TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marking a significant milestone on its path to electrifying fleet vehicles across North America, REE Automotive Ltd. (Nasdaq: REE), an automotive technology company and provider of full by-wire electric trucks and platforms, today announced that it has selected Roush Industries, a leading innovative vehicle contract manufacturer, to assemble REE’s P7 vehicles at Roush’s Detroit-area factory. REE will continue to manufacture its proprietary REEcorner® technology in its UK Coventry Integration Center. With a focus on speed to market and impeccable build quality, Roush’s assembly team unites decades of design, engineering, machining, fabrication, testing, manufacturing, and supply chain expertise to deliver a scalable process for REE. Roush will be supported onsite by a joint REE and Motherson team, who will be responsible for overall quality assurance, logistics, and testing.

Roush, as U.S. contract manufacture for the P7 lineup, will be responsible for the assembly of full vehicles according to REE’s requirements. REE’s software-defined electric trucks will be assembled at Roush’s Detroit based site specifically chosen for REE’s requirements and designed to have a yearly capacity of up to 5,000 trucks. Motherson, a leading global automotive part supplier with whom REE signed a strategic agreement, will manage global supply chain and logistics targeting cost reduction, improved unit economics and higher margines.

REE’s P7 electric commercial trucks line-up is built on top of four REEcorners® featuring REE’s disruptive x-by-wire technology. REEcorners® pack critical vehicle components into the area between the chassis and the wheel, enabling a fully flat electric chassis end-to-end with up to 35% more interior volume for passengers, cargo and batteries. Electric vehicles built on the P7 chassis have the industry’s lowest step-in height, are autonomous ready, and can be powered by either batteries or fuel cells. The P7 is well established with a network of 78 service and sales locations through 24 authorized dealers across North America with potential access to over 200 fleets in the U.S. and Canada.

“We chose to work with Roush because of their proven capabilities and expertise in the commercial EV market, their capacity to scale production, and their understanding of our unique business model, which is to build our vehicles to order, not for inventory,” said Josh Tech, Chief Operating Officer of REE. “We want to get our trucks in the hands of our customers as soon as possible, while not sacrificing on quality, making sure our customers can count on us as they build their electric commercial fleets. By partnering with Roush, we can concentrate on our core technology and production of the REEcorners while optimizing production costs and reducing go to market times benefiting from their nearly 40-year track record of engineering and manufacturing spans from NASCAR, to lunar terrain vehicles, to the most innovative EVs.”

TEL-AVIV, Israel and NOIDA, India, Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — REE Automotive (NASDAQ: REE), an automotive technology company and provider of full by-wire electric trucks and platforms, and Motherson Group (IN: MOTHERSON), an engineering and manufacturing specialist and a major supplier to the automotive industry with long standing relationships with global OEMs such as Mercedes Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Suzuki, BMW, Porsche, GM, Ford, Stellantis, Daimler Trucks, Paccar and John Deere today announced a strategic agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Motherson will manage sourcing and supply chain of all production parts and support the assembly of the REEcorner® and REE P7 electric trucks, the first full by-wire, software-driven certified medium duty electric truck available on the market today. Motherson will also nominate a director to join REE’s board of directors.

In addition, REE has entered into definitive agreements with certain investors, including M&G Investments, Motherson, and Varana Capital, for the purchase and sale of 11,001,941 shares of its Class A ordinary shares (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) at a purchase price of $4.122 per share in a registered direct offering, for gross proceeds of $45.35 million before deducting applicable fees and expenses. REE intends to use the proceeds for general working capital. The offering is expected to close on or by September 19, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

M&G Investments, REE’s long-term supportive shareholder, led the investment with $20 million followed by Motherson participating with a $15 million investment. Following the closing of the offering, M&G will hold approximately 16.00% of REE’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares; Motherson will hold approximately 19% on a non-diluted basis; and, similarly, Varana Capital 8.00%

Benefiting from the new collaboration, the buying power, manufacturing capability, and industry relationships of Motherson, REE aims to expedite production to meet growing demand and anticipated fleet orders from significant multi-national customers. REE offers the only software-driven medium duty electric truck that can meet an expected fleet transition to electric of more than 240,000 medium duty trucks in the U.S. alone and more than double across the rest of the world. By collaborating with Motherson, REE can focus on further growing its customer base, pulling forward orders, increasing gross and cash flow margins, and expanding its patent portfolio.

Laksh Vaaman Sehgal, Vice Chairman, Motherson Group, said, "We are pleased to announce our long-term agreement with REE to accelerate its industrialization within a mutually beneficial commercial framework. We have been truly impressed by REE's remarkable technology, exceptional product offerings, and robust team. We look forward to facilitating REE's growth and technological advancement by expertly managing its supply chain and utilizing our world-class engineering and manufacturing capabilities to drive commercialization and industrialization. We also want to strengthen REE's integration into the automotive ecosystem by delivering unparalleled customer support across the value chain. We believe that this strategic partnership will contribute towards Motherson’s diversification and increasing content per vehicle strategy.”

REE Co-founder and CEO, Daniel Barel, said, “We are very excited to enter into this agreement with Motherson, as I believe this agreement will enable us to leapfrog over many of the challenges others face when ramping up production. Motherson’s global footprint and manufacturing prowess combines perfectly with REE’s technology and innovation mindset. This combination will benefit our customers and investors alike, by pushing forward the transition towards electrification and carbon neutrality. We are proud to join forces with Motherson and looking forward to learning from their incredible story and amazing culture.”

M&G Investments’ Portfolio Manager, Carl Vine, said, “I believe that this is a transformational transaction for REE and we are delighted to be involved. As shareholders in both companies, we are confident that the combination of core competencies from both sides will result in a sigh of relief from global fleet owners, who have been starved of an electrified product line-up that can be produced and serviced at scale. This is a win-win all round.”

  • the processing of mixed rare earth oxide ("MREO") and carbonate ("MREC") feedstocks over thousands of runtime hours to further the Company's two government demonstration projects;

  • to develop and demonstrate an array of ancillary processing systems with the deployment of the RapidSX™ technology platform in a rigorous production environment; and

  • conduct product qualification work to meet prospective Western world partners' commercial interests and associated specifications.

RapidSX™ Operations

The Company schedules its 52-stage RapidSX™ Demonstration Plant ("Demo Plant") to operate 120 hours per week processing tonnes of feedstock in a simulated commercial environment. The completely automated system incorporates approximately 600 feedback sensors, which include monitoring acidity levels (pH), aqueous and organic interface levels, tank levels, and system pressures and flow rates, all of which are controlled by multiple programmable logic controllers ("PLCs") and a single operator at a central control station.

Since the Demo Plant was commissioned in late 2023, through a dedicated program of continuous improvement, the Ucore team has developed significant enhancements to the mechanical and control systems that deliver and remove the organic and aqueous solutions to each RapidSX™ stage. This is an essential component of the final "copy and paste" knowledge transfer process from the CDF to the SMC to ensure a robust and proven technology platform delivering best-in-class competitive processing versus that of the People's Republic of China.

Full Scope Operations

The purpose of the CDF is the demonstration of the entire rare earth refining flowsheet, which extends well beyond the separation of REEs utilizing the RapidSX™ system. The Company has been engaged in the development and demonstration of the associated operations, including:

  • design and testing of an optimized Cerium depletion process;

  • direct leaching of heavy MREO and light MREC, eliminating the pre-leaching calcining step traditionally required in the processing of MRECs;

  • development of a dedicated yttrium removal process;

  • design and installation of a distillation system for the concentration of produced rare earth chlorides and the recovery and recycling of hydrochloric acid;

  • design and installation of a neutralization system to recycle and manage the generated rare earth chloride solutions; and

  • development of a batch-level process for light and heavy rare earth oxide production.

End User Qualifications

Since the commencement of Kingston operations, Ucore has had numerous confidential requests for REO products produced to specifications from Western world end users. The CDF produces heavy and light rare earth chlorides from various feedstocks, including monazite, bastnaesite, ionic clays, and xenotime sources. This has been complemented by the development of a dedicated batch-level process area within the CDF for the production of kilogram quantities of rare earth oxides from the generated rare earth chlorides. This is the final processing step of the planned commercial REO production facility.

"It is an exceptionally exciting time for the Company," stated Mike Schrider, P.E., Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Ucore. "The innovative work being completed at our Commercial Demonstration Facility strongly positions us as a first mover in the Western commercial heavy rare earth processing space as we continue to execute our plan for production in Louisiana.

"The Company is making daily advancements in our integrated knowledge of applying the chemistry of solvent extraction with our computerized column technology platform to the intricate separations involved with heavy rare earth elements. Our flowsheet development and demonstration work in Kingston are essential risk mitigation steps to help us achieve our Louisiana SMC commercial objectives."

The Company has hosted numerous visitors at the CDF over the past several months, including both potential feedstock and offtake partners, as well as supply chain alignment discussions with a variety of industry participants.

(Bloomberg) — German chemicals maker BASF SE has abandoned plans to invest in lithium mining assets in Chile as a slowdown in electric-vehicle adoption worldwide drags down battery metal prices.

Most Read from Bloomberg

BASF withdrew from initial talks with Wealth Minerals Ltd., the Vancouver-based firm that has exploration projects in Chile, the German company said in an email to Bloomberg late Tuesday. Wealth shares slumped as much as 31% on Wednesday, the biggest intraday decline in three years.

A potential arrangement had included possible funding and offtake if Wealth obtained production contracts in Chile. BASF also was exploring the possibility of building a plant in Chile to turn lithium into the cathode that goes into electric-vehicle batteries, part of a push to grow revenue beyond BASF’s broad suite of plastics and chemical products.

“No collaboration between BASF and Wealth Materials materialized in the end,” BASF wrote. The company didn’t give a reason for ending the talks or mention the proposed cathode plant.

BASF shares rose 0.6% in early Frankfurt trading, adding to gains for 7.4% over the past year to value Germany’s biggest chemical maker at €40 billion ($43 billion).

The withdrawal follows BASF’s announcement last week that it scrapped a joint plan with Eramet SA for a $2.6 billion nickel-cobalt refinery in Indonesia. Slowing EV sales growth has pushed down prices of key inputs, with lithium at three-year lows after surging to a record in late 2022. BASF now plans to bolster raw-materials supply for European operations via a new battery recycling plant in Germany, due to start operations later this year.

The bumpy shift to EVs has triggered carmakers to row back on ambitious model rollout plans, prompting battery-cell makers like Northvolt AB to go slow on multi-billion projects. That’s leading to cancellations further up the supply chain from suppliers such as BASF and Umicore SA.

While the German company’s involvement in Chile was at a very early stage, its withdrawal is a blow to European authorities’ push for companies to secure deals with key battery metals suppliers. That effort is becoming harder as Asian suppliers push ahead with cheaper batteries nascent European manufacturers can’t match.

BASF’s decision is also a setback for Wealth as it grapples with a strategy being implemented in Chile to open new areas to lithium extraction. One of the company’s projects is in an area deemed of strategic importance, meaning it would have to take on a state-owned company as a majority partner.

Wealth Chief Executive Officer Henk van Alphen declined to comment on BASF’s exit. He said implementation of the government’s lithium strategy has been slow though progress is being made. Authorities next week are scheduled to announce details of firms interested in new contracts in nonstrategic salt flats.

Operations:

  • REE is progressing with its CapEx light manufacturing strategy to achieve bill of materials break-even in the low hundreds of vehicles. The two-step manufacturing approach involves U.S. assembly of full vehicles and continued production of REEcorners® at the Company’s automated Coventry, UK facility, which has an annual capacity of 10,000 vehicle sets.

  • The tooling investment for the REEcorner® in the UK has been deployed, resulting in a highly efficient, automated production line consisting of 13 robotic stations, run by only seven human operators. REEcorners® are built upon customer order, not inventory, thus optimizing working capital.

  • Financing options are being evaluated to fund scale production of full vehicles by the end of 2024 and subsequent scaling in 2025 and beyond. Once funding is secured, REE plans to ramp up production in the U.S. against its order book, in parallel to the completion of the production tooling program. Once the U.S. production tooling comes online, REE plans to scale production responsibly according to available working capital and demand, with a goal of de-risking execution.

Financials:

  • First quarter GAAP net loss narrowed by 29% QoQ to $25.2 million compared to $35.2 million in Q4 2023 and narrowed by 12% year-over-year (YoY) compared to $28.6 million in Q1 2023. The YoY decrease was mainly driven by operational efficiencies implemented, which reduced payroll and related costs and other operational expenses, as well as lower share-based compensation expenses. These decreases were partially offset by losses from remeasurement of warrants and financial expenses related to convertible notes as well as an increase in income tax expenses. The decrease compared to the previous quarter was mainly attributed to the increased non-recurring engineering development costs in Q4 2023.

  • Non-GAAP net loss in the quarter narrowed by 33% QoQ to $21.7 million compared to $32.2 million in Q4 2023 and narrowed by 10% from $24.0 million in Q1 2023.

  • REE ended Q1 2024 with liquidity of $77.5 million comprised of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, inclusive of a $15 million credit facility.

  • Free cash flow (FCF) burn continued to narrow in Q1 2024, with a 6% reduction from Q4 2023, consistent with the trend in full year 2023 when REE reported a 25% YoY decrease in FCF burn.

  • During the first quarter, the Company raised approximately $15 million (gross) in proceeds through a public offering of ordinary shares priced at $6.50 per share. The equity raise was led by M&G Investment Management Limited, one of Europe’s largest investment firms, a strategic automotive investor, and REE’s largest shareholder. In addition, from January 2024 through May 30, 2024, the Company issued 54,938 Class A Ordinary Shares under the At the Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC for total gross proceeds of approximately $0.3 million.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with peer companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided in the financial statement tables below.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share, reflect additional means of evaluating REE’s ongoing operating results and trends. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

We believe that Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash used in our operational activities and capital expenditures. Free Cash flow burn represents the negative cash outflow used in our activities as explained above.

(Nasdaq: REE) (“REE” or the “Company”), an automotive technology company and provider of full by-wire electric trucks and platforms, today announced that it has begun customer deliveries of its P7-C electric chassis cab following Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification, making it the first to certify a fully x-by-wire vehicle.

    REE is the first to certify a fully steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire and drive-by-wire vehicle. The Powered by REE™ P7-C medium duty electric commercial truck has met the FMVSS requirements and has achieved EPA approval.

    REE has initiated customer deliveries of the first batch of P7-C demonstration trucks for multiple fleets evaluations in North America via its fast-growing Authorized Dealer Network. Pritchard EV, a leading dealer in the U.S., is the first to receive the P7-C demonstration truck for a roadshow with its large fleet customers. Additional REE authorized dealers and leading fleets are expected to receive additional P7-C demonstration units in the coming weeks.

    REE’s P7-C is eligible for the U.S. federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commercial Clean Vehicle Tax Credit (Internal Revenue Code 45W), which allows customers to receive a tax credit of up to $40,000 per vehicle. The Company is also in the process of initiating eligibility for various state incentives, which could bring the total incentive to over $100,000 per vehicle, depending on the customer’s location.

    “I believe our REEcorner is a true gamechanger, allowing us to build electric trucks that fleets will want to buy, and drivers will love to drive as we continue to see a strong demand for our work trucks,” said Daniel Barel, CEO and co-founder of REE Automotive. “I am incredibly proud of the team at REE for completing certification of the automotive industry’s first ever fully x-by-wire vehicle. Our customers have been eagerly waiting for our vehicles to be ready to deliver and now our first demo trucks are on their way to dealerships for customer evaluations.”

    Benefits of REE’s proprietary REEcorner™ and x-by-wire technology can enable:

    • Superior maneuverability and volumetric efficiency

    • Enhanced safety with fail operational design via redundancies in hardware and software

    • Improved ergonomics with low step-in height and driver-centric cabin

    • Improved serviceability

    • More efficient maintenance and lower spare part inventory management

    • Improved residual value

    • Future-proofed, autonomous-ready and OTA upgrade capable

    • Modular design and quick time to market

    • Optimal energy efficiency

    “Achieving this certification milestone is a testament to REE’s dedicated team and our determination to bring this technology to market safely,” said Richard Colley, REE’s VP of Government and Regulatory Affairs. “The federal and state incentives that the P7-C will be eligible for will help accelerate fleet electrification in the US, helping to improve public health and meet ambitious climate goals.”

The initial integration will be for prototype builds for a U.S.-based delivery van program.

    REEcorners™ integrate critical vehicle components (inc. steering, braking, suspension, powertrain & control) into a single compact module positioned between the chassis and the wheel. REE uses true x-by-wire technology to control each of the corners of the vehicles with full drive-by-wire, brake-by-wire and steer-by-wire, expected to deliver vehicle stability, responsiveness and safety with fully independent wheel control. REE’s corner technology enables building modular, fully-flat EV platforms with more room for passengers, cargo and batteries – as much as 35% greater interior space as compared to internal combustion vehicles or conventional EVs. REE’s EV platforms afford complete freedom of design, enabling auto-manufacturers, OEMs, delivery & logistics companies, and new mobility players to design EVs based on their exact specifications while reducing time-to-market, lowering TCO and meeting zero-carbon regulations.

    Mosaic (MOS) closed at $42.17 in the latest trading session, marking a -0.71% move from the prior day. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.3%.

    Prior to today's trading, shares of the fertilizer maker had gained 28% over the past month. This has outpaced the Basic Materials sector's gain of 7.79% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.28% in that time.

    MOS will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be November 1, 2021. The company is expected to report EPS of $1.63, up 608.7% from the prior-year quarter. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $3.83 billion, up 60.82% from the year-ago period.

    For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $5.02 per share and revenue of $12.48 billion, which would represent changes of +490.59% and +43.77%, respectively, from the prior year.

    Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for MOS. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.

    Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.

    Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 3.14% higher within the past month. MOS is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

    In terms of valuation, MOS is currently trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 8.47. This represents a discount compared to its industry's average Forward P/E of 14.81.

    It is also worth noting that MOS currently has a PEG ratio of 1.21. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. Fertilizers stocks are, on average, holding a PEG ratio of 1.53 based on yesterday's closing prices.

    The Fertilizers industry is part of the Basic Materials sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 3, putting it in the top 2% of all 250+ industries.

Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.

    The external fund manager backed by Berkshire Hathaway's Charlie Munger, Li Lu, makes no bones about it when he says 'The biggest investment risk is not the volatility of prices, but whether you will suffer a permanent loss of capital.' It's only natural to consider a company's balance sheet when you examine how risky it is, since debt is often involved when a business collapses. We note that Gem Diamonds Limited (LON:GEMD) does have debt on its balance sheet. But the real question is whether this debt is making the company risky.

    When Is Debt A Problem?

    Debt and other liabilities become risky for a business when it cannot easily fulfill those obligations, either with free cash flow or by raising capital at an attractive price. Part and parcel of capitalism is the process of 'creative destruction' where failed businesses are mercilessly liquidated by their bankers. However, a more frequent (but still costly) occurrence is where a company must issue shares at bargain-basement prices, permanently diluting shareholders, just to shore up its balance sheet. Of course, plenty of companies use debt to fund growth, without any negative consequences. The first step when considering a company's debt levels is to consider its cash and debt together.

    How Much Debt Does Gem Diamonds Carry?

    The image below, which you can click on for greater detail, shows that Gem Diamonds had debt of US$14.7m at the end of June 2021, a reduction from US$23.6m over a year. But it also has US$33.9m in cash to offset that, meaning it has US$19.2m net cash.

    A Look At Gem Diamonds' Liabilities

    We can see from the most recent balance sheet that Gem Diamonds had liabilities of US$43.1m falling due within a year, and liabilities of US$112.0m due beyond that. Offsetting these obligations, it had cash of US$33.9m as well as receivables valued at US$6.55m due within 12 months. So its liabilities total US$114.6m more than the combination of its cash and short-term receivables.

    This is a mountain of leverage relative to its market capitalization of US$116.4m. Should its lenders demand that it shore up the balance sheet, shareholders would likely face severe dilution. Despite its noteworthy liabilities, Gem Diamonds boasts net cash, so it's fair to say it does not have a heavy debt load!

    Even more impressive was the fact that Gem Diamonds grew its EBIT by 406% over twelve months. If maintained that growth will make the debt even more manageable in the years ahead. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. But it is future earnings, more than anything, that will determine Gem Diamonds's ability to maintain a healthy balance sheet going forward. So if you're focused on the future you can check out this free report showing analyst profit forecasts.

    Finally, while the tax-man may adore accounting profits, lenders only accept cold hard cash. Gem Diamonds may have net cash on the balance sheet, but it is still interesting to look at how well the business converts its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) to free cash flow, because that will influence both its need for, and its capacity to manage debt. In the last three years, Gem Diamonds created free cash flow amounting to 4.2% of its EBIT, an uninspiring performance. That limp level of cash conversion undermines its ability to manage and pay down debt.

    Summing up

    Although Gem Diamonds's balance sheet isn't particularly strong, due to the total liabilities, it is clearly positive to see that it has net cash of US$19.2m. And it impressed us with its EBIT growth of 406% over the last year. So we don't have any problem with Gem Diamonds's use of debt. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. However, not all investment risk resides within the balance sheet – far from it. Be aware that Gem Diamonds is showing 2 warning signs in our investment analysis , and 1 of those shouldn't be ignored…

    When all is said and done, sometimes its easier to focus on companies that don't even need debt. Readers can access a list of growth stocks with zero net debt 100% free, right now.
