| Metric | Latest | 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). | $99.9M | +150.8% | -40.7% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $-64.8M | -197.4% | +37.7% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +10.8% | -24.2% | -2153.9% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | -55.7% | +43.6% | -36.5% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | -64.8% | -18.6% | -5.1% |
| 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. | $-53.6M | +2.8% | +88.0% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | -53.6% | +61.3% | +79.8% |
| 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. | 10.4% | +2116.9% | +0.7% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 2.23x | +20.9% | -15.7% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $349.9M | -8.2% | -2.6% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | -3.30 vs -2.92 | -13.2% | -0.44 vs -0.25 | -74.7% |

Operator: Thank you for standing by. My name is Carey, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Q1 2025 Piedmont Lithium Earnings Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Thank you. I will now like to turn the call over to Mr. John Koslow, Investor Relations at Piedmont Lithium. Please go ahead. John Koslow: Thank you and good afternoon. Welcome to Piedmont Lithium's first quarter 2025 earnings call. Joining us today from Piedmont Lithium are Keith Phillips, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Michael White, Chief Financial Officer. Keith will provide an introduction and review key updates from the quarter and Michael will then review our financial results. Keith will provide closing commentary before we transition to a Q&A session. As a reminder, today's discussion will contain forward looking statements related to future events and expectations that are subject to various assumptions and caveats. Factors that may cause the company's actual results to differ materially from these statements are included in today's presentation, earnings release, and in our SEC filings. In addition, we have included non-GAAP financial metrics in this presentation and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in today's earnings release and the appendix to today's slide presentation. Any references to EBITDA, mean adjusted EBITDA, references to shipments or shipments of spodumene concentrate, and tons are dry metric tons. Copies of our earnings release and presentation in addition to a replay of this call will be available on our website at piedmontlithium.com. With that, I'll turn the call over to Keith Phillips. Keith? Keith Phillips: Thanks John and thank you all for joining us today. 2025 has opened with considerable volatility in lithium markets. Prices have fluctuated as the industry continues to navigate shifts in global supply and demand, macroeconomic uncertainty, and evolving policy landscapes. Despite this backdrop, our team remains focused on what we can control, delivering operational and commercial excellence, maintaining capital discipline, and positioning our business for long-term success. We shipped 27,000 tons to customers to start the year. North American lithium produced a little over 43,000 tons, a decline from the record production level seen in the second half of 2024. Variable weather conditions impacted mill utilization, but the team reacted quickly to mitigate the effects on a go-forward basis. On the corporate side of the business, we continue to advance towards the merger with Sayona Mining that we announced in November. We achieved several notable milestones recently, and I will spend time at the end of the call providing more detail on the merger process and why we are so excited about the …
