NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business: MP Materials Corp., including its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “MP Materials”), is the largest producer of rare earth materials in the Western Hemisphere. Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Company owns and operates the Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine and Processing Facility (“Mountain Pass”) located near Mountain Pass, San Bernardino County, California, the only rare earth mining and processing site of scale in North America. Rare earth products are critical inputs in hundreds of existing and emerging clean-tech applications including electric vehicles and wind turbines as well as robotics, drones, and defense applications. The Company is also developing a rare earth metal, alloy and magnet manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas (the “Independence Facility”), where the Company produces and sells magnetic precursor products and anticipates manufacturing neodymium-iron-boron (“NdFeB”) permanent magnets by the end of 2025. The Company’s operations are organized into two reportable segments: Materials and Magnetics. See Note 22, “Segment Reporting,” for additional information.
The Materials segment represents the upstream and midstream operations of the Company, which primarily consist of Mountain Pass, a fully integrated mining and refining facility producing refined rare earth oxides and related products. The Materials segment generates revenue primarily from sales of neodymium-praseodymium (“NdPr”) oxide and metal, primarily sold to customers in Japan, South Korea, and broader Asia. The Materials segment historically generated the majority of its revenue from sales of rare earth concentrate primarily under the Shenghe Offtake Agreement to Shenghe, a related party of the Company (as such terms are defined in Note 21, “Related-Party Transactions”).
The Magnetics segment represents the downstream magnet manufacturing and related operations of the Company, which currently consist of the Independence Facility, a fully integrated metal, alloy, and magnet manufacturing plant. The Magnetics segment began generating revenue from sales of magnetic precursor products to General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) (“GM”) in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2025.
On July 9, 2025, the Company entered into definitive agreements with the United States Department of War (the “DoW”), formerly known as the Department of Defense, (collectively, the “DoW Transaction Agreements”) establishing a transformational public-private partnership with the DoW to accelerate the build-out of an end-to-end U.S. rare earth magnet supply chain and reduce foreign dependency (the “DoW Transactions”). This partnership is further described in Note 3, “Public-Private Partnership with U.S. Department of War,” which includes certain defined terms related to the DoW Transaction Agreements. In connection with the DoW Transactions, the Company will expand its Independence Facility, construct a second domestic magnet manufacturing facility (the “10X Facility”) and extend its heavy rare earth elements (“HREE”) refining capability at Mountain Pass. Additionally, as outlined in the DoW Offtake Agreement, the DoW has guaranteed that the 10X Facility will generate at least $140 million of EBITDA (as defined in the DoW Offtake Agreement, and subject to annual escalation) and has the right to purchase all of the magnets produced at the 10X Facility (which may instead be commercially syndicated). Separately, the Company entered into an NdPr price floor protection agreement with the DoW (the “Price Protection Agreement” or “PPA”) for the Company’s NdPr products produced at Mountain Pass that are sold or produced and stockpiled starting in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The cash flows and profitability of the Company’s operations have historically been significantly affected by the market price of rare earth products, which are generally also impacted by taxes and tariffs. While this volatility will be reduced following the effectiveness of the PPA, certain exposure to market prices remains. The prices of rare earth products are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. The products of the Company are sold globally, with a focus on accelerating the development of a U.S. supply chain, with export products primarily sold in the Asian market due to the metallization and magnet manufacturing capabilities of the region. See the “Concentration of Risk” section in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” for additional information.
Basis of Presentation: The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are presented in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be achieved during a full year of operations or in future periods. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K.
NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of MP Materials Corp. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and receivables from customers. The Company believes that its credit risk is limited because the Company’s current contracts are with companies that have a reliable payment history. The Company does not believe that it is exposed to any significant risks related to its cash accounts, money market funds, or short-term investments.
In July 2025, to align with the terms of the DoW Transaction Agreements and in further support of its domestic supply chain objectives, the Company ceased all further sales of its products to China. As a result, rare earth concentrate revenues declined for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Historically, Shenghe was the principal customer of the Materials segment, accounting for approximately 30% of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the vast majority of which related to sales of concentrate, versus approximately 80% of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (see Note 21, “Related-Party Transactions” for additional information).
Rare earth concentrate is not quoted on any major commodities market or exchange and demand for rare earth concentrate is currently constrained to a relatively limited number of refiners, a significant majority of which are based in China. Uncertainty exists as to the market price of rare earth oxide (“REO”) primarily due to concerns over the global economic conditions and actual or perceived concerns over increases in the supply of or slower growth in the demand for rare earth products.
Because the Company’s revenue is primarily derived from the sale of or other arrangements related to rare earth products, shifts in the market price of these products, including the levying of taxes, tariffs, or other fees, may have a significant negative effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows, particularly in its Materials segment. However, the PPA is designed to mitigate the effects of these market factors on the Materials segment.
Accounting for the Price Protection Agreement: The PPA is a price floor protection agreement that conveys a contingent right for the Company to receive cash from the DoW and also imposes a contingent obligation for the Company to deliver cash to the DoW in the future as described in Note 3, “Public-Private Partnership with U.S. Department of War.” Given the contractual cashflows, the right to the price floor protection granted by the DoW under the PPA (the “PPA Upfront Asset”) was determined to be a financial instrument. The initially recognized amount of the PPA Upfront Asset results from the difference between the fair value of the other instruments exchanged with the DoW and the cash consideration received from the DoW. The PPA Upfront Asset is presented as “Price protection agreement upfront asset” in non-current assets within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to the PPA Upfront Asset. Beginning October 1, 2025, the PPA’s commencement date, the PPA Upfront Asset will be amortized over the Company’s expected pattern of economic benefit from the PPA. Reassessment of the PPA Upfront Asset’s useful life as well as impairment considerations will be consistent with the Company’s existing policies for long-lived assets.
Price Protection Agreement Income or Expense: Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, and on a quarterly basis thereafter throughout the PPA’s 10-year term, the Company will have the right to receive cash from or an obligation to deliver cash to the DoW. The Company will recognize its rights or obligations as “Price protection agreement expense (income)” within the “Operating expenses and income” section of the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the events giving rise to the right or obligation occur. Each quarterly period represents a distinct contractual period for which amounts receivable or payable will be recognized as earned or incurred.
Debt Discount and Debt Issuance Costs: Debt discount represents the difference between the net proceeds received and the debt’s fair value at the time of issuance. Debt issuance costs include incremental third-party costs directly related to the debt issuance. For debt instruments other than the Company’s revolving credit facility, debt discount and debt issuance costs are recorded as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the associated debt instrument and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the underlying indebtedness. Debt issuance costs related to the Company’s revolving credit facility are recorded in “Other non-current assets” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the revolving credit facility arrangement. See Note 3, “Public-Private Partnership with U.S. Department of War,” and Note 11, “Debt Obligations,” for additional details.
Series A Preferred Stock: The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock is classified as redeemable preferred stock (i.e., temporary equity) outside of stockholders’ equity within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets due to certain redemption rights not solely within the Company’s control. The purpose of this classification is to convey that such a security may not be permanently part of equity and could result in a demand for cash, securities or other assets of the entity in the future. All financial instruments are evaluated for embedded derivative features by analyzing each feature against the nature of the host instrument (e.g., more equity-like or debt-like). Features identified as freestanding instruments or bifurcated embedded derivatives that are material are recognized separately as a derivative asset or liability. The Company evaluated the Series A Preferred Stock and determined that its nature is that of an equity-host with no embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation. The Company initially recognized the Series A Preferred Stock at its relative fair value, net of allocated issuance costs.
At each reporting period, the Company reassesses whether the Series A Preferred Stock is (i) currently redeemable or (ii) probable of becoming redeemable in the future. If the instrument meets either criterion, the Company will adjust the carrying amount to the estimated maximum redemption value (i.e., the redemption price). As of September 30, 2025, the Series A Preferred Stock was not redeemable, nor probable of becoming redeemable in the future. As such, the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock was not adjusted to the maximum redemption value. See Note 15, “Redeemable Preferred Stock,” for additional details.
Warrants: The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments, meet the definition of a liability, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock. The Company analyzed the classification of its outstanding Warrant as of the date of issuance and as of September 30, 2025, and determined that such instrument met the criteria for equity classification. See Note 18, “Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation,” for additional information.
Revenue Recognition: For certain product sales primarily within the Magnetics segment, the Company receives requests from a customer to temporarily hold purchased products at the Company’s facilities. These products are sold under terms included in bill-and-hold arrangements that may result in different timing for revenue recognition versus shipment. The Company recognizes revenue under these arrangements only when there is a substantive reason for the agreement, the ordered goods are identified separately as belonging to the customer, the goods are currently ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company does not have the ability to use the product or to direct it to another customer. Assuming these required revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue is recognized upon completion of product manufacture, which is the point in time control of the product transfers to the customer. See Note 16, “Revenue Recognition,” for additional information.
Performance-based Performance Stock Units: The Company recognizes the performance-based performance stock units’ (“performance-based PSUs”) grant-date fair value as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period if it is probable that a performance condition will be achieved. No compensation cost will be recognized for a performance condition that is not probable of being achieved. The Company will re-evaluate at the end of each reporting period whether or not a performance condition is probable of being achieved. If, based on this re-evaluation, the Company estimates an increase in overall compensation cost, then the Company will recognize a cumulative catch-up of compensation cost in the period of the re-evaluation. Alternatively, if the Company estimates a decrease in overall compensation cost, the Company will defer reversing compensation cost until achievement of the performance condition is estimated to be improbable. Previously recognized compensation costs related to forfeited awards will be reversed in the period the forfeiture actually occurs. See Note 18, “Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation,” for additional information.
Convertible Debt and Embedded Derivatives: The Company accounts for its convertible debt in accordance with ASC Subtopic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” (“ASC 470-20”), whereby the convertible instrument is initially accounted for as a single unit of account, unless it contains a derivative that must be bifurcated from the host contract in
accordance with ASC 815 or the substantial premium model in ASC 470-20 applies. When it is determined that an embedded derivative is required to be bifurcated, the Company recognizes the bifurcated embedded derivative, measured at fair value, as a separate derivative asset or liability upon initial recognition and in subsequent periods at fair value with changes in fair value included in profit or loss each reporting period. Changes in the fair value each reporting period are included in “Other income, net” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company that had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on a retrospective basis as of December 31, 2024, for annual periods, and for interim periods beginning in 2025. See Note 22, “Segment Reporting,” for additional information.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,” and ASU No. 2024-04, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments,” on its financial statements and/or disclosures.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
NOTE 3—PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WITH U.S. DEPARTMENT OF WAR
On July 9, 2025, the Company entered into the DoW Transaction Agreements, whereby the Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to (i) construct the 10X Facility, which will produce sintered NdFeB permanent magnets, (ii) extend HREE refining capability at Mountain Pass to include the separation of samarium oxide, (iii) recommission the chlor-alkali facilities at Mountain Pass and (iv) expand capacity at the Independence Facility to a projected 3,000 metric tons (“MTs”) of magnets annually. The Company also agreed to use up to $600 million of its existing cash to fund these projects. Additionally, the DoW Transactions consist of a comprehensive, long-term package of commitments from the DoW, including pricing support, a long-term offtake agreement and certain financing arrangements. Key terms include the following:
Pricing & Supply Commitments
Price Protection Agreement: The PPA establishes a price floor for the Company’s NdPr products (e.g., concentrate, oxide and metal) (collectively, “NdPr Products”) and commences on October 1, 2025, continuing for approximately ten years through December 31, 2035. Throughout the PPA’s term, the Company will have the right to receive cash from, or the obligation to deliver cash to, the DoW based on (i) its designation of NdPr Products produced and/or sold (the “NdPr Designation”) and (ii) the Benchmark Quarterly Average Volume Weighted Price (as defined in the PPA).
At the conclusion of each quarter, the Company may elect, at its option, any of the following NdPr Designations (without duplication):
-
“Stockpile” represents produced, but not yet sold NdPr Product,
-
“Affiliate sales” represents internally sold NdPr Product, such as sales from the Materials segment to the Magnetics segment, or
-
“Third party sales” represents externally sold NdPr Product.
On a quarterly basis, the DoW will pay the Company an amount per kilogram (“KG”) equivalent of NdPr Products equal to the shortfall between $110 and the Benchmark Quarterly Average Volume Weighted Price. Once the 10X Facility reaches full production capacity (the “Production Milestone Date”), and the Benchmark Quarterly Average Volume Weighted Price exceeds $110, the Company will pay the DoW 30% of the difference between the Benchmark Quarterly Average Volume Weighted Price and $110.
DoW Offtake Agreement: The Company entered into a magnet offtake agreement with the DoW (the “DoW Offtake Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will sell to the DoW the entire amount of magnets produced at the 10X Facility; provided, however, that at the DoW’s request, or at the Company’s request and with the DoW’s consent, the Company may sell up to 100% of magnet production to other third-party customers. The DoW will acquire the magnets at a price equal to their production costs (as defined in the DoW Offtake Agreement), plus the guaranteed EBITDA discussed below. The DoW Offtake
Agreement has a term of ten years commencing on the date at which the 10X Facility begins operations and is capable of producing any quantity of magnets (the “Commercial Operation Date”). Given the DoW’s right to substantially all of the economic benefits of the 10X Facility and its ability to direct the use toward magnet production, the DoW Offtake Agreement meets the definition of a lease for the 10X Facility.
In accordance with the DoW Offtake Agreement, the DoW guaranteed that the 10X Facility will generate at least $140 million of EBITDA (as defined in the DoW Offtake Agreement) on an annual basis after the Production Milestone Date, adjusted annually in each calendar year following 2025 for inflation at a rate equal to 2% (the “Threshold EBITDA Amount”). Between the Commercial Operation Date and the Production Milestone Date, the Company is entitled to a proportion of the Threshold EBITDA Amount based on demonstrated capacity levels. The DoW will make quarterly payments to the Company in an amount equal to 25% of the Threshold EBITDA Amount, subject to annual true up.
On an annual basis, commencing on the Production Milestone Date, if the Company sells magnets to third-party customers, the DoW will be entitled to receive (i) the first $30 million of EBITDA attributable to the 10X Facility that exceeds the Threshold EBITDA Amount (the “Initial Excess Amount”) and thereafter (ii) 50% of the EBITDA attributable to the 10X Facility that exceeds the Initial Excess Amount.
Under the DoW Offtake Agreement, before the Commercial Operation Date, the Company is entitled to receive reimbursement from the DoW for certain incremental costs incurred by the Company in connection with engineering, development and start-up of the 10X Facility and for designing magnets to the DoW’s specifications (to the extent such costs are not capitalizable as 10X Facility construction costs), with such payments being capped at $30 million in any calendar year.
The DoW Transaction Agreements also provide that the DoW will assist the Company in procuring HREE required for magnet production at the 10X Facility over the duration of the DoW Offtake Agreement. Working capital costs associated with stockpiling or forward purchasing of HREE are also reimbursable by the DoW, with no annual cap, through the Commercial Operation Date.
Financings
Series A Preferred Stock: The Company issued 400,000 shares of newly designated Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to the DoW for cash consideration of $400.0 million. At the election of the DoW, the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 13,320,013 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $30.03 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. See Note 15, “Redeemable Preferred Stock,” for additional details.
Warrant: The Company issued a warrant (the “Warrant”) to the DoW, exercisable at any time for a period of ten years for up to 11,201,659 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial exercise price of $30.03 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. See Note 18, “Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation,” for additional details.
In the aggregate, the common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is initially convertible and for which the Warrant is initially exercisable collectively represented 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of July 9, 2025, without giving effect to the issuance of such shares.
Commitment Letter for Facility Construction: In connection with the DoW Transaction Agreements, the Company obtained a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) from JPMorgan Chase Funding Inc. and Goldman Sachs Bank USA (along with their affiliates, the “Banks”), pursuant to which the Banks agreed to provide committed secured financing in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, at least $1 billion. The Commitment Letter expired undrawn on its own terms on August 26, 2025, as it was reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis upon the Offering (as defined in Note 18, “Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-Based Compensation”) and the Company’s execution of the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 11, “Debt Obligations”). See Note 11, “Debt Obligations,” for additional details.
Samarium Project Loan: In August 2025, the Company issued a $150 million unsecured promissory note to the DoW with a 12-year term, maturing on August 1, 2037 (the “Samarium Project Loan”). The Samarium Project Loan was issued for the purpose of the Company extending HREE refining capability at Mountain Pass to include separation of samarium oxide. See Note 11, “Debt Obligations,” for additional details.
Consideration Exchanged and Allocation
The Company issued the Series A Preferred Stock, Warrant, and Samarium Project Loan (the “Issued Instruments”), which had an aggregate fair value of $768.6 million, in exchange for cash and non-cash consideration. Total cash consideration was
$550.0 million, consisting of $400.0 million from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and $150.0 million from the issuance of the Samarium Project Loan. The difference between the fair value of the Issued Instruments and the cash consideration received was $218.6 million, which represents the value of the price protection rights provided under the PPA. As a result, the Company received total consideration of $768.6 million.
The Company allocated the total consideration received among the Issued Instruments, considering whether the instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As none of the Issued Instruments will be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the $768.6 million was allocated on a relative fair value basis to the Issued Instruments. The Company incurred $11.3 million of capitalizable transaction costs, which were allocated to the Issued Instruments and the PPA on a proportional basis. The following table presents the initially recognized amounts for the DoW Transactions:

The Company does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any investments in unrealized loss positions before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The Company did not recognize any credit losses related to its available-for-sale investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024. The unrealized losses on the Company’s available-for-sale investments were primarily due to unfavorable changes in interest rates subsequent to initial purchase. None of the available-for-sale investments held as of September 30, 2025, were in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months and the unrealized losses and the related risk of expected credit losses were not material. The Company’s gross realized gains and losses were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
The Company’s interest and investment income, which is included in “Other income, net” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, was as follows:

The stockpiled ore and stockpiled concentrate amounts were $23.8 million and $20.0 million as of September 30, 2025, respectively, and $12.3 million and zero as of December 31, 2024, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded lower of cost or net realizable value reserves of $6.4 million and $15.1 million, respectively, on certain work in process and finished goods inventories. These amounts represent decreases of $0.3 million and $2.7 million from the reserves recorded as of June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The reserves were largely attributable to continued elevated carrying costs of the Company’s production of separated products given the current stage of ramping the midstream operations facilities to normalized production levels. Changes in the reserve are included in “Cost of sales (excluding depreciation, depletion and amortization) (including related party)” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 7—EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT
The Company’s equity method investment balance, which was included in “Other non-current assets” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was zero and $9.1 million, as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and pertained to the Company’s 49% equity interest in VREX Holdco Pte. Ltd. (“VREX Holdco”). VREX Holdco wholly owns Vietnam Rare Earth Company Limited (“VREX”), which owns and operates a metal processing plant and related facilities in Vietnam. At the time of the initial investment, the Company determined that VREX Holdco was a variable interest entity, but that the Company was not the primary beneficiary. Consequently, the Company did not consolidate VREX Holdco, and instead, accounted for its investment in VREX Holdco under the equity method of accounting as it had the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over VREX Holdco’s operating and financial policies.
In May 2025, the Company sold its 49% interest in VREX Holdco back to VREX Holdco in exchange for a cash payment of $9.7 million. Upon the sale, the Company derecognized its VREX Holdco equity method investment carrying amount and recorded a gain of $1.3 million for the difference between the selling price and the investment’s carrying amount; the gain was included in “Other income, net” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. No impairment charges were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
The Company’s share of VREX Holdco’s net loss, which was included in “Other income, net” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, was not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
NOTE 8—INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company’s intangible assets are included within “Other non-current assets” in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and consisted of the following:

Amortization expense related to amortizing intangible assets was $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. No impairment charges were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
NOTE 9—ASSET RETIREMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company estimates asset retirement obligations based on the requirements to reclaim certain land areas associated with mineral extraction activities and certain related facilities at Mountain Pass. Minor reclamation activities related to discrete portions of the Company’s operations are ongoing. As of September 30, 2025, the Company estimated a significant portion of the cash outflows for major reclamation activities, including the retirement of Mountain Pass, will be incurred beginning in 2053.
As of September 30, 2025, the credit-adjusted risk-free rate ranged between 6.5% and 11.5% depending on the timing of expected settlement and when the increment was recognized. There were no significant increments or decrements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
The non-current portions of the Company’s asset retirement obligations, which are included in “Other non-current liabilities” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $7.6 million and $7.2 million as of
September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The current portions, which are included in “Other current liabilities” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, were not material. The total estimated future undiscounted cash flows required to satisfy the Company’s asset retirement obligations were $51.4 million and $51.6 million as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Environmental Obligations
The Company has certain environmental monitoring and remediation obligations related to the groundwater contamination in and around Mountain Pass. The Company engages environmental consultants to develop remediation plans and the related cost projections, which are used to develop an estimate of future cash payments to estimate the Company’s environmental obligations. As assessments and remediation progress occur, the Company periodically reviews its estimates and records any necessary adjustments in the period in which new information becomes available.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company estimated the cash outflows related to these environmental activities will be incurred annually over the next 30 years but could be longer. The Company’s environmental obligations are measured at the expected value of future cash outflows discounted to their present value using a discount rate of 4.78%. There were no significant changes in the estimated remaining costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
The total estimated aggregate undiscounted cost of $38.8 million and $39.5 million as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, principally related to groundwater monitoring and remediation activities required by state and local agencies. Based on the Company’s estimate of the cost and timing and the assumption that payments are considered to be fixed and reliably determinable, the Company has discounted the liability. The non-current portions of the Company’s environmental obligations, which are included in “Other non-current liabilities” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $18.1 million as of both September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. The current portions, which are included in “Other current liabilities” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, were not material.
Financial Assurances
The Company is required to provide certain government agencies with financial assurances relating to closure and reclamation obligations. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had financial assurance requirements of $45.4 million and $45.5 million, respectively, which were satisfied with surety bonds placed with applicable California state and regional agencies.

Revolving Credit Facility
In August 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and various other lenders, providing a $275.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), maturing on August 25, 2030, with a $200.0 million letter of credit facility sublimit (the “Credit Agreement”). As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, $160.0 million of unused letter of credit capacity, and $235.0 million of remaining borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Interest rates under the Revolving Credit Facility are variable based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), or at the Company’s option, at a base reference rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” in the U.S., (iii) the one-month SOFR rate plus 1.00% or (iv) 1.00% (the “Base Rate”), plus, as applicable, a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% per annum for SOFR-based loans and ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, in each case, depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio.
The Credit Agreement is subject to financial covenants that are tested at the end of each fiscal quarter. From the inception of the Credit Agreement until the earlier of the fiscal quarter in which Consolidated EBITDA (as calculated and defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company equals or exceeds $400.0 million for the test period and the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2027 (the “Covenant Trigger Event”), the Company must maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of at least $500.0 million. Following the Covenant Trigger Event, the Company is required to maintain a total leverage ratio of less than 4.00:1.00, or 4.50:1.00 for the fiscal quarter of and the three consecutive fiscal quarters following any material acquisition, and a cash interest coverage ratio greater than 3.0:1.0.
The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions. Failure to comply with any of the covenants associated with the Credit Agreement could result in a default under its agreements. Such a default would permit lenders to accelerate the maturity of the debt and to foreclose upon any collateral securing such debt. The Company was in compliance with the applicable financial covenant contained in the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2025.
Convertible Notes due 2026
In March 2021, the Company issued $690.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.25% unsecured convertible senior notes (the “2026 Notes”) at a price of par. Interest on the 2026 Notes is payable on April 1st and October 1st of each year, beginning on October 1, 2021.
In March 2024, contemporaneous with the pricing of the 2030 Notes (as defined below), the Company entered into privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Notes to repurchase $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, using $358.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2030 Notes. The price the Company paid to repurchase the 2026 Notes, 89.5% of par value, was the same for each lender and approximated the trading price of the 2026 Notes at the time of the repurchases. Subsequent to the issuance of the 2030 Notes, the Company repurchased an additional $80.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes in open market transactions for $70.6 million. As a
result of these repurchases in the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $46.3 million gain on early extinguishment of debt included within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The remaining 2026 Notes outstanding mature, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased, on April 1, 2026, and become convertible at the option of the holder beginning on January 1, 2026, through the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The initial conversion price of the remaining 2026 Notes is approximately $44.28 per share, or 22.5861 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. As of September 30, 2025, the 2026 Notes are included in “Current portion of long-term debt” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the 2026 Notes maturing within one year.
In March 2024, the Company provided a written notice to the trustee and the holders of the 2026 Notes that it has irrevocably elected to fix the settlement method for all conversions that may occur subsequent to the election date, to a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock with the specified dollar amount, per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes, of $1,000. As a result, for any conversions of 2026 Notes occurring after the election date, a converting holder will receive (i) up to $1,000 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes and (ii) shares of the Company’s common stock for any conversion consideration in excess of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes converted. Prior to the election being made, the Company could have elected to settle the 2026 Notes in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof.
Prior to January 1, 2026, at their election, holders of the 2026 Notes may convert their outstanding notes under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing with the third quarter of 2021 if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “2026 Notes measurement period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes) per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes for each trading day of the 2026 Notes measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (iii) if the Company calls any or all of the 2026 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (iv) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events set forth in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes.
During the third quarter of 2025, the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeded the 130% of the applicable conversion price on at least 20 of the last 30 consecutive trading days, causing the 2026 Notes to be convertible by their holders in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Convertible Notes due 2030
In March 2024, the Company issued $747.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.00% unsecured convertible senior notes that mature, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased, on March 1, 2030 (the “2030 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes, the “Convertible Notes”), at a price of par. Interest on the 2030 Notes is payable on March 1st and September 1st of each year, beginning on September 1, 2024.
The 2030 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion price of approximately $21.74 per share, or 45.9939 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Notes, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.
Prior to December 1, 2029, at their election, holders of the 2030 Notes may convert their outstanding notes under the following circumstances: i) during any calendar quarter commencing with the third quarter of 2024 if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; ii) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “2030 Notes measurement period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the indenture governing the 2030 Notes) per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Notes for each trading day of the 2030 Notes measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; iii) if the Company calls any or all of the 2030 Notes for redemption, the notes called for redemption may be converted at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or iv) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events set forth in the indenture governing the 2030 Notes. On or after December 1, 2029, and prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding
the maturity date of the 2030 Notes, holders may convert their outstanding notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
During the third quarter of 2025, the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeded the 130% of the applicable conversion price on at least 20 of the last 30 consecutive trading days, causing the 2030 Notes to be convertible by their holders in the fourth quarter of 2025. As noted above, the settlement method of the 2030 Notes is at the Company’s election.
The Company has the option to redeem for cash the 2030 Notes, in whole or in part, beginning on March 5, 2027, if certain conditions are met as set forth in the indenture governing the 2030 Notes. The redemption price is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Capped Call Options
In March 2024, in connection with the offering of the 2030 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Options”) with certain financial institutions (“Counterparties”). The Capped Call Options cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those in the 2030 Notes, 34.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock, the same number of shares that initially underlie the 2030 Notes issued in March 2024. The Capped Call Options have an expiration date of March 1, 2030, subject to earlier exercise.
The Capped Call Options are intended, subject to the Company’s discretion and depending on whether it elects to exercise its rights under such options, to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon conversion of the 2030 Notes and/or offset cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted 2030 Notes, as the case may be. This would apply in the event that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Options, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Options, which initially corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2030 Notes, or approximately $21.74 per share of common stock, with such reduction and/or offset subject to an initial cap of $31.06 per share of the Company’s common stock.
The Capped Call Options are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with each of the Counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the 2030 Notes. Holders of the 2030 Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Options. The Capped Call Options meet the criteria for classification as equity and, as such, are not remeasured each reporting period. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company paid $65.3 million for the Capped Call Options, which was recorded as a reduction to “Additional paid-in capital” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets along with the offsetting associated deferred tax impact of $16.1 million.
The Company elected to integrate the Capped Call Options with those 2030 Notes issued in March 2024 for federal income tax purposes pursuant to applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, the $65.3 million gross cost of the purchased Capped Call Options will be deductible for income tax purposes as original discount interest over the term of the 2030 Notes.
Interest cost related to the Convertible Notes was as follows:

The debt issuance costs associated with the 2026 Notes and the 2030 Notes are being amortized to interest expense over the terms of each note at effective interest rates of 0.51% and 3.52%, respectively. The remaining terms of the 2026 Notes and the 2030 Notes were 0.5 years and 4.4 years, respectively, as of September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, accrued and unpaid interest pertaining to the Convertible Notes was $2.2 million and $8.7 million, respectively, and is included in “Other current liabilities” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Samarium Project Loan
As discussed in Note 3, “Public-Private Partnership with U.S. Department of War,” in August 2025, the Company issued a $150 million unsecured promissory note to the DoW with a 12-year term, maturing on August 1, 2037. The Samarium Project
Loan bears interest at a rate of 5.38% per annum, calculated as the 10-year U.S. Treasury constant maturity rate plus 1.00%. Interest on the Samarium Project Loan is payable in cash quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each calendar quarter, beginning on October 15, 2025. The Samarium Project Loan was recorded at its allocated fair value, based on its relative fair value to the other Issued Instruments. This resulted in a debt discount of $64.0 million as the Samarium Project Loan bears interest at a rate lower than the market interest rate applicable to the Company. See Note 3, “Public-Private Partnership with U.S. Department of War,” for additional information regarding the allocation of consideration and issuance costs. The debt discount and issuance costs associated with the Samarium Project Loan are amortized to interest expense over the term of the note at an effective interest rate of 12.3%. The Company may prepay the Samarium Project Loan, in whole or in part, at any time, including all accrued interest, without premium, cost or penalty. The outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest under the Samarium Project Loan become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of certain conditions, such as payment defaults, as specified in the promissory note to the DoW.
Commitment Letter
As discussed in Note 3, “Public-Private Partnership with U.S. Department of War,” in July 2025, the Company obtained the Commitment Letter from the Banks, pursuant to which the Banks agreed to provide committed secured financing, subject to customary terms and conditions, in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, at least $1 billion. The Commitment Letter expired undrawn under its own terms on August 26, 2025, as it was reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the funding raised through the Offering and upon the Company’s execution of the Revolving Credit Facility. In connection with the issuance of the Commitment Letter, the Company incurred $7.4 million of nonrefundable commitment and structuring fees which were recorded as an expense in “Advanced projects and development” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Equipment Notes
In December 2024, the Company entered into a secured uncommitted non-revolving credit facility (the “Uncommitted Credit Facility”) with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation, providing an aggregate borrowing capacity of $25.0 million, which the Company may use only to finance agreed-upon equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company executed promissory notes under the Uncommitted Credit Facility to finance new equipment, including trucks and wheel loaders, for use at Mountain Pass. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no available borrowing capacity under the Uncommitted Credit Facility. The Company’s equipment notes, which are secured by the purchased equipment, have terms of between 4 years to 6 years and fixed interest rates of between 6.7% and 7.4% per annum. The purchase of equipment through the execution of these notes is disclosed as a non-cash investing and financing activity in Note 23, “Supplemental Cash Flow Information.”
The current and non-current portions of the equipment notes, which are included within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities,” respectively, were as follows:

As of September 30, 2025, other than the Credit Agreement, none of the agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness contain financial covenants.
NOTE 12—OPERATING LEASES
The Company’s operating leases consist primarily of corporate office space, warehouses, and equipment used in its operations; the Company’s finance leases are not material. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was not reasonably certain of exercising any material purchase, renewal, or termination options contained within its lease agreements. No right-of-use asset impairment charges were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

NOTE 13—INCOME TAXES
The Company calculates the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate to its year-to-date pretax book income or loss. The tax effects of discrete items, including but not limited to, excess tax benefits or deficiencies associated with stock-based compensation, valuation allowance adjustments based on new evidence, and enactment of tax laws, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. The effective tax rate (income tax expense or benefit as a percentage of income or loss before income taxes) including discrete items was 28.5% and 25.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to 26.8% and 27.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
The Company’s effective income tax rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, percentage depletion, executive compensation deduction limitations, the Section 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit (the “45X Credit”), and changes to its valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. Certain of these and other factors, including the Company’s history and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, are considered in assessing its ability to realize its net deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2025, the Company provided a valuation allowance against certain state tax credits that it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, are not more likely than not to be realized.
In March 2024, the Company was awarded a $58.5 million Section 48C Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Tax Credit (the “48C Credit”) to advance the construction on the Independence Facility. The 48C Credit is an investment tax credit equal to 30% of qualified investments for certified projects that meet prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements and are placed in service after the date of the award. The current and noncurrent portions of the 48C Credit recognized are included in “Other current liabilities” and “Deferred investment tax credit,” respectively, within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. Among other provisions, the OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the phase-out of the 45X Credit by 2034. The enactment of the tax reform provisions did not have a material impact on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 14—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation: The Company may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings, and government investigations, including environmental, regulatory, construction, and other matters, in the ordinary course of business. Large, and sometimes unspecified, damages or penalties may be sought in some matters, and certain matters may require years to resolve. Other than the matter described below, the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company is currently in a dispute with a general contractor for a construction project, which is in binding arbitration. While the Company disputes that it owes any monies (and believes it has a valid claim against the contractor) in connection with this construction project, at present, the Company has accrued an estimate of the potential loss, which is included in “Accrued construction costs” within “Accrued liabilities” in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in the binding arbitration, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the period in which the contingency is resolved.
NOTE 15—REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
On July 10, 2025, the Board of Directors for the Company authorized the designation of 400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per Series A Preferred Stock (the “Stated Value”) from the Company’s existing 50,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock. The Company issued the authorized Series A Preferred Stock through a private placement to the DoW for cash consideration of $400.0 million.
The Series A Preferred Stock was initially recorded at its allocated fair value, based on its relative fair value to the other Issued Instruments, of $413.6 million, net of allocated issuance costs of $4.8 million (see Note 3, “Public-Private Partnership with U.S. Department of War,” for additional information regarding the allocation of consideration and issuance costs). As of September 30, 2025, the carrying amount of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, net of issuance costs, was $413.6 million. The Company did not adjust the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock to the current redemption value as a deemed liquidation event was not probable as of September 30, 2025. Subsequent adjustments to increase or decrease the carrying amount to the ultimate redemption value will be made only if a deemed liquidation event (i) has occurred or (ii) becomes probable of occurring in the future.
Dividends: Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock accrue cumulative dividends at a rate of 7.0% per year, compounding quarterly and payable solely in-kind through an increase to the Stated Value of each share of Series A Preferred Stock (each such dividend, a “PIK Dividend”). The Stated Value plus compounded PIK Dividends (the “Accumulated Stated Value”) is only payable by the Company in cash or other assets upon the occurrence of certain insolvency events, including a deemed liquidation event (i.e., it represents the liquidation preference of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock). Further, the PIK Dividend does not influence the conversion price or the number of common shares that would be issued to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock upon conversion. As the PIK Dividend is a liquidation preference, it will not be accounted for as an adjustment to the Series A Preferred Stock’s carrying amount until a deemed liquidation event occurs or becomes probable of occurring.
The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock also participate in any dividends declared and paid to holders of the Company’s common stock. Within 15 business days following the end of a calendar year, the Company will pay cash to the holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock, on an as-converted basis, the amount, if any, by which the aggregate cash dividends paid by the Company on each share of common stock in the prior year exceed 7.0% of the Company’s common stock closing share price on the last trading day of the preceding year (the “Special Payment”).
Voting Rights: The Series A Preferred Stock is nonvoting on all matters, other than those that would have a material adverse effect on the special rights, powers, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Conversion: At the election of the DoW, the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 13,320,013 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $30.03, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.
At the election of the Company, any time after the five-year anniversary of issuance, if the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 150% of the then-current conversion price for at least 20 trading days in any period of 30 consecutive trading days, the Company may elect to convert all or any portion of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at the then-current conversion price.
Redemption: Redemption is contingent upon certain insolvency events, including a deemed liquidation event, or upon certain reorganization events (e.g., share exchange, recapitalization, consolidation, or merger). The Series A Preferred Stock is classified as redeemable preferred stock (i.e., temporary equity) within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets due to redemption rights for a deemed liquidation event that, in certain circumstances, is not solely within the Company’s control.
Liquidation Rights: In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation (e.g., a deemed liquidation event), holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a distribution before any distribution to the holders of the Company’s common stock. The liquidation preference payable in cash or other assets equals the greater of (i) the Accumulated Stated Value plus accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Floor”) and (ii) the amount the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock would have received had all the Series A Preferred Stock been converted into common stock at the then-current conversion price immediately prior to such liquidation event. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the aggregate minimum liquidation preference was $406.4 million and zero, respectively, which is represented by the Liquidation Floor.
NOTE 16—REVENUE RECOGNITION

Rare earth concentrate revenue was primarily generated from sales to Shenghe under the Shenghe Offtake Agreement. The sales price of rare earth concentrate sold to Shenghe was based on a preliminary market price (net of taxes, tariffs, and certain other agreed charges) per MT and estimated exchange rate between the Chinese yuan and the U.S. dollar, with an adjustment for the ultimate market price of the product realized by Shenghe upon sales to their customers, including the impact of changes in the exchange rate between the Chinese yuan and the U.S. dollar.
NdPr oxide and metal revenue was generated from individual sales agreements as well as sales made under the Company’s distribution agreement with Sumitomo Corporation of Americas.
Magnetic precursor products revenue commenced in the first quarter of 2025 and was generated from sales of NdPr metal produced at the Independence Facility under the long-term supply agreement with GM. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $21.9 million and $47.0 million, respectively, of revenue under a bill-and-hold arrangement, under which control of the product transfers to the customer, but the product remains in the physical possession of the Company. The performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time the finished product is packaged, segregated and ready for shipment to GM. There were no bill-and-hold transactions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Additionally, on July 14, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive, long-term supply agreement with Apple for the development, manufacture, and supply of magnets from the Company’s Independence Facility, as well as the development and installation of scaled recycling capabilities at Mountain Pass to produce the contained rare earths from post-industrial and post-consumer recycled rare earth feedstocks. In connection with the agreement, and subject to achieving specified milestones, Apple agreed to make prepayments in the aggregate amount of $200.0 million for the purchase of magnets from the Company. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had not yet recognized any revenue under this arrangement.
Contract Balances: The Company recognizes revenue based on the criteria set forth in ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Given the nature of the Company’s contracts with customers, contract assets are not material for any period presented. Furthermore, the amount of revenue recognized in the periods presented from performance obligations that were satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods were not material to any period presented.
Contract liabilities, commonly referred to as deferred revenue, represent the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration or has the unconditional right to receive consideration in advance of such transfer. Deferred revenue decreases as revenue is recognized from the satisfaction of the related performance obligations.
The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s deferred revenue:

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company recognized $21.9 million and zero, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period. |
Pursuant to the long-term agreement with GM, GM prepaid to the Company $50.0 million in April 2025 and $100.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, for magnetic precursor products. The $50.0 million received in April 2025 was the final prepayment for magnetic precursor products under the long-term agreement with GM.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company classified $82.2 million of the $103.0 million total remaining prepayment from GM as current deferred revenue and $20.8 million as non-current deferred revenue in its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the Company’s expectation of when the performance obligations will be satisfied. The Company currently estimates that the performance obligations associated with the current deferred revenue from GM will be satisfied within one year after September 30, 2025, and between approximately one and two years after the same date for the non-current deferred revenue from GM. The Company’s estimate of when the performance obligations will be satisfied and revenue will be recognized is dependent upon various operational decisions that could impact the production levels of NdPr metal at the Independence Facility.
Pursuant to the definitive, long-term supply agreement with Apple, Apple made an initial prepayment to the Company $40.0 million in September 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company classified the $40.0 million from Apple as non-current deferred revenue in its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the Company’s expected satisfaction of the associated performance obligation beginning in 2027.
NOTE 17—GOVERNMENT GRANTS
Asset-Based Grants: In February 2022, the Company was awarded a $35.0 million contract by the DoW Office of Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment program to design and build a facility to process HREE at Mountain Pass (the “HREE Facility”) (the “HREE Production Project Agreement”). The funds received pursuant to the HREE Production Project Agreement reduce the carrying amount of the fixed assets associated with the HREE Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received $24.2 million from the DoW under the HREE Production Project Agreement. No such funds were received from the DoW during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Income-Based Grants: In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, promotes clean energy adoption by providing several tax incentives for the domestic production and sale of eligible components. Specifically, the 45X Credit provides a credit equal to 10% of eligible “production costs incurred” with respect to the production and sale of critical minerals, including NdPr oxide.
As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the government grant receivable balance and deferred government grant balance within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets pertained to the 45X Credit. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company received $19.4 million related to the 45X Credit claimed on its 2023 federal tax return. The current portion of deferred government grant, which is included in “Other current liabilities,” was $2.3 million and $2.0 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

NOTE 18—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Public Offering of Common Stock
In July 2025, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 13,590,908 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price to the public of $55.00 per share (the “Offering”). The underwriters purchased the shares of common stock at the price of $53.35, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock, solely to cover over-allotments. The Company’s net proceeds from the Offering were $724.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
Warrant
As discussed in Note 3, “Public-Private Partnership with U.S. Department of War,” on July 10, 2025, the Company issued the Warrant to the DoW, exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, in cash or in net share settlement at the DoW’s option, for a period of ten years prior to its expiration on July 10, 2035, for up to 11,201,659 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial exercise price of $30.03 per share. The strike price of $30.03 is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Warrant was classified as an equity instrument included in “Additional paid-in capital” within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and was initially recorded at its allocated fair value, based on its relative fair value to the other Issued Instruments, of $261.2 million, net of allocated issuance costs of $3.0 million (see Note 3, “Public-Private Partnership with U.S. Department of War,” for additional information regarding the allocation of consideration and issuance costs). As of September 30, 2025, no shares of common stock had been issued pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant.
Treasury Stock
In March 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “Program”) effective for one year under which the Company became authorized to repurchase up to an aggregate amount of $300.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In August 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $300.0 million increase to the Program, bringing the total authorized amount to $600.0 million. The authorization did not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares. On July 11, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the DoW Transaction Agreements, the Company terminated the Program, which would have otherwise continued until August 30, 2026.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 2.2 million and 15.2 million shares, respectively, of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $24.3 million and $225.1 million, respectively. Of the number of shares repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 12.3 million were repurchased in March 2024 contemporaneous with the 2030 Notes offering using $191.6 million of the net proceeds from such offering. The shares repurchased in connection with the 2030 Notes offering were privately negotiated transactions with or through one of the initial purchasers of the 2030 Notes or its affiliate at a price of $15.53 per share, which was equal to the closing price per share of common stock on the date of such transactions. No shares were repurchased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Stock-Based Compensation
2020 Incentive Plan: In November 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the MP Materials Corp. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Incentive Plan”), which permits the Company to issue stock options (incentive and/or non-qualified); stock appreciation rights (“SARs”); restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other stock awards (collectively, the “Stock Awards”); and performance awards, which vest contingent upon the attainment of either or a combination of market- or performance-based goals. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has not issued any stock options or SARs and there were 4,592,490 shares available for future grants under the 2020 Incentive Plan.
Performance-Based PSUs**:** In March 2025, pursuant to the 2020 Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a performance share plan (the “2025 Performance Share Plan”). Pursuant to the 2025 Performance Share Plan, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted 235,533 of performance-based PSUs at target, all of which cliff vest after a requisite performance period of three years. The performance-based PSUs have a requisite service period of approximately three years and have the potential to be earned in 50% increments between 0% and 200% of the number of granted awards depending on the achievement of the performance conditions. The fair value of these performance-based PSUs was determined using the Company’s stock price on the grant date.

NOTE 19—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; | |||||||
| Level 2: | Quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability and model-based valuation techniques (e.g., the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. | |||||||
| Level 3: | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate. The fair value of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates the carrying amounts because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The fair values of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate the fair value of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash due to the short-term nature of these assets.
Short-term Investments
The fair value of the Company’s short-term investments, which are classified as available-for-sale securities, is estimated based on quoted prices in active markets and is classified as a Level 1 measurement.
Convertible Notes
The fair value of the Company’s Convertible Notes is estimated based on quoted prices in active markets and is classified as a Level 1 measurement.
Samarium Project Loan
The fair value of the Company’s Samarium Project Loan is based on inputs that are directly observable for substantially the full term of the liability and is classified as a Level 2 measurement. Model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in active markets were used to calculate the fair value of this liability.
Equipment Notes
The fair value of the Company’s equipment notes is based on inputs that are directly observable for substantially the full term of the liability and is classified as a Level 2 measurement. Model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in active markets were used to calculate the fair values for these liabilities.
The Company’s financial instrument assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values by input level of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows:

NOTE 20—LOSS PER SHARE
Net income or loss attributable to common stock is computed using the two-class method when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net income or loss attributable to each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires undistributed earnings for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock contractually entitles the holders of such shares to potentially participate in dividends by way of the Special Payment (as further described in Note 15, “Redeemable Preferred Stock”), but does not
contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, during the periods when there is a net loss, no amounts of undistributed losses are allocated to the Company’s participating securities.
Basic earnings or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, both adjusted by the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method, the if-converted method, or the two-class method, as applicable.
The following table reconciles the weighted-average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic earnings or loss per common share to the weighted-average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings or loss per common share:

(1)The nine months ended September 30, 2024, were tax-effected at a rate of 27.5%.
(2)Pertains to the 2026 Notes, a portion of which were repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes in March 2024, the Company entered into the Capped Call Options, which were not included for purposes of calculating the number of diluted shares outstanding, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The Company has not exercised any of the Capped Call Options as of September 30, 2025.
As discussed in Note 11, “Debt Obligations,” in March 2024, the Company provided a written notice to the trustee and the holders of the 2026 Notes that it has irrevocably elected to fix the settlement method for all conversions that may occur subsequent to the election date, to a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock with the specified dollar amount per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes of $1,000. As a result, subsequent to the election, only the amounts in excess of the principal amount are considered in diluted earnings or loss per share. The amount of the 2026 Notes settled in shares of common stock will have a dilutive impact on diluted earnings or loss per share when the average market price of the Company’s common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price, which was initially approximately $44.28 per share of common stock.
NOTE 21—RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Shenghe Offtake Agreement: In January 2024, the Company entered into an offtake agreement (the “Shenghe Offtake Agreement”) with Shenghe Resources (Singapore) International Trading Pte. Ltd. (“Shenghe”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Leshan Shenghe Rare Earth Co., Ltd. whose ultimate parent is Shenghe Resources Holding Co., Ltd., a leading global rare earth company listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The Shenghe Offtake Agreement replaced and extended the offtake agreement with Shenghe entered into in March 2022.
Pursuant to the Shenghe Offtake Agreement, and subject to certain exclusions, Shenghe was obligated to purchase on a “take or pay” basis the rare earth concentrate produced by the Company as the exclusive distributor in China, with certain exceptions for the Company’s direct sales globally. In addition, at the discretion of the Company, Shenghe was required to purchase on a “take or pay” basis certain non-concentrate rare earth products, although the Company may have sold all non-concentrate rare earth products in its sole discretion to customers or end users in any jurisdiction. Under the Shenghe Offtake Agreement, Shenghe was paid a variable commission on net proceeds to the Company.
In July 2025, to align with the terms of the DoW Transaction Agreements and in further support of its domestic supply chain objectives, the Company ceased all sales of its products to China and will not extend the term of the Shenghe Offtake Agreement when it expires in January 2026.
Tolling Agreement with VREX Holdco: In October 2023, the Company entered into a tolling agreement with VREX Holdco (the “Tolling Agreement”), which has an initial term of three years with options to be renewed for additional three-year terms. Pursuant to the Tolling Agreement, the Company delivered NdPr oxide to VREX Holdco, which VREX Holdco then
caused VREX to process into NdPr metal for delivery to the Company’s customers globally in exchange for a processing fee per unit of rare earth metal produced paid to VREX Holdco. The Company maintained title to the products and directly entered into sales agreements for the produced NdPr metal.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company sold its 49% interest in VREX Holdco in exchange for a cash payment of $9.7 million. See Note 7, “Equity Method Investment,” for additional information.
Revenue and Cost of Sales: The Company’s related-party revenue and cost of sales were as follows:

Purchases of Materials and Supplies: The Company purchases certain reagent products (generally produced by an unrelated third-party manufacturer) used in the flotation process, as well as other materials from Shenghe in the ordinary course of business. Total purchases were $3.6 million and $19.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to $1.8 million and $4.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Accounts Receivable: As of September 30, 2025, accounts receivable from related parties were not material. As of December 31, 2024, $14.9 million of the accounts receivable as stated within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were receivable from and pertained to sales made to Shenghe in the ordinary course of business.
Aircraft Lease and Time Sharing Agreement: On November 13, 2024, the Company entered into an aircraft operating lease agreement effective as of January 1, 2025, with an entity affiliated with James H. Litinsky, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, providing for the lease of an aircraft (the “Aircraft Lease”). The rent payable by the Company under the Aircraft Lease is $0.5 million per year.
In addition, on November 13, 2024, the Company entered into a time sharing agreement effective as of January 1, 2025, with Mr. Litinsky, pursuant to which he may lease the aircraft from the Company for limited personal use (“Time Sharing Agreement”). For flights taken under the Time Sharing Agreement, Mr. Litinsky will pay for the actual expenses of such flights as listed in the Time Sharing Agreement, but not to exceed the maximum amount permitted under the Federal Aviation Administration rules.
In connection with the Company’s use of the aircraft, the Company contracted with a third party and pays for certain fixed and variable expenses associated with the Company’s use of the aircraft.
NOTE 22—SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company’s reportable segments, which are primarily based on the Company’s internal organizational structure and types of products, are its two operating segments—Materials and Magnetics (no operating segments have been aggregated). Where applicable, prior period amounts have been recast to conform to this segment reporting structure, which was modified during the fourth quarter of 2024.
The Materials segment operates Mountain Pass, which produces refined rare earth products as well as rare earth concentrate and related products. The Materials segment generates revenue primarily from sales of NdPr oxide and metal, primarily sold to customers in Japan, South Korea, and broader Asia. The Materials segment historically also generated revenue from sales of rare earth concentrate, which was primarily sold for further distribution to a single customer in China. Refer to the “Concentration of Risk” section in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” and Note 21, “Related-Party Transactions,” for additional information.
The Magnetics segment operates the Independence Facility, where the Company produces and sells magnetic precursor products and anticipates manufacturing NdFeB permanent magnets by the end of 2025. The first sales of magnetic precursor products, including NdPr metal, were made to GM and were recognized during the first quarter of 2025.
The CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA as management’s primary segment measure of profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate the Company’s resources. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as segment revenues less significant segment expenses, specifically, cost of sales (excluding depreciation, depletion and amortization and stock-based compensation expense) and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation expense), as well as certain other operating expenses (referred to as “other segment items”). Significant segment expenses and other segment items also exclude certain costs that are non-recurring, non-cash or are not related to the segments’ underlying business performance. A reconciliation of total Segment Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated loss before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, is included in the tables below.
As the Company’s CODM manages the Company’s assets on a consolidated basis, the CODM is not regularly provided asset information for the reportable segments.
