DOE Loan Agreement Finalized
Li-Cycle closed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy for a loan of up to $475 million, increased from a previously announced commitment of $375 million. This marks the first DOE loan for a sustainable lithium-ion battery materials company.
Revenue Growth
Total revenue increased by 79% to $8.4 million compared to the previous year, driven by higher recycling service revenue and higher metal prices.
Cost Management Success
SG&A expenses decreased by 50% to $12.9 million versus $25.9 million in 2023, primarily due to restructuring initiatives.
Black Mass Production Increase
Quarterly production of black mass and equivalents increased, with almost 2,000 tonnes sold in the quarter compared to 892 tonnes in the previous year.
Strategic Partnerships
Li-Cycle secured an offtake agreement with Glencore for 100% of MHP production and existing agreements for lithium carbonate with Traxys and Glencore.
