Yara's production is geographically well diversified: The company runs large-scale plants in Europe, and also in Canada via the recently acquired production facility of Saskferco Products Inc. In addition, it sources low-cost gas supplies through joint-venture operations (about 30% of total production) in Trinidad, Qatar, Australia, and Russia. Yara further benefits from access to phosphate via its mine in Finland. The ratings remain constrained, however, by the high cyclicality of the nitrogen business, which is very sensitive to supply-and-demand imbalances. This often results in difficulties in the timely passing on of energy priceNOR98485115101030 151010 1510 15Yara International ASA383905EUROMIDAFRYAR@NOSUMMARYGLOBISSCORPChemicalsCredit & Investment ResearchS&P Credit Researchhttp://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/spcred/682062spcred/682062normThe latest Research Update from S&Pglobal11/7/2008 6:38:31 PM175Research Update682062NorwayFertilizers & Agricultural ChemicalsEurope, Middle East, AfricaGlobal IssuersCorporationsChemicalsResearch UpdateOn July 15, 2008, Standard&Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BBB' long-term and 'A-2' short-term corporate credit ratings on Norway-based fertilizer company Yara International ASA following the company's announcement that it plans to acquire Canada-based Saskferco Products Inc. The outlook is stable. The C$1.6 billion acquisition will be debt financed via existing facilities; however, we expect credit protection ratios on a pro forma basis for the acquisition to remain well within expectations for the rating, with funds from operations (FFO) to debt of above 45% for 2008.

The market conditions are -- have been very strong over the quarter, more than compensating for the increase in energy prices. And if you look at the future prospects, we also reported today that we feel very strongly about the market situation ahead. The fundamentals are very strong. The grain markets will remain strong. Inventory level has remained low for quite some time so there is an urgent need to produce more food. So I think that food prices are going to remain high and the farmers, I think, will have the purchasing power to keep increasing the need for fertilizer.
