• Strategic Pivot to Domestic Supply Chain

  MP Materials entered a 'transformational public-private partnership' with the U.S. Department of War (DoW) and a long-term supply agreement with Apple Inc. in July 2025. This shifts the company's focus from China sales to building an end-to-end U.S. rare earth magnet supply chain, including expanding the Independence Facility and constructing a second domestic magnet manufacturing facility (10X Facility).

• Significant Capital Infusion

  The company completed a public offering of 13.6 million shares at $55.00 per share, raising $724.2 million in net proceeds. Additionally, it secured $400.0 million from Series A Preferred Stock and a $150.0 million Samarium Project Loan from the DoW, along with $200.0 million in prepayments from Apple Inc. for future magnet purchases.

• Operational Turnaround with Positive Adjusted EBITDA

  MP Materials achieved a positive Adjusted EBITDA of $11.4 million in 2025, a significant improvement from a $(50.2) million loss in 2024. This was driven by record production volumes of REO in concentrate and NdPr oxide at its Mountain Pass facility.

• Enhanced Liquidity Position

  Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments increased substantially to $1.8 billion by December 31, 2025, providing robust financial flexibility to fund ongoing and planned capital-intensive development projects.
