General
Our results of operations and operating cash flows are impacted by changes in market prices of ammonia and natural gas and changes in market interest rates.
Forward Sales Commitments Risk
Periodically, we enter into forward firm sales commitments for products to be delivered in future periods. As a result, we could be exposed to embedded losses should our product costs exceed the firm sales prices at the end of a reporting period. At June 30, 2026, we had no embedded losses associated with sales commitments with firm sales prices.
Commodity Price Risk
A substantial portion of our products and raw materials are commodities whose prices fluctuate as market supply and demand fundamentals change. Since we are exposed to commodity price risk, we periodically enter into contracts to purchase natural gas for anticipated production needs to manage risk related to changes in prices of natural gas commodities. Generally, these contracts are considered normal purchases because they provide for the purchase of natural gas that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used over a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business, and as such, are exempt from derivative accounting requirements. At June 30, 2026, we had no outstanding natural gas contracts which are subject to derivative accounting requirements.
Interest Rate Risk
We may be exposed to variable interest rate risk with respect to our Revolving Credit Facility when there are outstanding borrowings. As of June 30, 2026, we had no outstanding borrowings on this credit facility and no other variable rate borrowings and, as a result, we currently do not hedge our interest rate risk associated with any variable interest rate loan.
