Largo Inc. reports Q4 EPS (24c) vs. 1c last year

Reports Q4 revenue $47.5M vs. $50.3M last year. Reports Q4 V2O5 production of 2,004 tonnes in Q4 2022 vs. 2,003 tonnes in Q4 2021; Annual V2O5 production of 10,436 tonnes in 2022 vs. 10,319 tonnes in 2021 and 6% below lower range of revised production guidance. Daniel Tellechea, Interim CEO and Director of Largo, stated: "For Largo, 2022 was a challenging year, which led to an underperformance on both production and cost metrics, particularly in Q4 2023 with the mining disruption caused by record rainfall at our mine, cost inflation of key raw materials and sizeable non-recurring expenditures. Although we continue to navigate an inflationary environment, we anticipate delivering and capitalizing on a 10% increase in production for 2023 over 2022, particularly with the recent strengthening of vanadium prices." He continued: "This recent increase is due in part to increased demand from the energy storage sector, especially in China, where new vanadium redox flow battery ("VRFB") deployments totaling around 2 GWh or approximately 10% of global vanadium output are planned for the next 12-24 months. Importantly, the VRFB sector accounted for the second largest source of vanadium demand outside of the steel sector in Q3 2022, according to Vanitec, a global vanadium organization. Other key markets including steel, aerospace, and chemical have also shown considerable demand growth in recent months."
