Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Increased Net Loss: Net loss attributable to stockholders increased by approximately $9.2 million (63%) compared to the prior six-month period. This was primarily driven by a $11 million increase in General and Administrative (G&A) expenses and a $1.7 million increase in stock-based compensation.
• G&A Expense Surge: G&A expenses rose significantly due to higher payroll costs related to project implementation and a $7.9 million increase in third-party service costs (legal consultants) for environmental permitting and project implementation.
• Stock-Based Compensation: Increased by $1.7 million, largely due to equity awards granted to the subsidiary Atlas Critical Minerals (ATCX) and shares issued to Mitsui & Co. Ltd. for advisory services.
• Improved Financing Cash Flow: Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $7.5 million, driven by $9.6 million in proceeds from the sale of ATCX shares and $11.3 million from the company's At-The-Market (ATM) offering.
• Functional Currency Change: Effective January 1, 2026, Brazilian subsidiaries changed their functional currency from Brazilian Reais to U.S. Dollars following the Nasdaq listing of ATCX.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Project Milestones: The company received an expansion permit for the Neves Project in June 2026. Key operational partners were contracted for engineering, construction, and electromechanical assembly, with contracts finalized at or below budget projections.
• Market Position: Lithium prices remained constructive. The company has received written indications of interest for long-term supply arrangements for future lithium concentrate production.
• Liquidity Outlook: Management believes current cash and equivalents ($36.1 million) are sufficient to meet working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, future capital requirements may necessitate additional equity or debt financing.
• Risks: Key risks include the uncertainty of converting mineral resources to reserves, volatility in lithium prices, currency exchange fluctuations (mitigated by Non-Deliverable Forwards), and the impact of U.S. tariffs on Brazilian imports. The company also faces risks related to the successful installation of processing facilities and obtaining necessary permits.
• Convertible Debt: $10.0 million in convertible notes issued in November 2023 are due on November 7, 2026. These notes bear 6.5% interest and have a conversion price of $28.225 per share.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Debt Maturity: Verify the company's ability to repay or refinance the $10.0 million convertible debt due in November 2026, given the current cash burn rate.
• Revenue Sustainability: Confirm the source and sustainability of the minimal revenue ($74k for six months), which currently derives solely from quartzite and iron ore sales via a single customer.
• Capital Expenditure Progress: Monitor the timeline and budget adherence for the Neves Project construction, specifically the assembly of the processing plant by Alfa Engenharia.
• Equity Dilution: Track the rate of share issuance under the ATM program and potential dilution from the conversion of outstanding debt or vesting of market-based stock incentives.
• Regulatory Status: Verify the status of the expansion permit and any remaining environmental or operational permits required to commence commercial lithium production.
