  • 4) Energy cost variance calculated by multiplying gas price differential with last year's gas consumption.
  • 5) Excluding currency translation effects and special items.
  • 6) Other mainly related to positive impact from divestment last year, costs related to scrapping of project cost, lower income from EAI and lower interest income.

ROIC improvement driven by supportive market conditions, cost reductions and asset efficiency

Improving Return On Invested Capital (ROIC1 ) since launch of cost reduction program

Yara is committed to deliver 10% ROIC through the cycle

  • ROIC recovery through 2025 driven by strong traction on improvement initiatives and improved fertilizer prices
  • Quarterly ROIC of 12.6%, above 10% target
  • L12M results were impacted by special items, mainly related to restructuring provisions and a Dutch pension loss. Excluding this, ROIC would have been 10.3%3
  • Cost and capex reductions translates to a 2%-point4 increase in L12M ROIC compared to 2Q 24
  • Increased capacity utilization, portfolio optimization and resource efficiency supporting underlying ROIC improvement going forward

1) For definition and reconciliation see APM section in the 3Q report, pages 22-29.

2) 4Q 2024 drop mainly driven by 99 MUSD settlement loss for the Dutch pension fund before tax.

4) ROIC ex. cost and capex reductions of 6% estimated based on 211 MUSD higher cost and 200 MUSD higher invested capital.

Strong commercial performance driving continued high nitrate and NPK prices

Crop nutrition deliveries in line with last year

External deliveries 3Q 2024 vs 3Q 2025 (kt) 3Q24 3Q25

Comments

  • Increased NPK deliveries in Brazil
  • European volumes up driven by higher urea, following limited prebuying last year
  • Africa & Asia lower deliveries mostly driven by lower nitrate sales across African countries, and lower NPK sales in China
  • Industrial deliveries impacted by portfolio optimization

Improvement program continues ahead of plan

  • Workforce reduced with >1,650 FTEs
  • Targeting 180 MUSD cost reduction since 2Q24
  • Internal streamlining of organizational set-up to enable sharper focus on production and commercial performance
  • Continued strict resource discipline and evaluation of further cost optimization opportunities

  • Strict capital discipline continues
  • 700-850 MUSD annual maintenance capex in real terms to sustain current asset portfolio
  • 2026 maintenance level reflects major maintenance in large plants
  • Growth capex restricted to double-digit profitability projects with high strategic fit

Net debt remains stable as strong cash earnings are offset by seasonal operating capital build

Net interest-bearing debt: 3Q development (MUSD)

1) Operating income plus depreciation and amortization, write downs, minus tax paid, net gain/(loss) on disposals, net interest expense, and bank charges 2) Other mainly related to leasing and currency effect

Strong nitrogen fundamentals

Short term sentiment impacted by Indian demand and Chinese exports

  • Indian supply still lagging year-over-year
  • Significant Chinese volumes to be exported by the start of 4Q – majority already absorbed by the market
  • Chinese export restrictions expected to return as China approaches main application season

Urea prices remain above historical averages despite weaker farmer affordability

Urea price3 development USD/mt

Wheat price3 development USD/mt

  • Urea market remain demand driven
  • Soft crop prices driven by expectations of record-high production this year

Carbon tax on urea imports to the EU from 2026

Europe is a net import market of Nitrogen1 • Around 45% of current EU nitrogen mn t, 2024 EU-27 imports EU-27 exports N P2O2 K2O N P2O2 K2O 5,1 1,0 1,4 2,3 0,5 0,8

  • consumption imported, predominantly as urea
  • Carbon content in urea is inherent urea imports will carry a CBAM cost also in the longterm

CBAM likely to introduce a further spread in European vs global prices 2025 2034 • Impact on nitrogen will depend on carbon intensity of the source, ETS prices and defined benchmark thresholds • Other import costs, incl duties, and other supply/demand factors will apply Global nitrogen prices Full CBAM cost

European nitrogan prices

Yara is well prepared for a carbon priced Europe

EU ETS exposure CBAM

  • CCS Sluiskil: Project will reduce up to 800kt CO2e from mid-2026, reducing the carbon footprint of its finished fertilizers.
  • Quota bank: N₂O abatement investments at nitric acid plants have built allowances worth ~\$0,5B (at current ETS prices), equal to 4-5 years of emission cost
  • Nitrate decarbonization: Yara's European portfolio focused on nitrates which can be upgraded from low-carbon ammonia (sourced or produced)

  • Opportunities to get mechanisms in place to reduce exposure to CBAM on exports out of the EU , e.g for raw materials and intermediate goods imported and processed into finished fertilizers. This could apply to Yara's fertilizer exports outside the EU which are largely covered by imports of ammonia from outside EU.

  • CBAM implementation in Norway planned from January 2027, one year later than the EU (~0.5 million tons of ammonia imports)

Yara's competitive edge – high flexibility and import capacity

  • Yara has a global and flexible system and will optimize both ammonia sourcing and product allocation to reduce carbon costs
  • Yara's European nitrogen production generally operates with a lower carbon footprint than global averages driven by energy efficiency projects and historic investments in N2O abatement
  • High flexibility and Europe's most competitive asset infrastructure for import of low-carbon ammonia, irrespective of source

Global scale in ammonia underpins Yara's flexibility and value creation potential

Yara is the only player able to off-take ammonia at scale

  • Yara's gross ammonia consumption for nitrates in Europe around 3 million tons
  • Current import rate of 50% likely to increase
  • World's largest and scalable ammonia system

Nitrate and NPK assets in Europe flexible on ammonia source1

  • ETS and CBAM likely to lift urea prices in Europe
  • Low-carbon ammonia enable increased margins on nitrate and NPK

Equity investment in US ammonia can create significant shareholder value

  • Focusing on favorable ammonia production fundamentals in addition to 45Q and ETS/CBAM
  • Planned FID in 1H2026

Double digit returns remain a requirement for a potential FID – Yara targets equity participation that would uphold shareholder distributions3 through an investment period

1) Scenario assumptions: average historical nitrate premium above historical urea price, carbon cost of 100 USD/t CO2 (approx. 1 mt CO2 per mt urea), cost of ammonia from US based on 4 USD/MMBtu * 35 + 50 USD/t other cash cost, 140 in 45Q tax credits plus 50 USD/mt NH3 freight to Europe. Urea CIF Germany based on FOB Egypt + USD 50 in freight. Nitrate premium based on historical values from market publications.

2) 2034 cash cost, assuming full impact of CO2 cost in Europe

3) Subject to Yara's capital allocation policy with the overall objective to maintain BBB/Baa2 credit rating with a targeted mid- to long-term net debt/EBITDA of 1.5-2.0, FFO/net debt at 0.4-0.5 and net debt/equity ratio below 0.60

Improvement program continues – focused on increased returns

Tightening nitrogen supply CO2 -tax yields European margin opportunities Premium growth Valueaccretive ammonia growth Portfolio optimization Reduce cost and capex Market conditions Continued strong progress on cost reductions, ahead of target Increasing capital productivity with record-high production volumes Execution focus on projects in process Yara continues to explore the most value-accretive options to capitalize on lowcarbon ammonia growth Continued strong premium deliveries and premium generation Optimization of product allocation Strong nitrogen fundamentals Focus on core operations and high-return assets Strict capital discipline Reduce energy cost Increase scale and efficiency Logistic synergies Asset portfolio review Divestment of non-core assets Products to highest paying markets Premiums for lower carbon content Resource efficiency Margin expansion
