SOUTH BOSTON, Va., July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IperionX Limited (Nasdaq: IPX | ASX: IPX) is pleased to present its quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2026. Highlights during and subsequent to the end of the quarter include: Operations – Titanium powder production Virginia operations continued on a 24/7 production schedule during the quarter, with HAMR™ systems in ramp-up and production focused on supporting customer qualification, engineered product programs and direct powder requirements. HAMR™ powder production continues to consistently meet or exceed grade 5 quality parameters, and has confirmed the ability to successfully commercialize HAMR™ as a breakthrough process for the production of primary titanium metal. Production volumes during the quarter were temporarily reduced by furnace downtime and maintenance, with operations subsequently returning to regular ramp-up cadence. The downtime did not affect the availability of titanium powder for downstream production activities. IperionX continues to target a run-rate production capacity of approximately 200 tpa of titanium powder by the end of CY2026, subject to completion of ramp-up and operating optimization activities. Development of GenX™, IperionX’s next-generation continuous HAMR™ platform, continued during the quarter. Operations – Titanium product manufacturing The advanced 300-ton, six-axis SACMI powder metallurgy press successfully completed site acceptance and commissioning in May. The press triples IperionX’s existing powder metallurgy capacity and materially expands the range, complexity and repeatability of near-net-shape titanium components that can be manufactured in Virginia. The first of two additional HSPT™ sintering furnaces has arrived and is being installed and commissioned, with the second expected shortly; once operational, the furnaces will increase downstream capacity, throughput and production flexibility. Product manufacturing advanced across multiple customer programs, including successful production of titanium impeller prototypes for Carver Pump, automotive components for Ford, and continued development of titanium track pins and fasteners for the U.S. Army. Additive manufacturing and powder-to-product development continued across defense, aerospace, consumer electronics and industrial applications, including production of spherical powder samples for qualification, alongside preparation for titanium plate and large-format component programs. Customers and product development Independent testing by U.S. Army DEVCOM GVSC and Westmoreland Mechanical Testing & Research showed IperionX Ti-6Al-4V fasteners exceeded SAE Grade 8 steel torque-to-yield performance and achieved tensile properties above standard aerospace-grade titanium fastener benchmarks. These results validate HSPT™ and THRM™ at finished-product level and support IperionX’s lower-cost, higher-performance powder-to-product proposition. Subsequent to quarter end, IperionX received an additional U.S. Army GVSC purchase order to manufacture prototype titanium fasteners for the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle and associated trailer. The Carver Pump engagement progressed through the successful advancement and production of titanium impeller prototypes for customer evaluation. Development of titanium track pins continued, including design iteration, manufacturing-process development and component production for a demanding repeat-use component application. Customer activity during the quarter remained focused on prototype production, product development, qualification testing and low-rate initial production across defense, aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics and industrial markets. IperionX’s customer pipeline is increasingly demonstrating a repeatable progression from material validation to component-level testing, prototype purchase orders and funded manufacturing scale-up. This broadening portfolio provides multiple pathways to convert the Virginia platform into recurring, higher-value product revenue as qualification milestones are achieved. Atlas-Titan Critical Minerals Development The U.S. Government-supported Titan Definitive Feasibility Study was completed in June, delivering an after-tax NPV8 of US$813 million, after-tax IRR of 39.4%, after-tax payback of 3.6 years and forecast after-tax free cash flow of US$1.9 billion over an initial 14-year mine plan. IperionX entered into a US$3 million agreement in June to acquire critical mineral property and infrastructure assets adjacent to Titan, with the strategic Atlas acquisition completed subsequent to quarter end on July 1, 2026. Atlas adds approximately 70 acres of at-surface critical-mineral stockpiles, approximately 180 acres of pre-stripped Lower McNairy mineralization and established power, water, natural gas and heavy-haul rail infrastructure. IperionX is advancing resource definition, metallurgy, commercial qualification and an integrated Atlas-Titan economic assessment, targeted by the end of 2026 to quantify potential capital and schedule benefits. U.S. Department of War (DoW) programs The U.S. Government-supported 1,400 tpa expansion pathway continued to progress under the fully obligated US$47.1 million IBAS award, alongside the earlier US$12.7 million DPA Title III award. Strong U.S. Government support also includes approximately 290 metric tons of titanium scrap transferred at no cost and the SBIR Phase III IDIQ contracting pathway of up to US$99 million. Corporate and liquidity IperionX ended the quarter with US$35.2 million in cash. The quarter included continued investment in Virginia production ramp, product development and GenX™ R&D. On July 7, 2026, IperionX priced an underwritten U.S. public offering of 2,275,000 ADSs at US$21.98 per ADS for gross proceeds of approximately US$50 million. In addition to quarter-end cash, IperionX had US$37.1 million of remaining obligated reimbursable U.S. Government funding at June 30, 2026, including US$2.9 million of eligible U.S. Government program expenditure already incurred but not yet reimbursed. A US$2.4 million reimbursement under the DPA Title III program, which was previously forecast to be received in the June quarter, was received immediately subsequent to the quarter’s end. As a result, IperionX’s pro-forma cash upon receipt of funds under the U.S. public offering (net of costs) and the DPA Title III program reimbursement is ~US$84 million. Throughout March and April 2026, directors and officers acquired IperionX securities for aggregate consideration of approximately US$4.3 million. In July, directors further increased ownership through on-market purchases of IperionX securities for aggregate consideration of approximately US$1.9 million.

After more than a decade of development, pilot operations, customer validation and U.S. Government-supported scale-up, IperionX is now operating at industrial scale in Virginia. Our proprietary HAMR™ and HSPT™ technologies are operational, producing high-quality titanium from 100% recycled feedstock and enabling a materially more efficient pathway to titanium powders and titanium products than legacy Kroll-based supply chains. This transition is the result of sustained technical execution: over 10 years of R&D, multi-year pilot operations, construction and commissioning of the Virginia Titanium Manufacturing Campus, and more than US$75 million of U.S. Government support across titanium technology development, domestic manufacturing scale-up and critical minerals programs. IperionX is now positioned at the intersection of two major national priorities: reshoring titanium manufacturing and rebuilding secure U.S. critical-materials supply chains for defense, aerospace and advanced industry. The strategic context has never been more important. Titanium is essential to defense, aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, additive manufacturing and advanced industrial applications, yet existing supply chains remain highly exposed to imported primary metal, energy-intensive legacy processes and offshore manufacturing capacity. IperionX is building a domestic alternative: a U.S.-based, scrap-to-part titanium platform using recycled and domestic feedstocks, proprietary powder production, advanced sintering and forging technologies, and scalable American manufacturing capacity. At our Virginia Titanium Manufacturing Campus, operations are now running on a 24/7 schedule and continuing to ramp. In March, HAMR™ powder production reached approximately 4.2 metric tons for the month, equivalent to approximately 50 tpa annualized. This remains an early-stage ramp rate, not steady-state capacity, but it provides a strong operating base as we progress toward targeted titanium powder capacity of approximately 200 tpa by the end of CY2026. Our immediate operating priorities are clear: increase titanium throughput, broaden product mix, improve production consistency and commission additional downstream capacity for customers. That downstream manufacturing capacity is key. Additional HSPT™ sintering furnaces, powder metallurgy presses and related equipment are being installed and commissioned through 2026. These systems are expected to unlock higher-volume titanium “powder-to-part” manufacturing, where IperionX expects the greatest customer value and margin potential to exist. They are also expected to remove current bottlenecks in finished-component production, accelerate customer qualification timelines and support the transition from prototype work and low-rate production toward larger, longer-duration supply programs. Customer engagement is advancing in parallel with the operational ramp. Our go-to-market strategy is initially focused on high-value engineered products, where our advantages in material yield, rapid prototype iteration, reduced processing steps and potential cost reduction are most pronounced. This has driven active programs across defense, aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics and industrial markets, with several programs progressing from technical engagement and prototyping toward qualification and low-rate production. We recognize that commercialization in these markets is a staged process. Qualification, customer testing, product iteration and production readiness must occur before larger contractual supply arrangements are established. As production capacity expands and additional HSPT™ furnaces and powder metallurgy systems come online, we expect to materially improve the pace at which customer programs can progress from initial engagement and prototype iteration through qualification, low-rate production and potential long-term supply arrangements across engineered products, mill products and titanium powders. U.S. Government support remains both a strategic validation and a financial advantage. IperionX has secured a significant titanium scrap inventory, including approximately 290 metric tons transferred by the U.S. Government at no cost, supporting feedstock security through scale-up. The Company is also supported by fully obligated US$47.1 million IBAS funding, the earlier US$12.7 million DPA Title III award, and an SBIR Phase III contracting pathway of up to US$99 million through project-specific task orders. These programs reflect the strategic importance of establishing a resilient, low-cost domestic titanium manufacturing capability for the U.S. defense industrial base. Our scale-up pathway remains well defined. We are targeting approximately 200 tpa of titanium powder capacity by the end of CY2026, progressing a U.S. Government-supported expansion pathway toward 1,400 tpa in 2027, and continuing to advance longer-term plans for substantially larger titanium manufacturing capacity. In parallel, GenX™, our next-generation continuous HAMR™ platform, is progressing as a potential step-change in titanium powder production, with the objective of increasing throughput, improving capital efficiency and further reducing operating costs. The Titan Critical Minerals Project is IperionX’s second strategic pillar. With a U.S. DoW-supported DFS nearing completion, Titan represents a potential domestic source of titanium minerals, zircon and critical rare earths, including dysprosium, terbium and yttrium — materials for which the United States has limited domestic supply. Subject to completion of the DFS, funding and development decisions, Titan has the potential to complement IperionX’s titanium metal platform and contribute to U.S. critical mineral independence. IperionX is moving from technology to production, and from production toward scale. The opportunity is significant, and the next steps are clear: ramp Virginia production, commission downstream capacity, convert customer programs into revenue, progress the 1,400 tpa expansion, complete the Titan DFS and continue building a fully domestic U.S. titanium and critical-materials platform. Disciplined execution remains the priority. Anastasios Arima CEO and Managing Director A link to the full release can be found here.

Consumer-electronics scrap processing commenced, validating circular supply chain from recycled titanium feedstock to manufactured forged titanium parts, as announced in collaboration with ELG Utica on July 3, 2024. New verticals opening across mass industrial titanium manufacturing, where material manufacturing waste is typically high — including the production of titanium fasteners. These efforts are opening up new sales channels across aerospace, commercial, military, and large-scale commercial markets. IperionX is building a pipeline of partnerships with global manufacturers seeking to transition to low-cost, sustainable, circular, and traceable titanium supply chains. U.S. Government backing to secure a low-cost domestic titanium supply chain IperionX received a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract allowing task order funding from U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) agencies up to a total of US$99 million. First task order awarded under the SBIR IDIQ contract to expedite the production and delivery of titanium parts for U.S. Army ground vehicle programs. The SBIR Phase III contract and task order are in addition to the US$47.1 million in DoD funding awarded to IperionX in the prior quarter to accelerate development of a secure, low-cost, mineral-to-metal titanium supply chain. IperionX continues to progress its long-term, tax-exempt bond financing through Virginia’s Halifax County Industrial Development Authority to underpin future titanium production expansions. Titanium production expansion plans fast-tracked Strong customer momentum and U.S. Government funding commitments driving accelerated titanium production scale-up. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on July 23, 2025, IperionX announced a private placement to raise approximately US$46 million. IperionX intends to use proceeds from the private placement to fast-track ordering of long-lead HAMR and HSPT modules, plus parallel expansion of forging capacity to meet 2026-2027 production schedules. Modular, low-capex design allows accelerated production growth phases through 2030. Titan Critical Minerals Project: DFS to advance a vital U.S. critical minerals supply chain Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) activities continued at the Titan Project, funded in part by the recent U.S. DoD award. Titan Project is the largest critical mineral sands project in the U.S. with a permitted multi-decade resource of titanium, zircon and rare earths. DFS remains on track for completion in Q2 2026, which will underpin a long-term future supply of titanium feedstock and heavy rare earths, including dysprosium and terbium - key elements for high-performance defense systems. Titan Project’s heavy rare earth resources, including dysprosium and terbium, complement light rare-earth assets recently backed by the DoD, positioning IperionX as a potential partner of choice for a complete domestic magnet supply chain. Strong financial position At June 30, 2025, IperionX closed the quarter with US$55 million in cash. Subsequently, on July 23, 2025, IperionX announced that it had received firm commitments for a private placement of 14 million new ordinary shares at an issue price of A$5.00 per share, to raise approximately US$46 million before costs (Placement), resulting in pro-forma cash of approximately US$100 million.
