Alcoa Corporation Announces $65 Million Capital Investment in Mosjøen

Alcoa Corporation Announces $65 Million Capital Investment in Mosjøen

PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Alcoa Corporation (NYSE: AA, ASX: AAI) (“Alcoa” or the “Company”), today announced a $65 million investment to expand foundry production capabilities to include recycled content in the casting process at its Mosjøen smelter in Norway.

The investment provides strategic benefits to the Company by further delivering low-carbon aluminum products that our customers demand in a key market, while incorporating post consumer recycled aluminum into its products for the first time.

Since 2020, Alcoa has invested approximately $180 million in sustaining and return-seeking capital projects at the smelter. This additional investment of $65 million will expand and upgrade the Mosjøen casthouse, increasing production capacity by up to 75,000 metric tons.

The investment reflects Alcoa’s response to evolving customer requirements, including recycled‑content expectations in the automotive and packaging sectors, while strengthening its competitive position in Europe.

The investment introduces a new open mold foundry casting line, melting furnaces and additional casthouse improvements that will enable Mosjøen to increase production capacity. The upgrade will also enable a broader foundry alloy portfolio, offering greater flexibility in ingot size and format, expanded alloy diversity, and enhanced recycled content capabilities.

“This investment places Alcoa at the forefront of delivering low-carbon aluminum while creating long-term value for our customers and shareholders,” Alcoa President and CEO, William F. Oplinger. “The increased capacity, combined with recycling capabilities, positions Mosjøen as a cornerstone of low-carbon aluminum supply across Europe.”

Mosjøen is one of the largest industrial employers in Northern Norway, with more than 700 direct employees and significant regional impact. The investment will help secure long-term activity, jobs and expertise in the Helgeland region, while also supporting local suppliers and contributing to broader industrial value creation in Norway. As a key part of the European aluminum value chain, Mosjøen plays an important role in delivering materials to the EU market.

Stable and predictable framework conditions, including competitive long-term power arrangements, underpin the site’s competitiveness and support continued investment.

The upgrade project is expected to be completed in phases, with commissioning and ramp-up scheduled to progress throughout 2028.

Lotus Unveils Focus 2030 – Reinforcing Brand DNA with an All-New Hybrid-V8 Supercar

  • Focus 2030 targets market competitiveness and sustainable business operations through brand reinforcement and unification, close partner collaboration, financial discipline, and multi-powertrain strategy.
  • New proprietary X-Hybrid performance technology will be the first of its kind to come to market in Europe in Q4 2026, with more than 1,000 orders in China in the first month for Eletre X – showing early momentum.
  • Type 135 confirmed as an all-new hybrid-V8 supercar coming to market in 2028, reaffirming Lotus’ performance DNA.

NEW YORK, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lotus Technology Inc. (“Lotus Tech” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LOT), a leading global intelligent and luxury mobility provider, today announced Focus 2030 for Lotus, an evolved business strategy designed to underpin its competitiveness and transformation into a more flexible and sustainable business model ensuring market resilience amid external headwinds.

Built on four core pillars, including brand reinforcement, a multi-powertrain strategy, close partner collaboration, and financial discipline, the strategy marks a significant reset for the brand.

Mr. Qingfeng Feng, Chief Executive Officer of Lotus Tech, said, “Lotus was born from the rebellious spirit of Colin Chapman, and that is not lost today. Focus 2030 will reset both the brand and the business, keeping us true to our DNA. We are obsessed with engineering, performance and building drivers’ cars, and that is what will grow this business.”


Protecting What Makes Lotus, Lotus


Focus 2030 puts the Lotus DNA at the heart of every decision. Regardless of product or powertrain, every Lotus has been, and will be, developed against the same set of guiding principles: lightweight design, aerodynamics, obsessive engineering, and driver engagement.

Lotus has been instrumental in shaping automotive culture for 78 years – redefining the limits of performance in racing and building the most engaging road cars in the world. This continues under Focus 2030, with design and engineering rooted in the UK, home of the brand’s identity and motorsport expertise, and R&D in China to deliver rapid scale to market.


Multi-Powertrain Strategy, Built Around the Customer


As regulatory and consumer landscapes continue to evolve globally at different speeds, Lotus will pursue an agile approach across ICE (internal combustion engine), PHEV (hybrid electric vehicle), and BEV (battery electric vehicle), targeting an approximately 60:40 mix between PHEV and BEV volume mix over its electrified portfolio in the interim, and a customer-led transition to full electrification.

Hybrid technology will play a central role, serving specific customer needs. First to come is X-Hybrid, a unique blend of ICE and BEV performance expertise that delivers long-range, flexibility, and practicality alongside sustained high performance and Lotus’ trademark driver engagement.

Lotus’ proprietary X-Hybrid technology was first launched on Eletre, as Eletre X (known as “For Me” in China). Customer deliveries have started in China, and early vehicle reception has been positive, with more than 1,000 orders placed in the first month alone. Customer deliveries in Europe are expected to begin in Q4 2026, making it the first of its kind to come to market.

Reaffirming the brand’s performance DNA, the next development of Lotus’ proprietary hybrid technology will be the unveiling of its first-ever supercar, Type 135 (also known as “Vision X”), planned for delivery in 2028. This will be an all-new car, featuring a V8 hybrid powertrain, with over 1000PS. It is expected to be manufactured in Europe, with further details to be announced later this year.

Emira continuity is confirmed, reflecting both Lotus’ commitment to manufacturing in the UK and sustained consumer demand for its combustion-engine sportscars. The company will reveal an update in the coming weeks, designed to be the most powerful and lightest Emira ever built.

Lotus’ BEV portfolio, Eletre (SUV), Emeya (GT), and Evija (Hypercar), remains a core pillar of the business, having brought new customers to the marque and broadened its commercial foundation. Lotus was an early adopter of 800V architecture through its electric SUV and GT offerings and remains committed to continued BEV innovation.


Built to Compete Globally


Lotus’ close collaboration with its major shareholder, Geely Holding Group, is central to Focus 2030. The two businesses are working together on technology development, supply-chain competitiveness, and manufacturing efficiencies to increase go-to-market speed, global scale, and margin resilience.

The partnership gives Lotus access to world-class electrification capabilities and resources, while Lotus contributes its globally recognized performance engineering expertise and brand equity to Geely Holding Group’s portfolio.

Underpinning this is the planned integration of Lotus UK and Lotus Tech into a single entity, which is expected to unify the brand, streamline governance, reduce costs, and accelerate engineering integration for next-generation performance vehicles.

Daniel Li, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Lotus Tech, and Executive Vice Chairman of Geely Holding Group, said, “Geely has believed in Lotus from the beginning, and that belief has not wavered. We are committed to giving Lotus the resources it deserves to compete at the highest level. What Lotus brings is irreplaceable, and Focus 2030 is proof that we take that responsibility seriously. We are excited for the next chapter in the brand’s story.”


Restoring Financial Discipline


Focus 2030 sets a clear commercial direction for the business, with a focus on targeted volumes, stronger margins, and greater emphasis on personalization. Lotus is guiding towards a steady ramp-up to 30,000 sales units annually as its full model line-up stabilizes, enabling the business to reach sustained profitability.

Over the last year, Lotus has made significant improvements across its entities to increase operational efficiency. Lotus Tech has also increased cost optimization and operational efficiency, as demonstrated by its improved margins in its full-year 2025 results.

The Company has targeted a clear and diverse strategy across its core markets:

  • China – the primary volume growth engine, leveraging strong demand for premium new energy vehicles (NEV).
  • Europe – building on racing heritage and British engineering brand equity across a diverse powertrain portfolio.
  • North America – strategy anchored in sports cars, with a new SUV market opportunity in Canada.
  • APAC and Middle East – foundations have been developed, and the brand is now active in 25 markets across the region, providing opportunities to reach new customers with its entire product portfolio.

About Lotus Technology Inc. 

Lotus Technology Inc. has operations across the UK, the EU and China. The Company is dedicated to delivering luxury lifestyle electric vehicles, with a focus on world-class R&D in next-generation automobility technologies such as electrification, digitalization and more.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics

Financial Measures

In order to better help understand our financial performance, we use several key operating metrics that should be viewed independently of GAAP items, as these metrics are not intended to be combined with those items. Our determination and presentation of these metrics may differ from that of other companies. The presentation of these metrics is meant to be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, our financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.


Key Operating Metrics

Ecosystem Volume

We define Ecosystem Volume as the total of Consumer Loan Marketplace Volume and Digital Asset Marketplace Volume.

Consumer Loan Marketplace Volume

We define Consumer Loan Marketplace Volume as the total U.S. dollar equivalent value of originations of HELOCs, DSCR, and personal loans on our LOS, as well as the volume of third-party loans traded on Figure Connect. We believe this measure is an indication of our scale and represents the potential revenue opportunity from the technology used for consumer credit loan originations.

Net Take Rate

Net Take Rate is derived from the sum of ecosystem and technology fees, origination fees, gain on sale of loans, net and gain on servicing asset, net from our consolidated statement of operations. These items represent revenue generated from Figure-branded and Partner-branded volume. Valuation changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights, which we believe is not indicative of operating performance, and marketing expenses in our operating expenses are deducted. This net amount is divided by overall Consumer Loan Marketplace Volume for that period.

$YLDS In Circulation

We define $YLDS in Circulation as the total U.S. dollar equivalent value of unsecured face-amount certificates solely backed by the assets of Figure Certificate Company (FCC), which is the issuer of the certificates. This is reported as an end of period outstanding balance.

Matched Offers

We define Matched Offers as the U.S. dollar equivalent value of offers matched between borrower and lenders on the Democratized Prime platform. This is reported as an end of period outstanding balance.

Borrower Demand

We define Borrower Demand as the U.S. dollar equivalent value that borrowers seek to borrow from the lending pool on the Democratized Prime platform. This is reported as an end of period outstanding balance.

Available Lender Supply

We define Lender Supply as the U.S. dollar equivalent value that lenders have made available in the lending pool on the Democratized Prime platform. This is reported as an end of period outstanding balance.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Revenue

Adjusted Net Revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure used by our management to evaluate operating performance. Accordingly, we believe this measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In addition, Adjusted Net Revenue provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of a non-cash, non-realized adjustment that is included in net revenue. Adjusted Net Revenue is defined as net revenue excluding the change in fair value of MSR and change in fair value of marketable securities associated with changes in our estimates that management has determined are not reflective of our operating performance, and net of interest paid to holders of YLDS.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures used by our management to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, we believe these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. In addition, these measures provide useful information for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash items, variable charges, non-recurring items, unrealized gains or losses or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income or expenses associated with the early stages of the business that are expected to ultimately terminate, pursuant to the terms of certain existing contractual arrangements or expected to continue at levels materially below the historical level, or that otherwise do not contribute directly to management’s evaluation of its operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest expense incurred in connection with our debt obligations other than debt associated with our funding of loans held for sale, income taxes, amortization and depreciation expense, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash changes in certain financial instruments, and other items that management has determined are not reflective of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by adjusted net revenue. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income margin (calculated as net income divided by total net revenue).

The Company added valuation changes in the fair value of marketable securities and YLDS funding costs to its definition of Adjusted Net Revenue, and valuation changes in the fair value of marketable securities, to its definition of Adjusted EBITDA effective March 31, 2026 Prior period amounts presented in the reconciliation table below have been recast to reflect the current methodology to facilitate period-over-period comparability.

Management excludes period-to-period changes in the fair value of marketable securities from Adjusted Net Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA because they reflect non-cash, unrealized mark-to-market fluctuations driven by external market factors, including changes in discount rates, prepayment speeds, and credit spreads, that are not reflective of the Company’s underlying operating performance.

The Company’s economic benefit from YLDS is the 35 basis point spread it retains on outstanding balances, regardless of the total amount of YLDS in circulation. Management therefore presents YLDS-related interest expense net of associated interest income within Adjusted Net Revenue, as it believes this net spread is the most meaningful measure of the YLDS’s contribution to operating performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Total Net Revenue to Adjusted Net Revenue, Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income margin to Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Verde Clean Fuels, Inc. Reports Q1 2026 Results

Verde Clean Fuels, Inc. Reports Q1 2026 Results

  • Maintains strong balance sheet with $54.3 million cash and no debt
  • Continues to advance strategic alternatives process and cost savings initiatives

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Verde Clean Fuels, Inc. (“Verde” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: VGAS) announced today financial results for the first quarter 2026.

“We continue to advance our strategy of disciplined technology deployment while significantly reducing costs and preserving balance sheet strength. We also continue to evaluate strategic opportunities that could maximize shareholder value, including partnerships, mergers, or other strategic transactions,” said George Burdette, CEO of Verde.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $54.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and no debt. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents exceeded its previously issued guidance of more than $50 million by quarter-end. Shares outstanding remained unchanged at 44.5 million shares including both Class A and Class C common stock.

For the first quarter 2026, the Company recorded a net loss of $(2.3) million and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock of $(0.05) compared to a net loss of $(2.7) million and diluted loss per share of Class A common stock of $(0.08) for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower general and administrative expenses resulting from implementing cost savings initiatives targeting a 50% reduction in costs in 2026 as compared to 2025.
