Compass Minerals reports Q1 non-GAAP EPS 43cc, consensus 26c

Reports Q1 revenue $396.1M vs. $307.2M last year. “Compass Minerals (CMP) delivered a strong opening quarter to fiscal 2026. Robust winter weather supported performance in our Salt segment, while higher pricing and cost-structure improvements drove meaningful margin expansion in our Plant Nutrition segment,” said CEO Edward Dowling Jr. “Based on solid performance in Salt and positive momentum in Plant Nutrition, partially offset by the strategic decision to sell our Wynyard sulfate of potash facility, we are increasing our full-year total company adjusted EBITDA guidance by 2% at the midpoint of the range. We reduced total net debt by 10% year over year – more than $90M. We remain focused on strengthening operational, commercial, and financial execution to enhance cash-flow generation and further reduce net debt. Looking ahead, we see meaningful opportunities to build on this momentum and enhance long-term value for our shareholders.”
