NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Nature of Operations

Electra Battery Materials Corporation (the "Company", "Electra") was incorporated on July 13, 2011 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia (the "Act"). On September 4, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Continuance into Canada and adopted Articles of Continuance as a Federal Company under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA"). On December 6, 2021, the Company changed its corporate name from First Cobalt Corp. to Electra Battery Materials Corporation. The Company is in the business of producing battery materials for the electric vehicle supply chain. The Company is currently in the process of building a refinery focused on the supply of cobalt, nickel and recycled battery materials.

Electra is a public company which is listed on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange ("TSXV") (under the symbol ELBM) and on the NASDAQ (under the symbol ELBM). The Company's registered office is 40 Temperance Street, Suite 3200, Bay Adelaide Centre – North Tower, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 0B4 and the corporate head office is located at 133 Richmond Street W, Suite 602, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2L3.

The Company is focused on building a North American integrated battery materials facility for the electric vehicle supply chain. The Company is in the process of constructing its expanded hydrometallurgical cobalt refinery (the "Refinery") in Ontario, Canada, assessing the various optimizations and modular growth scenarios for a recycled battery material (known as black mass) program, and exploring and developing its mineral properties.

#### Going Concern Basis of Accounting
The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, and, as such, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

The Company has recurring net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $380,215 and $408,357, respectively. The Company's recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The global economy, including the financial and credit markets, have experienced volatility and disruptions, including fluctuating inflation rates and interest rates, foreign currency impacts, declines in consumer confidence, and declines in economic growth. These factors point to uncertainty about economic stability, and the severity and duration of these conditions on our business cannot be accurately predicted, and the Company cannot assure that it will remain in compliance with the financial covenants contained within its credit facilities.

Management monitors recent developments in relation to global tariffs and does not anticipate material impacts on the financial position of the Company.

In order to continue its operations, the Company must achieve profitable operations and/or obtain additional equity or debt financing. Until the Company achieves profitability, management plans to fund its operations and capital expenditures with cash on hand, borrowings, and issuance of capital stock. Until the Company generates revenue at a level to support its cost structure, the Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and net cash outflows from operating activities.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed private placements and raised US$38,000 in gross proceeds from issuance of common shares and warrants, as detailed in Note 12 and completed restructuring transaction with its 2028 and 2027 noteholders. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company raised proceeds of approximately $6,268, net of transactions costs under its At The Market Offering Agreement ("ATM").

Although the Company has historically been successful in obtaining financing in the past, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include the adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments may be material.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Material Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation

#### Basis of Preparation and Statement of Compliance
The Company prepares its condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent annual financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies, estimates, and methods of application as our most recent annual financial statements.

All amounts other than share and per share information on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 13, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. New Accounting Standards Issued

A number of new standards, and amendments to standard and interpretations, are not yet effective for the current period, and have not been early adopted in preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. These amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance targets); and update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. These amendments apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company adopted these amendments on January 1, 2026 and they did not have material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to improve reporting of financial performance. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. It carries forward many requirements from IAS 1. IFRS 18 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted. The standard must be applied retrospectively with restatement of comparative information. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to: the structure of the statement of profit or loss; required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements; and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes. The Company is currently assessing the impact and efforts related to adopting IFRS 18. The Company expects the standard will primarily affect the presentation and disclosure of information within these consolidated financial.

Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

All of the Iron Creek mineral properties are pledged as security for the term loan. Upon successful commissioning of the Refinery, the Iron Creek mineral properties will be released from the term loan security package.

Certain claims relating to the Iron Creek properties were acquired by the Company against earn-in and option agreements entered with the original owners of such claims. These agreements provide a working interest in the property to the Company, upon making certain milestone payments and/or incurring certain expenditures on the property. The claims are also subject to future net smelter royalty ("NSR") payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. Asset Retirement Obligation

As at March 31, 2026, the estimated cost of closure is $3,414. The Company maintains a surety bond for $3,450 as financial assurance based on the October 2021 closure plan.

The full estimated closure cost in the latest closure plan incorporated a number of new disturbances that have yet to take place, such as new roadways, new chemicals on site, and a new tailings area.

The latest closure plan also included cost updates relating to remediating disturbances that existed at March 31, 2026. The following assumptions were used to calculate the asset retirement obligation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Discounted cash flows of $2,268 (December 31, 2025 - $2,289);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Closure activities date in year 2073 (December 31, 2025 – 2073);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Risk-free discount rate of 3.90% (December 31, 2025 – 3.84%); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Long-term inflation rate of 3.0% ((December 31, 2025 – 3.0%).

The continuity of the asset retirement obligation at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. Long-Term Government Loan Payable, Grants and Awards

On November 24, 2020, the Company entered into a contribution agreement with the Ministry of Economic Development and Official Languages as represented by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario ("FedNor") for up to $5,000 financing related to the recommissioning and expansion of the Refinery in Ontario. The contribution was in the form of debt bearing a 0% interest rate and funded in proportion to certain Refinery construction activities. The Company received approval for an additional $5,000 funding under the agreement on December 27, 2023, which was fully received during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Once construction is completed, the cumulative balance borrowed will be repaid in 19 equal quarterly instalments. The loan was discounted using a market rate between 7.0% and 17.1% with the resulting difference between the amortized cost and cash proceeds recognized as Government Grant. The FedNor loan required completion of the construction on or before June 30, 2025. On July 14, 2025, the completion of construction required by FedNor was extended to June 30, 2027 and governmental loans repayment commencement date was changed from June 2026 to June 2028.

The Company accounted for the extension of the repayment commencement date as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and recognized a new financial liability for the new extended loans. The extinguishment of original loans and recognition of amended loans resulted in a gain on extinguishment of $3,311, which has been recognized in Other non-operating loss in the statement of loss and other comprehensive loss. The fair value of the amended loan was estimated using fair market interest rate of 16%.

On June 10, 2024, the Company received $5,000 in contribution funding from Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan") to support the development of its proprietary battery materials recycling technology.

On August 19, 2024, the Company was awarded US$20,000 by the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD"). The award was made pursuant to Title III of the Defense Production Act ("DPA") to expand domestic production capability.

Reimbursement received from DoD as at March 31, 2026 totals $3,124 (December 31, 2025 - $642). Once the conditions of the agreement are met the deferred government grant will be derecognized against the corresponding assets.

On March 31, 2026, the Company signed a binding investment agreement (the "Investment") with the Government of Canada under the Strategic Resource Fund ("SRF"). The Investment provides for total federal funding of up to $20,000 toward eligible project costs, consisting of a non-repayable contribution of 25% of the total funding and a repayable contribution of up to 75%. The repayable portion is subject to a 15-year repayment term commencing in 2030 and bears interest based on a formula tied to the Company's financial performance and other factors.

Conversion option, share purchase warrants (other than prefunded warrants), certain stock options, RSUs and certain DSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as they were anti-dilutive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. Management of Capital

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to ensure it has sufficient cash available to support its future Refinery expansion and exploration activities; and ensure compliance with debt covenants under the convertible notes arrangement.

The Company manages its capital structure, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, share capital and debt (convertible notes and loans), and will make adjustments depending on the funds available to the Company for its future Refinery expansion and exploration activities. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the size of the Company, is reasonable. Other than the minimum liquidity balance covenant under the term loan arrangement, the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The term loan arrangement does not impose any quantitative ratio covenants on the Company in the course of the normal construction and operation of its current assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described, as follows, based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

**ELECTRA BATTERY MATERIALS CORPORATION**

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

<u>Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value</u>

The Company's fair values of financial assets and liabilities were as follows:

<u>Valuation techniques</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*A)* *Royalty* 

 

The fair value of the Royalty has been estimated at inception using a discounted cash flow model. The key inputs in the valuation include the effective interest rate of 11.125% and cash flows estimates of future operating and gross revenues. As there are significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation, the Royalty is included in Level 3. A 3% increase or decrease in the effective interest rate would be a decrease of $338 (December 31, 2025 - $1,862) or an increase of $412 (December 31, 2025 - $928) to the fair value of the royalty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*B)* *Other Financial Derivative Liability (2026, Warrants, 2028 Warrants and New Offering Warrants)* 

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The key inputs in the valuation include risk-free rates and equity volatility. As there are significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation, the financial derivative liability is included in Level 3.

The Company used an equity volatility of 51% for the 2026 Warrants. If the Company used an equity volatility that was higher or lower by 10%, the potential effect would be an increase of $2 (December 31, 2025 - $25) or a decrease of $1 (December 31, 2025 - $25) to the fair value of the embedded derivative.

The Company used an equity volatility of 84% for the 2028 Warrants (New Equity Offering Warrants). If the Company used an equity volatility that was higher or lower by 10%, the potential effect would be an increase of $2,317 (December 31, 2025 - $2,910) or a decrease of $2,369 (December 31, 2025 - $3,079) to the fair value of the embedded derivative.

The Company used an equity volatility of 84% for the Restructuring Warrants. If the Company used an equity volatility that was higher or lower by 10%, the potential effect would be an increase of $2,772 (December 31, 2025 - $3,481) or a decrease of $2,835 (December 31, 2025 - $3,584) to the fair value of the embedded derivative.

<sup>1</sup> Royalty payments are estimated amounts associated with the royalty agreements entered with the debt holders as part of the term loan. The estimated amounts and timing are subject to changes in cobalt sulfate prices, timing of completion of the refinery, reaching commercial operations and timing and amounts of sales.

On March 19, 2026, the Company announced that it received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC stating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of US$1.00 per share based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common shares for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notice.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

*Construction and Development of the Cobalt Sulfate Refinery*

On January 8, 2026, the Company provided a Refinery construction update indicating that exterior pipe racks connecting key process buildings had been completed, with civil, structural, concrete and tank installation work underway. Site preparation, parking, power services and support areas were reported as largely complete.

On February 3, 2026, the Company announced it had awarded a contract valued at approximately US$6,100 ($8,300) to EXP Services Inc. to provide engineering, project management and construction management support during the construction phase of the Refinery.

On February 23, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board" or the "Board of Directors") approved a US$73,000 construction budget and execution schedule to complete the Refinery. Under the approved schedule, early commissioning of select utilities and circuits is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, with mechanical completion targeted for the second quarter of 2027 and commercial production anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2027.

On March 10, 2026, the Company announced a strategic supply agreement with LG Energy Solution ("LGES") to supply battery-grade cobalt sulfate from Electra's Refinery. The agreement represents an important step in establishing long-term commercial relationships with global battery manufacturers and supports the development of a secure North American battery materials supply chain. The supply agreement is expected to support LGES's North American battery manufacturing operations once Electra's Refinery reaches commercial production.

On March 19, 2026, the Company confirmed the completion of its early works at the Refinery and the transition toward full-scale construction. The update noted that key infrastructure is in place, major equipment has been procured, and construction sequencing has been defined, positioning the project to advance toward mechanical completion and commissioning.

April 9, 2026, the Company awarded approximately $7,800 in construction contracts related to key infrastructure with defined construction scopes across key process areas, bringing additional portions of the refinery into active execution at the Refinery. The awards included contracts of approximately $6,800 for structural, mechanical and piping work associated with the Refinery's crystallizer circuit and $1,000 for construction of the Refinery's silo building, including structural and civil works associated with dry product storage, handling, and final packaging infrastructure.

On May 13, 2026, the Company announced the award of a further $24,900 in construction contracts to WB Melback Corporation. The contract covers the solvent extraction (SX) building scope including concrete and civil works, structural steel erection, piping installation, and electrical and instrumentation. Electra has issued an LNTP to initiate early execution activities while the parties finalize a definitive construction agreement.

*Financing, Balance Sheet Restructuring and Capital Markets Activity*

 

Subsequent to the quarter end, on May 4, 2026, the Company announced a definitive investment agreement with the Government of Canada under the Strategic Response Fund, securing $20,000 in funding to support completion and commissioning of its refinery. This agreement converts the previously announced non-binding Letter of Intent into a firm commitment.

On December 22, 2025, the Company established an at-the-market ("ATM") equity program with H.C. Wainwright & Co. to sell up to US$5,500 of common shares at prevailing market prices, providing a flexible capital-raising tool. On February 20, 2026, the Company increased the size of the ATM program to US$25,000. During the three months ending March 31, 2026, the Company issued 4,734,605 common shares under the ATM at a weighted average price of $1.38 per share, generating proceeds of approximately $6,268 net of transaction costs.

On February 28, 2026, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Marty Rendall departed to pursue another executive opportunity. David Allen, who previously served as Electra's Chief Financial Officer for 2024, has returned as Interim CFO effective February 28, 2026, while the Company conducts a search for a permanent successor.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

On March 19, 2026, the Company announced that it received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC stating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of US$1.00 per share based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common shares for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notice. The Corporation has 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until September 14, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement, during which time the Company's common shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq.

#### Projects & Outlook
The Company's vision is to build a North American supply of battery materials with a focus on refining material from mining operations and from the recycling of battery scrap and end of life batteries. The Company's primary asset is the wholly owned Refinery located in Ontario, Canada. The Company also owns the Idaho Properties within the Idaho Cobalt Belt in the United States. The Idaho Properties include the Iron Creek Project and other minerals projects. The Company also holds royalty interests over several silver and cobalt properties in Ontario known as the Cobalt Camp.

*The Refinery*

The Company is advancing the expansion and recommissioning of its Refinery, positioning it to become the first refiner of battery-grade cobalt sulfate in North America. Electra's primary focus is on executing construction and progressing the Refinery toward production.

The permitted Refinery is designed to produce an initial 5,120 tonnes per annum (tpa) of battery-grade cobalt sulfate, with feedstock sourced from responsibly managed mining operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Company, following initial commissioning at 5,120 tpa, plans to increase production capacity to approximately 6,500 tpa through targeted expansion of key refinery circuits, aligning with the crystallization circuit's full capacity. Equipment has been sized and installed to support this planned expansion.

Future growth initiatives may include recycling black mass from spent or off-spec lithium-ion batteries sourced from various battery shredders in the United States and other regions; constructing a nickel sulfate plant, potentially providing essential components (excluding manganese) to attract a precursor manufacturer to integrate with the Company's refining operations; and adjusting the Refinery's specifications and leaching process to accept North American–mined cobalt.

In 2020, the Company announced the results of an engineering study on the expansion of the Refinery that demonstrated that the facility could become a significant, globally competitive producer of cobalt sulfate for the electric vehicle market. The engineering study determined the Refinery could produce 25,000 tonnes of battery-grade cobalt sulfate annually (equating to approximately 5,000 tonnes of cobalt contained in sulfate), which would represent approximately 5% of the total refined global cobalt market and 100% of the North American cobalt sulfate supply. The study indicated strong operating margins at the asset level.

In 2025, the Company advanced a staged restart of construction activities. An early works program launched in June 2025 was completed in September 2025, reducing remobilization timelines and positioning the project for an efficient restart. Following completion of financing and restructuring initiatives, full construction activities were reactivated in November 2025, marking the transition to full project mobilization.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company made significant progress advancing construction and execution readiness. Key infrastructure, including exterior pipe racks, was completed, with civil, structural, and tank installation work progressing. The Company awarded a US$6,100 contract for engineering, project management and construction management support, and approved a US$73,000 construction budget and execution schedule.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

Commissioning is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, with mechanical completion targeted for the second quarter of 2027 and commercial production anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2027.

The Company also strengthened its commercial position, entering into a strategic supply agreement with LG Energy Solution for battery-grade cobalt sulfate, supporting future sales into the North American battery market.

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company continued to advance construction through the award of additional contracts across key process areas, including structural, mechanical and piping work, as well as dry product handling and packaging infrastructure. In addition, the Company executed a definitive $20,000 investment agreement with the Government of Canada under the Strategic Response Fund, converting prior non-binding support into a firm funding commitment.

*Refining & Recycling of Black Mass*

Black mass is the material left after expired lithium-ion batteries are shredded and their casings removed. It contains high-value elements including nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, lithium, and graphite, which can be recycled to make new batteries. With increasing demand for these metals and a projected supply shortage of sustainable critical minerals such as nickel and cobalt, black mass recycling is increasingly important to the EV battery supply chain. McKinsey & Company predicts that available battery materials for recycling will grow by 20% per year through 2040.

In February 2023, Electra completed the first plant-scale recycling of black mass material in North America, successfully recovering key metals including nickel, cobalt, and graphite using its proprietary process. By March 2023, the plant was also recovering lithium and successfully produced mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP) at contained metal grades for nickel and cobalt above quoted market specifications. The trial also recovered copper and manganese. In the fall of 2024, the Company achieved a key milestone, producing lithium carbonate with greater than 99% purity, or technical grade, confirming it can produce high-quality, battery-grade materials from recycled black mass. To date, the Company has shipped approximately 28 tonnes of MHP to customers.

This has attracted interest from companies in the battery supply chain looking for North American refining solutions, and in 2024, the Company received a $5,000 funding commitment from Canada's Critical Mineral Research Development & Demonstration Program to demonstrate that its hydrometallurgical process can recycle black mass on a continuous production basis, to prove it is scalable, profitable, and reproducible at other locations.

In mid-2025, the Company completed a feasibility level Class 3 Engineering study for the construction of a modular battery recycling facility adjacent to its Refinery, building on the technology and expertise accumulated during a year-long black mass recycling trial, whereby Electra produced technical grade lithium and a nickel and cobalt product from end-of-life lithium batteries.

The Refinery facility will be designed to recover lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper and graphite from lithium-ion battery manufacturing scrap and end of life batteries using the Company's hydrometallurgical process. The next phase of work, funded in part by Natural Resources Canada, will involve operating and recycling process under continuous and semi-continuous conditions to simulate commercial scale throughput.

*Exploration & Evaluation Assets*

The Company is focused on building a North American battery materials supply chain. The Company's Idaho Properties include the Iron Creek Project, its flagship exploration property, with a March 2023 resource estimate (the "2023 MRE"). The properties cover approximately 3,260 hectares with both patented and unpatented claims, as well as 600 meters of underground drifting. In addition to the Iron Creek resource, there are numerous cobalt-copper targets on the property.

The 2023 MRE includes a mineral resource estimate based on all drilling conducted through the end of 2022. The resource model calculated an indicated mineral resource of 4.45 million tonnes at 0.19% Co and 0.73% Cu and an inferred mineral resource of 1.23 million tonnes at 0.08% Co and 1.34% Cu. The mineralization remains open along strike and downdip. The resource does not include the Ruby target as sufficient drilling has not been performed to effectively calculate a volume and grade of mineralization. Management believes that there is potential to continue to expand the size of the Iron Creek resource and continue drilling at the Ruby target.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

In July 2024, the Company announced a previously unknown copper surface showing, the Malachite Hill Copper Showing (the "MHS"), on an unexplored boundary area of the portion of the Idaho properties claims subject to the earn-in and joint venture agreement among the Company, though Idaho Cobalt Company, Borah Resources and Phoenix Copper (the "Redcastle Agreement"). The Malachite Copper Showing was discovered in 2023 and assay results of outcrop grab samples indicate elevated copper (maximum = 2,660 parts per million copper), and low cobalt values. This finding demonstrates the presence of favourable host rocks at surface in this area of the Redcastle property; however, the extent of the surface mineralization exposure remains to be determined. Interestingly, the MHS appears to be located approximately two (2) kilometers along strike (southeast) of Electra's Ruby cobalt-copper target.

In the latter half of 2024, the Company received a Decision Notice for the Iron Creek exploration drilling from U.S. Forestry Service. The 10-year exploration permit allows the Company to undertake exploration activities including setting up 91 drilling locations, along with constructing temporary access roads and staging areas, over 11.3 acres of the Idaho properties.

In October 2025, Electra launched a new program to advance mineral deposit modeling and feedstock integration at its Iron Creek Project. In partnership with the Centre to Advance the Science of Exploration to Reclamation in Mining (CASERM) at the Colorado School of Mines, Electra is conducting geological research at Iron Creek using short-wave infrared hyperspectral imaging to refine its geological model and guide a potential 2026 drilling program. Bulk sampling from Adit #1 will support metallurgical testing to validate processing parameters and evaluate future feedstock compatibility with the refinery.

Electra holds a significant land position in the Idaho Cobalt Belt, including the Iron Creek deposit and the highly prospective Ruby target area.

#### Financial & Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a net income of $28,142 (compared to a net loss of $12,680 for the three months ended March 31, 2025), and a basic earnings per share of $0.28 and diluted earnings per share of $0.16 (compared to a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.86 for the three months ended March 31, 2025).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Net income for the quarter was primarily driven by non-cash fair value adjustments,
while underlying results reflect continued investment in refinery construction, improving balance sheet strength, and disciplined cost management.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Current liabilities decreased significantly to $57,151 from $88,172 at December
31, 2025, primarily due to the revaluation of the US warrants. Long-term liabilities increased slightly to $52,466 from $51,142, mainly
due to payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest on the Term Loan being added to the outstanding principal balance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· General and administrative expenses decreased to $812 from $1,043, primarily due
to the capitalization of certain Refinery-related costs that were expensed in the prior period as the construction resumed at the Refinery.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Consulting and professional fees were $1,184 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to
 $1,001 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, largely reflecting higher consulting activity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Salary and benefits were $844 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared
to $1,252 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to lower corporate headcount and lower incentive compensation relative
to the prior period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Share-based payments for the three months ended March 31, 2026, of $805 compared
to $327 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven by the quantity and timing of options granted
and corresponding expensing thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Exploration and evaluation expenditures were $55
for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $41 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, with the variance attributable to
the timing of annual claims fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Changes in fair value of US Warrants of $33,308 compared to $Nil for the same period
in 2025. The US Warrants are in connection with the April 2025 private placement, the October 2025 private placement, and the Restructuring
fair value which have decreased in fair value and did not exist in the same period in 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Other non-operating expense of $1,323 for the three months ended March 31, 2026
decreased from $3,861 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to decreased transactions costs related to the Restructuring.

*Capital Structure*

The Company manages its capital structure to maximize its financial flexibility, adjusting it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. The Company does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain the future development of the business. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this is appropriate, given the size of the Company.

As at March 31, 2026, the Company's debt consists of a term loan with a carrying value of $40,683 (US$29,186), inclusive of payment-in-kind interest. The term loan matures in October 2028 and bears interest at 8.99% if paid in cash or 11.125% if paid in kind, at the Company's election. In addition, the Company's capital structure also includes government loans with repayment commencing in June 2028 following an extension of the project completion timeline to June 30, 2027.

The current capital structure reflects the comprehensive financial restructuring completed in October 2025, pursuant to which the Company eliminated its outstanding convertible notes, reduced overall debt levels, and extended maturities.

The Company will continue to observe markets with respect to various funding alternatives including equity and debt financing to ensure its liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to fund Refinery expenditures. The Company may also require working capital funding as a result of timing of cash inflows and outflows in conjunction with the ramp up of operations.

*Nasdaq Compliance*

On March 16, 2026, the Company received a Deficiency Notice indicating that it is not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company has been granted an initial 180-day compliance period or until September 14, 2026, to regain compliance, which requires the closing bid price of its common shares to meet or exceed US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If necessary, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period and retains the option to implement a reverse stock split until its next annual meeting of shareholders, under the shareholder approval obtained at the Company's October 15, 2025 special meeting, subject to applicable approvals.

The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet operational and asset advancement requirements as well as ensuring compliance with debt covenants.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had unrestricted cash of $40,160 (December 31, 2025 - $39,024) compared to accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $5,618 (December 31, 2025 - $5,817).

As of the date of this MD&A, the Company believes that, subject to completion of the remaining Ontario government financing initiative, it has sufficient financial resources necessary to complete the construction of the Refinery, however additional capital may be required to complete commissioning and other activities.

The Company had the following summarized cash flows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **<br>Three months<br> ended March <br>31, 2026** | **Three months<br> ended March <br>31, 2025** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Cash (used) in operating activities | $(4076) | $(173) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Cash (used) in by investing activities | (3517) | (322) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Cash provided by/ (used in) financing activities | 8736 | (22) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Change in cash during the period | 1143 | (517) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Effect of exchange rates | (7) | 17 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Cash, beginning of period | 39024 | 3717 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Cash, end of the period | $40160 | $3217 |

---

Cash used in operating activities was $4,076 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $173 used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in cash used in operating activities was driven primarily by changes in working capital.

Cash used in investing activities was $3,517 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $322 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in cash used in investing activities relates to an increase in capital spending related to the Refinery.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $8,736 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to cash flows used by financing activities of $22 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change was primarily driven by proceeds from the ATM, net of transaction costs.

#### Commitments
From time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries may become defendants in legal actions, and the Company may take appropriate measures to minimize the impact. Electra is not aware of any claims against the Company that could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or the ability to carry on any of its business activities. The Company entered into a binding agreement for sale of cobalt sulfate. This is dependent on certain conditions that the Company has to fulfill by December 2026. If not met, the Company has the option to amend or extend the agreement.

The Company's commitments relate to purchase and services commitments for work programs relating to refinery expansion and payments under financing arrangements.

---

1 Royalty payments are estimated amounts associated with the royalty agreements entered with the debt holders as part of the October 2025 Term Loan. The estimated amounts and timing are subject to changes in cobalt sulfate prices, timing of completion of the refinery, reaching commercial operations and timing and amounts of sales.

The Company has recorded a provision for environmental remediation, reclamation and decommissioning for its Ontario assets. For the Refinery, a liability of $2,268 has been recorded as at March 31, 2026, linked to the closure plan filed and accepted in March 2022 and updated in November 2022. In relation to the refinery closure plan, an amount of $3,450 has been posted via a surety bond with the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry ("NDMNRF") as financial assurance.

#### Related Party Transactions
The Company's related parties include key management personnel and the Company's Board of Directors.

The Company paid and/or accrued during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the following fees to management personnel and directors.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | For the three months<br> ended March 31, | For the three months<br> ended March 31, |
| | 2026 | 2025 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Management | $284 | $665 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Directors' fees | 65 | 47 |
|  | $349 | $712 |

---

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had share-based payments made to management and directors of $934 (for the three months ended March 31, 2025 - $235).

As at March 31, 2026, the accrued liabilities balance for related parties was $1,407 (December 31, 2025 - $1,582), which relates mainly to compensation accruals.

The primary reason for lower year over year fees to management personnel and directors for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is higher compensation related accruals during the 2025 period.

#### Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company currently has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

#### Financial Instruments
Refer to Note 21 of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

#### Risk Management
*Financial Risk Factors*

The Company's risk exposure and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:

Page 11 of 12

**ELECTRA BATTERY MATERIALS CORPORATION**

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

 

*Liquidity Risk*

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. As of the date of this MD&A, the Company believes that, subject to completion of the remaining Ontario government financing initiative, it has sufficient financial resources necessary to meet its existing business needs for at least the next 12 months. The Company attempts to ensure there is sufficient access to funds to meet ongoing business requirements, considering its current cash position and potential funding sources. Although the Company has historically been successful in obtaining financing in the past, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future. The Company has future obligations to pay interest and principal related to the term debt. Repayment of the interest-free loan from Canada's Critical Mineral Research Development & Demonstration Program begins in 2028. In conjunction with the October 2025 Term Loan, the Company is subject to a reportable minimum reportable cash balance requirement of US$15,000.

*Credit Risk*

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company's primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash which are being held with major Canadian banks that are high-credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies.

*Interest Rate Risk*

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate. The Company currently does not have any financial instruments that are linked to LIBOR, SOFR, or any form of a floating market interest rate. Therefore, changes in the market interest rate does not have an impact on the Company as at March 31, 2026.

*Foreign Currency Risk*

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the Company's functional currency, Canadian Dollars. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, receivables, and accrued liabilities that are denominated in US Dollars. In addition, the Company's term debt is denominated in US dollars and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will impact the Canadian dollar amounts required to settle interest and principal payments. The Company has not used derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk nor has it entered into foreign exchange contracts to hedge against gains or losses from foreign exchange.

*Business Risks and Uncertainties*

There are many risk factors facing companies involved in the mineral exploration industry. Risk management is an ongoing exercise upon which the Company spends a substantial amount of time. While it is not possible to eliminate all the risks inherent to the industry, the Company strives to manage these risks, to the greatest extent possible. The following risks are most applicable to the Company.

*Going Concern*

As discussed above, as of the date of this MD&A and, as a result of the Restructuring and October 2025 Financing, the Company believes that, subject to completion of various government financing initiatives, it has sufficient financial resources necessary to complete the construction of the Refinery, however additional capital may be required to complete commissioning and other activities. The Company will continue to actively monitor funding markets, including debt and equity, in the event it needs to increase its liquidity and capital resources. The Company is also in discussion with various parties on alternatives to finance the funding of feedstock purchases. Although the Company has historically been successful in obtaining financing in the past, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future. This represents a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial information presented does not include the adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments may be material.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

 

*Financing*

 

The Company has raised funds through grants, equity financing and debt arrangements to fund its operations and the advancement of the Refinery. The market price of natural resources, specifically cobalt prices, is highly speculative and volatile. Instability in prices may affect the interest in resource assets and the development of and production from such properties. This may adversely affect the Company's ability to raise capital or obtain debt to fund corporate activities and growth initiatives.

Please refer to the factors set out under "*Risk Factors*" in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 dated March 27, 2026 ("Annual Report") for further information about risk factors related to our ability to obtain sufficient funding and/or raise debt or equity capital in the future, including in the event that we are not able to continue to maintain the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq.

*Technical Capabilities of the Refinery*

The Company's strategic priority is the advancement of the Refinery, with significant engineering studies and metallurgical testing conducted to date. There is no assurance that the final refining process will have the capabilities to produce specific end products. The Company manages this risk by employing and contracting technical experts in metallurgy and engineering to support refinery process decisions.

*Ability to Meet Debt Service Obligations*

The Company has debt obligations which include ongoing interest payments and payment of principal at maturity. In the event that the refinery construction is not completed as planned or sufficient cash flow from refinery operations is not generated, there is a risk that the Company may not have sufficient available capital to meet its debt obligations. Additionally, the Company is subject to certain covenants related to the October 2025 Term Loan, which include minimum liquidity of US$15,000. Should the Company breach a covenant or be unable to service the debt, the assets pledged may be transferred to the lenders.

*Macroeconomic Risks*

Political and economic instability (including ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, the Gaza Strip and Iran), global or regional adverse conditions, such as pandemics or other disease outbreaks (including the COVID-19 global outbreak) or natural disasters, currency exchange rates, trade tariff developments, transport availability and cost, including import-related taxes, transport security, inflation and other factors are beyond the Company's control. The macroeconomic environment remains challenging, and the Company's results of operations could be materially affected by such macroeconomic conditions.

*Industry and Mineral Exploration Risk*

Mineral exploration is highly speculative, involves many risks and frequently is non-productive. There is no assurance that the Company's exploration efforts will be successful. At present, the Company's projects do not contain any proven or probable reserves. Success in establishing reserves is a result of several factors, including the quality of the project itself. Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves or resources through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes, and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Because of these uncertainties, no assurance can be given that planned exploration programs will result in the establishment of mineral resources or reserves. The Company may be subject to risks, which could not reasonably be predicted in advance. Events such as labour disputes, natural disasters or estimation errors are prime examples of industry-related risks. The Company attempts to balance this risk through ongoing risk assessments conducted by its technical team.

*Commodity Prices*

The Company's mineral exploration operations and its prospects are largely dependent on movements in the price of various minerals. Prices fluctuate daily and are affected by several factors well beyond the control of the Company. The mineral exploration industry in general is a competitive market and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of proven and probable reserves are discovered, a profitable market may exist. The Company has not entered any price hedging programs.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

 

*Environmental*

 

Exploration projects or operations are subject to the environmental laws and applicable regulations of the jurisdiction in which the Company operates. Environmental standards continue to evolve, and the trend is to a longer, more complete and rigid process. The Company reviews environmental matters on an ongoing basis. If and when appropriate, the Company will make appropriate provisions in its financial statements for any potential environmental liability.

*Title of Assets*

Although the Company conducts title reviews in accordance with industry practice prior to any purchase of resource assets, such reviews do not guarantee that an unforeseen defect in the chain on title will not arise and defeat our title to the purchased assets. If such a defect were to occur, our entitlement to the production from such purchased assets could be jeopardized.

*Competition*

 

The Company aims to compete in the burgeoning North American critical minerals industry with the completion of the Refinery. The industry is developing in Canada with new entrants expected in the short term. Many of these competitors have substantially longer histories in the industry as well as substantially greater financial, sales and marketing resources than the Company.

The Company engages in the highly competitive resource exploration industry. The Company competes directly and indirectly with major and independent resource companies in its exploration for and development of desirable resource properties. Many companies and individuals are engaged in this business, and the industry is not dominated by any single competitor or a small number of competitors. Many of such competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, sales, marketing, and other resources, as well as greater historical market acceptance than the Company. The Company will compete with numerous industry participants for the acquisition of land and rights to prospects, and for the equipment and labour required to operate and develop such prospects.

Competition could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. Such competitive disadvantages could adversely affect the Company's ability to participate in projects with favorable rates of return.

*Cybersecurity*

 

The Company's operations depend, in part, on how well it and its third-party service providers protect networks, equipment, information technology ("IT") systems and software against damage from a number of threats, including, but not limited to, cable cuts, natural disasters, intentional damage and destruction, fire, power loss, hacking, computer viruses, vandalism and theft. The Company's operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems and software, as well as pre-emptive expenses to mitigate the risks of failures. Any of these and other events could result in information system failures, delays and/or increase in capital expenses. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact the Company's reputation and results of operations.

The Company's information technology systems and on-line activities, including its e-commerce websites, also may be subject to denial of service, malware or other forms of cyberattacks. While the Company has taken measures to protect against those types of attacks, those measures may not adequately protect its on-line activities from such attacks. The Company's risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access is a priority. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the Company may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.

*U.S. Legislative and Regulatory Policies.*

The current U.S. administration previously significantly increased tariffs on U.S. imports. In 2026, the current U.S. presidential administration has continued to threaten the enactment of additional tariffs on Canada that are as high as 100%. These tariffs have been in many cases amended, postponed, or changed in other ways since their initial announcements, including a subsequent exemption for goods compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which the U.S. presidential administration is reportedly considering pulling out of. Although the United States Supreme Court recently struck down many of the administration's tariffs as unconstitutional, the administration has responded by initiating investigations under the Trade Act of 1974 against certain countries, including Canada, whose goal is to reimpose the tariffs through alternate means. This has resulted in uncertainty over the quantum and duration of tariffs, and this lack of clarity has made it difficult to manage and mitigate the impacts of tariffs. In response to these tariffs, other countries have limited their trade with the United States and have retaliated through their own restrictions and/or increased tariffs, among other actions. In particular, there is uncertainty regarding U.S. tariffs and support for existing treaty and trade relationships, including with Canada, which has been targeted by the current U.S. presidential administration and there is substantial uncertainty as to further actions that may be taken under the current U.S. presidential administration with respect to U.S. trade policy. Implementation by the U.S. government of new legislative or regulatory policies could impose additional costs on us, or otherwise negatively impact us, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operations. In addition, this uncertainty may adversely impact: (i) the ability of companies to transact business with companies such as us; (ii) global stock markets (including the TSXV and Nasdaq); and (iii) general global economic conditions. We continue to evaluate the evolving status of tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, and tariff countermeasures. All these factors are outside of our control, but may nonetheless lead us to adjust our strategy to compete effectively in global markets.

Additional information on risks and uncertainties relating to the Company's business is provided in the Company's Annual Report under the heading "Risk Factors". Additional information relating to Electra, including the Annual Report, is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com. The Company's reports and Annual Reports are also available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

#### Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.
The Company does not have any research and development policies.

#### Trend Information
Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this MD&A and our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events since December 31, 2025, that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our revenue, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause the disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial conditions.

#### Significant Accounting Estimates
Refer to Note 3 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

#### Future Changes in Accounting Policies & Initial Adoption
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are either applicable in the current year or not mandatory for the current period.

In addition, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements was issued by the IASB in April 2024, with mandatory application of the standard in annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 18 on its consolidated financial statements. No standards have been early adopted in the current period.

**ELECTRA BATTERY MATERIALS CORPORATION**

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

 

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to improve reporting of financial performance. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. It carries forward many requirements from IAS 1. IFRS 18 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted. The standard must be applied retrospectively with restatement of comparative information. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to: the structure of the statement of profit or loss; required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements; and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes. The Company is currently assessing the impact and efforts related to adopting IFRS 18. The Company expects the standard will primarily affect the presentation and disclosure of information within the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. These amendments clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance targets); and update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. These amendments apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company adopted these amendments on January 1, 2026 and they did not have material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

#### Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company are responsible for designing internal controls over financial reporting or causing them to be designed under their supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

As a result of progress made strengthening Internal Controls over Financial Reporting ("ICFR") during the period ended December 31, 2025, management no longer feels there are significant deficiencies in its internal controls over financial reporting. Previous deficiencies noted by management have been ameliorated during 2025 and 2024.

Management noted improvement in the following areas where significant deficiencies existed in the past:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Control Environment

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o The Company has added trained financial reporting and accounting personnel with
appropriate skills and knowledge regarding the design, implementation, and operation of internal controls over financing reporting. The
team is in the process of implementing and improving processes and procedures to identify, monitor and improve ICFR and DCP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Procurement, Payment and Receiving Processes

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o The Company has improved reporting and receiving processes to ensure adherence
to the Company's policies at the Company's Refinery project.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no changes in the Company's ICFR that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's ICFR.

*Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed with securities regulatory authorities are recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely fashion. The disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is then accumulated and communicated to the Company's management to ensure timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with management, have evaluated and concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective and appropriately designed as at March 31, 2026.

*(expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)*

 

*Limitations of Controls and Procedures*

The Company's management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that any internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed, can have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

## Exhibit 99.3

**EXHIBIT 99.3**

**Electra Reports Q1 2026 Progress as Refinery Construction Accelerates**

TORONTO, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- **Electra Battery Materials Corporation (NASDAQ: ELBM; TSX-V: ELBM)** ("Electra" or the "Company") today filed its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, including the completion of several milestones in the construction of North America's first battery-grade cobalt sulfate refinery.

During the quarter, Electra advanced several refinery construction activities, approved a comprehensive construction budget and execution schedule, strengthened its commercial position through a strategic supply agreement with LG Energy Solution, and enhanced financial flexibility through expanded capital markets initiatives and government support.

"During the quarter, we executed several construction activities supported by disciplined capital management while maintaining a strong liquidity position," said David Allen, Interim CFO. "Electra ended the quarter with approximately $40 million in cash and a defined refinery construction budget, providing a strong foundation as we execute our project plan and advance toward commissioning."

**Refinery Construction**

* In the first quarter of 2026, Electra's Board of Directors approved a US$73 million construction budget and execution schedule to complete the refinery, with commissioning targeted for Q4 2026, mechanical completion targeted for Q2 2027, and commercial production anticipated in Q4 2027.

* The Company confirmed completion of the refinery early works program and the transition to full-scale construction activities at its permitted cobalt sulfate refinery in Ontario, Canada. The work program included completion of key infrastructure such as exterior pipe racks connecting major process buildings, with civil, structural, concrete and tank installation activities continuing across the site.

* Subsequently, the Company awarded a US$6.1 million engineering, project management and construction management contract to EXP Services Inc. to support refinery construction activities.

* In April, Electra then awarded additional construction contracts across key refinery process areas, including structural, mechanical and piping work associated with the crystallizer circuit and dry product handling infrastructure.

* In May, Electra awarded a C$25 million refinery construction contract under a Limited Notice to Proceed for the solvent extraction building package.

* Electra has now awarded approximately C$32 million in refinery construction contracts, representing a significant portion of the expected construction scope associated with the refinery restart and completion program.

**Commercial Contracts**

* In March, Electra entered into a strategic supply agreement with LG Energy Solution to supply battery-grade cobalt sulfate from the Company's refinery, supporting future North American battery production and strengthening Electra's position within the lithium-ion battery supply chain.

* The updated LGES agreement includes a firm commitment for approximately 60% of the refinery's planned cobalt sulfate production for up to six years.

**Funding & Liquidity**

* In May, the Company announced a definitive C$20 million investment agreement with the Government of Canada under the Strategic Response Fund (SRF) to support completion and commissioning of the refinery. The funding includes a non-repayable contribution of 25% and a repayable contribution of up to 75%.

* During the quarter, the Company increased the size of its at-the-market equity program to US$25 million and raised approximately US$4.6 million in net proceeds through the issuance of common shares at an average price of US$0.91 per share.

* The Company reported cash and cash equivalents of C$40.2 million as at March 31, 2026.

"Electra has a fully permitted refinery under construction, a clear execution plan, strong government support, and a strategic commercial agreement with LG Energy Solution covering a significant portion of future production," said Trent Mell, CEO. "We are executing against our construction plan, key refinery packages have now been awarded, and we are delivering a strategic battery materials asset for the North American market."

Electra is advancing a North American critical minerals platform focused on refining, recycling, and the development of battery materials supply chain infrastructure for lithium-ion batteries for energy storage, defence, and other industrial applications. As governments and industry participants increasingly prioritize secure and localized supply chains, Electra's hydrometallurgical processing platform provides a foundation for future expansion into additional battery materials and related refining opportunities.

The Company's primary focus is the expansion and recommissioning of its permitted refinery complex, which is expected to become North America's first battery-grade cobalt sulfate refinery. The refinery is designed to initially produce approximately 5,120 tonnes per annum of battery-grade cobalt sulfate, with plans to increase production capacity to approximately 6,500 tonnes per annum.

The Company has secured all operating permits required for refinery operations and construction activities currently contemplated within the project scope. Electra continues to evaluate future growth opportunities, including black mass recycling, nickel refining, and other downstream battery materials initiatives.

**About Electra Battery Materials** 

Electra is a leader in advancing North America's critical minerals supply chain for lithium-ion batteries. The Company's primary focus is constructing North America's only cobalt sulfate refinery, as part of a phased strategy to onshore critical minerals refining and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains. In addition to the Refinery, Electra holds a significant land package in Idaho's Cobalt Belt, including its Iron Creek project and surrounding properties, positioning the Company as a potential cornerstone for North American cobalt and copper production.

Electra is also advancing black mass recycling opportunities to recover critical materials from end-of-life batteries, while continuing to evaluate growth opportunities in nickel refining and other downstream battery materials. For more information, please visit <u>www.ElectraBMC.com</u>.
