Compass Minerals reported above-average winter weather in its primary North American service areas for the first quarter of 2018 and the full 2017-2018 winter season.

“Our sales this quarter not only benefited from a return to more typical winter weather in North America, but also from a strong winter in the U.K.,” said Fran Malecha, Compass Minerals’ president and CEO. “While fundamentals look to be improving for highway deicing salt in many of our markets, our full-year salt volume guidance remains unchanged as we progress through this year’s North American highway deicing bid season and continue ramping up production with continuous mining and haulage at our Goderich mine.”
