Delivering on Key Strategic Priority
•Over the past two years, our key strategic priority has been to revitalize our potash assets to reverse the declining production trend. This involved numerous projects at our Hb, Moab, and Wendover facilities, with the key goals being twofold: first, help maximize our brine availability; and second, increase our residence time to develop higher-grade brine. Successfully accomplishing both goals leads to higher potash production, which drives top-line growth through increased sales volumes, but more importantly, also leads to a significant improvement in our unit economics. As part of the potash asset revitalization process, we are pleased to announce that in the third quarter of 2024 we successfully completed our largest project, Phase Two of the Hb Brine Injection Pipeline. Moreover, our total company potash production has started to inflect higher, with the improvement in our unit economics evident in our third quarter results.
◦控制支出,同时继续在我们认为对长期成功至关重要的领域进行投资。Driving Operational & Cost Efficiencies: Owing to efficiencies from the two continuous miners placed into service in 2023 and the operation of our fine langbeinite recovery system, we continue to see improvements in our production rates and cost structure compared to the prior year. For the first nine months of 2024, our Trio® cost of goods sold per ton was approximately $280, which compares to approximately $328 per ton in the prior year period. For 2024, we

Consolidated Results, Management Commentary, & Outlook
In the third quarter of 2024, Intrepid generated sales of $5750万, a 6% increase from third quarter 2023 sales of $5450万. Consolidated gross margin totaled $770万, while net loss totaled $180万, or a net loss of $0.14 per diluted share, which compares to our third quarter 2023 net loss of $720万, or $0.56 per diluted share. The Company delivered adjusted EBITDA(1) of $1000万, a $780万 increase from the same prior year period. Our third quarter 2024 average net 实现销售价格(1) 钾肥和Trio® 平均分别为$356和$312美元/吨,分别相比去年的$433和$298美元/吨 第三 2023年第一季度。
Our total sales in the potash segment increased $80万 in the third quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, as potash segment byproduct sales increased $100万, partially offset by a $30万 decrease in potash sales. Our potash segment byproducts increased due to an increase in brine sales as we sold more barrels of brine at a higher average price during the third quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, due to continued solid oilfield activity in the Permian Basin.
Our potash sales decreased in the third quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, as our average net realized sales price per ton decreased 18%, although this was mostly offset by a 17% increase in sales volumes. Our sales volumes increased owing to higher potash production that started in the second quarter of 2024, resulting in more available tons of potash to sell going into the summer months.
Despite lower pricing in the third quarter of 2024, our potash segment gross margin increased by $70万 to $410万, which was driven by higher sales volumes, an improvement in our cost of goods sold per ton, and a smaller lower of cost or net realizable value inventory adjustment compared to the prior year.
Our cost of goods sold increased $370万, or 105%, in the third quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, as we purchased more third-party water for resale related to the large frac at Intrepid South.
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2024 increased $170万 compared to the same period in 2023, due to the factors discussed above.
