American Battery Technology Company Triples Quarterly Revenue as it Releases Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Report
Company achieves substantial 120% increase in battery recycling throughput as it accelerates commercial operations aimed to increase the onshoring of domestic critical mineral manufacturing AMERICAN BATTERY TECHNOLOGY COMPANY AMERICAN BATTERY TECHNOLOGY COMPANY Reno, Nev., May 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) (NASDAQ: ABAT), an integrated critical battery minerals company that is commercializing its first-of-kind technologies for both primary battery minerals manufacturing and secondary minerals lithium-ion battery recycling, announced it has tripled quarterly revenue as it releases its third quarter fiscal year (FY) 2025 financial results for the period ending March 31, 2025. Battery Recycling Highlights from Third Fiscal Quarter 2025: ABTC has implemented multi-shift, 24/7 operations at its first battery recycling facility and substantially increased the throughput during the quarter, more than doubling the mass of battery material recycled in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the previous quarter. ABTC continues to engage with its multiple strategic partners for the sourcing of commercial quantities of battery feedstock materials, and for the sale of recycled battery products. The company expects to continue accelerating the ramp of operations at this facility in the following quarter. Primary Lithium Manufacturing Highlights from Third Fiscal Quarter 2025: ABTC has developed its own set of technologies for the manufacturing of critical mineral lithium hydroxide from Nevada-based claystone material and has constructed a multi-tonne per day integrated pilot facility to demonstrate these technologies. During the reported quarter, ABTC successfully completed a continuous, multi-week operation of this facility and produced large quantities of lithium hydroxide material. This material is currently being characterized and delivered to strategic customers for their internal evaluations. Based on the pilot facility design, ABTC has designed a commercial scale lithium refinery to manufacture 30,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide per year, and long-term commercial offtake agreements for this product are under negotiations with these strategic customers. ABTC recently received an approved Letter of Interest from the Export-Import Bank of the United States for a $900,000,000 low-interest loan to support the construction of this commercial lithium mine and refinery. Financial Highlights from Third Fiscal Quarter 2025: Total revenues from the sale of recycled battery materials increased to $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately tripling the revenue from the previous quarter. Cash cost of goods sold, with the removal of non-cash items such as depreciation, for this period was $2.3 million compared to $2.1 million in the previous quarter. This represents a significant improvement in gross cash margin, with quarterly revenue increasing by approximately 200% with cash cost of goods sold increasing by only 9%. A reconciliation of quarterly GAAP to non-GAAP cost of goods sold. Description Amount ($M) GAAP Cost of Goods Sold 3.7 Less: Depreciation Expense (1.0) Less: Stock-Based Compensation (0.4) Non-GAAP Cash Cost of Goods Sold 2.3 Company reimbursements from government grants increased to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.3 million during the same period of the prior year. This reimbursement of $2.0 million is shown as an offset to research and development costs within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2025, the company had total cash on hand of $7.8 million, of which $2.8 million was available and $5 million restricted for compliance with its Note obligations. On April 1, 2025 the company entered into an agreement for the sale of one of its unused, legacy properties located at 395 Logan Lane in Fernley, Nevada for $6.75 million. The transaction is expected to close on or before July 10, 2025. On April 20, 2025 the company entered into an agreement for the sale of a portion of its unused water rights in Fernley, Nevada for $4.7 million. The transaction is expected to close on or before May 21, 2025.

American Battery Technology Company Named "Recycling Technology Solution 2025" by CleanTech Breakthrough
Reno, Nev., April 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT), an integrated critical battery materials company that is commercializing its technologies for both primary battery minerals manufacturing and secondary minerals lithium-ion battery recycling, has been 'Recycling Technology Solution of the Year' by CleanTech Breakthrough. This prestigious recognition highlights American Battery Technology Company's (ABTC) internally-developed advancements in battery recycling technology and its contributions to creating a circular supply chain for critical battery materials. The CleanTech Breakthrough Awards program is one of the industry's most comprehensive evaluations of leading organizations, technologies, and solutions in clean technology. This year, the program received thousands of nominations from countries around the globe, underscoring the significance of ABTC's achievements in this space. At the heart of ABTC's success is its innovative 'de-manufacturing' recycling process, which challenges traditional high-impact methods like smelting and shredding. Instead, ABTC employs de-manufacturing process with selective hydrometallurgical processing. When fully implemented, this two-phase approach allows for: The ABTC strategic de-manufacturing recycling process combines targeted selective hydrometallurgical methods. This approach makes the system feedstock-agnostic, capable of processing various lithium-ion battery sizes, shapes, and chemistries. The first phase of this process produces recycled materials such as copper, aluminum, steel, lithium intermediate, and black mass, while the second phase will further refine these materials into battery-grade nickel sulfate, cobalt sulfate, manganese sulfate, and lithium hydroxide. Strategic Milestones in ABTC's Commercialization of its Battery Recycling Technology ABTC has established itself as a driving force in sustainable battery innovation through several key initiatives: Recently, the company announced it has made significant advancements in its production processes, moving from a commissioning phase to 24/7 operations. Key milestones include the sourcing of recurring shipments of large-scale batteries from strategic automotive OEMs, the production and sale of commercial quantities of low-impurity intermediate black mass material, and the sale of numerous recycled byproducts. The production of intermediate black mass that demonstrates industry-defined low-impurity levels has resulted in favorable selling prices and will be a significant advantage as ABTC moves into processing its own intermediate black mass in its internal chemical extraction train to produce high-purity critical battery metals. With these innovations, the company continues to position as a leader in producing high-quality black mass, paving the way for implementation and integration of the company's second phase chemical extraction train of its recycling process. ABTC's innovative recycling technologies are positioned to address these market needs efficiently, reducing reliance on imported critical materials while supporting a more sustainable and circular supply chain. With continued enhancements at its facility, ABTC is poised to lead the charge in sustainable battery materials manufacturing for both domestic and global strategic customers. CleanTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout climate and clean technology companies, products and services around the globe, today announced the winners of their inaugural CleanTech Breakthrough Awards program.
