Livent Releases Third Quarter 2022 Results
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
-- Record Financial Performance Achieved in Third Quarter --
-- Capacity Expansions Remain on Track --
-- Increasing Midpoint of 2022 Full Year Adjusted EBITDA Guidance --
Livent Corporation (NYSE: LTHM) today reported results for the third quarter of 2022.
Revenue was $231.6 million, up 6% and 124% from the second quarter of 2022 and the prior year, respectively. Reported GAAP net income was $77.6 million, 29% higher than the previous quarter, and 37 cents per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $110.8 million, 17% above the previous quarter and over seven times higher than the prior year, and adjusted earnings per diluted share were 41 cents. Continued strength in lithium market conditions and in customer demand throughout the third quarter supported higher sequential volumes and favorable product mix.
"Lithium demand has remained robust despite some near-term supply chain disruptions and global macro concerns," said Paul Graves, president and chief executive officer of Livent. "Published lithium prices moved higher in the third quarter amid continued favorable market conditions. Livent achieved higher realized prices and delivered increased volumes to customers."
Capacity Expansion
As planned, the Company's 5,000 metric ton expansion of lithium hydroxide in Bessemer City was mechanically completed in the third quarter and is in the early stages of producing and qualifying product with customers. Livent continues to champion U.S. based lithium production and its leading domestic footprint positions the company to take advantage of incremental long-term growth opportunities available under the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which amongst other features, provides incentives to invest in localized supply chains for energy storage.
The Company remains on schedule to deliver on all its announced capacity expansions. The first 10,000 metric tons expansion of lithium carbonate in Argentina is expected to be mechanically complete by year-end 2022 and in production by the first quarter of 2023. Livent is also on track to add the next 10,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate capacity in Argentina by the end of 2023. Together, this will nearly double Livent's total available LCEs (1) from 2021 levels.
Additionally, Livent has secured a location and begun work to add an additional 15,000 metric tons of lithium hydroxide capacity in China. This production asset will be located in the province of Zhejiang and is expected to be mechanically complete by the end of 2023.
Nemaska, a fully integrated hydroxide project located in Québec, Canada in which Livent is a 50% partner, has largely completed all project engineering work and begun ordering important long lead items required for construction that is slated to begin in early 2023. Nemaska is expected to have 34,000 metric tons of nameplate capacity of battery-grade lithium hydroxide and over 30 years of mine-life. Mechanical completion remains on track for the end of 2025, with the first meaningful production expected in 2026.
Guidance and Outlook (2)
Livent has narrowed the ranges of its guidance for 2022 financial performance and increased the midpoint of its projected results for Adjusted EBITDA, underpinned by expectations for slightly higher realized pricing. For the full year, Livent now projects revenue to be in the range of $815 million to $845 million and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $350 million to $370 million.
($ million) | Revised FY 2022 | Prior FY 2022 | Actual FY 2021 | Revised YoY Growth |
Revenue | 815 – 845 | 800 - 860 | 420 | Up 97% |
Adj. EBITDA | 350 – 370 | 325 - 375 | 70 | Up 418% |

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

1. | We evaluate operating performance using certain Non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA, which we define as net income/(loss) plus interest expense, net, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization; and Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA adjusted for restructuring and other charges, separation-related costs and certain other losses. Management believes the use of these Non-GAAP measures allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of its underlying business from period to period. The Non-GAAP information provided may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because of differing methods used by other companies in calculating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. This measure should not be considered as a substitute for net income/(loss) or other measures of performance or liquidity reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The above table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from net income/(loss). |
a. | Represents impact of currency fluctuations on tax assets and liabilities and long-term monetary assets associated with our capital expansion as well as foreign currency devaluations. The remeasurement losses are included within "Cost of sales" in our condensed consolidated statement of operations but are excluded from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA because of: i.) their nature as income tax related; ii.) their association with long-term capital projects which will not be operational until future periods; or iii.) the severity of the devaluations and their immediate impact on our operations in the country. |
b. | We continually perform strategic reviews and assess the return on our business. This sometimes results in management changes or in a plan to restructure the operations of our business. As part of these restructuring plans, demolition costs and write-downs of long-lived assets may occur. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of severance costs, for management changes at certain administrative facilities and $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for miscellaneous nonrecurring costs. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 includes transaction related legal fees. |
c. | Represents legal and professional fees and other separation-related activity. |
d. | Represents incremental costs associated with COVID-19 recorded in "Cost of sales" in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, including but not limited to, incremental quarantine-related absenteeism, incremental facility cleaning costs, COVID-19 testing, pandemic-related supplies and personal protective equipment for employees, among other costs; offset by economic relief provided by foreign governments. |
e. | Represents the partial write off of deferred financing costs for the amendments to our Revolving Credit Facility excluded from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA because the loss is nonrecurring. |
f. | The three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 represents our ownership interest (which was 25% prior to June 6, 2022) in certain project-related costs, interest expense and transaction costs incurred for the Nemaska Project, all included in Equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliate in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company accounts for its equity method investment in the Nemaska Project on a one-quarter lag basis. |
g. | Represents the gain from the sale in Argentina pesos of Argentina Sovereign U.S. dollar-denominated bonds and is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because it is nonrecurring. |
h. | Represents interest income received from the Argentina government for the period beginning when the recoverability of certain of our expansion-related VAT receivables were approved by the Argentina government and ending on the date when the reimbursements were paid by the Argentina government but is excluded from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA because of its association with long-term capital projects which will not be operational until future periods. |

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

i. | For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the three months ended September 30, 2021, all of the interest was capitalized on the 2025 Notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, $8.5 million of the interest on the 2025 Notes was capitalized. |
j. | The Company excludes the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the Non-GAAP measure of income, and instead includes a Non-GAAP tax provision based upon the projected annual Non-GAAP effective tax rate. The GAAP tax provision includes certain discrete tax items including, but not limited to: income tax expenses or benefits that are not related to operating results in the current year; tax adjustments associated with fluctuations in foreign currency remeasurement of certain foreign operations; certain changes in estimates of tax matters related to prior fiscal years; certain changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets and related interim accounting impacts; and, changes in tax law. Management believes excluding these discrete tax items assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to operating results thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about the Company's operational performance. The income tax expense/(benefit) on special charges/(income) is determined using the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which the special charge or income occurred and includes both current and deferred income tax expense/(benefit) based on the nature of the Non-GAAP performance measure. |
