MIAMI, Oct. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Delivery of thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines scheduled for delivery in October are expected to expand annual capacity to more than 10,000 metric tons of magnets as EM&T scales its non-China feedstock position to meet strong customer demand
Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. (“EM&T” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EMAT), a U.S.-based critical materials and advanced manufacturing company, today raised its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to $10 million to $11 million, up from the previous range of $5 million to $8 million announced on September 10, 2026. The increase represents a 62% raise at the midpoint, delivered less than one month after the Company issued its initial outlook. EM&T also reaffirmed its fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $400 million to $460 million.
Guidance Highlights
Fiscal 2026 revenue guidance raised to 11 million (up from 8 million); representing a 62% increase at the midpoint ($10.5 million vs. prior $6.5 million)
- Low end of the fiscal 2026 range doubled, from $5 million to $10 million
- Fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of 460 million reaffirmed; the $430 million midpoint represents approximately 41 times the raised fiscal 2026 midpoint
- Thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines scheduled for delivery in October 2026, with installation to commence immediately following delivery in Pohang, Republic of Korea
- Annual magnet production capacity expected to exceed 10,000 metric tons, including approximately 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered magnets
- December 17, 2026 showcase of what EM&T believes is the largest commercial magnet facility in the world, ex-China
The raised guidance is driven by EM&T’s expanded ex-China rare earth feedstock position and the production capacity it unlocks, as well as improved rare earth pricing and continued strong commercial demand. The Company is actively scaling operations to meet this demand. In Pohang, thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines are scheduled for delivery in October 2026, with installation to commence immediately following delivery. Once operational, these machines are expected to expand annual rare earth magnet production capacity to more than 10,000 metric tons, including approximately 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered magnets.
“The raised guidance reflects strong customer demand, improved rare earth pricing, and our ability to source rare earth materials that bring our additional production capacity online this year,” said Frank Moon, Chief Executive Officer of EM&T. “Our fiscal 2027 outlook is unchanged, and the operational priorities behind it remain clear: commission additional equipment, bring expanded power and facility capacity online, secure rare earth materials for higher production volumes, complete additional customer qualifications and convert demand into expanded magnet shipments. We will keep the market updated as we continue to execute at warp speed. We look forward to showcasing what we believe is the largest commercial magnet facility in the world, ex-China, on December 17, 2026. We have already received attendance confirmations from industry leaders and executives, government officials, trade partners, investors, banking research teams and, of course, our entire board, which includes veterans of senior U.S. government leadership.”
“Non-China rare earth magnet supply remains a strategic priority of U.S. national security and industrial policy decisions,” said Andrew Knaggs, President of EM&T. “DFARS 252.225-7052 is expected to extend the mine-to-magnet restriction across the entire supply chain for neodymium-iron-boron magnets beginning January 1, 2027, and the July 2026 Executive Order substantially tightened the conditions for waivers and directed faster qualification of compliant sources. EM&T’s manufacturing platform, non-China sourced rare earth materials and production expansion are built to meet those needs at commercial scale, while continuing to serve our established, revenue-generating global customer base.”
