Unless the context otherwise requires, for purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words "CHS," "we," "us" and "our" refer to CHS Inc., a Minnesota cooperative corporation, and its subsidiaries as of May 31, 2026.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains, and our other CHS Inc. publicly available documents contain, and our officers, directors and representatives may from time to time make "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "goal," "seek," "believe," "project," "estimate," "expect," "strategy," "future," "likely," "may," "should," "will" and similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our businesses, financial condition and results of operations, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements are discussed or identified in our filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the "Risk Factors" discussion in Item 1A of the CHS Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025. These factors may include changes in commodity prices; political, economic, legal and other risks of doing business globally; ongoing wars and global conflicts; global and regional factors impacting the supply of or demand for our products; the impact of government policies, mandates, regulations and trade agreements, including the imposition of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs; the impact of inflation; the impact of competitive business markets; any loss of members who choose to do business with other companies instead of us; the impact of market acceptance of alternatives to refined petroleum products; consolidation among our suppliers and customers; nonperformance or nonpayment by contractual counterparties; deterioration in credit quality of third parties who owe us money; the effectiveness of our risk management strategies; actual or perceived quality, safety or health risks associated with our products; business interruptions, casualty losses and supply chain issues; the impact of epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks of disease and other adverse public health developments; the impact of workforce factors; technological improvements and sustainability initiatives that decrease demand for our products; technical, legal and opportunistic-related risks from advancements in artificial intelligence; security breaches or other disruptions in our information technology systems or assets; increased scrutiny and changing expectations with respect to environmental, social and governance practices; failures or delays in achieving strategies or expectations related to climate change or other environmental matters; our ability to complete, integrate and benefit from acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures, divestitures and other nonordinary course-of-business events; changes in federal income tax laws or our tax status; the impact and costs of compliance or noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations; the costs of compliance with environmental and energy laws and regulations; the impact of environmental liabilities and litigation; the impact of seasonality; the impairment of long-lived assets; our funding needs and financing sources; financial institutions’ and other capital sources’ policies concerning energy-related businesses; limits on our ability to access equity capital due to our cooperative structure; and other factors affecting our businesses generally. Any forward-looking statements made by us in this document are based only on information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on which the statement is made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise except as required by applicable law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year because of the seasonal nature of our businesses, among other things. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended August 31, 2025, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Effective September 1, 2025, we changed our segment reporting to align with our new product-line operating model, as further described in Note 10, Segment Reporting.
Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to current period classification.
Significant Accounting Policies
No significant accounting policies were updated or changed since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides additional transparency for income tax disclosures. This ASU is effective for our annual reporting for fiscal year 2026 on a prospective basis with an option for retrospective application. While the adoption of this ASU will not impact the recognition or measurement of income taxes, it will result in expanded and enhanced income tax disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements. This ASU is effective for our annual reporting for fiscal year 2028 on either a prospective or retrospective basis and for interim reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2029. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU amends the criteria for recognizing and capitalizing costs related to internal-use software by replacing the previous project stage model with a principles-based framework. Under this ASU, costs are capitalized when management has authorized and committed to funding a software project and it is probable the project will be completed and the software used as intended. This ASU is effective for our annual reporting for fiscal year 2029 on either a prospective, retrospective or modified prospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. This ASU provides recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements for government grants. Under the new guidance, proceeds from government grants must be recognized in earnings during the same period the underlying costs associated with grant eligibility are incurred. However, grant income must not be recognized unless it is probable the grant will be received and the entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant. This ASU is effective for our interim reporting beginning in fiscal year 2030. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. This ASU improves clarity for interim financial reporting requirements under existing guidance within Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 270, Interim Reporting, by creating a comprehensive list of interim disclosure requirements, clarifying scope and applicability, and adding a principle to disclose all material events that have occurred since the most

Table of Contents
recently filed Form 10-K. This ASU is effective for our interim reporting beginning in fiscal year 2029. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818), which provides recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements for entities that generate, purchase or receive environmental credits or have regulatory compliance obligations that may be settled with environmental credits, including renewable identification numbers (“RINs”). This ASU is effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are required to be applied on a retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of capital reserves as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets relate to unbilled amounts arising from goods that have already been transferred to customers where the right to payment is not conditional on the passage of time. This results in recognition of an asset as the amount of revenue recognized at a certain point in time exceeds the amount billed to customers. Contract assets are recorded in receivables within

| (Dollars in thousands)
Trade accounts receivable | $ | 3,011,558 |  |  | $ | 2,122,697 |
CHS Capital short-term notes receivable | 1,147,808 |  |  | 1,053,413 |

Gross receivables | 4,636,407 |  |  | 3,768,297 |
Less: allowances and reserves | 94,260 |  |  | 81,712 |
Total receivables | $ | 4,542,147 |  |  | $ | 3,686,585 |

Receivables are composed of trade accounts receivable, short-term notes receivable in our wholly-owned subsidiary, CHS Capital, LLC ("CHS Capital"), and other receivables, less an allowance for expected credit losses. The allowance for expected credit losses is based on our best estimate of expected credit losses in existing receivable balances and is determined using historical write-off experience, adjusted for various industry and regional data and current expectations of future credit losses.
Notes receivable from commercial borrowers are collateralized by various combinations of mortgages, personal property, accounts and notes receivable, inventories and assignments of certain regional cooperatives' capital stock. These loans are primarily originated in the states of Minnesot a, North Dakota, Illinois an d Montana. CHS Capital also has loans receivable from producer borrowers that are collateralized by various combinations of growing crops, livestock, inventories, accounts receivable, personal property and supplemental mortgages and are primarily originated in the same states as the commercial notes, as well as in South Dakota.
In addition to the short-term balances included in the table above, CHS Capital had long-term notes receivable, with durations of generally not more than 10 years, totaling $141.7 million and $123.8 million as of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025, respectively. The long-term notes receivable are included in other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025, commercial notes represented 34% and 24%, respectively, and producer notes represented 66% and 76%, respectively, of total CHS Capital notes receivable.
CHS Capital has commitments to extend credit to customers if there are no violations of contractually established conditions. As of May 31, 2026, CHS Capital customers had additional available credit of $1.2 billion. No significant troubled debt restructuring activity occurred, and no third-party customer or borrower accounted for more than 10% of the total receivables balance as of May 31, 2026, or August 31, 2025.

As of both May 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025, we valued approximately 18% of inventories, primarily crude oil and refined fuels within our Energy segment, using the lower of cost, determined on the last in, first out ("LIFO") method, or net realizable value. If the first in, first out ("FIFO") method of accounting had been used, inventories would have been higher than the reported amount by $618.4 million and $361.1 million as of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025, respectively. Actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on inventory levels and costs at that time. Interim LIFO calculations are based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and values and are subject to final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Joint ventures and other investments in which we have significant ownership and influence, but not control, are accounted for in our condensed consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Our significant equity method investments during the nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, consist of CF Industries Nitrogen, LLC ("CF Nitrogen") and Ventura Foods, LLC ("Ventura Foods"), which are summarized below. In addition to the recognition of our share of income from these investments, our equity method investments are evaluated for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment on an ongoing basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Other investments consist primarily of investments in cooperatives without readily determinable fair values and are generally recorded at cost, unless an impairment or other observable market price change occurs that requires an adjustment. We had approximately $807.9 million in cumulative undistributed earnings from our equity method investees included in the investments balance as of May 31, 2026.
CF Nitrogen
We have a $2.6 billion investment in CF Nitrogen, a strategic venture with CF Industries Holdings, Inc. ("CF Industries"). The investment consists of an approximate 8.38% membership interest (based on product tons) in CF Nitrogen. We account for this investment using the hypothetical liquidation at book value method, recognizing our share of the earnings and losses of CF Nitrogen as equity income from investments in our Agronomy segment based on our contractual claims on the entity's net assets pursuant to the liquidation provisions of CF Nitrogen's Limited Liability Company Agreement, adjusted for semiannual cash distributions.
The following table provides summarized unaudited financial information for our equity method investment in CF Nitrogen for the nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025.

Producer Ag
On October 10, 2025, we announced our mutual intent with Mid-Kansas Cooperative to start the process of ending our joint venture in Producer Ag. On December 31, 2025, we finalized an agreement to exit the joint venture. As part of this agreement, CHS received consideration in the form of working capital, primarily inventory and cash, in exchange for our equity interest, which represented approximately 57% of the net assets, and amounts previously owed to CHS.
As of May 31, 2026, CHS had no remaining investment balance in Producer Ag, and the corresponding final settlement had no impact on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Note 6 Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt
Our notes payable and long-term debt are subject to various restrictive requirements for maintenance of minimum consolidated net worth and other financial ratios. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of May 31, 2026. Notes payable as of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025, consisted of the following:

| May 31, 2026 |  | August 31, 2025

Our primary line of credit is a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of domestic and international banks. The credit facility provides a committed amount of $2.8 billion that expires on April 21, 2028. There were $190.0 million and $180.0 million in borrowings outstanding on this facility as of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025. We also maintain certain uncommitted bilateral facilities to support our working capital needs.
We have a receivables and loans securitization facility ("Securitization Facility") with certain unaffiliated financial institutions ("Purchasers"). Under the Securitization Facility, we and certain of our subsidiaries ("Originators") sell trade accounts and notes receivable ("Receivables") to Cofina Funding, LLC ("Cofina"), a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote, indirect subsidiary of CHS. Cofina in turn transfers the Receivables to the Purchasers, and this arrangement is accounted for as secured financing. We use the proceeds from the sale of Receivables under the Securitization Facility for general corporate purposes, and settlements are made on a monthly basis. The amount available under the Securitization Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible Receivables generated during the normal course of business. The Securitization Facility consists of a committed portion with a maximum availability of $850.0 million and an uncommitted portion with a maximum availability of $250.0 million. As of May 31, 2026, total availability under the Securitization Facility was $1.1 billion, of which $650.0 million was utilized. As of August 31, 2025, total availability under the Securitization Facility was $802.6 million, of which $296.0 million was utilized.
We also have a repurchase facility ("Repurchase Facility"). Under the Repurchase Facility, we can obtain repurchase agreement financing up to $250.0 million for certain eligible receivables and notes receivable of the Originators. As of May 31,

2026, we fully utilized the amount available to us under the Repurchase Facility totaling $250.0 million. As of August 31, 2025, $159.7 million was utilized.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2026, we drew $300.0 million on our revolving term loan facility (the "Facility") for long-term capital planning purposes and utilized the proceeds to reduce short-term amounts outstanding. Our intent is to allow the balance outstanding to revert to a nonrevolving term loan that is payable on October 29, 2029. As of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025, there were $300.0 million and no amounts outstanding under this Facility, respectively.
The following table presents summarized long-term debt (including the current portion) as of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025.

Interest expense for the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, was $49.7 million and $44.1 million, respectively, net of capitalized interest of $4.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively. Interest expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, was $130.8 million and $97.0 million, respectively, net of capitalized interest of $19.0 million and $22.8 million, respectively.
Note 7 Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2026, was 5.2%, compared to 10.5% for the three months ended May 31, 2025. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended May 31, 2026, was 2.2%, compared to 7.3% for the nine months ended May 31, 2025. Our income tax expense reflects the mix of full-year earnings projected across business units and current equity assumptions, along with benefits associated with certain tax credits. Income taxes and effective tax rates vary each year based on profitability, changes in tax law, income tax credits and patronage business activity.
Our uncertain tax positions are affected by the tax years that are under audit or remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. Reserves are recorded against unrecognized tax benefits when we believe certain fully supportable tax return positions are likely to be challenged, and we may not prevail. If we were to prevail on all positions taken in relation to uncertain tax positions, $105.6 million and $96.5 million of the unrecognized tax benefits would benefit our effective tax rate as of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could change significantly in the next 12 months.

Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were related to pension and other postretirement benefits, cash flow hedges and foreign currency translation adjustments. Pension and other postretirement reclassifications include amortization of net actuarial loss, prior service credit and transition amounts and are recorded as cost of goods sold and marketing, general and administrative expenses (see Note 9, Benefit Plans, for further information). As described in Note 11, Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities, amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for cash flow hedges are recorded in cost of goods sold. Gains or losses on foreign currency translation reclassifications are recorded in other income.
Note 9 Benefit Plans
We have various pension and other defined benefit and defined contribution plans, in which substantially all employees may participate. We also have nonqualified supplemental executive and Board of Directors retirement plans.

Employer Contributions
Contributions depend primarily on market returns on the pension plan assets and minimum funding level requirements. No contributions were made to the pension plans during the nine months ended May 31, 2026, and we do not anticipate being required to make contributions to our pension plans in fiscal 2026, although we may voluntarily elect to do so.
Note 10 Segment Reporting
We are an integrated agricultural cooperative, providing grain, food, agronomy and energy resources to businesses and consumers on a global basis. We provide a wide variety of products and services, from initial agricultural inputs such as fuels, farm supplies, crop nutrients and crop protection products, to agricultural outputs that include grain and oilseed, processed grain and oilseed, renewable fuels and food products.
Effective September 1, 2025, we implemented a new product-line operating model, which changed the manner in which our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates performance and allocates resources in managing the business. As a result of this change, all prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current year presentation. We define our operating segments in accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, and have three reportable segments: Energy, Grains and Agronomy. The primary measure of segment profit or loss used by our CODM to regularly evaluate financial performance, make key operating decisions and determine resource allocation of and among each operating segment is income before income taxes ("IBIT"). Our CODM regularly reviews discrete financial information, including IBIT, that compares actual results to the prior period, current period budget and current period forecast by each reportable segment. We have identified our significant segment expenses as cost of goods sold ("COGS") and marketing, general and administrative expenses. Total assets is not a measure by which the CODM assesses our performance or allocates resources, and asset information is therefore not included within our segment reporting disclosures.
•The Energy segment consists of our wholesale and retail activities within the refined fuels, propane and lubricants product lines. The refined fuels product line includes petroleum refining, pipelines and terminals and markets gasoline, diesel fuel and renewable fuels under the Cenex® brand to member cooperatives and other independent retailers. The lubricants product line includes the blending, sale and distribution of primarily Cenex® brand lubricants, and the propane product line markets propane and other natural gas liquids through wholesale and retail market channels. Previously, this segment included our transportation services business, which is now reported under Corporate and Services.

•The Grains segment comprises our global grain marketing and processing activities as part of the feed grains, oilseeds, wheat, specialty grains and animal nutrition product lines. The Grains segment connects producers to domestic and global grain markets through a broad origination and distribution network. It markets commodities such as wheat, corn, ethanol, soybeans, oilseeds and specialty grains. The segment operates grain facilities and trading offices across five continents, serving processors, food manufacturers and renewable fuel producers. Further, the Grains segment produces ethanol and is one of the nation's largest suppliers of ethanol inputs into gasoline products, while also specializing in soybean and canola processing. These results were previously included within the former Ag segment.
•The Agronomy segment consists of our wholesale and retail agronomy activities within the crop nutrients and crop protection product lines. The Agronomy segment provides crop inputs and agronomy services to farmers, member cooperatives and other retailers. It offers crop nutrients, crop protection products and seed, including both proprietary and third-party brands. The Agronomy segment also includes our Nitrogen Production business consisting of our equity method investment in CF Nitrogen. Our supply agreement with CF Nitrogen requires us to purchase a specified quantity of granular urea and urea ammonium nitrate annually from CF Nitrogen. These results were previously included within the former Ag and Nitrogen Production segments.
•Our ag retail business, which was included in our former Ag segment, is now incorporated into the Energy, Grains and Agronomy segments based on the specific products sold and their relevant product lines.
The Company's remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified within Corporate and Services. Corporate and Services primarily represents our financing and hedging businesses, which provide services to our members and consist of a financial services business and a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission-regulated futures commission merchant ("FCM") for agricultural commodities hedging. Our nonconsolidated investments in Ventura Foods, LLC, and Ardent Mills, LLC ("Ardent Mills"), are also included in our Corporate and Services category. All other nonconsolidated investments are included in our Energy, Grains and Agronomy segments.
Corporate administrative expenses and interest are allocated to each reportable segment and Corporate and Services, based on direct use of services, such as information technology support and legal counsel, and other factors or considerations relevant to the costs incurred.
Many of our business activities are highly seasonal and our operating results vary throughout the year. Our revenues and IBIT generally trend lower during the second fiscal quarter and increase in the third fiscal quarter. Our retail business, which offers products and services across the Energy, Grains and Agronomy segments, primarily experiences higher volumes and revenues during the fall harvest and spring planting seasons, which generally correspond to our first and third fiscal quarters, respectively, and our global grain and processing operations within Grains are subject to fluctuations in volume and revenues based on producer harvests, world grain prices, demand and international trade relationships. Additionally, our Agronomy segment generally experiences higher volumes and revenues during the spring planting season. Our Energy segment typically experiences higher volumes and revenues in certain operating areas, such as refined fuels, in the spring, summer and early fall when gasoline and diesel fuel use by agricultural producers is highest and is subject to global supply and demand forces. Other energy products, such as propane, generally experience higher volumes and revenues during the winter heating and fall crop-drying seasons.
Our revenues, assets and cash flows can be significantly affected by global market prices for commodities such as petroleum products, natural gas, grain, oilseed, crop nutrients, edible oils and flour. Changes in market prices for commodities that we purchase without a corresponding change in the selling prices of those products can affect revenues and operating earnings. Commodity prices are affected by a wide range of factors beyond our control, including weather; crop damage due to plant disease or insects; drought; availability and adequacy of supply; demand variability; availability of reliable rail, river, truck and ocean transportation networks; outbreaks of disease; government regulations and policies; global trade disputes; global competition; wars and civil unrest; and general political and economic conditions.
While our revenues and operating results are derived primarily from businesses and operations that are wholly owned or subsidiaries and limited liability companies in which we have a controlling interest, a portion of our business operations are conducted through companies in which we do not have a controlling interest or do not control the operations. We account for these investments primarily using the equity method of accounting, wherein we record our proportionate share of income or loss reported by the entity as equity income from investments, without consolidating the revenues and expenses of the entity in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In our Agronomy segment, this primarily consists of our approximate 8.38% membership interest (based on product tons) in CF Nitrogen. In Corporate and Services, this principally includes our 50% ownership in Ventura Foods and our 12% ownership in Ardent Mills. See Note 5, Investments, for more information related to our equity method investments.

Note 11 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
We enter into various derivative instruments to manage our exposure to movements primarily associated with agricultural and energy commodity prices and, to a lesser degree, foreign currency exchange rates. Except for certain cash-settled swaps related to future crude oil purchases and refined product sales, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, our derivative instruments represent economic hedges of price risk for which hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815 is not applied. Rather, the derivative instruments are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value being recorded directly to earnings, primarily within cost of goods sold in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 12, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information. The majority of our exchange-traded agricultural commodity futures are settled daily through CHS Hedging, LLC, our wholly-owned FCM.
Derivative assets and liabilities with maturities of less than 12 months are recorded in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of current derivative assets recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025, was $315.3 million an d $177.2 million, respectively. The amount of current derivative liabilities recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance

Foreign Exchange Contracts
We conduct a substantial portion of our business in U.S. dollars, but we are exposed to risks relating to foreign currency fluctuations, primarily due to global grain marketing transactions in South America, the Asia Pacific region and Europe and purchases of products from Canada. We use foreign currency derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. Although CHS has some risk exposure relating to foreign currency transactions, a larger impact with exchange rate fluctuations is the ability of foreign buyers to purchase U.S. agricultural products and the competitiveness of U.S. agricultural products compared to the same products offered by alternative sources of world supply. The notional amount of our foreign exchange derivative contracts was $2.5 billion and $1.7 billion as of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025, respectively.
Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Strategies
Certain pay-fixed, receive-variable, cash-settled swaps are designated as cash flow hedges of future crude oil purchases in our Energy segment. We also designate certain pay-variable, receive-fixed, cash-settled swaps as cash flow hedges of future refined energy product sales. These hedging instruments and the related hedged items are exposed to significant market price risk and potential volatility. As part of our risk management strategy, we look to hedge a portion of our expected future crude oil needs and the resulting refined product output based on prevailing futures prices, management's expectations about future commodity price changes and our risk appetite. We may also elect to dedesignate certain derivative instruments previously designated as cash flow hedges as part of our risk management strategy. Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income for these dedesignated derivative instruments remain in other comprehensive income and are recognized in earnings in the period in which the underlying transactions affect earnings. The aggregate notional amounts of cash flow hedges were 3.8 million a nd 5.1 million barrels as of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025, respectively.
The following table presents the fair value of our commodity derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and the locations on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in which they are recorded.

Note 12 Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction among the market participants on the measurement date.
We determine fair values of derivative instruments and certain other assets based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC Topic 820, which requires an entity to maximize use of observable inputs and minimize use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. ASC Topic 820 describes three levels within its hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity for the assets or liabilities. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement.
Recurring fair value measurements as of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025, are as follows:

Commodity and foreign exchange derivatives. Exchange-traded futures and options contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1. Our forward commodity purchase and sales contracts with fixed-price components, select ocean freight contracts and other OTC derivatives are determined using inputs that are generally based on exchange-traded prices and/or recent market bids and offers, including location-specific adjustments, and are classified within Level 2. Location-specific inputs are driven by local market supply and demand and are generally based on broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either listed or OTC markets. Changes in the fair values of these contracts are recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of cost of goods sold.
Segregated investments and marketable securities. Our segregated investments and marketable securities primarily include investments in U.S. Treasury securities, common stock and various government agency obligations.
Time deposits, money market funds and other assets. Our time deposits, money market funds and other assets primarily include investments in foreign time deposits with original maturities greater than 90 days, money market sweep accounts and rabbi trust assets.
U.S. Treasury securities, common stock, money market sweep accounts and rabbi trust assets are valued using quoted market prices and classified within Level 1. Investments in time deposits and various government agency obligations are valued using quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets and classified within Level 2.
Note 13 Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
We are required to comply with various environmental laws and regulations applicable to our normal business operations. To meet our compliance requirements, we establish reserves for future costs of remediation associated with identified issues that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of environmental costs are based on current available facts, existing technology, undiscounted site-specific costs and currently enacted laws and regulations and are included in cost of goods sold and marketing, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Recoveries, if any, are recorded in the period in which recovery is received. Liabilities are monitored and adjusted as new facts or changes in laws or technology occur. The resolution of any such matters may affect consolidated net income for any fiscal period; however, we currently believe any resulting liabilities, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for any fiscal year.

Table of Contents
Other Litigation and Claims
We are involved as a defendant in various lawsuits, claims and disputes, which are in the normal course of our business. The resolution of any such matters may affect consolidated net income for any fiscal period; however, we currently believe any resulting liabilities, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for any fiscal year.
Guarantees
We are a guarantor for lines of credit and performance obligations of related, nonconsolidated companies. Our bank covenants allow maximum guarantees of $1.1 billion, o f whic h $124.5 million wer e outstanding on May 31, 2026. We have collateral for a portion of these contingent obligations. We have not recorded a liability related to the contingent obligations as we do not expect to pay out any cash related to them, and the fair values are considered immaterial. The underlying loans to the counterparties for which we provide these guarantees were current as of May 31, 2026.

Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2025 (including the information presented therein under Risk Factors), as well as the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
CHS Inc. is a diversified company that provides grain, food, agronomy and energy resources to businesses and consumers on a global scale. As a cooperative, we are owned by farmers, ranchers and member cooperatives across the United States. We also have preferred shareholders who own our five series of preferred stock, all of which are listed and traded on the Global Select Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq").
Effective September 1, 2025, we changed the internal financial information reviewed by our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), our Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate performance and allocate resources to our operating segments. As a result of this change, all prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current year presentation. We have three reportable segments: Energy, Grains and Agronomy.
•The Energy segment consists of our wholesale and retail activities within the refined fuels, propane and lubricants product lines. The refined fuels product line includes petroleum refining, pipelines and terminals and markets gasoline, diesel fuel and renewable fuels under the Cenex® brand to member cooperatives and other independent retailers. The lubricants product line includes the blending, sale and distribution of primarily Cenex® brand lubricants, and the propane product line markets propane and other natural gas liquids through wholesale and retail market channels. Previously, this segment included our transportation services business, which is now reported under Corporate and Services.
•The Grains segment comprises our global grain marketing and processing activities as part of the feed grains, oilseeds, wheat, specialty grains and animal nutrition product lines. The Grains segment connects producers to domestic and global grain markets through a broad origination and distribution network. It markets commodities such as wheat, corn, ethanol, soybeans, oilseeds and specialty grains. The segment operates grain facilities and trading offices across five continents, serving processors, food manufacturers and renewable fuel producers. Further, the Grains segment produces ethanol and is one of the nation's largest suppliers of ethanol inputs into gasoline products, while also specializing in soybean and canola processing. These results were previously included within the former Ag segment.
•The Agronomy segment consists of our wholesale and retail agronomy activities within the crop nutrients and crop protection product lines. The Agronomy segment provides crop inputs and agronomy services to farmers, member cooperatives and other retailers. It offers crop nutrients, crop protection products and seed, including both proprietary and third-party brands. The Agronomy segment also includes our Nitrogen Production business consisting of our equity method investment in CF Nitrogen. Our supply agreement with CF Nitrogen requires us to purchase a specified quantity of granular urea and urea ammonium nitrate annually from CF Nitrogen. These results were previously included within the former Ag and Nitrogen Production segments.
•Our ag retail business, which was included in our former Ag segment, is now incorporated into the Energy, Grains and Agronomy segments based on the specific products sold and their relevant product lines.

Table of Contents
The Company's remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified within Corporate and Services. Corporate and Services primarily represents our financing and hedging businesses, which provide services to our members and consist of a financial services business and a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission-regulated futures commission merchant ("FCM") for agricultural commodities hedging. Our nonconsolidated investments in Ventura Foods, LLC ("Ventura Foods"), and Ardent Mills, LLC ("Ardent Mills"), are also included in our Corporate and Services category. All other nonconsolidated investments are included in our Energy, Grains and Agronomy segments.
Management's Focus. When evaluating our operating performance, management focuses on gross profit and income before income taxes ("IBIT"). As a company that operates heavily in global commodities, there is significant unpredictability and volatility in pricing, costs and global trade volumes. Consequently, we focus on managing the margin we can earn and the resulting IBIT. We also focus on ensuring balance sheet strength through appropriate management of financial liquidity, leverage, capital allocation and cash flow optimization.
Seasonality. Many of our business activities are highly seasonal and our operating results vary throughout the year. Our revenues and IBIT generally trend lower during the second fiscal quarter and increase in the third fiscal quarter. For example, in our Grains segment, our retail business generally experiences higher volumes and revenues during the fall harvest, which generally corresponds to our first fiscal quarter, and our global grain and processing operations within Grains are subject to fluctuations in volumes and revenues based on producer harvests, world grain prices, global demand and international trade relationships. Our Agronomy segment generally experiences higher volumes and revenues during the spring planting season. Our Energy segment generally experiences higher volumes and revenues in certain operating areas, such as refined fuel products, in the spring, summer and early fall when gasoline and diesel fuel use by agricultural producers is highest and is subject to global supply and demand forces. Other energy products, such as propane, generally experience higher volumes and revenues during the winter heating and fall crop-drying seasons. The tables below demonstrate the historical trend of seasonality inherent in our businesses.

Quarterly revenues as a percentage of annual total | Fiscal Year 2025 |  | Fiscal Year 2024 |  | Fiscal Year 2023 |  | 3-Year Average
Q1 | 26 | % |  | 29 | % |  | 28 | % |  | 28 | %

Q4 | 30 | % |  | 8 | % |  | 15 | % |  | 18 | %

Pricing and Volumes. Our revenues, assets and cash flows can be significantly affected by global market prices and sales volumes of commodities such as petroleum products, natural gas, grain, oilseed products and agronomy products. Changes in market prices for commodities we purchase without a corresponding change in the selling prices of those products can affect revenues and operating earnings. Similarly, increased or decreased sales volumes without a corresponding change in the purchase and selling prices of those products can affect revenues and operating earnings. Commodity prices and sales volumes are affected by a wide range of factors beyond our control, including weather; crop damage due to plant disease or insects; drought; availability/adequacy of supply of a commodity; availability of reliable rail, river, truck and ocean transportation networks; disease outbreaks; government regulations and policies; global trade disputes; global competition; wars and civil unrest; and general political and/or economic conditions.
Business Strategy
Our business strategies focus on an enterprisewide effort to create an experience that empowers customers to make CHS their first choice, expand market access to add value for our owners and transform and evolve our core businesses by capitalizing on changing market dynamics. To execute these strategies, we are focused on implementing agile, efficient and sustainable technology platforms; building robust and efficient supply chains; hiring, developing and retaining high-performing, diverse and passionate teams; achieving operational excellence and continuous improvement; and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Highlights
•Our Energy segment benefited from strong crack spreads driven by global market dynamics, which were mostly offset by record-high expenses for renewable energy credits.
•Grains performance was driven by continued global headwinds affecting grain margins, partially offset by strong oilseed crush margins.
•Continued strong performance by our CF Nitrogen equity method investment was partially offset by lower sales volumes of agronomy products, due to higher prices and ongoing weakness in the U.S. farm economy.
Fiscal 2026 Trends Update
Our segments operate in cyclical environments in which market conditions can change rapidly with significant positive or negative impacts on our results. We anticipate various macroeconomic factors will continue to drive uncertainty and instability in global energy and agricultural commodity markets, as well as global financial markets, which could have a significant impact on each of our segments during fiscal 2026 and beyond. These factors include, among others, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East and other regions; shifts in global trade flows for commodities, including global economic impacts from supply disruptions associated with access to the Strait of Hormuz; global competitiveness giving rise to a weak export market for U.S.-sourced agricultural products; potential changes in U.S. trade policy, including increased or fluctuating tariffs; a changing interest rate environment; and continued pricing pressures impacting costs of labor, freight and materials. These factors, or any form of them, could cause significant margin pressure and lower profitability. To mitigate these impacts, we evaluate the economic environment and adjust our operations and business strategies to help improve our position in the market. In addition to these broad macroeconomic factors, other factors could impact demand and pricing for agricultural inputs and outputs, as well as our ability to supply those inputs and outputs while remaining profitable. These include the cost of renewable energy credits, the price of which has been volatile in recent years and could positively or negatively impact our profitability. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") issued a renewable volume obligation ("RVO") in March 2026, which, as discussed in the MD&A Operating Metrics section, creates price uncertainty and volatility, while also significantly increasing the cost of our compliance with the program. Given the nature of our business, market dynamics and other mechanisms, it is possible the potential RVO compliance costs may be partially or wholly offset by certain other opportunities in our Energy and Grains businesses, but it is unknown if those opportunities will materialize. Additional factors that could impact demand and pricing of agricultural inputs and outputs include a weaker farm economy and regional factors, such as unpredictable weather conditions, including those due to climate change. We currently expect global economic factors impacting energy and agricultural commodities to be volatile and have the potential to be headwinds and/or tailwinds dependent on future global market conditions as they evolve throughout the remainder of fiscal 2026 and into fiscal 2027. Further, in light of uncertainty in the markets we serve, we are unable to predict how long the current environment will last or the significance of the financial and operational impacts to us; however, we currently expect the trend of volatile energy and agricultural commodities to persist throughout fiscal 2026 and into fiscal 2027. Refer to Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2025, for additional considerations these and other risks may have on our business operations and financial performance.
We will continue to execute our enterprise priorities for fiscal 2026, including maximizing our segments through our integrated supply chains and capitalizing on domestic and global opportunities, as we navigate uncertain market conditions for energy and agricultural commodities.
Operating Metrics
Energy
Our Energy segment operations primarily include our refineries in Laurel, Montana, and McPherson, Kansas, which process crude oil to produce refined products, including gasoline, distillates and other products. To ensure the reliability of our refineries, we perform major maintenance activities every two to five years, which require a temporary shutdown of operations. These planned shutdowns allow us to extend the life, increase the capacity and improve the safety and efficiency of our refinery processing assets. They also minimize unplanned business interruptions and are essential to the long-term reliability and profitability of our Energy segment.
During periods of maintenance, utilization rates, throughput volumes and refined fuel yields are lower, and we may purchase refined petroleum products from third parties to meet the needs of our customers. These third-party purchases may result in lower margins than for products produced by our refineries, which reduces our profitability.

Gasolines | 79,915 |  |  | 50,506 |  |  | 89,705 |  |  | 77,114 |  |  |  |  |
Distillates | 80,851 |  |  | 50,226 |  |  | 86,287 |  |  | 73,146 |  |  |  |  |

*Lower refinery throughput and refined fuels yields experienced during 2025 and 2026 are primarily due to planned major maintenance at our McPherson, Kansas, and Laurel, Montana, refineries, respectively.
We are subject to the Renewable Fuel Standard that requires refiners to blend renewable fuels (e.g., ethanol and biodiesel) into their finished transportation fuels or purchase renewable energy credits, known as renewable identification numbers ("RINs"), in lieu of blending. The EPA generally establishes new annual renewable fuel percentage standards for each compliance year in the preceding year. In March 2026, the EPA issued a final RVO for calendar years 2026 and 2027 that increased the renewable fuel percentage standards compared with the previous RVO. The new RVO represents the highest blending obligation ever issued by the EPA.
We generate RINs through our blending activities, but we cannot generate enough RINs to meet the needs of our refining capacity; therefore, RINs must be purchased on the open market. The price of RINs can be volatile, with prices for D6 ethanol RINs and D4 biodiesel RINs increasing by 95% and 85%, respectively, during the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the same period during the prior fiscal year. The final RVO has impacted the demand for RINs, and we expect continued price volatility along with elevated and potentially increasing RINs prices for the remainder of fiscal 2026 and into fiscal 2027. Estimates of our RINs expense are calculated using an average of RINs prices each month.
In addition to our internal operational reliability, the profitability of our Energy segment is largely driven by crack spreads (i.e., the price differential between refined products and crude oil inputs) and Western Canadian Select ("WCS") crude oil discounts (i.e., the price discount for WCS crude oil relative to West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil), which are driven by supply and demand of refined products. Supply and demand dynamics in the global and North American refined product markets resulted in increased crack spreads during both the three and nine months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The table below provides information about average market reference prices and differentials that impacted our Energy segment.

*Group 3 refers to the oil refining and distribution system serving Midwest markets from the Gulf Coast through the Plains states.
Grains
Our Grains segment is primarily composed of our global grain marketing, processing and retail grains activities for our feed grains, oilseeds, wheat, specialty grains and animal nutrition product lines. The Grains segment connects producers to domestic and global grain markets through a broad origination and distribution network and markets commodities such as wheat, corn, soybeans, oilseeds and specialty grains. We operate grain facilities and trading offices across five continents, serving processors, food manufacturers and renewable fuel producers. Profitability in our Grains segment is largely driven by throughput and production volumes, as well as commodity price spreads; however, revenues and cost of goods sold ("COGS") are largely affected by market-driven commodity prices and weather-related conditions outside our control.

Grains segment IBIT decreased $0.7 million, or 2.2%, during the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended May 31, 2025, primarily as a result of the following:
•Lower margins associated with wheat, feed grains and specialty products decreased IBIT.
•These impacts were mostly offset by strong oilseed crush margins driven by RVO-related processing demand, higher interest income and improved performance by our equity method investments.

Total Agronomy segment IBIT increased $27.6 million, or 11.2%, during the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended May 31, 2025, primarily due to the following:
•Continued strong performance from our investment in CF Nitrogen, driven by higher urea and UAN prices, and improved margins across crop nutrients and crop protection products increased IBIT.
•These benefits were partially offset by volume declines, due largely to higher product costs, which led to deferred demand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
In assessing our financial condition, we consider factors such as working capital, internal benchmarking related to our applicable covenants and other financial information. The following financial information is used when assessing our liquidity and capital resources to meet our capital allocation priorities, which include maintaining the safety and compliance of our operations, meeting debt maturity obligations, paying interest on debt and preferred stock dividends, returning cash to our member-owners in the form of cash patronage and equity redemptions and taking advantage of strategic opportunities that benefit our member-owners.

Summary of Our Major Sources of Cash and Cash Equivalents
We fund our current operations primarily through our cash flows from operations and with short-term borrowings through our committed and uncommitted revolving credit facilities, including our securitization facility with certain unaffiliated financial institutions and our repurchase facility. We fund certain of our long-term capital needs, primarily those related to acquisitions of property, plant and equipment, with cash flows from operations and by issuing long-term debt. See Note 6, Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt, of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our short-term borrowings and long-term debt. We will continue to consider opportunities to further diversify and enhance our sources and amounts of liquidity.
Summary of Our Major Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents
The following is a summary of our primary cash requirements for fiscal 2026:
•Capital expenditures. We expect total capital expenditures for fiscal 2026 to be approximately $494.5 million, compared to capital expenditures of $728.6 million in fiscal 2025, as we continue to invest in capital expenditures for projects to meet the evolving needs of our owners and customers and enhance value for the cooperative system during fiscal 2026. During the nine months ended May 31, 2026, we acquired $344.3 million of property, plant and equipment.
•Major maintenance. We expect total major maintenance for fiscal 2026 to be approximately $73.4 million, compared to major maintenance of $271.4 million in fiscal 2025. Decreased major maintenance for fiscal 2026 is due to significantly reduced turnaround activities at our refineries compared to the turnaround at our McPherson refinery during fiscal 2025. During the nine months ended May 31, 2026, we had $56.3 million in major maintenance largely due to the planned partial turnaround at our Laurel refinery.
•Debt and interest. We expect to repay approximately $91.8 million of long-term debt and finance lease obligations and incur interest payments related to long-term debt of approximately $102.5 million during fiscal 2026. During the nine months ended May 31, 2026, we repaid $9.3 million of scheduled long-term debt maturities and finance lease obligations.
•Preferred stock dividends. We had approximately $2.3 billion of preferred stock outstanding as of May 31, 2026. We expect to pay dividends on our preferred stock of approximately $168.7 million during fiscal 2026. Dividends paid on our preferred stock during the nine months ended May 31, 2026, were $126.5 million.
•Patronage. Our Board of Directors authorized approximately $30.0 million of our fiscal 2025 patronage-sourced earnings to be paid to our member-owners during fiscal 2026. During the nine months ended May 31, 2026, we distributed $30.0 million of cash patronage related to the year ended August 31, 2025.
•Equity redemptions. Our Board of Directors authorized approximately $90.0 million of equity redemptions to be distributed in fiscal 2026 in the form of redemptions of qualified and nonqualified equity owned by individual producer-members and association members. During the nine months ended May 31, 2026, we redeemed $80.6 million of member equity.

Table of Contents
We believe cash generated by operating and investing activities, along with available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to support our short-term (the next 12 months) and long-term (beyond 12 months) operations. Our notes payable and long-term debt are subject to various restrictive requirements for maintenance of minimum consolidated net worth and other financial ratios. We were in compliance with all debt covenants and restrictions as of May 31, 2026. Based on our current fiscal 2026 projections, we expect continued covenant compliance.
Working Capital
We measure working capital as current assets less current liabilities as each amount appears on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We believe this information is meaningful to investors as a measure of operational efficiency and short-term financial health. Working capital is not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies. Working capital as of May 31, 2026, and August 31, 2025, was as follows:

Working capital | $ | 3,171,972 |  |  | $ | 2,803,865 |  |  | $ | 368,107 |

As of May 31, 2026, working capital increased by $368.1 million compared to August 31, 2025. Changes in current asset balances increased working capital by $1.9 billion, primarily due to increases in receivables, other current assets and inventories, which were driven by seasonality in our business. Current liability balance changes decreased working capital by $1.5 billion, primarily due to increases in other current liabilities, notes payable and accounts payable, which were also driven by seasonality in our business.
We finance our working capital needs through committed and uncommitted lines of credit with domestic and international banks. We believe our current cash balances and available capacity on our committed and uncommitted lines of credit will provide adequate liquidity to meet our working capital needs.
Contractual Obligations
For information regarding our estimated contractual obligations, see the MD&A discussion included in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2025. No material changes occurred during the nine months ended May 31, 2026.
Cash Flows
The following table presents summarized cash flow data for the nine months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025:

| Nine Months Ended May 31, |  |
| 2026 |  | 2025 |  | Change
| (Dollars in thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | 201,214 |  |  | $ | (635,272) |  |  | $ | 836,486 |
Net cash used in investing activities | (503,649) |  |  | (552,160) |  |  | 48,511 |
Net cash provided by financing activities | 511,065 |  |  | 724,692 |  |  | (213,627) |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | 2,961 |  |  | (6,973) |  |  | 9,934 |
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 211,591 |  |  | $ | (469,713) |  |  | $ | 681,304 |

Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period as a result of various factors, including seasonality and timing differences associated with purchases, sales, taxes and other business decisions. The $836.5 million year-over-year increase in cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects increased accounts payable and accrued expenses, which was partially offset by changes in accounts receivable, during the first nine months of fiscal 2026 as compared to the same period during fiscal 2025.

Table of Contents
The $48.5 million decrease in cash used in investing activities primarily reflects decreased expenditures for major maintenance, business acquisitions and acquisitions of property, plant and equipment, mostly offset by decreased proceeds from the sale and maturity of short-term and other investments, increased purchases of short-term investments and increases in CHS Capital notes receivable during the first nine months of fiscal 2026 compared to the same period during fiscal 2025.
The $213.6 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities primarily reflects decreased net cash inflows associated with our notes payable and short-term funding needs for working capital, partially offset by decreased cash patronage dividends paid and redemptions of equities during the first nine months of fiscal 2026 compared to the same period during fiscal 2025.
