Discontinued Operations DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In March 2026, our Board approved the sale of Intrepid South, and the accounting criteria for classification as held for sale and discontinued operations were met. The sale closed on April 1, 2026. As a result, Intrepid South assets and liabilities are reported as held for sale as of December 31, 2025, and Intrepid South results of operations are reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025. The assets and liabilities held for sale were not measured at fair value as the expected selling price exceeded their net carrying value.

Contract Balances: Customers generally pay the total amount due under surface use agreements when the agreement is executed. Depending on the nature of the performance obligations in the various surface use agreements, revenue may be recognized at a point in time or over time. Our contract liabilities (sometimes referred to in practice as deferred revenue) represent the amount of cash we received from customers under surface use agreements at Intrepid South where the associated revenue is being recognized over time.
Under the terms of the Intrepid South sales agreement, we retained one-half of the $2.4 million contract liability balance as of March 31, 2026, and was included in the gain on the sale of Intrepid South, and the remaining one-half of the contract liability balance was included as an adjustment to the final sales price.
As of December 31, 2025, we had total contract liabilities of $2.5 million, of which $0.8 million was current and included in "Liabilities held for sale" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
