Sigma Lithium (NASDAQ:SGML) reported strong financial performance for 2025, posting $31 million in operating cash flow during the fourth quarter and achieving an operating cash margin of 47% as the company significantly lowered operating costs. The lithium producer also used a substantial portion of this cash to reduce its liabilities, finishing 2025 with total debt of $141 million after cutting trade finance borrowings by 60% and lowering overall debt by 35% compared with the previous year.
The company recorded approximately $67 million in net sales revenue across the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. This performance was largely driven by the sale of around 650,000 tonnes of high-purity lithium fines and the resumption of shipments of its premium lithium oxide concentrate.
Sigma further strengthened its commercial position by securing two new offtake agreements with a combined value of $146 million starting in 2026. The contracts are expected to generate about $96 million in cash inflows during the second quarter and provide the company with greater flexibility in scheduling deliveries and managing working capital as it continues optimizing operations that have recently been brought back under direct internal management from external contractors.
