— Record Financial Performance Achieved in Second Quarter —
— Entered into Long-Term Supply Agreement with General Motors —
— Raises 2022 Full Year Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance —
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Livent Corporation (NYSE: LTHM) today reported results for the second quarter of 2022.
Revenue was $218.7 million, up 52% and 114% from the first quarter of 2022 and the prior year, respectively. Reported GAAP net income was $60.0 million, 13% higher than the previous quarter, and 31 cents per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $95.0 million, 78% higher than the previous quarter and roughly six times higher than the prior year, and adjusted earnings per share were 37 cents per diluted share. Continued improvement in lithium market conditions and strong customer demand in the second quarter supported higher realized prices.
“Lithium demand was exceptionally strong through the first half of 2022. Published lithium prices in all forms moved higher in the second quarter amid tight market conditions,” said Paul Graves, president and chief executive officer of Livent. “We continue to achieve higher realized prices across our entire product portfolio.”
Agreement with General Motors
As announced in a joint press release last week, Livent entered into a long-term supply agreement with General Motors (GM). This six-year agreement, which will deliver lithium hydroxide beginning in 2025, will also come with a $198 million advance payment from GM to be made in 2022. The upfront payment strengthens the binding commitments being made by both parties and establishes a foundation for expanding the relationship over time. This structure increases flexibility and certainty for Livent as it funds and executes its capacity expansion plans.
“The challenges are increasing for the lithium industry to grow battery-grade lithium hydroxide and carbonate supply enough to keep up with significant annual demand increases,” continued Graves. “As a result, auto OEMs are becoming more focused on securing reliable lithium supply to support their own aggressive electrification plans. We remain focused on executing our expansion plans to meet the growing needs of our customers and look forward to the beginning of a long-term relationship with GM, given our shared commitment to sustainability and strengthening electric vehicle supply chains in North America.”
Capacity Expansion
Livent remains on schedule to deliver on all of its previously announced capacity expansions. The first 10,000 metric tons expansion of lithium carbonate in Argentina will be mechanically complete by year-end 2022 and in commercial production by the first quarter of 2023. The Company’s 5,000 metric ton expansion of lithium hydroxide in Bessemer City will be mechanically complete by the end of Q3 2022 and in commercial production the following quarter.
Livent is on track to add another 10,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate capacity in Argentina by the end of 2023. This will nearly double Livent’s total available LCEs (1) from 2021 levels. The Company also expects to add another 15,000 metric tons of lithium hydroxide capacity at a new location in China by the end of 2023.
Nemaska, a joint venture in which Livent is a 50% partner, is concluding all remaining work on its construction plan, which is expected to be finalized by the end of the third quarter of this year. Nemaska will be a fully integrated asset located in Quebec, Canada, with an expected 34,000 metric tons of nameplate capacity of battery-grade lithium hydroxide and first production in the second half of 2025.
Sustainability
Livent published its 2021 Sustainability Report in early July, reflecting the company’s commitment to responsible production and expansion through its ongoing focus on environmental protection, social responsibility and transparency. The report underscores Livent’s view that lithium will continue to play a critical role in global decarbonization efforts and the shift to electrification. Among the highlights of the report are an update on Livent’s progress against its 2030 and 2040 ESG goals, data points from recent Life Cycle Assessments of key lithium products and an overview of the company’s initiatives around the world for responsible operations and growth. Key ESG metrics in the report were reviewed and assured by a third-party. Livent’s 2021 Sustainability Report, with the theme of Growing Responsibly, is available at https://livent.com/sustainability.
Guidance and Outlook (2)
Livent has further improved its guidance for 2022 financial performance. This is underpinned by expectations for higher realized pricing across all lithium products, with no change to underlying volume assumptions. For the full year, Livent now projects revenue to be in the range of $800 million to $860 million and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $325 million to $375 million.

- Lithium Carbonate Equivalents.
- Although we provide a forecast for Adjusted EBITDA, we are not able to forecast the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amount are not predictable, making it impractical for us to forecast such GAAP measure or to reconcile corresponding non-GAAP financial measure to such GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. For the same reason, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Such elements include, but are not limited to, restructuring, transaction related charges, and related cash activity. As a result, no GAAP outlook is provided for these metrics.

We evaluate operating performance using certain Non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA, which we define as net income plus interest expense, net, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization; and Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA adjusted for restructuring and other charges, separation-related costs and certain other losses/(gains). Management believes the use of these Non-GAAP measures allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of its underlying business from period to period. The Non-GAAP information provided may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because of differing methods used by other companies in calculating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. This measure should not be considered as a substitute for net income or other measures of performance or liquidity reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The above table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from net income. |
|
a. |
Represents impact of currency fluctuations on tax assets and liabilities and long-term monetary assets associated with our capital expansion as well as foreign currency devaluations. The remeasurement losses are included within “Cost of sales” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations but are excluded from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA because of: i.) their nature as income tax related; ii.) their association with long-term capital projects which will not be operational until future periods; or iii.) the severity of the devaluations and their immediate impact on our operations in the country. |
|
b. |
We continually perform strategic reviews and assess the return on our business. This sometimes results in management changes or in a plan to restructure the operations of our business. As part of these restructuring plans, demolition costs and write-downs of long-lived assets may occur. The six months ended June 30, 2022 includes $0.5 million of severance costs for management changes at certain administrative facilities and $0.4 million for miscellaneous nonrecurring costs. The three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 includes transaction-related legal fees. |
|
c. |
Represents legal and professional fees and other separation-related activity. |
|
d. |
Represents incremental costs associated with COVID-19 recorded in “Cost of sales” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, including but not limited to, incremental quarantine-related absenteeism, incremental facility cleaning costs, COVID-19 testing, pandemic-related supplies and personal protective equipment for employees, among other costs; offset by economic relief provided by foreign governments. |
|
e. |
The three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 represents our ownership interest (which was 25% prior to June 6, 2022) in certain project-related costs, interest expense and transaction costs incurred for the Nemaska Project, all included in Equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliate in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company accounts for its equity method investment in the Nemaska Project on a one-quarter lag basis. |
|
f. |
Represents the gain from the sale in Argentina pesos of Argentina Sovereign U.S. dollar-denominated bonds and is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because it is nonrecurring. |
|
g. |
Represents interest income received from the Argentina government for the period beginning when the recoverability of certain of our expansion-related VAT receivables were approved by the Argentina government and ending on the date when the reimbursements were paid by the Argentina government but is excluded from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA because of its association with long-term capital projects which will not be operational until future periods. |

The Company believes that the Non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted after-tax earnings” and “Diluted adjusted after-tax earnings per share” provide useful information about the Company’s operating results to management, investors and securities analysts. Adjusted after-tax earnings excludes the effects of special charges and tax-related adjustments. The Company also believes that excluding the effects of these items from operating results allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of its underlying business from period to period. Diluted adjusted after-tax earnings per share (Non-GAAP) is calculated using weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted. |

h. |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the three months ended June 30, 2021, all of the interest was capitalized on the 2025 Notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, $5.8 million of the interest on the 2025 Notes was capitalized. |
|
i. |
The Company excludes the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the Non-GAAP measure of income, and instead includes a Non-GAAP tax provision based upon the projected annual Non-GAAP effective tax rate. The GAAP tax provision includes certain discrete tax items including, but not limited to: income tax expenses or benefits that are not related to operating results in the current year; tax adjustments associated with fluctuations in foreign currency remeasurement of certain foreign operations; certain changes in estimates of tax matters related to prior fiscal years; certain changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets and related interim accounting impacts; and, changes in tax law. Management believes excluding these discrete tax items assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to operating results thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about the Company’s operational performance. The income tax expense/(benefit) on special charges/(income) is determined using the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which the special charge or income occurred and includes both current and deferred income tax expense/(benefit) based on the nature of the Non-GAAP performance measure. |
