James Henry Litinsky, CEO of MP Materials, emphasized the company’s position at the center of a rare earth supply chain transformation, supported by key partnerships with the U.S. Department of Defense and Apple. He noted that non-market externalities are largely addressed, allowing the company to focus on execution. Litinsky highlighted Apple’s long-term contract, which includes $500 million in magnet purchases and $200 million in milestone-based prepayments, as a catalyst for growth. He also praised strong results from the Materials and Magnetic segments, including record recoveries and progress in magnet production.

MP Materials expects a 10% to 20% sequential increase in NdPr oxide production in Q3, driven by stronger product sell-through. The company anticipates approximately $2 billion in cash on its balance sheet to fund growth, with capital expenditures expected to remain within $150–$175 million for 2025. A planned trial of a pre-flotation process may modestly impact recovery but is expected to yield longer-term benefits. The DoD agreement guarantees a $140 million minimum EBITDA for the 10X Facility, with potential upside as commercial production scales. The company plans to syndicate a large portion of the 10X output to commercial customers at improved economics, further strengthening its financial outlook.
