Insights

The Q3 results reveal significant financial developments for TMC. The $63 million in available liquidity, bolstered by expanded credit facilities and a $17.5 million registered direct offering, provides operational runway. However, the $20.5 million quarterly net loss ($0.06 per share) and $5.7 million cash burn rate raise concerns about long-term sustainability.

The strategic pivot to defer capital expenditures until regulatory clarity emerges is prudent. The company's plan to reduce quarterly cash use to below $5 million post-application submission demonstrates fiscal discipline. The expansion into services business and portfolio diversification could create new revenue streams, though execution risks remain high.

The $1.00 share offering price with $2.00 warrants suggests market skepticism, trading well below the $5.00 VWAP target for forced exercise. Current market cap of $298 million reflects early-stage risks in deep-sea mining ventures.

The planned June 2025 exploitation application submission represents a important regulatory milestone. The timing strategy, coordinated with Nauru's formal request for process clarification at March 2025 ISA meetings, shows diplomatic awareness and careful planning.

The ongoing development of the ISA Mining Code and first-reading completion of draft regulations indicates progress, though uncertainties remain. The company's engagement with the new Secretary-General-Elect Carvalho and increased U.S. political interest, particularly through Congressional testimony, suggests growing institutional support for deep-sea mining.

The Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment demonstrates commitment to stakeholder engagement, though regulatory and environmental hurdles remain substantial. The company's position as an industry pioneer brings both advantages and heightened scrutiny in establishing precedents for deep-sea mining operations.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TMC the metals company Inc. (Nasdaq: TMC) (“TMC” or “the Company”), an explorer of lower-impact battery metals from seafloor polymetallic nodules, today provided a corporate update and financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2024.

Q3 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Current liquidity available from our cash on hand and our credit facilities of approximately $63 million as of date of filing
  • Borrowing capacity of our unsecured credit facilities increased by $10.5 million as of date of filing:
    • ERAS/Barron facility increased from $25 million to $38 million ($33.8 million available), and;
    • Allseas Group SA affiliate facility reduced from $27.5 million to $25.0 million (undrawn)
  • $5.7 million cash used in operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2024
  • Net loss of $20.5 million and net loss per share of $0.06 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024

Registered Direct Offering

  • Registered Direct Offering resulting in expected minimum gross proceeds of $17.5 million through equity issuance at $1.00 per share
  • The Registered Direct Offering is led by TMC’s largest non-affiliate institutional shareholder
  • The transaction includes warrant coverage of 50% (1 warrant for every 2 common shares purchased) with a warrant strike price of $2.00 per share
  • Warrants contain a call provision which forces exercise if the 30-day volume weighted-average price (“VWAP”) of TMC common stock exceeds $5.00

Gerard Barron, Chairman & CEO of The Metals Company commented: “This week we announced June 27, 2025, as the date for NORI to submit its exploitation application to the ISA. This decision, made in close consultation with NORI’s Sponsoring State Nauru, represents years of preparation, backed by the largest dataset ever collected on the deep sea in international waters. We’re excited to share our application with the ISA and stakeholders and recognize the responsibility that comes with submitting the world’s first application of this kind.

After years of conversations with shareholders, it’s clear that the delivery of the Mining Code by the ISA is viewed as a key catalyst for TMC. Recent discussions with Member States and the incoming ISA Secretary-General give me confidence that there is no change in the ISA’s commitment to deliver on its mandate. But until we have sufficient regulatory progress—whether through delivery of the Mining Code or clarity on the ISA’s application review process—investors can rest assured we won’t be raising funds for CAPEX for the Hidden Gem production system upgrades.

While getting the NORI-D Project permitted and into production has been our strong focus, the TMC’s value goes beyond our first project. With over half a billion dollars invested over the past decade in building our project development capabilities in deepsea minerals, we’re well-positioned to capitalize on new opportunities as the world’s major economies turn to the seafloor for metals essential to the energy transition, defense, infrastructure, and a growing global population. I look forward to sharing more on how we plan to capitalize on this shift.

In the meantime, we’re watching promising momentum in Washington, with several initiatives expected to gain traction post-election. One of Washington’s strongest nodule resource development supporters, Rep. Elise Stefanik, has been tapped as UN Ambassador, and Marco Rubio, another key supporter, is set to become Secretary of State, which oversees the ISA file. We anticipate the Pentagon’s long-awaited report on nodules to be released soon, and we’re encouraged by the increased U.S. interest in the ISA’s work. The world is moving toward responsible development of seafloor metals—and TMC retains its substantial lead in this industry.”

Operational Highlights
November 14, 2024 Registered Direct Offering
$17.5 million minimum amount raised through a registered direct offering, led by TMC's largest non-affiliate institutional shareholder. Shares were issued at $1.00 per share, with half warrant at $2.00 per share expiring in 5 years.

Application Submission and Strategy
NORI has set the date of June 27, 2025 for its expected submission of its ISA exploitation application. According to the ISA Council's decisions ISBA/28/C/24 and ISBA/28/C/25, if NORI submits an application for a plan of work for exploitation before the RRPs have been adopted, the ISA Council at its next meeting, as a matter of priority, will consider the process for considering such an application. The ISA Council is not scheduled to meet again until March 2025 and the Company believes it is unlikely that the ISA Council would consider an application for a plan of work for exploitation before this session. In light of this, Nauru has formally requested that the ISA clarify the submission and review process for such an application at the March 2025 meetings before NORI submits the Application and, therefore, has decided to submit the Application after the March 2025 meetings on June 27, 2025.

Operating Expense Reductions and Deferral of Capital Expenditures
Following the expected submission of the Application by NORI, the Company expects quarterly cash use of less than $5 million as the Application is reviewed. The Company has already begun the process of reducing or eliminating certain operating expenses to ensure the Company’s financial resiliency. Further, the Company does not expect to raise funds for capital expenditures related to the preparation of the Hidden Gem vessel for commercial production until such time as the final Mining Code is adopted, the Application is approved, or until other potential non-dilutive strategic financing is in place. The Company expects to provide further updates on the potential timing of the start of commercial production following sufficient clarity on these items.

Expanded Company Strategy
Given the significant rise in seafloor resource exploration opportunities around the globe and the Company’s leadership position and experience in this industry, having invested over $500 million since inception to achieve milestones in environmental research, resource definition, test mining and test processing, the Company is exploring a new strategy to (1) develop a services business for seafloor resource development and (2) optimize and diversify its resource portfolio within international waters and in national jurisdictions. We are in discussions with several parties on services contracts to provide our expertise in the areas of new exploration plans of work, resource definition, environmental impact assessments, data management and offshore campaign execution. We are also actively evaluating opportunities for the Company to enter new exploration contract areas, already permitted properties and producing properties.

Global stakeholder webinar on NORI’s Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment: In September, TMC subsidiary NORI held a webinar with its technical expert, SEARCH Inc. to provide an update on its Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment (CHIA) for the NORI-D polymetallic nodule project in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone in international waters. NORI reported on its baselining work and recent consultations in Nauru and Tonga, both of which form components of the cultural heritage assessment being studied as part of the NORI-D Project.

Industry Update

Progress on ISA Mining Code: Council completed a first reading of the consolidated text of the draft regulations on exploitation of mineral resources in the Area, at the July 2024 Council meeting. It was agreed that a revised consolidated text would be provided by the end of November 2024. TMC has engaged with Secretary-General-Elect Carvalho and expects to work with her in a constructive manner as the ISA continues to work to have the final Mining Code adopted.

TMC CEO Testifies to U.S. House of Representatives on Benefits of Nodules: In September, TMC CEO Gerard Barron gave testimony during a meeting of the Critical Mineral Policy Working Group for the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party to discuss the U.S.’ heavy reliance on Chinese imports of critical minerals and policy solutions to incentivise greater cooperation with allies to create alternative supplies. Mr Barron spoke to the potential of seafloor nodules to secure U.S. supplies of key minerals for the energy transition and defence sectors.

Financial Results Overview
At September 30, 2024, we held cash of approximately $0.4 million and short-term debt of $9.2 million, with an affiliate of Allseas Group SA ($5 million) and with the Barron/ERAS unsecured credit facility ($4.2 million). We believe that our total liquidity including cash, the committed proceeds from our latest financing and borrowing availability under our credit facility with ERAS Capital LLC and Mr. Barron, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure commitments for at least the next twelve months from today.

We reported a net loss of approximately $20.5 million, or $0.06 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to net loss of $12.5 million, or $0.04 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Exploration and evaluation expenses during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 were $11.8 million compared to $7.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The increase in the exploration and evaluation expenses in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation of $1.8 million due to the amortization of the fair value of RSUs and options granted to the directors and officers in the second quarter of 2024, increase in mining, technological and process development of $1.0 million resulting from increased engineering work by Allseas and higher personnel costs of $1.0 million.

General and administrative expenses were $8.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $4.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, reflecting an increase in share-based compensation of $1.8 million due to the amortization of the fair value of RSUs and options granted to the directors and officers in the second quarter of 2024, an increase in legal and consulting costs of $1.0 million and higher personnel costs of $0.5 million.
