newcleo plc Reports First Half 2026 Financial and Operational Results
September 30 preliminary, unaudited cash stood at approximately €233 million following the completed business combination.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
newcleo (NWCL) reported first-half 2026 revenue of approximately €19.4 million, up approximately 46% from the same period in 2025. Gross profit rose 48% to €6.130 million, while net loss increased approximately 10% to €81.981 million. Cash was €66.540 million at June 30; preliminary, unaudited cash was approximately €233 million at September 30.
The business combination with NewHold Investment Corp III closed September 21, generating approximately $247 million in gross proceeds. Shares and warrants began Nasdaq Global Select Market trading September 22. PRECURSOR's main vessel and turbine were installed; construction completion is expected by end-2026. French regulators gave a satisfactory evaluation of proposed MOX fuel facility safety features, and U.S. pre-application engagement plans were submitted. The Bonifait Pesage acquisition is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2026.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

LONDON, Oct. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- newcleo plc (Nasdaq: NWCL) (“newcleo” or the “Company”), a pioneer in advanced modular reactor (“AMR”) technology and nuclear fuel manufacturing, today announced its operational and financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
“Becoming a public company is a defining milestone for newcleo, and I want to thank every member of our team for the work that brought us to this point and to reporting our first results as a public company,” said Stefano Buono, Founder and CEO of newcleo. “Access to the public markets strengthens our ability to execute on our mission to deliver a credible, near-term path to advanced nuclear deployment and to close the nuclear fuel cycle. The disciplined engineering, licensing, and partnership work carried out by our more than 900 employees across Europe and the United States will continue to drive newcleo’s progress, and I am excited to work with this incredible team every day.
“Importantly, newcleo is moving quickly down the path to both technical validation and regulatory approval for our facilities. The installation of the main vessel for PRECURSOR, our 10 MWt non-nuclear demonstration reactor at Brasimone, is a development milestone for the LFR technology ahead of planned commercial deployment. Completion of construction for PRECURSOR, which is expected by the end of 2026, and beginning the process of reactor system validation, are the next critical steps in qualifying the technology that will lead to the deployment of our LFR-200 reactor.
“In parallel, pre-licensing for our reactor and MOX fuel facilities in France, Slovakia and the United States, including our ongoing engagement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, has moved forward. Our U.S. growth is a particular focus: our work toward siting at Savannah River, and the broader policy support for nuclear expansion in the U.S., position newcleo to play a meaningful role in meeting U.S. energy demand, including from AI infrastructure. We look forward to updating investors on our progress.”
Commercial & Operational Events
On May 26, newcleo was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy for advanced negotiations under the Surplus Plutonium Utilization Program. The program aims to make designated surplus plutonium material available to industry participants and enable the conversion of those materials into fuel for advanced nuclear reactors, subject to U.S. security, safeguards and material accountability requirements. newcleo's selection, in partnership with Oklo, continues the companies’ strategic partnership as they work together to develop advanced fuel fabrication infrastructure in the U.S.
On June 16, 2026, the Company announced a partnership with SHINE to collaborate on advancing innovative technologies for the recycling of used nuclear fuel. Under the agreement, the parties will assess how SHINE could supply newcleo with reprocessed materials from the used nuclear fuel of traditional reactors to manufacture MOX fuel, and how SHINE could recycle spent fuel from newcleo’s reactors. The parties also intend to jointly pursue U.S. federal funding opportunities and explore additional opportunities for collaboration across both the U.S. and European Union, where spent fuel stockpiles represent a growing strategic priority to support energy independence.
On June 30, 2026, newcleo announced its entry into an agreement to acquire Bonifait Pesage, a French manufacturer of nuclear-grade scales and precision industrial weighing equipment with a strong customer base in the French nuclear ecosystem. Bonifait Pesage manufactures, installs, calibrates, and maintains weighing equipment, while also providing technical support. Since 2017, the company has held key certifications for the maintenance and verification of weighing systems used in ionizing-radiation environments. The acquisition forms part of newcleo’s vertical integration strategy, pursued since 2023, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. It is intended to bring critical manufacturing capabilities in-house, secure access to nuclear-grade weighing equipment required for planned MOX fuel manufacturing facilities, reduce supply-chain risk and support equipment customization.
Also subsequent to the first half, newcleo progressed work on the PRECURSOR non-nuclear demonstration reactor with the installation of the main vessel and turbine at ENEA’s Brasimone facility located outside of Bologna, Italy. The 10 MWt non-nuclear demonstration reactor, which is scheduled for completion at the end of 2026, is intended to provide the Company with a fully integrated, representative operating and power generating environment for the Company’s planned commercial reactors. Experimental data obtained through the operation of PRECURSOR is expected to inform the Company’s licensing processes on both sides of the Atlantic, including safety computations, system performance analysis and materials development.
“In the first half of 2026, newcleo continued moving our operations forward, continuing to convert planning into reality,” said Elisabeth Rizzotti, Co-Founder, Deputy-CEO and COO of newcleo. “Our OTHELLO test loop is operating, PRECURSOR is under active construction at Brasimone with major components manufactured and installed by our own vertically integrated subsidiaries, which gives us direct control over cost, schedule, and quality across the supply chain rather than relying on third parties for critical systems. At the same time, our work with trusted partners continues to translate into concrete engineering and commercial work. Each of these efforts, testing, building, manufacturing, and partnering, reflects the same discipline: turning our technology roadmap into physical progress on the ground.”
Regulatory Progress
Subsequent to the end of the first half, on July 17, newcleo announced that it had received from the French Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection Authority (“ASNR”) an overall satisfactory evaluation for the proposed safety features of its planned MOX fuel manufacturing facility in France. The review by the ASNR offers practical feedback to continue developing the facility’s safety features ahead of a license application and valuable experience to support the licensing process in the U.S. The Company is also progressing through a similar regulatory process for its lead-cooled fast reactor design and is currently awaiting the opinion of the ASNR on the proposed safety features of that design.
On August 6, newcleo announced the submission of a Regulatory Engagement Plan (REP) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its planned mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility, to be located in Aiken, South Carolina. The submission of a REP for the MOX facility followed the submission on July 14 to the NRC of a REP for the Company’s LFR-AS-200 reactor. The submitted REPs set out the proposed framework for newcleo’s pre-application engagement with NRC staff in support of the future licensing of both the MOX facility and the LFR-AS-200 lead-cooled fast reactor. The REPs provide an overview of the Company’s proposed licensing approach and an indicative schedule for technical submissions and interactions with the NRC.
Hiring of Key Personnel
On June 11, newcleo announced the hiring of Dustin Greenwood as Vice President of U.S. Operations and Travis Chapman as Director of U.S. Regulatory Affairs and Licensing to direct and support the Company’s growing presence in the U.S. Both Greenwood and Chapman are experienced nuclear professionals, having worked in the U.S. Navy’s nuclear propulsion program, as well as at leading companies developing advanced reactor and nuclear fuel projects. Dustin Greenwood will lead the development of newcleo’s U.S. operational footprint and oversee execution of the Company’s American projects. He will focus on establishing operational capabilities, building strategic partnerships and supporting delivery of the Company’s U.S. deployment roadmap. Travis Chapman will lead newcleo’s U.S. licensing, permitting and regulatory engagement strategy, overseeing the Company’s interactions with federal regulators and supporting the licensing pathway for newcleo’s advanced reactor and fuel technologies.
On September 9, the Company announced the appointment of Jeffrey Lyash to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Lyash brings more than 40 years of experience spanning engineering, procurement, construction, and operations across the power generation, transmission, and distribution sectors. He most recently served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the largest public utility in the United States, where he oversaw generation from coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, natural gas, and renewable sources while driving significant improvements in operating efficiency. Prior to TVA, Lyash served as President and CEO of Ontario Power Generation, where he was responsible for
On September 30, the Company announced the appointment of William D. Magwood as Vice-Chairman of newcleo’s Board of Directors, effective January 1, 2027. Magwood has spent the past decade as Director-General of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), where he works directly with the nuclear regulators and energy ministries of NEA’s member countries. Magwood will step down from his position at the NEA at the end of 2026 prior to assuming his position as newcleo’s Vice-Chairman.
