Current report
We acquired Renergen in January 2026 and issued 14,270,000 Consideration Shares in connection with this acquisition. Renergen is South Africa’s leading onshore natural gas explorer and the first integrated producer of both liquid helium and LNG, both of which are produced from the natural gas reserve base that underpins Renergen’s Virginia Gas Project. The Virginia Gas Project includes (i) the liquefaction of natural gas into LNG, (ii) the separation of helium from natural gas, and (iii) the further liquefaction of helium into 99.999% pure liquid helium. This liquefaction and separation takes place at Renergen’s Virginia Gas Plant. Renergen’s principal asset is its 94.5% equity ownership in Tetra4, which holds an onshore petroleum production right and is the entity developing the Virginia Gas Project.

QLE entered into the Securities Exchange Agreement with a third party, effective as of March 29, 2026, which resulted in the deconsolidation of Skyline (Note 21). QLE retained approximately 8.6% percent of the outstanding Class A common and preferred shares of Skyline immediately following deconsolidation.
Current report
QLE’s mission is to address perceived gaps in the nuclear fuel cycle, promote safe nuclear power, and enhance the sustainability of the nuclear fuel cycle for advanced nuclear reactors and fusion systems, as well as the existing nuclear fleet. We believe that many advanced nuclear reactors, including SMRs, will rely on fuels with higher uranium enrichment levels, specifically HALEU, which we intend to produce. QLE also intends to produce high-isotopic purity fuel feedstock, such as Lithium-6, for fusion reactors, and by extension, Lithium-7 for Light Water Reactor control. These fuels may enable greater efficiency, compact reactor footprints, and lengthened operational cycles between refueling. Given the flexible nature of our enrichment technology and integrated value chain approach, QLE also intends to make available LEU+ to the existing fleet of nuclear reactors currently running on LEU, thus enabling existing reactors to lengthen the time between refueling, cut costs and boost power output.
Current report

Renergen Acquisition. On January 6, 2026, ASP Isotopes acquired all of the issued and outstanding Renergen ordinary shares from Renergen shareholders in exchange for shares of our common stock through the implementation of the Scheme in accordance with Sections 114 and 115 of the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 14,270,000 shares of our common stock. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Scheme, the Renergen ordinary shares, which were publicly traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE: REN) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:RLT), were delisted and Renergen became a wholly owned subsidiary of ASP Isotopes.
Current report
Renergen is South Africa’s leading onshore natural gas explorer and the first integrated producer of both liquid helium and LNG, both of which are produced from the large natural gas reserve base that underpins Renergen’s Virginia Gas Project. The Virginia Gas Project includes (i) the liquefaction of natural gas into LNG, (ii) the separation of helium from natural gas, and (iii) the further liquefaction of helium into 99.999% pure liquid helium. This liquefaction and separation takes place at Renergen’s Virginia Gas Plant in the Free State Province of South Africa. Based on the drilled and flow-tested wells, Renergen’s average helium concentration exceeds 3.0%, which is well above typical conventional natural gas reservoirs containing helium in small concentrations (less than 0.5%).
Current report
Renergen’s principal asset is its 94.5% equity ownership in Tetra4, which holds South Africa’s first and only onshore petroleum Production Right and is the entity developing the Virginia Gas Project. Phase 1 of the Virginia Gas Project has commenced commercial LNG operations. The Virginia Gas Project benefits from favorable supply and demand trends in both the LNG and liquid helium sectors. The LNG is and will continue to be sold domestically in South Africa into a market suffering energy and natural gas shortages, and we plan to sell helium directly to global customers at a time when the world is suffering helium supply shortages, which have been further exacerbated by the ongoing United States-Israel-Iran war. We believe that it was for these two reasons that the Virginia Gas Project was conditionally approved to be funded by the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (“DFC”) as part of the U.S.’s initiative to ensure new helium supply comes online as aerospace and the semiconductor industry increase helium requirements in the face of diminished supply, while increasing South Africa’s domestic energy supply.
Current report
Helium is a vital and irreplaceable element in many modern industries because it is both chemically and electrically inert and, when in liquid form, is the coldest substance known to man at 3 degrees Kelvin (minus 454.3 degrees Fahrenheit). For these reasons, it can be used in the manufacture of semiconductors, to purge laboratory or manufacturing environments, act as a fuel propellant for other cryogenic fuels, and/or provide deep cryogenic cooling. It is commonly used in space exploration and rocketry, high-level physics experiments (e.g., particle accelerators, quantum mechanics), medical science within MRI devices, fiber optic cable production, commercial diving gas, specialized welding, coolant for nuclear power stations and lifting balloons.
Current report
We believe that Renergen’s LNG supply can play an important role in reducing South Africa's relatively high carbon emissions by being the first, and currently the only, LNG supplier in the country. According to Energy Institute (2024), coal has a 69% share of national primary energy consumption, with gas only around 3.5%. As such, according to the World Bank, South Africa ranks as the fifth-worst carbon emissions country per kilogram per purchasing power parity of gross domestic product (“GDP”). This ranking is largely due to South Africa’s high reliance on low-grade coal to provide electricity, supplemented by Sasol’s use of coal to liquids technology. Sasol Limited is one of the country’s largest energy suppliers and operator of the natural gas pipeline supplying gas from Mozambique into Johannesburg. LNG is a significantly lower carbon-emitting fuel than either of coal (by 50%) and diesel (25%), upon combustion. Therefore, the introduction of Renergen’s LNG into South Africa’s energy supply mix, including the possible direct substitution of Renergen’s LNG for first diesel, and then potentially coal, may help reduce South Africa’s overall carbon emissions intensity as the country moves towards its net zero carbon emissions targets by 2050.

Current report
The following table shows total assets by segment and a reconciliation to the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):
Current report
We have recognized revenue of our radiopharmacies from the sale of nuclear medical doses for PET and SPECT scanning of $3.4 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. With the acquisition of Renergen in January 2026, we recognized revenue from the sale of LNG of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. We also recognized $0.2 million in collaboration revenue from TerraPower for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Current report
In addition, we have recognized the related cost of revenue of our radiopharmacies and Renergen for the same periods. The cost of revenue was $2.5 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in cost of revenue of $1.7 million was primarily due to the acquisitions of ECNP and Numed of $0.8 million and the acquisition of Renergen of $0.8 million.
Current report
Research and development expenses were $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The overall increase of $3.7 million was primarily due to the following:
Current report
an increase in facility and depreciation expenses of $0.7 million due to an increase in space dedicated to development, noncapitalized expenses and repairs and maintenance; and
Current report
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The overall increase of $14.5 million was primarily due to the following:
Current report
an increase in professional fees of $2.8 million primarily due to corporate development activity and the acquisition of Renergen in January 2026 and ECNP in October 2025;
Current report
an increase in facility and depreciation expenses of $2.1 million due to an increase in space dedicated to development, noncapitalized expenses and repairs and maintenance and the acquisition of Renergen in January 2026;
Current report
Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $1.8 million, which includes interest income of $3.0 million and income from a change in the fair value of our investments of $1.1 million, partially offset by an expense of $0.6 million due to change in fair value of the convertible notes payable, interest expense of $1.7 million and a foreign exchange transaction loss of $3.7 million.
Current report
Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.6 million, which includes a $1.0 million change in fair value of the convertible notes payable issued in March and June 2024 and a foreign exchange transaction loss of $0.1 million, partially offset by interest income of $0.5 million.

Current report
Large amounts of capital are required to support the growth in our business and operations in South Africa, including to maintain and progress toward full commercial operation of Phase 1 of the Virginia Gas Project, and for the construction and development of Phase 2 of our Virginia Gas Project, and long-term production and processing requires both significant capital expenditure and ongoing maintenance expenditure. Our revenues related to the sale of helium and LNG may vary significantly from period to period as a result of changes in volumes of production sold and commodity prices. Natural gas prices have historically been volatile. Lower commodity prices may not only decrease our revenues, but also potentially the amount of natural gas that we can produce economically. We plan to add reserves through drilling. Our ability to add reserves through drilling projects is dependent on many factors, including our ability to borrow or raise capital and procure materials, services and personnel. Phase 2 of the Virginia Gas Project requires a significant amount of capital and is currently estimated to cost approximately $1.16 billion (including borrowing costs and general corporate costs during construction) based on our latest cost estimate, which could change based on inaccurate assumptions and changing economic and operating conditions. We anticipate funding this amount through debt, such as the up to $500 million of senior secured debt provided by the DFC, which has been conditionally approved, pursuant to the delineated application review process of the DFC. Additionally, the Standard Bank of South Africa has conditionally approved an additional $250 million of senior secured debt funding for Phase 2, which is anticipated to be funded substantially concurrently with the aforementioned DFC funding. As a result, we may need substantial additional financing to support our continuing operations, ramp up production of Phase 1, and further the development of Phase 2 and commercialization of the Virginia Gas Project.

Renergen Acquisition and Financing
Previous report
On May 20, 2025, we entered into an agreement (the “Firm Intention Agreement”) with Renergen Limited, a public company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of South Africa focused on production of liquefied helium (LHe) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) (“Renergen”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Company will make an offer to acquire all of the issued ordinary shares of Renergen (“Renergen Ordinary Shares”), in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), as described below (the “Offer”). The Company intends to implement the Offer through the implementation of a scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) in accordance with Sections 114 and 115 of the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008 (the “Companies Act”). As a result of the implementation of the Scheme, Renergen will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. If the Scheme lapses or fails, solely due to one or more Scheme conditions not being fulfilled or, where applicable, not being waived, the Company, as part of the same Offer, will make an offer to acquire up to 100% of the Renergen Ordinary Shares from Renergen shareholders by way of general standby offer, which will not be subject to any condition as to acceptances (the “Standby Offer”).
Previous report
The implementation of the Scheme will result in the delisting of the Renergen Ordinary Shares from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the “JSE”), the Australian Securities Exchange and A2X. The Company Common Stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and will additionally be listed on the JSE by way of a secondary inward listing (the “Company Secondary Listing”).
Previous report
Offer Consideration. On the implementation date of the Scheme (the “closing date of the acquisition”), the holders of record of Renergen Ordinary Shares, who are registered as such in Renergen’s securities register as of the applicable record date for purposes of the listing requirements of the JSE (the “Scheme Record Date”), will exchange 100% of the issued Renergen Ordinary Shares as of the Scheme Record Date, excluding treasury shares, in exchange for consideration consisting of 0.09196 shares of Company Common Stock for each Renergen Ordinary Share (the “Scheme Consideration” and the shares of Company Common Stock to be issued as the Scheme Consideration or in the Standby Offer, the “Consideration Shares”). Any entitlements to fractions of shares of Company Common Stock that otherwise would be issuable pursuant to the Scheme will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares and a cash payment will be made for any fractional shares resulting from such rounding. In no event will the Company issue more than 14,270,000 Consideration Shares.
Previous report
As of November 14, 2025, the implementation of the Scheme and the issuance of the Consideration Shares is expected to result in current securityholders of Renergen and current securityholders of the Company owning approximately 11% and 89%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock immediately following the closing date of the acquisition.

We are a development stage advanced materials company dedicated to the development of technology and processes that, if successful, will allow for the enrichment of natural isotopes into higher concentration products, which could be used in several industries. Our proprietary technologies, the Aerodynamic Separation Process (“ASP technology”) and Quantum Enrichment technology (“QE technology”), are designed to enable the production of isotopes used in several industries. Our initial focus is on the production and commercialization of enriched Carbon-14 (“C-14”), Silicon-28 (“Si-28”) and Ytterbium-176 (“Yb-176”).
Current wording
We are an advanced materials company dedicated to the development of a differentiated isotope enrichment platform to strengthen global supply chain access to critical materials used in nuclear medicine, next-generation semiconductors, and nuclear energy. Our proprietary enrichment technologies, the Aerodynamic Separation Process (“ASP technology”) and QE technology, are designed to enable the production of isotopes for a range of industrial and advanced technology applications. Our initial focus is on the production and commercialization of enriched Carbon-14 (“C-14”), Silicon-28 (“Si-28”) and Ytterbium-176 (“Yb-176”).
Previous wording
We commenced commercial production of enriched isotopes at both of our ASP enrichment facilities located in Pretoria, South Africa during the first half of 2025. Our first ASP enrichment facility is designed to enrich light isotopes, such as C-14 and C-12. The second ASP enrichment facility, which is substantially larger than the first, should have the potential to enrich kilogram quantities of relatively heavier isotopes, including but not limited to Si-28. We anticipate shipping the first commercial batch of enriched C-12 during the fourth quarter of 2025. We anticipate shipping the first commercial batch of enriched Si-28 during the first quarter of 2026. We anticipate shipping the first commercial batch of enriched C-14 in the first half of 2026. We have also completed the commissioning phase and are producing commercial samples of highly enriched Yb-176 at our third enrichment facility, a QE technology facility, which is our first laser-based enrichment plant. The customer acceptance process for Yb-176 is relatively lengthy and we expect to ship commercial quantities of Yb-176 during the first half of 2026.
Current wording
We commenced commercial production of enriched isotopes at both of its ASP enrichment facilities located in Pretoria, South Africa during the first half of 2025. However, we have not generated any revenue from the sale of our enriched isotopes as of March 31, 2026. Our first ASP enrichment facility is designed to enrich light isotopes, such as C-14 and C-12. The second ASP enrichment facility, which is substantially larger than the first, should have the potential to enrich kilogram quantities of relatively heavier isotopes, including but not limited to Si-28. Depending on the timing and the quality of the feedstock received from our customer, we are targeting initial commercial shipments of enriched C-14 in the third quarter of 2026. We are targeting initial commercial shipments of enriched Si-28 around mid-year 2026. We have also completed the commissioning phase of our third enrichment facility, a QE technology facility, which is our first laser-based enrichment plant. We are targeting initial commercial shipments of Yb-176 in the third quarter of 2026.

In addition, we have started planning additional isotope enrichment plants both in South Africa and in other jurisdictions, including Iceland and the United States. We believe the C-14 we may produce using the ASP technology could be used in the development of new pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. We believe the Si-28 we may produce using the ASP technology may be used to create advanced semiconductors and in quantum computing. We believe the Yb-176 we may produce using the QE technology may be used to create radiotherapeutics that treat various forms of oncology. We are considering the future development of the ASP technology for the separation of Zinc-68 and Xenon-129/136 for potential use in the healthcare end market, Germanium 70/72/74 for potential use in the semiconductor end market, and Chlorine -37 for potential use in the nuclear energy end market. We are also considering the future development of QE technology for the separation of Nickel-64, Gadolinium-160, Ytterbium-171, Lithium 6 and Lithium7.

We are currently pursuing an initiative to apply our enrichment technologies to the enrichment of Uranium-235 (“U-235”) in South Africa. We believe that the U-235 we may produce using quantum enrichment technology may be commercialized as a nuclear fuel component for use in the new generation of high-assay low-enriched uranium (“HALEU”)-fueled small modular reactors that are now under development for commercial and government uses. In furtherance of our uranium enrichment initiative, in October 2024, we entered into a term sheet with TerraPower, LLC (“TerraPower”) which contemplates the parties entering into definitive agreements pursuant to which TerraPower would provide funding for the construction of a HALEU production facility and agree to purchase all HALEU produced at the facility over a 10-year period after the planned completion of the facility in 2027. In addition, in November 2024, we entered into a memorandum of understanding with The South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (“Necsa”), a South African state-owned company responsible for undertaking and promoting research and development in the field of nuclear energy and radiation sciences, to collaborate on the research, development and ultimately the commercial production of advanced nuclear fuels. Subject to the receipt of funding and all required permits and licenses to begin enrichment of U-235 in South Africa, it is anticipated that the research, development and ultimate construction of a HALEU production facility will take place at South Africa’s main nuclear research center at Pelindaba in Pretoria. See the section captioned “TerraPower” below for disclosures regarding certain definitive agreements entered into between TerraPower and us and/or our subsidiaries, including a term loan subject to conditions to support construction of a new uranium enrichment facility at Pelindaba, South Africa and supply agreements for the future supply of HALEU to TerraPower, as a customer.

As previously announced, our board of directors intends to pursue the separation of our Nuclear Fuels business and Specialist Isotopes and Related Services business in two independent companies. The regulatory landscape and supply chain for nuclear fuel production differs significantly from that of medical isotopes, hence we and QLE have different business models and we believe that both companies would benefit if QLE is independently managed and financed. We plan to effect the separation through a listing of QLE in a transaction that results in QLE as a separate public company with shares listed on a U.S. national securities exchange and a portion of QLE’s common equity to be distributed to the Company’s stockholders as of a to-be-determined future record date and, although no assurance can be given, we are aiming to initiate the process for listing of QLE as a separate public company during the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to market conditions and obtaining applicable approvals and consents and complying with applicable rules and regulations and public market trading and listing requirements. In November 2025, we announced that QLE had confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the SEC relating to the proposed initial public offering of QLE’s Class A common stock. While we currently expect that a listing of QLE as a separate public company is the most likely separation transaction, our board of directors remains committed to maximizing shareholder value creation, and will continue to evaluate other options for separation to maximize shareholder value.

Previous wording
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $113.9 million. We have not generated any revenue from the sale of our enriched isotopes, and our ability to generate product revenue from the sale of enriched isotopes sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our current or future enriched isotopes.
Current wording
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $207.3 million and short-term investments of $83.2 million. We have not generated any revenue from the sale of our enriched isotopes, and our ability to generate product revenue from the sale of enriched isotopes sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our current or future enriched isotopes.
Previous wording
We recognize revenue from the sale of nuclear medical doses for PET scanning in South Africa. Our ability to generate product revenue from the sale of nuclear medical doses for PET scanning sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful expansion of production capabilities and commercialization of the results of that expansion. Effective with the acquisition of 79% of Skyline in August 2025, we also recognize revenue from performing construction services, including roads and drainage.
Current wording
We recognize revenue from the sale of nuclear medical doses for PET and SPECT scanning in South Africa and the U.S. Our ability to generate product revenue from the sale of nuclear medical doses for PET and SPECT scanning sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful expansion of production capabilities and commercialization of the results of that expansion. Effective with the acquisition of Renergen in January 2026, we also recognize revenue from the sale of helium and LNG. Our ability to generate revenue from the sale of helium and LNG sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful expansion of production capabilities and commercialization of the results of that expansion. Renergen’s outstanding debt funding may also materially affect our liquidity.
Previous wording
Based on our current operating plan, we estimate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next 12 months from the date the financial statements are issued. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could deplete our capital resources sooner than we expect. Additionally, the process of developing isotopes is costly, and the timing of progress and expenses in these development activities is uncertain.
Current wording
Based on our current operating plan, we estimate that our existing cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from short-term investments, cash flow from operations, the IDC Loan, the SBSA Loan, the DFC Credit Facility and the conditionally approved senior secured debt facilities expected to be funded by the DFC and the Standard Bank of South Africa (as described below), will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next 12 months from the date the financial statements are issued and beyond. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially.

Current wording
the costs and timing of manufacturing for our future isotopes and of exploring for, developing or producing natural gas and helium;
Previous wording
the costs and timing of establishing or securing sales and marketing and distribution capabilities, whether alone or with third parties, to commercialize future isotopes for which we may obtain regulatory approval, if any;
Current wording
the costs and timing of establishing or securing sales and marketing and distribution capabilities, whether alone or with third parties, to commercialize future isotopes or with respect to LNG and helium we produce at the Virginia Gas Plant for which we may obtain regulatory approval, if any;
Previous wording
Developing isotopes is a time-consuming, expensive and uncertain process that takes years to complete, and we may never achieve the necessary results required or obtain applicable regulatory approval for any isotopes or generate revenue from the sale of any future isotopes (assuming applicable regulatory approval is received). In addition, our future isotopes (assuming applicable regulatory approval is received) may not achieve commercial success. Our commercial revenues, if any, will be derived from sales of isotopes that we do not expect to be commercially available in substantial quantities until at least 2025. If we receive permits and licenses to enrich U-235 (which in itself is highly uncertain), we do not expect U-235 to be commercially available for at least several years, if ever. As a result, we may need substantial additional financing to support our continuing operations and further the development of and commercialization of our future isotopes.

Previous wording
Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales of our future isotopes or nuclear medical doses for PET scanning, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through public or private equity or debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to raise additional funds may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, increased interest rates, inflationary pressures, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. The financial markets and the global economy may also be adversely affected by the current or anticipated impact of military conflict. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be or could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our future isotopes, future revenue streams or research programs or may have to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our common stock. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our future isotopes even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such isotopes ourselves.
