Pilbara Minerals has posted a 2023-24 underlying net profit of $318m, which is 86 per cent lower than previously; revenue fell by 69 per cent to $1.25bn. The company received an average realised price of $US1,176 per tonne for its spodumene concentrate, which is 74 per cent lower than the previous financial year. UBS is bearish about the outlook for lithium, forecasting that spodumene concentrate will average about $US770 a tonne over the next 12-18 months. Pilbara Minerals MD Dale Henderson says the company is well-placed to ride out the current downturn in the lithium price, contending that rivals with high-cost operations will be the most vulnerable.
