OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Compass Minerals (NYSE: CMP), a leading global provider of essential minerals, today reported fiscal 2026 second-quarter results. The company also announced that unionized employees at its Goderich mine have ratified a new three-year collective bargaining agreement.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nMANAGEMENT COMMENTARY<\/span><\/b><\/p>

\n\u201cConsistent with our Back-to-Basics framework, during the quarter we took a significant step in strengthening our balance sheet by retiring the remaining $150 million of senior unsecured notes due in 2027 and removing our nearest debt maturity,\u201d said Edward C. Dowling Jr., president and CEO. \u201cWe had a strong winter across much of North America, and our Salt platform delivered on a high level of sales commitments while continuing to realize pricing gains. Our Plant Nutrition segment delivered another strong quarter at Ogden, with meaningful year-over-year improvement in cost performance and margins. Total company adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $86.4 million, bringing us to $151.7 million for the first half of the year and on track to achieve our full-year outlook. We increased our Plant Nutrition guidance to reflect the strong results we continue to see in that operation, including higher expected sales volumes, better pricing and lower costs. We decreased our Salt guidance to reflect the differences in regional and product sales mix relative to forecast. Additionally, while we are seeing improvements in mine-level product costs, we have not yet achieved the level of production and efficiency gains in our mining operations that we had expected earlier in the year.<\/p>

\n\u201cGoderich mine is important for Compass Minerals, and I am pleased that we reached a new three-year agreement with the represented workforce. We believe we have struck a mutually beneficial arrangement that allows us to continue building upon the safe and reliable operations while allowing us to take steps to improve the mine's efficiency and flexibility.<\/p>

\n\u201cThe hard work being done across the company is beginning to bear fruit. Some of this is manifesting itself currently in our financial results, while other initiatives will take a little more time. We know what we need to do and we are heading in the right direction, but there is more work to be done. We remain focused on reducing debt, improving our operations in all areas of the company, and building long-term value for shareholders.\u201d<\/p>
