Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract] |
Noncontrolling Interest | We have a strategic venture with CHS Inc. (CHS) under which CHS owns an equity interest in CFN, a subsidiary of CF Holdings, which represents approximately 11% of the membership interests of CFN. We own the remaining membership interests. Under the terms of CFN’s limited liability company agreement, each member’s interest will reflect, over time, the impact of the profitability of CFN, any member contributions made to CFN and withdrawals and distributions received from CFN. For financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities and earnings of the strategic venture are consolidated into our financial statements. CHS’ interest in the strategic venture is recorded in noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of noncontrolling interest and distributions payable to the noncontrolling interest in our consolidated balance sheets is provided below.

CHS also receives deliveries pursuant to a supply agreement under which CHS has the right to purchase annually from CFN up to approximately 1.1 million tons of granular urea and 580,000 tons of UAN at market prices. As a result of its equity interest in CFN, CHS is entitled to semi-annual cash distributions from CFN. We are also entitled to semi-annual cash distributions from CFN. The amounts of distributions from CFN to us and CHS are based generally on the profitability of CFN and determined based on the volume of granular urea and UAN sold by CFN to us and CHS pursuant to supply agreements, less a formula driven amount based primarily on the cost of natural gas used to produce the granular urea and UAN, and adjusted for the allocation of items such as operational efficiencies and overhead amounts. On July 31, 2024, the CFN Board of Managers approved semi-annual distribution payments for the distribution period ended June 30, 2024 in accordance with CFN’s limited liability company agreement. On July 31, 2024, CFN distributed $165 million to CHS for the distribution period ended June 30, 2024.
