Intrepid Potash announces the sale of Intrepid South Ranch

As total consideration, under the Agreement, Intrepid received a payment of US$70 million from HydroSource, which includes an US$8 million deposit we received in December 2025. The sale of the Ranch includes approximately 21 793 acres of fee land; 27 858 acres associated with federal grazing leases; water rights located on the Ranch; and various other assets, interests, and related agreements (all collectively ‘the Assets’). The Assets comprise most of the operations in Intrepid’s oilfield solutions segment.

Kevin Crutchfield, Intrepid’s CEO, commented: “One of our ongoing initiatives is maximising the value of our assets, and the sale of the Intrepid South Ranch reflects this strategic priority. While the Ranch has been a stable source of revenue, trends in the Delaware Basin made it clear we were not the best, long-term owner of this asset; rather it was a noncore asset in our fertilizer portfolio, and its sale will allow us to continue to prioritise our focus on our core assets and increasing our potash and Trio^® production to improve our unit economics.

“By selling Intrepid South, we were also able to accelerate decades of cash flow into a single transaction, while our deferred tax assets help shelter us from most of the related income taxes. Overall, we view the sale of the Ranch as a significant win for our shareholders at a time when these types of assets are being consolidated across West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. As a result of the net proceeds from the sale, Intrepid will benefit from increased financial flexibility to invest in its existing core business and other value enhancing opportunities. Our capital allocation strategy continues to focus on high-return investments to improve our operating efficiencies, reduce costs, and extend mine life; attractive growth opportunities closely aligned with our core operations; maintaining a strong balance sheet; and returning excess capital to shareholders as appropriate.”

Raymond James acted as the financial advisor and Lewis Ringelman acted as legal advisor to Intrepid in connection with this transaction.
