Overview
Netherlands critical materials supplier's Q1 revenue rose 15% yr/yr
Adjusted EBITDA fell 24% yr/yr due to lower AMG Antimony profitability
Net income more than doubled, aided by lithium inventory write-up
Outlook
Company reiterates 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $210 mln to $240 mln
Company expects Q2 2026 adjusted EBITDA to approach Q2 2025 level
Company sees material price increases and strong engineering backlog supporting profitability from Q2 2026
Result Drivers
VANADIUM & AURA ACQUISITION - AMG Vanadium's higher volumes and prices, plus the consolidation of AURA and its recycled tungsten business, drove segment profit growth
BITTERFELD RAMP-UP - AMG Lithium revenue surged due to the Bitterfeld plant ramp-up and higher lithium and tantalum prices, but adjusted EBITDA was hurt by shipping delays and prior-year non-recurring costs
ENGINEERING BACKLOG & ANTIMONY DROP - AMG Technologies benefited from a strong order backlog at AMG Engineering, but segment profit was offset by lower AMG Antimony results compared to an exceptionally strong prior-year quarter
