Evolution Metals & Technologies said it has secured about 754 metric tons of neodymium metal sourced entirely outside China, which it estimates would cover roughly half the feedstock needed to support its 2027 revenue guidance of $400 million to $460 million. The announcement concerns raw-material supply for its rare-earth magnet business; it does not change the guidance or guarantee that the company will achieve it.
The supply consists of material already at the company’s Pohang facility, shipments pending and quantities committed for delivery through 2027. The company also has additional neodymium supply under discussion, but that volume is not yet secured.
Key details
- Neodymium supply: The 754 metric tons comprises about 42 tons already delivered to Pohang, 72 tons pending shipment through March 2027 and 640 tons committed through the end of 2027.
- Senri Trading contract: The 640-ton committed total includes a 600-ton contract with Senri Trading for rapid delivery.
- Additional supply under discussion: A further 1,000 metric tons is being discussed for 2027 delivery. It is separate from the 754 tons secured.
- Dysprosium: The company has about 520 kilograms of dysprosium metal at Pohang and says 1.5 metric tons per month is committed to begin in February 2027.
- Manufacturing readiness: EM&T says it has assembled the ten elements it considers necessary for large-scale magnet production: land, power, equipment, permits, operators, feedstock, magnets, buyers, buyer certifications and capital.
- Broader capacity plan: The company has referenced a planned expansion to about 10,000 metric tons of annual rare-earth magnet capacity, including roughly 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered magnets.
Plain-English implications
The announced neodymium supply covers only about half of the feedstock EM&T estimates it needs for its 2027 revenue outlook. The totals also include different stages of supply: some metal is already delivered, some is awaiting shipment, and the largest portion is committed for future delivery. The additional 1,000 tons remains under discussion.
The revenue outlook remains dependent on factors beyond sourcing material. The company identifies risks including feedstock availability and cost, equipment installation and commissioning, customer qualification and demand, and access to financing and working capital.
