Sigma Lithium (NASDAQ:SGML) announced its quarterly earnings data on Friday. The company reported ($0.02) earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of $0.23 by ($0.25), FiscalAI reports.

Sigma Lithium had a negative net margin of 41.84% and a negative return on equity of 57.50%.

Here are the key takeaways from Sigma Lithium’s conference call:

• Record operating and financial performance: Q2 production rose 52% sequentially to 35,400 tons of lithium oxide concentrate, while revenue reached a company record of $55 million and EBITDA margin reached a record 47%.
• Sigma reported strong cost control, with all-in sustaining cash costs of $668 per ton, and lowered its 2026 cost guidance to that level. The company also generated $27 million in operating cash flow during the first half and reduced total debt by 43% over two years.
• A redesigned mine pit expanded access to high-grade ore by 83%, supporting the company’s plan to increase output to 330,000 tons annually using the existing plant and to reach approximately 830,000 tons of installed capacity by the end of 2028 through additional plants.
• Mining and processing were temporarily suspended amid negotiations with authorities in Minas Gerais, although management expects a restart within roughly one to two weeks. The company said it can continue selling lower-grade materials and expects about CAD 60 million of cash inflows in Q3, but the disruption and regulatory dispute remain execution risks.
