The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Li-Cycle Holdings Corp. (“Li-Cycle” or “the Company”) (NYSE: LICY) for violations of the securities laws.

The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors. Li-Cycle is the subject of a research report published by Blue Orca Capital on March 24, 2022. According to the report, the Company is “a near fatal combination of stock promotion, laughable governance, a broken business hemorrhaging cash, and highly questionable Enron-like accounting.” The report alleges that, “Li-Cycle recognizes revenues using an Enron-like mark-to-model accounting gimmick. Li-Cycle recognizes revenues months prior to the actual sales of its recycled black mass, based on its own provisional estimate of the future value of the product. This accounting treatment is plainly vulnerable to abuse, giving Li-Cycle discretion over its reported revenues. We suspect that under this framework, Li-Cycle marks up the value of its receivables on unsold products and runs the gains through its revenue line.” Based on this report, shares of Li-Cycle fell by 5.6% on the same day.
