CF Industries10-K: Margin pressure

Natural gas accounted for 34% of total production costs in 2025, creating margin risk

What happened

With natural gas comprising over a third of production costs, the company is highly exposed to energy price volatility. This creates a strong incentive to invest in cost-control measures, energy efficiency technologies, hedging strategies, or alternative feedstocks to protect profitability.
