EBITDA Contribution and Revenue Mix Improvement
Company reported an EBITDA loss from continuing operations of $3.7 million for the quarter, but management noted this quarter delivered the highest EBITDA contribution of 2025 and an improvement versus Q3 2025. The improvement was driven by higher silicon gas volumes and ASP/mix effects from a larger share of higher-value products and markets. (No percentage change disclosed.)
Secured and Proposed Financing Actions
Closed on $20 million in loans in Q4 and subsequently obtained an additional $10 million loan in January 2026; extended a $110 million short-term loan. The Board has proposed a fully underwritten rights issue to raise the NOK-equivalent of $100 million in new equity to stabilize the company and protect minority shareholders (subject to EGM approval).
Operational Signals of Recovery and Cost Actions
Gas shipments increased versus Q3, and the company cites early signs of recovery in some segments, especially for higher-grade products. Management completed staffing adjustments tied to the previously announced restructuring/optimization of the PV facility and is working to high-grade the Butte portfolio and reduce the cost of optionality at Moses Lake.
Near-Term Liquidity Steps
Management has pursued multiple near-term liquidity measures (new loans, loan extensions, proposed equity raise) and engaged in active discussions around restructuring maturing term loans to address 2026 maturities.
