Instead, they are based only on CHS current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of CHS businesses, financial condition and results of operations, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions.

Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward- looking statements are discussed or identified in CHS filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the "Risk Factors" discussion in Item 1A of CHS Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024.

In 2014, 41 billion bushels of corn with 35% supplied by U.S.. Today, 49 billion bushels, but only 31% supplied by U.S. • Wheat and soybeans have also declined in U.S. as supplier. • Given these increases in other markets, even more important to be a strong global agribusiness. 8© 2025 CHS Inc.

It’s a pleasure to be with all of you today and share the financial report for CHS for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025 through May 31, 2025. • I’ll start with a brief comment on revenues. Our revenues for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2025 are $26.9 billion, down about 11% from the same period in fiscal year 2024 largely due to reduced commodity prices and global market conditions. • For the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, we reported net income of $401.2 million. • While this represents a significant year-over-year decline, it is still a solid performance for CHS. • Despite challenging ag and energy commodity cycles, we were able to achieve these results because of the diversification of our business, operating with excellence and, most importantly, the continued outstanding collaboration with you, our owners. 13© 2025 CHS Inc.

• Moving to our segment results, Energy includes our refined fuels, propane, lubricants and transportation businesses. This segment reported a pretax loss of $114 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, versus a prior year pretax profit of $416 million for the same period, a decrease of $530 million year over year. • The decrease in Energy earnings was mostly driven by global market conditions. Refining margins have been negatively impacted by increased industry capacity utilization rates bringing additional refined fuel supply to the market, plus the market has experienced less favorable pricing of the Canadian crude oil that we process at our Laurel, Montana, refinery. Renewable energy credits (RINS) have been more costly to purchase year over year. • In addition, we conducted planned major maintenance at our McPherson, Kansas, refinery during the third quarter of this year. This was a full plant shutdown and, as expected, led to reduced refinery production volumes. We continued to serve our customers and meet demand during the downtime by augmenting supply with purchases of fuel from third parties. However, margins were lower than they would have been if it was our own production. This drove reduced refined fuels earnings, despite higher sales volumes. • Margins for propane were also lower compared with the same period in the previous fiscal year, primarily due to weaker demand in the fall season. • Our Ag segment includes wholesale agronomy, global grain and processing and our ag retail business. • The Ag segment made a pretax profit of $272 million versus $335 million for the same period in fiscal year 2024, a decrease of $63 million year over year. • Ag segment performance was impacted by a variety of factors, including: © 2025 CHS Inc.

• Decreased margins in oilseed processing due to higher global supply of soybean and canola meal and oil, • Decreased margins in our grain and oilseed product category, primarily the result of unfavorable market conditions in Europe and South America, and • Increased margins for wholesale and retail agronomy products due to favorable market conditions. • Our Nitrogen Production segment represents our investment in CF Nitrogen. For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, we reported a pretax profit of $100 million versus $126 million for the same period in fiscal year 2024. The negative year-over-year variance is attributed to lower equity income from CF Nitrogen due to higher natural gas costs, which was partially offset by more favorable market conditions for urea. • Our Corporate and Other category includes CHS Hedging, our full-service commodity brokerage business, and CHS Capital, which provides financing to members. This category also includes our joint venture investments in Ventura Foods, which produces oil-based food products, and in Ardent Mills, a leading wheat milling and ingredient supplier. • In total, the Corporate and Other segment had year-to-date pretax profit of $174 million, which is a positive change of $39 million compared to the previous year. The increase in earnings was primarily due to higher equity earnings from Ventura Foods as a result of a gain on the sale of a business. • Our income tax expense was $32 million for the first nine months, up from $21 million for the same period in fiscal year 2024. The higher tax expense was due to a change in state tax laws, as well as research and development tax credits that lowered our expense in the prior year and didn’t reoccur in the current year. • Overall, our year-to-date financial performance was solid, with net income of $401 million for the first three quarters of fiscal © 2025 CHS Inc.

year 2025. The CHS Board of Directors reviewed and approved these financial results for filing with the SEC at the July Board meeting. The Board will discuss patronage, redemption and equity management decisions at its September meeting. • As we wrap up the fourth quarter and our fiscal year, we continue to operate in an environment of reduced margins for energy and certain agricultural commodities. However, we are confident in the strength of our balance sheet, along with our current cash balances and our lines of credit. We are keeping a close eye on cost control and efficiency and evaluating the strategic value of our assets, as we do on a regular basis, while remaining focused on providing you with exceptional customer service. • In closing the financial update, I want to thank each of you for your partnership, your tremendous collaboration and the cooperative spirit that unites us. It’s a privilege to serve your needs, and we are grateful for the opportunity to continue creating connections to empower agriculture. • Now I'd like to turn it over to our Board members to talk about Board initiatives. © 2025 CHS Inc.
