Executive summary

  • Net sales rose to $151.3 million, up from $140.1 million year-over-year, driven by higher sales volumes and improved pricing for UAN and AN products, though net income declined to $3.0 million from $9.6 million due to higher natural gas costs.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $38.3 million, down from $41.9 million, reflecting increased operating costs despite higher sales.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
