Elevra Lithium

Elevra Lithium increased revenue in 2026 by 39% to $202 million and turned adjusted EBITDA from a loss of $43 million to a profit of $14 million. The cause was significantly higher realized prices (+57%) despite slightly lower production and sales volumes; cash on hand rose to $255 million (about $301 million including new financing). Management plans a multi-stage expansion at North American Lithium to boost capacity and reduce costs; for 2027 Elevra expects production of 198,000–210,000 tonnes, sales of 200,000–230,000 tonnes and higher operating costs per unit of $880–$950. » More on de.investing.com

Elevra holds no ownership rights to the licence after the sale but retains entitlement to potential licence payments and intends to reinvest the released funds into North American projects. » More on de.investing.com

Elevra reported a 15% production increase in the June quarter to over 54,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate and an annual production of 198,000 tonnes, exceeding the revised guidance. Operating unit costs were $853 per tonne, below the updated target range, while realized selling prices were suppressed by an older contract structure that has now expired. The company closed financing for the brownfield expansion of North American Lithium and plans a staged capacity increase to 220,000–230,000 tonnes. Elevra reported cash of $255 million at quarter-end and expects more frequent deliveries and improved realized prices now that the old contract terms have ended. » More on de.investing.com
