New Risk • Aug 16
New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Dividend per share is over 8x earnings per share. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 1.5% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Dividend per share is over 8x earnings per share. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. High level of non-cash earnings (23% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change).

Second quarter dividend of CA$0.10 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of CA$0.10. Ex-date: 18th September 2026 Payment date: 28th September 2026 Dividend yield will be 1.2%, which is lower than the industry average of 6.1%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (dividend approximately 7x earnings) and the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has decreased over the past 86 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 770% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 100% over the next year, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Aankondiging • Aug 13

Neo Performance Materials Inc. Successfully Commissions Heavy Rare Earth Separation Small-Scale Production Line in Europe Neo Performance Materials Inc. announced the successful commissioning of its heavy rare earth element solvent extraction small-scale production line at its Silmet facility in Estonia. The solvent extraction line is operating at nameplate capacity, with efforts now focused on delivering stable product purity prior to transitioning to routine production capacity. The operation has produced its first separated terbium and dysprosium process solutions, pre-cursor products for metal making, from mixed rare earth carbonate feedstock, with all processing completed entirely in Europe. This achievement validates the technical robustness and operational reliability of the Silmet HREE solvent extraction line under continuous operating conditions and marks a significant milestone in establishing advanced heavy rare earth separation capability in Europe. Dysprosium and terbium are essential inputs for high-performance sintered rare-earth permanent magnets used in robotics, electric-vehicle traction motors, wind turbines, and industrial automation applications. By developing this separation capability at Silmet, Neo is advancing a secure, Europe-based supply of these critical materials to support its growing magnet manufacturing operations and to serve the broader strategic objectives of supply chain diversification. Neo's heavy rare earth separation initiative complements its European Permanent Magnet facility in Estonia, which is advancing through customer qualification milestones, with commercial production expected to ramp later in 2026.

Neo Performance Materials Ships First Magnet Samples Produced At New European Facility to Its Tier 1 Traction Motor Customer Neo Performance Materials Inc. announced that its new permanent magnet facility in Estonia has shipped sintered magnet samples for a Tier 1 traction motor customer meeting specific magnetic properties. This milestone marks a significant step forward in Neo's commitment to providing high-performance materials for the electric vehicle market. Key Highlights: Neo has produced 18,000 assembled magnet pieces as part of the initial production samples. The magnets are EV traction motor grade and represent an important technical milestone. The magnet samples will be assembled into traction motors for performance testing by the Tier 1 customer and OEM. Production part approval process products are scheduled for the first half of 2026, with mass production to start later in that year. With over 30 years of experience in rare earth magnetics, Neo has built a reliable global supply chain that enhances its ability to serve the automotive sector. This deep industry expertise is expected to position Neo to successfully scale its new sintered magnet facility in Narva, Estonia, and support growing demand. The facility is strategically located near Neo's rare earth separation facility in Sillamae, Estonia, which is expected to allow for vertical integration of operations and efficient production processes in the future. The facility is projected to have an initial production capacity of 2,000 metric tonnes annually, with plans to scale to 5,000 metric tonnes annually. This USD 75 million facility was supported by an up to EUR18.7 million grant from the EU's Just Transition Fund and a USD 50 million credit facility from Export Development Canada, with construction to be completed in 2025. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen recognized the facility as a significant advancement for Estonia and Europe at the groundbreaking in June 2023. The facility represents one of Europe and the world's most strategic critical materials projects in rare earth magnetics outside of Asia. The expansion will help Neo meet strong demand for high-performance magnets in EVs and other applications. Aankondiging • Apr 17

Neo Performance Materials Inc. Announces That Its High-Purity Heavy Rare Earth Separations Facility in Jiangyin , China Has Reopened for Full Operations Neo Performance Materials Inc. announced that its high-purity heavy rare earth separations facility in Jiangyin (JAMR), China has reopened for full operations after being shut down for 12 days following a government-mandated and city-wide lockdown order. None of Neo's employees tested positive for the COVID virus. All of Neo's rare earth and rare metal production facilities worldwide are now fully operational. The JAMR plant is the only Neo facility that was forced to close temporarily because of the COVID pandemic. Neo processes rare earth feedstock at JAMR into high-purity separated rare earth products, including dysprosium and terbium that can be used in sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnets for drive trains and related systems in electric vehicles. JAMR also produces precisely engineered materials for use in multi-layer ceramic capacitor chips for nano electronics systems in electric vehicles, smart phones, wearable devices, telemedicine, 5G communications, and the Internet of Things (IOT). Several trillion of these specialized chips are manufactured globally each year. On the back of strong first quarter 2022 financial performance, demand for Neo's high-purity rare earth products, particularly the magnetic rare earths neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium, remain high given the rapidly growing reliance on them by manufacturers of battery electric, hybrid electric, and conventional vehicles, as well as by makers of energy efficient pumps and ultra-high speedmotors.
