Forward-looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this press release and on the conference call (see information below) are or contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which involve risks and uncertainties include statements relating to the Company's expectations for future development, operations, business strategies and financial performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as "anticipate", "believe", "can", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "intend", "may", "might", "plan", "possible", "potential", "predict", "project", "seek", "should", "strive", "target", "will", "would" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: risks related to the Company's 1) development of its magnet production facility and the timing of expected production milestones; 2) competition in the magnet manufacturing industry; 3) ability to grow and manage growth profitably; 4) ability to build or maintain relationships with customers and suppliers; 5) ability to attract and retain management and key employees; 6) supply and demand for rare earth minerals; 7) timing and amount of future production; 8) costs of production, capital expenditures and requirements for additional capital, including the need to raise additional capital to implement the Company's strategic plan; 9) substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of our second quarter 2025 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; 10) timing of future cash flow provided by operating activities, if any; 11) uncertainty in any mineral estimates, uncertainty in any geological, metallurgical, and geotechnical studies and opinions; and 12) transportation risks. Detailed information regarding factors that may cause actual results to differ materially has been and will be included in the Company's periodic filings with the SEC, including the Company's Form 10-K that the Company filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025 and the Company's latest Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of their date, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after their date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net loss, and adjusted net loss per common share. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends related to the Company's financial condition and results of operations, and as a supplemental tool for investors to use in evaluating its ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies that present similar non-GAAP financial measures. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business. Current and prospective investors should review the Company's audited annual and unaudited interim financial statements, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Notes to the Financial Results
- Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net loss attributable to common stockholders which excludes (loss) gain on fair market value of financial instruments.
- Adjusted net loss per common share - Basic and Diluted is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net loss attributable to common stockholders which excludes (loss) gain on fair market value of financial instruments, divided by basic and diluted shares outstanding, respectively.
