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.  

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.

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.
