Financial Update
-
Revenue and cost of sales decreased by
$12.8 million and$5.8 million , respectively, during the three months endedMarch 31, 2026 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2025 , primarily due to the revenue recognized from the RoPower technology license agreement (“TLA”) completed during the first three months of 2025 as well as the work associated with the Fluor’s Front-End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) Phase 2 engineering services in support of the RoPower project, which was completed in late 2025, with no comparable activity in 2026.
-
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased
$3.7 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2026 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2025 , primarily as a result of$5.7 million higher costs associated with the Company’s increased activities to advance the technological readiness and design maturity of our NPM components, partially offset by$1.9 million in lower regulatory costs as we received SDA approval inMay 2025 .
-
General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) increased
$1.6 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2026 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2025 , primarily due to$1.4 million of higher compensation costs due to increased headcount and$1.1 million of higher organizational costs, partially offset by$1.1 million of lower accounting and legal fees now that the initial costs associated with becoming a large accelerated filer have passed.
-
Other expenses increased
$10.0 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2026 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2025 , primarily due to (a) the Company’s engineers and project personnel working on fewer commercial projects than in the prior year, resulting in the lower allocation to Cost of sales described above and (b) higher Other Compensation costs incurred as we have ramped up the resources supporting supply chain readiness and the delivery of future commercial projects.
-
Investment income increased
$5.6 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2026 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2025 , primarily as a result of the Company’s stronger cash position and higher investments in cash equivalents, short-term investments and longer-term investments.

Forward Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements (including without limitation statements containing words such as "will," "believes," "expects," “anticipates,” "plans" or other similar expressions). These forward-looking statements include statements relating to our strategic and operational plans, expectations (including regarding our market positioning, our progress toward deploying our technology, the RoPower plant, the market for nuclear energy and providing energy technology for communities around the world), future growth, and the outlook of our business.
Actual results may differ materially as a result of a number of factors, including, among other things, the following: our status as a holding company; our ability to enter into binding contracts with customers to deliver NPMs; competition from other nuclear reactor technologies; delays in the development and manufacturing of NPMs and related technology; the possibility that we may incur losses in the future and may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability; the cost of electricity generated from nuclear sources or our NPMs may not be cost competitive; the market for SMRs is not yet established and may not achieve growth as expected; our dependence on our relationships with ENTRA1, Fluor and other strategic investors and partners; risks related to the Partnership Milestones Agreement entered into by
Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in the Company's public periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the general economic conditions and other risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
