LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nMP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP) (\u201cMP Materials\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cMP continued to advance the multiple streams of our business during the quarter despite weaker recent commodity pricing,\u201d said Chairman and CEO James H. Litinsky. \u201cAt Mountain Pass, we sustained strong production and sales volumes while simultaneously commissioning additional Stage II circuits and moving closer to producing separated rare earth materials. In addition, construction and engineering of our Stage III magnet facility continues at a rapid pace, bringing the restoration of the full magnetics supply chain closer to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe vast majority of our revenue pertains to product sales of our rare earth concentrate.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

(2)<\/td>\n\n\n

\nSee \u201cUse of Non-GAAP Financial Measures\u201d below for the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Production Costs, which is used in the calculation of production cost per REO MT. See tables below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The definition of realized price per REO MT is also included in \u201cUse of Non-GAAP Financial Measures\u201d below.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

(3)<\/td>\n\n\n

\nEffective September 30, 2022, the Company no longer excludes depletion expense for purposes of calculating and presenting Adjusted Net Income, and has retroactively revised the prior year period for comparability purposes.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\nRevenue decreased 42% year-over-year, driven by a 32% decrease in the realized price of rare earth oxide (\u201cREO\u201d) in concentrate as well as a 13% decline in sales volumes. The change in realized price reflects a softer pricing environment for rare earth products as compared to the prior year period when recent pricing peaked. Metric tons (\u201cMT\u201d) of REO sold in the quarter declined year-over-year mainly due to the timing of shipments, which fluctuate quarter-to-quarter but have approximated production volumes over time.<\/p>\n

\nAdjusted EBITDA decreased 56% year-over-year, driven by lower per-unit profitability, a decrease in sales volumes, and higher personnel and other general and administrative costs, as well as advanced projects and development costs. The per-unit profitability decrease was driven primarily by the decline in realized prices discussed above, as well as higher production costs as we expand our workforce and ready our facilities to support separated rare earth (Stage II) production. Production cost of $1,978 per MT of REO increased 24% year-over-year, mainly due to the scale benefits of higher sales volumes in the prior year period, as well as higher payroll costs, primarily as a result of increased headcount discussed above and higher costs of materials and supplies.<\/p>\n

\nAdjusted Net Income decreased by 45% year-over-year to $51.3 million, mainly due to the lower Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by increased interest and investment income earned on an increase in short-term investments as well as lower income tax expense primarily associated with the lower pre-tax income.<\/p>\n

\nNet income decreased 56% year-over-year, primarily due to the factors driving the lower Adjusted Net Income discussed above, as well as costs incurred to support growth initiatives, start-up costs, and costs associated with the removal of legacy facilities at Mountain Pass. These impacts were partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense compared to the prior year period, mainly due to the accounting impact of accelerated amortization of certain equity grants.<\/p>\n

\nDiluted earnings per share (\u201cEPS\u201d) decreased 56% year-over-year to $0.20, in line with the lower net income discussed above. Adjusted Diluted EPS decreased 45% to $0.27 in line with the decrease in Adjusted Net Income discussed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Forward-Looking Statements<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThis press release contains certain statements that are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as \u201cestimate,\u201d \u201cplan,\u201d \u201cproject,\u201d \u201cforecast,\u201d \u201cintend,\u201d \u201cexpect,\u201d \u201canticipate,\u201d \u201cbelieve,\u201d \u201cseek,\u201d \u201cwill,\u201d \u201ctarget,\u201d or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the continued demand for rare earth markets and the market for rare earth materials generally, future demand for electric vehicles and magnets, estimates and forecasts of our results of operations and other financial and performance metrics, the Company\u2019s ability to control costs, and the Company\u2019s Stage II and Stage III projects, including the Company\u2019s ability to achieve run rate production of separated rare earth materials and production of magnetic alloy. Such statements are all subject to risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances that could significantly affect the Company\u2019s future financial results and business.<\/p>\n

\nAccordingly, the Company cautions that the forward-looking statements contained herein are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected by such statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; changes in demand for NdFeB magnets; the effects of competition on the Company\u2019s future business; risks related to the rollout of the Company\u2019s business strategy, including Stage II and Stage III, and the timing of achieving expected business milestones; risks related to the Company\u2019s long-term agreement with General Motors, including the Company\u2019s ability to produce and supply NdFeB magnets; the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, on any of the foregoing risks; risks related to current and future governmental and environmental laws, regulations, licenses or legal requirements; and those risk factors discussed in the Company\u2019s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n

\nIf any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. The Company does not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements except as required by law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this earnings release may not occur.<\/p>\n

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThis press release references certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Production Costs. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our GAAP net income before interest expense, net; income tax expense or benefit; and depreciation, depletion and amortization; further adjusted to eliminate the impact of stock-based compensation expense; start-up costs; transaction-related and other non-recurring costs; accretion of asset retirement and environmental obligations; gain or loss on sale or disposal of long-lived assets; and other income or loss. Adjusted Net Income is defined as our GAAP net income excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense; start-up costs; transaction-related and other non-recurring costs; gain or loss on sale or disposal of long-lived assets; and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operations; adjusted to give effect to the income tax impact of such adjustments. Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as GAAP diluted earnings per share (\u201cEPS\u201d) excluding the per share impact, using GAAP diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as the denominator, of stock-based compensation expense; start-up costs; transaction-related and other non-recurring costs; gain or loss on sale or disposal of long-lived assets; and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operations; adjusted to give effect to the income tax impact of such adjustments. Our key performance indicator, realized price per REO MT, is calculated as the quotient of: (i) our GAAP product sales for a given period and (ii) our REO sales volume for the same period. As we no longer expect to receive any additional tariff rebates, as we have historically, we no longer utilize Total Value Realized, which was a non-GAAP financial measure, as the numerator in the calculation of realized price per REO MT. Production Costs, which we use to calculate our key performance indicator, production cost per REO MT, is defined as our GAAP cost of sales (excluding depreciation, depletion and amortization), less stock-based compensation expense included in cost of sales, shipping and freight costs, and costs attributable to certain other sales, for a given period. Production cost per REO MT is calculated as the quotient of: (i) our Production Costs for a given period and (ii) our REO sales volume for the same period.<\/p>\n

\nMP Materials\u2019 management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to compare MP Materials\u2019 performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. MP Materials believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to MP Materials\u2019 financial condition and results of operations. MP Materials believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends. MP Materials believes realized price per REO MT is an important measure of the market price of the Company\u2019s concentrate product. Furthermore, MP Materials believes production cost per REO MT sold, which utilizes the non-GAAP financial measure, Production Costs, is a key indicator of the Company\u2019s concentrate production efficiency. As we evolve as a business and transition from a producer of rare earth concentrate to a producer of separated rare earth products upon completing the commissioning of our Stage II project, the metrics that management anticipates using to evaluate the business may change or be revised. For example, in completing the transition to separated rare earth products, we may determine that production cost per REO MT, which is a metric focused solely on Stage I concentrate operations, and consequently, Production Costs, are no longer meaningful in evaluating and understanding our business or operating results. MP Materials\u2019 method of determining these non-GAAP measures may be different from other companies\u2019 methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and MP Materials does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measures to assess its financial performance. Management does not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative or to be superior to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in MP Materials\u2019 financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.<\/p>\n
