5E Advanced Materials Inc. (FEAM+4.36%) has submitted its 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2024.
The filing includes financial statements for the quarter, showing a net loss of $14,262,000 compared to a net loss of $10,616,000 in the same quarter the previous year. The increase in net loss is attributed to higher operating expenses and interest expenses.
Operating expenses for the quarter were $11,031,000, up from $8,886,000 in the previous year. This increase is primarily due to costs associated with the operation of the Small-Scale Facility and increased project expenses.
Interest expense for the quarter was $2,430,000, compared to $1,739,000 in the previous year. The increase is due to higher interest rates on convertible notes and additional debt issuance.
The company reported cash and cash equivalents of $824,000 as of December 31, 2024, down from $4,896,000 at the end of the previous fiscal year. The decrease is attributed to cash used in operating and investing activities.
5E Advanced Materials entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement on January 14, 2025, aimed at restructuring its capital structure, including the issuance of new convertible notes and potential equity transactions.

If the out-of-court restructuring is not completed, the company plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to restructure its debts.
5E Advanced Materials also announced a reverse stock split, approved by the board, at a ratio of 1-for-23, which will become effective upon filing with the state of Delaware.
