Continuing to improve in all Environmental, Health and Safety matters – Safety is Job #1 Petroleum Segment had no recordable incidents in 1Q 2022, representing a 100% reduction from 1.7 in 1Q 2021. Fertilizer segment had no process safety incidents or recordable incidents and achieved a 50% reduction in environmental events for 1Q 2022 compared to1Q 2021. Focus on EH&S Performance Preserve Cash Flow Focusing capital spending on projects that are critical to safe and reliable operations Deferring the majority of our growth capital spending, with the exception of renewables projects. Completed Wynnewood turnaround in early April and plan to complete turnarounds at the Coffeyville and East Dubuque fertilizer facilities in the Summer of 2022.Plan to complete a small turnaround at the Coffeyville Refinery in the Spring of 2023. Maintain Balance Sheet and Liquidity Positioning to take advantage of market recovery and potential near-term opportunities Ended 1Q 2022 with total liquidity position of $755 million (1) excluding CVR Partners. Increased liquidity position by 30% from year end 2021. Focus on Crude Oil Quality and Differentials Reducing the carbon footprint of our operations and minimizing our exposure to Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) through production of renewable biofuels Wynnewood renewable diesel unit (RDU) completed in April 2022 and we are in the process of ramping up production. Construction of Wynnewood pre-treatment unit (PTU) approved by the Board and expected to be completed by 2Q 2023. Engineering design underway on potential Coffeyville RDU project. Pursuing 45Q tax credits for carbon capture and sequestration activities at Coffeyville fertilizer facility. Grow our Renewables Businesses Minimizing lost profit opportunities and improving capture rates Total 1Q 2022 lost profit opportunities (LPO) of $29mm down from $53mm in 1Q 2021. $9mm of the 1Q22 LPO and $43mm of the 1Q 2021 LPO was due to external causes, primarily as a result of a third-party outage at Coffeyville fertilizer facility for 2022 and primarily Winter Storm Uri for 2021. Minimize Lost Opportunities Strategic Priorities (1) Total liquidity as of March 31, 2022 comprised of $539 million of cash and availability under the ABL of $371 million, le ss cash included in the borrowing base of $155 million 4 Leveraging our strategic location and proprietary gathering system to deliver high value neat crude oils to our refineries Gathering volumes in 1Q 2022 averaged approx. 114,000 bpd with current rates at approx. 127,000 bpd . Working to further increase volumes and reduce purchases of Cushing WTI. Transportation and product yield advantages from gathered crude oils typically $ 0.50 - $1.00 per bbl relative to Cushing WTI.
Capital Allocation Strategy Non-Discretionary Asset Continuity Safety, reliability and environmental compliance are core to CVR’s management philosophy • Approximately $100MM in annual sustaining and regulatory capex, allocated to assets through a continuous assessment process. • Run-rate annual refining turnaround investment of $60MM over a four-year cycle to maximize asset utilization and reduce downtime exposure. Strategically invest in asset development and businesses that diversify and enhance core assets • 30% target IRR for traditional refining organic projects. • 15% target IRR for renewables-focused investments as these assets typically garner higher multiples. • Evaluate merger and acquisition activity as opportunities arise that diversify market exposure or offer significant synergy. Discretionary Investment Financial Discipline & Investor Returns Maintain an attractive investment profile by focusing on free cash flow generation for cash returns to stockholders • Target an above average cash return yield for stockholders and unitholders. • Repurchase stock/units when value added. • Divest non-core or non-revenue generating assets. • Ensure adequate liquidity to operate the business while returning or investing excess cash. • Maintain debt levels and capital structure profile in line with or exceeding peer group. • Disciplined approach to managing corporate overhead and SG&A costs. ❖ CVR Energy declared a 1Q 2022 dividend of $0.40 per share. On an annualized basis this represents the highest dividend yield among the independent refiners. Key Priorities • Create long-term value through safe, reliable operations and continuously optimizing core refining, renewables, fertilizer and associated logistics assets; • Invest in high return projects that are complimentary to existing assets, improve feedstock supply and product placement; • Provide above average cash returns to investors through dividends/distributions and buybacks when value added; and, • Protect the balance sheet by maintaining appropriate liquidity, reducing cost of capital and optimizing capital structure. 5

FERTILIZER SEGMENT
19 Stable Trends in Fertilizer Supply & Demand Source: USDA, Fertecon US Nitrogen SupplyCorn Stocks to Use ➢ Fertilizers typically represent approximately 15% of farmers’ cost structure and significantly improve yields. ➢ USDA projecting stocks to use ratio for 2021/2022 at approximately 10%, one of the lowest levels since 2014. ➢ Major global nitrogen capacity build cycle largely complete in 2017/2018, and additional tons have been absorbed by the market. ➢ Strong demand for fall ammonia application, loss of US nitrogen production in 2021 and reduced availability of global nitrogen supply have all helped further tighten supply. Higher demand driven by lower ending corn stocks and increased corn prices combined with reduced fertilizer supply have all contributed to higher product pricing for nitrogen fertilizer.
➢ Hurricane activity caused the shutdown of several US production facilities for several weeks, further tightening supply. ➢ Favorable dry fall weather conditions led to an early corn harvest and extended timeframe for ammonia application. ➢ European production curtailments due to spike in natural gas prices along with China and Russia export restrictions further tightened the global supply of fertilizers. ➢ Corn prices strengthened further with Russia/Ukraine conflict, with futures prices for May 2022 over $7/bu and December 2022 over $6/bu. ➢ Corn prices continued to increase from the winter, reaching over $7/bu driven by strong Chinese and domestic ethanol demand, expectations for low US carryout and poor South American crop conditions ➢ Urea prices rallied across the globe and UAN prices followed suit, going from selling at a discount to urea on a nitrogen-equivalent basis for most of 2020 to selling at a premium. ➢ US inventories of nitrogen fertilizers were tight following the shut down of numerous fertilizer production facilities after Winter Storm Uri in February ➢ June NOLA prices for urea at $390-$400/ton and UAN at $290-$300/ton. 2 0 2 1 Spring Recent Domestic Nitrogen Fertilizer Market Conditions Fall / Winter Summer ➢ NOLA UAN fill price $280 - $285/ton for Q3 shipment. ➢ Producer turnarounds at multiple plants in the Midwest, as many 2020 turnarounds were delayed to this summer due to COVID-19. ➢ Commodity prices remained strong, with corn prices ranging from $5.00 - $5.50/bu and wheat $6.75 - $7.00/bu. 20 2 0 2 2 Spring ➢ Persistent high natural gas prices in Europe and export restrictions in China and Russia continue to limit global supply of nitrogen fertilizers. ➢ Cold and wet weather in the US has led to a slower than normal start to corn planting – this could lead to increased usage of UAN and urea if enough ammonia is not able to be applied . ➢ Corn and wheat prices remain strong with concerns over global grain supplies amid the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict and drought conditions in the US wheatbelt. Futures prices for corn over $7/bu through the end of 2022 and wheat for July 2022 is over $12/bu.
Strong Demand for Corn in the U.S. ➢ Corn has a variety of uses and applications, including feed grains, ethanol for fuel and food, seed and industrial (FSI). ➢ Feed grains ▪ ~96% of domestic feed grains are supplied by corn. ▪ Consumes ~39% of annual corn crop.(1) ➢ Ethanol ▪ Consumes ~37% of annual corn crop.(1) ▪ Corn demand for 2021 was impacted by the loss of gasoline and ethanol demand as a result of COVID-19. ▪ Increased export volumes are more than offsetting temporary demand loss from ethanol. ➢ Corn production typically driven more by yield than acres planted. ➢ Nitrogen fertilizer is generally low on the cost curve for farmers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 26 Adjusted EBITDA –EBITDA adjusted for certain significant non-cash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our on-going operations or that may obscure our underlying results and trends. Direct Operating Expenses per Throughput Barrel represents direct operating expenses for the Company’s Petroleum segment divided by total throughput barrels during 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. 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 purchased in prior periods and lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, if necessary. 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 it holds 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 Margin divided by the total throughput barrels during the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in theperiod.
