SUGAR LAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 26, 2026--
CVR Partners, LP ("CVR Partners" or the "Partnership") $(UAN)$ today announced preliminary estimated financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025.
"The planned turnaround at our Coffeyville facility was completed as scheduled in early November; however, the subsequent startup was delayed by several weeks due to downtime at the third-party owned air separation unit," said Mark Pytosh, Chief Executive Officer. "Despite this delay, we saw strong demand for nitrogen fertilizers in the fourth quarter and pricing remained robust as inventories continue to be tight amid ongoing geopolitical tensions."
Preliminary estimated fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results are expected to be within the following ranges:

accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United

below.
Preliminary Financial Data
The financial and operating results included in this press release are preliminary estimates and subject to the completion of our financial statements, including the completion of the annual audit by the Partnership's independent registered public accounting firm. The Partnership's actual results may differ as a result of the Partnership's financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time the Partnership's results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025 are issued.
These preliminary estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be viewed as indicative of the Partnership's results for any future period. The Partnership's independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to these preliminary estimated financial results and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to these preliminary estimates.
Non-GAAP Measures
Our management uses certain non-GAAP measures, and reconciliations to those measures, to evaluate current and past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the measures defined below.
The following is a non-GAAP measure we present for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025:
EBITDA - Net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.
We present this measure because we believe it may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations in conjunction with our GAAP results, including but not limited to our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the fertilizer industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods and our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable GAAP measures. See "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" included herein for reconciliation of these amounts. Due to rounding, numbers presented within this section may not add or equal to numbers or totals presented elsewhere within this document.
