| LIQUIDITY | 2. LIQUIDITY The Company has not recorded revenue from its graphite operations, and as such, Westwater is subject to all the risks associated with a development-stage company. Management expects to continue to incur cash losses to further advance the Coosa Graphite Deposit, to continue construction activity at the Kellyton Graphite Plant and for general and administrative expenses until operations commence at the Kellyton Graphite Plant. Operations at the Kellyton Graphite Plant are dependent on securing the additional funding needed to complete construction of Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and through the date that these Interim Financial Statements were issued, the Company continued construction activities related to the Kellyton Graphite Plant. However, the construction activities have been significantly reduced from anticipated levels until additional funding is secured to advance Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant. The Company’s construction-related contracts include termination provisions at the Company’s election that do not obligate the Company to make payments beyond what is incurred by the third-party service provider, including purchases of long lead equipment, through the date of such termination. On March 31, 2026, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $41.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company sold 1.0 million shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $1.2 million pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has approximately $70.6 million remaining available for future sales under the ATM Sales Agreement and approximately $26.2 million remaining available for future sales under the 2024 Lincoln Park PA, subject to certain limitations contained within the Convertible Notes. See Note 7 Stockholders’ Equity for further details regarding the Company’s equity financing agreements. While the Company has advanced its business plan and has been successful in the past raising funds through equity and debt financings, as well as through the sale of non-core assets, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, or on terms acceptable to the Company. Recent volatility in the equity and debt capital markets, higher interest rates, inflation, electric vehicle production and adoption rates, uncertain economic conditions and regulatory policy and enforcement, tariff policy and import/export restrictions, and unstable geopolitical conditions, could significantly impact the Company’s ability to access the necessary funding to advance its business plan. The Company’s ability to raise additional funds under the ATM Sales Agreement and the 2024 Lincoln Park PA may be limited by the Company’s market capitalization, share price and trading volume. Management believes the Company’s current cash balance is sufficient to fund its planned non-discretionary expenditures beyond a year after the date that these Interim Financial Statements were issued.
