TMC the metals company remains a pre‑revenue developer and reported a net loss of $20.6 million for the three months ended March 31 2026, similar to the prior‑year period. The loss was driven mainly by exploration and evaluation expenses of $13.3 million and general and administrative expenses of $20.7 million, including significant share‑based compensation.
Cash was $119.7 million and total assets $184.9 million, against total liabilities of $212.2 million, leaving negative equity of $27.3 million due largely to a long‑term royalty liability of $145 million and an accumulated deficit of $971.9 million. Net cash used in operating activities was modest at $0.6 million in the quarter because many costs were non‑cash.
The company continues to focus on securing permits and building infrastructure for future deep‑sea nodule production. Its U.S. subsidiary’s consolidated application for an exploration license and commercial recovery permit under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act has been found in full compliance and has entered the certification review stage. After quarter‑end, TMC signed a development and production contract with Allseas for an offshore collection system targeting 3.0 million tonnes of wet nodules per year and agreed to settle $34.4 million of amounts owed to Allseas through issuance of 7,377,835 common shares.

Operating expenses increased as exploration and evaluation costs reached $13.3 million and general and administrative expenses rose to $20.7 million.
