Management Comment
"We are excited to move into 2021 and put the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic gradually behind us as strong farmer economics will allow us to fully take advantage of higher potash and Trio® prices, which are currently
Jornayvaz continued, "We are expanding upon the existing and significant ES&G solar evaporation footprint of our environmentally friendly potash operations to further increase our commitment to provide creative ES&G solutions and services to oilfield operators as they focus their resources in the prolific Delaware Basin. We saw a significant increase in water sales during the fourth quarter as frac activity improved from prior months. We managed well through the worst part of the downturn and expect continued improvement in oilfield activity in 2021. We are committed to growing our oil and gas midstream business in the Delaware Basin. Intrepid is responding to political, regulatory, and ES&G emphasis on water conservation and re-use by providing full-cycle water management solutions to the numerous well-capitalized operators in the area. We are in the early stages of construction on a produced water disposal system near our South ranch and we are investing in recycling infrastructure and capabilities in the coming months as full-cycle water management becomes a central focus of our oilfield segment. Our expansion into full-cycle water management, including the transition of fresh water sales to brine water sales for oilfield drilling and fracing, will be key in achieving the environmental and sustainability goals of both oilfield operators and the New Mexico legislature."

Gross margin decreased
Fourth quarter and full year average net realized sales price per ton decreased year-over-year due to price decreases announced in the 2020 winter and summer-fill programs and fewer industrial sales. We announced three price increases during the fourth quarter of 2020 and another in February 2021, increasing our posted price by
Fourth quarter production was similar to the prior year with all sites operating at full rates to meet strong early season fertilizer demand. We expect above average evaporation during the 2020 evaporation season will allow us to operate longer than normal during the spring of 2021. Full year production decreased

INTREPID POTASH, INC.
UNAUDITED NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
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 (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.

(1) As a result of early repayments of its senior notes, Intrepid incurred make whole-payments, which are reflected on the income statement as interest expense.
(2) As a result of early repayments of principal on its senior notes, Intrepid wrote off a portion of the financing fees that had previously been capitalized related to the senior notes. The write-offs of deferred financing fees are reflected in Intrepid's financial statements as interest expense.
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.

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 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.
