STILLWATER, Okla., May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- USA Rare Earth, Inc. (Nasdaq: USAR) ('USAR' or the 'Company') today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
First Quarter Highlights
Merged with Inflection Point and began trading on Nasdaq on March 14
Commissioned our Innovations Lab at our Stillwater, Oklahoma magnet facility, a critical milestone for the company which officially launched our sales and qualification work with potential customers
Hired multiple key employees in engineering, production, finance, and operations
Signed our first customer MOU for rare earth sintered magnet production in 2026
Produced dysprosium oxide from the Round Top deposit with a purity of over 99%
'USA Rare Earth is ramping up quickly in 2025 to begin delivering finished magnets to our customers,' said Joshua Ballard, CEO. 'We have raised over $100 million since the start of the year in support of the business. In Stillwater, Oklahoma, we opened our Innovations Lab, started prototyping magnets, and are moving quickly to commission the first line of our 310,000-square-foot magnet facility. We are also meaningfully advancing our processing technologies in Colorado to unlock the value we hold at Round Top Mountain in Texas.'
Mr. Ballard added: 'We are experiencing a 'Manhattan Project' moment in America. As a country, we must invest in and rebuild our rare earth supply chain as unprecedented geopolitics have highlighted the structural need to protect our domestic defense, industrial and technology industries. We are seeing robust interest from domestic manufacturers eager to use magnets that are made here in the USA. Our growth in 2026 will reflect this growing demand. Our mission has prepared us for this moment, and we are determined to deliver for the American people.'
Forward-looking Statements Certain matters discussed in this press release and on the conference call (see information below) are or contain 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve risks and uncertainties. These statements include statements relating to the Company's expectations for future development, operations, business strategies and financial performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as 'anticipate', 'believe', 'can', 'continue', 'could', 'estimate', 'expect', 'forecast', 'intend', 'may', 'might', 'plan', 'possible', 'potential', 'predict', 'project', 'seek', 'should', 'strive', 'target', 'will', 'would' and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: risks related to the development of our magnet production facility and the timing of expected production milestones; competition in the magnet manufacturing industry; our ability to grow and manage growth profitably; our ability to build or maintain relationships with customers and suppliers; our ability to retain management and key employees; the supply and demand for rare earth minerals; the timing and amount of future production; costs of production, capital expenditures and requirements for additional capital, including the need to raise additional capital to implement our strategic plan; the substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of our first quarter 2025 condensed consolidated financial statements; the timing of future cash flow provided by operating activities, if any; uncertainty in any mineral estimates, uncertainty in any geological, metallurgical, and geotechnical studies and opinions; and transportation risks. Detailed information regarding factors that may cause actual results to differ materially has been and will be included in the Company's periodic filings with the SEC, including the Company's Form 10-K that the Company filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025 and the Company's latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of their date, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after their date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net loss attributable to common shareholders (defined as 'adjusted net loss'), adjusted undistributed net loss to common shareholders (defined as 'adjusted undistributed net loss'), and adjusted undistributed net loss per common share (defined as 'adjusted net loss per common share'). Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
We believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends related to our financial condition and results of operations, and as a supplemental tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other companies that present similar non-GAAP financial measures. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze our operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business. Current and prospective
investors should review our audited annual and unaudited interim financial statements, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Notes to the Financial Results
Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders which excludes gain on fair market value of financial instruments.
Adjusted undistributed net loss is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) attributed to common shareholders which excludes gain on fair market value of financial instruments, declared and undeclared dividends, and accretions.
Adjusted net loss per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) attributed to common shareholders which excludes gain on fair market value of financial instruments, declared and undeclared dividends, and accretions, divided by basic shares outstanding.
