NEW YORK, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terra Innovatum Global N.V. (NASDAQ: NKLR) (“Terra” or the “Company”), a developer of advanced micro modular nuclear reactors, today reported first quarter 2026 financial and operating results and announced the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. With this filing, the Company has regained current status with its SEC reporting obligations.

In addition, the filing reflects Terra's continued investment in commercialization activities supporting its proprietary SOLO™ Micro Modular Reactor (“SOLO™”), including procurement of long-lead materials and reactor equipment, manufacturing and supply-chain readiness, and ongoing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) licensing activities.

First Quarter 2026 Overview

With the filing of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, Terra has regained current SEC reporting status and provided an update on first quarter financial results and operating progress, including continued execution across licensing, procurement, manufacturing readiness, and commercialization planning for the SOLO™ platform.

“Regaining current SEC reporting status is an important milestone for Terra and reflects a great deal of work across our finance, legal and reporting teams. I’m pleased that we’re able to make this important step in restoring regular financial transparency for our shareholders,” said Katherine Williams, Chief Financial Officer of Terra Innovatum. “Our first quarter 2026 results reflect disciplined investment in the workstreams that are central to our execution plan, including licensing, procurement, supply-chain readiness and deployment planning. We believe this spending profile is consistent with where the SOLO™ program stands today and with our broader objective of advancing toward FOAK deployment in a capital-conscious manner.”

“As Terra advances toward commercialization, our capital allocation is naturally shifting toward the workstreams that support deployment of the SOLO™ platform,” said Alessandro Petruzzi, Chief Executive Officer of Terra Innovatum. “Our first quarter activities were centered on licensing, long-lead procurement, manufacturing readiness and FOAK planning as we continued to advance the SOLO™ platform toward commercial deployment. We are encouraged by the progress of discussions with prospective customers across the AI and data center, critical infrastructure, industrial, energy, and metals and mining sectors. At the same time, we believe the continued evolution of the U.S. regulatory framework for advanced reactors, including the NRC's proposed Part 57 rulemaking for micro reactors, reinforces the momentum behind the commercialization of advanced nuclear technologies.”

Financial Highlights

Terra’s first quarter expenditures continued to reflect the Company’s focus on activities supporting NRC licensing, long-lead procurement, manufacturing readiness, and execution planning for first-of-a-kind (“FOAK”) deployment of the SOLO™ platform.

• Cash and cash equivalents were $96.7 million as of March 31, 2026.
• Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $7.1 million, or $0.06 per share.
• Loss from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $6.6 million.
• Net cash used in operating activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $3.9 million.

Operational Highlights

During the first quarter of 2026, Terra continued its transition from reactor design toward commercial execution. The Company's expenditures during the period primarily supported:

• Procurement of long-lead reactor components and critical materials;
• Manufacturing readiness and supply-chain execution;
• Ongoing NRC licensing and regulatory support activities; and
• Engineering and execution activities for FOAK and commercial deployment.

As Terra advances its commercialization plan, the Company’s spending profile increasingly reflects execution activities that support commercial deployment of the SOLO™ platform, rather than earlier-stage reactor design and development.

Near-term Operating Priorities

For the balance of 2026, Terra remains focused on:

• Advancing NRC submissions and related licensing activities.
• Continuing procurement and manufacturing readiness work in support of FOAK deployment.
• Strengthening supply-chain execution with existing partners.
• Progressing commercial engagement and customer discussions supporting future deployment of the SOLO platform.

The Company continues to expect its existing capital resources to fund development through its FOAK deployment. Procurement activity completed to date indicates that costs for major equipment, materials, and regulatory activities remain broadly consistent with, and in certain areas below, the Company's original planning assumptions, reinforcing management’s confidence in its commercialization plans.

Terra expects to continue providing shareholders with updates as additional licensing, manufacturing, and commercial milestones are achieved throughout 2026.
