A Unique Domestic Position

Intrepid is the only company in the U.S. that produces muriate of potash, which is an essential nutrient for agricultural development. The firm operates three solar solution mines and one conventional underground mine located exclusively within the continental U.S.

Performance by the Numbers

• Net income reached $15.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, up from $3.3 million in the same period of 2025.
• Total sales were $165.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which was up 2% year over year.
• Average net realized potash sales price per ton, a non-GAAP measure, rose 8% to $391 for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
• Cash and cash equivalents increased to $185.0 million by June 30, 2026, up from $83.5 million at the end of 2025.

Bottom Line

Intrepid has transitioned toward a more focused mineral extraction model by divesting its secondary oilfield assets. Its role as the sole domestic potash producer remains a core differentiator in the agricultural input market.
