1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
With its subsidiaries, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PCS) together known as
PotashCorp or the company except to the extent the context otherwise requires forms an integrated fertilizer and related industrial and feed products company. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements are based on International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS), and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34,

year.

Available-for-sale Investments
The company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence of impairment. A
significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost would be evidence that the asset is impaired. If objective evidence of impairment exists, the impaired amount (i.e., the unrealized loss) is recognized in net
income; any subsequent reversals would be recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) and would not flow back into net income. Any subsequent decline in fair value below the carrying amount at the impairment date would represent a
further impairment to be recognized in net income.
At June 30, 2016, the company assessed whether there was objective evidence that its investment in
Israel Chemicals Ltd. (ICL) was impaired. The fair value of the investment, recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, was $678 compared to the cost of $704. Factors considered in assessing impairment
included the length of time and extent to which fair value had been below cost, and current financial and market conditions specific to ICL. The company concluded that objective evidence of impairment did not exist as at June 30, 2016 and, as a
result, the unrealized holding loss of $26 was included in accumulated OCI. Impairment will be assessed again in future reporting periods if the fair value is below cost. The fair value was determined through the market value of ICL shares on the
Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
During 2012, the company concluded its investment in Sinofert Holdings Limited (Sinofert) was impaired due to the
significance by which fair value was below cost. During 2014, the company concluded its investment in Sinofert was further impaired due to the fair value declining below the carrying amount of $238 at the previous impairment date. As a result,
impairment losses of $341 and $38 were recognized in net income during 2012 and 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2016, the company concluded its investment in Sinofert was further impaired due to the fair value declining below the carrying amount of
$200 at the previous impairment date. As a result, an impairment loss of $10 was recognized in net income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The fair value was determined through the market value of Sinofert shares on the Hong Kong
Stock Exchange.
Changes in fair value, and related accounting, for the companys investment in Sinofert since December 31, 2014 were as follows:

Significant items to note include the following:
|
|
The actual effective tax rate on ordinary earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased compared to the same periods last year due to
significantly lower earnings in higher tax jurisdictions. |
|
|
In second-quarter 2016, a $10 discrete non-tax deductible impairment of the companys available-for-sale investment in Sinofert was recorded. This increased
the actual effective tax rate including discrete items for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 by one percentage point. |

8. Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits
A remeasurement of the defined benefit plan assets and liabilities was performed at June 30,
2016. Due to a change in the discount rate and actual return on plan assets, the companys defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit obligations increased by $184, plan assets increased by $21 and deferred income taxes decreased
by $60. As a result, the company recorded net actuarial losses on defined benefit plan obligations of $103 in OCI, which was recognized immediately in retained earnings at June 30, 2016.
The net impact on assets and liabilities within the condensed consolidated statements of financial position at June 30, 2016 was as follows:

Stock Options
Under
the LTIP, stock options generally vest and become exercisable on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to continuous employment or retirement, and have a maximum term of 10 years. The weighted average fair value of stock options granted
was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Performance Share Units
Currently, PSUs granted under the LTIP are comprised of three tranches, with each tranche vesting based on the achievement of performance metrics over separate
performance periods ranging from one to three years, and will be settled in shares for grantees who are subject to the companys share ownership guidelines and in cash for all other grantees. PSUs will vest based on performance metrics
comprising the relative ranking of the companys total shareholder return compared with a specified peer group and the companys cash flow return on investment compared with its weighted average cost of capital. Compensation cost is
measured based on the grant date fair value of the units, adjusted for the companys best estimate of the outcome of non-market vesting conditions at the end of each period, for share-settled PSUs, and on
period-end fair value of the awards for cash-settled PSUs. The company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the outcome of relative total shareholder return.
11. Financial Instruments
Fair Value
Estimated fair values for financial instruments are designed to approximate amounts for 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.

PotashCorp 2016 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q |
Financial instruments included in the unaudited interim condensed 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 |
|
|
|
Assumed to approximate carrying value due to their short-term nature. |
Available-for-sale investments |
|
|
|
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). Futures contract prices used as inputs in the model were supported by prices quoted in an active market and therefore categorized in Level 2. Prior to December 31, 2015, certain contract prices used as inputs in
the model were not based on observable market data and therefore 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. |

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, there
were no transfers into Level 3 and $120 of losses was transferred out of Level 3 into Level 2 as the companys valuation technique used a significant portion of observable inputs. The companys policy is to recognize transfers at
the end of the reporting period. |
(3) |
Available-for-sale investments are comprised of shares in ICL, Sinofert and other. |
12. Seasonality
The companys sales of fertilizer can be seasonal. Typically, fertilizer sales are highest in the second quarter of the year, due to the Northern Hemispheres 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.
13. Contingencies and Other Matters
Canpotex
PCS is a shareholder in Canpotex, a potash
export, sales and marketing company owned in equal shares by PCS and two other Canadian potash producers, which markets Canadian 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, 2016, there were no such operating losses or other liabilities.
Mining Risk
The risk of underground water inflows, as
with most 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 2015 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
|
|
|
|
15 |
|
PotashCorp 2016 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q |
|
|
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, among other factors, 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. 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 response actions are nearly complete. The completed and anticipated remaining 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
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 correction 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 position or results of operations.
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. 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 company routinely monitors public information about the impacts of the initiative on other industry members, and it regularly considers this information in
establishing the appropriate asset retirement obligations and accruals. |
|
|
In August 2015, the USEPA finalized hazardous air pollutant emission standards for phosphoric acid manufacturing and phosphate fertilizer production (Final
Rule). The Final Rule includes certain new requirements for monitoring and emissions that are infeasible for the company to satisfy in a timely manner. As a result, in October 2015, the company filed a petition for reconsideration of certain
aspects of the Final Rule with the USEPA and a petition for review of the Final Rule with the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The USEPA granted the petition for reconsideration and the petition for review is being held in
abeyance pending the outcome of the USEPA proceeding, for which there is not a definite time frame for resolution. The company is participating in discussions with the USEPA to resolve the petition but whether future revisions to the Final Rule will
be made is uncertain. Required emissions testing at our Aurora facility in 2016 indicated some alleged exceedances of the mercury emission limits that were established by the Final Rule. The facility has communicated with the relevant agencies about
this issue and is in the process of developing a compliance strategy, the costs of which cannot be estimated with any certainty at this time. The company has requested that USEPA revise the emission limit or make rule changes to provide for
flexibility for representative operating scenarios for the facility. However, whether those changes will be made is uncertain. In the interim, the North Carolina
|
|
|
|
PotashCorp 2016 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q |
|

|
|
Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) has issued a Notice of Violation associated with the facilitys alleged exceedances of the new mercury limits, and the company is
working with the NCDEQ to address these alleged violations via a negotiated settlement. |
General
|
|
The countries where we operate are parties to the Paris Agreement adopted in December 2015 pursuant to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Each country that is a party to the Paris Agreement submitted an Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) toward the control of greenhouse gas emissions. The impacts of these INDCs on the companys operations cannot be
determined with any certainty at this time. Prior to the adoption of the Paris Agreement, the USEPA adopted several rules to control such emissions using authority under existing environmental laws. 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 2016. 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
statements and would be recognized and recorded in the period in which they are incurred.
14. 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, 2016 were $159 (2015 $413) and the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $338 (2015 $768). At June 30, 2016, $123
(December 31, 2015 $148) was owing from Canpotex.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (in US dollars)
The following discussion and analysis is the responsibility of management and is as at August 3, 2016. The Board
of Directors (Board) carries out its responsibility for review of this disclosure principally through its audit committee, comprised exclusively of independent directors. The audit committee reviews and, prior to its publication, approves this
disclosure, pursuant to the authority delegated to it by the Board. The term PCS refers to Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. and the terms we, us, our, PotashCorp and the
company refer to PCS and, as applicable, PCS and its direct and indirect subsidiaries as a group. Additional information relating to PotashCorp (which, except as otherwise noted, is not incorporated by reference herein), including our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (2015 Form 10-K), can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. The company is a foreign private issuer under the rules and regulations of the US
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC); however, it currently files voluntarily on the SECs domestic forms.
PotashCorp and Our Business Environment
PotashCorp is an integrated producer of fertilizer, industrial and animal feed products. We are the worlds largest fertilizer company by capacity, producing
the three primary crop nutrients: potash (K), nitrogen (N) and phosphate (P). Our Canadian potash operations the primary focus and namesake of our company represent one-fifth of global capacity. To enhance our global
footprint, we also have investments in four potash-related businesses in South America, the Middle East and Asia. We complement our potash assets with focused positions in nitrogen and phosphate.
A detailed description of our markets and customers can be found on pages 51 and 52 (potash), 61 and 62 (nitrogen) and 69 and 70 (phosphate) in our 2015 Annual
Integrated Report (2015 AIR).
How We Approach Governance
We believe strong governance creates the environment for a successful company, and effective governance begins at the top. Our Board provides guidance and oversight, while management defines and executes strategy
and simultaneously manages risk.
Success at the Board and management level at PotashCorp involves setting the right program priorities, having the appropriate team members in place, evaluating ourselves, continuing our education
and communicating with our stakeholders. Grounded by our objective of creating superior shareholder value, our Board and management team consider the interdependence between strategy and risk to inform how to best position the company to achieve
sustainable growth.
There have been no significant changes to how we approach governance from that described in our 2015 AIR (see pages 14 to 19 in
our 2015 AIR).
How We Approach Strategy
Our Value Model, outlined on page 9 in our 2015 AIR, informs the strategies we put in place to affect value creation over time.
We believe strong financial health and performance are the cornerstones of PotashCorp. They reward our shareholders while allowing us to fulfill our broader social and environmental responsibilities. Our long-term
objective is to create superior shareholder value by: growing earnings and cash flow while minimizing volatility; protecting and enhancing a premium valuation multiple; and maintaining the trust and support of our stakeholders.
Our strategy is to prioritize earnings growth and investment opportunities in potash, while complementing our business with other best-in-class assets. Our
strategic priorities, depicted below and described in further detail, along with key target metrics, on pages 23 to 25 in our 2015 AIR did not change during the second quarter of 2016.

How We Approach Risk
In our 2015 AIR, we provide an overview of our approach to risk (page 27), explain how we use a risk management-ranking methodology to assess the key risks specific to our company (page 28) and provide a
description of, management approach to and any significant developments for each key risk (pages 29 to 33).
Our risk-ranking matrix, in terms of
residual severity of consequence and likelihood, is displayed below.
Key risks with rankings unchanged from our 2015 AIR were as follows:

Earnings in the second quarter and first half of 2016 were lower than the same periods of 2015 due to lower gross
margins in potash, nitrogen and phosphate more than offsetting decreased income taxes and provincial mining and other taxes.
Global potash markets were
subdued in the second quarter. Despite healthy demand in North America and Latin America, delayed contracts in China and India, combined with cautious buying patterns in Other Asian markets, weighed on shipments. Spot prices declined from those in
the first quarter, though they began to show signs of firming as market fundamentals improved at the end of the quarter.
Nitrogen and phosphate markets
also experienced near-term headwinds. In nitrogen, lower energy costs and additional capacity pushed benchmark prices for most products to multi-year lows, despite reduced Chinese urea exports and relatively strong global
demand. In the US market, strong offshore imports and increased domestic supply put additional pressure on prices following the spring application season, especially for urea and UAN. Global
phosphate prices also trended lower during the second quarter due to declining input costs, increased competitive supply and weaker Indian demand.
Other
comprehensive loss for the second quarter and first half of 2016 was primarily impacted by decreases in the fair value of our investments in Israel Chemicals Ltd. (ICL) and Sinofert Holdings Limited (Sinofert), and a net actuarial loss resulting
from a remeasurement of our defined benefit plans. 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, partially offset by a decrease in the fair
value of our investment in ICL.

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 2016 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 |
|
|
|
i
Our average realized potash price was down, driven by a weaker pricing environment.
i Our
average offshore realized price was also impacted by our share of Canpotexs project exit costs following its decision not to proceed with development of an export terminal in Prince Rupert, British Columbia. |
|
|
|
i Spot
prices continued to move lower due to weak offshore demand and increased competitive pressures. |
Sales Volumes |
|
|
|
h
North American volumes were up due to healthy demand. |
|
|
|
i Offshore
volumes were down largely due to the absence of contracts in China and India. |
|
|
|
|
i A
lack of engagement in key contract markets kept offshore volumes well below 2015 levels. |
|
|
|
h Stronger
North America demand in the second quarter of 2016 was driven by increased planted acreage and strong potash affordability. This was partly offset by weaker buyer engagement in the first quarter of 2016. |
Cost of Goods Sold |
|
|
|
h
The Canadian dollar weakened relative to the US dollar.
h Royalty
costs declined due to lower average North America listed sales prices per tonne. |
|
|
|
i
North America cost of goods sold variance was negative due to the indefinite suspension of potash operations at Picadilly in the first quarter of 2016.
h
The Canadian dollar weakened relative to the US dollar.
i Shutdown
weeks were higher in 2016 (13 weeks) compared to 2015 (five weeks), largely as a result of our strategy to match production to market demand.
h Royalty
costs declined due to lower average North America listed sales prices per tonne. |

injuries. The decrease in injury rates between years was partially offset by fewer hours worked in 2016 compared to 2015. |
Environmental |
|
|
|
Although environmental incidents were flat quarter over quarter, there was a higher
number of them in the first half of 2016 as compared to the first half of 2015. In 2016 we experienced four incidents: two potash spills, one brine spill and one water release with high suspended solids. In the first half of 2015, we had two
environmental incidents: related to one brine spill and a minor propane gas release. |

PotashCorp 2016 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q |
|
26 |
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 |
|
|
|
i Weaker benchmark pricing lowered our average realized price during the quarter. |
|
|
|
i Our average realized price declined as lower global energy costs and new nitrogen capacity pressured prices for all nitrogen
products. |
Sales Volumes |
|
|
|
i Volumes decreased due to weaker North American industrial demand. |
|
|
|
h Strong sales volumes in the first quarter of 2016 (compared
to 2015), driven by increased demand and additional production availability at our recently expanded Lima facility, were almost offset by lower volumes in the second quarter of 2016 (compared to 2015). |
Cost of Goods Sold |
|
|
|
h Average costs, including our hedge position, for natural gas
used as feedstock in production decreased 31 percent. Costs for natural gas used as feedstock in Trinidad production fell 37 percent (contract price indexed primarily to Tampa ammonia prices) while our US spot costs for natural gas decreased 25
percent. Including losses on our hedge position, our US gas prices fell 22 percent. |
|
|
|
h Average costs, including our hedge position, for natural gas
used as feedstock in production decreased 32 percent. Costs for natural gas used as feedstock in Trinidad production fell 38 percent (contract price indexed primarily to Tampa ammonia prices) while our US spot costs for natural gas decreased 26

|
i Our average realized price was down as weaker demand weighed on prices, most notably for fertilizers. |
Sales Volumes |
|
|
|
i Sales volumes were down due primarily to weaker North American demand. |
|
|
|
i Lower sales volumes for the second quarter of 2016 (compared to 2015) were partly offset by higher sales volumes in the
first quarter of 2016 (compared to 2015) as a result of fewer production constraints. |
Cost of Goods Sold |
|
|
|
i A discount rate reduction resulted in an increase in provisions for asset retirement obligations. |

i A discount rate reduction resulted in an increase in provisions for asset retirement obligations. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
i An impairment of property, plant and equipment related to a product that the company will no longer produce resulted in a negative cost of goods sold variance in feed and
industrial. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
h Cost of goods
sold were lower due to the initial realization of efficiency and procurement initiatives started in the second half of 2015; reduced ammonia costs (21 percent); and lower sulfur costs (33 percent). |

Production |
|
|
|
Production at Aurora and White Springs was curtailed in response to a lack of demand and limited storage
capacity. |
|
|
|
Production decreased due to second-quarter 2016 curtailments exceeding a production increase in first-quarter
2015. |
Safety |
|
|
|
In 2016, there were eight recordable injuries, including one lost-time injury, compared to five recordable
injuries and no lost-time injuries in 2015. |
|
|

Fewer recordable injuries in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was more than offset
by higher recordable injuries in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. There were two lost-time injuries in 2016 compared to one in 2015. |

Provincial Mining and Other Taxes |
|
|
|
Provincial mining and other taxes decreased primarily due to weaker potash prices. |
|
Earnings of Equity-accounted Investees |
|
|
|
Share of earnings of equity-accounted investees pertains primarily to SQM and APC.
Lower earnings were mainly due to lower earnings at APC. |
|
Dividend Income |
|
|
|
Dividend income from ICL decreased. |
|
Impairment of Available-for-sale Investment |
|
|
|
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q, a non-taxable impairment loss of $10 million was
recorded in net income on our investment in Sinofert. |
|
Finance Costs |

|
|
|
|
Income Taxes |
|
|
|
For the second quarter and first six months of 2016, income taxes decreased due to lower income before taxes. For the first
six months of 2016, 89 percent of the effective tax rate on the current years ordinary earnings pertained to current income taxes (2015 67 percent) and 11 percent related to deferred income taxes (2015 33
percent). The increase in the current portion was due to different income weightings between jurisdictions. |

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 |
i Receivables decreased mainly due to lower trade accounts receivable. |
|
|
|
h Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt grew due to an increase in our outstanding commercial paper.
|
i Investments were largely impacted by the lower fair value of our available-for-sale investments in Sinofert and
ICL. |
|
|
|
i Payables and accrued charges were lower mainly due to lower trade payables and a decrease in dividends payable.
|
|
|
|
|
h Pension and other post-retirement benefit liabilities were impacted by decreased discount rates. |
|
Equity |
i Equity was mainly impacted by net income (discussed in more detail above) and dividends declared. |
As at June 30, 2016, $112 million (December 31, 2015 $61 million) of our cash and cash equivalents was held in certain
foreign subsidiaries. There are no current plans to repatriate the funds at June 30, 2016 in a manner that would result in tax consequences.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Requirements
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
Our contractual obligations and other commitments detailed on page 82 of our 2015 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 signing of ammonia vessel agreements in the first quarter of 2016 increased our
operating leases in the contractual obligations and other commitments table referenced above as follows to June 30: 2017 $30 million, 2018 $26 million, 2019 $26 million, 2020 $26 million, 2021 $26 million and
thereafter $132 million.

Capital Expenditures
Page 57 of our 2015 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. There have been no significant changes to these projects since our March 31, 2016 Form 10-Q.
We anticipate that all capital spending will be financed by internally generated cash flows supplemented, if and as necessary, by borrowing from existing or other
available financing sources.

|
|
|
Cash used in financing activities in 2016 was largely the result of dividends paid, more than
offsetting proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper. Cash used in financing activities in 2015 was primarily due to dividends paid and repayment of commercial paper exceeding proceeds from senior notes. |

We believe that internally generated cash flow, supplemented if and as 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 materially affect our ability to access our historical sources of liquidity.

Capital Structure and Management
Principal Debt Instruments
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, and fixed rates on our senior notes.
During the first quarter of 2016, the
company extended its entire $3,500 million credit facility to May 31, 2020 and in June 2016, $3,250 million was extended to May 31, 2021. There were no other significant changes to the nature of our outstanding commercial paper, credit
facility, short-term line of credit and uncommitted letter of credit facility described on page 85 in our 2015 AIR. As at June 30, 2016, interest rates on outstanding commercial paper ranged from 0.8 percent to 1.0 percent. (December 31,
2015 0.5 percent to 0.8 percent).
The line of credit and credit facility have financial tests and covenants, including consequences of
non-compliance, with which we must comply at each quarter-end. The covenants referenced on page 85 of our 2015 AIR remained consistent during the second quarter of 2016, with the exception of certain covenants for our credit facility. For our credit
facility, the
debt-to-
capital ratio covenant was increased from 0.60 to 0.65 and the long-term debt-to-EBITDA covenant was removed. We were in compliance with all covenants as at June 30, 2016 and at this time
anticipate being in compliance with such covenants through 2016.
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 2015 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 5.5. |

PotashCorp 2016 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q |
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 US commercial paper market 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. |

Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimate policies in the first six months of 2016.
We have discussed the development, selection and application of our key accounting policies, and the critical accounting estimates and assumptions they involve,
with the audit committee of the Board, and the committee reviewed the disclosures described in this Form 10-Q.
Recent Accounting Changes
Refer to Note 1 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q for information on issued accounting pronouncements that will be effective in
future periods and were effective in 2016.
Outlook
Potash Market Outlook
Following a prolonged period of market uncertainty and weakening fundamentals, we
believe potash markets have reached their low point. Recently settled contracts in China and India and a reduction in inventory throughout the supply chain over the last six months are expected to support a more constructive environment. Much like
recoveries seen after previous periods of delayed contracts, we anticipate stronger buyer engagement to support demand through the second half of 2016 with full-year estimates of 58-61 million tonnes.
In North America, we anticipate improved affordability will help support deliveries for the rest of 2016. We expect
shipments for the full year in the range of 9.2-9.7 million tonnes, up from the prior quarters estimate and above 2015s total.
In Latin
America, favorable crop economics and agronomic need are expected to push 2016 shipments to 10.8-11.3 million tonnes slightly above 2015 totals and in line with our previous guidance range.
In China, we expect recently settled contracts and strong underlying consumption to support 2016 shipments in the range of 13.5-14.5 million tonnes, consistent with
our previous estimates, but below 2015s record levels. While contract negotiations are ongoing, Canpotex expects to deliver tonnage to its Chinese customers in the second half of 2016.
In India, we anticipate that an improved monsoon and lower farm retail prices will support improved potash consumption for the rest of the year, but due to weaker first-half deliveries, we have lowered our 2016
shipment estimate to a range of 3.7-4.2 million tonnes. Canpotex has reached agreements with its customers in India for shipments over the next three months with deliveries expected to begin in the weeks ahead.
In Other Asian markets, adverse weather conditions and cautious buying patterns during the first half are expected to result in demand of 8.3-8.7 million tonnes for
the full year, below our previous expectations and 2015s total as well.

Financial Outlook
While markets have stabilized in recent weeks and we continue to forecast our 2016 potash sales volumes in the range of 8.3-8.8 million tonnes, lower prices earlier in
the year are expected to weigh on our results for the remainder of 2016. We now expect potash gross margin to be in the range of $400-$600 million.
Similarly, we anticipate a weaker price environment to negatively impact our nitrogen and phosphate segments through the rest of 2016. We have lowered our
combined nitrogen and phosphate gross margin guidance for the year to a range of $400-$550 million.
Lower earnings have reduced our expected provincial mining and other taxes for 2016, now forecast in the range of 23-26 percent of potash gross margin
(excluding $32 million of New Brunswick severance costs). Additionally, our effective income tax rate is expected to fall to a range of 16-18 percent given reduced earnings and a greater proportion of income from lower-tax jurisdictions.
Anticipated selling and administrative expenses for the year have been lowered to a range of $220-$230 million. Due to the recent strength of the Canadian dollar,
we have revised our full-year foreign exchange rate assumption to CDN$1.32 per US dollar.
As a result of the noted changes, we have lowered our
full-year 2016 earnings guidance to $0.40-$0.55 per share, including notable charges through the first-half of $0.11 per share. For the third quarter, we forecast a range of $0.05-$0.10 per share. We also intend to reduce our quarterly dividend from
$0.25 per share to $0.10 per share commencing with the declaration of our next dividend in September.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, those in the Outlook section of Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, contain forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other US federal securities laws) or forward-looking information (within the
meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation) that relates to future events or our future financial performance. These statements can be identified by expressions of belief, expectation or intention, as well as those statements that are not
historical fact. These statements often contain words such as should, could, expect, may, anticipate, forecast, believe, intend, estimates,
plans and similar expressions. These statements are based on certain factors and assumptions as set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including with respect to: foreign exchange rates, expected growth, results of operations,
performance, business prospects and opportunities and effective tax rates. While the company considers these factors and assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, they may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. The results or events set forth in forward-looking statements may differ materially from actual results or events. Several factors could cause actual results or events
to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, unexpected developments with respect to any of the following: variations from our assumptions with respect to foreign exchange rates, expected
growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities, and effective tax rates; fluctuations in supply and demand in the fertilizer, sulfur and petrochemical markets; changes in competitive pressures, including pricing
pressures; risks and uncertainties related to any operating and workforce changes made in response to our industry and the markets we serve, including mine and inventory shutdowns; adverse or uncertain economic conditions and changes in credit and
financial markets; economic and political uncertainty around the world; changes in capital markets; the results of sales contract negotiations; unexpected or adverse
weather conditions; changes in currency and exchange rates; risks related to reputational loss; the occurrence of a major safety incident; inadequate insurance coverage for a significant
liability; inability to obtain relevant permits for our operations; catastrophic events or malicious acts, including terrorism; certain complications that may arise in our mining process, including water inflows; risks and uncertainties related to
our international operations and assets; our ownership of non-controlling equity interests in other companies; our prospects to reinvest capital in strategic opportunities and acquisitions; risks associated with natural gas and other hedging
activities; security risks related to our information technology systems; imprecision in reserve estimates; costs and availability of transportation and distribution for our raw materials and products, including railcars and ocean freight; changes
in, and the effects of, government policies and regulations; earnings and the decisions of taxing authorities which could affect our effective tax rates; increases in the price or reduced availability of the raw materials that we use; our ability to
attract, develop, engage and retain skilled employees; strikes or other forms of work stoppage or slowdowns; rates of return on, and the risks associated with, our investments and capital expenditures; timing and impact of capital expenditures; the
impact of further innovation; adverse developments in new and pending legal proceedings or government investigations; and violations of our governance and compliance policies. Additional risks and uncertainties can be found in our Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 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. As a result of these and other factors, there is no assurance that any of the events, circumstances or results anticipated by forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q will occur or, if they do, of what impact they will have on our business, our performance, the results of our operations and our financial condition. 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 otherwise, except as required by law.

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 2015 AIR, pages 27 to 33.
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 2015 audited annual
consolidated financial statements and there were no significant changes as at June 30, 2016.
Price Risk
The carrying amount of our investments in ICL and Sinofert was $868 million at June 30, 2016 (December 31, 2015 $982 million). A 10 percent increase in
the prices of these investments would increase other comprehensive income by $87 million, while a 10 percent decrease would reduce other comprehensive income by $68 million and an impairment of $19 million for our investment in Sinofert
would be recognized in net income. At June 30, 2016, this analysis assumed that price decreases related to the companys investment in ICL would not represent an impairment, price decreases related to the companys investment in Sinofert
below the carrying amount at the impairment date of June 30, 2016 ($190 million) would represent an impairment and all other variables remain constant.
There were no substantial changes to the price sensitivities related to our natural gas derivatives reported in Note 25 to the 2015 audited annual consolidated
financial statements.
As at June 30, 2016, the companys net exposure to natural gas derivatives in the form of swaps was a notional amount of
54 million MMBtu (December 31, 2015 swaps was a notional amount of 65 million MMBtu) with maturities in 2016 through 2022.
Foreign Exchange Risk
As at June 30, 2016, the
company had entered into foreign currency forward contracts to sell US dollars and receive Canadian dollars in the notional amount of $64 million (December 31, 2015 $134 million) at an average exchange rate of 1.2881 (December 31,
2015 1.3553) per US dollar with maturities in 2016. There were no substantial changes to the foreign exchange sensitivities reported in Note 25 to the 2015 audited annual consolidated financial statements.
Interest Rate Risk
As at June 30, 2016, the company
had no significant exposure to interest rate risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2016, 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, 2016, 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, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For a description of certain other legal and
environmental proceedings, see Note 10 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Other Information
Mine Safety Disclosures
Safety is the companys top priority, and we are committed to providing a healthy and safe work environment for our employees, contractors and all others at our sites to help meet our company-wide goal of achieving no harm to people.
The operations at the companys Aurora, Weeping Water and White
Springs facilities are subject to the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as amended by the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, and the implementing regulations, which impose stringent health and safety
standards on numerous aspects of mineral extraction and processing operations, including the training of personnel, operating procedures, operating equipment and other matters. Our Senior
Safety Leadership Team is responsible for managing compliance with applicable government regulations, as well as implementing and overseeing the elements of our safety program as outlined in our
Safety, Health and Environment Manual.
Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Section 1503(a))
requires us to include certain safety information in the periodic reports we file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The information concerning mine safety violations and other regulatory matters required by Section
1503(a) and Item 104 of Regulation S-K is included in Exhibit 95 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
