Consolidated Results and Management Commentary
Intrepid generated first quarter 2022 sales of $104.4 million, which compares to first quarter 2021 sales of $71.5 million. Consolidated gross margin totaled $47.2 million, while net income totaled $31.4 million, or $2.31 per share, which compares to first quarter 2021 net income of $2.5 million, or $0.18 per share. The Company delivered adjusted EBITDA of $50.2 million. The strong first quarter profitability was primarily driven by higher prices for potash and Trio®, which averaged $703 per ton and $469 per ton, respectively, with higher realized prices more than offsetting lower potash sales volumes. We entered the year with fewer tons in inventory and less potash available in our ponds after the below-average 2021 production season, although partially offsetting this impact was the double-harvest of seven ponds at the HB facility.

Despite our reduced sales volumes as a result of fewer tons available and unfavorable weather in various parts of the U.S. in the first quarter which delayed planting, higher commodity prices supported application rates in most of our markets and we are well-positioned to meet our customer's needs as the spring season progresses.
Bob Jornayvaz, Intrepid's Executive Chairman and CEO commented: "In the backdrop of close-to-record high potash prices, Intrepid delivered exceptional first quarter results. In the Potash segment, gross margin totaled approximately $29 million, while in the Trio® segment, gross margin totaled approximately $16 million. Overall, the Company generated adjusted EBITDA of approximately $50 million, which is the best figure since the third quarter of 2012. We ended the quarter with roughly $60 million of cash on the balance sheet and no outstanding borrowings.
We believe the outlook for Intrepid for the remainder of 2022 and the next couple years is very positive as the supply-demand balance for potash should continue to support strong economics. On the supply side, the December 2021 sanctions on Belarus took effect in April and strong international pricing continues to absorb supply, which is helping create a US market with minimal excess swing capacity in the near-term. We are beginning multiple improvement projects at our potash facilities, including a new injection pipeline at HB, another potash cavern in Moab, and upgraded wells at our Wendover facility, which we expect will add production volume as early as the spring of 2023 and continue to increase through the next few evaporation seasons as our overall brine quality improves. We also continue to run additional underground shifts at our East mine to increase availability of our Trio® products. While potash prices remain elevated, we believe current crop prices should continue to drive steady demand in the US, and US potash prices are still at a record differential to Brazil. Looking into the back half of the year, as our potash production returns to more normal levels after the below-average 2021 evaporation year, our cost per ton should also improve, supporting strong cash flow generation."

Potash segment sales in the first quarter of 2022 increased 30% to $56.4 million compared to the same period in 2021. The higher revenue was primarily driven by a 149% increase in our average net realized sales price per ton to $703, despite potash sales volumes decreasing 41% year-over-year to 69k tons in the quarter as we entered the year with fewer tons in inventory and less potash available in our ponds after a below average 2021 production season. As a reminder, during the summer of 2021, the Carlsbad, New Mexico area, where our HB solar solution mining facility is located, experienced unusually wet, humid weather, which limited the evaporation and extraction rates at the HB mine. The significant rainfall and reduced evaporation resulted in fewer harvestable tons of potash from our HB solution ponds.
Compared to the prior year, segment byproduct sales in the quarter decreased by 17% to $4.8 million, which was driven by lower water and magnesium sales, partially offset by higher salt sales. Magnesium chlorides sales decreased compared to the prior year due to a mild winter which limited purchases of our deicing product in the first quarter of 2022. Salt sales increased compared to the prior year period due to growth in the industrial and pool salt markets and higher realized pricing. Potash production in Q1 2022 totaled 103k tons, a 9% decrease from the prior year period, and segment gross margin totaled $29.1 million, which was more than triple the $8.7 million generated in Q1 2021.
Potash pricing continues to be supported by tight supply and steady demand across our markets and we announced a $50 per ton price increase in April, which we expect to realize on spot sales in the second quarter of 2022. Current commodity prices continue to support application rates across most of our markets and we believe customers see good value in potash as we approach the end of the spring season.

Trio® segment sales of $41.1 million for the first quarter of 2022 were 73% higher compared to the prior year, driven by a higher average net realized sales price of $469 per ton in the quarter. Trio® sales volumes increased modestly to 71k tons as demand remained steady across our key markets and supply of granular and premium product remains very limited.

Our Trio® segment generated gross margin of $16.1 million, while the prior year period saw just below breakeven gross margin. Q1 2022 production volume of 65k tons was 16% higher compared to the prior year period as we continue to staff additional shifts underground to increase overall production.

In the first quarter of 2022, Oilfield Solutions sales were $7.0 million, a $2.7 million increase compared to the same period in 2021, which was primarily driven by higher fresh water sales, surface use agreement sales, brine water sales, and produced water royalties. Gross margin increased $1.5 million to just under $2.0 million. Increased sales were offset by higher costs of goods sold due to increased contract labor and rental expenses for water recycling equipment. We also incurred additional contract labor expenses and increased water transfers fees as we sold more water during the first quarter of 2022.
Liquidity
During the first quarter of 2022, cash provided by operations was $34.1 million, while cash used in investing activities was $7.7 million. As of April 30, 2022, we have approximately $80 million in cash and cash equivalents, no outstanding borrowings, and $74.0 million available to borrow under our revolving credit facility, for total liquidity of $154 million.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2022 AND 2021
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
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, adjusted net income 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 EBITDA
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (or adjusted EBITDA) is calculated as net income 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.
