THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended
--- | ---
Dec. 31, 2024
THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The Company | The Company Westwater Resources, Inc., originally incorporated in 1977, is an energy technology company focused on developing battery-grade natural graphite materials since its acquisition of Alabama Graphite in 2018. Alabama Graphite holds mineral rights to explore and potentially mine the Coosa Graphite Deposit. During 2024, AGP, a wholly owned subsidiary of Westwater Resources, continued construction activities related to Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant.
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and include the accounts of Westwater Resources, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates included in the preparation of the financial statements are related to estimates of recoverable inventories; write-down of inventory; contingent liabilities; stock-based compensation and asset impairment, including estimates used to derive future cash flows or market value associated with those assets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company updated their accounting estimate of accrued uranium royalties. Based on the completion of the voluntary disclosure of unclaimed property, the Company has determined that the probability of these accrued uranium royalty liabilities becoming payable was remote and therefore wrote off the estimated liability and recognized a gain to other income of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the President & Chief Executive Officer. For further information related to segment reporting, see Note 13 to these consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Management considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Management monitors the soundness of the financial institution and believe the risk is negligible.
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment Facilities and Equipment Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and recorded at cost. The facilities and equipment are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the assets. During the periods that the Company’s facilities are not in production, depreciation of its facilities and equipment is suspended as the assets are not in service. Mineral Properties Mineral rights acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred, and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When management determines that a mineral right can be economically developed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the costs then incurred to develop such property will be capitalized. During the periods that the Company’s facilities are not in production, depletion of its mineral interests, permits, licenses and development properties is suspended as the assets are not in service. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any non-depleted costs will be charged to loss in that period. Other Property, Plant and Equipment Other property, plant and equipment consisted of corporate office equipment, furniture and fixtures and transportation equipment. Depreciation on other property is computed based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Gain or loss on disposal of such assets is recorded as other income or expense upon disposition of such assets.
Inventory | Inventory Inventory consists of raw material of natural flake graphite as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company values the natural flake graphite concentrate at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price of the product based on current and long-term graphite prices, less the estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. For sales of raw material inventory that will not be processed, the net realizable value is the contracted sales price. Write-downs of the natural flake graphite concentration to net realizable value are reported as a component of costs applicable to sales or as a component of other (expense) income if related to the sale of raw material inventory. The Company reviews and evaluates the net realizable value and obsolescence on an annual basis or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related net realizable amounts may be lower than cost. The Company determines the current portion of inventory, if any, based on the expected amounts to be processed within the next 12 months and utilizes the short-term metal price assumption in estimating net realizable value. Inventory not expected to be processed within the next 12 months, if any, is classified as non-current within other long-term assets and the Company utilizes the long-term metal price assumption in estimating net realizable value. Costs are removed from raw materials using an average cost basis. For further information related to inventory during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, see Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Government Grants | Accounting for Government Grants U.S. GAAP does not contain authoritative accounting standards for incentives and grants provided by governmental entities to a for-profit entity. Absent authoritative accounting standards, interpretative guidance issued and commonly applied by financial statement preparers allows for the selection of accounting policies amongst acceptable alternatives. On July 23, 2021, AGP entered into a land lease with the Lake Martin Area Industrial Development Authority. The lease provides AGP rights to approximately 70 acres to construct and operate its commercial graphite processing facility in Coosa County, Alabama. The lease has a term of 10-years, a nominal lease payment, and transfer of title to AGP at the end of the lease term. Further, the lease provides AGP the option to purchase the land for a nominal amount during the term of the lease. The lease is accounted for by the Company as a government grant; whereby the Company realized the fair value of the land of $1.4 million as an increase to “Property, plant, and equipment” with a corresponding obligation recorded in “Other long-term liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024. The $1.4 million recognized represents the fair value of the land at the time of lease inception in 2021. The land represents a non-depreciable asset on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The corresponding obligation recorded in “Other long-term liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet will be amortized to other income over the life of the Kellyton Graphite Plant once placed in service. Based on facts and circumstances outlined below, the Company determined it most appropriate to account for the land received from the local municipality as an in-substance government grant by analogy to International Accounting Standards 20 (“IAS 20”), Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. Under the provisions of IAS 20, government grants “are assistance by government in the form of transfers of resources to an entity in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity.” A government grant is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will meet the terms for receiving and realizing the benefit of the grant. IAS 20 does not define “reasonable assurance”, however, based on certain interpretations, it is analogous to “probable” as defined in FASB ASC 450-20-20 under U.S. GAAP, which is the definition the Company has applied to its determination of recognizing the land grant at inception of the government grant. Under IAS 20, government grants are recognized in earnings on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes costs for which the grant is intended to compensate (i.e. qualified expenses). Further, IAS 20 permits for the recognition in earnings either separately under a general heading such as other income, or as a reduction of the related expenses. The Company has elected to recognize government grant income separately within other income to present a clearer distinction in its financial statements between its operating income and the amount of net income resulting from the land grant.
Asset Impairment | Asset Impairment The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company considers events or changes in circumstances such as, but not limited to, significant negative impacts in the market price or demand of graphite or potential graphite products, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner to which the Company will use its long-lived asset (or asset group), adverse social or political developments, accumulation of costs over projected budget or accumulation of costs in excess of potential future cash flows of a long-lived asset (or asset group). Graphite Processing Facilities and Equipment Impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows or upon an estimate of fair value that may be received in an exchange transaction. Future cash flows are estimated based on expected graphite prices, production levels, and operating and capital costs over the estimated useful life of the project. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimate of future cash flows requires significant management judgement and is based on numerous assumptions. Actual future cash flows may be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of production, future changes in market price or demand of graphite, operating and capital costs, and availability and cost of capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Mineral Properties Impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows or upon an estimate of fair value that may be received in an exchange transaction. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, projected graphite prices, production levels, and operating and capital costs, based upon the projected remaining future graphite or vanadium production. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization that is not part of the measured, indicated or inferred resource base, are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting unit at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of graphite or vanadium that will be obtained after taking into account losses during processing and treatment. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimate of future cash flows requires significant management judgement and is based on numerous assumptions. Actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, future changes in market price or demand of graphite, production levels and operating costs of production and availability and cost of capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments U.S. GAAP defines “fair value” as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and establishes a fair-value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority): ● Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. ● Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. ● Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair-value measurement and unobservable. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. Periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in various U.S. operating accounts in excess of U.S. federally insured limits. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following tables set forth the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Consequently, such financial instruments are not included in the following tables. ​

​ Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements There were no assets or liabilities recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis by level as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Loss Per Share | Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. As the Company recorded a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, diluted loss per share is not presented as the effect on the basic loss per share would be anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 4,739,984 and 2,197,884, respectively, in potentially dilutive securities.
Product Development Expenses | Product Development Expenses Product development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were $1.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Product development costs for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, primarily relate to continued product development, product optimization costs, and continued sample production of battery-grade natural graphite products for evaluation by customers, and potential customers.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” (“ASU 2023-07”) which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment and contain other disclosure requirements. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. ​ In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” (“ASU 2016-13”) which is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. ASU 2016-13 changed how companies account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade receivables, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, companies are required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses and recognize an allowance against the related instruments. For available for sale debt securities, companies are required to recognize an allowance for credit losses rather than reducing the carrying value of the asset. This update results in earlier recognition of losses and impairments. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. ​ In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” (“ASU 2018-19”) which is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The adoption of ASU 2018-19 did not result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. ​ In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-03, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, SEC Staff Announcement at the March 24, 2022 EITF Meeting, and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280 – General Revision of Regulation S-X: Income or Loss Applicable to Common Stock.” These updates were immediately effective and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ​ In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 improves financial reporting by requiring companies to disclose additional information about certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. ​ In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, “Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concept Statements” (“ASU 2024-02”). ASU 2024-02 contains amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior Statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas. ASU 2024-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the potential impact of adopting this guidance and expects minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements. ​ In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” (“ASU 2023-09”) which is intended to enhance the transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments require that on an annual basis, entities disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amendments require that entities disclose additional information about income taxes paid as well as additional disclosures of pretax income and income tax expense, and remove the requirement to disclose certain items that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. This update will be effective beginning January 1, 2026, and the Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. ​ In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “'Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” (“ASU 2023-06”). The new guidance clarifies or improves disclosure and presentation requirements on a variety of topics in the codification. The amendments will align the requirements in the FASB Accounting Standard Codification with the SEC’s regulations. The amendments are effective prospectively on the date each individual amendment is effectively removed from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
