Fiscal Year 2025
-
Leadership changes and a comprehensive turnaround plan at Moa followed underperformance in 2025. Power division delivered record dividends, debt was restructured, and cost-saving measures were implemented. 2026 guidance targets higher metals output and stable costs amid improved market conditions.
-
Q3 revenue declined year-over-year due to lower nickel prices and volumes, but cost-saving measures and the completed Moa JV expansion position for future growth. 2025 production guidance was revised downward, while cost discipline and stable power operations support resilience.
-
Nickel and cobalt production and revenue declined due to challenging Cuban operations and low nickel prices, prompting cost reductions and revised 2025 guidance. The Moa JV expansion and recent financing moves aim to improve future performance.
-
Nickel and cobalt production and sales were lower in Q1 2025 due to supply chain and operational challenges, but fertilizer sales and cost containment drove improved adjusted EBITDA. Major debt restructuring reduced obligations and extended maturities, positioning for stronger H2 results and higher cobalt prices.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Strong Q4 and 2024 results were achieved despite low nickel and cobalt prices, with higher sales, reduced costs, and robust liquidity. The Moa JV expansion and power segment improvements are set to drive higher production and dividends in 2025, even as market headwinds persist.
-
Strong operational performance in Q3 2024 drove higher production and improved liquidity, despite multi-year low nickel and cobalt prices. Guidance remains unchanged, with cost reductions and growth projects on track. Focus continues on maximizing cash flows and managing market risks.
-
Q2 saw lower revenues and net loss due to weak nickel, cobalt, and fertilizer prices, but operational improvements drove higher production and reduced costs. Growth projects remain on track, with cash inflows expected in H2 2024 and proactive cost and debt management underway.
