Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Current report

Our results of operations for the second quarter of 2025 reflect marginal improvements from the corresponding period of 2024. Overall revenue increased by $600,000 or 4.3% to $14,586,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $13,986,000 in the same period of 2024. The increase was entirely from our Treatment Segment where revenue increased by $3,054,000 or approximately 36.6% to $11,397,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $8,343,000 in the same period of 2024. The increase in Treatment Segment revenue was primarily due to increased waste volume and higher averaged price waste from waste mix. With the increase in waste receipts within our Treatment Segment, production challenges were realized that adversely impacted revenue; however, we believe that these issues have been resolved through automation and operational adjustments. Services Segment revenue decreased $2,454,000 or 43.5% to $3,189,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $5,643,000 for the same period of 2024. The decrease was attributed in part, to delays in project mobilizations from existing contracts along with delays in procurements resulting from changes to the new Administration and supporting policies that continued into the second quarter of 2025. We anticipate these changes should stabilize in the near future as new leadership within the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) and other primary federal clients nominate and confirm leadership into each agency. Gross profit increased $2,853,000 or 218.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024. Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $675,000 or 19.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024.

Current report

Our overall revenue increased by $902,000 or 3.3% to $28,505,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $27,603,000 for the corresponding period of 2024. Similar to the second quarter of 2025, the increase was entirely from our Treatment Segment where revenue increased by $3,531,000 or approximately 20.7% to $20,583,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $17,052,000 in the same period of 2024. The increase in Treatment Segment revenue was primarily due to increased waste volume and higher averaged price waste from waste mix. Services Segment revenue decreased $2,629,000 or 24.9% to $7,922,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $10,551,000 for the same period of 2024 primarily due to the same reasons as discussed above for the three months ended June 30, 2025. We generated a gross profit of $2,204,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to a gross loss of $1,926,000 for the corresponding period of 2024, reflecting an overall increase in gross profit of $4,130,000 or 214.4%. SG&A expenses increased by $1,146,000 or 16.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024.

Current report

Summary – Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

Current report

Consolidated revenues increased $902,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, as follows:

Current report

(1) Includes wastes generated by government clients of $1,007,000 and $1,236,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and the corresponding period of 2024, respectively.

Current report

Cost of goods sold for the Treatment Segment increased by approximately $291,000 or 3.1%. Treatment Segment’s overall fixed costs were higher by approximately $682,000 resulting from the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $665,000 due to additional headcount; maintenance expenses were higher by approximately $38,000; depreciation expenses were higher by $25,000; travel expense were higher by $21,000; general expenses were higher by $11,000; and regulatory expenses were lower by $78,000. Treatment Segment’s variable costs decreased by approximately $391,000 primarily due to lower disposal costs of $758,000 and lower outside services costs of $86,000, offset by overall higher material and supplies, transportation and other costs of approximately $453,000. Within our Treatment Segment, variable cost categories can fluctuate based on waste mix. Services Segment cost of goods sold decreased $2,544,000 or 44.2% primarily due to lower revenue. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to overall lower salaries/payroll related, outside services, and travel costs totaling approximately $2,500,000; lower regulatory costs of $24,000; lower general expenses of $13,000 in various categories; and lower depreciation expense of approximately $7,000. Included within cost of goods sold is depreciation and amortization expense of $423,000 and $405,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

Current report

Cost of goods sold decreased $3,228,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, as follows:

Current report

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, increased $2,853,000 over the same period in 2024, as follows:

Current report

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased $4,130,000 over 2024, as follows:

Current report

Treatment Segment gross profit increased by $3,065,000 or approximately 245.4% and gross margin increased to 8.8% % from (7.3)% primarily due to higher revenue from higher waste volume and higher averaged price from waste mix. The increase in fixed costs within the Treatment Segment negatively impacted gross profit and gross margin. Services Segment gross profit increased by $1,065,000 or approximately 157.3% and gross margin improved from (6.4)% to 4.9%. Similar to the second quarter of 2025, the increases were attributed primarily to overall improved margin on projects and lower fixed costs which were offset by the impact of lower revenue. Our Services Segment gross margin is impacted by our current projects which are competitively bid on and will therefore, have varying margin structures.

Current report

SG&Aexpenses increased $1,146,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period for 2024, as follows:

Current report

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which changes existing U.S. tax laws, including extending or making permanent certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, repealing certain clean energy initiatives, in addition to other changes. We continue to evaluate the impact the new legislation will have on our consolidated financial statements but does not anticipate a significant impact due to our valuation allowance position, among other things.

Current report

Cash used in investing activities of our discontinued operations in the first six months of 2024 consisted of payments made for roof replacement at our PFSG location.

Current report

As previously reported, during 2024, we had two offerings of our Common Stock which increased our cash position. As discussed below, in May 2024, we had the first offering. In December 2024, we completed the second securities offering in which we received net proceeds of approximately $23,208,000 after deducting offering fees and expenses.

Current report

*Federal Funding.*As previously disclosed, a significant portion of our revenue is generated through contracts entered into indirectly as subcontractors for prime contractors or directly as a prime contractor to federal government. Government funding levels in general have uncertainties associated with planned federal projects and procurements. Our results of operations in the first half of 2025 were adversely impacted in part, by delays in procurements which, we believe, resulted directly from changes in the administration and supporting policies. We anticipate these changes should stabilize in the near future as new leadership within the DOE and other primary federal clients nominate and confirm leadership into each agency. Although we believe the recently proposed White House Budget and subsequent OMB (The Office of Management and Budget) published funding levels do not appear to suggest significant impacts to opportunities for the Company, we continue to be subjected to changes in spending priorities of government entities that we do business with which could negatively impact our financial results by impairing our ability to perform work on existing contracts, delaying or cancelling procurement actions and waste shipments by government entities, and /or cause other disruptions or delays.
Removed paragraphs (6)

Previous report

We were disappointed with our overall financial result for the first quarter of 2025 which were impacted by a number of factors which included the following, among other things:

Previous report

The majority of these factors had limited duration effects as we began seeing improvement in waste receipts starting in the latter part of the first quarter of 2025 which is reflected in our strengthened waste backlog of approximately $10,237,000 as of March 31, 2025, an increase of approximately $2,378,000 or approximately 30.3%, from $7,859,000 as of December 31, 2024. We have also begun to see improvements in procurement actions within the government arena. We believe the continuing increase in waste receipts, combined with improving project visibility, should position us for a return to growth in the remainder of 2025.

Previous report

R&D expenses increased by approximately $87,000 in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the corresponding period of 2024 primarily due to expenses incurred for our PFAS technology (see “Known Trends and Uncertainties – New Processing Technology” within this MD&A for a discussion of this technology).

Previous report

*Federal Funding.*On March 15, 2025, the President signed a full-year Continuing Resolution (“CR”) that provides funding to federal government agencies through the rest of the fiscal year which ends September 30, 2025. Under the enactment of the CR, federal government entities continue to operate at the 2024 fiscal year budget approved level. As discussed above, a significant portion of our revenue is generated through contracts entered into indirectly as subcontractors for others who are prime contractors or directly as the prime contractor to federal government authorities. We have, in the past experienced delays in waste shipments and projects from certain federal government related customers resulting from numerous factors, including, but not limited to, impact of CR. Additionally, the mission to slash federal spending by the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) continues to contribute uncertainties in federal agencies from which we obtain, directly, or indirectly, government contracts. These aforementioned factors, among others, continue to create uncertainties in federal government spendings that could negatively impact our financial results by impairing our ability to perform work on existing contracts, delaying or cancelling procurement actions by government entities, and/or cause other disruptions or delays.
Reworded paragraphs (36)

Previous wording

Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 increased by approximately $302,000 or approximately 2.2% to $13,919,000 for the first quarter of 2025 from $13,617,000 for the first quarter of 2024. The increase was attributed entirely to our Treatment Segment where revenue increased to $9,186,000 for the first quarter of 2025 from $8,709,000 for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of approximately $477,000 or 5.5%. Services Segment revenue decreased by approximately $175,000 or 3.6% to $4,733,000 for the first quarter of 2025 from $4,908,000 for the first quarter of 2024. Overall gross profit increased by approximately $1,277,000 or 206.0% for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the corresponding period of 2024. Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $471,000 or 13.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024 (see below “Results of Operations” for further discussions of our financial results).

Current wording

See below “Results of Operations” for further discussions of our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period of 2024.

Previous wording

In December 2024, BWXT Technologies and its team, of which we are a member, were awarded the West Valley Project contract for the cleanup operations at the West Valley Development Project in West Valley, New York. The contract has a 10-year ordering period with a maximum value of up to $3 billion that can be performed for up to 15 years. We expect revenue contribution from this project in the second half of 2025 as our scope under the contract is further defined, approved and transitions into operation. Additionally, we are optimistic that the Direct-Feed Low-Activity Waste (“DFLAW”) program at Hanford, Washington remains on track to begin initial tank waste treatment operations in the third quarter of 2025 which our Perma-Fix Northwest, Richland facility is well-positioned to support. We continue to focus on increasing our expansion into the international markets.

Current wording

Although we saw marginal improvements in our financial results in the second quarter of 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2024, our results of operations for these periods did not meet our expectation. However, we believe we are well positioned for continued improvements in the second half of 2025. Our Treatment backlog stands at approximately $13,151,000, an increase of $5,292,000 or 67.3% from the December 31, 2024, balance of $7,859,000. Additionally, in December 2024, BWXT Technologies and its team, of which we are a member, were awarded the West Valley Project contract for the cleanup operations at the West Valley Development Project in West Valley, New York. The contract has a 10-year ordering period with a maximum value of up to $3 billion that can be performed for up to 15 years. We expect revenue contribution from this project in the second half of 2025 as our scope under the contract is further defined, approved and transitions into operation. Also, we expect that the DFLAW program at Hanford, Washington will begin initial tank waste treatment operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 which we believe our PFNWR facility is well-positioned to support. We continue to focus on increasing our expansion into the international markets which is reflected in revenue generated from foreign entities of approximately $3,589,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $1,030,000 for the corresponding period of 2024, an increase of $2,559,000 or 248.4%. Finally, we continue our aggressive approach in research and development (“R&D”), sales and marketing efforts and capital expenditures of our new PFAS technology which adversely impacted our results of operations for the first six months of 2025 (See “Known Trends and Uncertainties – New Processing Technology” for a discussion of our new technology).

Previous wording

We are continually monitoring our operating costs in order to align with our revenue level.

Current wording

We are attempting to make strategic improvements to our plants and equipment and bolster our operational staff to maximize our revenue production capabilities. We are continually monitoring our operating costs to ensure alignment with our revenue level.

Previous wording

Our Treatment and Services Segments’ business continues to be heavily dependent on services that we provide to federal governmental clients, primarily as subcontractors for others who are contractors to government entities or directly as the prime contractor. We believe demand for our services will continue to be subject to fluctuations due to a variety of factors beyond our control, including, without limitation, current economic and political conditions, the manner in which the applicable government authority will be required to spend funding to remediate various sites, and the potential impact from the Continuing Resolution enacted by Congress through the next fiscal federal government budget. In addition, our governmental contracts and subcontracts relating to activities at federal governmental sites are generally subject to termination for convenience at any time, at the government’s option. Significant reductions in the level of governmental funding or specifically mandated levels for different programs that are important to our business could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Current wording

(1) Includes wastes generated by government clients of $567,000 and $608,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and the corresponding period of 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

Treatment Segment revenue increased by $477,000 or 5.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, over the same period in 2024. The overall increase in revenue generated from government clients was primarily due to higher waste volume, partially offset by lower averaged price from waste mix. Revenue generated from government clients included approximately $2,207,000 in revenue generated from foreign waste receipts as the Company remains focused on its international initiatives. The decrease in other nuclear waste was primarily due to lower waste volume, partially offset by higher averaged price from waste mix. The decrease in revenue in the Services Segment was due to lack of projects due in part, to delay in procurement action resulting from the new Administration transition as previously discussed in the “Overview” section. Additionally, our Services Segment revenues are project based; as such, the scope, duration, and completion of each project vary.

Current wording

Treatment Segment overall revenue increased by $3,054,000 or 36.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, over the same period in 2024. The overall increase in revenue in the Treatment Segment was primarily due to higher waste volume and higher averaged price waste from waste mix. Our Treatment Segment revenue was also positively impacted by our international initiatives, which resulted in an increase in revenue of approximately $558,000 or 150.8% in revenue as compared to the same period of last year. Services Segment revenue decreased by approximately $2,454,000 or 43.5%. The decrease in revenue in the Services Segment was due to reasons as discussed in the “Overview” section. Additionally, our Services Segment revenues are project based; as such, the scope, duration, and completion of each project vary.

Current wording

Cost of goods sold decreased $2,253,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as follows:

Previous wording

Cost of goods sold for the Treatment Segment increased by approximately $175,000 or 2.0%. Treatment Segment’s variable costs decreased by approximately $368,000 primarily due to lower disposal costs, partially offset by higher material and transportation costs. Treatment Segment’s overall fixed costs were higher by approximately $543,000 resulting from the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by $556,000 due to higher headcount, attributed partly to the hiring of additional staff in connection with a certain waste stream as discussed in the “Overview” above. Also, salaries and payroll related expenses were higher in the first quarter of 2025 as more employees took vacation time in the first quarter of 2024 resulting in more hours charged to vacation accrual account; general expenses were higher by $113,000 primarily due to higher utility costs; maintenance expenses were higher by approximately $14,000; and regulatory expenses were lower by approximately $140,000. Services Segment cost of goods sold decreased by $1,150,000 or 21.0%. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to lower salaries/payroll related, outside services, and travel costs totaling approximately $1,513,000; lower general expenses by approximately $78,000 in various categories; and higher overall material and supplies, disposal, lab and regulatory expenses totaling approximately $441,000. The overall decrease in cost of goods sold within the Services Segment was attributed partly to cost cutting initiatives that we implemented in order to align expenses with revenue backlog. Additionally, cost of goods sold within our Services Segment are subject to variability as projects are competitively bid on. Included within cost of goods sold is depreciation and amortization expense of $421,000 and $404,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

Current wording

Cost of goods sold for the Treatment Segment increased by approximately $466,000 or 2.5%. Treatment Segment’s overall fixed costs were higher by approximately $1,225,000 resulting from the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by $1,221,000 due to higher headcount. Additionally, salaries and payroll related expenses were higher in the first six months of 2025 as more employees took vacation time in the first six months of 2024 resulting in more hours charged to vacation accrual account; general expenses were higher by $124,000 primarily due to higher utility costs; maintenance expenses were higher by approximately $52,000; depreciation expenses were higher by $42,000; and regulatory expenses were lower by approximately $218,000. Treatment Segment’s variable costs decreased by approximately $759,000 primarily due to lower disposal costs of $2,107,000 and lower outside services costs of $79,000, offset by overall higher material and supplies, transportation and other costs of approximately $1,427,000. Within our Treatment Segment, variable cost categories can fluctuate based on waste mix. Services Segment cost of goods sold decreased $3,694,000 or 32.9% primarily due to lower revenue. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to overall lower salaries/payroll related, outside services, and travel costs totaling approximately $4,012,000; lower depreciation expenses totaling approximately $8,000; lower regulatory costs of $39,000; lower general expenses of approximately $104,000 in various categories; and overall higher material and supplies, lab and disposal costs totaling approximately $469.000. Included within cost of goods sold is depreciation and amortization expense of $845,000 and $810,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

Treatment Segment gross profit increased by $302,000 or approximately 580.8% and gross margin increased to 2.7% from (0.6)% primarily due higher revenue from overall higher waste volume, partially offset by overall lower averaged price from waste mix. The increase in fixed costs negatively impacted gross margin. Services Segment gross profit increased by $975,000 or 171.7% and gross margin increased to 8.6% from (11.6)%. The increase was attributed partly to cost cutting initiatives that we implemented within our Service Segment to align expenses with its revenue backlog as procurement cycles stabilize. Additionally, our overall Services Segment gross margin is impacted by our current projects which are competitively bid on and will therefore, have varying margin structures.

Current wording

Treatment Segment gross profit increased by $2,763,000 or approximately 230.8% and gross margin increased to 13.7% % from (14.3)% primarily due to higher revenue from higher waste volume and higher averaged price from waste mix. The increase in fixed costs within the Treatment Segment negatively impacted gross profit and gross margin. Services Segment gross profit increased by $90,000 or approximately 82.6% and gross margin improved slightly from (1.9)% to (0.6)%. The increases were attributed primarily to overall improved margin on projects and lower fixed costs which were offset by the impact of lower revenue. Our Services Segment gross margin is impacted by our current projects which are competitively bid on and will therefore, have varying margin structures.

Current wording

SG&Aexpenses increased $675,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period for 2024, as follows:

Previous wording

Administrative SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to higher salaries, payroll related expenses and stock option compensation expenses totaling approximately $98,000. The hiring of the Company’s new COO in January 2025 contributed to this increase. Additionally, salaries and payroll related expenses were higher in the first quarter of 2025 as more employees took vacation time in the first quarter of 2024 resulting in more hours charged to vacation accrual account. Administrative Travel expenses were also higher by approximately $12,000 due trips made to the Company’s various facilities by the new COO. The remaining higher expenses in Administrative SG&A expenses were primarily due to higher outside services expenses by approximately $126,000 from more legal and consulting matters. Treatment Segment SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to higher salaries and payroll related expenses of approximately $204,000 as more employee hours were allocated to marketing initiatives of our new PFAS technology. Treatment Segment general expenses were also higher by approximately $87,000 primarily due to higher trade show expenses and higher expenses in various other categories. The decrease in Services Segment SG&A was primarily due to lower salaries and payroll related expenses totaling approximately $117,000, which was partially offset by higher general expenses of approximately $26,000 in various categories, higher travel expenses of approximately $9,000 and higher outside services expenses of approximately $26,000.

Our cash flow requirements during the three months ended March 31, 2025, were primarily financed by our Liquidity (defined under our Loan Agreement as borrowing availability under the revolving credit plus cash in our MMDA maintained with our lender). We believe our cash flow requirements for the next twelve months will consist primarily of general working capital needs, scheduled principal payments on our debt obligations, remediation projects, R&D on our PFAS technology and capital expenditures (which include our PFAS technology) (see “Known Trends and Uncertainties – New Processing Technology” within this MD&A for a discussion of this technology). We plan to fund these requirements from our operations and our Liquidity. We are continually reviewing operating costs and reviewing the possibility of further reducing operating costs and non-essential expenditures to bring them in line with revenue levels. As of March 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowing under our revolving credit and our Liquidity was approximately $29,277,000. We believe that our cash flows from operations and our Liquidity should be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Although we believe our operations should improve in the remainder of 2025, if we continue to incur losses such as in the first quarter of 2025, this could cause a reduction in our Liquidity.

*New Processing Technology.*We have completed the fabrication, installation, commissioning and startup of our first full scale commercial Perma-FAS system (“System”) for PFAS destruction, located at our Perma-Fix Florida, Inc. facility. PFAS, commonly known as “forever chemicals,” is the acronym for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, a diverse group of thousands of human-made chemical pollutants that have the potential to persist in both the environment and the human body. An increasing number of studies have documented adverse health risks that are associated with PFAS exposure, including increased risks of some cancers, reduced immune function, and developmental delays in children. Commercial destruction of PFAS offers a promising new source of revenue for us, as it complements our core waste remediation technologies, and we have filed patent applications relating to our System technology for PFAS destruction. With the successful startup of our pilot System, we have already processed commercial quantities of PFAS-containing waste materials. There are limited current treatment options for these materials, and we expect that our process will exceed any of these other current methods. Some of the sizable markets for PFAS include AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) firefighting foams, both expired concentrate and flushing liquids, contaminated liquids from PFAS systems, and other water-based separation products from a variety of industrial systems. We have already secured and are treating approximately 10,000 gallons of AFFF liquids to support ongoing operations, demonstration, and further testing of our System. We believe that we will receive an additional 50,000 gallons in the coming months.
