Certain statements and other information included in this presentation constitute "forward-looking information" or "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") under applicable securities laws. All statements in this presentation, other than those relating to historical information or current conditions, are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: Nutrien's 2018 annual guidance, including expectations regarding our diluted earnings per share and EBITDA (both consolidated and Retail); statements relating to certain strategic benefits expected to result from the merger of Agrium Inc. and Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (the "Merger"), the nature and timing of operating synergies, cost savings and Nutrien's expected capital allocation strategy; Nutrien's strategic priorities; Nutrien's market outlook for 2018, including potash, nitrogen and phosphate outlook and including anticipated supply and demand for our products and services, expected market and industry conditions with respect to crop nutrient application rates, planted acres, crop mix, prices and the impact of currency fluctuations and import and export volumes. Forward-looking statements in this presentation are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Nutrien, including expectations and assumptions concerning: Nutrien's ability to successfully integrate and realize the anticipated benefits of its already completed (including the merger of Agrium and PotashCorp) and future acquisitions, and that we will be able to implement our standards, controls, procedures and policies at any acquired businesses to realize the expected synergies; that future business, regulatory and industry conditions will be within the parameters expected by Nutrien, including with respect to prices, margins, demand, supply, product availability, supplier agreements, availability and cost of labor and interest, exchange and effective tax rates; the completion of our expansion projects on schedule, as planned and on budget; assumptions with respect to global economic conditions and the accuracy of our market outlook expectations for 2018 and in the future; the adequacy of our cash generated from operations and our ability to access our credit facilities or capital markets for additional sources of financing; our ability to identify suitable candidates for acquisitions and divestitures and negotiate acceptable terms; ability to maintain investment grade rating and achieve our performance targets; assumptions in respect of our ability to sell equity positions, including the ability to find suitable buyers at expected prices and successfully complete such transactions in a timely manner; the receipt, on time, of all necessary permits, utilities and project approvals with respect to our expansion projects and that we will have the resources necessary to meet the projects’ approach. Although Nutrien believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Nutrien can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct.Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or expectations expressed in this presentation. Key risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: general global economic, market and business conditions; the failure to successfully integrate and realize the expected synergies associated with the merger of Agrium and PotashCorp, including within the expected timeframe; weather conditions, including impacts from regional flooding and/or drought conditions; crop planted acreage, yield and prices; the supply and demand and price levels for our products; governmental and regulatory requirements and actions by governmental authorities, including changes in government policy, government ownership requirements, changes in environmental, tax and other laws or regulations and the interpretation thereof; political risks, including civil unrest, actions by armed groups or conflict and malicious acts including terrorism; the occurrence of a major environmental or safety incident; innovation and security risks related to our systems; the inability to find suitable buyers for our equity positions and counterparty and transaction risk associated therewith; regional natural gas supply restrictions; counterparty and sovereign risk; delays in completion of turnarounds at our major facilities; gas supply interruptions at our Egyptian and Argentinian facilities; any significant impairment of the carrying value of certain assets; risks related to reputational loss; certain complications that may arise in our mining processes; the ability to attract, engage and retain skilled employees and strikes or other forms of work stoppages; and other risk factors detailed from time to time in Agrium and PotashCorp reports filed with the Canadian securities regulators and the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States, including those disclosed in Agrium's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2016 and its 2016 annual management's discussion and analysis, as well as PotashCorp's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and Form 10-Q filed throughout 2017.

Nutrien operates across the globe, with a complementary footprint of

1 Adjusted combined EBITDA are derived from historical financial information of PotashCorp and Agrium and do not include the effects of a) intersegment eliminations, b) the equity earnings and operating results of completed or anticipated divestitures in connection with the merger, c) allocation of certain corporate costs or d) the impairment charge related to Phosphate. Determination of Adjusted Combined EBITDA required allocation of historical amounts on a basis consistent with how Nutrien will report financial information in the future. This information does not purport to project the future operating results of Nutrien, and is not necessarily indicative of what Nutrien’s results of operations would have been had the merger been completed on January 1, 2017.2 Based on nameplate capacity, which may exceed operational capability.

• Crop nutrient gross profit grew due to increased sales volumes, while gross profit margins per tonne remained

relatively flat.

• Crop protection products gross profit was higher due to increased sales volumes across all regions and an

increase in proprietary product sales.

• Seed results increased due to purchases in the U.S. that were delayed from Q3 pushing sales into Q4.

• Services and Other results supported by higher livestock export shipments and wool commissions in Australia

and high demand for fall nutrient and crop protection application services in North America.

• Potash gross profit grew due to a combination of higher prices and sales volumes which more than

offset an increase in the cost of product sold per tonne.

• Nitrogen gross profit was significantly reduced due to plant outages and lower realized ammonia and

UAN prices.

• Phosphate results were impacted by higher rock and sulfur costs as well as an extended maintenance

shutdown at our Redwater facility, which increased cost of product sold per tonne.

• Wholesale Other results were negatively impacted by lower ammonium sulfate sales due to the

shutdown at our Redwater facility.
