Reworded paragraphs (15)

Previous wording

USA Rare Earth, Inc. (“USAR”), is a company with a mission to establish a vertically integrated, domestic rare earth magnet supply chain that supports the future state of energy, mobility, and national security in the United States (“U.S.”). We are developing our Stillwater Facility, located in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and via our Round Top Project, intend to establish domestic rare earth and critical minerals supply, extraction, and processing capabilities to both supply our magnet manufacturing plant at Stillwater and market surplus materials to third parties. Rare earth magnets are critical to various business sectors and industries, including the defense, automotive, aviation, artificial intelligence (also referred to as “AI”) robotics, industrial, medical and consumer electronics industries, among others. Our vertically integrated approach – from sourcing rare earth elements (“REE”), in addition to other critical minerals such as gallium, to producing finished sintered Neodymium Iron Boron (“NdFeB“ or “neo”) magnets – assists in strengthening the U.S.’s control over critical supply chains such as the supply of rare earth minerals and magnets and thus reduce domestic reliance on foreign, particularly Chinese, imports. We believe our focus on developing domestic rare earth production aligns with national priorities, offering the future potential of a sustainable and secure domestic supply of materials critical to key industries. We have been in the exploration and research stages since our formation and have not yet realized any revenues from our planned operations.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared contemplating the continuation of the Company as a going concern and the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon our ability to continue as a going concern. While our management believes in the viability of its strategy to generate future revenues, control costs and the ability to raise additional funds, our strategy may not be successful. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary were we unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the statement of financial position classifications used.

We consider cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. As of June 30, 2025, we had $121.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Although we had sufficient cash on our balance sheet and sufficient flow of cash from the $75M PIPE financing, exercise of warrants, and interest income on our cash balances to handle our operations over the next 12 months, we will still need to raise additional capital to implement our current strategic plan and to purchase raw material inventory to achieve our revenue projections and positive cash flows.

Current wording

In addition, we expect to increase operational costs as we build our infrastructure to handle the forecasted increase production and sales.
