Commentary
Li-Cycle stands to benefit from the increase in prices of Li, Ni and Co, through production of battery grade materials
The growing electrification demand is driving much of the increase of prices
Commodity prices are also dependent on battery composition as manufacturers may alter their choice of inputs to increase battery range and are not
necessarily indicative of battery grade pricing
Li-Cycle management uses more conservative pricing assumptions relative to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence estimates
