Vanadium Market Update 2
Article content
Vanadium prices remain under pressure in Europe and China, due to continued low demand in the steel and infrastructure sector and an oversupply from Chinese and Russian producers
The monthly average U.S. ferrovanadium ('FeV') price has increased approximately 15% year-over-year to $14.70 per lb V in July 2025 and are holding approximately 7% higher than at the start of 2025; This continues to be supported by increased buying interest amid geopolitical tensions and policy shifts that have tightened supply dynamics
The average benchmark price per pound of V 2 O 5 in Europe was $5.13 in Q2 2025, a 13% decrease from the average of $5.93 seen in Q2 2024
The average benchmark price per kg of FeV in Europe was $24.37 in Q2 2025, a 9% decrease from the average of $26.83 seen in Q2 2024
As of August 12, 2025, the average benchmark FeV price per lb V was $14.70 in the U.S. (or approximately $30.86 per kg FeV), and as of August 8, 2025, the average benchmark price per pound of V₂O₅ was $5.23 in Europe
Article content
On July 30, 2025, Executive Order 14323 was issued by the United States government, increasing tariffs on imports from Brazil from 10% to 50%, effective August 6, 2025
As a result, the Company is evaluating the potential commercial impact on its vanadium product sales to U.S. customers, including high-purity and ferrovanadium products
We remain committed to supporting the U.S. aerospace, defense, and steel sectors that rely on our high-quality vanadium for essential applications
Largo remains as one of the few global vanadium producers capable of meeting the quality and reliability standards required by these industries and the Company deeply values its longstanding partnerships with U.S. customers
Commercial adjustments, including a reassessment of the Company's U.S. customer strategy, may be necessary if the current tariff regime remains in place

Key Highlights
The Company reported a net loss of $5.8 million for Q2 2025, which represents a 60% improvement compared to the net loss of $14.5 million for Q2 2024. This is the lowest net loss the Company has recorded since Q1 2023 and is primarily a reduction in operating costs and expenses and offset by an increase in foreign exchange gain for the quarter.
Operating costs improved to $30.1 million in Q2 2025 from $36.4 million in Q2 2024, which was primarily driven by a 26% reduction in direct mine and production costs, which also reflects a 9% decrease in vanadium sold and the positive impact of the Company's previously announced initiatives to reduce production costs and improve productivity at the Maracás Menchen Mine. The Company expects to continue seeing the benefits of these initiatives in its financial results going forward.
Adjusted cash operating costs excluding royalties 3 reduced by 24% to $3.18 per lb sold in Q2 2025 over Q2 2024 ($4.20 per lb sold) primarily due to the positive results of the Company's operational turnaround plan and cost optimization initiatives previously announced, which includes the strengthening cost management through rigorous monitoring and control processes to ensure operating expenses remain within targeted budget levels. This is evidenced in the improved global recovery 5 rates seen in Q2 2025 (84.9%), an increase of 14.3% from the 74.3% achieved in Q2 2024 and 9.1% higher than the 77.8% achieved in Q1 2025.
Professional, consulting and management fees of 1.8 million in Q2 2025 decreased from Q2 2024 by 34%, which was primarily attributable to the Company's focus on reducing costs, including reduced insurance costs at Corporate, as well as minimal activity at Largo Clean Energy Corp. ('LCE') during the quarter. Technology start-up costs in Q2 2025 also decreased from Q2 2024 by 66% to $0.2 million, which is primarily attributable to a decrease in activities at LCE.
The foreign exchange gain in Q2 2025 of $4.7 million (Q2 2024 – loss of $4.1 million) is primarily attributable to a weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Brazilian real. The U.S dollar to Brazilian real exchange rate decreased by approximately 5% for Q2 2025 in comparison to Q1 2025.
Subsequent to Q2 2025, production and sales were 856 tonnes and 852 tonnes of V 2 O 5 equivalent, respectively, in July 2025, with 4,309 tonnes of ilmenite concentrate being produced during this period and 1,903 dry tonnes of ilmenite being sold.
The information provided within this release should be read in conjunction with Largo's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and its management's discussion and analysis (' MD&A ') for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 which are available on our website at www.largoinc.com or on the Company's respective profiles at www.sedarplus.com and www.sec.gov.

Article content
Adjusted EBITDA removes the effect of inventory write-downs, impairment charges (including write-downs of vanadium assets), insurance proceeds received, movements in legal provisions, non-recurring employee settlements and other expense adjustments that are considered to be non-recurring for the Company. The Company believes that by excluding these amounts, which are not indicative of the performance of the core business and do not necessarily reflect the underlying operating results for the periods presented, it will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in better understanding the Company's ability to generate liquidity from its core business activities.
Article content
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide additional information to analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures exclude the impact of depreciation, costs of financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital balances, and therefore are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operating activities as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently.

Billionaire Philippe Laffont Has Sold Shares of Nvidia for 8 Consecutive Quarters and Is Loading Up On This Historically Cheap Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Instead

Key Points Form 13F filings are invaluable in helping investors uncover which stocks Wall Street's leading asset managers are buying and selling. Over a two-year period, billionaire Philippe Laffont reduced his fund's stake in Nvidia by 83% -- and profit-taking may not tell the complete story. Meanwhile, Coatue's billionaire boss nearly 20X'd his position in a cash-rich international company whose future growth prospects rely heavily on artificial intelligence (AI). 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Investors may not realize it, but today (Aug. 14) is one of the most important days of the entire quarter. While earnings season is critical in helping investors learn about the operating health of America's leading businesses, Form 13F filings, which are due today, are equally invaluable. A 13F is a required filing due no later than 45 calendar days following the end to a quarter for institutional investors with at least $100 million in assets under management. It allows investors to track which stocks Wall Street's smartest money managers purchased and sold in the latest quarter (in this instance, the June-ended quarter), as well as identify which trends have the attention of successful fund managers. Although Warren Buffett is the stock market's most followed billionaire investor, he's far from the only billionaire known for their outsized investment returns. For instance, Coatue Management's Philippe Laffont, who's been a big investor of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, is known for spotting phenomenal deals hiding in plain sight. Laffont's approach to the evolution of AI has been particularly interesting. Specifically, he's pared down his fund's stake in the face of the AI movement, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), for eight straight quarters, and has been buying shares of another historically cheap AI stock hand over fist. Coatue Management's billionaire chief has sold 83% of his fund's Nvidia stake While some billionaire money managers bid adieu to AI-graphics processing unit (GPU) colossus Nvidia many quarters ago, Coatue Management billionaire boss has been paring down his fund's stake with some degree of consistency for two full years. Accounting for Nvidia's historic 10-for-1 stock split in June 2024, Laffont has overseen an 83% reduction in his fund's position in this AI powerhouse: Q1 2023: 49,802,020 shares of Nvidia Q2 2023: 46,449,700 shares Q3 2023: 45,410,400 shares Q4 2023: 43,222,010 shares Q1 2024: 13,851,410 shares Q2 2024: 13,754,447 shares Q3 2024: 10,138,161 shares Q4 2024: 10,006,488 shares Q1 2025: 8,545,835 shares With Coatue's average top-20 position held for roughly 21 months, as of the end of March, it demonstrates that Laffont and his top advisors aren't shy about locking in gains when presented with the opportunity. Nvidia shares catapulting more than twelvefold since the start of 2023 has given Coatue's brightest investor plenty of reason to cash in his chips. The concern with Philippe Laffont's persistent selling spanning eight quarters is there may be more than profit-taking on his mind. For instance, while the addressable opportunity for AI is sky-high, historical precedent shows that every next-big-thing trend for three decades has endured a bubble-bursting event early in its expansion. Investors have a tendency to overhype the utility and early stage adoption rates of new technologies, which eventually leads to these lofty expectations not being met. No company has been a more direct beneficiary of the evolution of AI than Nvidia, which suggests it would potentially be the hardest hit if the AI bubble were to burst. Another possible consideration for Philippe Laffont is growing competition in the AI-GPU space. Make no mistake about it, Nvidia's Hopper (H100) and Blackwell GPUs are at the top of the pedestal, in terms of compute ability. But this doesn't mean Hopper and Blackwell won't endure headwinds in the coming quarters and years. Specifically, internal competition could prove to be a thorn in Nvidia's side. Many of its leading customers by net sales are developing AI-GPUs and solutions for their data centers. Even though these chips are slower than Nvidia's and they pose no external competitive threat, they're considerably cheaper, more readily accessible, and capable of taking up valuable data-center real estate. In short, these chips could crush Nvidia's pristine pricing power and gross margin. Nvidia's valuation is worrisome, as well. Historically, megacap companies have peaked with price-to-sales (P/S) ratios of roughly 30 to 40. Nvidia is tipping the scales at a P/S ratio of more than 30, as of the closing bell on Aug. 11. Billionaire Philippe Laffont can't stop buying this cash-rich AI stock On the other end of the spectrum is a historically cheap and cash-rich artificial intelligence stock that Coatue Management's billionaire chief can't stop buying. I'm talking about China-based Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA). When 2024 came to a close, Alibaba was a relatively forgettable holding in Coatue's portfolio, with just 192,728 shares held. But during the first quarter, Laffont came close to 20Xing this stake to 3,801,703 shares, based on the filed 13F. While Alibaba's growth ambitions very much rely on AI, this isn't the company's foundational operating segment responsible for most of its cash flow. Alibaba laid its roots through its e-commerce operations in China. Whereas online retail sales have matured in the U.S., a burgeoning middle class in the world's No. 2 economy by gross domestic product can generate high-octane e-commerce sales growth for the foreseeable future. Based on an analysis from DBS Treasures, Taobao and Tmall combine to account for a 41% share of China's e-commerce space. These platforms should have little issue continuing to generate bountiful cash flow that Alibaba can redirect to faster-growing and/or higher-margin initiatives. However, e-commerce isn't the only arena that Alibaba Group is leading. According to estimates from tech analysis firm Canalys, Alibaba Cloud reined in 33% of Mainland China's cloud infrastructure service spending during the first quarter, which was nearly double the 18% share Huawei Cloud earned as the No. 2 cloud infrastructure services provider. Alibaba is aggressively incorporating generative AI solutions into its cloud platform and giving its clients access to the tools needed to build and train large language models. The expectation is that these AI solutions will enhance demand (and margins) for Alibaba Cloud. Something else that's likely attracted Laffont to Alibaba is the company's capital-return program. It closed out fiscal 2025 (ended March 31) with $51.6 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, along with $7.4 billion in equity securities and $6 billion in restricted cash. When combined with the cash flow being generated from Alibaba's numerous operating segments, there's more than enough capital available for share repurchases and dividends. The proverbial cherry on the sundae is that Alibaba Group stock is historically inexpensive at an estimated 11 times forward-year earnings. This is modestly lower than its average forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio over the past half-decade, and it stands out amid a historically pricey stock market.
