MP Materials reported a Q2 2024 net loss of $34.1 million as revenue declined 51% YoY to $31.3 million, impacted by lower REO sales volumes and weaker pricing. However, NdPr production more than doubled QoQ to 272 metric tons, with expectations of 50% sequential growth in Q3. The company secured a significant NdPr supply agreement with a global automaker and received a Department of Defense contract.Operations faced challenges including equipment damage that affected production for three weeks. Cost of sales increased due to Stage II production ramp-up costs, including an $11.8 million inventory reserve. The company received an initial $50 million magnetics customer prepayment and expects approximately $190 million in additional prepayments and tax credits by end-2025.The company commissioned its prototype magnet production line in Fort Worth, with commercial metal production on track for 2024. Management expressed cautious optimism about Q3 potentially being one of their best REO production quarters, while the Upstream 60K expansion project continues to advance.
