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 an 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; that future business, regulatory and industry conditions will be within the parameters expected by us, including with respect to prices, margins, demand, supply, product availability, 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 2022 and in the future; our expectations regarding the impacts, direct and indirect, of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, customers, business partners, employees, supply chain, other stakeholders and the overall 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 contracts; and our ability to successfully implement new initiatives and programs. 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. Events or circumstances that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements 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 COVID-19 pandemic, including variants of the COVID-19 virus and the efficiency and distribution of vaccines, and its resulting effects on economic conditions, restrictions imposed by public health authorities or governments, including government-imposed vaccine mandates, fiscal and monetary responses by governments and financial institutions and disruptions to global supply chains; 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 our adjusted net earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA (consolidated and by segment) and sustaining capital expenditures guidance ranges 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 securities laws.

March 2022#3Forward Looking Statements N 3 Non-IFRS Financial Measures This presentation contains certain non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA guidance, Potash cash cost of product manufactured (COPM) per tonne, ammonia controllable cash COPM per tonne, free cash flow, Retail cash operating coverage ratio, and Retail adjusted average working capital to sales, 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. Additional information with respect to such 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, a description of any significant difference between each forward-looking non-IFRS financial measure and the equivalent historical non-IFRS financial measure, and a quantitative reconciliation of each non-IFRS financial measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, is contained under the heading "Appendix B - Non-IFRS Financial Measures" included in our management's discussion and analysis in dated February 17, 2022 for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "MD&A"), which information is incorporated by reference in this presentation.
