Denver, CO, May 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intrepid Potash, Inc. ("Intrepid", the "Company", "we", "us", "our") (NYSE:IPI) today reported its results for the first quarter of 2023.
Key Highlights for First Quarter 2023
Financial & Operational
- Total sales of
$86.9 million , which compares to$104.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, as Potash and Trio® average net realized sales prices(1) decreased to$485 and$344 per ton, respectively. - Net income of
$4.5 million (or$0.35 per diluted share), which compares to$31.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 (or$2.31 per diluted share). - Gross margin of
$16.4 million , which compares to$47.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. - Cash flow from operations of
$8.4 million , which compares to$34.1 million in the first quarter of 2022. - Adjusted EBITDA(1) of
$16.4 million , which compares to$50.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. - Potash and Trio® sales volumes of 89 thousand and 65 thousand tons, respectively, which compares to prior-year respective figures of 69 thousand and 71 thousand, respectively.
Liquidity
- As of April 28, 2023, Intrepid had approximately
$9.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and$150 million available under its revolving credit facility, for total liquidity of approximately$159.5 million . - Intrepid maintains an investment account of short-and-long-term fixed income securities that had a balance of approximately
$7.8 million as of April 28, 2023.
Capital Expenditures
- Incurred capital expenditures of
$21.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 and expect full-year 2023 capital expenditures to be in the range of$60 t o$75 million . - We have two primary goals for our 2023 capital expenditures. First, continue to invest in our potash and Trio® assets to improve our production and unit economics. Second, invest in our sand project at Intrepid South.
East Facility in Carlsbad, New Mexico
- The first of the two new continuous miners at our East plant has been delivered and is expected to improve operating efficiencies in the coming months. The second new miner is scheduled for July delivery and should be operational by the middle of the third quarter.
HB Facility in Carlsbad, New Mexico
- For Phase 1 - the new injection pipeline - installation continues to make progress despite permitting delays. We expect the pipeline to be in place by the end of the second quarter with improved brine injection rates starting in the second half of 2023. For Phase 2 - the in-line pigging system - which is designed to clean the pipeline and prevent scaling, is still being permitted, with construction likely beginning by the end of the year. The goal of this system is to help ensure that we maintain consistent flow rates in our injection pipeline.
- To target high-grade brine in the near-term, we are undertaking a new, lower-cost capital project to extract a pool of already-known, high-grade brine from the HB Eddy shaft. Permitting and construction are both underway with operations expected to commence in Q4/23.
- We still plan to drill a replacement extraction well designed to have a long-term operational life to target brine from the HB mine system, although this project may get pushed to 2024 due to the HB Eddy shaft project.
Solar Solution Potash Mine in Moab, Utah
- Successfully drilled a new three-lateral potash cavern in Potash Bed 9, which is expected to be online in the second quarter. During the drilling process, we were able to stay in the target interval for longer than any of our previously drilled horizontal caverns, and initial measurements show good availability of high-grade potash.
- After we completed the drilling of the new potash cavern, we moved the rig to drill into the original mine workings in Potash Bed 5 to target low spots ("sumps") that we believe contain high-grade brine pools. This brine was previously accessed by a vertical well, but by now using horizontal laterals, we can more effectively target the resource. We have a goal for July 2023 completion, which will allow us to pump this brine into our solar ponds for the latter part of the 2023 evaporation season.
Sand Resources at Intrepid South
- We continue to work through the permitting process for our sand project and expect construction to begin by the end of 2023. We have begun engaging with potential customers for commercial agreements, and due to the strategic location of our sand resource in the Delaware basin in New Mexico, we have seen notably strong interest.

Bob Jornayvaz, Intrepid's Executive Chairman and CEO commented:
"Intrepid's first quarter of 2023 saw a meaningful pickup in demand for our key products, with potash and Trio® sales volumes totaling 89 thousand and 65 thousand tons, respectively. While our first quarter profitability was impacted by lower pricing compared to last year, potash pricing still remains elevated compared to recent historical levels, with U.S. corn belt potash trading at approximately
For 2023, our key focus is successful execution of our capital projects and we are encouraged by the progress so far. For our potash projects, we feel that we have the right personnel in place to help ensure we'll deliver improved brine quality and production. Due to the solar evaporation process at our potash facilities, it will take multiple evaporation seasons until we see the full benefit from the HB pipeline and Moab potash cavern projects, but we are confident in the long-term benefit these projects will have on our production. Other projects, specifically the HB Eddy Shaft, the horizontal drilling into sumps in Moab, and the replacement extraction well at HB, are expected to have a more immediate benefit to production by targeting areas of already-known, high-grade brine that is ready for extraction. For the sand project at Intrepid South, we look forward to working through the necessary permitting, beginning construction later this year, and then starting to add higher and more diversified revenue streams in our Oilfield Solutions segment. We've seen notably strong interest from customers given the project's strategic location and potential to support decades of sand production. Overall, we're pleased by the start to 2023 and have a constructive outlook for the remainder of the year."

Potash segment sales in the first quarter of 2023 decreased
In the first quarter of 2022, potash prices were significantly higher due to concerns around supply issues related to sanctions imposed on Belarus and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which resulted in many global distributors increasing their potash purchases to build inventory. Consequently, carryover inventory after the 2022 spring application season was higher than expected, leading to comfortable inventory levels ahead of the fall application season. With many buyers maintaining a cautious approach, the potash market experienced demand deferral in the second half of 2022, with prices declining through the end of 2022, and into the first quarter of 2023.
Potash segment gross margin totaled
Potash production totaled 90 thousand tons in the first quarter of 2023, which compares to 103 thousand tons produced in the same prior year period. The decrease in potash production was primarily driven by lower production at our HB facility.

First quarter 2023 Trio® production totaled 49 thousand tons, a decrease of 16 thousand tons compared to the first quarter of 2022. During the first quarter, our East plant experienced net unplanned downtime of approximately eight days, which was the primary reason for the lower production. We were able to push forward some planned maintenance projects during the outage which will allow us to make up some of the downtime in future quarters. For the second quarter of 2023, we expect the first of the two continuous underground miners we previously purchased to commence operations, with delivery for the second miner expected in the third quarter of 2023. The two new miners are expected to drive improved efficiencies and production.

To supplement Intrepid's consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, Intrepid uses several non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate its performance. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, and average net realized sales price per ton. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures varies among companies, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Intrepid believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors for analysis of its business. Intrepid uses these non-GAAP financial measures as one of its tools in comparing period-over-period performance on a consistent basis and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. Intrepid believes these non-GAAP financial measures are used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison, and investment recommendations of companies in the potash mining industry. Many investors use the published research reports of these professional research analysts and others in making investment decisions.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share
Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are calculated as net income or income per diluted share adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period, as set forth in the reconciliation below. Intrepid considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful because they allow for period-to-period comparisons of its operating results excluding items that Intrepid believes are not indicative of its fundamental ongoing operations.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (or adjusted EBITDA) is calculated as net income adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period, as set forth in the reconciliation below. Intrepid considers adjusted EBITDA to be useful, and believe it to be useful for investors, because the measure reflects Intrepid's operating performance before the effects of certain non-cash items and other items that Intrepid believes are not indicative of its core operations. Intrepid uses adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance.

Average Potash and Trio® Net Realized Sales Price per Ton
Average net realized sales price per ton for potash is calculated as potash segment sales less potash segment byproduct sales and potash freight costs and then dividing that difference by the number of tons of potash sold in the period. Likewise, average net realized sales price per ton for Trio® is calculated as Trio® segment sales less Trio® segment byproduct sales and Trio® freight costs and then dividing that difference by Trio® tons sold. Intrepid considers average net realized sales price per ton to be useful, and believe it to be useful for investors, because it shows Intrepid's potash and Trio® average per ton pricing without the effect of certain transportation and delivery costs. When Intrepid arranges transportation and delivery for a customer, it includes in revenue and in freight costs the costs associated with transportation and delivery. However, some of Intrepid's customers arrange for and pay their own transportation and delivery costs, in which case these costs are not included in Intrepid's revenue and freight costs. Intrepid uses average net realized sales price per ton as a key performance indicator to analyze potash and Trio® sales and price trends.
