SIGMA LITHIUM ANNOUNCES 1Q25 PREVIEW: OUTPERFORMS TARGETS, OPERATIONAL PROFITABILITY, 24% EBITDA MARGIN

Sigma Lithium Corporation delivered robust first quarter 2025 results that exceeded operational and financial targets, demonstrating the company's operational resilience in a challenging lithium market environment. The company produced 68,308 tonnes of lithium oxide during the quarter, surpassing internal targets and representing a significant 26% increase compared to the same period in 2024.

The financial performance metrics underscore the company's cost discipline and operational efficiency. Cash costs on a CIF China basis came in at US$458 per tonne, while All-In Sustaining Costs reached US$622 per tonne, both performing 8% and 6% better than the company's full-year 2025 targets respectively. This cost performance is particularly noteworthy given the current lithium price environment and supply chain pressures affecting the broader industry.

Sigma Lithium achieved operational profitability during the quarter with an EBITDA of US$10 million and adjusted EBITDA of US$11.4 million when accounting for non-cash expenses. The company reported a healthy 24% EBITDA margin, indicating strong operational leverage and effective cost management across its production operations.

These results position Sigma Lithium favorably within the lithium sector, particularly as the industry navigates through a period of price volatility and supply-demand rebalancing. The company's ability to exceed production targets while maintaining cost discipline suggests operational maturity and positions it well for sustained profitability as lithium markets stabilize.
