Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements (“FLS”) which are protected as FLS under the PSLRA, and which are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events. The assumptions and estimates underlying FLS are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business and economic uncertainties and competitive risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective information. Accordingly, there can be no assurance CVR Energy, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “CVI”, “CVR Energy”, “we”, “us” or the Company”) will achieve the future results we expect or that actual results will not differ materially from expectations. Statements concerning current estimates, expectations and projections about future results, performance, prospects, opportunities, plans, actions and events and other statements, concerns, or matters that are not historical facts are FLS and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future: crude oil capacities; strategic value of our locations; crude oil, shale oil and condensate production, quality and pricing (including price advantages) and our access thereto (including cost of such access) via our logistics assets, pipelines or otherwise; fertilizer segment feedstock costs, marketing agreements and utilization rates; impacts of COVID-19 on the Company and the economy including volatility in commodity prices; strategic initiatives including our ability to operate safely, control costs and maintain our balance sheet and liquidity; Environmental, Health & Safety improvements; reduction in RINs exposure by biodiesel blending, development of wholesale or retail businesses or otherwise; renewable diesel projects; lost opportunities and capture rates; cash flow preservation including reductions in capital spending by 30% or at all or in operating expenses and SG&A by $50M or at all; market recovery and dislocation; potential near-term opportunities including consolidation; pipeline reversals; gathering volumes and shut-ins; pipeline space; complexity; optionality and flexibility of our crude oil sourcing and/or marketing network; blending and RIN generation; product mix; conversion and distillate yields; cost of operations; throughput and production; the macro environment; crack spreads (including improvement thereof) crude oil differentials (including our exposure thereto) and product demand recovery; dividend yield, cash return (and consistency thereof) and net leverage as compared to peers or otherwise; capital and turnaround expenses, timing and activities for both refining and fertilizer segments; the crude optionality and Isom projects including deferral thereof; HF mitigation projects including the costs, timing, returns, benefits and impacts thereof; global and domestic nitrogen demand and consumption; gasoline and ethanol demand destruction including impact on corn demand and fertilizer consumption; imports; EU tariffs; population growth; amount of arable farmland; biofuels consumption; diet evolution; product pricing and capacities; logistics optionality; rail access and delivery points; sustainability of production; demand growth and supply/demand imbalance; corn demand, stocks, uses, pricing, consumption, production, planting and yield; continued safe and reliable operations; and other matters. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on FLS (including forecasts and projections regarding our future performance) because actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to those set forth under “Risk Factors” in the Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission by CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVI”) or CVR Partners, LP (“UAN”). These FLS are made only as of the date hereof. Neither CVI nor UAN assume any obligation to, and they expressly disclaim any obligation to, update or revise any FLS, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Certain financial information in this presentation (including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA) are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and use of such terms varies from others in the same industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to income from continuing operations, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for results as reported under GAAP. This presentation includes a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. 2

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Available Cash for Distribution - EBITDA reduced for cash reserves established by the board of directors of our general partner for (i) debt service, (ii) maintenance capital expenditures, and, to the extent applicable, (iii) reserves for future operating or capital needs that the board of directors of our general partner deems necessary or appropriate, if any, in its sole discretion. Available cash for distribution may be increased by the release of previously established cash reserves, if any, and other excess cash, at the discretion of the board of directors of our general partner. Direct Operating Expenses per Throughput Barrel represents direct operating expenses for the Company’s Petroleum segment divided by total throughput barrels for the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense. Net Debt and Finance Lease Obligations Exclusive of Nitrogen Fertilizer - Net debt is total debt and finance lease obligations reduced for cash and cash equivalents. Refining Margin represents the difference between the Company’s Petroleum segment net sales and cost of materials and other. Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impact represents Refining Margin adjusted to exclude the impact of current period market price and volume fluctuations on crude oil and refined product inventories recognized in prior periods. The Company records its commodity inventories on the first-in-first-out basis. As a result, significant current period fluctuations in market prices and the volumes we hold in inventory can have favorable or unfavorable impacts on its refining margins as compared to similar metrics used by other publicly-traded companies in the refining industry. Refining Margin and Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impact, per Throughput Barrel represents Refining divided by the total throughput barrels during the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period. Total Debt and Net Debt and Finance Lease Obligations to EBITDA Exclusive of Nitrogen Fertilizer - Total debt and net debt and finance lease obligations is calculated as the consolidated debt and net debt and finance lease obligations less the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment debt and net debt and finance lease obligations as of the most recent period ended divided by EBITDA exclusive of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment for the most recent twelve-month period.
