Lithium Americas (LAC) swings to profit while pouring over $1.6B into Thacker Pass
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Lithium Americas Corp. reports a return to profitability while aggressively building out the Thacker Pass lithium project. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income was $6.3 million versus a loss of $24.8 million a year earlier, driven largely by $20.0 million of gains on the Orion convertible derivative and a $9.9 million gain on the DOE-related JV warrant, partly offset by higher general and administrative expenses.
Cash and restricted cash rose to $1.28 billion, supported by $1.03 billion of net financing inflows, including $774.0 million of new DOE Loan advances and $258.2 million from equity offerings. Total assets increased to $3.54 billion, with $2.09 billion invested in mineral properties, plant and equipment, mainly Thacker Pass.
Thacker Pass Phase 1 construction is advancing, with $1.62 billion of the planned $2.93 billion Capex already capitalized and 2026 Capex guidance of $1.3–$1.6 billion. Debt also increased: the DOE Loan balance reached $988.0 million, and Orion convertible debt and production payment liabilities totaled $202.0 million. The company continues to fund development through DOE project finance, convertible instruments, at-the-market equity sales and a new up to $175 million Yorkville convertible debenture agreement.
Positive
- Profitability turnaround: Net result improved to $6.3 million income in YTD Q2 2026 from a $24.8 million loss in YTD Q2 2025, helped by fair value gains on financing instruments.
- Strong liquidity: Cash and restricted cash increased to $1.28 billion at June 30 2026 from $905.6 million at year-end 2025, supporting the large Thacker Pass build-out.
- Major project progress: About $1.62 billion of the planned $2.93 billion Thacker Pass Phase 1 Capex is already capitalized, with detailed engineering over 95% complete and procurement over 80%.
- Substantial long-term DOE funding: DOE Loan advances reached $1.23 billion of principal with long-dated maturity in 2048, reducing near-term refinancing pressure.
- JV and strategic capital: The GM joint venture, Orion investment and DOE warrants structure provide diversified capital sources and offtake, de-risking commercialization of Thacker Pass.
Negative
- High cash burn for construction: Net cash used in investing activities was $631.6 million in YTD Q2 2026, reflecting heavy Thacker Pass Capex with no operating revenue.
- Increasing leverage: DOE Loan net balance rose to $988.0 million, while Orion convertible debt and production payment liabilities totaled about $202.0 million, adding fixed obligations.
- Dilution from equity issuance: 32.5 million shares were sold under the November 2025 ATM in early 2026 and 13.0 million shares under the March 2026 ATM by June 30, plus 1.1 million shares subsequently.
- Cost inflation and tariff exposure: Management highlights an estimated $80–$100 million tariff exposure and broader inflation, logistics constraints and labor market tightness affecting Thacker Pass costs.
- Investment write-down: The Ascend Elements investment was written down to $0, contributing to a $4.7 million loss on investments measured at fair value in YTD Q2 2026.
Filing Explained
Existing holders face a larger share base, while Yorkville has a committed $150 million tranche and conditional capacity for another $25 million.

FLS involve known and unknown risks, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results or performance to differ materially. FLS reflect the Company’s current views about future events, and while considered reasonable by the Company as of the date of this quarterly report, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies. Accordingly, there can be no certainty that they will accurately reflect actual results. Assumptions and other factors upon which such FLS are based include, without limitation: expectations regarding Phase 2 of Thacker Pass, including financing, and the absence of material adverse events affecting the Company during this time; the ability of the Company to perform conditions and meet expectations regarding the Company’s financial resources and future prospects; the ability to meet future objectives, priorities and anticipated milestones; a cordial business relationship between the Company and third-party strategic and contractual partners; the risk of general business and economic uncertainties and adverse market conditions; confidence that development, construction and operations at Thacker Pass will proceed as anticipated, including the impact of potential supply chain disturbances including but not limited to product availability, customs delays and shipping disruptions, especially with respect to steel, and the availability of equipment, labor and facilities necessary to complete development and construction of Thacker Pass and produce battery grade lithium; unforeseen technological, equipment and engineering problems; changes in general economic and geopolitical conditions, including as a result of regulatory changes by the current U.S. presidential administration, higher interest rates, the rate of inflation, a potential economic recession, ongoing conflict in the Middle East and potential changes in United States trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences on, among other things, the extractive resource industry, the green energy transition and industries and technologies dependent on lithium batteries, including the electric vehicle and battery energy storage system markets; uncertainties inherent to the feasibility studies and mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates; the mine processing facilities, based on the results of the testing facility and third-party tests, performing as expected;

LITHIUM AMERICAS CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts; shares and equity instruments in thousands)
Background and Nature of Operations
Lithium Americas Corp., (the “Company” or “LAC”) is principally focused on development of Thacker Pass (“Thacker Pass” or the “Project”), a sedimentary-based lithium project located in the McDermitt Caldera in Humboldt County in north-western Nevada, USA. The Company operates in one operating segment and one geographical area. The development of Thacker Pass is undertaken through a joint venture (the “JV”) with General Motors Holdings LLC (“GM”) (Note 5).
The Company’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “LAC.”
To date, the Company has not generated revenues from operations and has relied on financing to fund operations. The underlying values of mineral properties, plant and equipment, including Thacker Pass, are dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties, and the ability of the Company to draw upon debt financing arrangements and/or raise additional capital to complete development and to attain future profitable operations.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the “Interim Statements”) of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Interim Statements include all adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reported. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These Interim Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars (“USD”), the Company’s presentation and functional currency.
These Interim Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 19, 2026 (the “Fiscal 2025 Annual Financial Statements”). These policies have been applied on a consistent basis for all periods. Information related to recent accounting pronouncements, which are not yet effective, is included in Note 2 to the Fiscal 2025 Annual Financial Statements.
These Interim Statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the next 12 months.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-scope improvements” (“ASU 2025-11”). The amendments clarify the scope, form, and content of interim financial statement disclosures and improve the navigability of Topic 270 without changing existing interim reporting requirements. ASU 2025-11 provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and establishes a new disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events that occur after the end of the last annual reporting period. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the amended guidance will have on its interim financial reporting and related disclosures.

Advances under the DOE Loan (Note 4), cash flows from Thacker Pass, and other amounts received by Lithium Nevada LLC (“LN”) are required to be held in restricted cash accounts owned by LN and managed by a collateral agent as described in Note 3 to the Fiscal 2025 Annual Financial Statements. As at June 30, 2026, such amounts totaled $
The Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk in relation to cash and restricted cash. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for cash and restricted cash is the amount disclosed in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets. All cash and restricted cash is held through four Canadian chartered banks and two U.S. chartered banks. The Company regularly reviews its cash and restricted cash, as well as economic conditions, to determine whether an allowance for expected losses is necessary.

The contingent obligations of the Company and the JV arising from the Put, Call and Exchange Agreement are considered embedded in the JV Warrant. The JV’s embedded written option to settle the JV Warrant in cash is included in the fair value of the JV Warrant on the JV’s Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets, whereas the Company’s embedded written option to purchase the JV Warrant from the DOE is included in the fair value of the JV Warrant in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets.
As described in Note 4 to the Fiscal 2025 Annual Financial Statements, on August 5, 2025, the $
The Company has determined that the JV is a variable interest entity due to its reliance on additional financing to complete Phase 1 of the development of Thacker Pass. The Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary of the JV due to the relative decision-making power of the parties over the most significant activities of the JV. As a result, the Company has consolidated Lithium Nevada Ventures, the JV, in these Interim Statements.

Equity Incentive Plan
On October 3, 2023, the Company adopted an equity incentive plan (the “Plan”), which includes stock options, restricted share units, deferred share units, and performance share units up to an aggregate total of
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which includes shares issuable for little to no consideration upon the exercise of the LAC Warrant subsequent to being equity-classified. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share, except the weighted average number of common shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of equity instruments, if dilutive. Potentially dilutive common shares include those under share-based payment arrangements (stock options, restricted share units, deferred share units, and performance share units) and the Orion convertible debt (Note 8).

Except as disclosed below, the carrying value of the financial assets and liabilities where the measurement basis is other than fair value approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term nature of these instruments considering there have been no significant changes in credit and market interest rates since the original date. Cash and restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable, royalty obligations, Notes, PPA and the DOE Loan are measured at amortized cost.
The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified in the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the significance of inputs to valuation techniques used in making fair value measurements of all financial assets and liabilities. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition.

MATERIAL RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED AGREEMENTS
DOE ATVM Loan Program
The DOE and the Company’s subsidiary, LN, executed the DOE Loan on October 28, 2024 for a construction facility with a maximum borrowing of $1.97 billion plus up to $289.6 million of capitalized interest for a total of $2.26 billion, provided under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (“ATVM”) Loan Program, to fund eligible construction costs of Thacker Pass through November 30, 2028. The DOE Loan was amended on December 20, 2024 to accommodate the formation of Lithium Nevada Ventures, and further amended on October 7, 2025 pursuant to an omnibus waiver, consent and amendment (as amended, the “OWCA”), which reduced the expected total loan amount to $2.23 billion (reflecting lower estimated capitalized interest during construction of $256 million).
On January 30, 2026, as required under the OWCA:
As of August 12, 2026, the Warrants had not been exercised.
Periodic repayments of principal and interest on the DOE Loan commence January 20, 2029, which has a maturity date of July 20, 2048. Prepayment is permitted at any time, subject to certain conditions.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company received advances under the DOE Loan of $435.0 million on October 20, 2025, $432.0 million on February 24, 2026, and $342.0 million on June 3, 2026.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)
General Motors Equity Investment, Joint Venture and Offtake
On October 15, 2024, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with GM to establish a JV for the purpose of funding, developing, constructing and operating Thacker Pass (the “JV Transaction”). The JV Transaction closed on December 23, 2024, prior to which the Company transferred its interest and certain other assets into Lithium Nevada Ventures. Under the Investment Agreement, GM acquired a 38% asset-level ownership stake in Thacker Pass for $625.0 million in total cash and letters of credit, including $430.0 million of direct cash funding to the JV for Phase 1 construction and a $195.0 million letter of credit facility (“LC Facility”) for DOE Loan reserve account collateral (issued for the benefit of Citibank, N.A. in its capacity as collateral agent under the DOE Loan on August 5, 2025).
GM is required to purchase lithium production from Thacker Pass Phase 1, equal to 20% of GM’s specific lithium requirements, up to 100% of Phase 1 production volume (“Phase 1 Offtake Agreement”), extended to 20 years concurrently with the DOE Loan closing. GM also entered into an additional 20-year offtake agreement for up to 38% of Phase 2 volumes (“Phase 2 Offtake Agreement” and, together with the Phase 1 Offtake Agreement, the “Offtake Agreements”), retaining a right of first offer on the remaining Phase 2 balance.
On October 7, 2025, in connection with the OWCA, the Company and GM agreed to amend the Offtake Agreements to, among other things, accelerate delivery dates for annual forecasts, extend the initial forecast period from two to three years (with the second and third years non-binding), require the JV to prioritize GM’s volume requirements, cap third-party commitments based on the difference between production and purchase forecasts, cap GM’s forecast growth at 20% year-over-year during the first five years, and provide GM with a profit true-up right if relinquished volumes are later needed at higher third-party costs.
If the DOE exercises the JV Warrant in full, the JV economic interests would (prior to funding of the additional $120 million DOE Loan reserve accounts as required within 12 months of the OWCA) be 59% the Company (which continues as manager of the Project), 36% GM, and 5% DOE, with voting interest unchanged at 62% and 38% for Lithium Americas and GM, respectively. The DOE has observer rights at JV Board meetings for so long as it holds the JV Warrant or non-voting JV units. The DOE and GM have certain rights under the Put, Call and Exchange Agreement that may result in ownership adjustments.
Orion Resource Partners
On April 1, 2025 (the “Orion Closing Date”), the Company closed a $250.0 million strategic investment (the “Orion Investment”) from fund entities managed by Orion Resource Partners LP (collectively, “Orion”) for the development and construction of Thacker Pass.
Orion purchased $195.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured convertible notes (the “Notes”) and entered into a production payment agreement (“PPA”) for $25.0 million, under which payments correspond to minerals processed and gross revenue from Thacker Pass (together, the Notes and PPA represent an initial investment of $220.0 million). Orion has committed to purchase an additional $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes within two years of the Orion Closing Date (the “Delayed Draw Notes”), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, upon request by the Company.
The Notes mature on April 1, 2030 and accrue interest at 9.875% annually, payable quarterly in arrears in cash or, at the Company’s option, by capitalizing to principal. The Notes are convertible at the holder’s option at any time prior to maturity at an initial conversion price of $3.78 per share, subject to certain adjustments. In October 2025, Orion converted $97.5 million of principal, and the Company issued 25.8 million common shares to Orion, with future interest payable reduced pro rata.
Under the PPA, Orion is entitled to fixed and variable production payments on the first 41,500 tonnes of lithium processed at Thacker Pass annually, subject to certain adjustments.
Yorkville Advisors
On August 5, 2026, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Yorkville for the Yorkville Debentures. At the initial closing, the Company has agreed to issue $150 million in Yorkville Debentures. The Company retains the right to
25
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)
issue up to an additional $25 million in Yorkville Debentures in one or more subsequent closings at its discretion, subject to conditions as further described in the Purchase Agreement.
The Yorkville Debentures mature 5 years after each funding date and accrue interest at 5% per annum. The interest rate increases to 7.50% during the initial two-year period, and to 15% after two years, in each case if certain specified events occur (including if the stock price falls below the floor price for a specified period, if the registration statement is unavailable for an extended period, or if the exchange cap is substantially exhausted). The Yorkville Debentures are convertible at the holder’s option at a conversion price equal to the lower of a fixed price (which shall be the higher of 140% of the NYSE closing price on the day prior to the initial closing and $3.79) or a variable price (95% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five trading days prior to conversion), subject to a floor price equal to 50% of the NYSE official closing price on the day prior to the date of issuance (which shall be reduced in certain circumstances, but in no event to less than 20% of such price). Subject to certain repayment limitations while convertible notes remain outstanding to Orion, the Company may redeem the Yorkville Debentures after 181 days at a 10% premium. Upon a change of control, Yorkville may require repurchase at a 10% premium. The Yorkville Debentures are subordinated to the Company’s obligations under the Notes.
Department of War Grant
In August 2024, the Company received approval for a $11.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of War (previously known as the Department of Defense) to support local power infrastructure upgrades and construction of a transloading facility. At June 30, 2026, $6.6 million of eligible costs had been incurred and $5.2 million remained available.

General and administrative expenses increased to $26.2 million in YTD Q2 2026 (YTD Q2 2025 - $14.4 million) due to increased hiring, share-based compensation, community investment, and regulatory and professional fees supporting expanded operations.
Transaction costs decreased to $1.0 million in YTD Q2 2026 (YTD Q2 2025 - $17.6 million). YTD Q2 2026 costs primarily related to advisory and professional fees for the LAC Warrant and JV Warrant issuances on January 30, 2026, while YTD

Q2 2025 costs primarily related to the Orion Investment and advisory fees due upon achieving the final investment decision (“FID”) for Thacker Pass Phase 1.
The LAC Warrant and the JV Warrant were initially recognized as financial liabilities on October 7, 2025. A $5.0 million loss on change in fair value of the LAC Warrant was recognized in YTD Q2 2026 (YTD Q2 2025 - $nil), reflecting the increase in the Company’s share price from $4.36 on December 31, 2025 to $4.87 on January 30, 2026, when the LAC Warrant was issued and reclassified to equity. A $9.9 million gain on change in fair value of the JV Warrant, including obligations under the Put, Call and Exchange Agreement, was recognized in YTD Q2 2026 (YTD Q2 2025 - $nil), primarily reflecting the decrease in share price from $4.36 on December 31, 2025 to $3.85 on June 30, 2026.
A $20.0 million gain on change in fair value of the embedded derivative associated with the Notes (the “Embedded Derivative”) was recognized in YTD Q2 2026 (YTD Q2 2025 - $6.8 million), primarily reflecting the decrease in the Company’s share price from $4.36 at December 31, 2025 to $3.85 at June 30, 2026.
A $4.7 million loss on financial instruments measured at fair value was recognized in YTD Q2 2026 (YTD Q2 2025 - $2.2 million), primarily consisting of a $4.5 million loss on change in fair value of the Company’s investment in Ascend Elements, Inc. (“Ascend Elements”) (YTD Q2 2025 - $1.8 million loss). During YTD Q2 2026, the Company determined the fair value of the Ascend Elements investment was $nil based on public disclosures indicating significant uncertainty regarding recovery.
Other income for YTD Q2 2026 increased to $13.3 million (YTD Q2 2025 - $2.7 million), primarily due to higher interest income from increased balances in interest-generating bank accounts, driven largely by proceeds from the Company’s ATM programs.

At June 30, 2026, total assets increased by $956.9 million from December 31, 2025, driven primarily by a $373.6 million increase in cash and restricted cash and a $746.8 million net increase in mineral properties, plant and equipment, partially offset by a $157.2 million decrease in deferred financing costs.
At June 30, 2026, total liabilities increased by $593.9 million compared to December 31, 2025, primarily driven by the following:
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has recurring net operational losses (excluding non-cash net gains on financial instruments measured at fair value) and negative operating cash flows and expects to continue operating at an operating loss for the foreseeable future while Thacker Pass Phase 1 is under development. The Company will not generate revenues from operations until after Thacker Pass begins production, with mechanical completion targeted in late 2027 and production ramp-up during 2028.
The Company believes it will have sufficient available liquidity to carry out its business plans, including currently planned development activities at Thacker Pass, for at least the next 12 months. Liquidity includes cash, restricted cash, and available borrowing capacity under the DOE Loan. Beyond 12 months, until the Company generates sufficient operating cash flows, it expects to meet its obligations and fund Thacker Pass development through available cash and restricted cash as well as established financings; however, due to conditions associated with such financings, there can be no assurance the Company will successfully complete all contemplated financing plans. The Company may also engage in
28
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)
capital markets transactions on an opportunistic basis as market conditions permit. The Company does not engage in currency hedging.
At June 30, 2026, the Company had cash of $822.8 million (December 31, 2025 - $568.2 million), restricted cash of $456.4 million (December 31, 2025 - $337.4 million), and working capital (non-GAAP) of $1.0 billion (December 31, 2025 - $734.8 million). DOE Loan advances, cash flows from Thacker Pass, and other amounts received by LN are required to be held in restricted cash accounts owned by LN and managed by a collateral agent, pursuant to the Collateral Agency and Accounts Agreement (as amended, the “Accounts Agreement”) by and among LN, DOE, and Citibank, N.A. as collateral agent (“Collateral Agent”) and depositary bank (“Depositary Bank”). LN must comply with certain reporting and notice requirements to draw upon or deposit amounts in these accounts. DOE Loan advances typically occur quarterly, and the Company draws upon those funds monthly.
The Company has the following sources of liquidity or capital resources, which are also described above in sections Q2 2026 and Subsequent to Q2 2026 Highlights and Material Relationships and Related Agreements.
Debt
On April 1, 2025, the Company closed the Orion Investment for gross proceeds of $220.0 million. Subject to certain conditions, Orion agreed to purchase an additional $30.0 million in Delayed Draw Notes within two years of the Orion Closing Date upon the Company’s request. In October 2025, Orion converted $97.5 million of principal and accrued interest into 25.8 million common shares. At June 30, 2026, the convertible debt principal balance was $116.0 million (December 31, 2025 - $110.5 million), with remaining principal and deferred interest due in April 2030, unless redeemed or converted early.
On October 28, 2024, the Company closed the $2.26 billion DOE Loan under the ATVM Loan Program to finance construction of Phase 1 processing facilities at Thacker Pass. On October 7, 2025, the Company and DOE entered into the OWCA, which reduced the expected total loan amount to $2.23 billion (due to lower estimated capitalized interest of $256.0 million), while principal remained at $1.97 billion. The Company received its initial advance of $435.0 million on October 20, 2025, followed by its second advance of $432.0 million on February 24, 2026, and third advance of $342.0 million on June 3, 2026, with advances totaling $1.209 billion to June 30, 2026. The Company agreed to contribute an additional $120 million to DOE Loan reserve accounts within 12 months of the OWCA. Principal and interest repayments do not commence until January 2029.
On August 5, 2026, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement for up to $175 million of Yorkville Debentures, of which $150 million will be issued at the initial closing. The Yorkville Debentures will be subordinated to the Notes. See “Yorkville Advisors” above for further discussion.
Joint Venture with GM
On October 15, 2024, the Company and GM entered into the Investment Agreement to establish the JV for funding, developing, constructing, and operating Thacker Pass. As of June 30, 2026, GM has contributed $430.0 million in cash to the JV. In August 2025, GM provided a $195 million letter of credit facility, which bears no interest and matures with the DOE Loan, unless otherwise withdrawn under the Investment Agreement.
At June 30, 2026, the Company's net assets of $1.9 billion included $1.4 billion held in the JV (inclusive of GM's non-controlling interest), of which $1.4 billion was held by LN. The DOE Loan restricts transfers of assets from LN to the Company, including prohibitions on dividend payments, loans, other payments, and transfers of collateral. Exceptions to such restrictions are possible upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including construction milestones. The DOE Loan also requires LN to maintain working capital (non-GAAP) sufficient to cover project-related costs. The JV Transaction documents impose additional restrictions on asset transfers from LN, including transfers of material assets outside the ordinary course

(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)
or assets exceeding $5.0 million (subject to exceptions for lithium sales in the ordinary course or sales of non-productive assets under $10.0 million).
Equity Offerings
On November 13, 2025, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement, pursuant to which the Company may sell its common shares, no par value, up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $250.0 million (the “November 2025 ATM Program”). The Company completed the November 2025 ATM Program on January 26, 2026. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company sold 32.5 million common shares at an average price of $5.92 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of $189.7 million after sales agent’s commission and other expenses.
On March 19, 2026, the Company established the March 2026 ATM Program. During Q2 2026, the Company sold 13.0 million common shares at an average price of $5.36 per share for aggregate net proceeds of $68.5 million after sales agent’s commission and other expenses. Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company issued and sold 1.1 million common shares at an average price of $3.87 per share pursuant to the March 2026 ATM Program, for net proceeds of $4.2 million after sales agent’s commission and other expenses.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities in YTD Q2 2026 was $23.8 million, a decrease of $25.7 million from YTD Q2 2025, primarily due to higher interest income of $10.9 million, lower transaction costs of $16.6 million and lower net working capital use (non-GAAP) of $8.5 million, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses of $11.9 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in YTD Q2 2026 was $631.6 million, an increase of $278.1 million from YTD Q2 2025, primarily due to higher construction activity and expenditures at Thacker Pass.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in YTD Q2 2026 was $1.0 billion, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $317.9 million in YTD Q2 2025. YTD Q2 2026 net proceeds received from financing transactions included $189.7 million in net proceeds from the November 2025 ATM Program, $68.5 million in net proceeds from the March 2026 ATM Program, and $774.0 million from DOE Loan advances, partially offset by principal payments for finance lease obligations and financing fees. In YTD Q2 2025, net proceeds received from financing transactions included $211.8 million for the Notes and PPA, $100.0 million contribution from GM to the JV at FID, and $8.5 million in net proceeds from ATM programs, partially offset by principal payments for finance lease obligations and financing fees.
Contractual Obligations
The Company’s contractual obligations, commitments under long-term purchase agreements and other commitments as at June 30, 2026 are disclosed in Notes 4, 7, 8 and 15 to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As at June 30, 2026, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
DECOMMISSIONING PROVISION AND RECLAMATION BONDS
The carrying value of the decommissioning liability arising from exploration and development activities at Thacker Pass was $0.5 million as of June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $0.5 million). The Company has a $1.7 million reclamation bond payable to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”), guaranteed by a third-party insurance company, with $0.3 million accepted and obligated for exploration projects. In February 2025, a $73 million reclamation bond payable to the BLM was established for Thacker Pass and accepted and obligated in March 2025.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements to June 30, 2026 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make estimates affecting reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The significant accounting policies of the Company are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. A summary of the Company’s critical accounting estimates is described in Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no significant changes to these policies or estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Accounting Developments
For a discussion of Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, refer to Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION
The Company makes reference to certain non-GAAP measures. These measures are not recognized under U.S. GAAP, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP, and therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures provide additional information to complement U.S. GAAP measures by providing further understanding of the Company's liquidity from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures are not intended to represent and should not be considered as alternatives to U.S. GAAP performance measures of liquidity. In addition to U.S. GAAP results, the Company uses “working capital,” a non-GAAP measure, to provide investors with a supplemental measure of liquidity and highlight trends in the core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on U.S. GAAP measures.
“Working capital” is the difference between current assets and current liabilities, derived from the Company’s consolidated financial statements and applied on a consistent basis as appropriate. Various assets and liabilities fluctuate significantly from month to month depending on short-term liquidity needs. The Company discloses this measure because it believes it assists readers in understanding the Company’s financial position and provides further information about liquidity to investors.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various legal and administrative proceedings in the normal course of business, the ultimate resolutions of which, in the opinion of management, are not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
The Company has resolved or secured judicial dismissal of all legal and regulatory actions and proceedings, which arose in the ordinary course of resource development. There are no current adversarial matters involving the Company or its regulatory authorizations.
Item 1a. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Existing and future financings could materially dilute current shareholders’ interests, impose significant restrictions, increase indebtedness and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and share price.
The Company has significant capital requirements and may need to access the capital markets to obtain additional short-term and long-term financing in connection with, among other things, the development and operation of Thacker Pass, future exploration, development and acquisition plans, repayment of outstanding indebtedness, issuances and exercises under the Company’s equity incentive plan.
Such financing may be obtained through the issuance of common shares, preferred shares, options, warrants, other equity securities of equal or senior rank, convertible debt securities, or by way of project level investments, offtake and royalty arrangements, debt instruments or other financing vehicles and may not require shareholder approval. Under certain circumstances, the Company may also issue common shares to GM and/or the US DOE in connection with the JV, which could further dilute the Company’s ownership interest in Thacker Pass. Existing and future equity financing arrangements could materially dilute existing shareholders’ ownership interests, decrease the amount of cash available for dividends payable on common shares or be nil, decrease the relative voting of outstanding common shares, decrease the value of the Company’s securities and reduce the value of their investment.
Future equity issuances or the conversion or exercise of outstanding notes, warrants, restricted share units or other convertible securities, including further conversion of the Orion Note and the issuance of warrants to the DOE that may be convertible into a significant number of common shares, could result in substantial dilution and decline in the market price of the Company’s common shares. In connection with the Orion Investment, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Orion pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register for resale any shares issued upon conversion of the Orion Note. Pursuant to the obligations set forth in the registration rights agreement, dated April 1, 2025, by and among the Company and an entity affiliated with Orion, the Company has registered for resale by Orion up to 43,707,080 common shares, of which, 25,793,651 common shares were issued upon conversion in 2025. Additionally, the Company has issued certain warrants to the DOE, which will be convertible pursuant to their terms into common shares in an amount that may equal up to approximately 13% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. In connection with the issuance of such warrants, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the DOE pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement to register the resale of the common shares underlying the warrants. The Company has also agreed to register up to 72,553,609 shares issuable to Yorkville upon conversion of the Yorkville Debentures.
Sales of common shares by the Company or its stockholders, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of the Company’s common shares to decline and make it more difficult to raise capital on favorable terms. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances or sales of the Company’s common shares or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of the Company’s common shares will have on the market price of the Company’s common shares.
Any indebtedness could require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its future cash flows to debt service thereby reducing cash flow available for operating and business activities; limit management’s flexibility in operating the business and responding to changing market conditions; increase the Company’s vulnerability to economic downturns; restrict the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing, make investments, sell assets, lease equipment or engage in business
33
combinations; increase the Company’s vulnerability to interest rates as the rates applicable to outstanding indebtedness may vary with prevailing interest rates; place the Company at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors with less leverage and restrictive terms from indebtedness; and increase the risk of default on its debt obligations.
The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, will depend on various factors, including capital market conditions, interest rates, investor sentiment and the Company’s operating performance. Failure to secure financing when needed could require the Company to postpone, reduce, abandon or terminate development or operations at Thacker Pass, result in dilution of its ownership interest, and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Refer to Part I. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company and its subsidiaries did not experience any mining-related fatalities or receive any health and safety violations, orders and citations from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) and was not subject to related assessments and legal actions.
