| Segment information |
3. Segment information For management purposes, Lifezone is organized into business units based on the main types of activities and has three reportable operating segments, as follows: •Metals Extraction; •Intellectual Property (“IP”); and •Corporate The Metals Extraction segment of the business comprises Lifezone’s interest in KNL, including the Kabanga Nickel Project in Tanzania. The IP segment comprises patents held and managed by Lifezone Limited, a team of highly skilled engineers, scientists, and technicians based in Lifezone’s Simulus hydromet laboratory based in Perth, a strategic partnership with Sedibelo Resources Limited ("SRL") and Industrial Development Corporation ("IDC") regarding the development of the potential Kell-Sedibelo-Lifezone Refinery, and the agreement between Lifezone and Glencore to recycle PGM in the United States.
The Chief Executive Officer ensures that the corporate strategy determined by the board is being implemented. He manages Lifezone on a day-to-day basis, monitors and reports on the operating results of the business units for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment, and acts as Lifezone’s Chief Operating Decision Maker. Segment performance is evaluated based on cash flows and operating profit or loss before taxes.
Lifezone’s financing and treasury operations are centrally managed at the group level. These activities, along with other group-related functions, are reported under Corporate. Additionally, Corporate provides management services to the operating segments.
Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each requires different technological expertise, marketing approaches, and other resources. All inter-segment transfers are carried out at arm’s length, under terms comparable to transactions with third parties.
Inter-segment eliminations and transactions are identified separately, and the combined segments’ information is reconciled to the Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Inter-segment revenues are eliminated upon consolidation and reflected in the "Inter-segment eliminations" column. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025, respectively, are shown below.
