Founded in 2011 and formerly known as American Battery Metals Corporation, the company rebranded in August 2021 to reflect its expanded mission. Headquartered in Reno, Nevada, ABAT is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker ABAT. The company is led by CEO Ryan Melsert, a former founding engineer at Tesla's Gigafactory, who brings deep expertise in battery manufacturing and materials processing. ABAT's core business revolves around three integrated pillars: primary resource development, innovative extraction technologies, and lithium-ion battery recycling. The company actively explores and develops resources of lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese within the United States, aiming to reduce reliance on foreign imports. Its proprietary extraction technologies are designed to efficiently and sustainably recover these metals from various sources, including unconventional ores and claystone deposits. In the recycling domain, ABAT has developed a closed-loop system that can process end-of-life lithium-ion batteries, recovering high-value materials like lithium carbonate, nickel, cobalt, and manganese for reuse in new batteries. Financially, as of the latest TTM data, ABAT has a market capitalization of approximately $356 million, with a current stock price of $2.61. The company is in a growth and development phase, reporting negative earnings and cash flows typical of early-stage ventures, with a net profit margin of -390.5% and an operating margin of -381.9%. Its revenue per share stands at $0.124, while it holds a strong current ratio of 8.118, indicating ample liquidity. The company employs around 157 full-time workers, classified in the 101-200 range. ABAT's future vision includes scaling up its recycling and extraction operations to become a major supplier of battery-grade metals, thereby contributing to the U.S. clean energy transition and circular economy. The company emphasizes environmental stewardship, cost efficiency, and technological innovation, aiming to lower the cost and environmental impact of battery production while securing a resilient domestic supply chain.
YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength.
QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes.
RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three).

Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock.

Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe.

Tiffiany Moehring: Good afternoon. I'm Tiffiany Moehring, and I'm the Director of Communications and Marketing at the American Battery Technology Company. We would like to welcome everyone to our second quarter fiscal 2026 earnings call. On behalf of the entire team at American Battery Technology Company, we would like to thank everyone for taking the time to join our call today. Following this presentation, a recording of this call, along with our press release and our quarterly SEC filings will be made available on our website. This presentation does include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigations Act of 1995. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that can cause actual results to differ from those anticipated. Additional information regarding the factors that may cause actual results to differ can be found in our annual filings. On today's call, our CEO and CTO, Ryan Melsert, will provide remarks regarding our two lines of business, which include our lithium-ion battery recycling business and our primary claystone to lithium hydroxide business. It is now my pleasure to turn the meeting over to Ryan.
Ryan Melsert: Thank you, and welcome, everyone, to this meeting. As we've discussed beforehand, we at American Battery Technology Company, have our two main business units, and we are working to implement the closed-loop infrastructure shown on the right. So first, we have our lithium-ion battery recycling technology that we have developed over the past several years. We built our first commercial scale facility about 3 years ago and are in the process of designing and constructing a second facility. We work closely with each of the partners and the other sectors of this closed-loop economy. We received waste streams back from each of them as well as end-of-life material to process in our battery recycling plant, where we then manufacture critical mineral products to sell back to our domestic customers to work to close that supply chain. Implementing this closed loop is very important. And if the amount of batteries in the field was fixed, battery recycling alone could supply just about all of the minerals needed. However, as the amount of batteries in the field is growing, in addition to closing the loop, we also need to fill the loop the first time. So that's why here at ABTC, we also have our own critical mineral resource, and we've developed our own technologies for how to extract the critical mineral lithium from the ground here in the U.S., how to extract it, how to purify it and how to make it into a final battery-grade critical mineral product. So we are happy to be joined by a new executive in the company as well. So Alex Flores, as our new Chief Financial Officer, has joined as of this coming Monday. He has over 20 years of experience, leading financial organizations in both the battery and the automotive sectors throughout North America. He's …
