Current report
G&A expenses decreased by $491.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to the 2025 recognition of Milestone Contribution 1 of $495.0 million associated with the signing of a non-binding agreement between ENTRA1 and TVA, with no comparable activity in 2026. This decrease was slightly offset by higher compensation costs, fees associated with the implementation of the enterprise resource planning system (“ERP”) and insurance costs.

Our mission is to provide scalable advanced nuclear technology to produce electricity, heat and clean water to improve the quality of life for people around the world. We arecommercializing a modular, scalable electric Light Water Reactor nuclear power plant that we believe will deliver safer, scalable, cost-effective and reliable carbon free power. Our core technology, the NPM, can generate 77 MWe, with a focus on the integration of components, simplification or elimination of systems and use of passive safety features. We believe that this results in a safe and highly reliable power plant suitable to be sited close to where electricity, water desalinization, hydrogen production or process heat is needed.

On February 12, 2026 the Romanian Government approved the investment decision for the Doicești SMR plant project, allowing for the ability to seek financing to further feasibility studies, and site-specific design work prior to any construction moving forward. This is a positive step in support of advancing the project to the next phase as RoPower is authorized to advance the licensing and geotechnical work, finalize a pre-engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contract, and begin negotiating contracts for long lead items. We do not anticipate that RoPower will enter into a pre-EPC contract until they have secured financing to support the pre-EPC activities but once a pre-EPC contract is entered into, we will recommence work on the project. We anticipate that the pre-EPC phase of the project will have an estimated duration of up to 15 months and that activities will include, among other things, the development of a Class 2 cost estimate for the project.
