  source text: Net sales for the first quarter of 2024 were $137 million, a decrease of 2% compared to $139 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decline primarily reflected a decrease in the weighted-average realized price for volume derived from short-term agreements and spot sales ("non-LTA") and a shift in the mix of our business from volume derived from our take-or-pay agreements that had initial terms of three-to-five years ("LTA") to non-LTA volume. These factors were offset by a 43% increase in sales volume in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $31 million, or $0.12 per share.
