**Fourth Quarter 2025 Consolidated Review**

To align with the terms of the agreements with the United States Department of War (the "DoW") signed in July 2025, and in further support of our domestic supply chain objectives, we ceased all sales of our products to China, which resulted in no revenue recognized from rare earth concentrate during the quarter, driving the 14% decline in consolidated revenue year-over-year to $52.7 million. The decline in revenue was partially offset by $19.9 million of magnetic precursor products sales with no comparable revenue in the prior year period, coupled with an $8.3 million increase in NdPr oxide and metal sales driven by higher NdPr Production Volume as a result of ramping production of separated products over the last twelve months.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $49.9 million year-over-year to $39.2 million, primarily due to the NdPr price floor protection agreement with the DoW (the "Price Protection Agreement" or "PPA") for our NdPr products, which commenced on October 1, 2025. Given market prices for NdPr products in the fourth quarter, we recognized price protection agreement income ("PPA Income") based on the right to receive cash from the DoW for the difference between $110 per kilogram and the Benchmark Quarterly Average Volume Weighted Price for the NdPr products produced at Mountain Pass that were sold or produced and stockpiled during the fourth quarter of 2025. Also contributing to the improvement was an $11.4 million increase in the Magnetics Segment Adjusted EBITDA, due to the recognition of magnetic precursor product sales, with no comparable revenue in the prior year period.

Adjusted Net Income was $18.3 million for the quarter, representing a $37.2 million year-over-year improvement from the prior year Adjusted Net Loss of $(18.9) million, driven primarily by the higher Adjusted EBITDA as discussed above, along with higher interest income due to increased cash and short-term investment balances. The improvement in Adjusted Net Income was partially offset by $11.4 million of amortization related to the price protection agreement upfront asset, with no comparable cost in the prior year period, along with income tax expense in the current period compared to an income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net income was $9.4 million for the quarter, representing a $31.8 million year-over-year improvement from the prior year Net loss of $(22.3) million, primarily due to the factors driving the improvement in Adjusted Net Income discussed above.

Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") and Adjusted Diluted EPS increased by $0.19 and $0.21 year-over-year, respectively, to $0.05 and $0.09, respectively, in line with the change in Net income and Adjusted Net Income discussed above. Additionally, the current period Diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS were impacted by a higher average share count, primarily driven by the dilutive effect of the preferred shares and warrant issued to the DoW as part of the July agreement.

**Full Year 2025 Consolidated Review**

Revenue increased 10% to $224.4 million compared to 2024 primarily as a result of the ramp-up in production of separated products throughout 2025, resulting in higher NdPr oxide and metal revenue in the current year. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we began recognizing revenue from the sales of

------

magnetic precursor products, with no comparable revenue in the prior year. The increase was partially offset by lower rare earth concentrate revenues, driven by the cessation of all sales to China starting in July 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $61.6 million year-over-year to $11.4 million, driven primarily by the PPA Income as well as the commencement of magnetic precursor product sales, both as discussed above.

Adjusted Net Loss improved by $33.3 million year-over-year to $(40.8) million, driven mainly by the changes in Adjusted EBITDA. The improvement was partially offset by $11.4 million of amortization related to the price protection agreement upfront asset, with no comparable cost in the prior year, as well as the unfavorable impact of tax adjustments when compared to the prior year.

Net loss increased by $20.5 million year-over-year to $(85.9) million, as the improved Adjusted Net Loss was offset in the current year by higher legal costs, as well as higher Advanced projects and development expenses, which included transaction costs associated with the DoW agreements and to secure financing. Also impacting the comparison was a $52.9 million gain on the early extinguishment of debt in 2024.

Adjusted Diluted EPS improved by $0.20 to $(0.24) in line with the change in Adjusted Net Loss discussed above. Diluted EPS improved by $0.07 to $(0.50) as the larger net loss in the current year was offset by the dilutive impact of the 2026 Notes repurchased in March 2024 on the prior year's Diluted EPS calculation.

**Fourth Quarter 2025 Materials Segment Review**

Materials Segment revenue decreased 42% to $35.6 million year-over-year, primarily driven by the cessation of all REO sales to China in July 2025, which resulted in no revenue recognized from rare earth concentrate during the current quarter. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by an $11.1 million increase in NdPr oxide and metal sales due to a 20% increase in NdPr Sales Volume and higher market prices compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. When considering the impact of PPA income, total realized proceeds for the segment were $86.6 million in the quarter compared with $61.0 million in the prior year period. The increase in NdPr Sales Volume was driven by the continued ramp-up in the production of separated products.

Materials Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by $41.6 million to $40.3 million year-over-year, driven mainly by the PPA Income for our NdPr products, which commenced on October 1, 2025.

**Full Year 2025 Materials Segment Review**

Materials Segment revenue decreased 21% to $160.4 million year-over-year, primarily driven by the decrease in rare earth concentrate revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025. This decline was partially offset by a $57.4 million increase in NdPr oxide and metal sales in 2025. The increase in NdPr oxide and metal sales was primarily due to the ramp-up in midstream operations, where a significantly higher portion of REO produced was refined and sold as NdPr oxide and metal during the current year.

Materials Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by $31.0 million to $16.8 million year-over-year, driven mainly by the impact of the PPA Income, partially offset by the decrease in concentrate revenue discussed above, which was tempered by the corresponding decrease in cost of sales (excluding depreciation, depletion and amortization and stock-based compensation expense) ("Segment COS"). In addition, segment COS were impacted by the significantly higher sales volumes of NdPr oxide in the current year, which was mostly offset by a reduction in related per-unit production costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Principally included in "Selling, general and administrative" within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Included in "Start-up costs" within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and excludes any applicable stock-based compensation, which is included in the "Stock-based compensation expense" line above. Amounts relate to certain costs incurred in connection with our initial magnet-making capabilities at the Independence Facility prior to the achievement of commercial production. These costs include labor of incremental employees hired in advance to work directly on such commissioning activities, training costs, costs of testing and commissioning new circuits and processes, and other related costs. Given the nature and scale of the related costs and activities, management does not view these as normal, recurring operating expenses, but rather as non-recurring investments to initially develop our magnet-making capabilities. Therefore, we believe it is useful and necessary for investors to understand our core operating performance in current and future periods by excluding the impact of these start-up costs. To the extent additional start-up costs are incurred in the future to expand our separations or magnet-making capabilities after initial achievement of commercial production (e.g., significantly expanding production capacity at an existing facility or building a new separations or magnet manufacturing facility), such costs would not be considered an adjustment for this non-GAAP financial measure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Pertains to legal, consulting, and advisory services, and other costs associated with specific matters or transactions. The year ended December 31, 2025, included $12.7 million of costs incurred in association with the DoW transactions, $11.9 million of costs associated with a construction-related litigation matter and $7.4 million of costs incurred to secure financing. For the year ended December 31, 2025, amount is principally included in "Advanced projects and development" within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, amounts are principally included in "Selling, general and administrative" within our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)Amount for the three months ended December 31, 2024, pertains to a gain recognized on the debt exchange in December 2024 whereby the Company exchanged a portion of its 2026 Notes for new 2030 Notes. The year ended December 31, 2024, amount also includes a gain recognized on the retirement of 2026 Notes in March 2024 in connection with the issuance of 2030 Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)Principally comprised of interest and investment income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Tax impact of adjustments is calculated using an adjusted effective tax rate, which excludes the impact of discrete tax costs and benefits, to each adjustment. The adjusted effective tax rates were 29.9%, 26.5%, 20.1% and 31.3%, for the three months and years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)For the year ended December 31, 2024, since the 2026 Notes were dilutive for purposes of computing GAAP diluted loss per common share but antidilutive for purposes of computing Adjusted Diluted EPS, within this reconciliation, we have included this adjustment to reverse the impact of applying the if-converted method to the 2026 Notes in the computation of GAAP diluted loss per common share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)For the year ended December 31, 2024, since the 2026 Notes were dilutive for purposes of computing GAAP diluted loss per common share but antidilutive for purposes of computing Adjusted Diluted EPS, the adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding exclude the potentially dilutive securities associated with the 2026 Notes.

**Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

This press release references certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted EPS, which have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). MP Materials defines Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income or loss before interest expense, net; income tax expense or benefit; and depreciation, depletion and amortization; further adjusted to eliminate the impact of stock-based compensation expense; initial start-up costs; transaction-related and other costs; accretion of asset retirement and environmental obligations; loss on environmental obligations; gain or loss on disposals of long-lived assets; gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt; other income or loss; and other items that management does not consider representative of our underlying operations. MP Materials defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as GAAP net income or loss excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense; initial start-up costs; transaction-related and other costs; loss on environmental obligations; gain or loss on disposals of long-lived assets; gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt; and other items that management does not consider representative of our underlying operations; adjusted to give effect to the income tax impact of such adjustments. MP Materials defines Adjusted Diluted EPS as GAAP diluted earnings or loss per common share, excluding the per-share impact of each adjusting item described in the previous sentence (the numerator) divided by the adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding (the denominator). In addition, when appropriate, we include an adjustment to reverse the impact of applying the if-converted method to our 2026 Notes if necessary to reconcile between GAAP diluted earnings or loss per common share and Adjusted Diluted EPS.

MP Materials' management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted EPS to compare MP Materials' performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. MP Materials believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted EPS provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to MP Materials' financial condition and results of operations. MP Materials'

------

management believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted EPS provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends. MP Materials' method of determining these non-GAAP measures may be different from other companies' methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and MP Materials does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measures to assess its financial performance. Management does not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative or to be superior to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in MP Materials' financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

**Segment Information**

The Company's reportable segments, which are primarily based on the Company's internal organizational structure and types of products, are its two operating segments—Materials and Magnetics.

The Materials segment operates the Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine and Processing Facility located near Mountain Pass, San Bernardino County, California, which produces refined rare earth products as well as rare earth concentrate and related products. The Magnetics segment operates a rare earth metal, alloy and magnet manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas ("Independence"), where the Company produces and sells magnetic precursor products and commenced the manufacturing of neodymium-iron-boron ("NdFeB") permanent magnets in December 2025.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is management's primary segment measure of profit or loss required by GAAP in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate the Company's resources. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as segment revenues and price protection agreement income less significant segment expenses, specifically, cost of sales (excluding depreciation, depletion and amortization and stock-based compensation expense) and selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation expense), as well as certain other operating expenses (referred to as "other segment items"). Significant segment expenses and other segment items also exclude certain costs that are non-recurring, non-cash or are not related to the segments' underlying business performance.

**Key Performance Indicators**

REO Production Volume for a given period is measured in MTs, the Company's principal unit of sale for its concentrate product. This measure refers to the REO content contained in the rare earth concentrate we produce and includes volumes fed into downstream circuits for commissioning and starting up our separations facilities and for producing separated rare earth products, a portion of which is also included in our KPI, NdPr Production Volume. REO Production Volume is a key indicator of the mining and processing capacity and efficiency of the Company's upstream operations.

NdPr Production Volume for a given period is measured in MTs, the Company's principal unit of sale for its NdPr separated products. This measure refers to the volume of finished and packaged NdPr oxide produced at Mountain Pass for a given period. NdPr Production Volume is a key indicator of the separating and finishing capacity and efficiency of the Company's midstream operations.

NdPr Sales Volume for a given period is calculated in MTs and on an NdPr oxide-equivalent basis (as further discussed below). A unit, or MT, is considered sold once the Materials Segment recognizes revenue on its sale, whether sold as NdPr oxide or NdPr metal, as determined in accordance with GAAP. For these NdPr metal sales, the MTs sold and included in NdPr Sales Volume are calculated based on the volume of NdPr oxide used to produce such NdPr metal. We utilize an assumed material conversion ratio of 1.20, such that a sale of 100 MTs of NdPr metal would be included in this KPI as 120 MTs of NdPr oxide-equivalent. NdPr Sales Volume is a key measure of our ability to convert our production of separated NdPr products into revenue. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2025, NdPr Sales Volume for the Materials Segment includes intercompany sales made to the Magnetics Segment.
