374Water Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results; Revenue Increases More Than 280% Year-Over-Year

ACCESS Newswire
Quarterly revenue exceeds $2.2 million as the Company begins translating commercial milestones into financial results MORRISVILLE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / August 18, 2026 / 374Water Inc. (NASDAQ:SCWO) ("374Water" or the "Company"), a leading cleantech and environmental services company deploying supercritical water oxidation technology for the destruction of PFAS and other organic waste streams, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $2.26 million, compared with approximately $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of approximately 280% quarter-over-quarter, driven by the completion project milestones, most notable the Orange County Sanitation District ("OC San") Factory Acceptance Test, and associated revenues. Revenue for the first six months of 2026 was $2.8 million, compared with approximately $1.1 million for the same period in 2025. Gross profit for the quarter was $1.98 million, representing a gross margin of 87%, compared with a gross deficit of approximately $0.3 million and a negative gross margin in the second quarter of 2025. "The second quarter marked an important achievement for 374Water, driven by our successful completion of the OC San Factory Acceptance Test, which enabled us to recognize approximately $2.0 million in revenue and demonstrate meaningful commercial progress," said Danny Bogar, Chief Executive Officer of 374Water. "Beyond the revenue milestone, the greater accomplishment is what our team and technology have proven - AirSCWO can reliably destroy biosolids at the source and at scale. This milestone allows us to begin invoicing the remaining $2.6 million of the OC San contract as we achieve additional contractual milestones and, more broadly, demonstrates that AirSCWO is ready to address the massive and growing biosolids challenge-starting in California and extending across the United States." Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights Revenue: $2.26 million, an increase of approximately 280% from $0.6 million in Q2 2025. Gross profit: $1.98, compared with a gross deficit of approximately $0.3 million in Q2 2025. Gross margin: 87%, compared with approximately -46% in Q2 2025. Operating expenses: $3.6 million, compared with $4.3 million in Q2 2025. Operating loss: $1.6 million, compared with $4.6 million in Q2 2025. Net loss:…Read full document

Financial Position and Outlook During the first half of 2026, 374Water continued to focus on strengthening its financial position while advancing the commercialization of AirSCWO™ and the development of its recurring Waste Destruction Services ("WDS") business model. The Company has also taken action to reduce its operating costs by approximately $3.2 million on an annualized basis, while prioritizing capital toward commercial deployments and revenue-generating opportunities. Operational Accomplishments Our team has been intensely focused on one objective: turning AirSCWO into a scalable Waste Destruction Services business while executing our projects. In just the last several months our team has achieved a series of milestones that solidify the foundation for that business: Secured our Orlando WDS facility through a long-term agreement with the City of Orlando, establishing an attractive operating location and the foundation of a significant regional waste destruction hub network. Expanded our relationship with the City of Orlando, creating the framework to grow our WDS operations and processing additional difficult waste streams using AirSCWO. Achieved >99.9% PFAS destruction in U.S. Department of Defense testing, providing important third-party validation of AirSCWO for a Federal priority and one of the most pressing human health and environmental challenges. Executed a strategic collaboration agreement with Arcadis, bringing together 374Water's destruction technology with one of the world's leading environmental engineering and consulting organizations to jointly execute commercial and government opportunities. Received additional validation from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, further demonstrating our ability to destroy PFAS and other recalcitrant compounds. Earned the coveted DIU Success Memo - "Golden Ticket" - through our partnership with Arcadis, establishing an important contracting pathway for AirSCWO to access and address the millions of gallons of AFFF stockpiles across all branches of the Department of Defense and elsewhere in the Federal Government. Taken together, these represent the building blocks of our WDS business and Company as a whole: mounting demand, contract mechanisms, world-class partners, technology validation, government approval, established facilities, and pathways to revenue. We Continue to Execute and Build the Infrastructure to Scale While advancing our WDS strategy, which is critical for growth and market penetration, our team has continued to execute on our existing municipal commitments and expanding the capabilities needed to support the next stage of 374Water's growth: OC San, California: Successfully completed the Factory Acceptance Test for our AirSCWO system, a major contractual and technical milestone, with delivery to Orange County, California scheduled for October and unlocking an additional $2.6 million of contract value and anticipated follow-on installations. St. Cloud, Minnesota: Our approximately $600,000 deployment is nearing completion, with the demonstration program expected to wrap up in September, adding another important municipal operational reference. Olathe, Kansas: Advancing our contracted $4.8M deployment and preparing for launch, further expanding our municipal footprint and demonstrating growing adoption of the technology. Orlando Infrastructure: On the back of our expanded relationship with the City of Orlando, we are building much more than a WDS facility. Orlando is becoming an operational center for 374Water, with expanded machine shop, fabrication, electrical panel, R&D and testing capabilities, as well as an engineering hub to support our systems and future deployments. "We have accomplished a tremendous amount in a very short period of time-and there is much more ahead," concluded Bogar. "We are simultaneously delivering for our existing commitments, expanding our WDS business to reach more customers, creating durable partnerships that open business pipelines and meet growing demand, and building the infrastructure and capabilities to scale our AirSCWO technology, our services, and our business." 374Water provided a comprehensive update on its recent commercial accomplishments and strategic initiatives on August 11, 2026.

Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights Preliminary second quarter revenue exceeded $2.2M vs. $0.6M in 2025, driven by approximately $2.0M recognized following the OC San Factory Acceptance Test Preliminary first half revenue of approximately $2.8M vs. $1.1M in 2025 Continued progress on commercial equipment sales and deliveries, including: The company also continues discussions with strategic industry participants regarding project development, commercial partnerships, and infrastructure capital opportunities. Expanding the Waste Destruction Services Platform The Orlando regional hub is designed as the Company's first recurring-revenue waste destruction facility. As customer volumes increase, management believes the facility will become a scalable cash-generating asset supporting municipal, industrial, and federal customers while serving as the blueprint for future regional Waste Destruction Services hubs. The Orlando WDS hub now includes approximately 88,000 gallons of waste storage capacity, allowing the Company to receive and stage significantly larger volumes of PFAS-contaminated waste. Management believes the Orlando Waste Destruction facility has the potential to generate multi-million-dollar annual recurring revenues as customer contracts are secured and processing volumes ramp up. Arcadis MOU Establishes Commercial Framework for Federal PFAS Destruction During the quarter, 374Water announced a strategic relationship with Arcadis, one of the world's leading engineering and environmental consulting firms. This collaboration is expected to accelerate commercial opportunities primarily across the Federal and Industrial markets by combining Arcadis' global engineering capabilities with 374Water's destruction technology. Management believes the U.S. government's need to destroy PFAS-containing waste, including AFFF and other contaminated materials, represents a multi-billion-dollar long-term remediation market. Through its collaboration with Arcadis and successful Department of Defense demonstration programs, the Company is positioning itself to compete for future federal destruction projects as procurement opportunities emerge. Factory Acceptance Test and Delivery Scheduled for OC Sanitation District 374Water completed the Factory Acceptance Test ("FAT") for its AirSCWO system as part of the delivery and deployment milestones for Orange County Sanitation District ("OC San"). Completion of the Factory Acceptance Test activates the next phase of the project, positioning the Company to recognize the remaining $1.1 million in revenue while receiving $2.6 million in remaining billings, as operational milestones are completed. The Company and OC San have planned for the deployment of the 374Water commissioning team and system in October of this year. Together with active projects in Orlando, St. Cloud, and Olathe, 374Water continues to build a growing portfolio of municipal reference installations that management believes will support future commercial growth across North America. Leadership and Governance 374Water appointed Charles "Chuck" Weiser, CPA, as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Weiser succeeds Adrienne Anderson, who served as Interim Chief Financial Officer and will continue to support the Company. The Board appointed Richard "Rick" Davis to the Board of Directors. Mr. Davis previously served on the Board from 2021 through June 2025 and, is the former Chief Executive Officer of PowerVerde. Looking Ahead "We are working to build a Company that delivers - safely, consistently, transparently, and with urgency," said Bogar. "Our commercial momentum is translating into greater revenue visibility. We have approximately $2.6 million remaining to be invoiced under the OC San contract. Our $600,000 St. Cloud WDS pilot is in Phase III, and we hope to expand that relationship going forward. In addition, with over $4.8M expected from our Olathe, KS contract, an expanded Orlando destruction hub, and multiple strategic collaborations advancing, we believe we are building a foundation for recurring growth. "As we strengthen our balance sheet, align with strategic partners such as Arcadis, and bring new customers to our Orlando hub, we believe the market will recognize the value of 374Water. The opportunity in front of us is significant. Our job now is to execute." About 374Water 374Water Inc.

Dow closes more than 500 points ahead as earnings optimism outweighs tech weakness

Proactive
Stocks finished mixed on Tuesday as investors looked past another weak session for technology shares, with strong earnings expectations and lower oil prices helping lift the broader market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average led the way, climbing 537 points, or 1%, to close at 52,747. The S&P 500 added 16 points, or 0.2%, to finish at 7,429, while the Nasdaq slipped 55 points, or 0.2%, to 24,877 as chip stocks remained under pressure. Technology continued to lag, with the S&P Technology Select Sector Index falling 1.9% on the day and extending its five-day decline to 4.6%, reflecting ongoing weakness in semiconductor names. Investors also kept a close eye on the Federal Reserve as policymakers began their two-day policy meeting. While markets largely expect the central bank to leave interest rates unchanged when its decision is announced Wednesday, uncertainty around the Fed's next move has made this one of the most closely watched meetings in recent memory. Attention is also turning to a busy stretch of corporate earnings. After Tuesday's closing bell, investors were awaiting results from Visa and Ford. Wednesday promises an even bigger slate, with Procter & Gamble, General Dynamics and Boston Scientific reporting before the open, followed by heavyweight technology companies Microsoft, Meta Platforms and Qualcomm after the close. Starbucks, Fortinet, Robinhood, Carvana and Chipotle are also set to report Wednesday evening. For now, falling oil prices and optimism around earnings helped offset the drag from technology stocks, leaving the Dow and S&P 500 in positive territory even as the Nasdaq ended slightly lower. First Phosphate Corp. (CSE:PHOS, OTCQX:FRSPF, FRA:KD0, OTC:FPHOY) has maintained an Outperform rating from Noble Capital Markets, which cited the company's strong funding position, debt-free balance sheet and strategic role in the North American lithium iron phosphate battery supply chain. 374Water Inc (NASDAQ:SCWO, FRA:8LL) has begun Phase 3 of its AirSCWO deployment in Minnesota as the state continues evaluating the company's technology for destroying PFAS-contaminated waste under a $600,000 pilot contract. Royal Road Minerals Ltd (TSX-V:RYR, OTC:RRDMF, FRA:RLU) has raised $7.31 million through a brokered share offering to fund drilling across its exploration portfolio in Colombia.

Fox Tungsten Ltd (TSX-V:FOXT, OTC:HPYCF, FRA:1HC) said drilling at its fully funded 20,000-metre program in British Columbia has intersected visible scheelite mineralization in multiple target areas, suggesting the mineralized system is expanding. Replimune (NASDAQ: REPL) shares plunged nearly 31% after FDA reviewers questioned the effectiveness of its lead cancer therapy RP1 ahead of an advisory committee meeting, extending the stock's five-day decline to about 47%. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:RCL) shares rose 4.4% after the cruise operator beat second-quarter profit estimates and raised its full-year outlook on strong demand and improved cost efficiencies. Hilton Worldwide Holdings (NYSE: HLT) raised its full-year profit forecast but saw shares fall 3.4% after issuing weaker-than-expected third-quarter guidance. PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL) shares climbed nearly 4% after the payments company reported better-than-expected second-quarter earnings and revenue and increased its full-year non-GAAP guidance. 374Water Inc (NASDAQ:SCWO, FRA:8LL) has begun Phase 3 of its AirSCWO deployment in Minnesota as the state continues evaluating the company's technology for destroying PFAS-contaminated waste under a $600,000 pilot contract. United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) shares fell 6% after investors looked past better-than-expected second-quarter results and a higher full-year outlook to focus on weaker domestic expectations, lower international profitability and restructuring costs. GSK (LSE: GSK, NYSE: GSK) shares climbed to a three-month high after the pharmaceutical company beat second-quarter revenue and earnings expectations while increasing investment in its drug pipeline. Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) shares gained nearly 7% after the beverage giant reported stronger-than-expected second-quarter earnings and raised its full-year guidance. Boeing Co (NYSE:BA, XETRA:BCO) reported a wider-than-expected quarterly loss despite beating revenue estimates as higher commercial aircraft deliveries helped lift its backlog to a record $715 billion. Navitas Semiconductor (NASDAQ: NVTS) shares fell about 10% after investors focused on the company's large GAAP net loss despite second-quarter revenue exceeding Wall Street expectations. Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) reported fourth-quarter revenue that surged 407% year over year and posted an unexpected adjusted profit as it continues its transition to an AI infrastructure company. Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at IG, said another round of selling in tech stocks is keeping pressure on global markets, although the chip sector pullback remains relatively contained. "Investors continue to dump AI and chip stocks at a prodigious rate. The euphoria of May and June is long gone, but the selloff is still mostly limited to these tech sectors," Beauchamp commented. "Oil’s ongoing slump provides a cushion for a broad swathe of other sectors, but it is unlikely that these can remain immune for long. Rising CDS prices for tech heavyweights are a sign that this has the potential to turn into something quite nasty, and then in that eventuality few stocks will be able to remain immune.” The Nasdaq 100 has officially entered correction territory, falling 10% from its record high as the semiconductor selloff punishes the tech-heavy index. Meanwhile, investors reacted to a fresh batch of softer-than-expected US economic data. Private-sector hiring continued to lose momentum, with ADP data showing payroll growth averaged just 15,000 jobs per week through July 11, down from 35,750 in early May. Elsewhere, consumer confidence disappointed, slipping to 90.8 in July versus expectations of 92.4, while the U.S. goods trade deficit widened to $101.5 billion in June, slightly above forecasts of a $100 billion deficit. Wall Street's sweeping semiconductor sell-off deepened in early Tuesday trading, with many investors seeming to move into the Dow's blue-chip names. The Dow gained 318 points, or 0.6%, while the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 1.2% and the S&P 500 slipped 0.2%. The Nasdaq 100's biggest fallers were mostly semiconductors, with Western Digital, Lumentum, Seagate and SanDisk all plunging more than 11%. Micron, Lam Research, Marvell, AMD, Arm and Applied Materials lost 7-10%, as concerns over AI financing and Chinese competition intensified. On the Dow, paints maker Sherwin-Williams and drinks maker Coca-Cola were top of early leaderboard, jumping 7% and 6.2% after impressing with earnings. Amgen, Salesforce and Home Depot were also well bid. Among the pre-market reporters, PayPal rose 4.2%, Boeing gained 3.7% and Royal Caribbean added 2.4% following their results. UPS sank 6%, however, while Hilton dropped 3.5% as investors gave their updates a cooler reception. Wall Street is heading for another mixed session on Tuesday, with blue-chip gains offset by concerns about AI spending and Chinese competition weighing on some technology stocks. Dow Jones futures were up 317 points, or 0.6%, but the Nasdaq has been called 1% lower, with S&P 500 futures down 0.1%. Chip stocks are expected to remain under pressure, with Nvidia down another 1% before the bell after dropping nearly 5% at the start of the week. Yesterday, the Dow climbed 263 points or 0.5% to 52,210, while the S&P 500 was little changed, adding just 1.2 points to close at 7,413, while the Nasdaq fell 0.2% to 24,932. Falling oil prices have provided some relief, leading to easing pressure from the bond market. WTI crude has fallen another 1.7% to $81.19 a barrel after President Donald Trump said there was "a good chance" of reaching a deal with Tehran. Market watchers said this was shifting the focus from geopolitics towards the AI trade, where many investors seem increasingly concerned about the financing required for AI infrastructure and how long it will take for the spending to deliver returns. Reports that Nvidia could provide $250 billion in financing guarantees for OpenAI's planned Ohio data center have added to those concerns. Chinese progress in developing chipmaking equipment has also raised questions about the competitive position of Western semiconductor companies. "Investors are running out of patience to see these investments pay off," said market analyst Kathleen Brooks at XTB. This comes in one of the busiest weeks of the year, with the Federal Reserve beginning its two-day meeting today and several major technology companies due to report this week. "Investors are becoming increasingly selective this earnings season, with strong revenue growth no longer enough to satisfy markets unless accompanied by evidence that elevated spending is translating into sustainable profitability," said Daniela Hathorn at Capital.com. Coca-Cola, Boeing, S&P Global, UPS, Royal Caribbean, Sherwin-Williams, Hilton and PayPal report before the bell. Visa, KLA, Seagate Technology, Mondelez, Ford and NXP Semiconductors follow after the close. The Fed will announce its latest policy decision on Wednesday.

UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said Tuesday she is "minded to intervene" in the transaction, citing concerns over media plurality and the concentration of ownership in the news sector. "Following engagement with the parties and independent research, my department has today written to the current and proposed owners of Warner Bros Discovery on my behalf to inform them that I am minded to intervene," Nandy said in a statement. She added that any potential intervention would be based on public interest considerations, including ensuring "a sufficient plurality of views in news media" and "a sufficient plurality of persons with control of the media enterprises." Nandy noted she has not yet made a final decision, and the companies have been given a week to respond. If the government proceeds, UK media regulator Ofcom would conduct a public interest assessment alongside an ongoing review by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which is examining the deal's potential impact on competition. The CMA is expected to announce the next steps in its investigation in early August. Paramount-Skydance said it remains confident the transaction does not raise media plurality concerns in the UK. Wall Street stocks have opened higher, with the Nasdaq out in front as chip stocks return to the front. The Nasdaq has climbed 0.5% in the opening half hour of trading, with the Dow is up 0.1% to 52,229, while the S&P 500 is in the middle, having added 0.3%. The early leaderboard is heavily semiconductor-weighted, with SanDisk up 5.8%, then a line looking like Monolithic Power, AMD, Lam Research and KLA all up 3% or more, while ASML, Intel and NVIDIA are also up 2-1% as part of broader tech demand. On the Dow, gains led by Caterpillar, Boeing and Apple are being partly cancelled out by losses for Verizon, Disney, P&G and IBM. US stocks have been predicted to extend their recovery on Tuesday, as investors approach the final session of a second quarter that has delivered a strong rebound for many risk assets. Futures pointed to a slightly firmer open, with S&P 500 futures up 0.1%, Nasdaq futures up 0.35% and Dow Jones futures only just above flat. Yesterday, Wall Street ended a five-day losing run, with the Dow Jones rising 0.6% to close above 52,000 for the first time at 52,182. The Nasdaq Composite added 2.1% to 25,820, while the S&P 500 climbed 1.2% to 7,440. The quarter has been defined by a renewed rush into chip stocks, but out of tech megacaps, a stronger dollar, sharp moves in commodities and shifting expectations for the Federal Reserve. In June, the Magnificent Seven hyperscalers have dropped around 10%, down nearly 15% from May's peak, with Alphabet and Amazon down 17% and 19% since the May peak, Microsoft losing more than a third of its valuation since last October and Meta down nearly 30% since last August. However, the S&P is on the verge of its best quarterly performance in six years, since the index bounced back sharply from the initial pandemic slump. Kathleen Brooks at XTB said the period was "ending on a high note", with the Philadelphia semiconductor index up 88% over the quarter and the Nasdaq ahead 22.5%. "The AI trade is still robust, even if it has splintered in recent months, with the chip makers surging and the hyperscalers struggling," she said. Kenny Polcari at SlateStone Wealth said recent weakness was “not a funeral for AI”, but rather quarter-end rebalancing as institutions harvested gains and rotated capital. "Today is the final trading day of the quarter, which means the quarter-end window dressing is essentially over," he said. "The rebalancing by pension funds, institutional asset managers and sovereign wealth funds ... is just about complete." Tuesday’s data calendar includes the Conference Board consumer confidence index and JOLTS job openings, ahead of Thursday’s non-farm payrolls report, with US markets closed on Friday. Donald Trump says the peace talks will resume in Doha today, though Iranian officials say they will not. In company news, mid-turnaround sportswear colossus Nike reports earnings after the close, along with Corona and Modelo brewer Constellation Brands.

I've spent my entire career in water, wastewater and biosolids, and I've never seen this level of pent-up demand focused on a single company and solution. It's an exciting time, and we are ready for what's ahead." First Quarter 2026 Business & Financial Highlights Operational Highlights Appointed Danny Bogar as CEO and strengthened the Board of Directors by adding directors Brad Freels, Chuck Weiser, and Stephen McKnight, who join Jim Pawloski and 374Water Co-Founder Marc Deshusses. Rick Davis was subsequently added to the Board of Directors during the interim reporting period. Signed a 5-year agreement with the City of Orlando, FL to build out the Company's Waste Destruction Services facility. The agreement includes two 5-year extensions. Received the purchase order and associated milestone payment of $2.2M from Garney Construction for the City of Olathe sale and services contract. The total contract is valued at more than $4.5M. Delivered the mobile AirSCWO system to St. Cloud, MN for a six-month campaign destroying PFAS-laden biosolids and other PFAS waste streams. Released destruction results from U.S. Department of Defense, Defense Innovation Unit testing conducted with the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program, Arcadis, and Clean Earth. Third-party lab analyses showed AirSCWO consistently destroyed PFAS well beyond project targets, and often in excess of 99.9%. Financial Highlights for Q1 2026 Compared to Q1 2025 Revenue: $551,155 vs. $543,100 in Q1 2025 Gross Margin: $348,412 (63%) vs. $138,283 (25%) in Q1 2025 - a 38-percentage-point improvement year-over-year Net Loss: $(4,571,623) vs. $(3,698,414) in Q1 2025, reflecting continued investment in commercial infrastructure and certain non-recurring items: $184,000 in capitalized offering costs expensed upon the Company's strategic shift to convertible debt financing and $158,000 in Delaware franchise tax related to an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock. Overhead Reduction and Cash Burn: Cash used in operating activities was $(2,508,341) vs. $(3,494,477) in Q1 2025 - a 28% improvement in operating cash efficiency. Since its leadership transition in March 2026, the Company has taken decisive actions to improve operational efficiency, streamline overhead, and focus resources on near-term commercial opportunities. Building the Platform for Waste Destruction Services 374Water is scaling its recurring revenue platform to better serve municipal, federal, and industrial markets, with AirSCWO positioned as the end-of-pipe solution for PFAS treatment chains. Waste Destruction Services Facility: We believe Waste Destruction Services ("WDS") is the future of PFAS destruction and wastewater treatment. Since late 2024, the Company has been operating on-site at the City of Orlando's Iron Bridge Water Reclamation Facility, destroying biosolids, AFFF, ion exchange resin, and foam fractionate under contracted service arrangements. We have more recently begun the buildout of a dedicated WDS facility at the same location. The Company's WDS facility is designed as an industrial-grade, multi-waste receiving and destruction hub with more than 80,000 gallons of tank storage. The current facility buildout, now underway, converts that operational foundation into a permanent, scalable infrastructure asset. We expect initial operations to generate between $100,000 to $200,000 in monthly revenue, increasing to more than $400,000 monthly by late 2027, with 374Water's initial investment. The WDS facility is designed for modular expansion. Active discussions with potential co-investment partners are underway regarding expanding the facility and capacity to increase our revenue potential from $5M ARR to more than $15M ARR by adding additional modular AirSCWO platforms. These partners could bring not only capital but potentially operational synergies and contracted inbound waste volumes of foam fractionate, reverse osmosis brine, activated carbon, and ion exchange. The Orlando WDS hub - anchored by a long-term municipal partnership - represents 374Water's scalable deployment model. The Company intends to replicate this structure across additional geographies as contracted demand and strategic partnerships develop. City of Orlando Demonstration: During Q1 2026, 374Water successfully completed its full-scale demonstration at Orlando's Iron Bridge Regional Water Reclamation Facility, generating approximately $482,000 in service revenue and demonstrating its commercial proposition across the municipal wastewater sector. Modular AirSCWO Platform: We're moving - and thinking - outside the box. The modular AirSCWO architecture is a core component of the Company's innovative product offering and scalable platform. By uncoupling the system into discrete sub-systems - pumps, reactor, heat capture, and others - 374Water has improved manufacturing, simplified field maintenance and operations, and enabled capacity to be added incrementally at any deployment site. Customers can right-size an initial installation and scale up through additional modules as contracted volume grows, potentially reducing capital barriers to entry and accelerating time-to-revenue for new deployments. Mobile AirSCWO System: The Company's next-generation mobile AirSCWO system - designed for rapid on-site deployment - has arrived in Minnesota for its inaugural six-month service campaign with the City of St. Cloud. We expect the system will serve as a key component of 374Water's recurring service revenue model. OC San Equipment Contract: The AirSCWO 6 system designed for OC San -the third largest wastewater agency on the West Coast - has met continuous run-time factory acceptance test requirements and continues toward final volume milestone completion. OC San's selection of AirSCWO represents the platform's commercial and operational readiness at institutional scale. Biosolids and slurry (liquid and solid mixture) processing has long been the challenge for SCWO technologies. 374Water has established a notable advantage within the industry and among competitors with this capability being one of our relative strengths. While competitors and other companies avoid slurry waste streams, 374Water is unlocking massive markets and offering a truly unique value proposition. Department of Defense PFAS Destruction Program: 374Water's AirSCWO technology has achieved independently validated destruction and removal efficiency of greater than 99.9% across multiple PFAS-impacted waste streams through the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit ("DIU") and Environmental Security Technology Certification Program ("ESTCP") initiative. Results were independently verified by Arcadis, a global leader in environmental engineering, and publicly presented at the DoD Applied Innovation Workshop in March 2026. The Company was also awarded a subcontract with to support the U.S. Air Force in addressing PFAS contamination at firefighter training areas across military installations nationwide. Update on Strategic Priorities for 2026 In March, under our new management team, we announced our strategic priorities for 2026. In just 45 days we have made material progress towards each of these objectives. The contracted AirSCWO 6 system for OC San in Fountain Valley, CA has met continuous run-time factory acceptance test requirements and continues toward final volume milestone completion. Engineering improvements to system design and operational performance are being incorporated ahead of deployment. Infrastructure buildout of the WDS facility at the City of Orlando's Iron Bridge Facility is underway. Receiving and handling systems, tankage, and AirSCWO integration are progressing toward full-scale operations, expected later this year. The facility continues to accept and destroy contracted PFAS waste streams during buildout. The mobile AirSCWO system has been deployed to St. Cloud, MN under a contracted six-month service campaign, destroying PFAS-laden biosolids and other PFAS waste streams for the city. Engineering and manufacturing teams are building the next-generation AirSCWO system for contracted delivery to Olathe, KS in partnership with Garney Construction - designed for higher-volume slurry and liquid waste processing at industrial scale. Management is actively engaged with strategic partners - industrial operators, infrastructure companies, and environmental services platforms - to structure WDS partnerships across targeted verticals and geographic markets. Strategic Partnerships & Capital Raise 374Water's growth strategy is built around strategic partnerships with established industrial and infrastructure operators - companies with scale, commercial networks, and process waste streams that are natural fits for contracted AirSCWO destruction services. We expect these partners bring pipeline access, operational infrastructure, and co-investment capacity that accelerates deployment far beyond what organic capital formation alone can support. While many of these operators offer an array of entrenched treatment technologies to critical markets, they often fall well short of destruction, achieving only concentration and removal of toxins and contaminants. This leaves continuing and contingent liabilities for years to come. Management is in active discussions with multiple parties at both the corporate and project levels, structured around long-term contractual alignment. "We see clear demand from the market, and others see it as well," said Howard Teicher, VP of Government for 374Water. "We have several interested partners who want to help bring AirSCWO to market, create strong commercial pathways, and provide supporting operations for our projects and technology. "We are heavily engaged in structuring a partnership to unlock tremendous value and accelerate our scale-up." "We are building a recurring revenue platform with contracted deployments, improving margins, and a growing roster of strategic partners who understand the scale of the PFAS destruction opportunity," said Danny Bogar, President and CEO of 374Water. "Industrial and infrastructure operators are coming to the table because they see what we already know: AirSCWO is not a future technology. It is operating today, destroying waste under contract, and ready to scale." About 374Water 374Water Inc.

374Water reports US government-validated PFAS destruction results for AirSCWO

Proactive

374Water Inc (NASDAQ:SCWO, FRA:8LL) has released US government-backed test results demonstrating the performance of its AirSCWO technology in destroying PFAS, a group of persistent environmental contaminants. The results stem from the company’s participation in a project led by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP), with independent evaluation and presentation by Arcadis. According to the company, AirSCWO permanently destroys PFAS rather than concentrating or filtering them. Testing across six PFAS-contaminated waste streams showed the system met or exceeded all key performance objectives. Liquid waste streams achieved more than 99.9% destruction and removal efficiency (DRE), while solid waste streams exceeded 90%. "Performing technical demonstrations at scale, such as this DIU project, are essential to build trust within government agencies," said Howard Teicher, 374Water's vice president, government. "Watching AirSCWO PFAS-contaminated waste streams, in some cases to a NON-DETECT or single-parts per trillion level, affirms that this technology is ready for operational use." Dr Raj Melkote, 374Water’s chief technology officer, described the results as “a defining moment for AirSCWO and for the PFAS destruction market as a whole.” "What Arcadis and Clean Earth helped us demonstrate is not just that AirSCWO works - it's that it works across the hardest waste streams, under the most rigorous federal protocols, with third-party analytical data that leaves no room for ambiguity.” Shares of 374Water added almost 6% on the news.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) gained after UBS shifted its rating to Neutral, noting the current valuation better balances near-term demand pressures with long-term AI-driven growth potential. Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:LCID) fell after announcing a roughly $300 million equity offering as part of a broader $1 billion capital raise involving strategic investors. United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:UAL, XETRA:UAL1) rose on merger speculation following a Bloomberg report suggesting potential consolidation discussions involving senior leadership with American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:AAL, XETRA:A1G). BlackRock Inc (NYSE:BLK) climbed after reporting stronger-than-expected Q1 results, driven by robust inflows and higher technology-related revenues. Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE:WFC, XETRA:NWT) slipped after mixed Q1 results, where earnings beat estimates but revenue came in slightly below expectations. 374Water Inc (NASDAQ:SCWO, FRA:8LL) announced the reappointment of a seasoned board member with extensive experience in finance and clean technology. Nextech3D.AI (CSE:NTAR, OTCQX:NEXCF, FRA:1SS) turned cash flow positive following an AI-driven restructuring and automation initiative that reduced costs and improved efficiency. Trillion Energy International Inc. (CSE:TCF, OTCQB:TRLEF, FRA:Z620) surged after announcing a light oil discovery in Türkiye and signaling a strategic shift toward high-impact exploration. Tiziana Life Sciences Ltd (NASDAQ:TLSA) gained attention after a Phase 2a intranasal therapy study for multiple system atrophy was accepted for presentation at a major medical congress. "Crude prices fell below $96 per barrel as markets reacted to signs that the US and Iran may resume negotiations, easing some immediate supply concerns following Washington’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz," commented IG's Axel Rudolph. "Talks are reportedly being arranged ahead of the expiry of the two-week ceasefire, although previous discussions failed to reach agreement. "Despite the pullback in oil, the broader outlook remains uncertain, with the IEA warning the conflict could wipe out global oil demand growth this year - marking the first annual decline since the pandemic - while ongoing damage to energy infrastructure and restricted shipping continue to weigh on supply.” The latest PPI report suggests that inflation is being influenced by external shocks, according to Gina Bolvin, president of Bolvin Wealth Management. "Energy is driving the upside, and with geopolitical tension around key oil routes, those price moves can happen quickly and filter through the system," Bolvin noted. "Underneath that, core inflation is relatively steady, which suggests the broader economy isn’t overheating. That split is what makes this moment tricky. It leaves the Fed in a holding pattern—unable to ignore higher headline inflation, but also hesitant to react to what looks like a temporary, supply-driven move. "When inflation becomes less predictable, markets tend to become more reactive—and that’s exactly the environment we’re in," she added. JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM, XETRA:CMC) shares were little changed on Tuesday morning after the bank reported first quarter results that exceeded analyst expectations, driven by strength in trading and investment banking. The lender posted earnings of $5.94 per share, ahead of the $5.45 estimate, while revenue came in at $50.54 billion, topping forecasts of $49.17 billion. Elsewhere, Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) first-quarter profit rose sharply from a year earlier and topped Wall Street estimates, helped by stronger trading performance and steady growth across its core businesses. The bank said revenue rose 14% to $24.63 billion, above analysts’ expectations of $23.5 billion, while earnings per share came in at $3.06, compared with estimates of $2.6. Wall Street stocks have begun Tuesday trading higher, with the Nasdaq climbing over 1% to exceed its levels from before the US and Israel began attacks on Iran. The S&P 500 has risen 0.5% and the Dow Jones 0.2%. Top risers on the S&P are Oracle, Robinhood, Coinbase, Carvana, Axon Enterprise, Ares Management, Fair Isaac and Super Micro Computer. At the other end, financials, energy and technology names are leading the fallers, with Wells Fargo among the weakest on the back of its earnings. Technology hardware names also slipped, including Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, chipmaker Intel, and storage firm SanDisk. Energy stocks were under pressure as oil prices pulled back, with decliners including super majors Exxon Mobil and Chevron, as well as producers such as ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, Devon Energy, Coterra Energy and Diamondback Energy, with oilfield services group Halliburton also falling. Chemicals and materials names weakened, including Dow, LyondellBaselland fertiliser producer CF Industries. US producer price inflation came in softer than expected, suggesting some easing in pipeline price pressures. The Producer Price Index rose 4.0% year-over-year, below the 4.6% consensus forecast, while monthly PPI increased 0.5%, also missing expectations of a 1.1% gain. Core PPI, which excludes food and energy, rose 3.8% year-over-year versus expectations of 4.1%, while the monthly core reading edged up just 0.1%, compared with estimates for a 0.4% increase. The cooler-than-expected data points to moderating wholesale inflation trends, which may ease some pressure on future consumer price inflation readings. US stocks are pointing to a mixed open as investors weigh fresh developments in US-Iran talks alongside the start of a busy earnings week. Futures for the Dow Jones are slightly in the red, while S&P 500 futures are up 0.2% and those for the Nasdaq-100 have gained 0.4%. Wall Street ended Monday higher on hopes that US-Iran talks may resume and optimism around earnings. The Nasdaq rose 1.2%, the S&P 500 gained 1%, both now back above pre-conflict levels, while the Dow added 0.6%. US oil prices softened overnight and have remained flat in the early hours, with West Texas Intermediate crude down 1.4% at $97.71 a barrel, while the global Brent benchmark has edged higher in European trading. After talks with Iran broke down over the weekend, Vice President JD Vance said "the ball is in the Iranian court”, adding that President Donald Trump “would be very happy if Iran was treated like a normal country”. The comments come as markets continue to assess the fallout from the conflict, with the International Energy Agency saying that global oil supply fell by 10.1 million barrels per day in March, the largest disruption on record, and warned that demand could contract this year. Attention now turns to results from JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, BlackRock and Johnson & Johnson. JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup shares were down 0.2-0.5% in premarket trade despite beating top- and bottom-line expectations for first-quarter results. Wells Fargo was down 2.1% after a revenue miss and disclosure of $36.2 billion of exposure to private credit firms.

Deployed the mobile AirSCWO lab to Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado and tested various PFAS waste streams, also in collaboration with ESTCP. Commenced destruction of 1,000 gallons of Aqueous Film Forming Foam ("AFFF") under a contract awarded by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Collaboratory. Executed a collaboration agreement with Crystal Clean to locate 374Water's AirSCWO technology at one of its RCRA-permitted facilities to destroy various PFAS waste streams. Completed a biosolids destruction campaign for the City of Orlando, FL at the Iron Bridge Water Reclamation Facility. Signed an agreement with the City of Olathe, KS for the sale of an AirSCWO system and pre-treatment equipment with an associated service agreement for the treatment of PFAS-impacted wastewater and other waste streams. Established Waste Destruction Services ("WDS") hub at the City of Orlando's Iron Bridge Water Reclamation Facility for the destruction of PFAS wastes including AFFF, GAC & IX, and foam fractionate. Technology Validation and Continuous Improvement "Over the past several years, we have remained committed to continuous improvement. The systems being deployed today reflect not where we started, but where we believe we are going - more efficient, more scalable, and more commercially viable," Bogar shared. "We believe our technology delivers and performs at an impressive level both in terms of throughput, feedstock versatility, and destruction efficiency. Every system incorporates years of experience, testing, and validation. Our partners and customers demand excellence - and we aim to deliver." Commercial Momentum and Market Opportunity 374Water has strong demand for its AirSCWO technology in numerous applications: PFAS destruction Biosolids management Industrial waste streams Emerging contaminants and environmental liabilities "The world has a massive and ever-growing waste problem - and increasingly, stakeholders are demanding true destruction, not disposal, because of growing liabilities. Destruction is the right thing to do for society," said Bogar. Strategic Priorities for 2026 Deploy our team to Orange County Sanitation District ("OC San") in Fountain Valley, CA with the most advanced and high-performing generation of AirSCWO. Build out our WDS hub at the City of Orlando's Iron Bridge Water Reclamation Facility and begin to receive and destroy significant volumes of PFAS wastes. Deploy the mobile AirSCWO system to St. Cloud, MN to demonstrate its effectiveness in destroying PFAS-laden biosolids and other PFAS wastes. Design and scale our AirSCWO systems to handle higher volumes of slurries and liquid wastes. Engage with strategic partners, including industrial and infrastructure organizations to accelerate deployment of our AirSCWO technology across targeted verticals, value-added applications, and defined geographic markets. Capital Strategy and Shareholder Alignment "As we move forward, one of our highest priorities is aligning our capital strategy with the long-term interests of our shareholders," said Bogar. "We believe 374Water represents a differentiated and highly valuable solution to some of the world's most pressing environmental challenges. Our focus is ensuring that this value is reflected in how we operate, how we execute, and how we finance the business. Moreover, we are taking a more disciplined and strategic approach to our capital allocation." "We are committed to pursuing capital solutions that support long-term value creation and avoid unnecessary dilution wherever possible. This includes aligning capital formation with clear operational milestones, commercial traction, strategic relationships, and execution." 2025 Financial Summary For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue totaled $0.2 million, compared to $0.4 million in the prior year. The $0.2 million decrease in revenue is primarily due to a decrease in equipment revenue of $1.9 million offset by an increase in service revenues of approximately $1.7 million. The increase in service revenue is from the completion of two full-scale demonstrations, a mobile bench-scale demonstration, and one month of demonstration and wastewater processing under our City of Orlando contract. The decrease in equipment revenues is due to a change in accounting estimate associated with our contract with OC San. Due to the unexpected delays that we have encountered in delivering the equipment, we reassessed the variable consideration at December 31, 2025 included in this contract. The changes in facts and circumstances resulted in the reduction of unbilled accounts receivable and a reduction in equipment revenue of approximately $1.9 million. Total operating expenses increased 58% to $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $11.9 million for the prior year. The increase was primarily due to increases in compensation and related expenses of $3.5 million (driven by headcount growth and stock-based compensation of $1.8 million), general and administrative expenses of $2.4 million, professional fees of $0.6 million, and research and development expenses of $0.4 million. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $21.0 million, as compared with $12.4 million in the prior year. The increase in net loss was driven by the reasons discussed above. Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, were $3.2 million, compared to $10.7 million as of December 31, 2024. Working capital as of December 31, 2025 was $1.7 million, compared to $11.8 million as of December 31, 2024. Looking Ahead "We are working to build a company that delivers - safely, consistently, transparently, and with urgency," said Bogar. "We expect that as we continue to execute, strengthen our balance sheet, align with strategic partners, and bring potential customers to our hub in Orlando, the market will recognize the value of 374Water." "We believe the opportunity in front of us is significant. Our job now is to execute." About 374Water 374Water Inc.

374Water Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

GlobeNewswire
Third Quarter Revenues Increased to $0.8 Million Due to Higher Service Revenues and Expects 2025 Full Year Revenues of Approximately $4 Million Fortified Balance Sheet Including $7.0 Million ATM Facility Extends Cash Runway into Q2 2026 Management to Host Webcast and Conference Call Today at 4:30 p.m. ET DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 374Water Inc. (NASDAQ: SCWO) ("374Water" or the "Company"), a global leader in organic waste destruction technology and services for the industrial, municipal, and federal markets, today reported its financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. “The third quarter of 2025 was underscored by ongoing service deployments and the continued commercialization of our Super Critical Water Oxidation (“SCWO”) technology,” said Stephen J. Jones, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of 374Water. “For example, we successfully completed a commercial-scale waste destruction service project at Clean Earth’s Detroit, MI facility as part of a Department of Defense (“DoD”) project. For six weeks we executed per- and polyfluoroalkyl (“PFAS”) destruction of multiple concentrated waste streams at commercial Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (“TSDF”) using our AirSCWO 6 System. We also successfully deployed our AirSCWO technology to a Colorado School of Mines and DoD Environmental Security Technology Certification Program project aimed at comparing technology solutions to destroy PFAS contaminated wastes.

Olathe will utilize the AirSCWO process at its wastewater treatment facility to assess its potential as a sustainable alternative to traditional sludge management practices and disposal methods. We also recently began processing our award by the State of North Carolina for WDS to destroy AFFF utilizing AirSCWO technology. In the first phase of this waste destruction service project, we will treat 1,000 gallons of AFFF. If selected for the second phase, we could treat up to an additional 28,000 gallons of AFFF. “On the financial front, we have strengthened our balance sheet, utilizing our at-the-market facility which generated proceeds of approximately $7.0 million, extending our anticipated cash runway into the second quarter of 2026. “Looking ahead, we are focused on successful waste destruction of PFAS and other waste streams utilizing our AirSCWO system at current project deployments and accelerating the conversion of a growing pipeline of opportunities. With the recent announcements of revenue generating service and capital equipment sales, we are projecting 2026 revenue to be in the $6-8 million range. We look forward to additional milestones and announcements in the months ahead,” concluded Jones. Third Quarter 2025 Financial Summary For the third quarter of 2025, revenue totaled $760,000 compared to $81,000 in the prior year. The company’s business has been focused on the development and commercialization of its AirSCWO systems to fulfill current projects and prepare for additional revenue growth. The approximate $679,000 increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in our service revenues of approximately $643,000 from the completion of waste destruction service projects, and $36,000 in capital equipment sale revenues. Total operating expenses increased 64% to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2.8 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily owed to expanded operations including a $0.9 million increase in compensation and related expenses, an increase of $0.3 million in research and development, and an increase of $0.8 million in general and administrative expenses. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $4.3 million, as compared to$2.7 million in the prior year. Net loss increased due to continued investment in commercialization and increased operational costs. Revenue for 2025 calendar year is projected to be approximately $4 million based upon current expectation of deliverables for the fourth quarter. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025, was $0.9 million, as compared to $10.7 million as of December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, working capital was $1.9 million, compared to $4.5 million as of September 30, 2024. Based upon our current cash position, including the $7.0 million raised from the at-the-market facility, and expected billings and related collections, we project to have adequate cash to support our business plans into Q2 2026.

With that, I will now turn the call over to 374Water's Interim President and CEO and Board Director, Steve Jones.

Steven Jones

Thank you, Jim. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you all for joining us today. We very much appreciate the support, collaboration, and constructive feedback from shareholders. Your active engagement demonstrates your commitment to 374Water's mission. Before we begin, I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself to those of you whom I have not had the opportunity to meet yet. Last month, I accepted the board's request to serve as interim president and chief executive officer in addition to my role as a director of the company. As Interim CEO, I'm focused on leading the 374Water team on its continued commercialization of our proprietary supercritical water oxidation technology, or AIR SQUO, as we like to call it, and accelerating conversion of our growing pipeline of opportunities, including the further development of our waste destruction services business. My goal is to turn our immediate opportunities into profitable deals and deliver value to you, our shareholders. I was asked to assume this role due to my extensive experience as an operating executive with expertise in the waste and environmental services spaces and in the development of own and operate on-site business models employed in the industrial gas and chemical sectors, which is very similar to 374Water's waste destruction services model, which you've heard us speak about in the past. Previously, I was Chief Executive Officer of Covanta Holding Corporation. That company is now owned by private equity and renamed ReWorld Waste. ReWorld is a world leader in developing, building, owning, and operating waste facilities and providing environmental and clean tech services. I led Covanta through a rapid growth phase focused on owning and operating waste destruction facilities and acquiring environmental services companies providing waste and wastewater services to third-party customers. Prior to that, I was with Air Products, which was an early adopter in owning and operating on-site facilities at customer locations globally, a model which will be an important part of 374Water's strategy going forward. This role with 374Water is an opportunity to step into a company that I firmly believe has significant value creation potential and incredible demand for facilities and services. I appreciate the board's confidence, and I'm excited to lead the 374Water team on this journey. With that, let's jump in. As many of you know, 374Water is an industrial technology and services company providing innovative solutions for the destruction of solid and liquid organic waste across the industrial, municipal, and federal markets. Waste like PFAS, the forever chemical, our airflow technology is designed to efficiently destroy a broad spectrum of non-hazardous and hazardous organic waste, producing safe, dischargeable water streams, safe mineral, safe net gas, and recoverable heat energy in the process. It has the potential to assist our customers in meeting discharge requirements, reducing or eliminating disposal costs, and reducing other risks. Our flexible strategy includes several commercial options for our customers. First, the provision of waste destruction services, or we sometimes like to call WDS. I think of this as the own and operate business model I spoke about in the industrial gas industry a few minutes ago. Second, we get involved in capital sale of equipment to our customers. And third, potential lease options that would include the opportunity for 374Water to also provide long-term operating and maintenance services to our customers. So this is another form of recurring revenues. I want to be clear, and I have to be clear with our business development team on this issue. I prefer the waste destruction services model as it produces stable, recurring revenues and higher EBITDA margins for 374Water. We're targeting the waste treatment market, which, including the destruction of PFAS and other frack or chemicals, is roughly $450 billion. Most companies couldn't even imagine an addressable market of that size. It presents a significant growth opportunity for us over the next few years. The size of the market and the urgency related to dealing with issues like PFAS destruction creates significant demand for our facilities and services and should generate a strong profitable revenue stream for the company for the foreseeable future. Moving on to our operational highlights and business update, I'd like to discuss some of the team's many accomplishments. During the third quarter, we signed a waste destruction services collaboration agreement with Crystal Clean, a leading provider of environmental and waste management solutions. We're excited about working with Crystal Clean at their Oregon, Ohio location as we introduce our waste destruction services business at a transfer of storage and disposal facility. These are a lot of times you'll hear these. They're called TSDF facilities in the industry. We expect our waste destruction services business to address growing across the wide array of market verticals and waste streams. And this agreement serves as a model for future collaborations to create a network of TSDF partnerships with companies like Crystal Clean and other similar companies that work in this space. We expect that this is the first of many similar arrangements in the industrial waste space, as this is a large market segment that is underserved. In Q3, we successfully deployed our AIRSPRO technology to a Colorado School of Mines and Department of Defense project aimed at comparing technology solutions for the destruction of PFAS contaminated waste. We treat PFAS impact sediment from the Peterson Space Force Base. We believe this initiative demonstrates our ability to destroy PFAS impacted waste streams as a treatment option for DOD installation. Note, we're awaiting the final report on this project so we can provide additional technical details to the marketplace. We also successfully completed a commercial scale field demonstration at Clean Harbors' Detroit facility as part of a DOD project. For six weeks, we executed PFAS destruction of multiple concentrated waste streams at a commercial PSCF site using an AirSplug six unit. Once again demonstrating the effectiveness, scalability, and versatility of our technology. This project represented a major step forward in our effort to provide the DOD with commercial PFAS treatment options for a variety of scenarios and waste types. We expect this project to open up a number of DoD projects for us in the future. More recently, we secured an order from the city of Olathe, Kansas for the sale and employment of an Airscope six unit and the related pretreatment and dewatering system. Olathe will use the airscope process at its wastewater treatment facility and assess its potential as a sustainable alternative to traditional sludge management practices and disposal methods, like landfill application and landfill disposal, which are becoming more difficult to utilize for these types of customers. Olathe will deploy the system to treat various waste streams over a six-month period, after which they will determine the potential to further scale 374Water's technology at their facility. We recently began processing an award by the state of North Carolina for waste destruction services to destroy Inquist, film forming foam, or better known as AFFF in the market, utilizing our airflow technology. In the first phase, and we're in this process now, we'll process a thousand gallons of AFFF from North Carolina. And as I mentioned, we're doing that now. If selected for the second phase, we could treat up to an additional 28,000 gallons of AFFF. With millions of gallons of AFFF in the US, and even more globally, if you think about Europe, needing to be eliminated or destroyed, this award is an opportunity to show the market that our technology can be the solution for AFFF liability and returns that are advantageous to the company. As you know from prior calls, we are preparing for our AirSquope six system deployment to the Orange County Sanitation District, or OCSAN, in California. And we expect to complete our factory acceptance test in the fourth quarter. We continue to be focused on late Q4 2025 or early Q1 2026 to start up this unit. We have undertaken certain system upgrades to the Airflow six unit over the last month or so to improve system performance and ensure our successful completion of the factory acceptance test. Things like improving our waste reactor and our aerosol unit and adding a heating block to the process, all of which will lead to improved performance and throughput for the AirSlow six unit. OCSAN is firmly committed to working together with 374Water on the evolution of aerosol technology to address their ongoing treatment needs. Also note that during the quarter, we took several initiatives to strengthen our balance sheet and support long-term shareholder value. Most recently, we fortified our balance sheet from our at-the-market or ATM facility, which resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $7 million, extending our cash runway into 2026. Also note that certain officers and directors purchased shares of 374Water in the open market in the third quarter, further evidencing their positive view of the company. Talk about hitting two very important milestones that will greatly impact revenue in 2026. The commencement of the first phase of our award by the state of North Carolina, pursuant to which we will be providing waste destruction services related to AFFF, and the sale of their spoke six unit to the city of Olathe. I believe that both of these awards provide validation to our alternative business models, whether waste destruction services, a capital sales equipment, or a lease of an air squirrel unit to a customer. Taken together, along with our anticipated start-up at OCSAN, we now have a line of sight towards 2026 revenue that is expected to be in the $6 to $8 million range. That is a 50% to 100% increase over our expected 2024 revenues. And, you know, that this does not include additional opportunities in our pipeline that we're working on to monetize during fiscal year 2026. So I believe we're setting ourselves up for a very successful 2026. Finally, on a more personal note, I'd like to formally welcome Jim Siccardi, who is on his first 374Water earnings call. He was our Senior Vice President of Investor Relations. Jim has been in investor relations for over twenty years and has focused his entire career on driving shareholder value, strategic growth, and market expansion within the energy, natural resource, and industrial sectors. Jim is an expert at developing relationships with investors and will work to raise awareness of 374Water and our related market opportunities. Expect to hear more from Jim as we further advance our business plans at 374Water in 2026. Now with that, I'll turn the call over to Russell.

Russell Kline

Thank you, Steve. As Steve mentioned, we are aggressively pursuing our three-pronged business strategy: waste destruction services, capital sale equipment, or lease of equipment based on customer business needs. Based on internal assumptions and modeling, we estimate our mobile AIR Squad one unit has the potential to generate more than $2 million in annual revenue as the mobile fleet will generate higher tipping fees due to the nature of on-site waste destruction services. We will naturally increase the size of this mobile fleet as the market expands. Also based on our internal assumptions and modeling, we estimate our air SCO six unit has the potential to generate $3 to $5 million in recurring annual revenues with attractive operating margins. We plan to initially utilize the AERSQL six units at TSDFs to provide waste destruction services. We also plan to utilize a modular solution in building these types of air school units in order to both lower our capital cost and be quicker in delivering these units to our customers. Once ready, we plan to utilize AirSquad 30 units at TSDF partner facilities to dramatically increase our waste destruction capacity, decrease operating costs, and increase revenues. It's important to note the revenues I just highlighted are based on non-hazardous waste tipping fees. We expect that tipping fees associated with processing hazardous waste with our AirSquare units will be materially higher and will increase returns on these assets. We are excited about the waste destruction service opportunity to drive shareholder value. For 2025, revenue increased to $760,000 compared to $81,000 in the prior year. Our business has been focused on the development and commercialization of our AirScore units to fulfill ongoing projects. Revenue generated was primarily from waste destruction services. The approximate $679,000 increase is primarily due to an increase in our service revenues of approximately $643,000 from the completion of waste destruction service projects and $36,000 in equipment capital revenue. Total operating expenses increased 64% to $4.6 million for the three months ended 09/30/2025 compared to $2.8 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to a material increase in commercial activities, including deployments and projects to be delivered. We are focusing our resources on the manufacturing and operations side of our business from a cost standpoint. There was a $900,000 increase in compensation and related expenses, an increase of $300,000 in research development, and an increase of $800,000 in general and administrative expenses. Net loss for the three months ended 09/30/2025 was $4.3 million as compared with $2.7 million in the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents as of 09/30/2025 was $900,000 as compared to $10.7 million as of 12/31/2024. As of 09/30/2025, working capital was $1.9 million compared to $4.5 million as of 09/30/2024. In September, the company entered into a $600,000 short-term promissory note, which we expect to repay in January 2026. Based upon our current cash position, including the $7 million raised from the ATM facility that Steve mentioned earlier, and expected billings and related collections, we project adequate cash to support our business plans into Q2 2026. To deliver on the planned business growth, we will require additional capital and are actively pursuing additional capital raising opportunities to fund waste destruction services and our strategic growth initiatives. The company is currently actively engaged with potential investors and possible strategic partners to fund these capital needs. Looking to the remainder of 2025, our revenue projection is $4 million based upon year-to-date activity and expected project milestones for the fourth quarter. As discussed, we have completed our DIU project and our Petersen Space Force Base DoD work, which were both recognized in Q3. Importantly, we continue to make progress in our Orlando biosolids destruction project and our OCCN factory acceptance test and deployment to California. In addition, as noted earlier, we have begun processing the North Carolina AFFF at our facility in Orlando. Finally, we expect to recognize a portion of the revenue related to the capital sale of equipment to Olathe later this year. Based on current and anticipated future demand, and the fact that we are beginning to convert our commercial pipeline into actionable backlog, we project revenue to be in the range of $6 to $8 million in calendar 2026 with growth in both waste destruction services and capital sale of equipment. One final item I would like to highlight: The company recently filed a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the company's upcoming special meeting of shareholders to be held on 12/15/2025. The purpose of the special meeting is to request that stockholders approve amendments to the company's certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock. As many of you know, in July 2025, we filed a Form 8-K highlighting for investors that the company's stock listed on Nasdaq had been trading for less than $1 per share for more than thirty consecutive trading days and, therefore, the company was not in compliance with the bid price requirement of the NASDAQ listing rules. The company must regain compliance by 01/12/2026. The company's goal is to meet the NASDAQ requirement by executing on normal business operations, but if we are not successful, the board felt it was appropriate to request shareholder approval to effect a reverse stock split at the board's discretion to ensure that we maintain our Nasdaq listing. If the reverse stock split is approved and we maintain a trading price above $1 for at least ten consecutive trading days, then we expect to maintain our listing on NASDAQ. The board of directors of 374Water believes it's important to remain listed as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq. Among other things, our Nasdaq listing will greatly increase the company's access to capital markets, like use of our ATM, which has been important to our ability to obtain sufficient working capital to finance our ongoing operations. A reverse stock split will also improve trading liquidity by increasing the price per share of our common stock, which could enable a broader range of institutions, which may have a minimum level of price restriction, to be able to add 374Water to their portfolios. It also allows the company to potentially pursue alternative financing options as we grow our business. The board and management team remain fully confident in 374Water's long-term prospects and view this measure as one of several potential steps to strengthen the company and position it for future growth. I will now hand the call back to Steve for his closing comments. Thank you.

Steven Jones

Thanks, Russell. I appreciate it. I've been asked by many of you where I'll focus my attention in the immediate future. And I think there's two specific areas I'd like to drive improvement. First, I believe we need to continually improve on the throughput of our airflow unit. The ability of our airflow technology to effectively destroy PFAS is well known now in the marketplace. However, as a company, we need to continue to drive improvement by using tools many other larger companies use, like Lean Six Sigma, so we can process more PFAS materials through our units. We're spending a great deal of time and energy improving in this area right now and are currently making several important upgrades for our escrow units. As I noted previously, we've had great results with the destruction efficiency. A lot of times, it's nondetectable or 99.999% destroyed. And now we need to go up that continuous improvement curve as it relates to throughput, making sure that we can process increased volumes of materials. Higher throughput means higher EBITDA margins. Second, we need to focus our resources. We're not a very large company. We have about 50 employees or so at this stage. And as I've said, there's a vast market for destruction of PFAS and other very organic waste out there in the marketplace. So we need to focus our business development efforts on those opportunities that have the highest likelihood of success and the greatest return on capital for our shareholders. I'll be spending my time working with the business development team, and I started it already, to focus on those opportunities where we could be most successful and get the highest returns. Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with one of the employees on a trip down to our Orlando facilities. It was very exciting. I was really impressed with the talent and the passion of our team. And they're very dedicated to making 2026 revenue in that $6 million to $8 million range on a combination of waste destruction services and capital sale of equipment to our customers. This is a 50% to 100% increase in revenues over our current 2025 revenue expectations. So we're growing fast.

If you would like to ask a question, please press star then 1 on your telephone keypad. You may press star and then 2. The first question that we have comes from Rob Brown of Lake Street Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Rob Brown

Good afternoon, and congratulations on all the progress. Thank you. Maybe first on the TSDF facilities, you've got the first one kind of going now. How is the pipeline in that segment? I know it's a large segment. What are sort of the steps to getting that pipeline going? And I assume it's one of the main areas that is worth focusing on. But what's the pipeline there?

Steven Jones

Yeah. So there's a lot of TSDF facilities in the US. And then also many, many more material processing facilities. TSDF is so I operated a few of the I've I operated a lot of these when I was at ReWorld. Yes. Yeah. Basically, deals with recra, so hazardous waste material. And so we're in discussions with a number, maybe a majority, I'd say, of the TSDF operators in the US right now about putting airflow units on their site. And so Crystal Clean was the first one. We have discussions underway with others. And I've and I know a lot of the operators since I operated in this space. So I've reached out to my network to see who's interested in utilizing our technology to destroy PFAS. There's not a lot of good options that are out there at this point in our technology. Like I said, is very efficient in destruction. And so we're going through that process now. So business development team and I've been kind of riding them recently. Is I've been making sure that they're following up with the various TSDS owners across the US and seeing who wants to partner with us in this process. Ultimately, I see us as a TSDS being a host customer. And, again, it's a lot like the industrial gas business model. The own and operate on-site business model. Where we're gonna put one of our units on their site. They'll probably have some access to the unit for their own PFAS needs. And then we'll also bring PFAS in from, let's say, the federal government Department of Defense, AFFF, for example, and we'll process AFFF through the air squirrel unit. So, like I said, there's a number of opportunities that are out there. And that's in the hazardous side. On the nonhazardous side, as companies and, again, there's you know, it's there's public companies like Clean Harbors, for example, and there's a lot of companies out there that play in the space as a ReWorld, my old company, as they start to look at how they're gonna destroy nonhazardous material, they can also use our airscope technology at these material process facilities. And there are a lot of those in the US. I mean, it's a very large market. So that's what we're going through right now. We're basically looking at the various leads. And as I said, what I really wanna focus on is those opportunities that are close to seeing and it will lead to the highest internal rate of returns. So return on capital for our shareholders.

Rob Brown

Okay, excellent. And then I guess second question on the North Carolina contract. I know you're doing the first phase, but how is that phasing set up and what's the timeline on sort of the second larger phase?

Steven Jones

So the first phase is about tons or excuse me, thousand gallons of AFFF. We're in the process of putting that through the unit now. We started that last week. Or two weeks into it. Once that's processed, North Carolina is and they have representatives from UNC. I think also NC State. Who are out periodically at our facility and they're taking samples and doing various technical readings. They'll take that back and start to get some thought to how they get rid of the 28,000 additional gallons that they want to process. So that's how it'll play out. I'm not sure exactly what the timing of their decision-making will be. But like I said, we're in the process now of destroying AFFF, and it's working well.

Rob Brown

Great. And I guess last question on the '26 outlook, good growth there. How do you sort of see the mix of business in that number between the Waste Services and the Capital sale?

Russell Kline

So why don't you answer that? You're probably closer to the mix. In 2026. Thanks, Steve. And, Rob, thank you for joining us in a few questions. For 2026, we have a mix between our launch and expansion with waste destruction services and then the capital sale that we recently announced for Kansas as well as expected capital sale for another project that we have out for bid. And then as Steven mentioned earlier, there are other opportunities that we are actively pursuing that we would look to build into 2026 as we continue to progress in those discussions.

Steven Jones

And I brought this up. Sorry to jump in. I brought this up a services business. So waste destruction services business is gonna provide higher EBITDA margins and then ultimately a valuation for the company. It does require more capital because you own and operate the asset. Sale of capital equipment will bring in cash more quickly. But it doesn't if you got to sell and the sale of equipment business, which I've run in both of these types of businesses in my career, at both Air Products and also at Covanta slash now ReWorld. A simple equipment business, you got to sell equipment every year. And the margins aren't as high, and the valuation of sales for the company is not as high either. So, ultimately, my vision is we push this company towards waste destruction services. But we will meet the customer where they sit. Because there are certain customers you think about municipalities that are gonna want to own their own asset. And in those cases, I think the play is and we wanna have an O&M agreement, an operating and maintenance agreement, operate the equipment for them, maintain the equipment for them, much like, if you remember GE's turbine business. Right? You bought the Turbine, but you signed up for a services agreement. And so that's my vision on if we go down the sales route, how we get more recurring revenues with customers who actually own the equipment versus my preferred case, which is, 374Water owns and operates these airflow units.

Rob Brown

Okay. Great. Thank you. I'll turn it over.

Steven Jones

Thank you. Appreciate the questions. Thank you.

Operator

The next question we have comes from Michael Matheson of Sidoti. Please go ahead.

Michael Matheson

Congratulations on the revenue you got.

Steven Jones

Thanks, Michael. Appreciate that. We've been working hard. We've been working hard. So coming back to waste destruction as a service, because I tend to agree with you that that's gonna be a much higher source of profit for the company going forward. Can you just give us a little bit of detail on the Crystal Clean deal, particularly the revenue sharing agreements, things like that?

Steven Jones

So I am reluctant to provide commercial terms on our earnings calls. I will tell you about the deal, but I prefer not to get into details. Because I don't want my competitors to know what that or future deals, those we do deals with, to know what the terms and conditions are. This is my view on a waste destruction services project. We're gonna have a host customer, and in this case, it's Crystal Clean. And as the host customer, they deserve some benefit. And they can take it in a lease payment, and they can take it in a revenue share, or they should take it in lower cost to utilize the Airstream unit. And I talked to another I talked recently to another TSDF operator who has multiple sites along the same lines. And so I'm indifferent in how they wanna take their host fee, if you will. But that's how it'll play out. It'll be one of those three buckets. It's a bag of money. And however they wanna take it is fine by us. Ultimately, what we need is a site where we can bring in our own PFAS-laden material and think mostly, the government trying to get rid of their AFFF. There's a large, large market there, and I mentioned it during my prepared remarks, whether it's in the US or even outside the US, there's a large market there. So to the extent that we can bring AFFF in and process it at an air squirrel unit at a host site, is gonna be, I think, very valuable to us. So that's how those deals are gonna be structured. They're very much like industrial gas business. And I mentioned I spent a number of years at Air Products. We call these types of deals piggyback deals, which was basically, we put our facility on a customer site. They took some of the output from the facility. We took some of the output from the facility. It's the same concept here. And if you look at returns in those types of business, EBITDA margins are much higher than sale equipment and the company valuations, and you guys should all can run them. Valuation model on Air Products and look what it trades for. On a PE basis. Those types of companies are much more highly valued in the marketplace than a simple sale of equipment company.

Michael Matheson

Great. Thank you. Just looking to the growth of 374Water going forward, you mentioned you have about 50 employees now. How many of those are salespeople?

Steven Jones

So this is a great question because I just asked this question. Again, I'm new. So I asked this question the other day. 80% of our employees fall into I'll call it, market-facing, organizations. Okay. 80% of the employees, and this includes both number of employees and the cost of the employees. Because I think there's been a view out there that we're somehow top-heavy or our burn rate's too high. But 80% of employees are focused on either operations, manufacturing, R&D, or business development. Which shows you that we are focused on delivering into the marketplace. Right now, I say on a business development standpoint, and I'd like to add a few people here, we probably have about seven business developers that are out there trying to sell our technology. I think we could probably use a few more to penetrate the market faster. Is my personal view.

Michael Matheson

Great. Thank you. Very helpful. My last question just looks to your 2026 guidance. It looks to me that in Q3 year-to-date, you've hit breakeven gross margin essentially. When I did some back-of-the-envelope arithmetic, it looked like the midpoint of your revenue guidance, about $7 million, that might be pretty close to hitting operating income breakeven for 2026. Does that feel feasible, or would we be better to look to 2027?

Steven Jones

So a lot depends on the pace of the rollout of the technology in the business plan. You know, as you know and I've mentioned this. It's a very large amenable market. There's a lot of possible deals. And we're gaining traction, and that's why we spent a lot of time on this call already talking about the several types of business models and deals that we were able to land already. The pace of these contractual arrangements and the type of deals we undertake will have a big impact on that timing you're asking about. Also, as we load up our manufacturing and operation and I just mentioned 80% of the people working that market-facing group. So as we sell more units or we do more waste destruction services, that fixed cost there will get loaded up higher. And that will all positively affect the overall timing of when we go cash flow positive. So I think it's tough to say right now. I think from where I sit today, I hope would be that we become cash flow positive in the 2027 time frame. But it's a tough question to answer at this juncture. But you can see how I'm thinking about it. We gotta load up our system with more and more deals. And that's why I've said I'm focusing the business development team on deals that are closer in and have a higher return on capital for our shareholders.

Michael Matheson

Great. Thank you. That's all very helpful. So I'll just wish you good luck for next quarter. Thanks again.

Steven Jones

Thanks. I appreciate that.

Operator

Thank you. There are no further questions on the conference call. We will now turn to the webcast questions.

Russell Kline

First webcast question asked can you provide us some additional color on the third quarter performance by 374Water?

Steven Jones

Sure. Yes. The sales are accelerating very nicely. I think you've picked that up in my prepared remarks. Year over year, or I should say quarter over quarter. So quarter three 2024 versus quarter three 2025. Revenues were up significantly, but admittedly off a low base. With that in mind, we're confident in meeting this 2025 revenue target of approximately $4 million. And that's I think that's really good performance by the team. You saw me introduce 2026 guidance. Which is funny because we had a discussion. But normally, I wouldn't, you know, other times I've done this, other public companies that I've run. I wouldn't get guidance this early. But I thought being a new CEO and from what I've seen so far, it probably makes sense to give the guidance at this time of the year. So the guidance of $6 to $8 million of revenues for 2026, that range think that range is very good. It's 50% to 100% higher than our expected 2025 revenues. So I think this shows investors that we believe our technology is taking hold. And the customers are valuing our offering. So we're getting really good traction in the marketplace. I won't go through what I did in the prepared remarks, which was these various deals. I think I was already clear that, you know, my preference would be to have more of a service business than a sale of equipment business. For obvious reasons because returns are higher. And you'll see me pushing in that direction as we move forward. I just think that's a more valuable we'll get a higher multiple in the marketplace with a service-based deal than a sale of equipment-based deal. So it's all very promising, I think, and a very promising sign to investors that things are moving in the right direction. We also had another recent deal that we won. I'm gonna be a little coy like I was last I spoke previously to some folks about this. We're gonna have a press release coming out, so I don't wanna say a lot about that. But we have another deal that we were awarded over the weekend and we'll be announcing that in the near term. So again, I've been pleased with what I've seen so far as we take what is a very large pipeline of opportunities and start to turn that into revenues and then ultimately, EBITDA.

Russell Kline

Our second webcast question asks, you've been interim CEO for a little over a month. Do you have any additional observations other than what you've spoken to previously or on this call?

Steven Jones

Sure. I think first off, we have a first-class team of employees. And I mentioned, I think they're really dedicated in making 374Water a success. Focused on ensuring our technology is effective in the destruction of organic by PFAS. And we've had amazing, extraordinarily good destructive results so far. Also note, I think there's some confusion in this area, and I mentioned this a little bit already, is that we're trying to focus most of our resources on that market-facing part of the organization. And I mentioned that a little bit already. We're also focused on continuous improvement. I mentioned Lean Six Sigma. I'm a green belt from my Air Products days. And that's I think that's a good tool to be able to drive additional throughput through our airflow units. And one of the things that we've been doing over the last couple of weeks is making some changes to our reactors in order to drive more throughput through this reactor. So we made some changes to our reactor. We got a heating block in one case. In order to be able to increase the throughput through those units. More throughput, as I said earlier, means more EBITDA. And so that's a key observation I've had so far that we have to do better in that area. So I think that they're the main points that I'd like to bring up. I will say that around pricing, this is a new market. And so we're undertaking a pricing study now. We're just getting ready to kick that off. So that we can develop an economic model. And we've started to put the economic model together that allows us to toggle or alter a number of factors related to value, like pricing, so that we can get the highest internal rate of returns on our project. And so in short, I want to focus on those projects that are bringing the greatest value to our shareholders. And at the same time, as I said, focusing on continuous improvement, particularly around making sure that our units the throughput in our units continues to increase as time goes on.

Russell Kline

And our last webcast question asks, what is your view of the PFAS destruction market?

Steven Jones

Well, it's a massive market. As we've talked about. The waste destruction market alone is $450 billion, and most companies would be jealous of that kind of amenable market. And PFAS is part of that market. And then second, there are verticals within that market, and there are solutions or business models for different verticals. So if you think about industrial wastewater players like Crystal Clean, or Clean Harbors, or Reolia, or ReWorld, which is my prior firm, and dozens of other players in this space, they can all be customers of 374Water. They collect liquid waste from their customers. That's what I did when I was at ReWorld. And we needed a vehicle to disrupt or destroy the organics like PFAS. So that's one vertical, and it's a big vertical. But then there's also another massive vertical, which is the municipal market. Customers we've been actively involved with already, like the Orlando water reclamation folks. And OC Sand. Or the new project for wastewater treatment plant in Olathe, Kansas. You can look at our recent press release around that. These customers have biosolids and sludges that contain PFAS. And they need to deal with the issue. Their previous solution was putting the stuff on the land, and there's a lot of legislation now coming out that prevents that from happening. And so we have a solution for them, and we're talking to many of the municipalities in that vertical. And then finally, the federal, state, and local governments all have large stockpiles of AFFF. And they cannot use that material anymore for firefighting, and it's gotta be destroyed. And so there's a large market here, and I've mentioned Europe, probably also even Asia. We haven't even explored Asia yet. That have similar PFAS issues that need to be addressed. And there aren't many folks out there like us that have a technology that has such effective destruction. And can be used to deal with these three different verticals. So one of the things I'm doing with our business development team, and somebody asked this question earlier, is we're getting a lot more organized around those three verticals. And the pricing may differ in those verticals. And that's why I'm going through a pricing exercise now to figure out what's the right pricing in each of those verticals and what does our competitive landscape look like. And again, driving so that we get the highest returns that we can on our airflow technology so that we drive up our multiple for our customers. Actually, the multiple for our investors. Sorry.
