationships

with key customers and suppliers that allow for us to efficiently run our businesses and deliver vital products to the domestic and global

agriculture industry. I remain confident of the long-term opportunities in our industry and in the ability of the Company to co ntinue to

prosper as we move forward.”

Q2 2026 Financial Highlights

For Q2 2026, the Company’s financial highlights were as follows:

 Revenues of $144.0 million in Q2 2026 compared to $126.8 million in Q2 2025;

 Adjusted EBITDA 1 of $17.8 million in Q2 2026 compared to $31.8 million in Q2 2025;

 Net income (loss) of $(5.6) million in Q2 2026 compared to $24.8 million in Q2 2025;

 Basic earnings (loss) 1 of C$(0.04)/share in Q2 2026 compared to C$0.18/share in Q2 2025; and

 Free cash flow 1 of $10.7 million in Q2 2026 compared to $10.8 million in Q2 2025.

The decrease in the Company’s Q2 2026 Adjusted EBITDA compared to Q1 2025 was primarily due to materially higher sulfur and

sulfuric acid costs at Conda and Arraias, which were partially offset by higher revenues.

The decrease in the Company’s Q2 2026 net income compared to Q2 2025 was primarily due to lower gross margin coupled with the fair

value gain on investments recorded in Q2 2025 and higher finance expense, which were partially offset by lower income tax expense in

Q2 2026.

1Adjusted EBITDA, trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA, basic earnings (loss) (C$/share), and free cash flow 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”).

The Company’s total capex2 spend in Q2 2026 was $30.6 million compared to $28.8 million in Q2 2025 with the increase due to a planned

sulfuric acid plant turnaround and preventive maintenance activities related to the acidulation and granulation plants at Arraias and MgO

reduction development activities at Conda.

H1 2026 Financial Highlights

For H1 2026, the Company’s financial highlights were as follows:

 Revenues of $286.2 million in H1 2026 compared to $262.5 million in H1 2025;

 Adjusted EBITDA 2 of $36.2 million in H1 2026 compared to $71.1 million in H1 2025;

 Net income (loss) of $(3.9) million in H1 2026 compared to $60.7 million in H1 2025;

 Basic earnings (loss) 2 of C$(0.03)/share in H1 2026 compared to C$0.44/share in H1 2025; and

 Free cash flow 2 of $(6.1) million in H1 2026 compared to $42.1 million in H1 2025.

The decrease in the Company’s H1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA compared to H1 2025 was primarily due to higher sulfur and sulfuric acid

costs at Conda and Arraias and higher selling, general, and administrative expenses.

The decrease in the Company’s H1 2026 net income compared to H1 2025 was primarily due to lower gross margin, the gain on the sale

of the Araxá project recorded in H1 2025, the fair value gain on investments recorded in H1 2025 and higher finance expense, wh ich

were partially offset by lower income tax expense

The Company’s total capex spend in H1 2026 was $43.2 million co mpared to $38.7 million in H1 2025 with the increase due to the

planned sulfuric acid plant turnaround and preventive maintenance activities related to the acidulation and granulation plants at Arraias

and MgO reduction development activities at Conda.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s financial highlights were as follows:

 Trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA 2 of $123.8 million;

 Net debt 2 of $31.2 million; and

 Net leverage ratio 2 of 0.3x.

FY 2026 Market and Financial Outlook

Market Outlook

Phosphate fertilizer prices increased during Q2 2026 primarily driven by supply constraints stemming from the ongoing hostilities in Iran

and the broader Middle East and the associated disruption in global trade resulting from the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz. MAP

NOLA prices exceeded $800 per short ton during Q2 2026, slightly above the highest levels seen during 2025 that had been influenced

primarily by the U.S. import tariff policies.

Raw material prices have increased at materially higher rates and remained at higher levels relative to finished product prices, negatively

impacting operating margins across the industry . Spot sulfur prices in Vancouver, Cana da were approximately $500 per ton before the

start of the conflict in Iran a nd the Middle East, having increased to levels above those seen during the Russia/Ukraine war in 2022 on

increased demand in Asia for metals processing. Following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, where approximately 45% of global supply

passes, prices spiked above $1,000 per ton during Q2 2026 and have remained at these peak levels. Tampa, Florida Ammonia prices

were approximately $625 per ton prior to t he start of the conflict, up about 25% versus the prior year and then rose to $775 - $825 per

ton during Q2 2026.

Higher input prices and the lack of availability of raw materials have driven a number of production curtailments, even among the largest

phosphate producers in the world. Accordi ng to public reports, OCP pulled forward main tenance operations at its facilities duri ng the

quarter and indications were that production rates were as low as 50% of operating capacity exit ing Q2 2026. The Mosaic Company

announced temporary curtailments of production at its Brazil and Louisiana facilities during the quarter and indicated that there would be

further cutbacks in rate at sites in Florida, Louisiana and Brazil due to high sulfur prices.

China had announced that it will restrict phosphate fertilizer exports throu gh August 2026. Total exports on a P 2O5 basis were down

approximately 54% through May 2026 on a year-over-year basis. T he consensus among industry analysts is moving toward an

expectation that China will extend the phosphate export ban throu gh the end of 2026 which, if r ealized, will further negatively impact

global supply.

The Trump administration issued an executiv e order in late Q2 2026 temporarily suspending the countervailing duties (“CVD”) on

phosphate imports from Morocco that have been in place since 2021. The latest CVD rates were 16.8%. Subsequently during the ongoing

sunset review, the Department of Commerce announced a preliminary determination that a revocation of the CVD would likely lead to a

recurrence of a subsidy and proposed an updated rate of 20.04% on phosphate imports from Morocco. In addition, the Trump

administration imposed tariffs of 10 to 12.5 percent on goods from over 80 countries u nder Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to

replace duties that had been struck down by the Supreme Court but provided broad exemptions for various products and raw materials.

Netbacks to producers for phosphate exports to the US are more than $100 per ton less than many alternative international markets, so

it is unclear how much, if any, this change in policy will impact phosphate supplies in the US.

Multiple ceasefires between US and Iranian forces have been announced since early Q2 2026, with varying degrees of temporary

success. Following a ceasefire announced in June 2026, certain cargoes of phosphate and sulfur that had been bottlenecked in the Strait

of Hormuz were able to make passage to international ports. Howeve r, the flow of trade remained well below historical levels, a nd the

ceasefire was subsequently abandoned in July 2026 in response to attacks on vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

The Company expects that supply chains will be disrupted, global supplies of fertilizers and associated raw material inputs will be limited,

and commodity prices will be elevated in 2026 and potentially beyond.

Fertilizer affordability indexes continue to point towards lower demand from domestic farmers based on the relative cost of inputs versus

prices received for crops. However, that ratio has begun to impr ove with corn, wheat and soybean prices increasing at the end o f Q2

2026. In addition, an incremental $12 billio n in farmer assistance spending passed the US House of Representatives in July 2026 ,

potentially helping farmer income through the end of the year.

Looking ahead, the Company anticipates phosphate prices to remain at elevated levels through the remainder of 2026 primarily due to:

 continued supply chain and production issues related to the hostilities in Iran and other parts of the Middle East;

 ongoing phosphate fertilizer expor t restrictions from China; and

 phosphate supply curtailments from major global suppliers due to elevated cost and lack of supply of raw materials.

Financial Outlook

The Company revised its guidance for 2026 as follows from that previously announced in the Company news release dated February 11,

2026:

(in millions of US Dollars Projected

except as otherwise noted) FY 2026

Sales Volumes (thousands of tonnes P2O5) 3 340-355

Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses4 $16-20

Maintenance capex4 $23-28

Growth capex4 $63-83

Environmental and asset retirement obligations payments $25-30

The Company’s revised guidance for FY 2026 is explained as follows:

 increased the low end of sales volumes from 335 thousand tonnes P 2O5 to 340 thousand tonnes P 2O5 based on actual sales

through the first half of the year; and

 lowered the high end of maintenance capex from $33 million to $28 million as we prudently review cash expenditures given the

current market dynamics.

Q2 and H1 2026 Market Highlights

MAP New Orleans (“NOLA”) prices averaged $778/st in Q2 2026 compared to $690/st in Q2 2025, up 13% year-over-year, and averaged

$721/st in H1 2026 compared to $643/st in H1 2025, up 12% year-over-year.

Specific factors driving the year-over-year increase in MAP NOLA prices were as follows:

 global supply chain disruptions affecting fertilizers and associated raw materials resulting from the conflict in Iran;

 significantly reduced Chinese exports of Diammonium Ph osphate (“DAP”), MAP and Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium (“NPK”)

fertilizers due to expanded government-induced export restrictions;

 global phosphate production curtailments , particularly notable in Morrocco, the US and Russia, due to high priced or scarce raw

sulfur inputs and the ongoing conflicts in Iran and Ukraine; and

 moderately stronger global demand, particularly from Africa and India, and decreased US retail demand due to the relative price

of fertilizer inputs costs versus crop prices.

3Sales volumes reflect quantity in P2O5 of Conda sales projections.

4Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, maintenance capex, growth capex, trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net

debt, net leverage ratio, 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.

June 30, 2026, Highlights

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA4 of $123.8 million compared to $158.7 million as of December

31, 2025 with the decrease primarily due to the same factors that resulted in lower Adjusted EBITDA 4 during H1 2026 as compared to

H1 2025 described above.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had net debt4 of $31.2 million compared to $19.5 million as of December 31, 2025, with the reduction

primarily due to lower cash and cash equivalents which was partially offset by lower debt. The Company’s net debt4 as of June 30, 2026

was comprised of $53.3 million in cash and $85.1 million in debt (gross of deferred financing costs). As of June 30, 2026 and December

31, 2025, the Company’s net leverage ratio4 was 0.3x and 0.1x, respectively.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had liquidity 4 of $133.3 million comprised of $53.3 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 Q2 2026, the Company sustained EHS performance, includin g no reportable environmental releases and one recordable

incident, which resulted in a consolidated total recordable incident frequency rate (“TRIFR”) of 0.53.

 For H1 2026, the Company sustained EHS performance, includ ing no reportable environmental releases and two recordable

incidents, which resulted in a consolidated TRIFR of 0.53.

Conda

In Q2 2026, Conda:

 Produced 79,306 tonnes P 2O5 compared to 79,606 tonnes P 2O5 in Q2 2025 which remained consistent with higher MAP

production offset by lower SPA production;

 Generated revenues of $127.0 million comp ared to $116.6 million in Q2 2025 with the increase primarily due to higher MAP and

Superphosphoric acid (“SPA”) realized prices; and

 Generated Adjusted EBITDA 5 of $17.6 million compared to $32.9 million in Q2 2025 with the decrease primarily due to lower

cash margin per tonne P2O55 driven by higher cash costs due to sulfur market dynamics.

In H1 2026, Conda:

 Produced 166,882 tonnes P 2O5 compared to 170,806 tonnes P 2O5 in H1 2025 with the decrease primarily due to a shift in

production mix to MAP from SPA;

 Generated revenues of $257.4 million compared to $244.9 million in H1 2025 with the increase primarily due to higher realized

prices for MAP and SPA products, partially offset by the impact of sales volumes mix; and

 Generated Adjusted EBITDA 5 of $39.6 million compared to $73.8 million in H1 2025 with the decrease primarily due to lower

cash margin per tonne P2O55, driven by higher cash costs due to sulfur market dynamics.

Mine Life Extension

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company advanced activities related to the extension of Conda’s mine life as

follows:

 successfully commenced regular loading of or e trains from the H1/NDR tipple to the plant, which ensures ore continuity for the

2026 shipping and production season and beyond; and

 advanced engineering and construction activities for the new pr ocessing facility designed to lo wer the magnesium content of

the ore from the H1/NDR mines to maintain P2O5 production capacity at the plant (the “MgO Reduction Project”).

MgO Reduction Project

Management recently completed a review of the expected timing for completion and cost of the company’s MgO Reduction Project.

Following this review, the Company now expects that the MgO Reduction Project will be completed and operational during Conda’s 2028

turnaround activities. As a result of the change in timing of the MgO Reduction Project, management has decided to defer the lo ng

turnaround scheduled at Conda from 2027 to 2028. Management believes that the deferral of the MgO Reduction Project completion will

further de-risk the project execution providing additional time for construction and commissioning activities.

The optimization of the MgO Reduction Project has resulted in an increase in the total projected capital costs. The Company now forecasts

that the total project cost from Q3 2025 to project completion to be between $95 and $110 million, compared to the original for ecast of

5 Adjusted EBITDA and cash margin per tonne P2O5 are a non-IFRS financial measure. For additional information on non-IFRS and other financial

measures, see “Non-IFRS financial measures” below.

$80 to $95 million. The changes to the forecasted completion date and project costs have no impact on maintenance or growth cap ex

guidance for 2026, which are at $23 to $28 million and $63 to $83 million, respectively as described in the Financial Outlook s ection

above.

Exploration and Appraisal Program at Conda

As H1/NDR mining activities continue, the Company is focused on identifying and pursuing opportunities to add resources and reserves

to Conda to extend mine life beyond the curr ent Conda Technical Report estimate of mid- 2037. To pursue this objective, the Comp any

has commenced a multi-year, multi-lease expl oration, resource evaluation and permitting program at Conda with an expected annua l

cost of approximately $6,000 to $8,000.

Activities in the first half of the year focused on planning, preparation, and initial drilling activities, which will continue to peak into Q3

2026. Drilling activities will include in-fill drilling to further define reserves at Husky 1, initial resource delineation drilling on the Dry Ridge

lease to generate initial resource models, and core drilling of the Husky 3 and Husky 4 leases to identify site geology and cha racterize

the resource. Geologic evaluation and permitting activities also advanced during the quarter.

Sulfuric Acid Amended Agreement (as announced in the Company news release dated May 14, 2026).

On May 14, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to its long-term sulfuric acid supply agreement with Rio Tinto Kennecott, a

key supplier of sulfuric acid for the Company's Conda phosphate production facility in Idaho.

Pursuant to the amended Sulfuric Acid Supply Agreement, the Company will continue to purchase sulfuric acid from the Kennecott mine

in Utah. Under the amended agreement, the re ference index price will change from the V ancouver Index to the Tampa Index from Ma y

1, 2026 through December 31, 2029. To prom ote long-term value for both U.S. farming and mining industries, the parties have agr eed

to an adjusted sulfuric acid price until December 31, 2029 to help address significant price volatility of sulfur over the last four years.

Additional modifications to the Sulfuric Acid Supply Agreement around delivered volumes have been negotiated to provide greater

flexibility for incremental supply (subject to availability). Conda has historically sourced approximately 60% of its sulfuric acid requirements

from Rio Tinto, and it is expected that it will purchase similar volumes under the ame nded Sulfuric Acid Supply Agreement. Afte r

December 31, 2029, it is expected that the Company will continue to purchase sulfuric acid from Rio Tinto.

Planned Turnaround

In June 2026, the Company completed a planned turnaround at Conda. The underlying maintenance activities were completed on

schedule and within budget, with one recordable injury and no environmental incidents. Production has resumed as of June 30, 2026.

Arraias

In Q2 2026, Arraias:

 Produced 15,494 tonnes of excess sulfuric acid compared to 29,658 tonnes in Q2 2025 with the decrease due to a planned

sulfuric acid plant turnaround and higher inte rnal sulfuric acid consumption in the acidulation process, which reduced excess

volumes available for sale compared to prior year;

 Produced 16,494 tonnes P 2O5, compared to 10,194 tonnes P2O5 in Q2 2025, with the increase due to higher demand for fertilizer

products and a full quarter of Granulated Partially Acidulated Rock (“G-PAPR”) production compared to the prior year; and

 Generated Adjusted EBITDA 6 of $4.7 million compared to $3.4 million in Q2 2025 with the increase primarily due to higher

realized prices and higher sales volumes in tonnes P2O5, which were partially offset by higher sulfur costs.

In H1 2026, Arraias:

 Produced 51,163 tonnes of sulfuric acid compared to 66,948 tonnes in H1 2025 with the decrease due to a planned sulfuric acid

plant turnaround and higher internal sulfuric acid consumpt ion by the acidulation process, which reduced excess volumes

available for sale compared to H1 2025;

 Produced 16,854 tonnes P 2O5 compared to 10,727 tonnes P2O5 in H1 2025, with the increase due to higher demand for fertilizer

products and a full quarter of G-PAPR production compared to the prior year; and

 Generated Adjusted EBITDA 6 of $6.2 million compared to $5.4 million in H1 2025 with the increase primarily due to higher

realized prices and higher sales volumes in tonnes P2O5, which were partially offset by higher sulfur costs.

in accordance with IFRS. Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures are
