Intrepid Announces Third Quarter 2022 Results

Denver, CO, November 2, 2022 - Intrepid Potash, Inc. ("Intrepid", the "Company", "we", "us", "our") (NYSE:IPI) today reported its results for the third quarter of 2022.

Key Highlights for Third Quarter 2022

Financial & Operational

•Total sales of $74.8 million, an increase of $15.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2021, as potash and Trio® average net realized sales prices(1) increased to $734 and $488 per ton, respectively.

•Net income of $13.1 million (or $0.97 per diluted share), a $9.1 million improvement compared to the third quarter of 2021.

•Gross margin of $26.8 million, a $16.2 million improvement over the same prior year period.

•Cash flow used in operations was $14.1 million, as we refunded a customer's $32.6 million prepayment balance; absent this repayment, cash flow from operations would have totaled approximately $18.5 million in the third quarter of 2022.

•Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $27.0 million, which was a $13.9 million improvement over the same prior year period.

Liquidity

•In August 2022, we amended our revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the amount available under the facility from $75 million to $150 million, as well as extend the maturity date to August 2027.

•As of October 31, 2022, Intrepid had approximately $46 million in cash and cash equivalents and $149 million available under its revolving credit facility, for total liquidity of approximately $195 million.

Capital Investments & Growth Projects

•Incurred capital expenditures of $14.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 and expect full year 2022 capital investment to be in the range of $65 million to $75 million.

•Continued progress on projects to improve brine quality, increase production, and improve unit economics:

HB

◦Installation of an improved pipeline system to our HB Solar Solution Mine is progressing well, with the majority of the key infrastructure purchased and nearing delivery. The improved pipeline system should allow us to efficiently

1

produce additional solar tons and conduct the operations of our processing facilities at a lower cost. We expect to improve the injection rate capability of our pipeline system as early as Q1 2023, and expect greater flow rates within the improved pipeline system in H2 2023.

Moab

◦Drilling of an additional potash cavern in Moab to increase production tons through higher extraction brine grade; drilling expected to begin in mid-November and conclude in early 2023, in-time for the upcoming evaporation season.

Wendover

◦Upgrading brackish and deep-brine wells in Wendover to increase brine availability and better manage variability in weather and evaporation rates; new deep brine well also placed in-service Q4 2022.

Intrepid South

◦Continued development of sand mine opportunity on our strategically located Intrepid South property; targeting a late Q1 2023 startup, although ongoing supply chain issues and permitting uncertainty could delay first production to the second half of 2023.

Consolidated Results, Outlook, & Management Commentary

Intrepid generated third quarter 2022 sales of $74.8 million, which compares to third quarter 2021 sales of $59.2 million. Consolidated gross margin in third quarter of 2022 totaled $26.8 million, while net income totaled $13.1 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, which compares to third quarter 2021 net income of $4.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $68.2 million, which compares to net income of $26.0 million in the same prior year period. The Company delivered adjusted EBITDA of $27.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, bringing adjusted EBITDA during the first nine months of 2022 to $118.6 million. The strong profitability continues to be primarily driven by high prices for potash and Trio®, which averaged $734 per ton and $488 per ton, respectively, in the third quarter of 2022.

Bob Jornayvaz, Intrepid's Executive Chairman and CEO commented: "Intrepid continues to deliver strong execution in the backdrop of high fertilizer pricing and a broadly supportive agriculture market, with adjusted EBITDA of approximately $119 million in the first nine months of 2022 being 177% higher than the same prior year period. While farmer economics remain quite robust, we saw the trend of mostly just-in-time purchasing in agriculture markets continue through the third quarter and into the fall harvest. Moreover, lingering and persistent inflation in farmer cost inputs is driving some uncertainty, despite spot pricing for key crops remaining substantially higher than previous decade averages, with futures into the 2023 fall harvest and beyond also showing strength. Putting this together, while a more pronounced pickup in sales for

2

our potash and Trio® in the second half of 2022 has been slower than we previously expected for timing reasons, the demand is still robust and the outlook for agricultural and fertilizer markets into 2023 and longer-term remains overwhelmingly positive, with this view being supported by 71k shares repurchased in the third quarter under our $35 million share repurchase program."

Segment Highlights

Potash

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(in thousands, except per ton data)
Sales	$	42,354	$	31,673	$	147,622	$	112,944
Gross margin	$	19,872	$	4,525	$	73,862	$	23,329
Potash sales volumes (in tons)	46		62		172		270
Potash production volumes (in tons)	36		37		164		201
Average potash net realized sales price per ton(1)	$	734	$	381	$	718	$	319

Potash segment sales in the third quarter of 2022 increased 34% to $42.4 million when compared to the same period in 2021. The higher revenue was primarily driven by a 93% increase in our average net realized sales price per ton to $734, which compares to $381 per ton in the prior year period. The higher average net realized sales price per ton offset lower potash sales volumes, which totaled 46k tons, a 26% decrease from the third quarter of 2021.

Potash segment gross margin totaled $19.9 million, which compares to $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. While we sold 26% fewer tons of potash in the third quarter of 2022, our cost of goods sold per ton was higher due to an increase in certain potash production costs, such as natural gas and electricity, caused by inflation, which had a negative impact on segment gross margin in the third quarter of 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, potash segment sales totaled $147.6 million, which was 31% higher than the same prior year period, with the average net realized sales price per ton of $718 offsetting lower potash sales volumes of 172k tons. During the same prior year period, potash segment tons sold totaled 270k tons at an average net realized sales price per ton of $319.

Potash segment gross margin totaled $73.9 million tons in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which was 217% higher than the same prior year period. Similar to the comments above, despite the increase in gross margin year-over year for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, inflationary factors negatively impacted segment gross margin, in addition

to higher production costs related to below average evaporation rates across our facilities in 2021.

During the third quarter of 2022, our potash segment sales into agriculture markets comprised 61% of sales, while sales into feed and industrial markets totaled 28% and 11%, respectively. In agriculture markets, potash sales continue to be impacted by just-in-time purchasing, some uncertainty around fall grower demand as the fall harvest wraps up, and carryover inventory from the Spring, leading to reduced needs to restock potash inventory for immediate application.

Third quarter 2022 potash production totaled 36k tons, which compares to 37k tons produced in the same prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, potash production totaled 164k tons, which was 37k tons lower than the same prior year period, owing to below average evaporation rates across our facilities in 2021.

Trio®

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(in thousands, except per ton data)
Sales	$	24,043	$	20,827	$	100,561	$	71,444
Gross margin	$	6,503	$	5,436	$	35,694	$	8,528
Trio®sales volume (in tons)	39		46		169		191
Trio® production volume (in tons)	52		56		175		175
Average Trio® net realized sales price per ton(1)	$	488	$	336	$	482	$	271

Trio® segment sales of $24.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 were $3.2 million higher compared to the same prior year period, driven by a higher average net realized sales price per ton of $488 in the quarter, which was 45% higher than the third quarter of 2021. The higher sales price helped offset lower Trio® sales volumes, which totaled 39k tons, and compares to 46k tons in the same prior year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Trio® segment sales totaled $100.6 million, which was 41% higher than the same prior year period. The higher sales were driven by a 78% increase in our average net realized sales price per ton to $482, with the higher pricing offsetting lower sales volumes compared to the prior year.

Trio® segment gross margin totaled $6.5 million in Q3 2022, an increase of $1.1 million from Q3 2021, while Trio® segment gross margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $35.7 million, which compares to $8.5 million in gross margin generated in the prior year period. Despite the higher year-over-year segment gross margin for both the third quarter of 2022 and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred increased labor costs as

4

we operated an additional underground shift at our East facility, while other production costs also increased due to continued inflationary pressure.

During the third quarter of 2022, domestic Trio® sales were impacted from buyers working through Spring carryover inventory, while purchases are mostly being deferred as distributors are reluctant to commit to inventory at current price levels given the seasonality of most Trio® applications.

In our Trio® segment, production totaled 52k tons in Q3 2022, which was 4k tons lower than the 56k tons produced in Q3 2021, while for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Trio® production totaled 175k tons, which was flat from the same prior year period.

Oilfield Solutions

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
	(in thousands)
Sales	$	8,423	$	6,708	$	22,936	$	14,293
Gross margin	$	395	$	647	$	6,201	$	2,058

Our oilfield solutions segment sales increased $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, due to a $1.0 million increase in water sales, a $0.4 million increase in surface use, rights-of-way and easement revenues, and a $0.5 million increase in brine water sales. The increase in sales of our oilfield solutions products was due to the increased oil and gas activities as oil prices were generally higher in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Our cost of goods sold increased $2.0 million, or 32%, for the third quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, due to increased volumes of third-party water purchased to meet customer water demand, increased royalty expense due to increased water revenues and increased fuel and electrical costs caused by inflationary pressures. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 decreased $0.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2021, due to the factors discussed above.

Our oilfield solutions segment sales increased $8.6 million, or 60%, during the first nine months of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, due to a $3.8 million increase in water sales, a $2.7 million increase in surface use, rights-of-way and easement revenues, a $1.4 million increase in brine water sales, a $0.6 million increase in produced water royalty revenues, and a $0.2 million increase in surface minerals sales. Our cost of goods sold increased during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021, due to purchasing more third-party water to meet customer demand, increased water transfer costs as we sold more water, increased contract labor related to the development of a full-cycle water management

5

operation, increased royalty expense as water revenues increased, and increased fuel and electrical expenses due to continued inflation.

Liquidity

During the third quarter of 2022, cash used in operations was approximately $14.1 million, while cash used in investing activities was approximately $14.8 million. During the third quarter, we refunded a customer's $32.6 million prepayment balance which was the primary driver of the cash outflow. As of October 31, 2022, we had approximately $46 million in cash and cash equivalents, no outstanding borrowings, and $149 million available to borrow under our revolving credit facility, for total liquidity of roughly $195 million.

(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 Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are calculated as net income or income per diluted share adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period, as set forth in the reconciliation below. Intrepid considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful because they allow for period-to-period comparisons of its operating results excluding items that Intrepid believes are not indicative of its fundamental ongoing operations.

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.
