Arcadium cuts expenses despite falling profits

Perhaps the monetary result – in terms of profits – so far in the long-suffering lithium sector comes from Arcadium Lithium (ASX:LTM) (the end result of the merger between Livent of the United States and Allkem of Australia and Argentina).

But even that has not prevented the company from assuming a greater share of its plans and costs, slowing down expansion plans like those of large competitors such as Albemarle.

The company on Tuesday announced a slight 5% drop in quarterly profit for the quarter ended in June, due to weak steel prices.

Arcadium reported a second-quarter net revenue source of $85. 7 million, up from $90. 2 million a year ago.

And while CEO Paul Graves called global demand for lithium “strong,” the company announced plans to expand its cost-cutting measures for the year.

The lithium company plans to invest in its Galaxy project in Canada and look for a partner to grow.

Arcadium also revised the schedule for two lithium carbonate projects at the Salar del Hombre Muerto in Argentina. Instead of running simultaneously, projects will now be carried out sequentially.

These measures will increase Arcadium’s capital expenditures by approximately $500 million over the next two years, according to the press release.

The company has indicated that it has no plans to delay the advancement of its Nemaska Lithium allocation in Canada.

Although Arcadium believes long-term steel demand remains intact, CEO Graves said in the statement, “the market is obviously indicating that the industry does not want to increase supply at the same rate as expected. “
