TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Li-Cycle Holdings Corp. (NYSE: LICY) ("Li-Cycle" or the “Company"), an industry leader in lithium-ion battery resource recovery and the leading lithium-ion battery recycler in North America, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended July 31, 2022. Revenue from product sales and recycling services were $5.4 million, an increase from $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2021. Total revenues were $(2.0) million, which included an unfavorable non-cash fair market value (FMV) pricing adjustment of $(7.3) million relating to prior-period black mass sales. In the third quarter of 2021, total revenue was $1.7 million, which included a FMV benefit of $0.4 million.
“During the quarter, we continued to advance development at our Rochester Hub, which is on track to start commissioning in stages in 2023. We also took deliberate steps to optimize operations at our new Spoke facilities in Arizona and Alabama, which are the first of their kind to process entire EV and stationary energy storage battery packs without the need for dismantling. In order to make these improvements, we temporarily slowed the pace of operations at our Arizona Spoke and we moderately postponed the start-up of operations at our Alabama Spoke. This has pushed out achievement of our FY2022 production target for those operations by one to two quarters and resulted in lower black mass production during the third quarter than originally planned,” said Ajay Kochhar, Li-Cycle President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Since the completion of these optimization projects, the Arizona Spoke is now nearing target throughput and has been demonstrating higher recovery yields in black mass. We are leveraging the process improvements and key lessons learned from the Arizona Spoke, not only for the Alabama Spoke, but also for our future Spoke locations in Norway and Germany."
"We continue to see robust battery supply from our global customers and are making strides in strategically advancing our Spoke & Hub network to align with their growing needs. The recent enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act in the U.S. is yet another meaningful tailwind for our Spoke & Hub business model,” added Kochhar. “Li-Cycle, underpinned by a growing portfolio of commercial partnerships, is competitively positioned to be a leading and preferred recycler and domestic supplier of critical battery materials in North America and Europe."
Third Quarter Financial Results Ended July 31, 2022
Revenues from product sales and recycling services of $5.4 million increased from $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2021. Total revenues of $(2.0) million included an unfavorable non-cash FMV pricing adjustment of $(7.3) million, relating to prior-period sales of black mass. This adjustment was the direct result of declines in nickel and cobalt prices of greater than 30% and 35%, respectively, during the quarter. Total revenues of $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2021 included a FMV benefit of $0.4 million.
Operating expenses were $32.5 million versus $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2021, reflecting the ongoing expansion of operations in North America and the early build out of the Spoke network in Europe. Personnel costs were up related to the addition of operational, corporate, commercial, and engineering personnel to support these growth efforts. The Company also incurred higher professional fees, administrative costs, and non-cash share-based compensation related to its expanding footprint and required services as a public company. In addition, the increase in raw materials and supplies was primarily driven by higher sales volumes from the Spoke operations.
Net loss for the quarter was approximately $27.5 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $6.9 million in the third quarter 2021. This loss for the current quarter included $8.6 million of fair value gains on financial instruments.
Adjusted EBITDA1 loss for the quarter was $31.6 million, compared to $5.3 million in the third quarter 2021. This was largely driven by higher operating expenses described above, which was directly related to the growth and expansion of the Company's Spoke & Hub network. Adjusted EBITDA was also unfavorably impacted by a non-cash FMV pricing adjustment of $(7.3) million, versus an FMV gain of $0.4 million in the third quarter 2021. Additionally, non-cash stock-based compensation increased to $4.0 million, from $0.3 million in the third quarter 2021.
Balance Sheet Position
Li-Cycle ended its third quarter with $649.0 million cash on hand. The Company enhanced its balance sheet during the quarter with $50 million in investment proceeds from LG Chem Ltd. and LG Energy Solution, Ltd. and $200 million in convertible debt from Glencore Ltd., as previously announced. Li-Cycle has sufficient liquidity for its capital and operating needs to fund the current pipeline of projects in development.
During the quarter, the Company invested $82.1 million, with the majority of the capital allocated to securing equipment for the continued development and construction of the Rochester Hub, in addition to the Company’s incremental Spokes in North America and Europe.
In addition, the Company continues to evaluate multiple capital sources, including but not limited to debt-based financing alternatives, such as traditional corporate debt, project financing, government-related funding, and funding from potential strategic partners to further strengthen its balance sheet, optimize its capital structure and provide additional financial flexibility for its next phase of growth.

Li-Cycle reports its financial results in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The Company makes references to certain non-IFRS measures, including Adjusted EBITDA. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing a further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for the analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS. Li-Cycle defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before depreciation and amortization, interest expense (income), income tax expense (recovery), foreign exchange (gain) loss, fair value (gain) loss on financial instruments, and non-recurring expenses such as forfeited SPAC transaction cost, and listing fee related to the business combination that resulted in Li-Cycle becoming a public company.

Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe”, “may”, “will”, “continue”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “expect”, “should”, “would”, “could”, “plan”, “potential”, “future”, “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Forward-looking statements in this press release include but are not limited to statements about: the timing of the start of commissioning in stages of the Rochester Hub; the timing of the start of operations at the Alabama Spoke; the achievement of target throughput levels and recovery yields in black mass; the sufficiency of our current liquidity for capital and operating needs to fund our current pipeline of projects in development; our black mass production target of 3,500 to 3,800 tonnes during fiscal year 2022; and the timing of achievement of target throughput rates for our Arizona and Alabama Spoke operations.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Li-Cycle, and are not guarantees of future performance. Li-Cycle believes that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: Li-Cycle’s inability to economically and efficiently source, recover and recycle lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion battery manufacturing scrap, as well as third party black mass, and to meet the market demand for an environmentally sound, closed-loop solution for manufacturing waste and end-of-life lithium-ion batteries; Li-Cycle’s inability to successfully implement its global growth strategy, on a timely basis or at all; Li-Cycle’s inability to manage future global growth effectively; Li-Cycle’s inability to develop the Rochester Hub, Arizona Spoke, Alabama Spoke and other future projects including its Ohio, Norway and Germany Spoke projects in a timely manner or on budget or that those projects will not meet expectations with respect to their productivity or the specifications of their end products; Li-Cycle’s failure to materially increase recycling capacity and efficiency; Li-Cycle may engage in strategic transactions, including acquisitions, that could disrupt its business, cause dilution to its shareholders, reduce its financial resources, result in incurrence of debt, or prove not to be successful; one or more of Li-Cycle’s current or future facilities becoming inoperative, capacity constrained or if its operations are disrupted; additional funds required to meet Li-Cycle’s capital requirements in the future not being available to Li-Cycle on commercially reasonable terms or at all when it needs them; Li-Cycle expects to incur significant expenses and may not achieve or sustain profitability; problems with the handling of lithium-ion battery cells that result in less usage of lithium-ion batteries or affect Li-Cycle’s operations; Li-Cycle’s inability to maintain and increase feedstock supply commitments as well as securing new customers and off-take agreements; a decline in the adoption rate of EVs, or a decline in the support by governments for “green” energy technologies; decreases in benchmark prices for the metals contained in Li-Cycle’s products; changes in the volume or composition of feedstock materials processed at Li-Cycle’s facilities; the development of an alternative chemical make-up of lithium-ion batteries or battery alternatives; Li-Cycle’s revenues for the Rochester Hub are derived significantly from a single customer; Li-Cycle’s insurance may not cover all liabilities and damages; Li-Cycle’s heavy reliance on the experience and expertise of its management; Li-Cycle’s reliance on third-party consultants for its regulatory compliance; Li-Cycle’s inability to complete its recycling processes as quickly as customers may require; Li-Cycle’s inability to compete successfully; increases in income tax rates, changes in income tax laws or disagreements with tax authorities; significant variance in Li-Cycle’s operating and financial results from period to period due to fluctuations in its operating costs and other factors; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates which could result in declines in reported sales and net earnings; unfavourable economic conditions, such as consequences of the global COVID-19 pandemic; natural disasters, unusually adverse weather, epidemic or pandemic outbreaks, cyber incidents, boycotts and geo-political events; failure to protect or enforce Li-Cycle’s intellectual property; Li-Cycle may be subject to intellectual property rights claims by third parties; Li-Cycle’s failure to effectively remediate the material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting that it has identified or if it fails to develop and maintain a proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. These and other risks and uncertainties related to Li-Cycle’s business are described in greater detail in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and “Key Factors Affecting Li-Cycle’s Performance” in its Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission in Canada on January 31, 2022. Because of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
