on

Company continues to ramp operations and manufacture commercial-scale quantities of recycled metal products at its first lithium-ion battery recycling facility, and has contracted and begun receiving funds for two U.S. Department of Energy grants supporting over $135 million of projects

RENO, Nev., Feb. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) (NASDAQ: ABAT), an integrated critical battery materials company that is commercializing its first-of-kind technologies for both primary battery minerals manufacturing and secondary minerals lithium-ion battery recycling, announced its second quarter fiscal year (FY) 2024 financial results, for the period ending December 31, 2023.  

Highlights from Q2 FY2024 include: 

In August 2023, ABTC finalized the purchase of a move-in ready, unoccupied commercial-scale, industrial facility located in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center (TRIC), for the purpose of installing the first implementation of its integrated lithium-ion battery recycling technologies.In October 2023, ABTC completed the construction and installation of the initial phase of its battery recycling systems into the TRIC facility and began processing commercial-scale quantities of battery materials into commercial quantities of sellable recycled battery metal products.ABTC has continued to ramp the throughput of operations at this facility, and is currently adding a second shift of operations to further increase the rate of recycling operations.ABTC’s battery recycling operations have successfully completed audit, environmental reviews, and qualification processes with several premier global automotive, battery manufacturers, and other strategic original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and ABTC is currently in negotiations for quantities of feedstock that would represent several years’ worth of operations at the current TRIC facility.As a result, in parallel to the finalization and contracting of these prospective long-term feedstock agreements, ABTC has begun coordinating with its strategic partners on the site selection of its next commercial battery recycling facility.The prime agreement contract for ABTC’s U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grant to support its $115 million project for its commercial-scale lithium hydroxide refinery was issued with a project start date of September 1, 2023, and ABTC began receiving funds related to this award during this reported quarter.The prime agreement contract for ABTC’s U.S. DOE grant to support its $20 million project for its next-generation advanced battery recycling technologies was issued with a project start date of October 1, 2023, and ABTC began receiving funds related to this award during this reported quarter.Total government grant funding increased to $1.7 million for the fiscal year-to-date six months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $0.4 million during the same period of the prior year.Cash used for the investment into the acquisition of property, plant, equipment, mineral rights, and water rights for the fiscal year-to-date six months ended December 31, 2023 was $10.9 million, compared to $10.2 million used in the same period of the prior year.Cash used in operations for the fiscal year-to-date six months ended December 31, 2023 was $7.4 million, which is in line with the $7.4 million use of cash during the same period of the prior year.On August 29, 2023, ABTC entered into an agreement to allow it to issue a new series of senior secured convertible notes for up to $51 million. To date, $25 million of these notes have been issued.

Continued Acceleration Towards Fully-Ramped Battery Recycling Operations
ABTC continues to advance its battery recycling systems to fully-ramped operations at its first commercial-scale lithium-ion battery recycling facility. In its first months of operations, the company has successfully manufactured a large inventory of recycled battery metal products for sale to its domestic-U.S. strategic partners. This recycling facility has the capacity to process over 20,000 metric tonnes per year of battery feedstock materials when fully ramped, and several strategic partnerships have been announced recently for the sourcing of feed material and the offtake of recycled products, such as with BASF.

Concurrent Commercialization of Recycling and Primary Resource Operations
Progressing a new technology from initial design, to testing and bench scale validations, to integrated piloting, and through commercialization is an arduous process that often takes many years.  ABTC is concurrently commercializing its first-of-kind technologies for both its battery recycling operations and its battery grade lithium hydroxide refining from primary claystone with an accelerated, fast-to-market approach.  

ABTC’s in-house team is comprised of chemists, metallurgists, engineers, construction managers, and operators of first-of-kind, large-scale battery manufacturing facilities, and as such has significant experience managing large construction projects and bringing first-of-kind technologies to market.

In order to prioritize these dual commercialization efforts, ABTC recorded $5.3 million in research and development costs for the fiscal year-to-date six months ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $3.3 million when compared to the same period of the prior year.

Yon Raz-Fridman Joins Intrinsic Labs as Co-Founder and Partner

Published

April 30, 2026

By

Most AI companies are selling software. Intrinsic is deploying AI workers into the core operations of mid-market companies – and just brought in a serial tech entrepreneur to help the firm scale across the Heartland.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Intrinsic Labs today announced that Yon Raz-Fridman has joined the firm as a Co-Founder and Partner.

Raz-Fridman has spent nearly two decades building across software, hardware, and platform businesses. Early in his career, he served as Chief of Staff to the President of Keter Group, a $1 billion-plus global consumer products manufacturer. He went on to co-found Kano, the award-winning educational computing company, and later founded Supersocial, the immersive gaming studio acquired by Super League Enterprises in 2025. He is a member of the World Economic Forum’s Technology Convergence Council.

He joins Intrinsic at a moment when mid-market companies are moving from AI experimentation to deployment. Intrinsic works with operators in logistics, construction, insurance, manufacturing, and industrial markets to deploy AI workers into the workflows that run the business – increasing throughput, reducing manual work, and expanding capacity without adding headcount.

The firm has built its reputation on practical deployments tied to real operating metrics. In one engagement with a national real estate brokerage, Intrinsic’s AI Accounting Agents reached 97% invoice coding accuracy, automated 90% of the AP workflow, and fully removed FTEs from the review flow.

“Yon understands what it takes to build and scale in the real world,” said Jon Slemp, Managing Partner at Intrinsic Labs. “Our clients aren’t buying flashy agents, they’re buying outcomes and reliable labor. They need agentic systems that take work off their teams, perform reliably, and produce measurable gains in throughput and capacity. That’s what we build.”

As Co-Founder, Raz-Fridman will oversee Intrinsic’s expansion – designing the channel relationships, institutional partnerships, and market positioning that take the firm from a proven Ohio model to the defining AI workforce platform for America’s industrial middle market.

“The companies that win over the next decade will be the ones that figure out how to staff AI into their operations and manage it like a workforce. Intrinsic is doing that work now, inside real businesses, tied to real outputs. The Heartland is exactly the right place to prove this model, and Intrinsic is exactly the right team to do it.” — Yon Raz-Fridman
