Star Metro - IBC Advanced Alloys Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended September 2025

FRANKLIN, IDAHO / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. ("IBC" or the "Company") (TSXV:IB)(OTCQB:IAALF) announces its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Sales at IBC's continuing operations (its Copper Alloys division) of $4.2 million were lower YOY, largely due to weaker market demand for copper products and market uncertainty related to U.S. tariff and trade policies. The operating loss of $67,000 was an improvement over the operating loss of $226,000 in the prior-year period as the Company trimmed its overhead following closure of the Engineered Materials division. Continuing operations adjusted EBITDA of $51,000 was similarly improved over Adjusted EBITDA of $14,000 in the comparative quarter. Gross profit declined by 7.8% YOY in the quarter as fixed operating costs were spread over a smaller volume of production. However, gross margin improved by 1%.

Consolidated loss in the quarter of $702,000 narrowed from a loss of $1.2 million in the comparative period. The quarter's loss was largely due to (1) ongoing closing costs at the company's Engineered Materials division, which was shuttered in 2024, (2) lower sales at the Copper Division, and (3) interest costs.

"The relatively soft market demand for copper products that we have seen this year continued in the third calendar quarter of 2025, but we are starting to see signs of demand recovery," said Mark A. Smith, CEO and Executive Chairman of IBC. "The Company is also continuing to explore expanding into sales of aluminum-scandium alloys, which we successfully began producing in October from aluminum-scandium master alloy provided by NioCorp Developments."
