NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Interim Financial Statements”) for Westwater Resources, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. The Interim Financial Statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which are of a normal, recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other period including the full year ending December 31, 2026.

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within our Annual Report.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date” (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2025-01 amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 improves financial reporting by requiring companies to disclose additional information about certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 June 30, 2026, and through the date that these Interim Financial Statements were issued, the Company continued construction activities related to the Kellyton Graphite Plant. We are progressing construction activities at the Kellyton Graphite Plant at a measured level as we continue to secure additional funding to complete the project. 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.

Table of Contents

On June 30, 2026, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $38.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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. 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 and the extension or replacement of the 2024 Lincoln Park PA, which expires in October 2026.

3. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company had the following components within the “Property, plant and equipment” line item on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:


		Net Book Value of Property, Plant and Equipment at June 30, 2026
(thousands of dollars)		Alabama			Corporate			Total
Mineral rights and properties		$	8,972		$	—		$	8,972
Buildings			3,063			—			3,063
Other property, plant and equipment			4,041			8			4,049
Construction in progress			128,462			—			128,462
Total		$	144,538		$	8		$	144,546


		Net Book Value of Property, Plant and Equipment at December 31, 2025
(thousands of dollars)		Alabama			Corporate			Total
Mineral rights and properties		$	8,972		$	—		$	8,972
Buildings			3,122			—			3,122
Other property, plant and equipment			4,360			10			4,370
Construction in progress			126,729			—			126,729
Total		$	143,183		$	10		$	143,193

Construction in Progress

Construction in progress represents assets that are not ready for service or are in the construction stage. Assets are depreciated based on the estimated useful life of the asset once it is placed in service.

Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, no events or changes in circumstances are believed to have impacted recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets. Accordingly, it was determined that no interim impairment was necessary. As discussed in Note 2 Liquidity, if the Company is required to abandon construction and development or alter its intended long-term plans related to the Kellyton Graphite Plant, the Company could be required to evaluate the recoverability of its long-lived assets.

4. CONVERTIBLE NOTES

On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into the June Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors under which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a registered public offering directly to the investors, convertible notes for an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Series A-1 Convertible Notes”).

On August 7, 2025, the Company entered into the August Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors under which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a registered public offering directly to the investors, convertible notes for an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Series B-1 Convertible Notes”).

The Convertible Notes and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes were offered and sold pursuant to prospectus supplements filed on August 7, 2025 and June 13, 2025 as a “takedown” from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3.

The Company elected the Fair Value Option for the Convertible Notes (see Note 5 Fair Value Measurements for more details).

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized other expense of approximately $0.1 million and other income of approximately $0.2 million, respectively, related to changes in fair values of the Series A-1 Convertible Notes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized other income of approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to changes in fair values of the Series B-1 Convertible Notes.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized other expense of approximately $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, related to conversions of the Series B-1 Convertible Notes. There were no conversions of the Series A-1 Convertible Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Subsequent to June 30, 2026, and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Convertible Notes, the Company voluntarily redeemed the entire outstanding Convertible Notes for approximately $2.4 million in cash.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Consequently, such financial instruments are not included in the following tables.

Total current assets (liabilities), net recorded at fair value	$	48,395		$	—		$	(5,973)		$	42,422

The fair value of the Convertible Notes is considered Level 3 as the Company considers unobservable inputs related to the probability of the occurrence of certain contingent conversion and redemption features in its determination of fair value, and unobservable inputs related to potential changes in the Company’s future stock prices based on a binomial lattice pricing model. Changes in those unobservable inputs could significantly impact the estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes.

The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, were computed using the following assumptions:


	June 30, 2026
	Series A-1 Convertible Notes		Series B-1 Convertible Notes
Expected volatility	103.1%		101.6%
Expected dividend rate	—		—
Risk-free interest rate	3.97%		4.00%

	Series A-1 Convertible Notes		Series B-1 Convertible Notes
Expected volatility	104.2%		99.6%
Expected dividend rate	—		—
Risk-free interest rate	3.48%		3.47%

The Company did not make any transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

As of June 30, 2026, the remaining principal balance for the Series A-1 Convertible Notes and Series B-1 Convertible Notes were approximately $1.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. However, subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company voluntarily redeemed the entire outstanding Convertible Notes for approximately $2.4 million in cash.

The net carrying amounts of the liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, are summarized as follows:

Losses and gains on Convertible Notes related to conversions and changes in fair value, respectively, were recognized as “Non-Operating Income (Expenses)” within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as the losses were unrelated to instrument specific credit risk. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company issued approximately 2.7 million and 5.4 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock to settle approximately $1.2 million and $2.9 million of the net carrying amount, respectively related to the Convertible Notes.

ATM Financing with H.C. Wainwright

On August 30, 2024, the Company entered into an ATM Sales Agreement with H.C. Wainwright to sell shares of its Common Stock (the “ATM Shares”) from time to time, through an “at the market” offering program under which H.C. Wainwright will act as the sales agent. The Company will pay H.C. Wainwright a commission rate equal to up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of ATM Shares and has agreed to provide H.C. Wainwright with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company will also reimburse H.C. Wainwright for certain specified expenses in connection with entering into the ATM Sales Agreement. The ATM Sales Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and conditions to the sale of the ATM Shares pursuant thereto. Sales of the ATM Shares made under the ATM Sales Agreement will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On March 21, 2025, Westwater filed a prospectus supplement for the purpose of registering under the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) the offer and sale of shares of Common Stock in the aggregate amount of up to $50.0 million pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement. On October 17, 2025, the Company filed an additional prospectus supplement for the purpose of registering under the Company’s Registration Statement the offer and sale of shares of Common Stock in the aggregate amount of up to $75.0 million pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement, which does not include the approximately $55 million of shares of Common Stock that were previously sold pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement as of the date of the filing of the prospectus supplement.

There were no sales of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement for the three months ended June 30, 2026. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold 1.0 million shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $1.2 million, pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold approximately 4.6 million and 7.1 million shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $2.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has approximately $70.6 million remaining available for future sales under the ATM Sales Agreement.

August 2024 Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park Capital, LLC

On August 30, 2024, the Company entered into the 2024 Lincoln Park PA and the 2024 Lincoln Park Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $30.0 million of the Company’s Common Stock.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the 2024 Lincoln Park PA, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase, up to $30.0 million of the Company’s Common Stock. Sales of Common Stock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion, over the 24-month period commencing on October 18, 2024 (the “Commencement Date”). The Registration Statement on Form S-1 registering for resale the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the 2024 Lincoln Park PA was declared effective by the SEC on October 11, 2024, and a related final prospectus was filed on October 18, 2024, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3).

After the Commencement Date under the 2024 Lincoln Park PA, the Company may direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock on such business day (each, a “Regular Purchase”), provided, however, that (i) the Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 200,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price of the Common Stock is not below $0.50 on the purchase date; (ii) the Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 250,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price of the Common Stock is not below $0.75 on the purchase date; and (iii) the Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 300,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price of the Common Stock is not below $1.00 on the purchase date (all of which share and dollar amounts shall be appropriately proportionately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the 2024 Lincoln

Table of Contents

Park PA). In each case, Lincoln Park’s maximum commitment in any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $1,000,000. The purchase price per share for each such Regular Purchase will be based on an agreed-upon fixed discount to the prevailing market prices of the Company’s Common Stock immediately preceding the time of sale. In addition to Regular Purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional accelerated purchases at such times and subject to the limitations set forth in the 2024 Lincoln Park PA.

Under applicable rules of the NYSE American, in no event could the Company issue or sell to Lincoln Park under the 2024 Lincoln Park PA any shares of its Common Stock to the extent the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the 2024 Lincoln Park PA, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the 2024 Lincoln Park PA to exceed 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the 2024 Lincoln Park PA without stockholder approval. On May 27, 2025, the Company held its 2025 Annual Stockholders Meeting and obtained stockholder approval for the issuance of more than 19.99% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding.

Lincoln Park has no right to require the Company to sell any shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park, but Lincoln Park is obligated to make purchases as the Company directs, subject to certain conditions. In all instances, the Company may not sell shares of its Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the 2024 Lincoln Park PA if it would result in Lincoln Park beneficially owning more than 9.99% of its Common Stock. There are no upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of Common Stock.

As consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock under the 2024 Lincoln Park PA, the Company issued to Lincoln Park 600,000 shares of Common Stock and may issue to Lincoln Park up to an additional 600,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Commitment Shares”) in connection with each purchase of Common Stock by Lincoln Park and in an amount of Additional Commitment Shares as calculated pursuant to the 2024 Lincoln Park PA.

Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in, in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares of Common Stock.

The net proceeds under the 2024 Lincoln Park PA to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of its Common Stock to Lincoln Park. The Company expects that any proceeds received by the Company from such sales to Lincoln Park will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

There were no sales of Common Stock pursuant to the 2024 Lincoln Park PA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold approximately 1.3 million and 5.1 million shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $0.6 million and $3.22 million, respectively, pursuant to the 2024 Lincoln Park PA.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has approximately $26.2 million worth of shares of Common Stock that are available for future sales, subject to the limitations noted above, pursuant to the 2024 Lincoln Park PA, which expires in October 2026.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s stockholders approved amendments to the 2013 Plan to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock available and reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan by 20,000,000 shares on May 27, 2025, and an additional 6,100,000 shares on May 22, 2026.

Table of Contents

Under the 2013 Plan, the Company may grant awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSUs, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, performance shares and other performance-based awards, other equity-based awards and cash bonus awards to eligible persons. Equity awards under the 2013 Plan are granted from time to time at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), with vesting periods and other terms as determined by the Committee with a maximum term of 10 years. The 2013 Plan is administered by the Committee, which can delegate the administration to the Board, other committees or to such other officers and employees of the Company as designated by the Committee and permitted by the 2013 Plan. As of June 30, 2026, 730,057 shares were available for future issuances under the 2013 Plan.

The Inducement Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including RSUs, restricted stock, performance shares and performance units. Under the Inducement Plan, the Company may grant equity awards for the sole purpose of recruiting and hiring new employees. The Board approved an amendment to the Inducement Plan to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock available and reserved for issuance under the Inducement Plan by 385,571 shares on May 22, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, 500,000 shares of Common Stock were available for future issuances under the Inducement Plan.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Stock compensation expense is recorded in the “General and administrative expenses” line item within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes stock options outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:


	June 30, 2026			June 30, 2025

All options outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2026, were issued and vested under the 2013 Plan. The weighted average remaining term for stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2026, is approximately 5.3 years.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had no unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options.

Restricted Stock Units

The following table summarizes RSU activity for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:


	June 30, 2026			June 30, 2025
		Weighted-			Weighted-
		Average			Average
	Number of	Grant Date		Number of	Grant Date

Table of Contents

Forfeited/Expired shares are those RSU awards that either were forfeited by the holder, or RSU awards that did not vest due to certain vesting criteria not being met. The increase in RSU activity as of June 30, 2026 as compared to June 30, 2025 is due to the larger and more broadly distributed RSU awards granted in May 2025 and May 2026 compared to prior years.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $5.0 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested RSUs that will be recognized over a period of approximately 2.5 years.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted loss per common share have been calculated based on the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be issued to settle the Convertible Notes are dependent on the share price at a future date; therefore, the Company followed ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”) and determined the total number of shares of Common Stock potentially issuable upon the future conversion of the Convertible Notes using the if-converted method. In accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes, the highest conversion price for the Series A-1 Convertible Notes is $0.63 and the Series B-1 Convertible Notes is $0.83, subject to adjustment. Assuming conversion at these prices and using the if-converted method, the Series A-1 Convertible Notes and the Series B-1 Convertible Notes were convertible into approximately 2,464,286 and 609,639 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at June 30, 2026, respectively. However, subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company voluntarily redeemed the entire outstanding Convertible Notes for approximately $2.4 million in cash.

The Company had a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. As a result, at June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company had 28,126,169 and 32,016,628, respectively, potentially dilutive shares, comprised of unvested RSUs, outstanding stock options and potential shares to be converted related to the Convertible Notes at the end of the period, were excluded from the calculation of earnings per share because the effect on the basic loss per share would be anti-dilutive.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Future operations on the Company’s properties are subject to federal and state regulations for the protection of the environment, including air and water quality. The Company evaluates the status of current environmental laws and their potential impact on current operating costs and accruals for future costs. The Company believes its operations are materially compliant with current, applicable environmental regulations.

At any given time, the Company may enter into negotiations to settle outstanding legal proceedings and any resulting accruals will be estimated based on the relevant facts and circumstances applicable at that time. At this time, we do not expect that such settlements will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has entered into certain leases that have not yet commenced. Each of the leases relate to equipment to be used at the Kellyton Graphite Plant with lease terms of 5 years, which we expect to commence when we begin operations and take possession of the equipment. The net present value of such leases is approximately $1.2 million.

11. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has one reporting segment, the “battery-grade graphite business” segment and the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the President & Chief Executive Officer. Graphite extraction and processing are regulated by federal and state governments. Compliance with regulations has a material effect on the economics of our operations and the timing of project development. Our primary regulatory costs have been, and are expected to continue to relate to, obtaining licenses and operating permits from federal and state agencies before the commencement of production activities, as well as continuing compliance with licenses and permits once they have been issued.

Table of Contents

U.S. regulations pertaining to graphite extraction and processing may evolve in the U.S.; however, at this time, we do not anticipate any adverse impact from these regulations that would be unique to our operations.

The battery-grade graphite business segment includes the Kellyton Graphite Plant and the Coosa Graphite Deposit, both at a pre-revenue stage and located in Coosa County, Alabama. Both are anticipated to be used to produce certain components of battery-grade natural graphite materials as follows:

Kellyton Graphite Plant:

The Company currently processes bulk concentrate natural graphite samples through its qualification line at the Kellyton Graphite Plant. The mass production milling and shaping equipment are utilized to produce spheroidized graphite prior to purification. The purification is performed using a proprietary purification process. The process uses a combination of technologies including a caustic bake, acid leach and thermal treatment, a process that allows for a smaller and more sustainable environmental footprint than that of a hydrofluoric acid leaching system, which is widely used by other graphite processing companies. Once the graphite is purified to a minimum graphite carbon content of 99.95%, the Company coats the spherical purified graphite to manufacture the advanced graphite products it intends to sell. The purification process was developed by Westwater and on September 17, 2025, the Company announced it had received its first U.S. Patent related to its graphite purification method.

Coosa Graphite Deposit:

Westwater currently purchases graphite flake concentrate for the Kellyton Graphite Plant under a supply contract with Syrah Resources Limited. In 2025, the Company also entered into a contract with a non-FEOC backup feedstock supplier. Westwater expects to continue to purchase graphite concentrate from Syrah Resources Limited and/or other sources for the Kellyton Graphite Plant until the Coosa Graphite Deposit is developed and in operation. Westwater believes its current contracts with Syrah Resources Limited and the backup feedstock supplier provide adequate feedstock supply until then, and believes that the backup supplier reduces dependency, mitigates risk and helps ensure supply chain continuity. Currently, the Coosa Graphite Deposit is being evaluated and developed for future mining operations, with multiple permits submitted and studies conducted since 2025. Development of a mine at the Coosa Graphite Deposit is expected to serve as an in-house source of graphite feedstock and will provide in-house QA/QC for raw-material inputs.

The accounting policies of the battery-grade graphite business are the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements within our Annual Report. The CODM assesses the performance of the battery-grade graphite business segment and decides how to allocate resources based on operating expenses, as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The CODM intends to continue to use operating expenses to evaluate the segment until the Kellyton Graphite Plant is operational.

The following table summarizes segment assets as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025:


	June 30,		December 31,

Corporate and other assets		38,902		48,972
Consolidated total assets	$	185,971	$	194,533

Expenditures for long-lived assets for the battery-grade graphite business segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, were approximately $0.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth elsewhere in this report. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” herein.

INTRODUCTION

Westwater Resources, Inc. is an energy technology company focused on developing a vertically integrated battery-grade natural graphite business through its two primary projects, the Kellyton Graphite Plant and the Coosa Graphite Deposit, both located in Coosa County, Alabama. Once operational, Westwater expects the Kellyton Graphite Plant to process natural flake graphite and, based on current studies and estimates, produce 12,500 mt per year of CSPG in Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant, primarily for use in lithium-ion batteries. Westwater also holds mineral rights to explore and potentially mine the Coosa Graphite Deposit, which Westwater anticipates will provide natural graphite flake concentrate to the Kellyton Graphite Plant.

SUMMARY OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Coosa Graphite Deposit

Westwater has conducted studies and filed several permits for mine development at its Coosa Graphite Deposit. The Company has retained a third-party permitting and engineering firm to support and manage permitting activities and is actively engaging with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”), the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (“ADEM”), and other state and local authorities as the process progresses.

Westwater’s permitting activities commenced in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company applied for an NPDES permit with ADEM and received “covered project” designation for the Coosa Graphite Deposit under the FAST‑41 Federal Permitting Program. The submitted application includes site-specific engineering, hydrologic, and environmental analyses to support compliance with applicable federal and state water quality standards. FAST‑41, enacted by Congress in 2015, is intended to improve the timeliness, predictability, and transparency of the federal permitting process through publicly available permitting schedules and formal coordination mechanisms. As of the date of these Interim Financial Statements, the estimated completion date for environmental review and permitting, as reflected on the FAST-41 dashboard, is June 2027.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company advanced the Coosa Graphite Deposit through the completion of environmental, cultural, hydrologic, and geochemical investigations and studies supporting federal and state permitting efforts. The results of these studies support optimization of mine planning, infrastructure layout, and overall project design as Westwater continues to evaluate and develop the Coosa Graphite Deposit for efficient, technically sound, and environmentally responsible natural graphite production. Key permitting activities included completion of wetland and stream delineations, jurisdictional determination activities, cultural resource surveys, habitat assessments, and FAST-41 activities. The Company also completed geochemical characterization and acid-base accounting analyses on historic and recent drill holes and continued hydrologic monitoring across the project area. As of June 30, 2026, efforts were

focused on supporting ADEM permit review, processing bat survey data, continuing environmental monitoring, advancing utility and infrastructure planning, and filing of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System with the ADEM. On June 15, 2026, the Company submitted its Section 404 permit application to the USACE under the Clean Water Act and on June 26, 2026, the USACE issued the project's Public Notice, formally beginning the public review process.

Kellyton Graphite Plant – Construction Update

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company continued to oversee detailed engineering and manufacturing progress related to long‑lead equipment we ordered in the fourth quarter of 2025 and we are continuing to follow, support and advance its progress and delivery to the Kellyton Graphite Plant.

Westwater continued to operate its R&D Lab and its qualification line at the Kellyton Graphite Plant during the first half of the year. Both the R&D Lab and qualification line support ongoing product development and optimization with potential customers and provide in-house quality control testing capabilities.

The Company believes the R&D Lab increases flexibility to refine and produce future samples in accordance with customer specifications. The qualification line has resulted in the Company’s ability to produce aggregate production samples in excess of one metric ton of CSPG, for use in pre-production evaluations and testing. CSPG produced on the qualification line is representative of CSPG material produced in a future commercial setting and the Company expects the continued operation of the qualification line to support the production of bulk CSPG samples in one to ten metric ton batches for customer qualification activities. The qualification line is also being used for operations training and process familiarization, which the Company believes may support a more efficient commissioning and start-up of the Kellyton Graphite Plant. To support these efforts, the Company continues to test the performance of the equipment at the Kellyton Graphite Plant and evaluate ongoing and upcoming equipment needs, potential alternative sources and procurement options for equipment, and costs and timelines.

Since the inception of the Kellyton Graphite Plant, and inclusive of liabilities as of June 30, 2026, the Company has incurred costs of approximately $130 million associated with Phase I. The Company continued Phase I construction activities at a measured pace during the first half of 2026. With additional financing raised during 2025 and 2026, the Company has ordered certain long-lead equipment items to further advance Phase I in 2026.

The Company maintains its current cost estimate for Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant of $245 million, of which approximately $115 million has not yet been incurred, this includes approximately $14.8 million related to contingency and potential cost estimates. The contingency and escalation estimate was reduced as we received updated pricing.

Financing Update

In June and August 2025, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreements pursuant to which the Company issued and sold in registered public offerings Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million, which were convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As discussed in Note 4, Convertible Notes, and Note 12, Subsequent Event, of the Interim Financial Statements, subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2026 the Company voluntarily redeemed the entire outstanding Convertible Notes for approximately $2.4 million in cash.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company continued to raise capital through its ATM Sales Agreement and sold 1.0 million shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $1.2 million. Refer to Note 7, Stockholders’ Equity, of the Interim Financial Statements for further details.

We continue to work to advance our plan to secure the remaining financing needed to complete Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant. Consistent with our prior communications, we are prioritizing non-dilutive and lower cost sources of capital where available, including evaluating potential government programs. In August of 2026, Westwater received approval from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (“EXIM”) for an approximately $25 million direct loan to support continued development of the Kellyton Graphite Plant. The loan was approved under EXIM’s Make More in America Initiative (“MMIA”), which supports export-oriented domestic manufacturing projects that strengthen critical U.S. supply chains.

Table of Contents

Closing a direct loan with EXIM is subject to the preparation, agreement, and execution of the definitive loan documentation, and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. No assurance can be given that the Company will ultimately enter into a direct loan with EXIM.

Concurrent with our efforts to close a loan with EXIM, the Company and its advisors continue to pursue and evaluate additional potentially available government funding sources.

As we continue to secure additional financing to complete Phase I, we will manage expenditures in a prudent manner. There can be no assurance that we will obtain additional financing in amounts sufficient to meet our needs, or on terms acceptable to the Company, nor can there be assurance regarding the timing of any such financing.

Customer Engagement Update

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, Westwater provided product samples for evaluation and qualification to prospective customers in the electric vehicle, battery energy storage systems (“BESS”) and defense-related battery markets.

Westwater continues to respond to inquiries from prospective customers as they evaluate the impact of announced and potential changes to global trade and industrial policy, including tariffs, export restrictions, domestic content requirements, the Section 45X advanced manufacturing production tax credit, and related policy measures that may affect demand for domestic battery-grade natural graphite. Many of these prospective customers include large, global lithium-ion battery manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”).

The global landscape for the U.S. supply of critical minerals, including natural graphite, continues to evolve. As previously announced, on March 31, 2026, SK On terminated the Procurement Agreement and on November 3, 2025, FCA terminated the Offtake Agreement. The Company continues to explore additional offtake opportunities with other prospective customers and, as part of these efforts, has provided and expects to continue providing product samples to support customer evaluation and qualification processes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary

Consolidated net loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $4.3 million, or $0.03 per share, as compared with $3.9 million, or $0.05 per share for the same period in 2025. Consolidated net loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $9.0 million, or $0.07 per share, as compared with $6.5 million, or $0.09 per share for the same period in 2025. The increases in our consolidated net loss from operations for both periods were primarily due to costs associated with progressing the permitting of the Coosa Graphite Deposit, an increase in stock-based compensation expenses, and greater product development costs, partially offset by additional interest income. Additional detail regarding the drivers of these primary cost increases is provided below.

Product Development Expenses

Product development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increased approximately $0.1 million compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to equipment maintenance and enhancements on our qualification line to continue to produce samples and develop active anode materials.

Product development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased approximately $0.4 million compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily the result of $0.2 million of equipment maintenance and enhancements on our qualification line, a $0.1 million write-off of deferred contract costs related to the previously announced termination of the Procurement Agreement, and $0.1 million more raw material inventory used in sample production.

Exploration Expenses

Exploration expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increases were a result of permitting related activities performed during the first half of 2026 to advance the Coosa Graphite Deposit through early stage permitting. Those activities included completing collection of all baseline environmental, geochemical, cultural, and hydrologic data required to support permitting. All major water management structures needed for the initial mine development footprint and activities (process wastewater, treatment pond, freshwater makeup, and stormwater basin) were fully designed and certified. Additionally, the habitat assessment, the sediment basin designs, and laboratory geochemical testing for several drill holes were completed. In addition, the Company filed the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System with the ADEM. On June 15, 2026, the Company submitted its Section 404 permit application to the USACE under the Clean Water Act and on June 26, 2026, the USACE issued the project's Public Notice, formally beginning the public review process.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increased by $0.4 million, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by $0.2 million of higher stock‑based compensation expenses, resulting from larger and more broadly distributed RSU awards granted in May 2025 and May 2026 compared to prior years, and a $0.2 million increase in services provided by third‑parties primarily related to the evaluation of government funding opportunities, investor relations, and legal services.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased by $1.7 million, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by $0.7 million of higher stock‑based compensation expenses, resulting from larger and more broadly distributed RSU awards granted in May 2025 and May 2026 compared to prior years and higher employer payroll taxes on equity awards that vested in the first quarter of 2026, a $0.5 million increase in services provided by third‑parties primarily related to the evaluation of government funding opportunities, investor relations, and legal services, a $0.3 million increase in office expenses primarily related to operating leases, maintenance of company assets, subscriptions, and training of employees in advance of operations, and $0.1 million of commission expense resulting from the termination of the Procurement Agreement.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and remained relatively flat, as compared to the same period in 2025.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $0.1 million, compared to other expense, net of $0.3 million for the same period in 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized approximately $0.5 million less other expense related to changes in the fair values of the Convertible Notes and approximately $0.4 million more interest income as a result of a larger cash balance. These increases in other income were partially offset by approximately $0.5 million more of other expense related to conversion losses on the B-1 Convertible Notes.

Other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was less than $0.1 million, compared to other expense, net of $0.3 million for the same period in 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized approximately $1.2 million less other expense related to changes in the fair values of the Convertible Notes and approximately $0.7 million more interest income as a result of a larger cash balance. These increases in other income were partially offset by approximately $1.6 million more of other expense related to conversion losses on the B-1 Convertible Notes.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities of $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, represents an increase of $1.9 million compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to $0.6 million of permitting activities at the Coosa Graphite Deposit, a $0.5 million increase in services provided by third-parties primarily related to evaluation of government funding opportunities, investor relations, and legal services, and a $0.3 million increase in office expenses primarily related to operating leases, maintenance items for the administration and warehouse buildings at Kellyton, subscriptions, and training of employees in advance of operations. The remaining increase was largely attributable to working capital timing differences, primarily related to company-wide short-term incentive payments of $0.3 million, as prior year bonus payments were deferred over the second and third quarter in 2025, and payments associated with certain insurance programs of $0.2 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $2.3 million, a decrease of $2.5 million as compared to the same period in 2025. For both periods, the investing activity represents construction capital expenditures as the Company continues a managed approach to construction activity while seeking financing to fund the remaining construction of Phase I of the Kellyton Graphite Plant. The cash used in investing for the prior year comparable period was slightly offset by cash received from sales of assets. See Note 3 Property, Plant and Equipment for further details.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $1.5 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $11.9 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in net cash used was primarily attributable to $6.4 million lower net proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock under the ATM Sales Agreement and the 2024 Lincoln Park PA during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, $4.8 million of net cash proceeds received for the Series A-1 Convertible Notes issued in the second quarter of 2025, and $2.4 million higher withholding taxes related to net share settlements of equity awards that vested in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, and through the date that these Interim Financial Statements were issued, the Company continued construction activities related to the Kellyton Graphite Plant. We are progressing construction activities at the Kellyton Graphite Plant at a measured level as we continue to secure additional funding to complete the project. 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 June 30, 2026, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $38.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2026, the Company had 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. See Note 7, Stockholders’ Equity to the Interim Financial Statements for further details regarding the Company’s equity financing agreements.
