Revenue decreased 6% year-over-year, as a 12% increase in sales volumes was more than offset by a 16% decline in realized sales prices of REO in concentrate. The 12% increase in metric tons (“MTs”) sold was mainly due to the timing of shipments, which fluctuate quarter-to-quarter but approximate production volumes over time. The 16% decline in realized prices was in part due to the impact of foreign exchange rates. The 2% increase in production volumes compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was due to a modest improvement in the efficiency of our processing operations, including higher ore feed rates, partially offset by lower feed grade and mineral recoveries.
Adjusted EBITDA declined 23% year-over-year, driven by lower per-unit profitability, higher personnel and other general and administrative costs, as well as advanced projects and development costs. The per-unit profitability decline was driven primarily by the lower realized prices discussed above, as well as higher production costs. Production cost of $1,928 per MT of REO increased 26% year-over-year mainly due to the timing of maintenance, higher payroll costs, including an increase in employee headcount to support the expansion of Stage II operations and higher fuel costs. Also impacting the comparison was higher energy costs incurred following the restart of our combined heat and power (“CHP”) plant in January 2022. Excluding Stage II related costs, the increase in production cost per metric ton would have been slightly lower than the reported year-over-year growth rate, with the timing of maintenance spend and fuel costs as the primary contributors.
Adjusted Net Income increased 39% to $78.8 million, primarily due to a tax benefit derived from the timing of capital assets in service and the related impact on certain other deductions, as well as increased interest and investment income earned on an increase in short-term investments, partially offset by the lower Adjusted EBITDA.
Net income was $67.0 million compared to $49.0 million in the prior year period. The improvement was mainly due to the increase in Adjusted Net Income partially offset by higher start-up costs.
Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) increased 38% year-over-year to $0.36 and Adjusted Diluted EPS increased 40% to $0.42 due to the increase in Adjusted Net Income and net income discussed above, respectively.

Effective September 30, 2022, the Company no longer excludes depletion expense for purposes of calculating and presenting Adjusted Net Income, and has retroactively revised the prior year period for comparability purposes. |
Revenue increased 59% year-over-year, driven by increases in the realized sales prices of REO in concentrate as well as greater volumes sold. The 55% increase in realized sales price was primarily due to higher demand for rare earth products driving increased market prices. The 2% increase in MTs sold was mainly driven by the timing of shipments, which vary period to period, but generally track our REO production volumes over time. Production volumes were relatively unchanged in 2022 compared to 2021 as improvements in the efficiency of our processing operations, including higher ore feed rates, were offset by lower average feed grade and mineral recoveries.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 77% year-over-year, driven by higher per-unit profitability and higher sales volumes, partially offset by increased costs required to further build out our corporate infrastructure and support our separations business and magnetics initiatives. Per-unit profitability improvements were driven primarily by higher realized prices partially offset by higher production costs per MT of REO. Production cost of $1,728 per MT of REO increased 16% year-over-year, mainly driven by higher materials, supplies and payroll costs, including an increase in employee headcount to support the expansion of operations, as well as higher energy costs incurred following the restart of our CHP plant in January 2022. Excluding Stage II related costs, production costs per MT would have increased less than the rate of inflation, due to efficiencies in production somewhat offsetting higher expenses.
Adjusted Net Income was $320.6 million compared to $154.2 million in the prior year. The improvement was mainly due to the significantly higher Adjusted EBITDA discussed above, higher increased interest and investment income earned on an increase in short-term investments, and a decrease in depletion expense as a result of a revision to extend our estimate of the remaining useful life of the mineral rights at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2021. These improvements were partially offset by higher income tax expense mainly due to higher pre-tax income.
Net income was $289.0 million compared to $135.0 million in the prior year, driven primarily by the change in Adjusted Net Income discussed above. Net income in 2022 was also impacted by higher stock-based compensation expense and higher start-up costs associated with the restart of our CHP plant, our Stage II optimization project and our Stage III initiatives, as well as continued investment in research and development activities, particularly with regards to magnetics.
Diluted EPS increased 108% year-over-year to $1.52 and Adjusted Diluted EPS increased 102% to $1.68, both mainly due to the increase in net income and Adjusted Net Income discussed above.
