1. Principally included in "Selling, general and administrative" within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
2. Relates to certain costs included in "Advanced projects, start-up, development and other" within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations that do not qualify for capitalization incurred in connection with the
initial commissioning and starting up of our separations capability at Mountain Pass and our metal alloy and magnet-making capabilities at Fort Worth prior to the achievement of commercial production. These costs include payroll of
employees directly involved in such commissioning activities, training costs, costs of testing and commissioning the new circuits and processes, and other related costs. Given the nature and scale of the related costs and activities,
management does not view these as normal, recurring operating expenses, but rather as non-recurring investments to develop such capabilities. Therefore, we believe it is useful and necessary for investors to understand our core
operating performance in current and future periods by excluding the impact of these start-up costs.
3. The majority of the amounts are included in "Advanced projects, start-up, development and other" within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and pertain to legal, professional services, and other costs
associated with non-recurring transactions.
4. Amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and June 30, 2023, principally relate to demolition costs incurred in connection with demolishing and removing certain out-of-use older facilities and infrastructure from the
Mountain Pass site to accommodate future expansion in rare earth processing.
5. Tax impact of adjustments is calculated using an adjusted effective tax rate, which excludes the impact of discrete tax costs and benefits, to each adjustment. The adjusted effective tax rates were 29.8%, 23.8% and 31.3% for the three
months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and for the three months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
6. Reflects the impact of a release of a portion of our valuation allowance.
