Compass Minerals hosted its fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter and full-year earnings call today, reporting total adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of $41.6 million, up from $15.6 million in the prior year.   

“Last year was a pivotal one for Compass Minerals, as we executed our back-to-basics strategy aimed at improving the performance of our core Salt and Plant Nutrition businesses. We aligned our North American highway deicing production with market conditions and executed several organizational, operational and financial actions to strengthen the business. As a result, Compass Minerals is a leaner and more resilient company today,” said Edward C. Dowling Jr., president and CEO. “With advantaged assets and a renewed focus on operational, commercial and financial performance, we are prioritizing stronger cash generation and the reduction of absolute debt. This combination positions Compass Minerals well to generate long-term value for shareholders.”

• Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 of $7.2 million, improved from a net loss of  $48.3 million in the comparable prior year period
