Intrepid Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results
- Intrepid's adjusted EBITDA of $2.2 million in Q3 2023 was a decrease from $27.0 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to lower pricing for their key products and an increase in their cost of goods sold.
- The net loss of $7.2 million in Q3 2023, compared to net income of $13.1 million in Q3 2022, reflects the challenges Intrepid faced in maintaining profitability.
- Total sales of $54.5 million in Q3 2023 decreased by 27% from Q3 2022, indicating a significant decline in revenue for the company.
- None.
Denver, CO, Nov. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intrepid Potash, Inc. ("Intrepid", the "Company", "we", "us", "our") (NYSE:IPI) today reported its results for the third quarter of 2023.
Key Highlights for Third Quarter 2023
Financial & Operational
- Total sales of
$54.5 million , which compares to$74.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, as potash and Trio® average net realized sales prices(1) decreased to$433 and$298 per ton, respectively. - Net loss of
$7.2 million (or$0.56 per diluted share), which compares to net income of$13.1 million (or$0.97 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2022. - Gross margin of
$0.5 million , which compares to$26.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. - Cash flow used in operations of
$0.3 million , which compares to$14.1 million of cash flow used in operations in the third quarter of 2022. - Adjusted EBITDA(1) of
$2.2 million , which compares to$27.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. - Potash and Trio® sales volumes of 46 thousand and 52 thousand tons, respectively, which compares to prior year figures of 46 thousand and 39 thousand tons, respectively.
Capital Expenditures
- Incurred capital expenditures of
$16.6 million in the third quarter of 2023. We expect full-year 2023 capital expenditures to be between$65 t o$75 million . - Our capital expenditures continue to be primarily focused on our potash assets to help us meet our goals of maximizing brine availability and underground brine residence time, which will help drive higher and more consistent potash production and improve our unit economics.
Project Updates
- HB Solar Solution Mine in Carlsbad, New Mexico:
- Eddy Shaft Brine Extraction Project: We successfully commissioned the Eddy Shaft Brine Extraction Project in October. This project targets a significant, high-grade brine pool in the Eddy Cavern that is estimated to contain approximately 270 million gallons of brine at an expected grade of over
9% potassium chloride. Access to this brine pool immediately increases the brine available to our pond system and we expect to see incremental production contributions starting in the second half of 2024. - Replacement Extraction Well ("IP30B"): We continue to work through the permitting and contracting processes for IP30B and expect construction to begin in early-2024 with commissioning now expected in the first half of 2024 due to delays in permitting. This new extraction well is designed to have a long-term operational life and will initially target approximately 330 million gallons of high-grade brine from the Eddy Cavern at HB, with this additional brine being at lower depths than the Eddy Shaft project can access.
- Phase Two of HB Injection Pipeline Project: Phase Two is the installation of an in-line pigging system to clean the pipeline and remove scaling to help ensure more consistent flow rates. We continue to work through the permitting requirements and anticipate construction beginning in the first quarter of 2024, with commissioning expected in the first half of 2024, assuming we have no further delays in permitting. Upon Phase 2 commissioning, we expect our brine injection rates to be the highest in company history, which is key for maximizing brine availability and residence time.
- Eddy Shaft Brine Extraction Project: We successfully commissioned the Eddy Shaft Brine Extraction Project in October. This project targets a significant, high-grade brine pool in the Eddy Cavern that is estimated to contain approximately 270 million gallons of brine at an expected grade of over
- Solar Solution Mine in Moab, Utah
- Summer 2023 Drilling Projects: The Well 45 (Cavern 4), Well 46, and Twofer drilling projects were all successfully commissioned in July 2023 and will help us meet our key goals of maximizing brine availability and residence time. These projects provided incremental production benefits in 2023 with more substantial production contributions expected starting in 2024.
- Brine Recovery Mine in Wendover, Utah
- Primary Pond 7: We started construction on a new primary pond at Wendover to increase the brine evaporative area, which will result in two primary ponds when complete. Similar to our caverns at Moab and HB, the primary ponds at Wendover serve as the brine storage area, and adding another primary pond will help us meet our goals of maximizing brine availability, increasing our brine grade, and improving our production. Construction has started and we expect this project to be commissioned in the third quarter of 2024.
- East Facility in Carlsbad, New Mexico
- Both of the new continuous miners have been placed into service with the second miner operating for the full month of September. We expect to see an improvement in operating efficiencies and production during the fourth quarter of 2023 with both of the new miners in service for the full quarter.
Liquidity
- As of October 31, 2023, Intrepid had approximately
$7 million in cash and cash equivalents and$146 million available under its revolving credit facility, for total liquidity of approximately$153 million . - Intrepid maintains an investment account of short-and-long-term fixed income securities that had a balance of approximately
$4.4 million as of October 31, 2023.
Consolidated Results, Management Commentary, & Outlook
In the third quarter of 2023, Intrepid generated sales of
Bob Jornayvaz, Intrepid's Executive Chairman and CEO commented: "Our third quarter results were highlighted by strong sales of potash and Trio® and our volumes for the first nine months of the year remain well ahead of last year's pace. Farmer economics continue to be supported by elevated futures prices compared to historical levels, while attractive fertilizer pricing in the eyes of growers remains a key driver of demand. Since early-August, we have seen modest improvements in market pricing for potash and all signs point to a robust fall application season. Moreover, our logistics and transportation advantages, as well as diversified sales into other markets like feed, continue to help drive our netbacks to levels above industry benchmark pricing.
While our financial results have experienced headwinds as we work through higher carrying costs for our potash and Trio®, we remain focused on improving our potash unit economics by means of higher production. On this point, we've demonstrated very strong project execution throughout the year and recently commissioned our latest undertaking at HB, the Eddy Shaft Brine Extraction project. This project serves as an important bridge to higher potash production in the near-term as we are already extracting high-grade brine that will start to meaningfully contribute to product tons starting in the second half of next year.
We want to be clear that the capital spending for our potash projects at HB, Moab, and Wendover is designed to have a long-term, sustained impact on returning our potash production to historical highs, but we do have the added benefit of also being able to target near-term tons as we go through the normal brine injection, extraction, and production cycle."

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 (loss) income, adjusted net (loss) 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 (Loss) Income and Adjusted Net (Loss) Income Per Diluted Share
Adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted net (loss) income per diluted share are calculated as net (loss) income or net (loss) 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 (loss) 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.
