Key Events · Earnings and Guidance · ELVR
-
FY26 Swing to Profit
Revenue rose 39% to $201.7M and profit after tax was $44.4M versus a $247.1M loss in FY25, driven by higher spodumene sales and one-off accounting gains.
-
Impairment Reversal and Merger Write-Down
A $156.0M non-cash reversal of the NAL impairment lifted results, partly offset by a $137.0M write-down on settling the pre-existing Piedmont offtake; a $33.1M bargain-purchase gain was also booked on the merger.
-
Material Weakness in Controls
Management and Ernst & Young flagged ineffective IT general controls over user access and change management in the Canadian operations; the auditor issued an adverse ICFR opinion, though no financial misstatement was identified.
-
Moblan Reserves Reclassified
Measured and indicated resources jumped 602% to 64.62 Mt, but the prior 20.7 Mt probable reserve was folded into indicated resources and is now considered obsolete pending new reserve studies.
Analysis · ELVR · Energy & Transportation
Elevra's first full-year report as a merged company shows the business has turned around operationally: revenue rose 39% to $201.7M and the company posted a $44.4M profit after tax versus a $247.1M loss a year earlier, helped by a $156.0M non-cash impairment reversal on North American Lithium and a $33.1M bargain-purchase gain from the Piedmont merger. Against that, the filing carries two things investors need to price: an adverse auditor opinion on internal control over financial reporting tied to IT general controls at the Canadian operations (no misstatement found, remediation underway), and a Moblan resource statement that reclassifies the old 20.7 Mt probable reserve into indicated resources, leaving the property with no current reserves until new studies are done. Cash of $255.3M funds the $271M NAL expansion and a $120M-$140M FY27 capex program, but the stock sits near its 52-week low, so execution and control remediation are what matter from here.
