Key Takeaways:
Titan Mining Corporation (NYSE-A: TII, TSX: TI) reported a 22% increase in first-quarter revenue to $19.59 million, as the company began shipping domestically produced natural flake graphite for the first time.
"Titan is executing on a clear strategy, generating cash flow today while building the next generation of U.S. critical minerals supply," Rita Adiani, President and Chief Executive Officer, said. "We are positioning Titan to become a leading domestic supplier of materials essential to defense and industrial supply chains.”
The New York-based producer saw revenue climb from $16.02 million in the same period last year. While the company posted a net loss of $13.34 million, or $0.14 per share, it was almost entirely due to a non-cash fair value adjustment on derivative warrants. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes this item, was $3.88 million, up 45% from Q1 2025. The company did not provide consensus estimate comparisons.
The results highlight Titan's strategic pivot toward critical minerals, with graphite and potential germanium recovery complementing its established zinc operations. The company is now the only end-to-end producer of natural flake graphite in the United States, a material vital for batteries and defense applications.
The significant net loss was attributed to a $13.19 million non-cash, mark-to-market loss on derivative financial instruments, an accounting requirement under IFRS that has no bearing on operational performance. Cash flow from operations before working capital changes was $1.9 million.
Payable zinc production for the quarter was 14.17 million pounds at an All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) of $1.01 per pound. Mining operations were optimized to focus on higher-grade zones to overcome a temporary hoisting disruption in January.
The main focus was the Kilbourne Graphite Project, which delivered its first shipments for customer qualification. A fully funded Feasibility Study for a proposed 40,000 tonne-per-year facility is underway, supported by the EXIM’s Make More in America initiative. Exploration drilling also confirmed graphite mineralization beyond the current conceptual pit, suggesting potential for resource expansion.
The report was released after market hours. The market's reaction will be seen when NYSE and TSX trading begins.
The successful launch of graphite production is a significant step for the U.S. domestic supply chain for critical minerals. Investors will now be watching for progress on the graphite feasibility study and further updates on the potential to recover germanium from existing zinc process streams.
