Forward Guidance

Intrepid expects robust cash flow from operations will continue in the second quarter. Above-average evaporation at our potash facilities during the summer of 2020 will extend our production season into the second quarter and will allow us to meet the continued strong demand for fertilizer. Oilfield activity continues to improve in the Delaware Basin with rig counts and permits steadily increasing throughout the first quarter which we expect will lead to improved oilfield segment results in future periods.
