Largo (TSX/NASDAQ: LGO) provided a corporate update highlighting operational progress amid significant challenges. The company achieved strong vanadium pentoxide production of 931 tonnes in August and 856 tonnes in July 2025. However, Largo faces serious headwinds including working capital constraints affecting inventory deliveries and supplier payments.
A major challenge emerged when U.S. tariffs on Brazilian imports increased from 10% to 50% effective August 6, 2025, impacting high-purity vanadium sales contracts. This has led to delayed shipments and some contract defaults. The company is actively lobbying for exemptions, citing strategic importance to U.S. aerospace and defense industries.
Additionally, Largo is expanding its ilmenite plant capacity to 115,000mt from 42,000mt annually, with commissioning targeted for October 2025. The company is also exploring opportunities to monetize its tungsten projects and seeking financing solutions to address immediate liquidity concerns.
Largo (TSX/NASDAQ: LGO) reported Q2 2025 financial results, showing mixed performance amid challenging vanadium market conditions. The company achieved revenues of $26.1 million (vs. $28.6M in Q2 2024) and reduced its net loss to $5.8 million (vs. $14.5M in Q2 2024).
Key operational highlights include V2O5 production of 2,256 tonnes and sales of 1,807 tonnes. The company demonstrated significant cost improvements with a 17% reduction in operating costs to $30.1 million and a 24% improvement in adjusted cash operating costs to $3.18/lb.
Notable challenges include new U.S. tariffs on Brazilian imports increasing from 10% to 50% effective August 6, 2025, and continued pressure on vanadium prices in Europe and China. The company secured a $6 million secured loan to enhance working capital position.

The financing aims to provide working capital support as the company navigates through challenging market conditions marked by low vanadium prices. According to Interim CEO Daniel Tellechea, while operations have stabilized, the loan will offer flexibility to manage current price pressures while maintaining operational targets.
