374Water Reports Preliminary Second Quarter 2026 Revenue of $2.2M and Advances Commercial Deployments Across Municipal and Federal Markets
Rhea-AI Summary
374Water (NASDAQ:SCWO) reported preliminary second quarter 2026 revenue of more than $2.2 million, up from $0.6 million in 2025, with first-half 2026 revenue exceeding $2.8 million versus $1.1 million a year earlier. According to 374Water, growth was driven largely by approximately $2.0 million recognized following a successful Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) AirSCWO system.
The completed OC San FAT positions the company to invoice about $2.6 million in remaining contract billings and recognize roughly $1.1 million in additional revenue as milestones are met. 374Water also received a $4.8 million order from Olathe, KS, advanced a $600,000 St. Cloud, MN pilot to Phase III, and expanded its Orlando Waste Destruction Services hub to approximately 88,000 gallons of storage capacity. The company entered a strategic MOU with Arcadis focused on federal PFAS destruction opportunities and appointed Charles “Chuck” Weiser as Chief Financial Officer and Richard “Rick” Davis to the Board.

374Water's 2026 first half revenue exceeds
MORRISVILLE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / August 11, 2026 / 374Water Inc. (NASDAQ:SCWO) ("374Water" or the "Company"), a leading cleantech environmental services company deploying supercritical water oxidation technology for the permanent destruction of organic waste including PFAS through its proprietary AirSCWO™ technology, today provided a business update in advance of reporting its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Company will release its complete financial results on August 14, 2026.
"The second quarter of 2026 has been about building towards long-term growth from a strong technical and operational foundation," said Danny Bogar, Chief Executive Officer of 374Water. "Since I assumed the role of CEO earlier this year, our team has remained focused on alignment and execution. We are converting years of technology development into rapidly growing revenue, more deployed systems, long-term contracts, and durable partnerships. We have expanded our flagship Waste Destruction Services hub in Orlando, executed a MOU with Arcadis to pursue federal PFAS destruction opportunities, completed a rigorous government PFAS demonstration with the Department of Defense validated by independent results, and cleared a critical Factory Acceptance Test for California's Orange County Sanitation District."
"While there is still significant work ahead, I believe the progress we've made positions 374Water to capitalize on the growing demand for permanent destruction solutions. As society and regulatory pressures increase, customers will seek proven, scalable solutions for the destruction of harmful and persistent pollutants. The second half of 2026 will be about creating additional partnerships, expanding our facility and capacity in Orlando, and commercializing our AFFF waste destruction services."

Expanding the Waste Destruction Services Platform
The Orlando regional hub is designed as the Company's first recurring-revenue waste destruction facility. As customer volumes increase, management believes the facility will become a scalable cash-generating asset supporting municipal, industrial, and federal customers while serving as the blueprint for future regional Waste Destruction Services hubs. The Orlando WDS hub now includes approximately 88,000 gallons of waste storage capacity, allowing the Company to receive and stage significantly larger volumes of PFAS-contaminated waste.
Management believes the Orlando Waste Destruction facility has the potential to generate multi-million-dollar annual recurring revenues as customer contracts are secured and processing volumes ramp up.
Arcadis MOU Establishes Commercial Framework for Federal PFAS Destruction
During the quarter, 374Water announced a strategic relationship with Arcadis, one of the world's leading engineering and environmental consulting firms. This collaboration is expected to accelerate commercial opportunities primarily across the Federal and Industrial markets by combining Arcadis' global engineering capabilities with 374Water's destruction technology.
Management believes the U.S. government's need to destroy PFAS-containing waste, including AFFF and other contaminated materials, represents a multi-billion-dollar long-term remediation market. Through its collaboration with Arcadis and successful Department of Defense demonstration programs, the Company is positioning itself to compete for future federal destruction projects as procurement opportunities emerge.
