Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. We use words such as “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “likely,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “project, ” “estimate” and similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events to identify forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. These statements are based on the company's current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially. The differences could be caused by a number of factors, including without limitation (i) weather conditions, (ii) pressure on prices and impact from competitive products, (iii) any inability by the company to fund necessary capital expenditures or successfully implement any capital projects, (iv) foreign exchange rates and the cost and availability of transportation for the distribution of the company’s products, (v) any inability by the company to successfully implement its cost-savings initiatives, and (vi) the effects of changes in the company’s management. Forfurther information on these and other risks and uncertainties that may affect the company’s business, see the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 filed with the SEC. The company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this presentation to reflect future events or developments.

• The right specialty nutrition at the right time and rate maximizes the potential ROI for every seed

• The “Law of Minimums” states that performance is rate limited by the most limited nutrient

• Important to ensure micronutrients are not neglected

Macro Factors Support Our Specialty and Geographic Focus

Underlying macro drivers point to continued long term growth in Ag• Population growth • Decline in arable land per capita • Increased meat consumption

Arable land limitation and climate shock necessitate yield improvements to bolster production

Micronutrients are expected to outpace traditional seed and crop protection markets by 3-4% annually in the medium term

Global micronutrient market is expected to grow from $6.1B in 2017 to $9.8B in 2023

U.S. and Brazil are leading crop producers in our key target markets

Cumulative Snow Events by Winter Season*

Margin Performance Improving

• Strong deicing demand for highway and consumer products in North America driven by above-average winter weather in 1Q19

• Additional upside in 1Q19 provided by:

- Extended shipping period on the Great Lakes and river systems

- Better-than-expected production at both North America salt mines

- Strong commercial execution to maximize in-season opportunities in both highway deicing and consumer and industrial sales

• Achieved significant margin expansion vs. 1Q18

• Goderich mine performing well following March shutdown *The number of snow events in 11 cities in Compass Minerals’ primary North American deicing region compared

with the 10-year average number of snow events, which is the mean number of snow events for the periods ended in the 2017-2018 season as well as two prior winters.

2Q19 EBITDA

2Q19 Outlook (as of April 30, 2019)

• Salt segment expected to generate increased EBITDA on lower revenue compared to 2Q18 results due to improved pricing and North American mine production

• Plant Nutrition North America sales beginning to improve, unlikely to fully recover 1Q19 volume shortfall due to shortened planting season

- Full-year market conditions for key crops remain attractive

• Plant Nutrition South America segment expects year-over-year second quarter growth in sales through increased agriculture B2B sales
