Sioux City, Iowa (February 10, 2009)—Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNCLP) (NYSE: TNH) today
reported net income of $104.4 million, $65.7 million of which is allocable to Common Units ($3.55
per Common Unit), on revenues of $225.2 million for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2008. This
compares with net income of $67.8 million, $66.4 million of which is allocable to Common Units
($3.59 per Common Unit) on revenues of $197.6 million for the 2007 fourth quarter. For 2008, TNCLP
reported net income of $422.4 million, $275.7 million of which is allocable to Common Units ($14.90

TNCLP also announced a cash distribution for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2008, of $2.97 per common
limited partnership unit payable Feb. 27, 2009, to holders of record as of Feb. 17, 2009. Cash
distributions depend on TNCLP’s earnings, which can be affected by nitrogen selling prices, natural
gas costs, seasonal demand factors, production levels and weather, cash requirements for working
capital needs, and capital expenditures. Cash distributions per limited partnership unit also vary
based on increasing amounts allocable to the General Partner when cumulative distributions exceed
targeted levels. Those targeted levels were attained in the 2008 first quarter.

| • | Ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) selling prices increased by 78 and 46 percent, respectively. |
| • | Ammonia and UAN sales volumes decreased by 37 and 20 percent, respectively. |

spot prices by approximately 25 percent compared to year-end 2007 spot prices. Due to the late
fourth quarter pricing pressures, TNCLP recorded $5.8 million on fourth quarter charges related to
derivative and inventory valuation.
