TORONTO, Nov. 11, 2022 /CNW/ - Neo Performance Materials Inc. ("Neo", the "Company") (TSX: NEO) released its third quarter 2022 financial results. The financial statements and management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") of these results can be viewed on Neo's web site at www.neomaterials.com/investors/ and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

"Neo is very grateful to the Government of Estonia for choosing to partner with us by providing a grant of up to $18.3 million (€18.7 million) to help accelerate our plans to construct a vertically integrated rare earth magnet manufacturing facility in Estonia," said Constantine Karayannopoulos, CEO of Neo. "Coupled with our existing rare earth separations plant in Europe, this new strategic magnet manufacturing facility will help Europe move closer to achieving its greenhouse gas reduction and climate resiliency goals."

"With regard to the quarter, while rare earth pricing remains attractive in absolute dollar terms, and is nearly double pre-pandemic norms, the retreat in pricing we have seen over the past six months placed short-term pressure on our margin levels, as higher cost inventory flows through our results of operations," he added. "This lead-lag volatility is normal in our industry and, of course, we reap the benefit in a rising price environment. More important, the strategic initiatives we are pursuing are designed to place Neo in a unique position to take full advantage of the long-term opportunities presented by the global energy transition."

HIGHLIGHTS OF Q3 2022 CONSOLIDATED PERFORMANCE

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenues of $146.6 million and $481.1 million were 22.4% and 24.7% higher, respectively, than the corresponding periods of 2021. All three segments experienced higher revenues. Selling prices for rare earth products, including Magnequench powders, rose significantly starting from the fourth quarter of 2020 and through the first quarter of 2022. By the third quarter of 2022, rare earth prices declined 30% to 40% from the peak (in the first quarter of 2022), although they remain almost 100% higher than recent historical norms. Neo benefited from rising prices from the fourth quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2022 and Neo was adversely affected by the rapid decline in prices in the third quarter of 2022. The overall pricing and margin environment is higher than historical trends but quarterly results are positively (when prices are rising) or negatively (when prices are falling) affected due to the lead-lag effect of higher cost inventory on hand. In addition to lower margin on sales in the quarter, Neo recorded $8.0 million of provisions for inventories in the third quarter, related to higher cost inventory on hand, relative to lowered selling prices. In the long term, there are higher dollar value margins available with higher prices.

Operationally, Neo reported significant increases in revenue and earnings year-over-year. Magnequench saw weaker volume across the majority of its applications due primarily to customer slowdowns in Asia related to COVID-19 and the slowdown in automotive due to the semiconductor chip shortage. C&O saw mixed volumes for rare earth elements but slower volumes in the environmental catalyst end markets driven by semiconductor chip shortages. Rare Metals saw record earnings driven by higher selling prices and the continued recovery in aerospace markets and demand from new customers in other end markets, tempered by the elimination of sales to Russian customers.

MAGNEQUENCH SEGMENT RESULTS

TABLE 2: Selected Magnequench Results
	Quarter-over-Quarter Comparison		Year-over-Year Comparison
	Q3 2022	Q3 2021	YTD Q3 2022	YTD Q3 2021
Volume (tonnes)	1,097	1,374	3,620	4,608

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾	7,282	10,503	35,384	38,872

_________________________

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenue in the Magnequench segment of $67.4 million and $219.8 million, respectively, were higher by 12.2% and 14.0%, respectively, over the prior-year periods. Volumes in the segment saw a decline with respect to the prior-year period as well as sequentially, driven largely by the recent spike in COVID-19 cases and resulting shutdowns in Asia, several natural disasters impacted production facilities and customers, and the on-going semiconductor chip shortage.

Margins per ton in the Magnequench segment remained strong in the quarter despite being lower than margins in the first half of 2022. Magnequench has pass-through pricing agreements on the vast majority of its sales contracts, and with rare earth magnetic prices having declined from March 2022, Magnequench is beginning to see the reversal of the lead-lag benefit in the three months ended September 30, 2022.

CHEMICALS & OXIDES ("C&O") SEGMENT RESULTS

TABLE 3: Selected C&O Results
	Quarter-over-Quarter Comparison		Year-over-Year Comparison
($000s)	Q3 2022	Q3 2021	YTD Q3 2022	YTD Q3 2021
Revenue	52,231	45,677	189,244	152,322
Operating (loss) income	(5,298)	7,142	21,324	27,184
EBITDA⁽¹⁾	(3,231)	8,099	26,490	22,091
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾	(3,863)	8,059	25,710	29,712

_________________________

The C&O segment continues to see strong demand for various rare earth products, particularly its magnetic-based products, although the segment was adversely affected by the rapid decline of rare earth prices while processing higher cost inventory (lead-lag impact). Rare earth prices are still more than 100% higher than prices in the 2-3 years prior to the third quarter of 2020. The outlook, both in demand and pricing, remains strong for rare earths, which is expected to lead to higher dollar value margins for C&O in the long term. The rapid decline in prices necessitated C&O to record $6.0 million of provisions for inventories in the three months ended September 30, 2022.

In C&O's environmental catalysts business, volumes were reasonably strong in the first nine months of 2022, although they were lower than the comparable period in the prior year, which benefited from customers refilling their supply chains. Volumes have seen less of an impact from the semiconductor chip shortage as occurred in Magnequench. C&O's environmentally protective water treatment solutions business continues to perform well with higher volume and new customer adoption, despite challenges in global shipping and logistics availability.

RARE METALS SEGMENT RESULTS

	Quarter-over-Quarter Comparison		Year-over-Year Comparison
($000s)	Q3 2022	Q3 2021	YTD Q3 2022	YTD Q3 2021
Revenue	31,567	19,509	86,521	56,308
Operating income	5,199	2,074	13,186	4,168
EBITDA⁽¹⁾	6,587	1,733	16,457	6,014
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾	5,797	2,715	15,312	6,080

_________________________

Rare Metals achieved record earnings in the first nine months of 2022, continuing the improvement that started in the fourth quarter of 2021. Rare Metals experienced strength in pricing for key products such as hafnium and tantalum while also benefiting from lower-cost inventory on hand. Hafnium prices, in particular, have increased rapidly starting in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the segment benefited by having lower-cost inventory on hand. In addition, the recycling purchases and activities of Rare Metals was particularly impactful to lowering its overall material costs as some of the material purchased in the quarter was not rising as fast as selling prices. While higher selling prices are leading to both lead-lag benefits as well as fundamental improvements in the margin spread between current raw material purchase costs and finished goods selling prices, this was partially offset by the segment not selling some of its niobium oxide products to customers resident in or with connections to Russia, resulting in lower margins and higher inventory on hand at period-end for its niobium oxide products.

The Rare Metals business continues to make progress in several key strategic initiatives, including selling more products outside of the aerospace industry, expanding its customer base, and diversifying its total end-market exposure. Sales prices in a number of end markets have recovered and gallium-based products are exhibiting improved market demand.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

This news release refers to certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios such as "Adjusted Net Income", "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA", and "Adjusted EBITDA Margin". These measures and ratios are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures and ratios are provided as additional information to complement IFRS financial measures by providing further understanding of Neo's results of operations from management's perspective. Neo's definitions of non-IFRS measures used in this news release may not be the same as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. Non-IFRS measures and ratios have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of Neo's financial information reported under IFRS. Neo uses non-IFRS financial measures and ratios to provide investors with supplemental measures of its base-line operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance or operating conditions and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Neo believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures and ratios in the evaluation of issuers. Neo's management also uses non-IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. For definitions of how Neo defines such financial measures and ratios, please see the "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" section of Neo's management's discussion and analysis filing for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, available on Neo's web site at www.neomaterials.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
