EBITDA: $31M

FINANCIAL POSITION

FINANCING

  • AMG Vanadium provided 46% of the Company's revenue for the quarter, while AMG Technologies and AMG Lithium generated 42% and 12%, respectively.
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased from the $118 million in Q1 2023 largely due to the decline in prices compared to the prior period.
  • Unrestricted cash: $285 million
  • Total net debt: $381 million
  • Total liquidity: $485 million
  • In April, AMG entered into a new $100 million incremental term loan with the same pricing, terms and 2028 maturity as the existing $350 million term loan. By adding to our senior secured term loan at existing terms,

we will have approximately $450 million of secured debt capital, providing significant financial flexibility for 2024 and beyond.

Revenue EBITDA

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • AMG Lithium's revenue decreased 68% compared to Q1 2023, largely driven by the decline in market prices, specifically lithium, since Q1 2023, as well as the unabsorbed fixed costs incurred during construction and commissioning of the SP1+ expansion project in Brazil in the current quarter
  • AMG Vanadium's revenue for Q1 2024 decreased by 15%, due primarily to lower sales prices in vanadium and chrome metal partially offset by increased volumes in vanadium
  • AMG Technologies' Q1 2024 revenue increased by 21% compared to
    Q1 2023, driven by strong revenues in our engineering unit, as well as higher sales volumes of silicon and higher sales prices of graphite and antimony, partially offset by lower volumes in antimony and lower sales prices of silicon

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Q1 2024 cash used in operating activities was $15 million, compared to cash from operating activities of $93 million in the same period in 2023; this decrease in operating cash flow was due to the lower sales prices during the current period
  • CAPEX of $37 million during Q1 2024 mainly reflects our investment into the battery-grade lithium hydroxide plant in Bitterfeld, Germany, as well as the expansion of our spodumene capacity in Brazil
  • Net loss attributable to shareholders decreased to $16 million for Q1 2024, due to the decreased profitability during the current quarter

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

  • In Brazil, the expansion of our lithium concentrate plant from 90,000 tons to 130,000 tons per annum is progressing as planned. We expect to reach full nameplate capacity of 130,000 tons in the fourth quarter of 2024.
  • In Bitterfeld, Germany, AMG's lithium hydroxide refinery's first 20,000-ton module is on schedule, both in its advanced commissioning and product qualification process. We plan to ship production batches to clients in the third quarter of 2024.
  • AMG Vanadium continues to implement its global satellite roasting strategy through the implementation of our recently acquired TTI technology.
  • The vanadium electrolyte plant at AMG Titanium in Nuremberg, Germany is in the final stages of completion. We expect to have nameplate capacity available by the second half of 2024 as part of the vertical integration into LIVA batteries.
  • Shell & AMG Recycling's (SARBV) "Supercenter" project in Saudi Arabia is in final stages of basic engineering for Phase 1. The joint venture has begun the selection process for financial advisors for nonrecourse project financing.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE (CONT'D)

  • In April, NewMOX SAS, Grenoble, France, was formed to service the nuclear fuel market. NewMOX is a subsidiary of ALD Vacuum Technologies GmbH, Hanau,
    Germany ("ALD"), AMG's engineering subsidiary focused on vacuum furnace technology, which includes sintering furnace systems enabling the production of commercial nuclear fuel from plutonium and depleted uranium (termed "MOX"). ALD's
    MOX technology has been applied in Germany, the United States, France, Belgium, the United Kingdom and recently ALD has been delivering such furnace systems to China.
  • AMG LIVA is engaged in the execution of several battery projects to optimize the energy management of industrial plants and incorporate renewable energy sources. In June we will celebrate the opening of a 4.5 MWh energy storage system shifting wind and solar energy for our customer Wipotec, a major industrial client. The system enables 80% self-sufficiency and is also used for peak shaving, process heating and cooling, EV charging and grid services.
