Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased by 23.5% year-over-year, driven by the "Specialist isotopes and related services" segment (PET Labs). The "Nuclear fuels" segment generated no revenue.
• Significant Net Loss Increase: Net loss attributable to shareholders increased by 347% to $83.5 million. This was primarily driven by a $64.7 million non-cash expense related to the change in fair value of convertible notes payable, compared to $2.5 million in the prior year.
• Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses rose to $20.8 million from $14.0 million. Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $5.1 million, largely due to higher personnel costs and professional fees. R&D expenses increased by $1.7 million due to facility and depreciation costs.
• Balance Sheet Strength: Cash balances increased by $5.6 million during the period, bolstered by financing activities. Total assets grew to $135.9 million from $94.3 million, while total liabilities increased to $107.6 million from $43.2 million, primarily due to the revaluation of convertible notes.
