DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intrepid Potash, Inc. (NYSE: IPI), today announced third quarter 2009 financial results with net income of $9.5 million, resulting in $0.13 of earnings per diluted share. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the third quarter of 2009 were $20.8 million.
Highlights for the Third Quarter 2009:
-- As of September 30, 2009, we had $94.9 million of cash and investments,
no outstanding debt, and $125 million of availability under our
revolving credit facility.
-- The average net realized sales price for potash in the third quarter
2009 was $458 per short ton ($505 per metric ton) compared to $623 per
short ton ($687 per metric ton) in the same period of 2008.
-- Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $13.3 million
compared to adjusted net income of $49.8 million in the same period of
2008.
-- Excluding $5.8 million of abnormal production costs expensed during the
quarter, our potash "cash operating" cost of goods sold, net of
by-product credits, in the third quarter of 2009 was $177 per short ton.
-- Potash sales in the third quarter were 111,000 short tons compared to
204,000 short tons in the third quarter of 2008.
-- Potash production in the quarter was 112,000 short tons compared to
200,000 short tons produced in the third quarter of 2008, as we
continued to manage production in response to decreased customer demand.
-- Average net realized sales price for langbeinite, which we market under
the name of TrioTM, was $246 per short ton ($271 per metric ton) in the
third quarter of 2009 compared to $283 per short ton ($312 per metric
ton) in the third quarter of 2008.
-- Sales of TrioTM were 40,000 short tons in the third quarter of 2009
compared to 50,000 short tons in the third quarter of 2008.
-- Langbeinite production in the third quarter increased to 60,000 short
tons compared to 50,000 short tons produced in the third quarter of
2008.
-- Excluding the abnormal production costs of $5.8 million that were not
included in our inventory costs, gross margins in the third quarter of
2009 for the sale of potash were $231 per short ton or 50 percent
compared to 65 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Gross margins for the sale of TrioTM were $74 per short ton or 30
percent compared to 57 percent in the same period of 2008.
-- Capital investments in the third quarter of 2009 totaled $33.2 million
bringing the year-to-date total to $82.4 million.
"The third quarter began to show some signs of a moderate recovery in the domestic potash market," said Bob Jornayvaz, Intrepid's CEO. "Although the potash market in the United States remains a just-in-time market, our forward warehousing efforts have provided Intrepid the opportunity to participate in sales that we would have otherwise not realized. With the fall harvest going slowly, we believe that the persistent wet weather through October in much of the corn growing regions will reduce the chance of a return to normal or near normal fertilization levels until the spring. We believe that farmers will replace the significant nutrients they have withdrawn from their soil and may return to more historical consumption levels going forward. Throughout all the market turmoil of the past year, Intrepid has stayed focused on margins by executing on capital projects that are designed to lower our per ton costs. We have also continued to maintain the strength of our balance sheet, which we believe has been important in retaining flexibility in making operating and capital investment decisions in this uncertain market environment."
Market Conditions
Overall, we believe that the domestic potash market is in a bottoming process and that we have begun to see some initial hopeful signs with selective buyers returning to the market as dealer-owned inventories appear to be at low levels. Although we believe that the dealer and retail supply chain has reduced inventories, we continue to see broad buyer hesitation persist. Fertilizer dealers remain cautious in their buying habits preferring to defer purchases, and avoid the associated price risk, while they take some risk of losing sales due to low inventory levels. Intrepid continues to work with dealers to move product forward in the distribution system so that our product is available for sale when buyers more fully step into the market.
Weather continues to be a major influencing factor for the supply chain. Persistent wet weather in much of the corn belt has delayed the harvest and, in-turn, slowed potential fertilizer application. Although the 2009 corn crop is expected to be close to a record yield per acre, rising demand globally for grains and lower crop yields internationally should mute any appreciable improvement in the world stocks-to-use ratios. We maintain our belief that application rates for potash fertilizers will be lower in 2009 relative to 2008, but we also do not expect this decline to be permanent as fertilizer plays a vital role in ensuring that world agricultural production meets the needs of a growing population.
As the current potash market develops, we will continue to manage production volumes and our net cash position while at the same time making the appropriate investments in our business.
Third Quarter Results
Operating income for the third quarter of 2009 was $16.2 million compared to operating income of $79.9 million in the third quarter 2008. Cash flows from operating activities were $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2009, which compares to $66.9 million for the third quarter of 2008.
Potash
During the third quarter of 2009, Intrepid produced 112,000 short tons of potash and sold 111,000 short tons of potash. This compares to 200,000 short tons produced and 204,000 short tons sold in the third quarter of 2008. Production declined in the third quarter of 2009 relative to the prior year period due primarily to actions we took to slow production in order to more closely align our supply with market demand.
The 111,000 short tons of potash we sold in the third quarter of 2009 was at an average net realized sales price, which we define as gross sales less freight costs, of $458 per short ton as compared to an average net realized sales price of $623 per short ton during the third quarter of 2008. As price discussions continue to occur in our markets and the fall application window narrows, we expect that price may trend downward somewhat as we enter the fourth quarter.
The decrease in sales this quarter, as compared to 2008, resulted from slower sales of granular potash as growers continued to defer potash applications due to a later than normal fall harvest in most of our core markets. Additionally, we saw slower than normal uptake into inventory by dealers as they continued to show little willingness to accept price risk and were buying product in a just-in-time fashion and holding minimal uncommitted inventory. The North American drilling rig count has shown signs of stabilization through the end of the quarter, but our industrial sales have remained slow. The feed portion of our business, as has been the case from the prior quarters of 2009, saw consistent demand. It is noteworthy that, while overall potash demand is lagging 2008 levels, our third quarter sales level was improved as compared to the preceding three quarters.
Our potash "cash operating" cost of goods sold ("COGS"), net of by-product credits of $16 per ton, and which we define as total cost of goods sold excluding royalties, depreciation, depletion and amortization, decreased slightly to $177 per short ton in the third quarter of 2009 from $182 per short ton in the third quarter of 2008. It is important to understand that we expensed $5.8 million of production costs directly in the quarter associated with operating at a lower rate at our West Mine and our Wendover operation. The effect of expensing these costs directly, coupled with the same accounting treatment in the prior two quarters, was a lower cash operating cost of goods sold per ton than had these costs been absorbed into inventory. The operating cost per ton amount has been higher in recent quarters as Intrepid has operated at reduced production levels in response to decreased market demand. Until more normalized production levels are resumed and current inventory is sold through, a portion of current period production costs will be expensed and cost per ton amounts will likely remain somewhat elevated resulting in a reduced operating margin. Finally, as long as demand remains depressed, the Company expects to operate at reduced production levels to manage inventory, and operating costs are expected to continue to be adversely affected.
Langbeinite - TrioTM
During the third quarter, Intrepid produced 60,000 short tons of langbeinite. Our langbeinite production was 20 percent higher than the 50,000 short tons produced during the third quarter of 2008. The increase in langbeinite production was largely driven by our focus on langbeinite in order to keep up with granular TrioTM demand.
Intrepid sold 40,000 short tons of TrioTM in the third quarter of 2009, the majority of which was granular size product, at an average net realized sales price of $246 per short ton as compared to 50,000 short tons at an average net realized sales price of $283 per short ton in the prior year's third quarter. The decrease in TrioTM sales was driven largely by slower than expected export shipments of standard sized TrioTM.
Capital Investment
During the third quarter of 2009, Intrepid invested $33.2 million related to the 2009 capital program. The investments in the third quarter of 2009 were used to fund projects already in progress and for sustaining capital. Total capital investment in 2009 is expected to be between $100 and $110 million. During the quarter, Intrepid made the decision to moderate capital investment by approximately $20 to $25 million for 2009 which will be achieved through the slowing of certain projects. This decision to moderate investment still allows Intrepid to move forward its capital program which is designed to increase production and lower per ton operating costs in the long-term, while at the same time maintaining a prudent net cash position in the near term.
Intrepid routinely posts information about Intrepid on its website under the Investor Relations tab. Intrepid's website address is www.intrepidpotash.com.
Since net realized sales price, adjusted net income and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures it is necessary to reference the respective reconciliations in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliation tables towards the end of this release. Cash operating cost of goods sold is defined in the text of this release and the associated financial tables provide the details to recalculate these numbers in accordance with GAAP.

NON-GAAP ADJUSTED NET INCOME
RECONCILIATIONS
(In thousands)
Adjusted net income is calculated as net income for the three months ended September 2009 and 2008, adjusted for significant non-cash and unusual items. Examples of non-cash and unusual charges include insurance settlements in excess of property losses, non-cash gains or losses associated with unrealized derivative adjustments, and costs associated with abnormal production. The non-GAAP measure of adjusted net income is presented because management believes it provides useful additional information to investors for analysis of Intrepid's fundamental business on a recurring normal 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 GAAP. Since 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.

EARNINGS BEFORE INCOME TAXES,
INTEREST, DEPRECIATION,
AND AMORTIZATION
(In
thousands)
Earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is computed as net income adjusted for the add back of income tax expense, interest expense including derivatives, depreciation, depletion, amortization, asset retirement obligation liability accretion, and impairment. This non-GAAP measure is presented since management believes that it provides useful additional information to investors for analysis of Intrepid's ability to internally generate funds for capital investment. In addition, 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. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations, net cash provided by operating activities or other income, profitability, cash flow, or liquidity measures prepared under GAAP. Since EBITDA excludes some, but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities and may vary among companies, the EBITDA amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

AVERAGE NET REALIZED SALES PRICE
RECONCILIATIONS
(In thousands, except per ton data)
Average net realized sales price is calculated as gross sales less freight costs. Since many of our customers arrange and pay their own freight directly, we believe that average net realized sales price is a better representation of our sales price trend and is a useful tool to utilize in the analysis of our sales trends. In addition, management believes that the presentation of average net realized sales price provides useful information to investors of Intrepid's fundamental business. Furthermore, net realized sales price is 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 of industry research analysts in making investment decisions. Average net realized sales price ("net sales per short ton") should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for gross sales or gross margin measures prepared under GAAP.
