Largo released its Q1 2024 financial results, showing revenues of $42.2 million, down from $57.4 million in Q1 2023. This decline is primarily due to a significant drop in vanadium prices. Operating costs grew to $49.7 million from $45.9 million, driven by an extended maintenance period and a $4.5 million write-down of produced vanadium products. The company reported a net loss of $13 million compared to a $1.2 million loss in Q1 2023. Basic loss per share was $0.20, up from $0.02. Total V2O5 equivalent sales were 2,765 tonnes with a cash operating cost of $6.12 per lb sold.
Production figures include 1,729 tonnes of V2O5 and 9,563 tonnes of ilmenite concentrate. Vanadium market conditions were weak due to low demand in the steel industry, though aerospace demand remained strong. The company expects future demand increases, particularly in energy storage in China. Largo is implementing cost reduction measures and productivity initiatives to restore profitability.
