Neo reported a net income of $36.0 million, or $0.92 per share, which compared to a net loss of $60.1 million, or $1.54 per share, in 2020.\u00a0 Adjusted Net Income<sup>(1)<\/sup> totaled $55.0 million, or $1.42 per share, which compared to $6.2 million, or $0.16 per share, in 2020.\u00a0 Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)<\/sup> was $81.9 million, a 183.7% jump over Adjusted EBITDA of $28.9 million in the prior year.<\/p>\n<p>For the three months ended December 31, 2021, consolidated revenue was $153.4 million compared to $110.4 million for the same period in the prior year; an increase of $43.0 million or 39.0%.\u00a0 Neo reported a net income of $7.3 million, or $0.17 per share, which compared to $2.4 million, or $0.06 per share, in the same period of 2020.\u00a0 Adjusted Net Income<sup>(1)<\/sup> totaled $16.1 million, or $0.39 per share, which compared to $9.6 million, or $0.25 per share, in the corresponding period of the prior year.\u00a0 Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)<\/sup> was $19.7 million, a 59.7% jump over Adjusted EBITDA of $12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>As of December 31, 2021, Neo had cash and cash equivalents of $89.0 million plus restricted cash of $1.3 million, compared to $72.2 million plus $4.2 million as at December 31, 2020.\u00a0 In the year ended December 31, 2021, Neo received $38.0 million of proceeds from issuance of common shares from treasury and distributed $12.8 million in dividends to its shareholders.\u00a0 Neo also entered into two debt agreements for new borrowing capacity in order to raise total cash available to pursue growth opportunities and make investments in working capital.\u00a0 As at December 31, 2021, Neo had approximately $41.5 million available under its credit facilities with $6.5 million drawn, compared to $2.4 million drawn at December 31, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Neo team delivered an outstanding performance in 2021, despite a challenging global landscape,&#8221; said Constantine Karayannopoulos, CEO of Neo. &#8220;That landscape is even more challenging today with the recent developments in Europe. Our Estonian facility is the only commercial producer of rare earths in Europe and one of only two producers of aerospace-grade tantalum and niobium in the EU and it has not been impacted by the tragic events in Ukraine.\u00a0 We are working with our advisors to monitor developments closely and we are in close and frequent contact with Estonian government officials, who continue to encourage us to maintain \u2013 and expand \u2013 our operations there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A key business focus now is meeting the rapidly growing demand for magnetic rare earths in Europe, which are needed by electric vehicles and high-efficiency electric motors. We are partnering with industry and government leaders across Europe with an aim toward helping us establish production in Europe of sintered neo magnets to help meet this demand using rare earth feedstock from North America and elsewhere. Magnetic rare earths and global decarbonization go hand in glove. Neo is committed to helping Europe, North America, and other regions respond to rising consumer demand for these sustainable technologies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"divContent\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6><b>SELECTED FINANCIAL RESULTS<\/b><\/h6>\n<p>For the year ended and three months ended December 31, 2021, revenues of $539.3 million and $153.4 million were 55.5% and 39.0% higher, respectively, than the corresponding periods of 2020.\u00a0 All three segments experienced an increase in revenues as volumes rose due to the economic recovery since the initial impact of COVID-19 in 2020 despite being negatively impacted by the semiconductor chip shortage in the automotive sector and by continuing global supply chain logistics challenges. Selling prices for rare earth products (including Magnequench powders) rose significantly starting from the fourth quarter of 2020 through the fourth quarter of 2021.\u00a0 Rare earth prices remain relatively high compared to more recent historical periods driven primarily by demand for the magnetic elements which are critical in leading technologies such as the electrification of automobiles and other environmentally sustaining technologies.\u00a0 Neo has benefited from these generally higher prices from both a lead-lag perspective (lower cost inventory on hand) and more dollar value margin available generally with higher prices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"divContent\">\n<div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table style=\"border-style: solid; width: 624px; border-color:

Magnequench and C&amp;O, the prior-year for the Rare Metals segment was also impacted by COVID-19.\u00a0 Throughout the year ended December 31, 2021, the end markets of Rare Metals products exhibited some recovery.\u00a0 The three months ended December 31, 2021, were particularly strong as customers caught up on some historical orders and prices for certain rare metals increased in the quarter with Neo benefiting from having some lower-cost inventory on hand.\u00a0 This benefit offset the losses on other contracts where prices were set prior to the recent price increases causing some lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments for some Rare Metals products.<\/p>\n<p>The improvement in the Rare Metals business in the year ended December 31, 2021 was also attributed to progress made in several key strategic initiatives in the segment, including selling more products outside of the aerospace industry, expanding its customer base, and diversifying its total end-market exposure.\u00a0 Key progress continues to be made in expanding the capacity of key products (with minimal capital investment) and refocusing the sales pipeline and manufacturing capacity toward more profitable end products.\u00a0 Sales prices in a number of end markets have recovered and gallium-based products are exhibiting improved market demand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div
