Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks 5E Advanced Materials, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Sep 17, 2026: 78 risks under these headings, as written.4
- There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We will need to raise substantial additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, to continue as a going concern and advance the Project.
- We will need to obtain substantial additional financing to continue as a going concern, advance FEL-3 and related technical work, and develop the proposed commercial-scale facility.
- We have incurred significant net operating losses since our inception and anticipate that we will incur continued losses for the foreseeable future.
- Our future performance is difficult to evaluate because we have no or only a limited operating history in the minerals industry and no revenue from our proposed extraction operations at our properties, which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.
- Our inability to continue to operate the SSF, complete FEL-3 and further technical and economic studies, or successfully validate and optimize our wellfield design may have a material adverse impact on the Project.
- We have invested and, subject to availability of adequate capital, plan to continue to invest significant amounts of capital in the Project.
- We have a limited history of mineral production, and we may not be able to successfully achieve our business strategies, including our downstream processing ambitions.
- We may be unable to develop, protect, obtain or acquire intellectual property required to implement our business strategy successfully.
- Third parties may claim that we infringe on their proprietary intellectual property rights, and resulting litigation may be costly and could prevent or delay our development activities.
- All of our business activities are now in the development-stage, but there can be no assurance that our development efforts will result in commercial development.
- We are a development-stage company and our estimates of mineral resources and reserves remain inherently uncertain and subject to significant change, and the actual volume and grade of material actually recovered may differ materially from current estimates.
- Estimates relating to the development of the Project, the PFS, the updated technical report summary and the mine plan are uncertain and we may incur higher costs and lower economic returns than estimated.
The other 66 risks
- Our growth depends upon demand for borates, lithium, calcium chloride, gypsum and related products in the markets we seek to serve, and such demand may not develop as we expect.
- Our long-term success will depend on our ability to convert customer qualification and non-binding commercial arrangements into definitive, bankable offtake agreements and to deliver product under those agreements.
- If the estimates and assumptions we use to determine market demand, market size and pricing are inaccurate, our future growth rate and Project economics may not be accurate or may be adversely affected.
- We currently depend on a single mining project.
- Our long-term success will depend ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and to develop positive cash flow from our proposed operating activities.
- The cost and availability of electricity, natural gas and other energy resources are subject to volatile market conditions and infrastructure constraints.
- Inadequate infrastructure may constrain our future mining operations, including at the Project.
- Uncertain global economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, including the pricing of our products.
- Our business could be affected by macroeconomic risks.
- Government efforts to combat inflation, along with other interest rate pressures, may lead to increased financing costs and Project completion costs.
- We are subject to anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as well as export control laws, customs laws, sanctions laws and other laws governing our operations. If we fail to comply with these laws, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, other remedial measures and legal expenses, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- Title to mineral properties and related water rights is a complex process and we may suffer a material adverse effect in the event the Project property or other properties that we may acquire are determined to have title deficiencies.
- Challenges to our mining claims could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
- Restrictions on our ability to obtain, recycle and dispose of water may impact our ability to execute our development plans and proposed operations.
- The development, construction and proposed operation of our properties and projects is subject to various environmental, operational and land-use regulations that could adversely affect our ability to grow.
- The mining industry is historically a cyclical industry and market fluctuations in the prices of borates and other minerals could adversely affect our business.
- Fluctuations in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies may adversely affect our business.
- We face risks relating to mining, exploration, development and mine construction on our properties.
- Mineral exploration and development, such as our proposed operations, are subject to extraordinary risks.
- Our proposed facilities or operations could be adversely affected by natural or human causes outside of our control, such as natural disasters, wars or health epidemics or pandemics.
- A shortage of skilled technicians and engineers may further increase our operating costs, which may materially adversely affect our results of operations.
- Changes in U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs, could materially increase the cost of constructing or operating the Project.
- A shortage of equipment or disruption in our supply chain could adversely affect our ability to develop, construct or operate our business.
- Disruptions in production at our proposed facilities may have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.
- Failure by our vendors or our component or raw material suppliers to use legal or ethical business practices and comply with applicable laws and regulations may adversely affect our proposed business.
- Competition with and new production of borates and other minerals from current or new competitors in the market could adversely affect our proposed business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Industry consolidation may result in increased competition, which could have a material adverse effect on our proposed business.
- We are subject to significant environmental and government regulations and compliance with such regulations requires significant expenditures.
- We may face increased costs and be subject to liability resulting from the generation and disposal of certain wastes, including hazardous wastes, in the course of the Project’s development and/or other future operations.
- Land reclamation requirements may be burdensome on our financial position.
- The physical consequences of climate change could have a material adverse effect on our properties and proposed business activities.
- New or evolving sustainability and climate-related disclosure obligations and expectations could result in additional costs of compliance, restrictions on our access to capital, and increased litigation or reputational risk.
- We are required to obtain, maintain, amend and renew governmental permits in order to conduct development and mining operations, a process that is often costly and time-consuming.
- Lawsuits or arbitration proceedings may be commenced against us and an adverse ruling could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- We are vulnerable to the risks associated with operating in a single geographic region and concentrating our capital investment in the State of California increases our exposure to that risk.
- The operation or development of our facilities could be adversely affected by local communities and/or other stakeholders.
- We currently plan to continue to invest significant amounts of capital in a variety of exploration activities, which involve many uncertainties and risks that could prevent us from realizing profits or may result in the total or partial loss of our investment.
- Our future success depends on the continuing efforts of our management and key employees and our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel.
- We will need to increase the size and capabilities of our organization and we may be unable to manage our growth effectively.
- Our directors and officers may in the future be in a position of a conflict of interest.
- Compliance with ever-evolving federal and state laws and other requirements relating to the processing of information about individuals necessitates significant expenditure and resources, and any failure by us or our vendors to comply may result in significant liability, negative publicity, and/or an erosion of trust, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
- We could be subject to information technology system failures, network disruptions, and breaches in data security – including as a result of artificial intelligence –which could negatively affect our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
- Our largest stockholders hold a significant percentage of our voting power and may be able to exert significant influence or control over the direction of our business.
- Exercise of our outstanding warrants or issuance of additional securities will dilute the ownership interest of our existing stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our Common Stock.
- The market price and trading volume of our Common Stock may be volatile and may be affected by economic conditions beyond our control.
- We incur increased costs as a result of operating as a U.S. listed public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.
- An active trading market for our Common Stock may not be sustained and the trading price for our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly.
- Because we do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain on our Common Stock.
- If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding our stock, the market price and trading volume of our Common Stock could decline.
- We are an “emerging growth company” and “smaller reporting company” and are able to avail ourselves of reduced disclosure requirements, which may make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.
- If we experience any material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls in the future, we may not be able to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our Common Stock.
- Our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.
- Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions that could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
- Raising additional capital could adversely affect the voting power or value of our Common Stock and result in substantial dilution.
- We have in the past and may again in the future receive a notice of the failure to satisfy a continued listing rule from Nasdaq.
- Sales of our Common Stock could reduce its market price.
- We are a holding company and, as such, we depend on our subsidiaries to generate cash to fund our operations and expenses.
- Our Bylaws designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents.
- Risks Relating to the Pending Acquisition
- The pending Acquisition and additional businesses or assets we may acquire, joint ventures we may form or investments in other companies we may make in the future may be unsuccessful and may harm our operating results and prospects.
- The Acquisition is subject to closing conditions and may not be completed, and the Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms.
- The consideration payable under the Asset Purchase Agreement is fixed and will not be adjusted based on our performance.
- The Acquisition will involve substantial costs.
- Our stockholders may not realize a benefit from the Acquisition commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the Acquisition.
- SVM is currently not a U.S. public reporting company and the obligations associated with integrating the operations related to the SVM Assets into a public company may require significant resources and management attention.
- We anticipate our indebtedness will increase upon completion of the Acquisition and may have the effect of heightening other risks we now face.
- The SVM Assets are being acquired on an “as is, where is” basis in a sale under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, and we will have limited or no post-closing recourse against SVM.
Legal proceedings
Except as disclosed in Note 14-Commitments and Contingencies in the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report, as of the date of this filing, we are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings, nor are we aware of any material civil proceeding or government authority contemplating any legal proceeding, and to our knowledge, no such proceedings by or against us have been threatened. We anticipate that we and our subsidiaries may from time to time become subject to various claims, legal proceedings, governmental inspections, audits, or investigations arising in the ordinary course of business. It is not feasible to predict the outcome of any such proceedings, and we cannot assure you that their ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
