Compass Minerals Reports Final Fiscal 2024 Third-Quarter Results
Compass Minerals (NYSE: CMP) has released its final fiscal 2024 third-quarter results. The company filed amended financial statements (Form 10-K/A and Form 10-Q/A) on October 29, 2024, correcting previous reports from June 2023 through March 2024. The final Q3 2024 results align with preliminary results disclosed on September 17, 2024. Due to ongoing work on 2024 financial results and 2025 budget preparation, the company has canceled its Q3 2024 earnings call but plans to resume regular quarterly calls starting with Q4 2024 results.

L'azienda ha presentato documenti finanziari modificati (Modulo 10-K/A e Modulo 10-Q/A) il 29 ottobre 2024, correggendo i rapporti precedenti da giugno 2023 a marzo 2024. I risultati finali del terzo trimestre 2024 sono in linea con i risultati preliminari resi noti il 17 settembre 2024. A causa del lavoro in corso sui risultati finanziari del 2024 e sulla preparazione del budget per il 2025, l'azienda ha annullato la conference call sugli utili del terzo trimestre 2024, ma prevede di riprendere le chiamate trimestrali regolari a partire dai risultati del quarto trimestre 2024.

- Cancellation of Q3 2024 earnings call indicates potential communication limitations with investors
Insights
The filing of Form 10-K/A and 10-Q/A for multiple periods indicates significant accounting restatements, which raises concerns about internal controls and financial reporting accuracy. The absence of a quarterly earnings call and detailed financial figures in this release is particularly concerning, as it limits transparency and investor ability to assess company performance. The delay in finalizing 2024 results and 2025 budget suggests potential operational challenges or complexities that warrant investor attention.
This situation could impact investor confidence and potentially affect the company's cost of capital. The postponement of the earnings call until Q4 2024 results creates an information vacuum that may lead to increased market uncertainty. For a company with a relatively small market cap of
Unless otherwise noted, it should be assumed that time periods referenced below are on a fiscal-year basis.
REPORTING UPDATE
On Oct. 29, 2024, Compass Minerals filed a Form 10-K/A and a Form 10-Q/A correcting financial statements covering (i) unaudited financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, (ii) audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended Sept. 30, 2023, (iii) unaudited financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended Dec. 31, 2023, and (iv) unaudited financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024. With the completion of those restatements, the company has filed its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024.
The final results for the third quarter of 2024 are consistent in all material respects with the preliminary results disclosed on Sept. 17, 2024. A complete set of press release financial highlights follows for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, including comparative quarterly and year-to-date amounts.
The company is currently in the process of finalizing financial results for 2024 and completing its budget for 2025. As a result of this timing, management believes that it would be unable to comment on most items of current interest to the investment community and therefore the company will forego its conference call to discuss the results for the third quarter of 2024. The company expects to resume the regular cadence of quarterly earnings calls beginning with the reporting of results for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements and Other Disclaimers
This press release may contain forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements about timing of future earnings calls. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. The company uses words such as “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “likely,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “project,” “estimate” and similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events to identify forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. These statements are based on the company’s current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially. The differences could be caused by a number of factors, including without limitation (i) weather conditions, (ii) inflation, the cost and availability of transportation for the distribution of the company’s products and foreign exchange rates, (iii) pressure on prices and impact from competitive products, (iv) any inability by the company to successfully implement its strategic priorities or its cost-saving or enterprise optimization initiatives, and (v) the risk that the company may not realize the expected financial or other benefits from its ownership of Fortress North America. For further information on these and other risks and uncertainties that may affect the company’s business, see the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the company’s Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the period ended Sept. 30, 2023, its Amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended Dec. 31, 2023 and Mar. 31, 2024, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 filed with the SEC, as well as the company's other SEC filings. The company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect future events or developments, except as required by law. Because it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, this list cannot be considered a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to using
Management uses EBITDA, EBITDA adjusted for items which management believes are not indicative of the company’s ongoing operating performance (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and EBITDA margin to evaluate the operating performance of the company’s core business operations because its resource allocation, financing methods and cost of capital, and income tax positions are managed at a corporate level, apart from the activities of the operating segments, and the operating facilities are located in different taxing jurisdictions, which can cause considerable variation in net earnings. Management also uses adjusted operating earnings, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted net earnings per diluted share, which eliminate the impact of certain items that management does not consider indicative of underlying operating performance. The presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide management and investors with additional information that is helpful when evaluating underlying performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization, each of which are an essential element of the company’s cost structure and cannot be eliminated. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin exclude certain cash and non-cash items, including stock-based compensation, impairment charges and certain restructuring charges. Consequently, any measure that excludes these elements has material limitations. The non-GAAP financial measures used by management should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, operating earnings, cash flows or other financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of overall profitability or liquidity. These measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. The calculation of non-GAAP financial measures as used by management is set forth in the following tables. All margin numbers are defined as the relevant measure divided by sales. The company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP, as the company is unable to estimate significant non-recurring, unusual items and/or distinct non-core initiatives without unreasonable effort. The amounts and timing of these items are uncertain and could be material to the company’s results.
Adjusted operating earnings, adjusted operating earnings margin, adjusted net earnings (loss), and adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share are presented as supplemental measures of the company’s performance. Management believes these measures provide management and investors with additional information that is helpful when evaluating underlying performance and comparing results on a year-over-year normalized basis. These measures eliminate the impact of certain items that management does not consider indicative of underlying operating performance. These adjustments are itemized below. Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share is adjusted net earnings (loss) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. You are encouraged to evaluate the adjustments itemized above and the reasons management considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating these measures you should be aware that in the future the company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments presented below.
