What were Standard Lithium's reported production volumes and how do they compare to the company's guidance for Q2 2025?

Answer – What the news release tells us (and what it doesn’t)

The Globe Newswire summary you provided tells us only that Standard Lithium released its Q2‑2025 financial and operating results on August 8 2025. It does not contain the actual production figures (e.g., kilograms of lithium‑carbonate or lithium‑hydroxide produced) nor does it spell out the company’s internal guidance for the quarter.

Because those specific numbers are not included in the excerpt you posted, we can’t give you a direct comparison between what was actually produced and what Standard Lithium had guided for Q2 2025 based on this particular news snippet.

What you’ll need to answer the question

  1. Locate the full press release (the “Standard Lithium Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results” release) – it will be posted on:

    • The company’s Investor Relations page (usually a PDF or HTML press release)
    • The S&P Capital IQ, Bloomberg, or Reuters databases under the ticker SLI
    • The official SEC (Form 8‑K) filing, if applicable

  2. Identify the production metrics the company reports for Q2 2025. Standard Lithium typically reports:

    • Lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) production (in tonnes or kilograms)
    • Production at the Arkansas “Lithium‑Extraction Pilot” (or other sites)

  3. Find the guidance the company gave for the quarter. This is usually presented in the “Outlook” or “Guidance” section of the press release, often expressed as a range (e.g., “expected production of 5,000–6,000 t LCE for Q2‑2025”).

  4. Compare the two – e.g., “The company produced X t of LCE, which is Y% (or Z t) below/above the lower/upper end of the guidance range.”

How to present the answer once you have the numbers

Metric Reported Q2 2025 Production Q2 2025 Guidance (range) Difference (absolute & % ) Interpretation
Lithium production (e.g., LCE) [Actual] [Lower‑End] – [Upper‑End] +/- X t (Y %) “Above/Below/Within” the guidance, indicating operational performance relative to expectations.
