DENVER, May 2, 2017 -
Intrepid Potash, Inc. (Intrepid) (NYSE:IPI) today reported its
results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
First Quarter Results
-
Completion of an underwritten public offering of
common stock, generating net proceeds of $57.5 million.
-
Continued principal reduction on existing senior
notes; total reduction of $61.0 million since September 30,
2016.
-
Potash segment gross margin of $2.3 million,
driven by previous transition to lower-cost solar production and
higher average net realized sales prices1 as compared
to the first quarter of 2016.
-
Expansion of global Trio®
footprint, leading to highest quarterly sales volume since the
first quarter of 2008.
-
Trio® segment gross
deficit of $5.2 million was pressured by lower average net realized
sales prices and $3.8 million in lower-of-cost-or-market
adjustments.
-
Continued progress in by-product and water
marketing.
-
Net loss of $13.7 million, or $0.17 per share,
compared with net loss of $18.4 million, or $0.24 per share, in the
first quarter of 2016.
"Our transition to lower-cost solar potash
production and Trio®-only
production at our East facility is beginning to show the promise we
envisioned last year," said Bob Jornayvaz, Intrepid's Executive
Chairman, President and CEO. "Solar-only potash production improved
our potash margins, and Trio® sales volumes
reflected our work to expand our presence in the international
market. We continue to make progress in our water marketing and
expect water sales to provide meaningful cash flow as the year
continues."
Jornayvaz continued, "The success of our public
equity offering has put Intrepid in a stronger financial position
and we have completed our review of strategic alternatives. We are
now focused on optimizing our operations, diversifying our income
through increased by-product and water sales, and improving our
overall cost profile as we work through challenges in the
international Trio® market."

Potash production decreased 45% compared to the
first quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of the elimination of
high-cost production from Intrepid's underground West and East
facilities. Intrepid expects to produce potash from its solar
solution mines until midway through the second quarter, at which
time those facilities will begin the summer evaporation period that
typically extends to mid-August. Due primarily to the reduced
production profile, sales volumes decreased 54% compared to the
first quarter of 2016. Average potash net realized sales price per
ton increased 11% compared to the first quarter of 2016, as reduced
volumes enabled Intrepid to focus its sales into higher margin
locations and markets.
During the first quarter of 2017, the potash
segment generated a gross margin of $2.3 million, a $14.3 million
increase compared to the year-ago comparable period. This increase
was a result of no lower-of-cost-or-market adjustments in the first
quarter of 2017, the improved cost profile of solar-only
production, and an increase in average net realized sales price per
ton.

Trio® production
increased 61% compared to the first quarter of 2016 as a result of
the transition to Trio®-only
production at Intrepid's East facility. Trio® sales
volumes increased 52% compared to the first quarter of 2016,
primarily as a result of the increase in international sales.
Average net realized sales price per ton declined 36% compared with
the same period in 2016, due to domestic price decreases announced
in the second half of 2016 and an increase in international sales,
which had lower average net realized sales prices.
The Trio® segment
generated a gross deficit in the quarter, driven by a lower average
net realized sale price per ton and lower-of-cost-or-market
adjustments totaling $3.8 million. Intrepid plans to continue its
practice of matching production to expected sales.
Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents were $20.8 million at
the end of the first quarter of 2017, up from $4.5 million as of
December 31, 2016. During the first quarter, Intrepid repaid $46.0
million in outstanding senior note principal utilizing proceeds
from its equity offering and an asset sale. As of March 31, 2017,
Intrepid had $89.0 million of senior notes outstanding and $25.5
million available for borrowing under its asset-backed credit
facility.
Notes
1 Average net
realized sales price per ton is a non-GAAP financial measure. 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

INTREPID POTASH,
INC.
UNAUDITED NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017 AND
2016
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated
financial statements, which are prepared and presented in
accordance with GAAP, the Company uses several non-GAAP financial
measures to monitor and evaluate its performance. These non-GAAP
financial measures include adjusted net loss, adjusted net 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, the Company's non-GAAP
financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies.
The Company believes these non-GAAP financial
measures provide useful information to investors for analysis of
its business. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures as
one of its tools in comparing performance period over period on a
consistent basis and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing
future periods. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial
measures are widely 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.
Below is additional information about the
Company's non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations of
the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP measures:
Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted
Net Loss Per Diluted Share
Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per
diluted share are calculated as net loss or 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.
The Company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be
useful because they allow for period-to-period comparisons of the
Company's operating results excluding items that the Company
believes are not indicative of its fundamental ongoing
operations.

(1) As a result of the temporary suspensions
of production at Intrepid's East facilities, Intrepid determined
that approximately $0.7 million of production costs for the three
months ended March 31, 2016, would have been allocated to
additional potash tons produced, assuming the facility had been
operating at normal production rates. Accordingly, these costs were
excluded from Intrepid's inventory values and instead directly
expensed as period production costs. Intrepid compares actual
production levels relative to what it estimated could have been
produced if it had not incurred the temporary production
suspensions and lower operating rates in order to determine the
abnormal cost adjustment.
(2) During the first quarter of 2017, Intrepid
made an early repayment of $46.0 million of principal on its senior
notes. As a result of this action, Intrepid wrote off a portion of
the financing fees that had previously been capitalized related to
the senior notes. In the first quarter of 2016, Intrepid wrote off
a portion of previously capitalized financing fees related to the
Company's previous unsecured credit facility as a result of
amendments to the facility.
(3) During the first quarter of 2017, Intrepid
made an early repayment of principal on its senior notes. The
payment totaled $46.8 million, of which, $0.8 million related to an
additional make-whole payment.
(4) Intrepid had an effective tax rate of 0% for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017, and 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization (or adjusted EBITDA) is calculated
as net loss adjusted for certain items that impact the
comparability of results from period to period, as set forth in the
reconciliation below. The Company considers adjusted EBITDA to be
useful because the measure reflects the Company's operating
performance before the effects of certain non-cash items and other
items that the Company believes are not indicative of its core
operations. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA to assess operating
performance.

Average Net Realized Sales Price
per Ton
Average net realized sales price per ton is
calculated as sales, less freight costs, divided by the number of
tons sold in the period. The Company considers average net realized
sales price per ton to be useful because it shows average per-ton
pricing without the effect of certain transportation and delivery
costs. When the Company arranges transportation and delivery for a
customer, it includes in revenue and in freight costs the costs
associated with transportation and delivery. However, many of the
Company's customers arrange for and pay their own transportation
and delivery costs, in which case these costs are not included in
the Company's revenue and freight costs. The Company uses average
net realized sales price per ton as a key performance indicator to
analyze sales and pricing trends.
