Nutrien says the lower earnings are mainly due to lower selling prices, weaker offshore potash sales volumes, and lower retail gross margin for crop nutrients and crop protection products.

It says net earnings were also hit by non-cash impairments of $465 million and $233 million.

The company revised its full-year guidance lower to reflect various pressures including lower global potash prices.
