Consolidated Results, Management Commentary, & Outlook
In the second quarter of 2024, Intrepid generated sales of $62.1 million, a 23% decrease from second quarter 2023 sales of $81.0 million. Consolidated gross margin totaled $7.6 million, while net loss totaled $0.8 million, or a net loss of $0.06 per diluted share, which compares to second quarter 2023 net income of $4.3 million, or $0.33 per diluted share. The Company delivered adjusted EBITDA (1) of $9.2 million, down from $15.8 million in the same prior year period, with the lower profitability primarily being driven by lower pricing for our key products. Our second quarter 2024 average net realized sales prices (1) for potash and Trio ® averaged $405 and $314 per ton, respectively, which compares to $479 and $333 per ton, respectively, in the second quarter of 2023.
Matt Preston, Intrepid's Chief Financial Officer and acting principal executive officer commented: "Our strategic focus continues to be improving our potash production, and I'm happy to share that we saw the first indications of this in our second quarter results. Improved brine grades at HB from the Eddy Cavern and good early-season evaporation rates, allowed us to extend our spring production season and we still expect our 2024 potash production to be approximately 15% higher than 2023.
As for our second quarter results, our operational and financial performance continues to be solid. In Trio ®, our sales volumes and production are well ahead of last year's pace through the first six months of the year as increased operating rates from our new continuous miners and our modified operating schedule have driven significant improvement in both our total and per ton production costs. Trio ® segment gross margin of $2.2 million in the second quarter was an increase of approximately $3.3 million sequentially and $1 million year-over-year. As the broader potash market looks to be finding its midcycle pricing floor, we remain focused on improving our unit economics by means of higher potash production.
Lastly, we want to again extend our best wishes to Bob as he continues his recovery. We will provide updates on our search for a new CEO as that process unfolds in the coming months."

Our total sales in the potash segment decreased $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023, as potash sales decreased $17.0 million, or 41%, and potash segment byproduct sales decreased $0.3 million. Our potash sales decreased in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023, as our average net realized sales price per ton decreased 15%, and we sold 30% fewer tons. We sold fewer tons of potash in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023, as we had fewer tons of potash to sell due to lower potash production from our HB and Wendover facilities.
Our potash segment cost of goods sold decreased by 25% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023, as we sold 30% fewer tons of potash, although our production costs remained elevated due to decreased production volumes over the past year. A significant portion of our potash production costs are fixed and an increase in potash tons produced reduces our potash per ton cost.
During the second quarter of 2024, we recorded lower of cost or net realizable value inventory adjustments of $1.4 million as our weighted average carrying cost per ton for inventoried potash products at our HB and Wendover facilities was higher than our expected selling price per ton for those products.
Our potash segment gross margin decreased $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023, due to the factors discussed above.

Trio ® segment sales decreased 8% during the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Trio ® sales decreased $0.8 million, and our Trio ® segment byproduct sales decreased $1.4 million. Trio ® sales volumes were flat year-over year, and similar to potash prices discussed above, our Trio ® average net realized sales price per ton has decreased since the peak prices realized during the second quarter of 2022, as potassium fertilizer supplies have improved.
Our Trio ® cost of goods sold decreased 18% in the second quarter of 2024 despite sales volumes matching the prior year quarter, as improved production rates and decreased total production costs led to an improvement in our per unit costs. In the second quarter of 2024, we produced 68 thousand tons of Trio ® which compares to 58 thousand tons in the same prior-year period. A significant portion of our production costs are fixed and an increase in tons produced decreases our per ton production costs.
Our Trio ® segment generated gross margin of $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to gross margin of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, due to the factors discussed above.

Our oilfield solutions segment sales increased $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to a $0.2 million increase in brine water sales and a $0.3 million increase in other oilfield solution products and services. Our water sales increased compared to the prior year period due to increased sales of water on our South ranch. Our brine water sales and sales of other oilfield solutions segments products and services increased due to continued strong demand from oil and gas operators in the Permian Basin near Intrepid South.
Our cost of goods sold decreased $0.4 million, or 11%, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023, due to using less contract labor. In the second quarter of 2023, we used contract labor to complete various projects at Intrepid South.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2024 increased $0.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2023, due to the factors discussed above.

INTREPID POTASH, INC.
UNAUDITED NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023
(In thousands)
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.
