The agency noted, among other things, that PhosAgro’s Baa3 rating reflects the Company’s significant global market presence and focus on premium-priced value-added complex fertilizers; strong margins through the cycle, underpinned by its high-quality mining resources, self-sufficiency in key raw materials, and access to low-cost sulphur and natural gas; and balanced financial policy and public commitment to an investment-grade rating mitigating historically sizeable dividend payouts, which will remain elevated under its new dividend policy.

– Standard & Poor’s
