Liontown Limited (ASX: LTR) recorded a share price decline of nearly 2.91% at the time of writing, trading at AU$1.582 after falling AU$0.047 during the session. The update follows the release of the company’s half-year financial results for the period ended 31 December 2025, highlighting strong operational growth alongside the ongoing ramp-up of its Kathleen Valley lithium project.
Operational Growth Driven by Kathleen Valley
During the first half of FY2026, Liontown produced 192,514 dry metric tonnes of spodumene concentrate at an average grade of 5.0% lithium oxide, marking a substantial increase compared with the prior corresponding period. Sales volumes also climbed significantly to 189,596 dry metric tonnes, supported by the ramp-up of underground operations at Kathleen Valley.
The company has completed the transition to a fully underground mining operation at Kathleen Valley, delivering an underground mining run-rate of approximately one million tonnes per annum. Management is targeting an increase in capacity to 1.5 million tonnes per annum by the end of March 2026 as operations continue to scale up.
Financial Performance Reflects Ramp-Up Phase
Liontown generated revenue of AU$207.5 million during the half year, more than doubling compared with the previous corresponding period. The increase was largely driven by higher production and stronger sales volumes.
Despite the revenue growth, the company reported an underlying EBITDA loss of AU$7.7 million as the project continues its ramp-up phase and incurs associated operating costs. The statutory net loss of AU$184.0 million includes a significant non-cash accounting charge related to the revaluation of the LG Energy Solution convertible note derivative.
Balance Sheet Strength and Expansion Plans
Liontown ended the period with cash of AU$390.5 million, providing financial flexibility to support operational growth and development initiatives. Following the conversion of the LG Energy Solution convertible notes to equity in February 2026, the company’s gearing level improved significantly.
The company is also progressing a study to refresh its proposed expansion of the Kathleen Valley project to a capacity of four million tonnes per annum, which could further strengthen its long-term production outlook.
