PotashCorp’s fourth quarter results

It was the highest quarterly total at Potash Corp for 2010.

The company had net income of $482 million in the fourth quarter, or $1.61 per share.

That's more than double the 79 cent per share earned in the same period in 2009.

Performance was impacted by takeover response costs.

Potash Corp became the target of a hostile takeover offer by BHP Billiton last summer.
