Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Litigation Settlement Gain | Litigation Settlement Gain In March 2026, CF Industries Sales, LLC and CF Industries Nitrogen, LLC, both subsidiaries of CF Holdings, signed an agreement to settle litigation with Orica International Pte Ltd and certain other affiliates of Orica Limited (Orica) and Nelson Brothers Inc. and Nelson Brothers LLC. In connection with the resolution of the litigation pursuant to the settlement, Orica agreed to pay us approximately $170 million in cash no later than April 30, 2026, and issued a press release confirming the settlement terms and Orica’s funding source. The settlement also provided for the termination of the AN purchase agreements entered into in February 2014 between the parties. Upon execution of the settlement agreement, we concluded that the settlement payment was unconditional and legally enforceable, thus the gain contingency was considered realized during the first quarter of 2026. Accordingly, we recognized a gain of approximately $170 million, which is reflected in litigation settlement gain in our consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The corresponding receivable is included in other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026. On April 30, 2026, we received the cash payment from Orica.
