Reducing Livent FVE to $38 on Lower Company-Specific Forecast for Realized Near-Term Lithium Prices

Analyst Note

| Seth Goldstein, CFA |

After updating our model to incorporate Livent's third-quarter results, we are reducing our fair value estimate to $38 per share from $40. Our narrow moat rating is unchanged. The fair value estimate reduction is due to our lower near-term outlook for the company. Livent shares were down roughly 6% in after-hours trading as the market reacted negatively to the news.

Company Profile LTHM

Business Description

Livent is a pure-play lithium producer that was formed when FMC spun off its lithium business in October 2018. Livent should benefit from increased lithium demand via higher electric vehicle adoption, as lithium is a key component of EV batteries. The company's low-cost lithium carbonate production comes from brine resources in Argentina. Livent also operates downstream lithium hydroxide conversion plants in the United States and China and has a 50% stake in a fully integrated Canadian lithium project.
