Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Significant Net Loss: The company reported a net loss of $49.8 million compared to net income of $14.9 million in Q1 2025. This reversal was driven primarily by a $63.1 million equity loss from the AirJoule, LLC joint venture.
• Joint Venture Impairments: The equity loss in the joint venture was caused by non-cash impairment charges: $110.3 million for in-process R&D and $76.1 million for goodwill. AirJoule, LLC recorded a total net loss of $191.9 million for the quarter.
• Accounting Adjustment: Management identified an out-of-period adjustment regarding a $5.0 million capital contribution to the JV previously funded by GE Vernova. This amount was reclassified from an asset increase to an expense, increasing the equity loss by $5.0 million.
• Financing Activity: In January 2026, the company completed a public offering of 7.1 million shares, raising net proceeds of approximately $22.1 million. This significantly increased cash balances compared to the prior year.
• Operating Expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by $0.56 million to $3.34 million, largely due to higher stock-based compensation and professional fees. R&D expenses decreased by $0.17 million.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Commercialization Timeline: The company expects to begin commercial sales of its AirJoule Core and Prime systems in late 2026. Field testing and demonstrations are ongoing in Texas, Arizona, Dubai, and California.
• Strategic Partnerships: A new exclusive distribution agreement was signed with TenX for the Middle East region. The company also joined the Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers in Denmark.
• Liquidity and Capital Needs: As of March 31, 2026, the company held $31.1 million in cash. Management expects to fund operations and JV contributions for at least 12 months using existing resources. However, the company has a remaining commitment of $67.3 million in capital contributions to the AirJoule JV and may need to raise additional financing.
• Internal Control Weakness: The company disclosed a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting related to the accounting of complex, non-routine transactions (specifically the JV contribution error). Remediation efforts are underway.
• Risks: Key risks include the early-stage nature of the business, dependence on the GE Vernova joint venture, potential inability to raise additional capital, and the accuracy of assumptions used in goodwill impairment testing.
