Intrepid Potash Inc., Denver, reported improved second-quarter results citing higher potash prices and strong domestic Trio volumes, with the latter offset by a challenging international market and reduced production schedule. Water demand continued to be called solid.
The company reported a loss of $1 million ($0.01 per share), though it was an improvement over the year-ago loss of $5.9 million ($0.05 per share). Net sales were $51 million, up from the year-ago $45 million.
