    *EBITDA is calculated as operating profit adjusted for depreciation and

    Highlights

    Interim dividend recommendation:

      * At its meeting on 24 May 2016, PhosAgro's Board of Directors recommended
        that shareholders approve a dividend of RUB 8,159 million, which represents
        RUB 63 per share (RUB 21 per Global Depositary Receipt). Shareholders will
        vote on the dividend recommendation at the Extraordinary General Meeting of
        Shareholders scheduled for 29 July 2016.

    Production, sales and logistics flexibility:

      * As a result of debottlenecking activities, the Company managed to increase
        production and sales volumes by 10% and 8%, respectively, year-on-year
        during Q1 2016. Revenue for the period grew by 12% year-on-year, supported
        by an 8% increase in sales volumes and depreciation of the RUB against the
        USD.
      * In January 2016 PhosAgro signed an 18-month loan agreement for RUB 3
        billion with Eximbank of Russia. This will enable the Company to strengthen
        flexibility of sales on export markets and to improve the turnover of
        PhosAgro's financing resources.

    Strategic developments:

      * In March 2016, PhosAgro launched another trading office: PhosAgro Baltics
        (Warsaw, Poland). This will strengthen the Company's position in its
        priority European market. New sales offices enable PhosAgro to better
        understand the needs of local customers, help it to react faster to market
        demand, facilitate promotion of the PhosAgro brand as the supplier of the
        best-quality phosphate-based fertilizers, and ensure that the Company
        offers local customers the right nutrient solutions.

    Operating profit for the period was RUB 22.7 billion (USD 304 million), up 1%
    from RUB 22.5 billion (USD 361 million) in Q1 2015. PhosAgro's EBITDA was RUB
    25.2 billion (USD 338 million) in Q1 2016, 3% higher year-on-year. The EBITDA
    margin decreased to 45% for Q1 2016, compared to 49% in Q1 2015.

    Net profit for Q1 2016 increased by 60% to RUB 22.6 billion (USD 303 million),
    compared to RUB 14.2 billion (USD 228 million) in Q1 2015. Basic and diluted
    earnings per share increased by 61% to RUB 175 (USD 2) for Q1 2016 from RUB 109
    (USD 2) in Q1 2015.

    The higher average USD exchange rate during Q1 2016 in comparison with Q1 2015
    (average USD foreign exchange rates for Q1 2016 and Q1 2015 were RUB 74.63 and
    RUB 62.19, respectively) had a net positive impact on PhosAgro's results in the
    reporting period, as prices for most of the Company's products are denominated
    in USD, while costs are primarily RUB-based. Appreciation of the rouble as of
    31 March 2016 (RUB 67.61 per USD) compared to 31 December 2015 (RUB 72.88 per
    USD) resulted in a foreign exchange gain of RUB 6,867 million (USD 92 million)
    in Q1 2016; in Q1 2015 the foreign exchange loss was RUB 3,777 million (USD 61
    million).

    Cash flow from operating activities increased by 14% year-on-year in Q1 2016,
    to RUB 18.5 billion (USD 248 million), compared to RUB 16.3 billion (USD 262
    million) in Q1 2015, driven by improved operating performance and the
    favourable effect of the rouble depreciation.

    Gross debt at 31 March 2016 amounted to RUB 122.9 billion (USD 1,818 million),
    compared to RUB 134.5 billion (USD 1,846 million) at 31 December 2015. Net debt
    at 31 March 2016 stood at RUB 96.6 billion (USD 1,429 million), down from 105.2
    billion (USD 1,443 million) at 31 December 2015, as a result of RUB 2 billion
    of net repayments and rouble appreciation vs USD as of 31 March 2016. Most of
    the Company's debt is denominated in US dollars as a natural hedge against
    primarily USD-denominated sales. The Company's net debt to EBITDA ratio
    decreased to 0.96 as of 31 March 2016, from 1.28 as of 31 December 2015.

    Commenting on Q1 2016 results, PhosAgro CEO Andrey Guryev said:

    "I am extremely pleased to announce another set of exceptionally strong
    results, with PhosAgro's Q1 2016 EBITDA margin reaching 45%, while net profit
    margin rose to a record high 40%. It is especially worthy of note that we were
    able to achieve this performance in a very challenging environment for the
    industry overall.

    "DAP/MAP prices bottomed out below USD 350/tonne in February, at or near levels
    seen during the 2009 global financial crisis. At the same time, we did not
    experience any dramatic decline in demand as in 2009.  Fertilizer price
    movements in Q1 2016 were mostly driven by global uncertainty related to
    overall pressure on oil and other commodity prices.  DAP prices have since
    stabilised, but are still below average production cash costs for the industry.
    As result, we saw significant reductions in production volumes during Q1 2016
    across numerous regions, most notably in China.  Chinese P2O5 exports have come
    down by around 40% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2016, which is very
    significant from the country that increased exports in 2015, and accounted for
    almost 40% of entire phosphate spot market.

    "On the demand side, we think positive trends will significantly outweigh the
    negative this year.

    "Our domestic market is showing exceptional growth, on the back of higher
    agricultural production supported by the food import substitution programme:
    our sales of phosphate-based fertilizers in Russia nearly doubled compared to
    Q1 2015.

    "We have of course also focused significant attention on other priority
    markets: Phosphate-based fertilizer sales to Europe, the CIS, and Latin America
    represented over 70% of our export sales. In Latin America, we saw an
    impressive increase in sales volumes of 49% year-on-year for Q1 2016.

    "Overall, trends are positive in the most important fertilizer-consuming
    regions: the DAP subsidy in India is supportive for higher demand and prices.
    Consumption of DAP in the first quarter increased by 50% compared to Q1 2015. 
    The biggest issue facing Brazilian farmers, expensive credit, has been
    resolved; interest rate subsidies are now in place, and we saw phosphate-based
    fertilizer imports increase by more than 30% year-on-year in Q1 2016.  Most of
    that growth was from complex fertilizers rather than MAP, but for PhosAgro it
    makes no difference how we sell our phosphates: we offer 30 different grades of
    phosphate-based fertilizers and can expand our portfolio further in respond to
    demand from farmers.  This is one of the benefits of our exceptionally pure
    phosphate rock and our flexible production lines.

    "Moving on to our operational achievements, we grew production volumes by 10%
    year-on-year on the back of our continuing modernisation and debottlenecking
    projects. This, combined with our successful marketing efforts in target
    regions and the weak rouble, has compensated for price weakness during the
    period. We had excellent free cash flow generation, were able to further reduce
    our debt levels, and the Board of Directors has recommend a dividend close to
    USD 1 per share.

    "Looking ahead to the rest of the year, I expect phosphate-based fertilizer
    consumption in 2016 to increase, with more upside risk coming from complex
    fertilizers than from concentrated phosphate-based grades, as we saw in the
    first quarter. The recent recovery in grain and oil-seed prices will provide
    fundamental support for a fertilizer price recovery.  We therefore are
    proceeding with all of our debottlenecking, optimisation, and marketing
    efforts.  PhosAgro is ready to adapt to demand in the changing environment,
    supplying our wide variety of high-quality fertilizer grades to farmers, while
    at the same time continuing to provide good returns to shareholders."

    Q1 2016 market conditions:

      * The average price of DAP was USD 370/tonne FOB Tampa in Q1 2016, down by
        12% from 4Q 2015 (USD 421/tonne), and by 23% from Q1 2015 (USD 483);
      * Weak oil and soft commodities prices were the main factors behind the
        downwards pressure on fertilizer prices.  Increased competition between the
        world's main fertilizer producers also affected the market, with seasonally
        slow demand from India and Latin America;
      * Lower prices led Chinese producers to curtail production and export
        volumes.  Chinese DAP/MAP exports in Q1 2016 declined by 37% year-on-year
        to 888 kt.  Overall Chinese export of phosphate-based fertilizers fell by
        40% year-on-year to 508 kt of P2O5;
      * The decline in Indian subsidy levels was small relative to the decrease in
        global phosphate-based fertilizer prices, leading to active import demand
        from the country in late-March and April 2016;
      * Brazil's programme to subsidise interest rates for farmers has been in
        place since the beginning of the year.  February and March saw a
        significant increase in import demand from Brazil, as well as from
        Argentina, where export duties for most agricultural products were lowered
        or removed early in the year.  Demand from these countries helped to
        stabilise global prices, with Brazilian demand for phosphate-based
        fertilizers (DAP/MAP/TSP/NP/NPK) in Q1 2016 amounting to 1,024 kt, up by
        34% year-on-year.  Argentina imported 278 kt of DAP/MAP during Q1 2016, an
        increase of 84% year-on-year;
      * Global urea prices were also under pressure in Q1 2016, due to seasonally
        low demand in India and Latin America, as well as heightened competition in
        western European and US markets due to factors like the launch of new US
        capacities and higher utilisation rates for north African capacities;
      * The average price of urea in Q1 2016 was USD 194/tonne FOB Baltic, which
        was 21% lower than 4Q 2015 (USD 246/tonne), and down by 33% from Q1 2015
        (USD 289/tonne).

    Phosphate-based products segment revenue grew by 15% year-on-year and totalled
    RUB 49,499 million (USD 663 million) in Q1 2016. PhosAgro increased production
    and sales volumes of phosphate-based fertilizers and MCP by 13% and 10%,
    respectively, year-on-year in Q1 2016. Sales volumes for phosphate rock and
    nepheline concentrate in Q1 2016 increased by 16% year-on-year.

    The growth in fertilizer sales volumes was primarily due to the Company's
    flexible production and sales models, which enabled it to substantially
    increase sales of MAP, DAP and NPK to the domestic market.

      * MAP/DAP fertilizers: Revenue from DAP/MAP sales was down 6% year-on-year,
        from RUB 21,113 million (USD 339 million) in Q1 2015 to RUB 19,862 million
        (USD 266 million) in Q1 2016, reflecting the overall 4% year-on-year growth
        in sales volumes and a 10% decrease in DAP/MAP average revenue per tonne
        denominated in RUB.
      * NPK fertilizers: Revenue from NPK sales was up by 11% year-on-year, from
        RUB 8,910 million (USD 143 million) in Q1 2015 to RUB 9,898 million (USD
        133 million) in Q1 2016, reflecting the overall 2% year-on-year growth in
        sales volumes and a 9% increase in NPK average revenue per tonne
        denominated in RUB.
      * Phosphate rock: revenue from phosphate rock sales rose by 55% year-on-year
        to RUB 7,858 million (USD 105 million) in Q1 2016. Revenue per tonne in RUB
        terms increased by 27% year-on-year. Sales volumes increased by 22%
        year-on-year as a result of increased supplies to the domestic market.

    The phosphate-based products segment's gross profit for Q1 2016 increased by
    11% year-on-year to RUB 28,934 million (USD 388 million), resulting in a gross
    profit margin of 58%, compared to a 61% margin in Q1 2015.

    Nitrogen segment revenue decreased by 9% year-on-year to RUB 6,422 million (USD
    86 million) in Q1 2016, from RUB 7,028 million (USD 113 million) in Q1 2015.
    Production volumes of nitrogen-based fertilizers remained the same, while sales
    volumes increased by 4% year-on-year.

    Export revenue from urea was 15% below year-on-year, from RUB 4,416 million
    (USD 71 million) in Q1 2015 to RUB 3,767 million (USD 50 million) in Q1 2016,
    due to a 18% year-on-year decrease in revenue per tonne, balanced by increase
    in sales volumes of 4% year-on-year. Total revenue from ammonium nitrate (AN)
    rose by 3% year-on-year, from RUB 2,507 million (USD 40 million) in Q1 2015, to
    RUB 2,585 million (USD 35 million) in Q1 2016, due to 5% year-on-year increase
    in sales volumes balanced by 2% year-on-year decrease in revenue per tonne.

    Nitrogen segment gross profit for Q1 2016 decreased by 22% year-on-year to RUB
    3,354 million (USD 45 million). The gross margin for Q1 2016 was 52%, compared
    with 61% in Q1 2015. This was primarily due to the decrease in prices: during
    Q1 2016, average revenue per tonne for the Company's nitrogen-based fertilizers
    decreased by 12%.

    PhosAgro's cost of sales increased by 20% year-on-year in Q1 2016, to RUB
    23,770 million (USD 319 million), while overall fertilizers sales volumes
    increased by 8% year-on-year. This cost of sales performance was primarily due
    to the following factors:

      * An increase of RUB 1,530 million (USD 21 million), or 35%, year-on-year in
        the cost of materials and services primarily due to a 29% increase in
        apatite-nepheline ore mining, 10% growth in fertilizer production volumes,
        and 4% year-on-year inflation.
      * A year-on-year increase in personnel costs of RUB 341 million (USD 5
        million), or 15%, primarily due to payroll indexation.
      * An increase in expenditure on sulphur and sulphuric acid of RUB 159 million
        (USD 2 million), or 7%, year-on-year from RUB 2,231 million (USD 36
        million) in Q1 2015 to RUB 2,390 million (USD 32 million) in Q1 2016. This
        was driven by a 14% year-on-year increase in volumes consumed due to higher
        production of phosphate-based fertilizers, mainly MAP/DAP and NPK, balanced
        by a 6% decline in sulphur and sulphuric acid purchased prices denominated
        in RUB.
      * A year-on-year decrease in expenditure on purchased ammonia of RUB 95
        million (USD 1 million), or 4%, from RUB 2,136 million (USD 34 million) in
        Q1 2015 to RUB 2,041 million (USD 27 million) in Q1 2016. This was due to a
        20% decline in RUB-denominated prices, balanced by higher purchase volumes,
        year-on-year. Growth in ammonia purchase volumes was due to increase in
        fertilizer production volumes.
      * A year-on-year increase in expenditure on potash of 20%, from RUB 1,519
        million (USD 24 million) in Q1 2015, to RUB 1,816 million (USD 24 million)
        in Q1 2016. This was mainly due to a 9% rise in RUB-denominated potash
        purchase prices and 10% growth in potash purchase volumes as a result of a
        7% increase in NPK production volumes with higher potash content.
      * A year-on-year increase in expenditure on natural gas of RUB 131 million,
        or 7%, to RUB 2,108 million (USD 28 million) in Q1 2016. This was due to
        growth in RUB-denominated natural gas purchase prices by 7%.
      * A year-on-year increase in expenditure on electricity of RUB 125 million,
        or 13%, to RUB 1,102 million (USD 15 million) in Q1 2016. This was due to
        growth in RUB-denominated electricity purchase prices by 11% year-on-year.
      * A decrease in expenditure on fuel of 2%, from RUB 641 million (USD 10
        million) in Q1 2015 to RUB 626 million (USD 9 million) in Q1 2016. This was
        mainly driven by an 8% increase in heating oil consumption balanced by a
        10% decline in overall fuel purchase prices denominated in RUB. Heating oil
        is primarily used for drying of phosphate rock and nepheline concentrate,
        for which production volumes grew by 6% and 8% year-on-year, respectively.

    Administrative expenses rose by 21% year-on-year to RUB 2,903 million (USD 39
    million) in Q1 2016, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs of RUB 347
    million (USD 5 million), or 26%, year-on-year. The increase was mainly due to
    the indexation of salaries.

    Selling expenses rose by 16% year-on-year, from RUB 4,920 million (USD 79
    million) in Q1 2015 to RUB 5,722 million (USD 77 million) in Q1 2016. This was
    primarily due to the following changes:

      * Russian Railways infrastructure tariff and operators' fees increased by 37%
        from RUB 1,530 million (USD 25 million) in Q1 2015 to RUB 2,093 million
        (USD 28 million) in Q1 2016. This was mainly due to an increase in railway
        tariffs in Q1 2016 by 9% as well as a 31% increase in shipments to the
        domestic market, where the basic delivery term is CPT.
      * Growth of 20% in materials and services from RUB 866 million (USD 14
        million) in Q1 2015, to RUB 1,039 million (USD 14 million) in Q1 2016. This
        was mainly driven by an increase in multimode shipment volumes on the
        export market.

    After the commissioning of Smart Bulk Terminal in June 2015, the Company
    transferred its shipping activity from Baltic ports to Ust-Luga. This helped
    the Company to achieve sustainable savings in freight, port and stevedoring
    expenses, which decreased by 2%, from RUB 2,364 million (USD 38 million) in Q1
    2015 to RUB 2,318 million (USD 31) in Q1 2016.

    PhosAgro's foreign exchange gain in Q1 2016 was RUB 6,867 million (USD 92
    million), versus a foreign exchange loss of RUB 3,777 million (USD 61 million)
    in Q1 2015. This was primarily the result of the devaluation of USD-denominated
    debt due to the rouble's 7% appreciation against the US dollar during Q1 2016
    (from RUB 72.8827 at 31/12/2015 to RUB 67.6076 at 31/03/2016), in comparison
    with a 4% rouble depreciation against the US dollar during Q1 2015 (from RUB
    56.2584 as of 31/12/2014 to RUB 58.4643 as of 31/03/2015).

    Cash spent on capex in Q1 2016 amounted to RUB 8,587 million (USD 115 million),
    an increase of 33% in comparison with RUB 6,477 million (USD 104 million) in Q1
    2015. PhosAgro's capital expenditure, which consists of additions to property,
    plant and equipment, amounted to RUB 7,659 million (USD 103 million) for Q1
    2016, compared to RUB 5,054 million (USD 81 million) in Q1 2015. Capital
    expenditure focused on construction of the new 760 ths tonnes/year ammonia
    plant and the new 500 ths tonnes/year urea plant at PhosAgro-Cherepovets.

    Outlook

    Market outlook

      * June marks the start of seasonal demand from key markets in Asia (India,
        Pakistan) and Latin America (Brazil, Argentina), with the highest levels of
        activity taking place from June to September; this is expected to have a
        stabilising effect on the market;
      * At the same time, the decline in prices during Q1 2016 has made fertilizers
        more accessible to consumers, with the ratio of fertilizer prices to
        agricultural products prices currently more favourable for fertilizers,
        meaning that stable demand can be expected from all fertilizer-consuming
        regions;
      * In addition, recent increases in soft commodities prices, especially corn
        and soy, may stimulate farmers to increase crop acreage, as well higher
        fertilizer application volumes;
      * On the supply side, China clearly remains a key player for global markets. 
        However, following the decline in prices, Chinese export this year is
        likely to decrease and loss-making capacities are expected to remain shut;
      * Reduced Chinese export is more likely to be compensated by increase of
        export from OCP with the launch in Morocco of a new 1 million tonne/year
        DAP/MAP/NPK capacity at the end of 2015, and another 1.0 million tonnes due
        to come online in mid-2016. Otherwise, high levels of competition may
        continue to hold back fertilizer price growth.

    Company:

      * The rouble depreciation, which accelerated at the end of 2015, continued in
        Q1 2016, and there is limited potential for significant appreciation unless
        oil prices increase dramatically.
      * As a result of marketing efforts at new sales offices, the Company expects
        to further increase sales in its target regions, and intends to invest
        further into expanding the number of NPK and other fertilizer grades it
        produces.
      * All major development projects are on track, including the new ammonia
        plant designed to increase cost efficiency and support further expansion of
        PhosAgro's complex fertilizer production capacity.
