BERKELEY, Calif., Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Deep Isolation Nuclear, Inc. (OTCQB: DBHL) (“Deep Isolation” or the “Company”), a leading innovator in nuclear waste disposal technology, today announced its operational and financial results for the three-months ended June 30, 2026.
“The second quarter was about converting milestones into execution,” said Rod Baltzer, CEO of Deep Isolation. “We established a permanent field presence at the Deep Borehole Demonstration Center near Cameron, Texas, to lead the world’s first full-scale, at-depth demonstration of deep borehole disposal, and we surpassed 100 issued patents worldwide — a portfolio that now spans the full disposal lifecycle, from geologic site characterization through canister emplacement and repository closure.
“We also took important steps as a public company. The SEC declared our registration statement on Form S-1 effective during the quarter, and shortly after quarter end our common stock began trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the ticker symbol ‘DBHL.’ We were subsequently selected as the sole industrial partner on three Department of Energy Project GENESIS awards alongside Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of South Carolina, deepening our research collaboration with the national laboratory system. These achievements demonstrate our team’s execution capabilities and reinforce Deep Isolation’s leadership in delivering practical solutions for one of the nuclear industry’s most critical challenges. We believe we are entering the market at exactly the right time, as the nuclear industry scales up and the need for a scalable waste disposal solution grows more urgent.”
Operational Progress
Deep Isolation advanced execution of its full-scale, at-depth deep borehole demonstration program at the Deep Borehole Demonstration Center (“DBDC”), located at Halliburton’s Drilling Technology Facility near Cameron, Texas. On June 17, 2026, the Company announced that Technology Demonstration Lead Jon Tedrick had relocated to Texas to establish a permanent field presence as the project moves toward active operations. Conducted via collaboration between the DBDC, Halliburton, Amentum, NAC International, Occlusion Nuclear Solutions and Westinghouse, the non-radioactive demonstration program is designed to demonstrate construction of a deep borehole repository using standard oil and gas drilling practices, full-scale emplacement and retrieval of the Company’s Universal Canister System (“UCS”), and simulated surface handling operations.
On May 27, 2026, the Company announced that it had surpassed 100 issued patents worldwide, spanning repository architecture, geologic site characterization, canister and packaging systems, emplacement and retrieval technologies, and repository closure and monitoring. Deep Isolation also continued to advance through the contracting phase for the U.S. Department of Energy's ("DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy's ("ARPA-E") Seeding Critical Advances for Leading Energy technologies with Untapped Potential ("SCALEUP") Ready program, which, if an award is successfully negotiated, would provide up to
Commercial Progress and Other Company Events
During the quarter, Deep Isolation completed the remaining steps required to make its common stock publicly tradable. On May 7, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 effective, allowing the Company’s common stock to be freely tradable. The Company then worked with OTC Markets Group, Inc. on its application to have its shares of common stock quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market.
On July 13, 2026, the Company announced that its application for listing its common stock on the OTCQB Venture Market had been approved, and its common stock is now available to trade under the ticker symbol “DBHL.” On July 15, 2026, Chief Executive Officer Rod Baltzer issued a letter to shareholders marking the Company’s first quotation on the OTCQB and describing its transition from research and development toward commercial readiness.
On July 23, 2026, the Company was selected as the sole industrial partner on three U.S. Department of Energy Project GENESIS grants led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of South Carolina, advancing artificial intelligence-enabled repository site screening, design and performance analysis.
Nuclear Industry Developments
The global nuclear energy industry continued to strengthen during the second quarter of 2026, supported by rising electricity demand, energy security priorities and the need for reliable, carbon-free generation. Governments and utilities continued advancing new reactor development and extending the operating lives of existing nuclear facilities, while growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence, data centers and industrial electrification accelerated corporate interest in nuclear power. Together, these trends reinforced the increasingly important role of nuclear energy in meeting long-term energy needs.
Government policy and financing also remained important catalysts for industry growth. During the quarter, the United States and several international governments advanced financing initiatives, licensing reforms and investment programs designed to accelerate deployment of both conventional and advanced nuclear technologies. Countries across North America and Europe continued expanding long-term nuclear generation plans, reflecting increasing recognition of nuclear energy as a strategic component of energy security and decarbonization efforts. Subsequent to quarter-end, the U.S. Department of Energy announced the first states selected to participate in its Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses initiative, highlighting continued federal investment in developing an integrated domestic nuclear fuel cycle and long-term spent fuel management infrastructure. This may have the potential to accelerate the need for borehole disposal options in the U.S.
Investment across the nuclear sector remained active throughout the quarter, with continued progress in advanced reactors, nuclear fuel, waste management and supporting infrastructure. In management's view, these developments reinforce the long-term outlook for nuclear energy and may increase demand for permanent nuclear waste disposal solutions as existing reactor fleets operate longer and new reactors enter service. These industry trends, if they continue, could strengthen the long-term market opportunity for Deep Isolation's technology and services.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before depreciation, amortization, finance income and expense, and taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before certain items, including registration statement expenses and research and development expenses, that management believes are not indicative of core ongoing operations for the periods presented. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are used as supplemental financial measures by management and external users of financial statements, such as investors, to assess our financial and operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. We believe that including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA assists our management and investors in (i) understanding and analyzing the results of our operating and business performance, (ii) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (iii) monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength in assessing whether to purchase and/or to continue to hold our common shares. This is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, financial income and expenses,, taxes, depreciation and amortization; in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, registration statement expenses and research and development expenses, which are excluded because they relate to specific, discrete initiatives and may vary significantly based on the timing and scope of such activities.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as alternatives to, or as substitutes for, or superior to, profit or loss, profit or loss from operations, earnings or loss per share or any other measure of operating performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include the fact that they do not reflect (i) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments and (ii) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs. Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows and other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by the excluded items. Therefore, the non-GAAP financial measures as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in the nuclear or other industries.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented (in thousands):
| For the Three Months Ended | ||||||||
| June 30, 2026 | June 30, 2025 | |||||||
| Net loss | $ | (3,036 | ) | $ | (1,363 | ) | ||
| Depreciation and amortization expense | 25 | 30 | ||||||
| Other income (expense) | (181 | ) | (4 | ) | ||||
| Provision for income taxes | — | — | ||||||
| EBITDA | (3,192 | ) | (1,337 | ) | ||||
| Registration statement expenses (1) | 97 | — | ||||||
| Research and development expenses (2) | 1,180 | — | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | (1,915 | ) | $ | (1,337 | ) | ||
(1) Represents specific costs that are incremental and discrete to the periods presented and are not indicative of our core ongoing operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, these amounts were comprised of non-routine legal costs associated with the Company's registration statement that do not qualify for equity issuance costs and outside the ordinary course of business.
(2) For the three months ended June 30, 2026, these amounts were comprised of research and development costs incurred to design, develop, test, and validate the Company’s technologies and services for the deep borehole disposal of nuclear waste. The Company believes excluding these investments provides investors with additional insight into the operating performance of its core business activities and enhances comparability across reporting periods by removing costs that may vary significantly based on the timing and scope of development initiatives.
