The Company confirmed that construction of its Stillwater, Oklahoma magnet manufacturing facility remains on schedule for commissioning in the first quarter of 2026.

Additionally, the Company successfully extracted gallium and heavy rare earth concentrates from its Round Top deposit, underscoring its capability to advance domestic sourcing and processing of critical minerals.
• Strengthening Market Position and Customer Engagement: Chief Executive Officer Joshua Ballard highlighted a growing wave of customer interest as USA Rare Earth nears operational readiness. The Company is currently engaged with over 70 prospective customers across multiple high-growth industries, with early indications suggesting that the first 1,200-ton production line at Stillwater could achieve full capacity utilization before commissioning. Ballard emphasized that the Company’s integrated mine-to-magnet supply chain strategy is positioning USA Rare Earth as a pivotal player in the global rare earth and magnet industry, capable of offering secure, domestic supply alternatives amid increasing geopolitical and technological demand pressures.
• Robust Liquidity and Financial Discipline: USA Rare Earth ended the second quarter of 2025 with a strong liquidity position, reporting USD 121.8 million in cash and no significant debt. As of August 7, 2025, the Company’s cash balance further increased to USD 128.1 million, reflecting disciplined capital management and operational prudence. Net cash used in operating activities totaled USD 7.9 million for the quarter, compared with USD 4.0 million in the prior-year period, as the Company expanded investment in talent, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities to support its upcoming production ramp.

The substantial increase primarily reflects non-recurring charges and accelerated investment in growth and infrastructure.
