There has been a historical difference in how IHS and actual pricing is reported; there is also a difference in forecast viewpoint which we
have tried to express in the table below; SIRE management does not rely on IHS forecasts for budgeting purposes; SIRE management's
long-term forecasts utilize contracting activity, client discussions and detailed market analysis

IHS vs Actuals Reporting Differential
Historically, SWY's realized export pricing
has been consistently below IHS pricing
estimates primarily due to differences in
the way IHS approximates logistics costs
(particularly rail costs) as compared to
SWY's true contractual agreements with
logistics providers
▪ IHS also makes inaccurate assumptions on
inland costs for exports and take more
favorable view on Chinese soda ash
capacity, costs, and pricing
(31)
IHS vs Mgmt. Forecast Difference in
View
▪ IHS is forecasting future export pricing at
unprecedented levels, higher than SWY's
projected estimates and higher than their
own historical pricing
■ Costs in China are expected to decline in
2023 compared to 2022 due to lower
energy and other input costs
▪ Chinese margins in 2022 are 2-3 times
higher than the historic normal due to
limited availabilty of product/max
operating rates
