Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Organization
USA Rare Earth, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “USARE,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is building a leading global rare earth value chain, from mine to magnet and beyond. The Company intends to secure, reshore, and grow the materials intelligence and production technologies required to stand up a resilient rare earth industry. This advanced industrial operating system should strengthen supply-chain security for the national defense, manufacturing and technology of the United States (“U.S.”) and its allies. The Company’s plan is to build an integrated platform to encompass the entire rare earth value chain: extraction and separation of rare earth oxides; conversion of oxides into metals, alloys and strip-cast; and production of sintered neodymium-iron-boron (“NdFeB”) permanent magnets, which the Company refers to as neo magnets. This capability should address the supply-chain vulnerabilities created by China’s current dominance of rare earth processing, and metal and magnet manufacturing.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed two significant transactions: a business combination and an acquisition.
On March 13, 2025, the Company consummated a business combination with USA Rare Earth, LLC pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement with Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. II, as a result of which the Company became a publicly traded corporation listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “USAR.” The transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with USA Rare Earth, LLC treated as the accounting acquirer. The historical financial statements of USA Rare Earth, LLC became the historical financial statements of the Company upon consummation of the merger. As a result, the financial statements in this quarterly report reflect (i) the historical operating results of USA Rare Earth, LLC prior to the merger; (ii) the combined results of Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. II and USA Rare Earth, LLC following the close of the merger; (iii) the assets and liabilities of USA Rare Earth, LLC at their historical cost; and (iv) USA Rare Earth, LLC’s equity structure for all periods presented, as affected by the recapitalization presentation after completion of the merger.
On November 18, 2025, the Company acquired Indian Ocean Rare Metals Pte. Ltd., the parent of Less Common Metals Ltd. (“Less Common Metals”), a rare earth metal and alloy manufacturer based in Cheshire, United Kingdom. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the results of Less Common Metals have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date.
For a complete description of both transactions, including the purchase price allocation, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and related accounting policies, refer to Note 2, “Merger Transaction and Acquisition,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The December 31, 2025 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements and does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP; however, the Company believes the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The March 31, 2026 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto in the 2025 Annual Report.
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods. References to a year refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended on December 31 of the specified year.
Principles of Consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the financial statement date and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include goodwill and other intangible assets arising from business combinations, asset and liability valuations, including earnout and warrant liabilities, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances, and other fair value measurements. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the exercise of judgment; therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates if assumptions or underlying circumstances change.
Significant Accounting Policies
For a detailed description of the Company’s Significant Accounting Policies, please refer to the Company’s 2025 Annual Report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires additional disclosures that disaggregate income statement expense line items, including (i) the amounts of purchased inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and other related costs and expenses; (ii) a qualitative description of costs and expenses not disaggregated quantitatively; and (iii) the definition and total amount of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted for all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its financial reporting disclosures.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. This ASU amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its financial reporting disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. This ASU applies to business entities that receive government grants and addresses the accounting for cash and non-monetary grants, including forgivable loans, while excluding tax abatements, income tax credits, and exchange transactions. The ASU requires recognition of government grants when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. The amendments permit income‑related grants to be presented as either other income or a reduction of related expenses, and asset‑related grants to be recorded as deferred income or as a reduction of the asset’s cost basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The ASU may be applied using a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or full retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its financial reporting disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which improves and clarifies interim reporting requirements under U.S. GAAP. The ASU compiles required interim disclosures, including disclosure of material changes since the last annual reporting period, to improve consistency and navigability. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The ASU should be applied prospectively, although retrospective application is permitted for all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its financial reporting disclosures.
Note 2. Fair Value Measurements
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price), and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair-value measurement and unobservable.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist. The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is performed as of October 1. The Company may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment indicates potential impairment, or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment, a quantitative impairment test is performed. In the quantitative test, the carrying value of the reporting unit is compared to its estimated fair value. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess, limited to the carrying amount of goodwill.

Note 4. Variable Interest Entity
Round Top Mountain Development
Round Top Mountain Development, LLC (“RTMD”) is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), has mining rights at Round Top Mountain in the State of Texas, and is developing processing technology to process the rare earth minerals to be mined at Round Top Mountain.
On May 17, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of 80% of the equity interests of RTMD, pursuant to a contribution agreement among the Company, Texas Mineral Resources Corp. (“TMRC”), and RTMD, whereby TMRC and the Company contributed their respective rights and interests in Round Top Mountain to RTMD in exchange for equity ownership. Concurrently, the Company, TMRC, and RTMD entered into a limited liability company agreement of RTMD which documented the governance of RTMD. This acquisition resulted in the consolidation of RTMD and the recognition of a noncontrolling interest representing TMRC’s equity interest.
Under the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of RTMD, in the event that TMRC does not fund its share of mandatory capital contributions called for by the Company as the manager of RTMD, the Company is obligated to cover the shortfall by making additional capital contributions to RTMD (or in the event that the Company does not fund, the capital call will be withdrawn). If the Company does fund the capital contribution, additional equity interests in RTMD will be issued to the Company and TMRC will be proportionally diluted in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated limited liability company agreement. TMRC’s failure to fund its share of mandatory capital contributions called under the agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2026 has caused the Company’s ownership interest in RTMD to be increased by 30 basis points.
The following table presents the ownership percentages of the Company and TMRC and the changes in ownership percentages as of the dates indicated.

Texas Mineral Resources Corp. Acquisition
On March 4, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with TMRC, pursuant to which the Company is expected to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of TMRC in an all‑stock transaction. The acquisition will eliminate TMRC’s minority ownership interests in RTMD and establish the Company as the sole operator and 100% economic beneficiary of the “Round Top Project,” which consists of our operations and rights related to Round Top Mountain and the Round Top Mountain heavy rare earth element (“HREE”) metals deposit (the “Round Top Deposit”). The transaction is intended to secure full ownership control of the project, and streamline operations, governance and decision-making.
The transaction is valued at approximately $72.3 million based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 4, 2026. The aggregate merger consideration consists of approximately 3.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. The ultimate value of the consideration will depend on the Company’s stock price at closing.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities of RTMD that are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the dates indicated.

RTMD did not record depletion expense for the mineral interests for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
RTMD’s creditors have no recourse against the Company for the RTMD consolidated liabilities included within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The assets of the consolidated VIE can only be used to settle the obligations of the consolidated VIE and not the obligations of the Company.
Mineral Rights
The Company acquiredtwo mineral rights leases and an associated groundwater lease in Hudspeth County, Texas as part of the acquisition of RTMD. Mineral property acquisition costs, including acquired intangibles, licenses, and lease payments, are capitalized at cost. The net carrying value of mineral rights was $17.3 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Impairment losses are recorded on mineral rights when indicators of impairment are present and the carrying amount exceeds the associated estimated future undiscounted cash flows. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company determined that no impairment indicators were present with respect to its mineral rights.
Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
Potential Future Environmental Contingency
The Company's planned exploration and development activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally have become more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations to protect public health and the environment and believes its current operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. As the Company's mining activities have not yet commenced, the Company has made, and expects to make, expenditures to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations. The ultimate amount of reclamation and site-restoration costs to be incurred for future mining operations is unknown and uncertain as of March 31, 2026.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive notices alleging infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights. The outcomes of any legal proceedings, claims, notices or litigation are subject to uncertainty, and any claims against the Company, whether meritorious or not, can be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant management time, create negative perceptions with communities, stakeholders, and government agencies and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. If an unfavorable outcome was to occur in any proceeding, claim or litigation, the Company could be adversely affected in the period in which they are resolved and the impact could be material to the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations, depending on the specific circumstances of the outcome. The Company accrues loss contingencies when it is both probable that the Company will incur the loss and when it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss.
Kelley Complaint
On October 16, 2025, Jill Kelley filed an action in New York Supreme Court against USA Rare Earth, LLC (Case No. 659163/2025 (N.Y. Sup.)) alleging a breach of a 2019 Consulting Agreement resulting from a purported partial payment of the obligations thereunder. Kelley also asserts claims for breach of a duty of good faith and fair dealing and unjust enrichment based on the same conduct underlying the alleged breach of the Consulting Agreement.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company proposed to settle the matter. The Company determined that the proposed settlement consideration, consisting of cash, cash payments in lieu of equity awards, and interest, was both probable and reasonably estimable and, accordingly, recorded an estimated loss contingency of approximately $0.4 million in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Subsequent to March 31, 2026 and through the date of this Report, the settlement agreement has not been finalized. Any settlement, if consummated, will not constitute an admission of liability by the Company.

Note 8. Income Taxes

| (Loss) income before income taxes | $(68,645) | $51,682 |
| Benefit from income taxes | (577) | — |
| Effective tax rate | 0.8% | —% |
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, United Kingdom, France, and various state jurisdictions. The Company’s effective tax rate of 0.8% is calculated quarterly based upon current assumptions relating to the full year’s estimated operating results and various tax-related items. Each quarter, the estimated annual effective tax rate is updated if the Company revises its forecast of earnings based upon its operating results. If there is a change in the estimated effective annual tax rate, a cumulative adjustment is recorded.
The difference between the effective tax rate of 0.8% and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was due to changes in the valuation allowance, which entirely offsets the Company's net deferred tax assets in the United States, and the amortization of the identifiable intangible assets accounted for in purchase accounting. As of March 31, 2026, the Company determined that, based on an evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence, including cumulative losses and the Company's latest forecasts, it was more likely than not that the Company's deferred tax assets in the United States would not be realized and, therefore, the Company continued to record a valuation allowance.
Note 9. Net (Loss) Income per Share
The following table presents the computation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of net (loss) income per share attributable to holders of the Company’s common stock.

Note 10. Segment Reporting
The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment encompassing its vertically integrated rare earth element magnet production and supply chain. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s chief executive officer.
The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources primarily on the basis of consolidated net (loss) income and total assets, which are reported on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. The CODM does not regularly review discrete segment revenue or expense categories beyond the consolidated financial statements for purposes of evaluating performance or allocating resources. Accordingly, the Company has not presented additional quantitative disclosures of significant segment expenses, as such information is not regularly provided to the CODM.
Because the Company operates in a single reportable segment and the measures used by the CODM are consistent with the consolidated financial statements, no reconciliation is required between segment measures and the consolidated amounts.
Note 11. Concentrations
Disaggregation of Revenue

Note 12. Government Grants
Expected U.S. Government Transaction
On January 26, 2026, the Company announced two non-binding letters of intent with U.S. government agencies representing a total of approximately $1.58 billion in potential funding and strategic support. The first non-binding letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce (the “DOC Letter of Intent”) covers $277.0 million in direct funding awards under the CHIPS Act, and $1.30 billion in senior secured debt with each advance having a 15-year term and bearing a fixed or floating interest rate. The second non-binding letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (the “DOE Letter of Intent”), establishes a collaboration to advance HREE separation technologies at our Colorado Facility and Round Top Deposit, leveraging digital twin technology. Collectively, these two letters of intent and their contemplated transactions are referred to as the “Expected U.S. Government Transaction.”
As conditions to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, the Company must, among other things: (i) raise at least $500.0 million from non-federal sources, which was satisfied upon the closing of the $1.50B PIPE in January 2026; (ii) obtain two memoranda of understanding from semiconductor end or midstream users; (iii) obtain neodymium praseodymium oxide and MREC feedstock supply agreements with a term at least through 2027; (iv) exercise a surface purchase option with the Texas General Land Office; (v) implement certain third-party recommendations and third-party validation of nuclear material licensing requirements at the Company's research and development facility in Wheat Ridge, Colorado; and (vi) define a power infrastructure plan for the Company's magnet manufacturing facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
In addition, the U.S. Government's $277.0 million in direct funding awards includes a condition requiring the Company to issue to the U.S. government $277.0 million of common stock (approximately 16.1 million shares at $17.17 per share), and the $1.30 billion senior secured loan would require the issuance of warrants to the U.S. government representing an additional 10% of the Company's fully diluted shares outstanding (approximately 17.5 million shares with an exercise price of $17.17 per share and a 10-year exercise period). In addition, to meet certain milestones to obtain funding awards and debt financing to reimburse the Company for its capital expenditures under the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, the Company would be required to raise a significant amount of capital during 2026 and 2027 and establish a $250.0 million revolving credit facility by December 31, 2026.
Note 13. Subsequent Events
Earnout Share Conversion
In connection with the business combination between the Company and USA Rare Earth, LLC, the Company agreed to issue common stock of the Company (the “earnout shares”) to certain shareholders of USA Rare Earth, LLC in two tranches upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. On April 15, 2026, the Company achieved the market-price condition for the first tranche of earnout shares, as the Company's common stock exceeded $15.00 per share for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days. As a result,5.0 million earnout shares were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock.
The earnout shares were classified as liabilities and remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis prior to conversion. Upon conversion, the related earnout liability was reclassified to common stock and additional paid‑in capital. The remaining earnout shares associated with the second tranche continue to be classified as a liability and will remain subject to remeasurement until the applicable market‑price condition is achieved or the earnout period expires. The second tranche of 5.0 million earnout shares will become payable when the Company’s common stock price exceeds $20.00 per share for at least 20 out of 30 trading days.
Carester SAS Investment
On April 9, 2026, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (the “Carester LOI”) to acquire a 12.5% equity interest in Carester SAS (“Carester”), the parent company of Caremag SAS, for cash and equity consideration amounting to €40.0 million, or approximately $46.4 million.
The proposed consideration consists of €28.3 million in cash, or approximately $32.9 million, and €11.7 million in equity consideration, or approximately $13.5 million, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock, in each case subject to customary adjustments, including the potential substitution of cash in lieu of the Company’s common stock.
The number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued will be determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the closing date of the transaction. As a result, the actual U.S. dollar value of the cash and equity consideration, when translated from euros to U.S. dollars, may differ from the estimated amounts described above.
SVRE Holdings Ltd. Acquisition
On April 19, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of SVRE Holdings Ltd., the parent company of Serra Verde Group (“Serra Verde”), for $300.0 million in cash and 126.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock (approximately $2.53 billion) for total consideration of approximately $2.83 billion. This acquisition is subject to customary conditions. Serra Verde operates a rare earths project in Brazil that is currently in commercial production.
Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund Grant
On May 11, 2026, the Company entered into a Grant Agreement with the Office of the Governor of the State of Texas (the “OOG”) pursuant to the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (“TSIF”), Grant No. TSIF 26-016P. Under the Grant Agreement, the OOG has agreed to reimburse the Company for certain allowable costs directly allocable to the Round Top Project, up to a maximum amount of $14.2 million.
The grant is disbursed on a cost reimbursement basis and is subject to the Company's strict compliance with the terms and conditions of the Grant Agreement, including applicable reporting, audit, and performance requirements. The Grant Agreement terminates upon the completion of the grant project, on December 31, 2028, or upon the depletion of grant funds, whichever occurs first.
