Unless otherwise noted, it should be assumed that time periods referenced below are on a fiscal-year basis.
MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
"Compass Minerals continues to make progress on its back-to-basics strategy, a key tenet of which is optimization. This is a core principle that we will prioritize as we continue on our path to become a more efficient and profitable organization, and we must apply it in all aspects of our business," said Edward C. Dowling Jr., president and CEO. "The second quarter provides an opportunity to illustrate the benefits that can be derived from focusing on that tenet as well as explain steps we are taking to further optimize the business."
"Last year at this time, we laid out a plan to curtail mining production aimed at reducing and optimizing salt inventory levels throughout the 2024/2025 North American highway deicing season. While this would result in higher costs for a period of time, successful execution on that plan would allow us to convert excess inventory into cash and contribute to improving the supply/demand balance in a market that was long supply following consecutive weak winters. Fast forward to today, I'm pleased to report that we executed well against our plan. We realized a working capital release of nearly
"In late March of this year, we announced actions to further optimize the cost structure of the company and focus its activities on its core Salt and Plant Nutrition businesses. The company eliminated over
"Compass Minerals has exceptional and unique assets that are virtually irreplaceable, enjoy durable competitive advantages and have strong leadership positions in our respective marketplaces. As we continue to execute on our back-to-basics strategy, we will unlock the intrinsic value of our business."

COMMENTARY ON ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY
Comparability of reported results for Compass Minerals was impacted by the performance of Fortress North America (Fortress), the company's fire retardant business. It was announced in late March of 2025 that Compass Minerals was winding down this business. The company has recognized non-cash impairments related to Fortress of
The company's presentation of adjusted EBITDA adjusts for loss on impairments; changes in the valuation of the contingent consideration liability are not adjusted out of reported adjusted EBITDA consistent with accounting guidance. Given the significance of the adjustment to the reported periods and for ease of comparability, the following table is provided to present the impact to adjusted EBITDA for changes in the valuation of the contingent consideration liability. As the fair value of this liability is zero as of March 31, 2025, the following reconciliation is not expected in future reporting periods.

SALT BUSINESS COMMENTARY
Reducing North American highway deicing salt inventory volumes has been a focus for Compass Minerals, which led to the company's decision to curtail production at its Goderich mine, and to a lesser extent at the Cote Blanche mine, in 2024. This curtailment of production resulted in higher cost production per ton, due to lower fixed cost absorption, being inventoried throughout 2024. As the company sells this higher cost 2024 inventory, there is an adverse impact to cost per ton that is reflected in the financial results below. Consistent with prior comments, Compass Minerals believes the benefits from reducing excess inventory, including harvesting working capital tied up inventory and contributing to a rebalancing of supply across the market, outweigh the near-term production cost per ton impacts from curtailing production. The company made significant progress on this front in the quarter, with North American highway deicing inventory values and volumes down

Forward-Looking Statements and Other Disclaimers
This press release may contain forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements about future efficiency and profitability, reduction of salt inventory volumes, cost optimization, Fortress North America wind down, cash flow, deleveraging, competitive advantages, efforts to unlock intrinsic value, the opportunity to and potential benefits of refinancing, and the company's outlook for 2025, including its expectations regarding sales volumes, revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, interest expense, tax rates, and capital expenditures. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. The company uses words such as “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “likely,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “project,” “estimate” and similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events to identify forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. These statements are based on the company’s current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially. The differences could be caused by a number of factors, including without limitation (i) weather conditions, (ii) inflation, the cost and availability of transportation for the distribution of the company’s products and foreign exchange rates, (iii) pressure on prices and impact from competitive products, and (iv) any inability by the company to successfully implement its strategic priorities or its cost-saving or enterprise optimization initiatives. For further information on these and other risks and uncertainties that may affect the company’s business, see the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the company’s Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended Sept. 30, 2024, and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended Dec. 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, filed or to be filed with the SEC, as well as the company's other SEC filings. The company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect future events or developments, except as required by law. Because it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, this list cannot be considered a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to using
Management uses EBITDA, EBITDA adjusted for items which management believes are not indicative of the company’s ongoing operating performance (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and EBITDA margin to evaluate the operating performance of the company’s core business operations because its resource allocation, financing methods and cost of capital, and income tax positions are managed at a corporate level, apart from the activities of the operating segments, and the operating facilities are located in different taxing jurisdictions, which can cause considerable variation in net earnings. Management also uses adjusted operating earnings, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted net earnings per diluted share, which eliminate the impact of certain items that management does not consider indicative of underlying operating performance. The presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide management and investors with additional information that is helpful when evaluating underlying performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization, each of which are an essential element of the company’s cost structure and cannot be eliminated. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin exclude certain cash and non-cash items, including stock-based compensation, impairment charges and certain restructuring charges. Consequently, any measure that excludes these elements has material limitations. The non-GAAP financial measures used by management should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, operating earnings, cash flows or other financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of overall profitability or liquidity. These measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. The calculation of non-GAAP financial measures as used by management is set forth in the following tables. All margin numbers are defined as the relevant measure divided by sales. The company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP, as the company is unable to estimate significant non-recurring, unusual items and/or distinct non-core initiatives without unreasonable effort. The amounts and timing of these items are uncertain and could be material to the company’s results.
Adjusted operating earnings, adjusted operating earnings margin, adjusted net earnings (loss), and adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share are presented as supplemental measures of the company’s performance. Management believes these measures provide management and investors with additional information that is helpful when evaluating underlying performance and comparing results on a year-over-year normalized basis. These measures eliminate the impact of certain items that management does not consider indicative of underlying operating performance. These adjustments are itemized below. Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share is adjusted net earnings (loss) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. You are encouraged to evaluate the adjustments itemized above and the reasons management considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating these measures you should be aware that in the future the company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments presented below.
