Fourth-quarter sales volumes year over year saw 20% higher volumes in highway deicing product and a slight decline of 3% in consumer and industrial (C&I) salt product. Aggregate pricing for the segment was down 1% as a result of increased weighting of highway deicing volume in the current quarter, which saw a 1% and 7% increase in price per ton for highway deicing and C&I products, respectively. Operating income increased 2% to $21.5 million, while adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $40 million in each case from the prior-year period. These increases reflect a slight improvement in the company’s per ton cost structure year over year, with improvements in distribution costs offset by increased production costs.\n<\/p>\n \nFor the fiscal full-year 2025, Salt segment revenue was up 13% year over year to $1,022.5 million. A return to more normal winter weather in the North American deicing season led to a 20% increase in highway deicing sales volumes. C&I sales volumes were up 1%, reflecting an increase in retail consumer deicing sales offset by a decline in other product categories. The 3% decline in total Salt pricing was due to changes in sales mix and lower prices for highway deicing salt (down 2%), partially offset by higher C&I salt (up 4%). The Salt segment generated $145.9 million in operating income and adjusted EBITDA of $219.2 million, down 11% and 4%, respectively, year over year. As a result of the company’s decision to curtail production in 2024 to align inventory levels with business conditions, the salt segment’s adjusted EBITDA per ton declined to approximately $20.20 per ton in fiscal 2025, which is an 18% decrease from fiscal 2024 levels.\n<\/p>\n PLANT NUTRITION BUSINESS RECAP<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\nPlant Nutrition segment fourth-quarter revenue totaled $41.8 million, essentially flat year over year on a 9% decrease in sales volumes offset by an 8% increase in price. The segment had operating income of $6.2 million for the quarter, up from an operating loss of $29.7 million in the corresponding period last year. Adjusted EBITDA improved over the same period to $13.5 million from negative adjusted EBITDA of $(3.7) million. These increases reflect both improvement in the segment’s distribution costs per ton as well as lower production costs. The prior-year period also includes non-cash impairment costs.\n<\/p>\n \nFor the full fiscal year, the segment grew revenue 14% to $206.3 million, due to a 19% increase in sales volumes partially offset by a decline of 4% in sales price year over year. The increase in sales volumes during the year is a result of being able to pursue markets outside the company’s core western U.S. markets due to improved operational performance at the Ogden, Utah, facility. The segment had operating income of $6.5 million for the year versus an operating loss of $86.4 million in fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $34.9 million for the full year compared to $16.9 million in the prior year. Improvements in both operating income and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted to account for non-cash impairments, reflect an improvement in production costs tied to the company’s efforts to restore the Ogden site’s pond complex.\n<\/p>\n CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\nNet cash provided by operating activities amounted to $197.7 million for fiscal 2025, a significant improvement from the $14.4 million reported in the prior year. The improvement year over year reflects the company’s deliberate actions to curtail production and rationalize inventory levels, which allowed the company to convert excess inventory into cash during the year.\n<\/p>\n \nNet cash used in investing activities was $50.0 million for fiscal 2025, down $66.1 million year over year. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2025 were $69.7 million, which were intentionally reduced early in the year due to a slow start to the North American highway deicing season. These outflows were offset by proceeds of $19.6 million from the sale of the majority of assets and intellectual property associated with the company’s exit from the fire retardant business.\n<\/p>\n \nNet cash used in financing activities was $108.3 million for fiscal 2025, compared to $83.1 million provided by financing activities in the comparable prior-year period. Current year activities include net repayments of $77.0 million of debt and reflect the successful refinancing efforts completed during the year.\n<\/p>\n \nThe company ended the fiscal year with $59.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $304.9 million of availability under its $325.0 million revolving credit facility, resulting in available liquidity of $364.6 million.\n<\/p>\n FISCAL 2026 OUTLOOK<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n| \n Salt Segment Guidance<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2026 Range<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n \nHighway deicing sales volumes (thousands of tons)<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n8,000 – 8,400\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nConsumer and industrial sales volumes (thousands of tons)<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n1,650 – 1,900\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nTotal salt sales volumes (thousands of tons)<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n9,650 – 10,300\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nRevenue (in millions)<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$955 – $1,035\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nAdj.

It is important to distinguish between committed bid volumes, which are used to establish minimum and maximum service levels for certain customers, and expected sales volumes, which will be driven ultimately by winter weather activity in the coming year. Sales volumes can be above or below committed volumes in any given deicing season.\n<\/p>\n \nWhile demand for deicing salt is stable over time, the nature of winter weather and the manner in which customers respond to weather events make forecasting deicing sales volumes difficult during any single year. The company refined it’s process for forecasting volumes this year to more closely align its production, sales, and inventory processes. The company used a combination of factors, including historic relationships of sales-to-commitments, market data and historical weather-based trends. Based on the company’s current view of these factors, sales volumes are forecasted to decline approximately 8% at the midpoint of guidance. Ultimately, sales will be driven by winter weather and how that drives demand in served markets.\n<\/p>\n \nCompass Minerals expects that approximately 75% of its highway deicing sales will be achieved in the first half of the fiscal year.\n<\/p>\n \n\n| \n Plant Nutrition Segment Guidance<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2026 Range<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n \nSales volumes (thousands of tons)<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n290 – 310\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nRevenue (in millions)<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$190 – $205\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nAdj.

Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. We use words such as \u201cmay,\u201d \u201cwould,\u201d \u201ccould,\u201d \u201cshould,\u201d \u201cwill,\u201d \u201clikely,\u201d \u201cexpect,\u201d \u201canticipate,\u201d \u201cbelieve,\u201d \u201cintend,\u201d \u201cplan,\u201d \u201cforecast,\u201d \u201coutlook,\u201d \u201cproject,\u201d \u201cestimate\u201d and similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events to identify forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. These statements are based on the company\u2019s current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the company\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s business, see the \u201cRisk Factors\u201d and \u201cManagement\u2019s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations\u201d sections of the company\u2019s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended Sept. 30, 2025, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended Dec. 31, 2024, and March 31, 2025, and June 30, 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.<\/i><\/p>\n Non-GAAP Measures<\/span><\/b><\/p>\nIn addition to using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (\u201cGAAP\u201d) financial measures, management uses a variety of non-GAAP financial measures described below to evaluate the company\u2019s and its operating segments\u2019 performance. While the consolidated financial statements provide an understanding of the company\u2019s overall results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, management analyzes components of the consolidated financial statements to identify certain trends and evaluate specific performance areas.<\/i><\/p>\n Management uses EBITDA, EBITDA adjusted for items which management believes are not indicative of the company\u2019s ongoing operating performance (\u201cAdjusted EBITDA\u201d) and EBITDA margin to evaluate the operating performance of the company\u2019s 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 income. Management also uses adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted net income(loss) 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\u2019s 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 and 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 income, operating income, 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\u2019s results.<\/i><\/p>\n Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted net (loss) income, and adjusted net (loss) income per diluted share are presented as supplemental measures of the company\u2019s 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 (loss) income per diluted share is adjusted net (loss) income 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.<\/i><\/p>\n Items Impacting Comparability<\/span><\/b><\/p>\nComparability of reported results for Compass Minerals was impacted by the performance of Fortress, the company’s fire retardant business. It was announced in March 2025 that Compass Minerals was exiting this business. Non-cash gains related to the decline in value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the acquisition of Fortress were $7.9 million and $22.1 million, respectively, in 2025 and 2024.<\/i><\/p>\n The company’s presentation of adjusted EBITDA adjusts for loss on impairments; changes in the valuation of the contingent consideration liability are not adjusted out of reported adjusted EBITDA consistent with accounting guidance. Given the significance of the adjustment to the reported periods and for ease of comparability, the following table is provided to present the impact to adjusted EBITDA for changes in the valuation of the contingent consideration liability. As the fair value of this liability is zero as of Sept. 30, 2025, the following reconciliation is not expected in future reporting periods.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n| \n (in millions, except per share data)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Twelve Months Ended Sept. 30,<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2025<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2024<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nAdjusted EBITDA, as reported*<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n| \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n198.8\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n206.3\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nImpact of change in Fortress contingent consideration liability\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n(7.9\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n(22.1\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nAdjusted EBITDA, as modified\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n190.9\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n184.2\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \n*Non-GAAP financial measure.
