The value we create for our shareholders over time is central to our recognition within our industry.

Our cost-curve position measures our production efficiency versus competitors. According to independent business analysis and consultancy group, CRU, today we rank in the first (best) quartile in Phosphates and in the third quartile in Potash.

Our goal is to continually improve our relative position on the cost curve in both our Potash and Phosphates businesses.

Total shareholder return takes into consideration annual appreciation in our stock value and dividend payments. In comparison to companies in our peer group** over the past five years, Mosaic is slightly behind the sector average today. We believe that as the quality of our production assets, our execution capabilities and the value creation potential of our strategic initiatives are recognized, these strengths will be reflected in our five-year total returns.

Our goal is to consistently be in the top three of our peers.
