8. Share-Based Compensation
On May 12, 2015, the companys shareholders approved the 2015 Performance Option Plan under which the company may, after February 20, 2015 and before
January 1, 2016, grant options to acquire up to 3,500,000 common shares. Under the plan, the exercise price shall not be less than the quoted market closing price of the companys common shares on the last trading day immediately preceding
the date of the grant, and an options maximum term is 10 years. In general, options will vest, if at all, according to a schedule based on the three-year average excess of the companys consolidated cash flow return on investment over
weighted average cost of capital. As of June 30, 2015, options to purchase a total of 3,474,900 common shares had been granted under the plan. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $5.48 per share, estimated as of the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

9. Financial Instruments
Fair Value
Estimated fair values for financial instruments are designed to
approximate amounts at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current arms-length transaction between knowledgeable willing parties. The valuation policies and procedures for financial reporting purposes are determined by the
companys finance department.
Financial instruments included in the consolidated statements of financial position are measured either at fair value or amortized
cost. The tables below explain the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of each financial instrument and its associated level in the fair value hierarchy.
|
|
|
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value |
|
Fair Value Method |
Cash and cash equivalents |
|
Approximated carrying value. |
Investments in Israel Chemicals Ltd. (ICL) and Sinofert Holdings Limited (Sinofert) designated as available-for-sale |
|
Based on the closing bid price of the common shares (Level 1) as at the statements of financial position dates. |
Foreign currency derivatives not traded in an active market |
|
Determined using quoted forward exchange rates (Level 2) as at the statements of financial position dates. |
Natural gas swaps not traded in an active market |
|
Based on a discounted cash flow model. The inputs used in the model included contractual cash flows based on prices for natural gas futures contracts, fixed prices and
notional volumes specified by the swap contracts, the time value of money, liquidity risk, the companys own credit risk (related to instruments in a liability position) and counterparty credit risk (related to instruments in an asset
position). Certain of the futures contract prices used as inputs in the model were supported by prices quoted in an active market (Level 2) and others were not based on observable market data (Level 3). For valuations that included both observable
and unobservable data, if the unobservable input was determined to be significant to the overall inputs, the entire valuation was categorized in Level 3. |
Natural gas futures |
|
Based on closing prices provided by the exchange (NYMEX) (Level 1) as at the statements of financial position dates. |
For natural gas swaps, the primary input into the valuation model was natural gas futures prices, which were based on delivery at the
Henry Hub and were observable only for up to three years in the future. The unobservable futures price range as at June 30, 2015 was $3.34 to $4.08 per MMBtu (December 31, 2014 $3.82 to $4.74 per MMBtu). A 10 percent
increase in the unobservable natural gas futures prices that are not counterbalanced by offsetting derivative positions would result in an $8 (December 31, 2014 $3) decrease in the fair value of the liability. A 10 percent decrease in the
unobservable natural gas futures prices that are not counterbalanced by offsetting derivative positions would result in an $8 (December 31, 2014 $3) increase in the fair value of the liability. Interest rates used to discount estimated cash
flows as at June 30, 2015 were between 0.19 percent and 3.47 percent (December 31, 2014 between 0.17 percent and 3.48 percent) depending on the settlement date.

10. Seasonality
The companys sales of fertilizer can be seasonal. Fertilizers are sold primarily for spring and fall application in both Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Typically, fertilizer sales are highest in the second quarter of the year, due to the North American spring planting season. However, planting conditions and the timing of customer purchases will vary each year and fertilizer sales can be expected
to shift from one quarter to another. Feed and industrial sales are more evenly distributed throughout the year.
11. Contingencies and Other
Matters
Canpotex
PCS is a shareholder in Canpotex Limited
(Canpotex), a potash export, sales and marketing company owned in equal shares by the three potash producers in Saskatchewan, which markets Saskatchewan potash offshore. Should any operating losses or other liabilities be incurred by
Canpotex, the shareholders have contractually agreed to reimburse it for such losses or liabilities in proportion to each shareholders productive capacity. Through June 30, 2015, there were no such operating losses or other liabilities.
Mining Risk
The risk of underground water inflows, as with other
underground risks, is currently not insured.
Legal and Other Matters
The
company is engaged in ongoing site assessment and/or remediation activities at a number of facilities and sites, and anticipated costs associated with these matters are added to accrued environmental costs in the manner previously described in Note
22 to the companys 2014 annual consolidated financial statements. This includes matters related to investigation of potential brine migration at certain of the potash sites. The following environmental site assessment and/or remediation
matters have uncertainties that may not be fully reflected in the amounts accrued for those matters:
Nitrogen and phosphate
|
|
The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has identified PCS Nitrogen, Inc. (PCS Nitrogen) as a potentially responsible party at the Planters Property or Columbia Nitrogen site in
Charleston, South Carolina. PCS Nitrogen is subject to a final judgment by the US District Court for the District of South Carolina allocating 30 percent of the liability for response costs at the site to PCS Nitrogen, as well as a proportional
share of any costs that cannot be recovered from another responsible party. In December 2013, the USEPA issued an order to PCS Nitrogen and four other respondents requiring them jointly and severally to conduct certain cleanup work at the site and
reimburse the USEPAs costs for overseeing that work. PCS Nitrogen is currently performing the work required by the USEPA order. The USEPA also has requested reimbursement of $4 of previously incurred response costs. The ultimate amount of
liability for PCS Nitrogen depends upon the final outcome of litigation to impose liability on additional parties, the amount needed for remedial activities, the ability of other parties to pay and the availability of insurance. |
|
|
PCS Phosphate Company, Inc (PCS Phosphate) has agreed to participate, on a non-joint and several basis, with parties to an Administrative Settlement
Agreement with the USEPA (Settling Parties) in a removal action and the payment of certain other costs associated with PCB soil contamination at the Ward Transformer Superfund Site in Raleigh, North Carolina (Site), including
reimbursement of past USEPA costs. The removal activities commenced in August 2007 and are believed to be nearly complete. In September 2013, PCS Phosphate and other parties entered into an Administrative Order on Consent with the USEPA, pursuant to
which a supplemental remedial investigation and focused feasibility study will be performed on the portion of the Site that was subject to the removal action. The completed and anticipated work on the Site is estimated to cost a total of $80. PCS
Phosphate is a party to ongoing Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) contribution and cost recovery litigation for the recovery of costs of the removal activities. The USEPA
|
|
|
|
PotashCorp 2015 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q |
|
12 |
|
|
has also issued an order to a number of entities requiring remediation downstream of the area subject to the removal action (Operable Unit 1). PCS Phosphate did not receive this order. At this time, the company is unable
to evaluate the extent of any exposure that it may have for the matters addressed in the CERCLA litigation or for Operable Unit 1. |
|
|
In 1996, PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer, L.P. (PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer), then known as Arcadian Fertilizer, L.P., entered into a Consent Order (the Order) with the Georgia Environmental Protection
Division (GEPD) in conjunction with PCS Nitrogen Fertilizers acquisition of real property in Augusta, Georgia. Under the Order, PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer is required to perform certain activities to investigate and, if necessary,
implement corrective measures for substances in soil and groundwater. The investigation has proceeded and the results have been presented to GEPD. Two interim corrective measures for substances in groundwater have been proposed by PCS Nitrogen
Fertilizer and approved by GEPD. PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer is implementing the approved interim corrective measures, which may be modified by PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer from time to time, but it is unable to estimate with reasonable certainty the total
cost of its corrective action obligations under the Order at this time. |
Based on current information and except for the uncertainties described in the
preceding paragraphs, the company does not believe that its future obligations with respect to these facilities and sites are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Other legal matters with significant uncertainties include the following:
Nitrogen and phosphate
|
|
The USEPA has an ongoing initiative to evaluate implementation within the phosphate industry of a particular exemption for mineral processing wastes under the hazardous waste program. In connection with this
industry-wide initiative, the USEPA conducted inspections at numerous phosphate operations and notified the company of alleged violations of the US Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at its plants in Aurora, North Carolina;
Geismar, Louisiana; and White Springs, Florida; and one alleged Clean Air Act (CAA) violation at its Geismar, Louisiana plant. The company has entered into RCRA 3013 Administrative Orders on Consent and has performed certain site
assessment activities at all of these plants. At this time, the company does not know the scope of action, if any, that may be required. As to the alleged RCRA violations, the company continues to participate in settlement discussions with the USEPA
but is uncertain if any resolution will be possible without litigation, or, if litigation occurs, what the outcome would be. |
|
|
The USEPA has pursued an initiative to evaluate compliance with the CAA at sulfuric acid and nitric acid plants. In connection with this industry-wide initiative, the company, without admitting liability, reached a
global settlement with the USEPA in September 2014, which covers the sulfuric acid plants at the Aurora, North Carolina; Geismar, Louisiana; and White Springs, Florida facilities. The consent decree to implement the settlement became effective on
February 26, 2015. The total
|
|
|
estimated costs for complying with the consent decree are expected to be at least $51 over a compliance period that extends into 2020. |
General
|
|
The scope or timing of any final, effective requirements to control the companys greenhouse gas emissions in the US or Canada is uncertain. Canada has withdrawn from participation in the Kyoto Protocol, and the
Canadian government has announced its intention to coordinate greenhouse gas policies with the US. Although the US Congress has not passed any greenhouse gas emission control laws, the USEPA has adopted several rules to control such emissions using
authority under existing environmental laws. Some Canadian provinces and US states are considering the adoption of greenhouse gas emission control requirements. In Saskatchewan, provincial regulations pursuant to the Management and Reduction of
Greenhouse Gases Act, which impose a type of carbon tax to achieve a goal of a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, compared to 2006 levels, may become effective in 2015. None of these regulations has resulted in material
limitations on greenhouse gas emissions at the companys facilities. The company is monitoring these developments and their future effect on its operations cannot be determined with certainty at this time. |
In addition, various other claims and lawsuits are pending against the company in the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate
outcome of such actions at this time, and inherent uncertainties exist in predicting such outcomes, it is the companys belief that the ultimate resolution of such actions is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect on its consolidated financial statements.
The breadth of the companys operations and the global complexity of tax regulations require assessments of
uncertainties and judgments in estimating the taxes it will ultimately pay. The final taxes paid are dependent upon many factors, including negotiations with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, outcomes of tax litigation and resolution of
disputes arising from federal, provincial, state and local tax audits. The resolution of these uncertainties and the associated final taxes may result in adjustments to the companys tax assets and tax liabilities.
The company owns facilities that have been either permanently or indefinitely shut down. It expects to incur nominal annual expenditures for site security and other
maintenance costs at certain of these facilities. Should the facilities be dismantled, certain other shutdown-related costs may be incurred. Such costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the companys consolidated financial
position or results of operations and would be recognized and recorded in the period in which they are incurred.
12. Related Party
Transactions
The company sells potash from its Saskatchewan mines for use outside Canada and the US exclusively to Canpotex. Sales are at prevailing market
prices and are settled on normal trade terms. Sales to Canpotex for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $413 (2014 $342) and the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $768 (2014 $591). At June 30, 2015,
$170 (December 31, 2014 $216) was owing from Canpotex.

In our 2014 AIR, we provide an overview of our approach to risk (page 21), explain how we use a risk management ranking methodology to assess the key risks specific to our company (page 22) and describe each key
risk and our risk management approach (pages 23 to 25). Our business is subject to constant and significant change that can result in changes to our key risks.
No additional key risks were identified or removed during the second quarter and first half of 2015 compared to those outlined in our 2014 AIR. The following tables outline our risk ranking matrix and continuing
key risks as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015.

Darker sections of the triangle indicate the specific strategy (described in the triangle on page 14 of this 10-Q) impacted by the described risk in the
table above. Faded sections of the triangle mean the specific strategy is not significantly impacted by the described risk. |

While the relative residual ranking of this risk has not changed since December 31, 2014, consistent with the first quarter of 2015 we believe the risk
level is trending higher due to external factors affecting the business and operating environment in the foreign jurisdictions in which we have equity investments. This risk is further described on page 20 of our 2014 Form 10-K.

PotashCorp 2015 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q |
|
16 |
Earnings in the second quarter of 2015 were lower than the same period in 2014 as higher gross margins in potash and
phosphate were more than offset by lower gross margin in nitrogen. Earnings were negatively impacted further by increased provincial mining and other taxes.
Year over year earnings were lower than the same period in 2014. Higher potash and phosphate gross margins were more than offset by lower nitrogen gross margin, increased provincial mining and other taxes, and
lower dividend income from our investment in Israel Chemicals Ltd. (ICL) in 2015 (a special dividend was received in 2014).
Global potash shipments
remained strong during the second quarter of 2015, especially to China and India where higher contract volumes supported robust shipments for most producers. Demand in other offshore markets remained at historically high levels, although the impacts
of weaker crop economics, currency volatility and credit availability slowed purchases from 2014s record pace most notably in Brazil. In North America, a shortened planting season and greater availability of product from offshore
suppliers kept domestic producer sales below 2014s exceptionally strong comparative period.
In nitrogen, prices for most products declined from those realized in second-quarter 2014 as market fundamentals
weakened on increased global supply and record Chinese urea exports over the past 12 months. As the quarter progressed, urea prices found support on stronger demand in key import markets and slowing exports from China, while ammonia markets
stabilized due to supply constraints in major exporting regions.
In phosphate, solid phosphate fertilizer prices were generally consistent with those in
the second quarter of 2014 as improved Indian demand more than offset weakness in Latin America and record Chinese exports. Robust demand for other phosphate products most notably liquid fertilizers in India and North America supported
improved prices relative to 2014s second quarter.
Other comprehensive income for the second quarter and first half of 2015 mainly resulted from an
increase in the fair value of our investment in Sinofert Holdings Limited (Sinofert), partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of our investment in ICL. Other comprehensive loss for the second quarter of 2014 mainly resulted from a decrease
in the fair value of our investment in ICL. For the first half of 2014, other comprehensive income mainly resulted from an increase in the fair value of our investment in ICL.

PotashCorp 2015 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q |
Operating Segment Review
We report our results (including gross margin) in three business segments: potash, nitrogen and phosphate as described in Note 2 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q. Our reporting structure reflects
how we manage our business and how we classify our operations for planning and measuring performance. We include net sales in segment disclosures in the financial statements in this Form 10-Q pursuant to IFRS, which require segmentation based upon
our internal organization and reporting of revenue and profit measures. As a component of gross margin, net sales (and the related per-tonne amounts) are the primary revenue measures we use and review in making decisions about operating matters on a
business segment basis. These decisions include assessments about potash, nitrogen and phosphate performance and the resources to be allocated to these segments. We also use net sales (and the related per-tonne amounts) for business planning and
monthly forecasting. Net sales are calculated as sales revenues less freight, transportation and distribution expenses. Realized prices refer to net sales prices.
Our discussion of segment operating performance is set out below and includes nutrient product and/or market performance results, where applicable, to give further insight into these results.

PotashCorp 2015 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q |
The most significant contributors to the change in total gross margin were as follows (direction of arrows refers to
impact on gross margin):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quarter over Quarter |
|
Year over Year |
Net Sales Prices |
|
h
Our average realized price improvement in 2015 reflected higher prices in most markets compared to last years second quarter when realizations were still recovering from the lows
experienced in early 2014. |
|
h
Realized prices in 2015 benefitted from a recovery throughout 2014 driven by higher consumption.
|
Sales Volumes |
|
i
North American sales volumes declined from the exceptionally strong comparative period in 2014.
h
Offshore volumes increased as Canpotex shipments reached record levels in 2015 due to improved rail logistics and enhanced infrastructure and distribution capabilities. |
|
i
North American sales volumes declined due to lower fertilizer demand and higher offshore imports.
h
Shipments to offshore markets rose due to strong demand in 2015 and improved rail logistics and enhanced infrastructure and distribution capabilities. Further, rail constraints in 2014 did not recur in 2015.
|
Cost of Goods Sold |
|
i
More product from our higher-cost mines went to offshore customers resulting in a negative cost of goods sold variance.
h
The Canadian dollar weakened relative to the US dollar, reducing cost of goods sold.
|
|
h
The Canadian dollar weakened relative to the US dollar, reducing cost of goods sold.
|
Year over year the change in market mix produced a favorable variance of $42 million related to sales volumes and an unfavorable
variance of $42 million in sales prices due to more lower-priced standard product being sold to the offshore market and less higher-priced granular sales to North America in 2015.

margin, while the symbol signifies a neutral impact):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quarter over Quarter |
|
Year over Year |
Net Sales Prices |
|
i Increased supply in key producing regions pressured
benchmark prices and realizations for all our products. |
|
i Nitrogen
prices weakened during the first half of 2015 on reduced demand in key markets and increased supply, including record Chinese urea exports. This was partially offset by elevated North American ammonia prices due to supply challenges in key
exporting regions in the first quarter of 2015. |
Sales Volumes |
|
h There were no significant changes. |
|
i
Sales volumes in 2015 were affected by weaker fertilizer demand, issues related to product availability caused by mechanical challenges at our Lima facility and curtailments in
Trinidad related to natural gas supply. |
Cost of Goods Sold |
|
h
Average costs, including our hedge position, for natural gas used as feedstock in production decreased 21 percent. Costs for natural gas used as feedstock in Trinidad production fell
18 percent (contract price indexed, in part, to Tampa ammonia prices) while our US spot costs for natural gas decreased 41 percent. Including losses on our hedge position, US gas prices fell 23 percent.
i
Costs were impacted by higher losses on natural gas hedging derivatives included in cost of goods sold. |

i

h
Average costs, including our hedge position, for natural gas used as feedstock in production decreased 13 percent. Costs for natural gas used as feedstock in Trinidad production fell 5 percent
(contract price indexed, in part, to Tampa ammonia prices) while our US spot costs for natural gas decreased 40 percent. Including losses on our hedge position, US gas prices fell 22 percent.
Lower natural gas costs
in the US were offset by a rise in Trinidad natural gas costs in the first quarter of 2015. |

Safety |
|
The total site recordable injury rate decreased from 2014 due to more hours being worked in 2015 as the number
of recordable injuries was unchanged. |
|
There were three recordable injuries in 2015 compared to five in 2014. Combined with more hours worked in 2015, the total site recordable injury
rate declined. There were no lost-time injuries in 2015 compared to one in 2014. |
Employee |
|
There were no senior staff positions available to be filled in 2015. |
|
In 2015, the one available senior staff position was not filled internally while all three available senior staff positions were filled
internally in 2014. |

|
|

|
|
|
|
Quarter over Quarter |
|
Year over Year |
Net Sales Prices |
|
h Our average realized price was above the same periods in 2014 mainly as a result of improved market fundamentals, due to strong
demand and supply outages for certain key phosphate export regions. |
Sales Volumes |
|
i Absence of production from our Suwannee River chemical plant,
due to its closure in 2014, reduced tonnes available for sale in 2015. |
|
i Sales volumes were down due to a reduction in capacity caused
by a turnaround at our Aurora facility in the second quarter of 2015 and the closure of Suwannee River in 2014. In addition a greater proportion of our phosphoric acid was directed to products with higher phosphate content. |
Cost of Goods Sold |
|
h Depreciation was lower due to accelerated depreciation in the
second quarter of 2014 related to fertilizer resulting from operations changes announced in late 2013.
h
Favorable adjustments to our asset retirement obligations occurred in 2015 while unfavorable adjustments occurred in 2014 as a result of changes in the relevant discount
rates. i Costs rose due to increased reliability maintenance costs at
Aurora and costs associated with our cooling ponds. i Sulfur costs were up 12 percent quarter over quarter and 17 percent year over year, increasing our cost of goods
sold. |

Safety |
|
There were five recordable injuries in 2015 compared to nine in 2014. Combined with more hours worked in 2015,
the total site recordable injury rate declined. There were no lost-time injuries in 2015 compared to one in 2014. |
|
Sadly, a workplace accident resulted in the loss of an employee at our White Springs phosphate operation during the first quarter of 2015. There
were 13 recordable injuries and one lost-time injury in 2015 compared to 17 recordable injuries and two lost-time injuries in 2014. Combined with more hours worked in 2015, the total site recordable injury rate declined. |
Employee |
|
In 2015, the one available senior staff position was filled internally while four of five senior staff positions
were filled internally in 2014. |
|
In 2015, one of two senior staff positions were filled internally while 10 of 11 senior staff positions were filled internally in
2014. |
Environmental |
|
Environmental incidents in the second quarter and first half of 2015 were related to releases of solids and phosphorus in waste
water and a phosphoric acid release. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quarter over Quarter |
|
Year over Year |
Provincial Mining and Other Taxes |
|
Provincial mining and other taxes increased quarter over quarter due to higher potash production
tax in 2015 resulting from a weaker Canadian dollar and stronger potash prices. In addition, deductible costs decreased due to the first-quarter 2015 changes to potash taxation in the Province of Saskatchewan which deferred the timing of the annual
allowable deduction for capital expenditures. This was partially offset by a lower proportion of forecasted annual gross margin earned in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. |

Dividend Income |
|
Dividend income from ICL increased slightly. |
|
Dividend income was down due to the company receiving a special dividend of $69 million from ICL in the first quarter of 2014. No
special dividends were received in 2015. |
Impairment of Available-for-Sale Investment |
|
No impairment losses were recognized in the second quarter of 2015 or 2014. |
|
A non-tax deductible impairment loss of $38 million was recorded in net income on our investment in Sinofert during the first
quarter of 2014. No such losses were recognized in 2015. |
Finance Costs |
|
|
Income Taxes |
|
For the second quarter and first six months of 2015, income taxes decreased due to lower ordinary earnings before taxes. For the first six months of 2015,
67 percent of the effective tax rate on the current years ordinary earnings pertained to current income taxes (2014 64 percent) and 33 percent related to deferred income taxes (2014 36 percent). |

Financial Condition Review
Statement of Financial Position Analysis
The most significant contributors to the changes in our statements of financial position were as follows (direction of arrows
refers to increase or decrease):
|
|
|
Assets |
|
Liabilities |
h
Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow in this Form 10-Q for details on the increase in cash and cash
equivalents. i Receivables decreased mainly due to lower trade accounts
receivable and lower income taxes receivable. Income taxes receivable decreased due to income taxes accrued during the first half of 2015 being applied against the income tax receivable at December 31, 2014. In addition, income tax refunds accrued
at December 31, 2014 were received in second-quarter 2015. h Property, plant and equipment increased largely as a result of our previously announced potash and nitrogen capacity
expansions. |
|
i Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt
declined due to a decrease in our outstanding commercial paper. h Long-term debt was higher as a result of the issuance of $500 million in senior notes in the first quarter of
2015. |
|
Equity |
h Equity
was mainly impacted by net income (discussed in more detail in the overview of actual results above) and dividends declared. |
As at June 30, 2015, $160 million (December 31, 2014 $127 million) of our cash and cash equivalents was held in certain
foreign subsidiaries. In July 2015, $118 million of those funds was repatriated with no tax consequences. There are no current plans to repatriate the remaining funds in a manner that results in tax consequences.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Requirements
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
Our contractual obligations and other commitments detailed on page 76 of our 2014 AIR summarize certain of our liquidity and capital resource requirements,
excluding obligations that have original maturities of less than one year, planned (but not legally committed) capital expenditures or potential share repurchases. The issuance of $500 million of 3.00 percent senior notes due April 1, 2025
during the first quarter of 2015 increased our long-term debt obligations ($500 million) and total estimated interest payments on long-term debt obligations ($150 million) in the contractual obligations and other commitments table referenced above.
Capital Expenditures
Page 51 of our 2014 AIR outlines key potash construction projects and their expected total cost, as
well as the impact of these projects on capacity expansion/debottlenecking and any expected remaining spending on each project still in progress. The most significant of these potash projects(1) on which funds are expected to be spent in 2015, excluding capitalized interest, are outlined in the table below:

In 2013, we began a brownfield expansion at our Lima facility that is expected to add approximately 100,000 tonnes of ammonia capacity and approximately 73,000
tonnes of urea capacity by the fourth quarter of 2015 at an estimated cost of approximately $230 million. We expect to spend approximately $80 million in 2015 related to this expansion.
We anticipate that all capital spending will be financed by internally generated cash flows supplemented, if and as necessary, by borrowing from existing financing sources.

|
Cash provided by operating activities was impacted by:

Cash Used in Investing Activities |
|
Cash used in investing activities was primarily for additions to property, plant and equipment. |
Cash Used in Financing Activities |
|
Cash used in financing activities decreased due to share repurchases and repayment of senior notes in the second
quarter of 2014 not recurring in 2015, partially offset by commercial paper issuances in the second quarter of 2014 not recurring in 2015. |

We believe that internally generated cash flow, supplemented if necessary by available borrowings under our existing
financing sources, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital expenditures and other cash requirements for at least the next 12 months, exclusive of any possible acquisitions. At this time, we do not reasonably expect any presently
known trend or uncertainty to affect our ability to access our historical sources of liquidity.

Capital Structure and Management
Principal Debt Instruments
(1) |
The authorized aggregate amount under the companys commercial paper programs in Canada and the US is $2,500 million. The amounts available under the
commercial paper programs are limited to the availability of backup funds under the credit facility. Included in the amount outstanding and committed is $NIL of commercial paper. |
We use a combination of cash generated from operations and short-term and long-term debt to finance our operations. We typically pay floating rates of interest on
our short-term debt and credit facility borrowings, and fixed rates on our senior notes.
During the second quarter of 2015, there were no significant
changes to the nature of our outstanding commercial paper, including interest rates, syndicated credit facility, short-term line of
credit and uncommitted letter of credit facility described on Page 79 in our 2014 AIR.
The
line of credit and credit facility have financial tests and covenants, including consequences of non-compliance, referenced on page 79 of our 2014 AIR, with which we must comply at each quarter-end. We were in compliance with all covenants as at
June 30, 2015 and at this time anticipate being in compliance with such covenants through 2015.
The accompanying table summarizes the limits and
results of certain covenants:

The following non-IFRS financial measures are requirements of our debt covenants and should not be considered as substitutes for,
nor superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS:
(1) |
Debt-to-capital ratio = debt (short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt + long-term debt) / (debt + shareholders equity).
|
(2) |
Long-term debt-to-EBITDA ratio = long-term debt / EBITDA. EBITDA is calculated according to the definition in Note 17 to the 2014 audited annual
consolidated financial statements for the trailing 12 months. As compared to net income according to IFRS, EBITDA is limited in that periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues are excluded.
Long-term debt to net income for the trailing 12 months was 2.5. |
Our ability to access reasonably priced debt in the capital markets
is dependent, in part, on the quality of our credit ratings. We currently maintain investment-grade credit ratings for our long-term debt. A downgrade of the credit rating of our long-term debt would increase the interest rates applicable to
borrowings under our credit facility and our line of credit.

Commercial paper markets are normally a source of same-day cash for the company. Our access to the Canadian and US
commercial paper markets primarily depends on maintaining our current short-term credit ratings as well as general conditions in the money markets.

Net income per share for each quarter has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the respective
quarter, including the dilutive number of shares assumed for the diluted earnings per share computation; therefore, as the number of shares varies each period, quarterly amounts may not add to the annual total. |

PotashCorp 2015 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q |
Outlook
Potash Market Outlook
Our expectations of global potash demand remain unchanged as we anticipate 2015
shipments of approximately 60 million tonnes.
In North America, demand for our summer-fill program has been strong. We expect shipments in this market
to accelerate through the remainder of the year, although competitive pressures have resulted in lower prices than recognized during the first six months. We now expect total 2015 shipments of 9.0-9.5 million tonnes.
In Latin America, we anticipate strong third-quarter demand ahead of its key planting season. However, reduced credit availability and currency weakness in Brazil
could slow purchases compared to the record pace in 2014. For the full year, we now forecast shipments of 10.6-11.1 million tonnes for this region.
In
China, strong shipments are expected through the second half as suppliers deliver against significant annual contracted volumes. Rising demand in China for compound fertilizers and bulk blends with higher potassium content is expected to require
optional tonnage deliveries and push Canpotex sales volumes above its 1.8 million tonne minimum. Based on this strength and increased domestic production we now expect total shipments to reach 14.2-14.7 million tonnes.
In India, potash demand continues to improve without meaningful subsidy change. Robust demand for direct application and compound fertilizers as well as a
later first-half contract settlement is expected to result in significant Canpotex shipments through the rest of 2015. We maintain our full-year shipment estimate of 4.5-5.0 million tonnes and believe total deliveries could reach the upper
end of our range.
In Other Asian countries (outside of China and India), we maintain our estimate for shipments of 8.4-8.8 million
tonnes. Significant competitive pressures and currency volatility could weigh on prices in these markets through the balance of the year.
Financial
Outlook
With the first half behind us, we have revised our full-year expectations for our potash business. Our full-year sales volumes estimate has
been narrowed to 9.3-9.6 million tonnes and due to a decline in certain spot market prices through the second quarter we have lowered the upper end of our previous potash gross margin range, now forecast at $1.5-$1.7 billion.
We maintain our combined nitrogen and phosphate gross margin estimate of $1.0-$1.2 billion in 2015. In nitrogen, we expect greater supply will lead to a
more subdued market and weaker prices relative to 2014, although lower natural gas prices are expected to keep cost of goods sold below last years level. In phosphate, a shift to a more profitable product mix and supportive market fundamentals
are expected to keep realizations above those of 2014. Additionally, we expect to benefit from per-tonne costs trending lower through the balance of the year on improved mining conditions at Aurora.
We have increased our estimate of income from offshore equity investments to a range of $190-$210 million due to increased dividend income from ICL in the first
half of the year. Selling and administrative expenses are now forecast in the range of $235-$245 million and finance costs are now expected to be in the range of $190-$200 million.
As a result of the noted changes, we have revised our full-year 2015 earnings guidance to $1.75-$1.95 per share. For the third quarter, we forecast a range of
$0.35-$0.45 per share.

for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 under the captions Forward-Looking Statements and Item 1A Risk Factors and in our filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian provincial
securities commissions. Forward-looking statements are given only as at the date of this report and the company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the potential for loss from adverse changes in the market value of financial instruments. The level of market risk to which we are exposed varies
depending on the composition of our derivative instrument portfolio, as well as current and expected market conditions. A discussion of enterprise-wide risk management can be found in our 2014 AIR, pages 21 to 25.
Price, foreign exchange and interest rate risks faced by the company and how we manage those risks are outlined in Notes 19 and 25 to the 2014 audited annual
consolidated financial statements and there were no significant changes as at June 30, 2015.
Price Risk
There were no substantial changes to the price sensitivities related to our available-for-sale
investments and natural gas derivatives reported in Note 25 to the 2014 audited annual consolidated financial statements. As at June 30, 2015, the companys net exposure to natural gas derivatives in the form of swaps was a notional
amount of 96 million MMBtu (December 31, 2014 swaps and futures a notional amount of 101 million MMBtu) with maturities in 2015 through 2022.
Foreign Exchange Risk
There were no substantial changes to
the foreign exchange sensitivities reported in Note 25 to the 2014 audited annual consolidated financial statements. As at June 30, 2015, the company had entered into foreign currency forward contracts to sell US dollars and receive Canadian
dollars in the notional amount of $114 million (December 31, 2014 $140 million) at an average exchange rate of 1.2381 (December 31, 2014 1.1403) per US dollar with maturities in 2015.
Interest Rate Risk
As at June 30, 2015, the company had no significant exposure to interest rate risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2015, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding
of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon that evaluation and as of June 30, 2015, the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the company files and submits under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter
ended June 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
