All statements in this document, other than those relating to historical information or current conditions, are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: Nutrien's business strategies, plans, prospects and opportunities; our 2023 guidance and targets, including expectations regarding our adjusted net earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA (consolidated); expectations regarding our growth and capital allocation intentions, strategies and internal forecasts; advancement of strategic growth initiatives; capital spending expectations for 2023; our intention to complete share repurchases in 2023 and declare growing dividends, including the funds allocated thereto; expectations regarding performance of our operating segments in 2023 and beyond, including potash production and sales volumes and nitrogen production and sales volumes, our operating segment market outlooks and our expectations for market conditions and fundamentals in 2023 and beyond, and the anticipated supply and demand for our products and services, expected global market and industry conditions with respect to nutrient prices, planting season, planted acres, weather, crop prices, stock-to-use ratios, costs, grower margins and economics, grain and oilseed supplies, crop input expenditures, inventories, production, supply and demand, shipment scenarios, consumption and the impact of import and export volumes as well as restrictions and sanctions, natural gas curtailments and the war between Ukraine and Russia; growing and expanding our Retail network; the proposed Geismar clean ammonia project and progress thereof; the potential collaboration with EXMAR to evaluate building a low-carbon ammonia fuel marine vessel; Nutrien's ability to develop innovative and sustainable solutions initiatives and collaborate with partners, suppliers and NGOs to promote sustainable and productive agriculture; expectations regarding our sustainability, climate-change and ESG initiatives to promote sustainable and productive agriculture, including our 2030 greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions and reduction of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, including our plans, expectations and strategies with respect thereto; Nutrien's pursuit of opportunities relating to its low-carbon and clean ammonia; the deployment of N2O abatement projects and the reduction of CO2e emissions in nitrogen production; Nutrien's near-term focus on economically maximizing CO2 capture, utilization and storage; Nutrien's ability to deploy wind and solar energy at its facilities by the end of 2025; our ability to access renewable energy; expectations concerning future product and service offerings, including the planned expansion of our digital platform and new grower financial solutions; our intention to enhance our network footprint and deploy enabling capabilities; brownfield expansion projects, the expected impact on net saleable tonnes and progress and timing thereof; plans to expand our autonomous mining programs, purchase additional mining machines and advance predictive maintenance technology; our ability to increase our share of proprietary products and targets with respect to proprietary gross margin; acquisitions and divestitures and the anticipated benefits thereof; and expectations in connection with our ability to deliver returns to our shareholders. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. As such, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. All of the forward-looking statements are qualified by the assumptions that are stated or inherent in such forward-looking statements, including the assumptions referred to below and elsewhere in this presentation. Although we believe that these assumptions are reasonable, having regard to our experience and our perception of historical trends, this list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the forward- looking statements and readers should not place undue reliance on these assumptions and the forward-looking statements to which they relate. Current conditions, economic and otherwise, render assumptions, although reasonable when made, subject to greater uncertainty. The additional key assumptions that have been made include, among other things, assumptions with respect to our ability to successfully complete, integrate and realize the anticipated benefits of our already completed and future acquisitions and divestitures, and that we will be able to implement our standards, controls, procedures and policies in respect of any acquired businesses and to realize the expected synergies on the anticipated timeline or at all; that future business, regulatory and industry conditions will be within the parameters expected by us, including with respect to prices, expenses, margins, demand, supply, product availability, shipments, consumption, weather conditions, supplier agreements, availability and cost of labor and interest, exchange and effective tax rates; assumptions with respect to global economic conditions and the accuracy of our market outlook expectations for 2023 and in the future; assumptions with respect to our intention to complete share repurchases under our share repurchase programs, including the funding thereof, existing and future market conditions, including with respect to the price of our common shares, and compliance with respect to applicable limitations under securities laws and regulations and stock exchange policies; assumptions with respect to our ability to declare and pay dividends to shareholders and compliance with respect to applicable corporate laws; our expectations regarding the impacts, direct and indirect, of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia on, among other things, global supply and demand, energy and commodity prices, interest rates, supply chains and the global macroeconomic environment, including inflation; our expectations regarding any ongoing impacts, direct and indirect, of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, customers, business partners, employees, supply chain, other stakeholders and the overall global economy; 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; our ability to maintain investment grade ratings and achieve our performance targets; our ability to successfully negotiate sales and other contracts; and our ability to successfully implement new initiatives and programs. In respect of our GHG emissions reduction commitment and other sustainability and climate-related initiatives and targets, we have made assumptions with respect to, among other things: that such target is achievable by deploying capital into N2O abatement at our nitric acid production facilities, energy efficiency improvements, carbon capture, utilization and storage, the use of natural gas to generate electricity and waste heat recovery; our ability to successfully deploy capital and pursue other operational measures, including the successful application to our current and future operations of existing and new technologies; the successful implementation by Nutrien of proposed or potential plans in respect thereof; projected capital investment levels, the flexibility of Nutrien's capital spending plans and the associated sources of funding; our ability to otherwise implement all technology necessary to achieve our GHG emissions reduction commitment and other sustainability and climate-related initiatives and targets; and the development, availability and performance of technology and technological innovations and associated expected future results. Note: All dollar amounts are stated in US dollars throughout the presentation unless otherwise noted. 2#3Notice to Investors Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict, which could cause actual results or events to differ materially from results or events expressed in such forward-looking statements. With respect to our sustainability and climate-related initiatives and targets, such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to: our ability to deploy sufficient capital to fund the necessary expenditures to implement the necessary operational changes to achieve these initiatives and targets; our ability to implement requisite operational changes; our ability to implement some or all of the technology necessary to efficiently and effectively achieve expected future results; the availability and commercial viability and scalability of emission reduction strategies and related technology and products; and the development and execution of implementing strategies. With respect to our business generally and our ability to meet the other targets, commitments, goals, strategies and related milestones and schedules disclosed herein, such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to: general global economic, market and business conditions; failure to complete announced and future acquisitions or divestitures at all or on the expected terms and within the expected timeline; climate change and 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 (including tariffs, trade restrictions and climate change initiatives), 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 cybersecurity risks related to our systems, including our costs of addressing or mitigating such risks; counterparty and sovereign risk; delays in completion of turnarounds at our major facilities; interruptions of or constraints in availability of key inputs, including natural gas and sulfur; any significant impairment of the carrying amount 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; the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and its potential impact on, among other things, global market conditions and supply and demand, energy and commodity prices, interest rates, supply chains and the global economy generally; the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting effects on economic conditions; and other risk factors detailed from time to time in Nutrien reports filed with the Canadian securities regulators and the Securities Exchange Commission in the United States. This presentation contains certain information which constitutes "financial outlook" and "future-oriented financial information" under applicable Canadian securities laws, including, adjusted net earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA (consolidated) guidance ranges, cash provided by operating activities, return on invested capital and retail proprietary gross margin, the purpose of which is to assist readers in understanding our expected and targeted financial results, and this information may not be appropriate for other purposes. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are made as of the date hereof and Nutrien disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements resulting from new information or future events, except as may be required under applicable Canadian securities legislation or applicable US federal securities laws. Non-IFRS Financial Measures This presentation contains certain non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings per share and return on invested capital which are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other companies. Management believes these non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios provide transparent and useful supplemental information to help investors evaluate our financial performance, financial condition and liquidity using the same measures as management. These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net earnings per share guidance and return on invested capital guidance are forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures. We do not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS because a meaningful or accurate calculation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort due to unknown variables, including the timing and amount of certain reconciling items, and the uncertainty related to future results. These unknown variables may include unpredictable transactions of significant value that may be inherently difficult to determine without unreasonable efforts. The probable significance of such unavailable information, which could be material to future results, cannot be addressed. Guidance for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net earnings per share excludes certain items such as, but not limited to, the impacts of share-based compensation, certain foreign exchange gain/loss (net of related derivatives), integration and restructuring related costs, impairment or reversal of impairment of assets, COVID-19 related expenses (including those recorded under finance costs), gain or loss on disposal of certain businesses and investments, IFRS adoption transition adjustments, and gain/loss on early extinguishment of debt or on settlement of derivatives due to discontinuance of hedge accounting. Additional information with respect to non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios, including, among other things, disclosure of their composition, how each non-IFRS financial measure and non-IFRS ratio provides useful information to investors and the additional purposes, if any, for which management uses each non-IFRS financial measure and non-GAAP ratio, the reason for any change in the label or composition of each non-IFRS financial measure and non-IFRS ratio from what was previously disclosed by Nutrien, information about the inability to provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures given the unavailability of reconciling information or the inability to assess the probable significance of such unavailable information, in each case, without unreasonable efforts, and a quantitative reconciliation of each non-IFRS financial measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, is contained under the heading "Appendix A - Non-IFRS Financial Measures" included in our management's discussion and analysis dated February 16, 2023 as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Annual MD&A"), under the heading "Appendix A - Non-IFRS Financial Measures" included in our management's discussion and analysis dated February 17, 2022 as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 MD&A") and under the heading "Appendix B - Non-IFRS Financial Measures" included in our management's discussion and analysis dated May 10, 2023 as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (the "Interim MD&A"), which information is incorporated by reference in this presentation. The Annual MD&A, 2021 MD&A and Interim MD&A are available under our corporate profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Other Financial Measures This presentation contains certain supplementary financial measures. Additional information with respect to such supplementary financial measures, including, among other things, an explanation of the composition of each supplementary financial measure, is contained under the heading "Appendix B - Other Financial Measures" included in our Annual MD&A, under the heading "Appendix C - Other Financial Measures" included in our 2021 MD&A and under the heading "Appendix C - Other Financial Measures" included in our Interim MD&A, which information is incorporated by reference in this presentation.

Anticipate increased global potash demand in 2H23 as a result of lower expected inventories and improved grower affordability compared to 2022. North American nitrogen supply has tightened during the spring season due to strong demand and lower net imports. Expect ammonia markets will strengthen as demand increases and supply remains challenged with approximately 40 percent of European capacity currently curtailed and Russian ammonia exports are constrained. • • North American dry phosphate prices firmed during the spring season driven by tight supplies and strong demand, while international prices have remained relatively stable, supported by demand in Brazil and India. Expect Chinese phosphate exports to increase moderately year-over-year due to expected loosening of government restrictions. ... 17 Source: Fertilizer Week, Nutrien#18Expect increased potash demand in North America and Brazil in 2023 Millions of Tonnes KCI 20 15 10 2023 5 T 0 19 20 21 22 23F India 19 20 21 22 23F Other Asia 19 20 21 North America 22 23F 19 20 21 22 23F Latin America 19 20 21 22 23F China 19 20 21 22 23F Other 2.7 3.0Mmt The settlement of a new potash contract in early April at $422/t provides Indian buyers an incentive to import fresh volumes in 2023, although we anticipate shipments will fall below historical norms. 8.3 -9.8Mmt Palm oil prices remain historically high; and high- priced 2022 inventories have been largely drawn down, incenting buyers to reengage with the market; particularly with the added stability brought by an Indian contract. 9.5 10.5Mmt Increased acreage expectations and strong crop commodity prices have led to strengthening demand as the spring application season has progressed. 15.0 16.5Mmt Brazil's Q1-23 shipments were in-line with recent years as potash affordability has improved y-o-y.
