Terrestrial Energy Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results

Key Highlights & Potential Share Price Movers

• Texas A&M University Selection: Texas A&M University has chosen Terrestrial Energy to deploy a full-sized commercial Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) plant at its RELLIS campus. This deployment, after a competitive sector-wide evaluation, positions Terrestrial’s IMSR among the first Generation IV commercial reactors on the ERCOT grid. The project offers a strong platform for accelerating IMSR development to commercial operations and will likely attract significant investor attention due to its pioneering status.
• Strategic Collaboration with Ameresco: Terrestrial Energy expanded its commercial reach across the U.S. via partnership with Ameresco, Inc., a leading energy solutions provider with robust federal procurement capabilities. This collaboration unlocks new site opportunities and supports IMSR plant development, especially for early commercial operations and integration with other energy systems (e.g., natural gas), targeting data center energy supply resilience. This may have positive implications for future revenue streams and market expansion.
• Regulatory Progress: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has accepted Terrestrial Energy’s Topical Report on IMSR Principal Design Criteria, including inherent reactor power control for load-following applications. This is a significant step toward licensing readiness for IMSR plant construction and operation, potentially de-risking the path to commercialization.
• DOE Pilot Program Awards: Terrestrial Energy received two “O” awards from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE): one for the Advanced Reactor Pilot Program (TETRA project) and one for the Fuel Line Pilot Program (TEFLA project). These awards support accelerated IMSR licensing, commercial operation, and fuel supply, indicating strong U.S. government validation of the company’s technology and commercial strategy.
• Graphite Irradiation & Supplier Selection: The company entered the final phase of its reactor graphite irradiation and supplier selection program at NRG PALLAS’ High Flux Reactor in the Netherlands. These tests are crucial for graphite grade qualification and IMSR licensing, further de-risking technical challenges.
• Business Combination and Capital Raise: Terrestrial Energy completed its merger with HCM II Acquisition Corp. and raised over \$292 million in gross proceeds. The company now trades on Nasdaq under the ticker IMSR, with a substantially strengthened balance sheet.
• Manufacturing & Supply Chain Readiness: The company signed a manufacturing and supply contract with Westinghouse, enhancing supply-chain readiness for U.S. commercialization. Senior leadership has been expanded to deepen federal engagement.

Financial Performance and Capital Structure

• Net Loss: The company posted a net loss of \$28 million for 2025, up \$17 million from 2024. The increase is driven by:
  • \$5 million higher R&D spend (materials testing, graphite qualification)
  • \$10 million increase in G&A expenses (legal, accounting, personnel, stock-based compensation)
  • \$2 million increase in interest expense (higher debt balances and amortization)
• Liquidity: As of December 31, 2025, Terrestrial held approximately \$298 million in cash and short-term investments.
• Shares Outstanding: 105.8 million shares are issued and outstanding, including 81.8 million common shares and 24 million exchangeable shares (exchangeable one-for-one).
• Balance Sheet: Total assets increased sharply to \$303 million from \$5.3 million in 2024, reflecting merger financing and capital raises. Liabilities dropped to \$7.6 million from \$18.8 million, and stockholders’ equity swung from a deficit (-\$13.5 million) to positive \$295.4 million.

Operational & Commercial Outlook for 2026

• The company will provide updates on anticipated 2026 milestones, including commercial, regulatory, and development progress, in its earnings call.
• Strong momentum is expected as Terrestrial aligns key program elements to deploy IMSR plants at scale and deliver reliable, clean energy to industrial markets.

Business Model & Technology

Terrestrial Energy is developing Generation IV nuclear plants using proprietary IMSR technology. Their plants are designed to be small, modular, and capital-efficient, using standard-assay low-enriched uranium. IMSR plants are versatile for industrial heat and electricity and can be customized for dual-use applications, including petrochemical synthesis and data centers. Deployment will support clean, firm heat and power, grid reliability, and economic growth.

Risks & Forward-Looking Statements

• Risks: Key risks include development and manufacturing delays, regulatory hurdles, supply chain constraints, competition from other advanced reactors, cost inflation, compliance with hazardous material laws, changes in market and political conditions, funding needs, and potential legal proceedings.
• Investors should carefully consider these risks, as outlined in SEC filings, and understand that forward-looking statements may not materialize as anticipated.

Conference Call Details

Terrestrial Energy will host an earnings call at 8:30 a.m. ET. Investors can access the webcast at ir.terrestrialenergy.com or dial in for the conference. A replay will be available until April 13, 2026.
