Adjusted diluted EPS improved compared to last year, supported by EBITDA gains but partially offset by lower interest income and higher depreciation.
Adjusted EBITDA improved year-over-year due to higher sales volumes and lower production costs, including $8.3 million in lower inventory reserves.
Second quarter revenue increased 84% year-over-year, driven by ramp-up in sales of magnet precursor products and record NdPr oxide production at Mountain Pass.
Sequentially, adjusted EBITDA declined due to reduced sales of REO concentrate following strategic decision to stockpile excess production.
