Summary
Lithium Royalty Corp. announced its Q3 2025 results, reporting an 86% year-on-year increase in royalty revenue for the quarter, driven by new projects commencing production. The company received its first royalty payment from the Tres Quebradas project and saw the Horse Creek mine start production. Additionally, the Moblan lithium project reported a 60% increase in contained lithium oxide in the Measured and Indicated categories, and LRC acquired a royalty on the Fox tungsten project.
Reasoning: The company reported strong quarterly royalty revenue growth and several projects commencing production, including first royalty payments from Tres Quebradas. A significant resource expansion at Moblan and a new tungsten royalty acquisition add to the positive outlook. However, the company's net loss and Adjusted EBITDA increased for the six-month period, indicating ongoing financial challenges despite operational progress.
Positive factors
- Royalty revenue increased significantly year-on-year for the quarter.
- Multiple projects commenced production, leading to first royalty payments.
- A substantial increase in contained lithium oxide was reported for the Moblan project's M&I resource.
- Acquisition of a royalty on a high-grade tungsten project diversifies the portfolio.
- Positive outlook on lithium market demand and pricing trends.
Negative factors
- The company reported an increased net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2025.
- Adjusted EBITDA remains negative for both the quarter and the six-month period.
- Lithium prices were down year-on-year for the quarter, despite recent increases.
