Largo Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results; Cost Reduction Measures and Productivity Initiatives Underway
All dollar amounts expressed are in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Q1 2024 and Other Highlights
- Revenues of $42.2 million in Q1 2024 vs. 57.4 million in Q1 2023; Lower revenues driven by a significant decrease in vanadium prices; Revenues per pound sold[1] of $6.91 in Q1 2024 vs. $9.14 in Q1 2023
- Operating costs of $49.7 million in Q1 2024 vs. $45.9 million in Q1 2023
- Cash operating costs excluding royalties per pound6 of $6.12 per lb V2O5 equivalent sold in Q1 2024 vs. $5.15 per lb in Q1 2023; Higher operating costs are largely associated with the extended maintenance period in Q1 2024 and included a write-down of produced vanadium products of $4.5 million
- Net loss of $13.0 million in Q1 2024, which included $4.4 million in non-recurring items vs. a net loss of $1.2 million in Q1 2023, which included $0.1 million in non-recurring items; Basic loss per share of $0.20 in Q1 2024 vs. basic loss per share of $0.02 in Q1 2023
- Cash balance of $45.7 million, net working capital[2] surplus of $70.8 million and debt of $75.0 million exiting Q1 2024
- V2O5 equivalent sales of 2,765 tonnes (inclusive of 156 tonnes of purchased material) in Q1 2024 vs. 2,849 equivalent tonnes sold (inclusive of 245 tonnes of purchased material) in Q1 2023
- V2O5 production of 1,729 tonnes (3.8 million lbs[3]) in Q1 2024 vs. 2,111 tonnes produced in Q1 2023; Lower production in Q1 2024 was expected and is largely attributable to the completion of the Company's planned kiln refractory replacement and other plant maintenance activities during the quarter
- The Company produced 9,563 tonnes of ilmenite concentrate in Q1 2024, an increase of 7% from Q4 2023, and sold 513 tonnes of ilmenite concentrate in Q1 2024; Ilmenite sales were below Q1 2024 guidance due to operational and administrative delays
- Q1 2024 results conference call: Thursday, May 16th at 10:00 a.m. ET
Vanadium Market Update[4]
- Due to adverse conditions in the Chinese and European steel industries, spot demand for Q1 2024 continued to be weak; however, strong aerospace demand continued; Future quarters are expected to witness an increase in demand for energy storage, specifically in China
- The average benchmark price per pound of V2O5 in Europe was $6.44 in Q1 2024, a 38% decrease from the average of $10.39 seen in Q1 2023. The average benchmark price per kg of ferrovanadium in Europe was $27.96 in Q1 2024, a 30% decrease from the average of $39.46 seen in Q1 2023

TORONTO - Largo Inc. ("Largo" or the "Company") (TSX: LGO) (NASDAQ: LGO) today released financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company reported quarterly vanadium pentoxide ("V2O5") equivalent sales of 2,765 tonnes at a cash operating cost excluding royalties per pound6 sold of $6.12.
Daniel Tellechea, Interim CEO and Director of Largo, stated: "Having navigated challenges in the first quarter, such as an extended maintenance period which led to increased costs, and a sharp decline in vanadium prices, our focus remains on restoring profitability at Largo. We continued to realize cost savings at our clean energy division this quarter as a result of initiating our strategic review process, and negotiations with Stryten Energy LLC remain ongoing. While we anticipate elevated costs in the first half of the year, we expect improvements in the second half as the full effects of our previously announced productivity initiatives and cost reduction measures materialize at our Maracás Menchen Mine."

Q1 2024 Notes
- The Company recorded a net loss of $13.0 million in Q1 2024 compared with a net loss of $1.2 million in Q1 2023, primarily due to a 27% decrease in revenues and an 8% increase in operating costs, which were partially offset by a 24% decrease in professional, consulting and management fees and a 73% decrease in technology start-up costs.
- In Q1 2024, the Company's direct mine and production costs of $29.9 million increased by 5% over Q1 2023, primarily due to the impact of the scheduled plant shutdown in Q1 2024 and the associated lower global recoveries and higher costs as the plant resumed operations. During the shutdown, the kiln refractory was replaced, and annual maintenance activities were performed in the crushing, milling, ilmenite, leaching and chemical sections of the plant.
- Cash operating costs excluding royalties6 of $6.12 per lb sold in Q1 2024 increased by 19% over Q1 2023 ($5.15 per lb) due to the reasons noted above and included a write-down of produced vanadium products of $4.5 million. Additionally, increased quantities of ore mined and lower grades also impacted the financial performance during the quarter. The Company is actively working to achieve operational stability and operating norms in order to better manage its unit costs and has implemented a number of initiatives with the goal of reducing production costs and improving productivity. These include reducing haulage distances, reducing the number of contractors and a comprehensive review of all contracts.
- Professional, consulting and management fees in Q1 2024 decreased from Q1 2023 by 24% ($1.3 million), primarily due to reduced activity and headcount at Largo Clean Energy Corp. ("LCE") as a result of the initiation of its strategic review process. Technology start-up costs in Q1 2024 also decreased from Q1 2023 by 73% ($2.0 million), which is primarily attributable to a decrease in activities at LCE in Q1 2024 as the installation of its battery project nears conclusion.
- Subsequent to Q1 2024, production and sales in were 815 tonnes and 757 tonnes of V2O5 equivalent, respectively, in April 2024, with 2,500 tonnes of ilmenite concentrate being produced during this period and 8,363 dry tonnes of ilmenite being sold.
- In May 2024, the Company secured a working capital debt facility with a bank in Brazil for a total limit of $8.0 million. Drawdowns on the facility are repayable in 90 days together with accrued interest at a rate of 8.25% p.a., with renewals subject to approval by the bank.
- On May 15, 2024, the Company signed a binding term sheet for up to $10.0 million in inventory financing. Under the terms of this facility, which shall have a minimum duration of 12 months, the Company will use its vanadium finished products inventory to secure drawdowns of up to $10.0 million for a maximum period of 90 days. Amounts repaid will include a commission fee of 1%, interest at an expected rate of the U.S. Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 2.5% and other direct costs.
The information provided within this release should be read in conjunction with Largo's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and its management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2024 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.

Non-GAAP Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP measures in its press release, which are described in the following section. Non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios are not standardized financial measures under IFRS, the Company's GAAP, and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. These measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Revenues Per Pound
This press release refers to revenues per pound sold, V2O5 revenues per pound of V2O5 sold, V2O3 revenues per pound of V2O3 sold and FeV revenues per kg of FeV sold, a non-GAAP performance measure that is used to provide investors with information about a key measure used by management to monitor the performance of the Company.
This measure, along with cash operating costs and total cash costs, is considered to be one of the key indicators of the Company's ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow from its Maracás Menchen Mine and sales activities. These measures differ from measures determined in accordance with IFRS, and are not necessarily indicative of net earnings or cash flow from operating activities as determined under IFRS.
The following table provides a reconciliation of this measure of revenues per pound sold, V2O5 revenues per pound of V2O5 sold, V2O3 revenues per pound of V2O3 sold and FeV revenues per kg of FeV sold, as per the Q1 2024 unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Cash Operating Costs Excluding Royalties Per Pound
The Company's press release refers to cash operating costs excluding royalties per pound, which are non-GAAP ratios based on cash operating costs and cash operating costs excluding royalties, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in order to provide investors with information about a key measure used by management to monitor performance. This information is used to assess how well the Maracás Menchen Mine is performing compared to plan and prior periods, and also to assess its overall effectiveness and efficiency.
Cash operating costs includes mine site operating costs such as mining costs, plant and maintenance costs, sustainability costs, mine and plant administration costs, royalties and sales, general and administrative costs (all for the Mine properties segment), but excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based payments, foreign exchange gains or losses, commissions, reclamation, capital expenditures and exploration and evaluation costs. Operating costs not attributable to the Mine properties segment are also excluded, including conversion costs, product acquisition costs, distribution costs and inventory write-downs.
Cash operating costs excluding royalties is calculated as cash operating costs less royalties. Cash operating costs per pound and cash operating costs excluding royalties per pound are obtained by dividing cash operating costs and cash operating costs excluding royalties, respectively, by the pounds of vanadium equivalent sold that were produced by the Maracás Menchen Mine. Cash operating costs, cash operating costs excluding royalties, cash operating costs per pound and cash operating costs excluding royalties per pound, along with revenues, are considered to be key indicators of the Company's ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow from its Maracás Menchen Mine. These measures differ from measures determined in accordance with IFRS, and are not necessarily indicative of net earnings or cash flow from operating activities as determined under IFRS.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash operating costs and cash operating costs excluding royalties, cash operating costs per pound and cash operating costs excluding royalties per pound for the Maracás Menchen Mine to operating costs as per the Q1 2024 unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

iv. As per note 5 of the Company's Q1 2024 unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for ilmenite finished products and warehouse supplies, and including a write-down of vanadium purchased products of $(341).
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
The Company's press release refers to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, or "EBITDA", and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in order to provide investors with information about key measures used by management to monitor performance. EBITDA is used as an indicator of the Company's ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures.
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.
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.
The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) as per the Q1 2024 unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
