CF FERTILISERS UK LIMITED
Company number 03455690 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
CF Fertilisers UK Limited remains a dominant force in the UK nitrogen market, backed by the financial and operational scale of its US parent, CF Industries Holdings, Inc. However, FY2025 revealed significant margin compression, with operating profit falling by 65% despite a 5% revenue increase, driven by the strategic shift to an ammonia importation model and an £8.3m loss on the disposal of its Ince site. While the company's robust cash position and successful de-risking of its pension liabilities provide long-term stability, its competitive edge is increasingly reliant on navigating global ammonia price volatility rather than domestic production integration.
