-- Strong Market Conditions Drove Higher Pricing and Demand --
-- Logistics Disruptions Continue to Impact Lithium Supply Chains --
-- Carbonate and Hydroxide Expansions Remain on Track --
-- Increasing Full Year Guidance --
Livent Corporation (NYSE: LTHM) today reported results for the third quarter of 2021.
Revenue was $103.6 million , up 1% from the second quarter of 2021 and 43% higher versus the prior year. Reported GAAP net loss was $12.6 million , or a loss of 8 cents per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $14.9 million and adjusted earnings per share were 3 cents per diluted share.
Third quarter performance was in line with the second quarter. Continued improvement in market conditions supported higher pricing and demand. Higher realized prices were offset by higher costs and the impact of global supply chain disruptions. By the end of the third quarter, a large portion of Livent's 2021 volume commitments to customers, where pricing was set in 2020 or earlier, had been fulfilled, increasing Livent's ability to take advantage of higher prices in the remainder of the year.
"The strong growth in lithium demand that we saw in the first half of 2021 shows no signs of abating. Published and contracted prices for lithium in all forms pushed even higher in the third quarter, driven by multiple factors," said Paul Graves , president and chief executive officer of Livent.
Key Recent Developments
Livent remains on track to deliver its near-term capacity expansions, with the 5,000 metric ton hydroxide addition in Bessemer City and initial lithium carbonate expansion of 10,000 metric tons in Argentina expected to reach commercial production by the third quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, respectively. The phase 2 carbonate expansion for an additional 10,000 metric tons is scheduled to be in commercial production by the end of 2023.
Livent also continued to make progress on important sustainability initiatives that will help to achieve its 2030 and 2040 sustainability goals. This includes work on process efficiency and renewable energy opportunities; a TCFD-based analysis of the company's risks and opportunities related to climate change; and various projects to advance responsible lithium extraction in South America. In addition, prior to the United Nations conference on climate change (COP 26) , Livent committed to the UN's Race to Zero initiative and the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign.
Guidance and Outlook (1)
Livent is increasing its full year 2021 guidance ranges for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. This increase is driven by a stronger fourth quarter, with higher anticipated realized pricing and a more favorable mix. At the midpoints, the new revenue guidance implies nearly 40% growth and Adjusted EBITDA would be roughly three times higher than last year's results. Livent's 2021 total capital spending estimate of $125 million remains unchanged, with the expected increase in fourth quarter spending related to the timing of cash outflows on work already completed.
($ million) | Revised Full Year 2021E | Prior Full Year 2021E |
Revenue | 390 - 410 | 370 – 390 |
Adjusted EBITDA | 62 - 72 | 55 - 70 |
"We expect current market conditions to persist, and possibly strengthen further, through the end of 2022," continued Graves. "While we are still concluding our 2022 contracting processes, we expect realized price improvement versus 2021. Given the supply-demand tightness that is a major factor behind rising prices, we are seeing an increased focus from customers on securing reliable lithium volumes to support their own growth plans."

Livent is under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this news release to conform its prior statements to actual results or revised expectations.
- Although we provide a forecast for Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted cash from operations, 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. | In addition to net income/(loss), as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, 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/(benefit), depreciation, and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA adjusted for restructuring and other charges/(income), separation-related costs and certain other losses/(gains). 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 on long-term monetary assets associated with our capital expansion as well as significant currency devaluations. The remeasurement gains/(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 devaluation 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. Also includes transaction related legal fees and miscellaneous nonrecurring transactions. Three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes legal fees related to IPO securities litigation including a settlement accrual, net of insurance reimbursement, of $2.5 million in the third quarter. The IPO litigation settlement was finalized in the second quarter of 2021. |
c. | Represents legal, professional, transaction-related 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 temporary reduction in borrowing capacity related to the First Amendment excluded from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA because the loss is nonrecurring. |
f. | Three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 represents our 25% indirect interest in transaction costs incurred for the Nemaska Transaction, certain project-related costs and interest expense, all included in Equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 represents a portion of our nonrefundable prepaid research and development costs advanced to an unconsolidated affiliate in the fourth quarter 2019 and excluded from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA in the same period because the costs represent research and development activities of the affiliate that had not occurred as of December 31, 2019. These costs were included with our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 when the costs were incurred at the unconsolidated affiliate. |

____________________ | |
1. | The Company believes that the Non-GAAP financial measures "Adjusted after-tax earnings/(loss)" and "Diluted adjusted after-tax earnings/(loss) 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. |
a. | Represents impact of currency fluctuations on tax assets and liabilities and on long-term monetary assets associated with our capital expansion as well as significant currency devaluations. The remeasurement gains/(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. |

e. | Represents the partial write off of deferred financing costs for the temporary reduction in borrowing capacity related to the First Amendment excluded from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA because the loss is nonrecurring. |
f. | Three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 represents our 25% indirect interest in transaction costs incurred for the Nemaska Transaction, certain project-related costs and interest expense, all included in Equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 represents a portion of our nonrefundable prepaid research and development costs advanced to an unconsolidated affiliate in the fourth quarter 2019 and excluded from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA in the same period because the costs represent research and development activities of the affiliate that had not occurred as of December 31, 2019. These costs were included with our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 when the costs were incurred at the unconsolidated affiliate. |
g. | For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, $2.9 million and $8.5 million of the interest on the 2025 Notes was capitalized, respectively. |
h. | 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. |
