Presented, December 8, 2009
Mosaic (MOS) belongs to Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing industry
In the U.S. – about 700 companies with combined annual revenue of $30 billion
Highly concentrated industry:◦ 8 largest phosphate fertilizer producers generate 90% of
revenues in the segment Demand for agri-chemicals depends mainly on demand for
various crops, and thus crop prices.
http://www.hoovers.com/chemical-manufacturing---agricultural-/--ID__161--/freeuk-ind-fr-profile-basic.xhtml
Headquarters: Plymouth, MN Industry: Agricultural Chemicals World's largest phosphate producer: makes
agricultural fertilizer out of potash and phosphate 13% share of global phosphate and potash
production and 58% & 40% share of American production, respectively
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=MOS
Three segments: Phosphates, Potash, and Offshore. ◦ Phosphates
Produces and sells phosphate crop nutrients for use in crop nutrients and feed phosphate for animal feed ingredients
◦ Potash Produces and sells potash for use as fertilizers and animal
feed ingredients, as well as in industrial applications Potash is also used for de-icing and as a water softener
regenerant◦ Offshore
Mosaic used to produce nitrogen fertilizer until selling its interest in Saskferco Products ULC at a $673.4 million gain in fiscal 2009. This was always a relatively small part of the company’s business.

Mosaic's temporary decline in phosphate profitability was due to unfavorable pricing of sulfur and ammonia, which should be viewed as an abnormal
occurrence. http://www.wikinvest.com/image/MOS_opincbreakdown.gif (accessed Dec. 7, 2009).
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
Foreign operationsEconomies of scaleMOS & POT – duopolies in fertilizer market – price controlHigh barriers to entry and industry is capital-intensive
Subject to financial assurance requirements as part of the routine business operations -> increases costs & liquidity requirements.Crop nutrient business is seasonal -results in carrying significant amounts of inventory & NWCInability to predict future seasonal crop nutrient demand accuratelyLocation of international assets in countries with volatile conditions
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
Increase in demand for biofuels (require corn fertilizers)Increased demand for food but low farm acreage leads to increase in demand for fertilizersModerate drought conditions will increase demand for Mosaic’s products
Lower relative value of the US dollarLower gas pricesCompetitors announced plans to expand capacity of phosphate production over next few yearsSEC investigation for breaching Antitrust LegislationUnder investigation by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice for its role in unlawful pollution in Florida
Mosaic acquired Esterhazy, Saskatchewan potash mine in late 2006
"This successful expansion, both in terms of the cost and additional capacity, underscores our strong commitment to cost-effectively grow our Potash business”
Jim Prokopanko, CEO Mosaic plans to add approximately 200,000 metric tonnes
of incremental capacity at its Colonsay, Saskatchewan mine by 2010.
Mosaic has few competitors since the fertilizer industry has significant barriers to entry and economies of scale. It would cost from $1.6-$2.5B for a new company to enter the industry. A company would need five to seven years of development time to build mines and factories, build rail and gas lines, and purchase rail cars and storage before it could even begin making a profit from Potash or Phosphates.
Mosaic primarily competes: ◦ Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (POT)◦ Agrium (AGU)
