Intrepid Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results

Denver, CO, August 6, 2025 - Intrepid Potash, Inc. ("Intrepid", "the Company", "we", "us", or "our") (NYSE:IPI) today reported its results for the second quarter of 2025.

Second Quarter Highlights & Management Commentary

Improved pricing, steady demand for potash and Trio®, and solid unit economics led to another quarter of strong financial results, highlighted by:

•Total sales of $71.5 million;

•Net income of $3.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share;

•Adjusted net income(1) of $6.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share;

•Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $16.4 million; and

•Cash flow from operations of $39.9 million, and capital expenditures of $4.1 million.

Kevin Crutchfield, Intrepid's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "In the second quarter, we again delivered results that exceeded our expectations, and I'd like to congratulate the team on achieving strong performance across the board.

Owing to supportive potash market fundamentals, and steady demand for our potash and Trio®, our second quarter was highlighted by solid pricing and sales volumes, which helped drive higher gross margins in both segments compared to the prior year. On a consolidated basis, our adjusted EBITDA(1) of $16.4 million was roughly 75% higher than last year's second quarter, while our cash flow from operations of $39.9 million helped Intrepid end the quarter in a very strong financial position.

Looking ahead, we'll continue to remain focused on strong operational and project execution, while the potash market continues to see pricing support driven by strong underlying fundamentals. Overall, we're very pleased with our performance and we remain constructive on the outlook for the balance of the year."

Summer 2025 Weather Impacts, Project Updates, & Updated Potash Production Outlook

•Increased Rainfall at HB Facility

◦Above average precipitation at our HB facility in June and July has reduced our evaporation rates and pond inventory compared to the prior year. As a result, we expect that 1H 2026 production from our HB facility will be approximately 20,000 tons lower than we previously expected. In response to the reduced pond inventory, we plan to shut down our HB mill for a few weeks in September to maximize potential late-season evaporation. This will shift approximately 15,000 tons of 2025 production into the first half of 2026.

•HB Solar Solution Mine in Carlsbad, New Mexico

◦HB AMAX Cavern: We successfully drilled the AMAX Cavern sample well in July and did not find an existing brine pool in the open mine workings. Given the outcome, we are continuing our evaluation of options to pursue an injection well and pipeline that would connect the AMAX mine to our HB injection system. Construction of the injection well and pipeline depends on further technical review, as well as quantifying permit requirements.

◦We previously expected that the AMAX brine pool would be available for our 2026 evaporative season. Without AMAX brine available, we anticipate our overall brine grade into our HB pond system will be reduced. We expect this will

decrease our 2026 production by approximately 25,000 tons, in addition to the weather impact discussed above.

•Potash Production Outlook

Current and Previous Forecast for 2025 and 2026

2025 2026
Current Forecast 270k-280k tons 270k-280k tons
Previous Forecast 285k-295k tons 300k-310k tons

Liquidity

•As of August 1, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $87 million and we had no outstanding borrowings on our $150 million revolving credit facility that matures in August 2027.

Capital Expenditures

•In the second quarter of 2025, our capital expenditures totaled $4.1 million. We expect our 2025 capital expenditures will be in the range of $32 to $37 million, with the majority of this being sustaining capital.

Segment Highlights

Potash

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
(in thousands, except per ton data)
Sales $ 33,994 $ 30,034 $ 77,571 $ 67,610
Gross margin $ 4,858 $ 3,312 $ 7,361 $ 8,886
Potash sales volumes (in tons) 69 55 172 129
Potash production volumes (in tons) 44 40 137 127
Average potash net realized sales price per ton(1) $ 361 $ 405 $ 332 $ 399

In the second quarter of 2025, our potash segment sales increased $4.0 million compared to the same prior year period. This was primarily driven by a 25% increase in our potash sales

volumes to 69 thousand tons, and a $0.7 million increase in magnesium chloride sales, partially offset by an 11% decrease in our average net realized sales price per ton to $361.

We sold more tons of potash as we had more potash to sell due to an increase in production during the second half of 2024 and the first half of 2025. Our average net realized sales price per ton decreased compared to the prior year as Midwest warehouse prices during the 2025 spring season were lower and we sold a smaller percentage of our product into feed markets due to higher overall sales volumes.

In the second quarter of 2025, our potash production of 44 thousand tons was four thousand tons higher than the same prior year period. The improving production profile continues to have a positive impact on our unit economics. In the second quarter of 2025, our potash segment cost of goods sold ("COGS") per ton totaled $337, which represents a 13% improvement from $386 per ton in the second quarter of 2024.

Our segment gross margin increased by $1.5 million compared to the same prior year period, primarily driven by the higher sales volumes and improving COGS per ton, partially offset by the lower average net realized sales price.

Trio®

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
(in thousands, except per ton data)
Sales $ 33,212 $ 26,522 $ 83,054 $ 63,010
Gross margin $ 8,086 $ 2,182 $ 18,520 $ 1,043
Trio® sales volume (in tons) 70 63 181 154
Trio® production volume (in tons) 70 68 132 122
Average Trio® net realized sales price per ton(1) $ 368 $ 314 $ 352 $ 306

In the second quarter of 2025, Trio® segment sales increased 25% compared to the same prior year period, primarily driven by a $6.8 million increase in Trio® sales. Trio® sales increased due to an 11% increase in tons sold to 70 thousand tons and a 17% increase in our average net realized sales price per ton to $368.

Our Trio® sales volumes increased in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same prior year period, as we had more tons available to sell owing to the improved production rates in 2024 and first half of 2025, and we also continued to experience strong in-season demand. Strong spring demand for Trio® continued as increased corn acres supported an uptick in nutrient demand, and individual Trio® components such as sulfate were in tight supply throughout the spring application season, which led to increased prices.

In Trio®, we continue to see strong efficiencies and lower operating expenses related to the relatively new continuous miners, as well as from last year's restart of our fine langbeinite recovery system and reduced operating schedule. Moreover, higher Trio® production also continues to have a positive impact on our unit economics, and in the second quarter, our Trio® production of 70 thousand tons was two thousand tons higher than the same prior year period. In the second quarter of 2025, our Trio® segment COGS per ton totaled $235, which represents a 10% improvement from $261 per ton in the second quarter of 2024.

Our Trio® segment generated gross margin of $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, which compares to $2.2 million in the same prior year period, with the increase primarily attributable to the higher sales volumes and average net realized sales price per ton, as well as an improvement in our Trio® segment COGS per ton.

Oilfield Solutions

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
(in thousands)
Sales $ 4,324 $ 5,539 $ 8,724 $ 10,862
Gross margin $ 1,343 $ 2,130 $ 3,008 $ 4,129

In the second quarter of 2025, our oilfield solutions segment sales decreased $1.2 million compared to the same prior year period, due to a $2.0 million decrease in water sales, which was partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in surface use and easement sales. In the second quarter of 2025, our water sales decreased due to slightly lower oilfield activity on and around the Intrepid South Ranch, and from reduced sales from our Caprock wells, while our surface use and easement revenues fluctuate based on the timing of recognizing revenue from the various performance obligations contained in the underlying agreements.

In the second quarter of 2025, our COGS decreased by $0.4 million compared to the same prior year period, which was primarily due to reduced water sales. Our segment gross margin decreased $0.8 million to $1.3 million due to the factors discussed above.

Notes

1 Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (or adjusted EBITDA) and average net realized sales price per ton are non-GAAP financial measures. See the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth later in this press release for additional information.

Unless expressly stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to tons in this press release refer to short tons. One short ton equals 2,000 pounds. One metric tonne, which many international competitors use, equals 1,000 kilograms or 2,204.62 pounds.

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 (loss), adjusted net income (loss) 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 (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Diluted Share

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share are calculated as net income (loss) or net income (loss) 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 (loss) 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.
