Birchtech (BCHT) has reached an agreement in principle to acquire substantially all assets of a privately held specialty activated carbon company.
The proposed deal is expected to give Birchtech its first commercial-scale processing and manufacturing capabilities, supporting the rollout of its lower-temperature thermal treatment process, branded as Carbon Rejuvenation, for reusing spent activated carbon. The target’s operations are expected to complement Birchtech’s existing Design Center footprint through facilities in North Dakota and Pennsylvania, creating a scalable rejuvenation framework for the water treatment industry.
The parties have signed a non-binding term sheet that includes exclusivity. Closing remains subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive acquisition agreement, completion of Birchtech’s remaining due diligence, an audit of the target company, and satisfaction of conditions to be detailed in the definitive agreement, the company said.
Birchtech (NYSE American: BCHT) reported second quarter 2026 revenues of $3.8 million, up from $3.3 million a year earlier, driven mainly by higher air business demand, more extreme weather, higher natural gas prices, and initial water treatment sales. Gross profit remained at $1.0 million, with mix shift away from higher‑margin licensing revenues offsetting the revenue increase.
SG&A rose to $2.1 million and R&D to $0.6 million, while other expenses increased to $1.4 million, leading to a wider net loss of $3.0 million ($0.11/share) versus $1.5 million ($0.08/share). Adjusted EBITDA loss was $(1.9) million. Cash totaled $11.8 million with no debt at June 30, 2026, compared to $2.2 million at year‑end 2025.
All remaining IPR petitions against Birchtech’s SEA® mercury emissions patents were terminated, and a $78+ million patent infringement judgment remains outstanding on appeal, accruing post‑judgment interest. The company continued expanding its water business, advanced Carbon Rejuvenation capacity, and appointed Michael Mioska as CFO and Jim Trettel as COO.
Birchtech (NYSE American: BCHT, TSX: BCHT) will release its second quarter 2026 financial results for the period ended June 30, 2026, after market close on Thursday, August 13, 2026.
