Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Nutrien North American Pension Committee,

Plan Administrator and Management of the

Nutrien 401(k) Retirement Plan

Loveland, Colorado

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Nutrien 401(k) Retirement Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Nutrien 401(k) Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

NUTRIEN 401(k) RETIREMENT PLAN

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 and 2023

(US dollars)

 

1.	PLAN DESCRIPTION

The following description of the Nutrien 401(k) Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

The Plan sponsor, Nutrien US LLC (formerly Agrium U.S. Inc.) (the “Company”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nutrien Ltd. (“Nutrien”). The Plan is a defined contribution plan established for the benefit of eligible employees of the Company; Nutrien Ag Solutions, Inc. (“NAS”); PCS Administration (USA), Inc. (“PCS”); PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.; PCS Sales (USA), Inc.; certain employees of White Springs Agricultural Chemicals, Inc.; and certain employees of PCS Nitrogen, Inc. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

The trustee and recordkeeper of the Plan is Fidelity Management Trust Company (“Fidelity” or “Trustee”). The Plan is administered by a committee of three or more persons (the “Plan Committee”) appointed by Nutrien’s Board of Directors. The Plan Committee determines the appropriateness of the Plan’s investment offerings and monitors investment performance.

All of the Plan’s investment assets are held in a trust account at the Trustee and consist of an interest in an investment account of the Nutrien 401(k) Retirement Plan Master Trust (the “Master Trust”), a master trust established by an affiliate of the Company on behalf of the Company and administered by the Trustee.

Plan transfers

During 2024, the account balances for certain participants in the PCS 401(k) Retirement Plan and the Nutrien Collectively Bargained 401(k) Retirement Plan amounting to $106,520,271 were transferred into the Plan. In April 2024, as a result of the merger with Waypoint, $7,693,500 was also transferred into the Plan. These amounts are included in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits on the affiliated plan transfers and other line.

Participant eligibility and plan entry

All full-time and part-time employees of the Company are immediately eligible to participate in the Plan and may do so as soon as practical upon date of hire or status change. All employees designated as seasonal or temporary require 12 months of employment for participation and may enter the Plan as soon as administratively feasible following completion of service eligibility.

Contributions

Participants may contribute up to 75 percent of eligible compensation each year, as defined in the Plan, subject to certain Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), limitations. These contributions may be pre-tax contributions and/or ROTH after-tax contributions. Participants who are age 50 and over may also make “catch-up” contributions. The Plan has an automatic enrollment provision, under which new participants make a 3 percent pre-tax contribution, unless they formally waive participation or elect a different participation level. The Plan has an automatic increase provision, under which new participants are automatically enrolled to have an automatic increase of 1 percent per year up to a maximum of 10 percent, unless they formally waive participation.

The Company matches 150 percent of the first 6 percent of eligible compensation that participants contribute for a maximum match of 9 percent of eligible compensation. Catch-up contributions are eligible for the Company match. Participants may also rollover amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or contribution plans (rollover contributions), which are not eligible for the Company match.

After the end of each plan year, the Company may make an additional “true-up” matching contribution to the participant account if the aggregate matching contribution allocation for the plan year is less than the amount the participant would otherwise have received as matching contributions had the participant contributed at least 6 percent of eligible compensation for each pay period throughout the plan year. The amount of the true-up contribution will be the difference between the amount of matching contributions allocated to the participant account during the plan year and the amount that would have been allocated for the plan year had the participant contributed at least 6 percent of eligible compensation throughout the year.

 

7

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their employee and employer contributions deposited after January 1, 2020 in their account balances.

Prior to January 1, 2020 all discretionary additional NAS company contributions and earnings thereon vest to the participants based upon their years of service as follows:

 

Years of Service		Vesting Percentage
Less than three		50%
Three or more		100%

Prior to January 1, 2020, NAS participants are 100 percent vested upon reaching age 65, death, or upon plan termination, regardless of the participant’s years of service. Terminated participants forfeit non-vested amounts. Forfeitures are accumulated during the Plan year and may be used to reduce NAS company contributions or pay Plan administrative expenses. During 2024, there was $32,870 forfeitures applied to NAS company contributions. The balance of forfeited non-vested accounts was $137,025 at December 31, 2024 (2023 – $142,715). Refer to the Plan document for vesting provisions related to acquired plan account balances.

Participant accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and allocations of (a) the Company matching contributions, (b) Plan earnings and losses, and (c) administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined in the Plan document. The benefit a participant is entitled to is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Distributions

Distributions from the Plan may be made to a participant upon death, total disability, retirement, financial hardship, or termination of employment. In-service withdrawals are also permitted after a participant attains age 59¹⁄₂. Company contributions, if any, are subject to certain forfeiture provisions.

Upon termination of employment, a participant whose vested account balance is greater than $7,000 may elect to receive a distribution of his or her account balance, leave the vested account balance in the Plan until a date not to exceed April 1 of the year following the year in which the participant reaches age 72 (age 70 ¹⁄₂ if the participant was born before July 1, 1949) or request a direct rollover. A participant with a vested account balance between $1,000 and $7,000 (including the value of the Participant’s Rollover Account) which has not elected to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the participant in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly in accordance with Article 11, will automatically have the distribution directly rollover to the individual retirement account designated by the Committee. If the participant’s vested account balance is $1,000 or less (including the value of the Participant’s Rollover Account), the Committee may direct that the amount be automatically distributed.

For all participant-driven distributions, any portion of a participant’s account that is invested in Nutrien common stock may be distributed in cash or in common shares of Nutrien, at the election of the participant.

Participants may make withdrawals, not to exceed their pre-tax contributions, to satisfy one of the immediate and heavy financial needs as described in the Plan document.

The designated beneficiary is entitled to a death benefit distribution equal to the participant’s vested account balance.

Notes receivable from participants

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to a maximum amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to 20 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account. Loans bear interest based on the prevailing terms when the loan was made. Interest rate is established at the inception of the loan and is set at one percentage point higher than the prime lending rate as posted in Reuters as of the first business day of the calendar month in which the loan is made. The interest rate is fixed and does not change for the duration of the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. A participant may generally have no more than one outstanding loan at any one time. As of December 31, 2024, participant loans have maturities through 2044 at interest rates ranging from 4.25 percent to 10.5 percent.

 

8

Investment options

Participants direct the investment of their account balances and contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers Nutrien common stock, a selection of mutual and common collective trust funds, short-term funds and one pooled investment stable value fund. Dividends distributed by a participant’s investment in Nutrien common stock are reinvested in Nutrien common stock. The Nutrien common stock purchase account is a money market fund that is used in the recordkeeping of the purchases and sales of fractional shares of Nutrien common stock and is not available as a participant-directed investment option.

Participants who are enrolled in the Plan under the automatic enrollment provision and who have not otherwise made an investment election, will have their contributions and the Company contributions invested in the Plan’s “default fund,” which has been designated as State Street Target Retirement date funds based on the retirement date closest to the year that the participant might retire, based on the participant’s current age and assuming a normal retirement age of 65.

 

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Distributions

Distributions are recorded when paid. There were no amounts allocated to accounts of participants who had elected to withdraw from the Plan but had not yet been paid at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Contributions

Contributions from the Plan participants and the matching contributions from the employer are recorded in the year in which the employee contributions are withheld from compensation.

Valuation of investments and income (loss) recognition

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Plan’s investments, including the investment in the Master Trust, are reported at fair value. The fair value of the Master Trust has been determined based on the fair value of the underlying investments of the Master Trust. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

A three-level hierarchy is used to disclose assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement.

The three levels are defined as follows:

 

•

Level 1 – Observable inputs based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

•

Level 2 – Observable inputs based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about what inputs a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The following describes the valuation methods and assumptions used by the Plan to estimate the fair values of the investments held by the Plan. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

9

Common Stock:

Nutrien common stock is valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Common Collective Trust:

As a practical expedient, the fair value of the trust is based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of units held by the Plan on the last business day of the year, as determined by the issuer of the trust based on the fair value of the underlying investments. This trust shares the common goal of growth and preservation of principal. It indirectly invests in a mix of US and international common stocks, and fixed income securities through holdings in various mutual funds. There are currently no redemption restrictions or unfunded commitments on these investments. Redemption is permitted daily with no restrictions or notice periods and there are no unfunded commitments.

Stable Value Fund — The Goldman Sachs Collective Trust (the “Collective Trust”) is based on fair value. As a practical expedient, the fair value of participation units in the stable value fund is based upon the NAV. Redemption is permitted daily with no restrictions or notice periods and there are no unfunded commitments.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments in the common collective trusts, mutual funds and pooled investment stable value fund are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately charged to an expense. Consequently, management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments.

Notes receivable from participants

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred.

Administrative expenses

The Plan’s expenses are paid by either the Plan or the Company, as provided by the Plan document. Expenses that are paid directly by the Company are excluded from these financial statements. Certain expenses incurred in connection with the general administration of the Plan that are paid by the Plan are recorded as deductions in the accompanying statement of changes in net asset available for benefits. In addition, certain investment related expenses are included in net appreciation (depreciation) of fair value of investments presented in the accompanying statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

 

3.	TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated June 30, 2015, that the Plan and related trust were designed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the IRC. The Plan has since been amended. However, the Company, Plan management and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC, and, therefore, believe the Plan is qualified and the related trust continues to be tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. However, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

 

4.	PLAN TERMINATION

Although the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it retains the right under the Plan to terminate it subject to the provisions of ERISA. The Plan provides that, upon termination, the net assets should be allocated among the Plan’s participants and beneficiaries in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Participants would become 100 percent vested in the employer contribution portion of their accounts.

 

10

5.	PLAN INTEREST IN MASTER TRUST

All of the Plan’s investments are held in the Master Trust, which was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and two other retirement plans sponsored by the Plan Sponsor and its affiliates. Each participating retirement plan has an interest in the Master Trust. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of Plan assets with the assets of the participating plans for investment and administrative purposes. Although assets of the plans are commingled in the Master Trust, the Trustee maintain supporting records for the purpose of allocating the net gain or loss of the investment account to the participating plans.

The net assets and investments of the Master Trust and the Plan’s share at December 31, 2024 and 2023, are summarized as follows:

 

		2024								2023
		Master Trust				Plan’s Share				Master Trust				Plan’s Share
Investments, at fair value			2,171,505,908				1,934,605,219				1,960,480,557				1,636,007,961

Total			2,204,834,798				1,963,769,361				1,996,110,817				1,664,994,858

The net investment income of the Master Trust for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, are summarized as follows:

 

		2024				2023
Net realized and unrealized appreciation in fair value of investments			210,964,618				236,912,071
Interest and dividends			7,480,197				6,891,378

In accordance with GAAP, investments measured at NAV as a practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented are intended to permit reconciliation to the amount presented in the statements of net assets available for benefits. Investment measured at NAV–Common Collective Trust balance includes immaterial investments in registered investment companies.

 

11

Change in fair values levels

The availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the end of the reporting period.

Plan management evaluated the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total net assets available for plan benefits. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no significant transfers in or out of levels 1, 2, or 3.

The classification of investment earnings reported in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits may differ from the classification of earnings on Form 5500 due to different reporting requirements on Form 5500.

 

7.	RELATED PARTY AND PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are units of common trust funds managed by the Trustee, as well as common shares of Nutrien. Related transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions. These investments are disclosed in the supplemental schedule of assets held. Fees paid by the Plan for investment management services to the Trustee were included as a reduction of the return earned on each fund. Included in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits are fees paid by the Plan for loan, recordkeeping and administrative expenses.

At December 31, 2024, the Plan held 1,123,115 shares of Nutrien common stock (2023 – 974,829) with a fair value of $50,259,390 (2023 – $54,912,093). During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Plan recorded dividend income of $2,103,397.

 

8.	RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including mutual funds, a pooled investment stable value fund, a common collective trust, short term funds and common stock. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2024, there was a significant concentration of participant-directed investments in three target retirement collective investment trust funds (33 percent) and one index collective investment (12 percent).

 

9.	RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO FORM 5500

The following is a reconciliation of the financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 to the Form 5500:

 

		2024				2023
Statements of net assets available for benefits:
Net assets available for benefits per the financial statements			1,963,769,361				1,664,994,858
Adjustment to the Form 5500			(3,343,121	)			(3,943,964	)

Net change in adjustment to the Form 5500			600,843
Net income and transfers per the Form 5500			299,375,346
