Detailed information regarding factors that may cause actual results to differ materially has been and will be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, including the Company’s Form 10 - K that the Company filed with the SEC o n March 31, 2025 and the Company’s latest Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q filed with the SEC. These statements are only predictio ns and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors. Any forward - looking statements contained in this Presentation speak only as of their date, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward - looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring afte r their date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Management’s Estimates Certain information contained in this Presentation, including the Company’s estimates of the total addressable market and gro wth forecasts, relate to or is based on a number of internal and third - party estimates and resources, including, without limitation , third party reports and the experience of the Company’s management team across the industries. While the Company believes its assumptions and the data underlying its estimates are r eas onable, these assumptions and estimates may not be correct and the conditions supporting such assumptions or estimates may ch ang e at any time, thereby reducing the predictive accuracy of these underlying factors. In addition, the novelty of the markets for the Company’s products may make the Company ’s assumptions and estimates more uncertain. As a result, the Company’s estimates of the total addressable market and growth for eca sts for its products are subject to significant uncertainty and may prove to be incorrect. If third - party or internally generated data prove to be inaccurate or the Company mak es errors in its assumptions based on that data, the total addressable market for the Company’s products may be smaller than it has estimated and its future growth opportunities and sales growth may be impaired, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial conditio n a nd results of operations. You should conduct your own investigation and analysis of the Company, its business, prospects, res ult s of operations and financial condition. In furnishing this information, the Company and its affiliates, representatives and advisors do not undertake any obligation to provide you with ac cess to any additional information (including forward - looking information and any projections contained herein) or to update or correct the information.

 

 

3 © 2026 USA Rare Earth. All rights reserved. DISCLAIMER (CONTINUED) Use of Projections; Financial, Capacity and Production Targets; Non - GAAP Financial Measures Certain information and conclusions set forth in this Presentation are based on projections. Actual results may differ materi all y from those indicated in the forward - looking statements because the realization of those results is subject to many uncertainti es, including economic conditions, the impact on the Company’s business of the regulatory environment and other factors, some of which are described more fully in the Company’s m ost recent Annual Report on Form 10 - K and other filings with the SEC. Investors should be aware that projections are subject to man y risks and uncertainties and may be materially different from actual results. Each investor must conduct and rely on its own evaluation, including of the associated risks, in making an investment decision This Presentation contains projected financial, capacity and production information with respect to the Company, including, w ith out limitation, the Company’s projected revenue, EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, capacity and production for future years. Such proje cte d financial, capacity and production information constitutes forward - looking statements and is for illustrative purposes only, and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. In particular, the Company's 2030 targets reflect management's estimates and assume REE prices of $125/kg for NdPr , $900/kg for DyO , $3,500/kg for TbO , $73/kg for HREE basket, and $106/kg for unit Mining & Processing COGS. The assumptions and estimates underlying the Company’s pr ojected financial information are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond th e Company’s control, and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to d iff er materially from those contained in the prospective financial, capacity and production information. Actual results may diff er materially from the results contemplated by the projected financial, capacity and production information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Pre sentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be ach iev ed. Further, these financial, capacity and production measures have not been independently verified by the Company or any third - party and should be considered estimates by recipients of this Presentation. As a result, recipients of this Presentation are heavily cautioned not to place undue reliance on the C om pany’s estimates of the target financial, capacity or production measures. The Company’s independent auditor has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the project ion s for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, did not express an opinion or provide any other f orm of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as EBITDA and Free Cash Fl ow, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. “Free Cash Flow” means, with respect to any period, the amount of EBITDA ge ner ated by the Company during such period, less capital expenditures, taxes, interest expenses, changes in working capital, plus no n - cash stock - based compensation made during such period. The Company believes these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Co mpany believes that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends. The Co mpany’s method of determining these non - GAAP measures may be different from other companies’ methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and the Company does not recommend the sole use of these non - GAAP measures to assess its financial performance. Management does not consider these non - GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non - GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Compa ny’ s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by ma nag ement about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures. The Company cannot reconcile its expected EBITDA or Free Cash Flow in cluded in this Presentation without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income and other reconciling me tri cs are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted as this time. No Offer or Solicitation This Presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company, no r s hall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to re gistration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Forward - looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materi ally from our expectations. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (1) the risk that the potential go ver nment investment and/or the proposed private placement will not occur on the terms or at the times expected, or at all; (2) risks related to the timing and achievement of the expected busin ess milestones of the potential government investment, including with respect to the development of the Round Top deposit, develo pm ent and expansion of processing and separation facilities, development and expansion of metal making and strip casting facilities, and development and expansion of the magn et manufacturing facility; (3) the risk that the potential government invest Industry and Market Data; Trademarks Certain information contained in the Presentation relates to or is based on studies, publications, statistics and surveys fro m t hird - party sources, and on the Company’s own internal estimates and research. In addition, all of the market data included in th is Presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and there can be no guarantee as to the accuracy or reliability of such assumptions. While the Company believes tha t the third - party sources and its internal research are reliable, such sources and research have not been verified by any indepe ndent source. Any data on past performance or modeling contained herein is not an indication as to future performance. This information involves many assumptions and limitations, a nd you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such industry and market data. The information contained in the third - party citati ons referenced in this Presentation is not incorporated by reference into this Presentation. This Presentation may include trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the propert y o f their respective owners. The inclusion of particular trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other compani es is not intended to, and does not, imply a relationship with the Company or the Company’s endorsement or sponsorship. The Company owns or has rights to various trademarks, service m ark s, trade names and copyrights in connection with the operation of its business which are also included in this Presentation.

APPENDIX January 2026

 

 

15 © 2026 USA Rare Earth. All rights reserved. RISK FACTORS All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to the business of USA Rare Earth, Inc. and its consolidated subs idi aries. This presentation contains certain information pertaining to the Company. Any transaction with the Company involves a high degree of risk. Any party to a transaction should inquire into, independentl y i nvestigate and consider such risks in its diligence investigation. Such risks include, without limitation and by way of example only: Risks Related to the PIPE • The benefits of the proposed PIPE may not be realized to the extent currently anticipated, or at all. The ability to recogniz e a ny such benefits may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the Company and its management to successfully execute on their business plan, maintain relationships and retain i ts management and key employees. • Securities issued in the proposed PIPE will be restricted securities and will not be registered upon issuance and therefore w ill be subject to securities law restrictions on transferability until such time as the resale of such securities is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of th e S ecurities Act is available. • The Company’s stockholders will experience significant dilution as a result of the proposed PIPE. The number of shares the Co mpa ny plans to sell in the proposed PIPE is significant in relation to the number of outstanding shares of its common stock. • The Company may become obligated to pay liquidated damages if it fails to file, obtain effectiveness and maintain effectivene ss of the resale registration statement in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the form of Registration Rights Agreement related to the proposed PIPE. • Stockholders will experience substantial dilution if outstanding warrants are exercised for shares common stock. • The Company will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the proposed transactions, which could be higher than cu rrently anticipated. Risks Related to a Potential Transaction and Investment by the U.S. Government • The government investment is currently contemplated pursuant to a non - binding letter of intent and remains subject to the negoti ation and execution of definitive documentation, satisfaction of conditions precedent, and final government approvals, and there can be no assurance that such documentation will be executed or that the in vestment will be consummated on the anticipated terms or at all. • While the Company may execute definitive documentation with the government and receive funding thereafter, there can be no as sur ances that the authorization and continued support for the transactions contemplated by the definitive documentation will not be modified, challenged or impaired in the future, which w oul d have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation. • Although the Company expects to issue 100% of the equity securities to be issued upon signing of definitive documentation, th e g overnment investment is expected to be funded in phases over time and is subject to the company achieving milestones, and there can be no assurance that such milestones will be achieved on the ex pec ted timeline or at all. • The government investment is subject to risks from changes in law, regulations, or their interpretations, as well as shifts i n f ederal administration and congressional priorities. • The government investment may require compliance with evolving national security “guardrails,” including restrictions on expa nsi on, collaboration, or technology transfer involving certain foreign entities. These requirements may be subject to broad or changing interpretation, and violations could result in suspension, clawback , or termination of funding. • Future funding will be required to meet milestones.

RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED) • Delays or failure in achieving required milestones could result in deferral, reduction, or loss of government funding, which cou ld adversely affect the company’s liquidity, capital resources, and project economics. • The Company’s business plan as described in this presentation requires significant additional capital, which may include equi ty and/or debt financing, beyond the potential government investment, and the Company’s ability to obtain such capital will depend on market conditions and its operating performance, and may result i n h igher costs of capital, increased leverage, or dilution to existing stockholders. • The government investment will be subject to comprehensive, ongoing reporting and disclosure obligations, including financial , o perational, cybersecurity, and supply chain information. Any failure to meet these requirements, whether due to administrative error or misunderstanding, could result in suspension, clawback , or termination of government funding. • The government investment may impose restrictions on the company’s operations, capital allocation, indebtedness, or strategic tr ansactions, which could limit management’s flexibility to respond to changing business or market conditions. • The timing, amount, and form of government funding may differ from current expectations due to administrative, regulatory, or po licy changes, which could require the company to seek alternative sources of financing. • Revenues, EBITDA, Free Cash Flows, capacity and production targets are illustrative and are based on assumptions regarding th e e xecution of the Company's operational plans, including production volumes, ramp timing, operating performance and pricing. In addition, target revenues, EBITDA and Free Cash Flows are based o n a ssumed pricing and costs used in the Company's business plan. There are significant risks associated with the assumptions used in developing such targets. Investors should make their own ass essment of the reasonableness and risks of the assumptions made by management. Operational execution, and the achievement of financial, capacity and production targets, are inherently uncertai n a nd actual results may differ materially. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its targets even if it completes its planned capital expenditures. • Because the government will keep 100% of the equity securities that it is receiving whether or not the government investment is funded in full or at all, if all or part of the government investment is not funded for any reason, or if the funding is received but subsequently clawed back, and the effective dilution of the company' s o ther equity holders will be increased materially. • Government approval, consent, or notification rights associated with the investment could delay or limit future financings, m erg ers, acquisitions, or asset dispositions. • Failure to achieve the targeted B2 credit profile could adversely affect the availability, terms, or continuation of governme nt financing and require the company to seek alternative sources of capital. • The financial, tax and accounting treatment of the government contemplated by the government transaction documents remains un cer tain and subject to change. • The government transaction documents contain affirmative and negative covenants that may restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to take actions management believes are important to our long - term strategy. • The conversion or exercise of warrants and other instruments into shares of common stock would dilute the ownership of the co mmo n stock sold pursuant to this offering, and the subsequent sale of a substantial number of such shares of common stock in the public market, or the perception of such sales, could cause our stoc k p rice to fall. • The Government’s anticipated equity position in the Company reduces the voting and other governance rights of stockholders an d m ay limit potential future transactions that may be beneficial to stockholders. • Construction, development, and expansion of the Company’s planned facilities and projects are subject to risks of delays, cos t o verruns, supply chain disruptions, labor availability constraints, permitting challenges, and other execution risks, which could increase required capital, delay milestone achievement, and adversely affe ct the Company’s financial condition and project economics.

RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED) • Given the scarcity of U.S. precedents for transactions such as those contemplated under the government investment and the gov ern ment becoming a significant stockholder of a company like the Company, the Company may experience other adverse consequences resulting from the potential announcement or completion of the in vestment. • The government may require rights to certain intellectual property or data developed with government funding, which could aff ect the Company’s ability to commercialize or protect proprietary technology and information. Risks Related to the Company’s Business and Industry • The Stillwater Facility is under development and is not yet completed, we have not commenced producing and selling neo magnet s, and we have no history in commercial operations and the lack of commercial operations limits the accuracy of any forward - looking forecasts, prospects or business outlook or plans. • We may not be able to generate positive cashflow from our expected future business operations.

Consequently, we depend on our ability to successfully access th e capital and financial markets. Any inability to access the capital or financial markets may limit our ability to fund our ongoing operations, execute our business plan or pursue investments that we may rely on for future growth.
