Intrepid Announces 2012 First Quarter Financial Results and Second Quarter Outlook
Denver, Colorado; May 2, 2012 - Intrepid Potash, Inc. (NYSE:IPI) announced 2012 first quarter financial results today, with quarterly net income of $20.6 million and $0.27 of earnings per diluted share. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (adjusted EBITDA1) for the first quarter of 2012 were $44.7 million.
“I am very pleased with our first quarter results. Intrepid was able to achieve solid potash sales despite hesitancy by dealers during the quarter. Because of our strong customer relationships, diverse markets, and the hard work of our sales team, we were able to capitalize on the sales opportunities available in our core geography. Intrepid is well positioned to meet the demands of our end markets, while earning the best margin on each ton of product we sell,” said Bob Jornayvaz, Intrepid's Executive Chairman of the Board.
Mr. Jornayvaz continued, “The approval of the HB Solar Solution mine during the first quarter of 2012 by the Bureau of Land Management was a significant milestone for Intrepid. This project is truly a game changer for the company. HB represents an important step on our path of growing our production, increasing our flexibility, and improving the margin opportunity on each ton we sell. Construction of the HB Solar Solution mine has begun and we anticipate first production in the fall of 2013. When you combine the start of construction of the HB Solar Solution mine, the nearing of completion of our Langbeinite Recovery Improvement Project and the initiation of our North compaction project, it is clear that Intrepid is taking concrete steps to maximize stockholder value and provide the products that our customers demand.”

investments; no outstanding debt; and $250.0 million available under the company's unsecured revolving credit facility.
| |
• | The average net realized sales price2 for potash was $477 per ton ($526 per metric tonne) in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $442 per ton ($487 per metric tonne) in the first quarter of 2011. |
| |
• | The average net realized sales price for Trio® was $302 per ton ($333 per metric tonne) in the first quarter of 2012. This compares to $204 per ton ($225 per metric tonne) in the first quarter of 2011. |
| |
• | Potash sales in the first quarter of 2012 were 203,000 tons as compared to 196,000 tons in the same period of 2011. |
| |
• | Potash production in the first quarter of 2012 was 218,000 tons compared to 234,000 tons in the same period a year ago. |
| |
• | Cash operating cost of goods sold, net of by-product credits3, for potash was $195 per ton in the first quarter of 2012. This compares to $166 per ton in the first quarter of 2011. |
| |
• | Sales of langbeinite, which we market as Trio®, were 28,000 tons in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 52,000 tons in the same period a year ago. |
| |
• | Langbeinite production was 30,000 tons in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 31,000 tons in the same period a year ago. |
| |
• | Cash operating cost of goods sold for Trio® was $221 per ton in the first quarter of 2012. This compares to $160 per ton in the first quarter of 2011. |
Market Conditions
Crop prices have remained supportive of farmer economics through the spring season, and we believe that current prices provide a strong incentive to the farmer to apply nutrients to maximize the return on their crop investment. Further, based on the most recent estimates for larger corn acreage in 2012 compared to 2011, we believe that domestic farmers will apply near normal volumes of potash in the spring and fall application seasons, essentially in line with historical trends.
Dealers have shown limited willingness to take inventory price risk on potash as they have been drawing down their inventory levels to meet farmer demand in order to end the spring season with minimal potash inventory. We have observed that dealers increased their storage capacity over the last few years while reducing their appetite for risk.
The diversity of our oil and gas and feed markets contributed positively to our results in

the quarter and we see continued strength in these markets.
Capital Investment
In the first quarter of 2012, Intrepid invested approximately $30.8 million making significant progress on the initiation and completion of a number of major capital projects.
During the quarter, we continued the commissioning of the Dense Media Separation ("DMS") component of our Langbeinite Recovery Improvement Project ("LRIP") and made substantial progress towards completion of the granulation component of the LRIP. We expect the DMS component of the LRIP to be fully in service by the end of the second quarter.
We completed the expansion of the existing well-field cavern system in Moab during the quarter, and are actively engaged in developing a new cavern system through the drilling of two additional horizontal wells. Further, we recently received the necessary permits for our North compaction project and we commenced construction activities during the second quarter of 2012.
As previously announced in a press release dated April 26, 2012, Intrepid received a favorable Record of Decision (“ROD”) from the Bureau of Land Management in late March 2012. Upon receipt of the ROD, and with BLM approval, we immediately began construction. The total expected investment for the project is between $200 and $230 million. As of March 31, 2012, we had invested $35.3 million in engineering, design, permitting, and equipment for this project. We expect first production from the HB Solar Solution mine to begin in the fall of 2013 after the summer evaporation season, with ramp up of production expected in 2014, and production levels increasing into 2015, assuming the benefit of an average annual evaporation cycle applied to full evaporation ponds.
We continue to execute on our strategy to increase granulation capacity for both potash and Trio®. This activity includes the completed Moab and Wendover compactor projects, the granulation plant associated with the LRIP, and the commencement of activity related to the North compaction project. The additional granulation capacity described below will allow us to right-size our production of granular and standard products to enhance our sales opportunities and to capture the best margin for both potash and Trio®:
| |
• | The North compaction project is designed to increase the capacity of the North plant to coincide with the new production from the HB Solar Solution mine and the expansion of mining and milling capacity at the West mine. Total capital investment for the project is expected to be approximately $95 to $100 million, of which approximately $10.6 million has been invested to date. |
| |
• | The granulation component of the LRIP will provide us with the capacity to produce granular product from our standard-sized Trio® product as needed to satisfy the growing market demand. Construction of the granulation component of the LRIP reached substantial completion in April 2012, and initial commissioning activities on the granulation plant have begun. |
Total capital investment in 2012 is estimated to be between $225 and $300 million. We expect our 2012 capital programs to be funded out of cash flow and existing cash and investments.
First Quarter Results and Recent Performance
Income before income taxes for the first quarter of 2012 was $33.2 million compared to $47.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. The first quarter of 2011 included $12.5 million of income from an insurance settlement for a property loss. Adjusted net income4 for the first quarter of 2012 was $20.7 million compared to adjusted net income of $20.9 million in the same period last year. Cash flows from operating activities were $37.7 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $28.6 million for the first quarter of 2011.
Potash
During the first quarter of 2012, Intrepid produced 218,000 tons of potash and sold 203,000 tons of potash compared to 234,000 tons produced and 196,000 tons sold in the first quarter of 2011. In the front half of the first quarter of 2012, dealers took a guarded approach to purchasing potash. As the quarter progressed, favorable weather conditions in some of our markets, and the approaching spring season, provided the driver for improved sales as farmers began field activity. Production results were positively impacted during the first quarter by the solid performance from our Moab, Wendover, and West mines. Production at our East facility was impacted by maintenance and mechanical issues during the ongoing implementation of new techniques and technologies to process our complex ore body along with the integration of new processes at the plant. The result from these changes was reduced operating time and availability of the East plant and subsequently caused lower recovery of potash from this facility.
Langbeinite - Trio®
Demand for Trio® remained strong during the first quarter of 2012. We finished the quarter with very low inventory levels for both granular and standard-sized Trio® product, continuing a trend that we have seen over the last few quarters. Demand for Trio® continues to exceed supply and we expect that Trio® sales demand will at least meet or exceed our production capabilities for the next few quarters. We anticipate increased Trio® production once the DMS component of the LRIP is fully commissioned during the second quarter of 2012, and we expect to begin realizing the benefits of increased Trio® production in the third quarter of 2012.
For the 28,000 tons of Trio® sold in the first quarter of 2012, we obtained an average net realized sales price of $302 per ton, which was $15 per ton higher than in the fourth quarter of 2011. This compares to 52,000 tons of Trio® sold at an average net realized sales price of $204 per ton in the prior year's first quarter. The sequential improvement in Trio® pricing was a result of the realization of the price increase implemented in January 2012 that benefited our domestic and export realizations. The decrease in tons sold during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period a year earlier was principally a result of lower existing inventory levels available

Second Quarter and Full Year 2012 Outlook
Our outlook for the second quarter and full year 2012 is presented below and it takes into account some of the unpredictability we see in the agricultural markets at the current time. This market demand variability is somewhat similar to the behavior demonstrated by dealers in the spring of 2010. This information is our best estimate at the current time and will be impacted by market conditions, results of operations and production results. Please note that outlook information for capital investment is only provided on a full year basis.

INTREPID POTASH, INC.
UNAUDITED NON-GAAP ADJUSTED NET INCOME RECONCILIATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012 AND 2011
(In thousands)
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income adjusted for significant non-cash and infrequent items. Examples of non-cash and infrequent items include insurance settlements from property and business losses, a portion of the income associated with the refundable employment-related credits from the State of New Mexico, non-cash unrealized gains or losses associated with derivative adjustments, costs associated with abnormal production and other infrequent items. Management believes adjusted net income provides useful additional information to investors for analysis of Intrepid's fundamental business on a recurring basis. In addition, management believes that the concept of adjusted net income is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison, and investment recommendations of companies in the potash mining industry, and many investors use the published research of industry research analysts in making investment decisions.
Adjusted net income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations, cash provided by operating activities or other income, profitability, cash flow, or liquidity measures prepared under U.S. GAAP. Because adjusted net income excludes some, but not all items that affect net income and may vary among companies, the adjusted net income amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The following is a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure:

UNAUDITED NON-GAAP ADJUSTED EBITDA RECONCILIATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012 AND 2011
(In thousands)
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (or adjusted EBITDA) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income adjusted for the add back of interest expense (including derivatives), income tax expense, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, and asset retirement obligation accretion. Management believes adjusted EBITDA assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We use adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison, and investment recommendations of companies in the potash mining industry, and many investors use the published research of industry research analysts in making investment decisions.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance or liquidity measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities and may vary among companies, the adjusted EBITDA amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The following is a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure:
