以下是美國銻業公司（UAMY）2023年第四季度業績電話會議記錄摘要：
Financial Performance:
財務業績：
United States Antimony Corporation sales decreased by 21% in 2023, with gross profit also declining in comparison to the previous year.
The sales decrease resulted from lower antimony market prices and lower sales volumes, particularly in the quantity of zeolite sold.
The company's Mexico operations contributed less than 15% to antimony sales, with processing costs rising in 2023.
Cash and cash equivalents along with restricted cash declined by $7.2 million during 2023 due to Mexico's operations' cash drain and liability payments.
美國銻公司的銷售額在2023年下降了21％，毛利與上年相比也有所下降。
銷售額下降是由於銻市場價格下降和銷售量下降所致，尤其是沸石的銷售量。
該公司在墨西哥的業務對銻銷售的貢獻不到15％，加工成本在2023年上升。
由於墨西哥業務的現金流失和負債支付，現金和現金等價物以及限制性現金在2023年減少了720萬美元。
Business Progress:
業務進展：
An overhaul of the company's senior management team included new appointments to the board of directors, a new General Manager, and a new plant superintendent at Bear River.
As of March 11, 2024, Mexico operations have ceased to reduce cash drain and stimulate positive cash flow.
Approximately $1.3 million has been invested to enhance machinery, equipment, and the Bear River Zeolite plant in Idaho.
The company plans to expand production volumes at Thompson Falls and Bear River and grow externally via acquisitions and new leases.
Pricing for zeolite products increased by 10% at the end of 2023, indicating a strategic response to higher demand.
The company is now the sole North American supplier of antimony trisulfide to the U.S. Department of Defense and is exploring new sources and patented property to bypass lengthy federal permitting procedures.
Strategic partnerships with Ambri and Perpetua are in progress, with growth in institutional investor interest.
Mergers, acquisitions, and new leases continue to be part of the company's long-term growth strategy.
公司高級管理團隊的改革包括對董事會的新任命、新的總經理和熊河的新工廠主管。
截至2024年3月11日，墨西哥的業務已停止減少現金流失並刺激正現金流。
已投資約130萬美元來改善愛達荷州的機械、設備和Bear River沸石工廠。
該公司計劃擴大湯普森瀑布和熊河的產量，並通過收購和新的租賃向外部增長。
2023年底，沸石產品的定價上漲了10％，這表明了對更高需求的戰略回應。
該公司現在是美國國防部在北美唯一的三硫化銻供應商，並且正在探索新的來源和專利財產，以繞過漫長的聯邦許可程序。
與Ambri和Perpetua的戰略合作伙伴關係正在進行中，機構投資者的興趣有所增加。
合併、收購和新租賃仍然是公司長期增長戰略的一部分。
