Non-Cash Dilution Gain Masks Operating Loss

Analysis · TMC · Energy & Transportation
The second-quarter loss narrowed to $60.1 million from $74.3 million a year earlier, but the quarter carried a heavy non-cash load: a $7.9 million charge from remeasuring the Allseas share-settled obligation and a $36.1 million deferred liability for development costs. A $23.1 million non-cash dilution gain from the stake in The Metals Royalty Company masked what would otherwise be a much wider operating loss. Cash fell to $98.7 million from $117.6 million at year-end, and management says it will need additional financing to fund operations over time. The balance sheet shows negative total equity of $27.4 million, driven by a $1.03 billion accumulated deficit.
