V.IFOS

HOUSTON, May 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Itafos Inc. (TSX-V: IFOS) (the “Company”) reported today its Q1 2024 financial and operational highlights. The Company’s financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 are available under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.itafos.com. All figures are in thousands of US Dollars except as otherwise noted.

CEO Commentary

“We are pleased to report another quarter of strong operational and financial performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we reported revenues of $128.0 million, 7% higher than Q1 2023 driven by increased sales volumes, and adjusted EBITDA of $43.2 million.

During Q1 2024, we have continued to make progress on a number of key initiatives related to the company’s asset portfolio. On April 29, 2024 we released our updated NI 43-101 Technical Report for Conda, confirming our 2037 mine life for the Husky 1 / North Dry Ridge (“H1/NDR) mine. We also acquired the Dry Ridge lease that is adjacent to Husky 1 and continued work on the build-out of infrastructure associated with the H1/NDR project which remains on schedule and on budget.

In Brazil, we continue to make progress on our Fertilizer Restart Program and commissioning has commenced associated with our Partially Acidulated Phosphate Rock (“PAPR”) product. Additionally, we successfully negotiated a 25-year extension to the mining contract and mining lease associated with the Farim asset, which is now valid until 2048.

Finally, the process to explore and evaluate various strategic alternatives to enhance value for all Itafos shareholders has concluded without an announced transaction. The Board of Directors and the management team have and will continue to operate the business with the objective of creating shareholder value and will review strategic opportunities as they arise.” said G. David Delaney, CEO of Itafos.

  • minor increase in on farm MAP application in the spring of 2024.

Q1 2024 Financial Highlights

For Q1 2024, the Company’s financial highlights were as follows:

  • revenues of $128.0 million in Q1 2024 compared to $119.6 million in Q1 2023;

The company’s Adjusted EBITDA performance was flat compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

The Company’s total capex3 spend in Q1 2024 was $6.4 million compared to $2.8 million in Q1 2023 with the increase primarily due to development activities at H1/NDR at Conda and activities related to the Fertilizer Restart Program at Arraias.

As at March 31, 2024, the Company had net debt of $47.1 million compared to $61.3 million at the end of 2023, with the reduction due to the repayment of principal debt outstanding from free cash flows generated and higher cash and cash equivalents.

§ Sustained EHS performance, including no reportable environmental releases and three recordable incidents, which resulted in a consolidated TRIFR of 0.88.

Conda

  • Produced 90,246 tonnes P2O5 at Conda in Q1 2024 compared to 82,145 tonnes P2O5 in Q1 2023 with the increase primarily due to higher throughput in 2024;
  • Generated revenues of $122.8 million at Conda in Q1 2024 compared to $116.0 million in Q1 2023 with the increase primarily due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower realized prices; and
  • Generated Adjusted EBITDA at Conda of $46.6 million in Q1 2024 compared to $47.5 million in Q1 2023 with the decrease primarily due to lower realized prices, which were partially offset by higher sales volumes.

Q1 2024 Other Highlights

  • Produced 33,216 tonnes of sulfuric acid at Arraias in Q1 2024 compared to 20,614 tonnes in Q1 2023 with the increase due to higher customer demand; and
  • Generated Adjusted EBITDA at Arraias of $0.4 million in Q1 2024 compared to $0.2 million in Q1 2023 with the increase due to higher sulfuric acid and DAPR sales volumes.

Market Outlook

Prices in Q1 2024 were comparable to prices in 2023. Phosphate application through the fall of 2023 and now into the spring of 2024 has remained strong, supporting higher prices despite softer crop prices. Moving forward, the Company expects a softening in Q2 in pricing due to seasonal factors including a summer reset and lower crop prices. Expectations of supply adjustments in the overall phosphate import market into North America continue to create some uncertainty in the market going forward.

Specific factors the Company expects to support pricing in the global phosphate fertilizer markets through the end of 2024 are as follows:

  • low inventory levels in the North American market and continued strength in global demand;
  • ongoing export restrictions from China; partially offset by
  • constructive crop prices that have softened from historical highs.

Financial Outlook

The Company maintained its guidance for 2024 as follows:

(in millions of US Dollars Projected
except as otherwise noted) FY 2024
Sales Volumes (thousands of tonnes P2O5) 320-340
Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses $17-20
Maintenance capex $25-35
Growth capex $35-46


Business Outlook

The Company continues to focus on the following key objectives to drive long-term value and shareholder returns:

  • improving financial and operational performance; and
  • executing on the infrastructure and civil works required for the mine development for H1/NDR.
