"We are thrilled to be reporting Deep Isolation's first earnings as a public company," said Rod Baltzer, CEO of Deep Isolation. "Our operational momentum in the first quarter was encouraging - breaking ground on our full-scale demonstration project in Cameron, Texas marks a pivotal milestone as we move from the R&D phase toward deployment, showcasing our innovative approach to safe nuclear waste disposal.

"Additionally, our selection for ARPA-E's SCALEUP Ready program positions us to accelerate commercialization with support from the Department of Energy.

We believe we are entering the market at the exact right time, as the entire nuclear industry is scaling up,gaining momentum and in need of a scalable waste disposal solution."

**Operational Progress**

Deep Isolation advanced several strategic initiatives during the quarter, including the launch of its full-scale technology demonstration program in Cameron, Texas, in collaboration with Halliburton and the Deep Borehole Demonstration Center. The program, which includes collaboration with Westinghouse, NAC International, Occlusion Nuclear Solutions, and Amentum, is designed to demonstrate a fully integrated deep borehole disposal solution for advanced reactor and

------

nuclear recycling waste. The non-radioactive demonstration project is expected to provide operational data and support stakeholder and regulatory confidence as the Company advances commercialization of its technology.

The Company also announced the successful completion of its work under the ARPA-E ONWARDS program, confirming through modeling and analysis that waste streams from advanced reactor fuel recycling are compatible with Deep Isolation's deep borehole disposal system and can achieve long-term safety performance significantly exceeding target standards. In addition, Deep Isolation was selected for ARPA-E's SCALEUP Ready program to support commercial deployment of its Universal Canister System, with the Company advancing through the contracting phase for potential funding of up to $20 million to support its Cameron, Texas demonstration project. Deep Isolation is the first company in the nuclear industry to have ever been selected to participate in ARPA-E's SCALEUP Ready program.

During the quarter, Deep Isolation strengthened its leadership and governance capabilities through several key appointments. The Company appointed Ralph L. Hunter to its Board of Directors, bringing more than 35 years of nuclear industry experience, including senior leadership roles across advanced nuclear development, operations, and policy. Deep Isolation also appointed Paula Whitten-Doolin as General Counsel and Joseph Nelson as Chief Financial Officer to support the Company's commercialization efforts, public company readiness, and strategic growth initiatives. In addition, the Company appointed nuclear operations leader Matthew Sunseri to its Advisory Board, adding significant expertise in nuclear safety, regulatory strategy, and operational governance as Deep Isolation advances its demonstration and commercialization programs.

On May 8, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared Deep Isolation's registration statement on Form S-1 effective, allowing the Company's common stock to be freely tradable.

---

Revenue decreased by approximately $73 thousand, or 5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to lower revenues at Deep Isolation following the completion of certain projects during 2025, offset by higher revenues at the Company's subsidiary, Freestone Environmental Services, due to an increase in the number of active contracts.

Research and development expense increased by approximately $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in research and development expense was attributed to the ordering of long-lead items and front-end engineering work related to the Company's non-radioactive, full-scale, at-depth demonstration of its deep borehole technologies.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.8 million, or 186%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in selling, general and

------

administrative expenses was primarily attributable to higher accounting, audit, legal and travel expenses along with addition of 4 new employees, including the Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel.

Net loss increased by approximately $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the increases in research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses described above.

EBITDA<sup>1</sup> was ($5.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to ($135) thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in EBITDA was primarily attributed to higher research and development expenses and selling, general, and administrative expenses as described above.

Adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> was ($1.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to ($135) thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributed to higher selling, general, and administrative expenses as described above.

Moreover, we operate in a highly regulated environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this release may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements, and we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or achievements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this release or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.

**Exhibit II Non-GAAP Financial Measures: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA**

EBITDA is defined as earnings before depreciation, amortization, finance income and expense, and taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before non-recurring items such as registration statement expenses and research and development expenses. 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.

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):

(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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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.

A REALISTIC SOLUTION FOR PERMANENT WASTE DISPOSAL IS FUNDAMENTAL TO THE ROLLOUT OF NEW NUCLEAR 13 The world has not yet permanently disposed any of the spent fuel it has created over the last seventy years ""To move the next generation of nuclear reactors forward, the industry needs to be able to tell investors and the government that we have a solution to the waste." – Rod McCullum Senior Director, Used Fuel and Decommissioning at Nuclear Energy Institute Estimated Size of Existing Spent Fuel Inventories in Metric Tonnes of Heavy Metal (MTHM) ""…This issue has to be resolved.

![](deepisolationcorporatepr014.jpg)© 2026 Deep Isolation Nuclear, Inc. 14 How does it work? ▪ Involves the mining of miles of underground tunnels to create a centralized repository in which all spent nuclear fuel (SNF) produced by a certain country will ultimately be packed into canisters and emplaced ▪ Facility maintained by a large staff of engineers and other personnel onsite and underground What does it cost? ▪ Construction can cost billions to tens of billions alone plus significant operating and monitoring costs, with a large staff on hand for decades ▪ In many cases where not all SNF is produced near the disposal site, countries will also incur significant transportation costs How long does it take to deploy? ▪ Projects take decades to plan and deliver before becoming operational ▪ Political opposition can cause decades of delays – in the U.S., Yucca Mountain was selected as the site for all U.S. SNF disposal in 1987, but has made no material progress to date What progress has been made to date? ▪ There are no currently operating mined repository facilities for the disposal of SNF – Finland aims to open the world's first SNF disposal facility in 2026 – Sweden and France are next in line, and neither country has begun construction ▪ Only a handful of countries have made significant progress in even selecting a site Why is this option so unpopular? ▪ Community Opposition – most citizens are deeply opposed to living near a nuclear waste site ▪ Cost – most expensive solution for SNF disposal plus many more years of interim storage costs ▪ Safety – requires transportation of radioactive waste over long distances; requires constant human intervention underground THE CURRENT NUCLEAR DISPOSAL APPROACH IS NOT WORKING Mined Repository: the expensive and unpopular option Above-Ground Interim Storage: the "kick-the-can" option The world's current nuclear waste management model is nearly unanimously unpopular, resulting in the continuous cycle of delays in permanent disposal and indefinitely recurring storage costs How does it work? ▪ Involves packaging SNF into canisters that are then placed and stored in above-ground concrete dry casks located onsite at the power plant where the SNF was produced ▪ Onsite monitoring and maintenance required What does it cost? ▪ Globally, the annual spend for temporary storage of SNF is ~$10B – the U.S. alone spends ~$2.2B annually ▪ As this is not a permanent solution, these costs do not include the inevitable transportation and disposal costs to come in the future How long does it take to deploy? ▪ Because the world has decades of experience, interim storage can be deployed immediately ▪ The actual placement of SNF into the dry casks depends on the inventory, and can take months to years to complete What progress has been made to date? ▪ Temporary above-ground storage is the only waste management solution for SNF currently being practiced worldwide ▪ No SNF globally has ever been moved from temporary storage to a permanent disposal site Why is this option so unpopular? ▪ Cost – billions of dollars are passed through to taxpayers each year for a solution that includes the inevitable bill for permanent disposal at some point in the future ▪ Timing – SNF is being stored above-ground decades longer than anticipated and, in most countries, with no permanent solution on the horizon ▪ Safety – risks include natural disasters, cask degradation, accidents, terrorist attacks, etc.

![](deepisolationcorporatepr017.jpg)© 2026 Deep Isolation Nuclear, Inc. 17 HOW DOES HORIZONTAL BOREHOLE DISPOSAL WORK? Deep Isolation's repeatable process leverages proven technology and has been successfully tested and demonstrated The disposal process consists of six stages: 1. Vertical Access: Drill a vertical hole to a suitable depth and then gradually curve the direction until the drillhole is approximately horizontal. The horizontal section is the disposal region. 2. Casing Installation: Line the drillhole with a carbon-steel pipe known as casing. Because the curved section is so gradual, the steel casing bends easily around it. 3. Canister Preparation: Place the nuclear waste in corrosion- resistant canisters. 4. Canister Emplacement: Lower canisters into the hole and push them into the disposal region. This process is completed using standard oil and gas industry practices. 5. Release: Release canisters, withdraw the conveyance mechanism, and repeat. 6. Seal / Plug: Seal the vertical hole with rock and bentonite clay after removing the casing, or use temporary plugs for interim storage.

![](deepisolationcorporatepr019.jpg)© 2026 Deep Isolation Nuclear, Inc. NUCLEAR WASTE MANAGEMENT COST ANALYSIS 19 Disposal Cost Comparison ($000s per MTHM)(1,2) Deep Isolation's borehole solution is far more economical than mined repositories or the current status quo – temporary storage before ultimate disposal Sources: Amentum (published white paper); Deep Isolation Financial Model. 1) Does not incorporate costs of spent fuel transportation. 2) Values represented in real 2024 U.S. dollars. 3) Considers global average mined repository and does not include costs of spent fuel transportation. 4) Weighted average cost of disposal based on $424k/MTHM and $170k/MTHM for unprocessed and reprocessed waste, respectively, per the Deep Isolation Financial Model. Assumes 30% of global waste is reprocessed, while remaining 70% is unprocessed. 5) This assumes that U.S. spent nuclear fuel is disposed of at the Deep Isolation's average unit cost for direct disposal ($424k/MTHM), with none reprocessed first as shown in the lower blended rate at Footnote (4). PERMANENT DISPOSAL SOLUTIONS "KICK-THE-CAN" OPTION ▪ By Deep Isolation's estimates based on DOE data, the ongoing annual cost of storage is ~$23k / MTHM / year – This means that Deep Isolation's deep borehole disposal solution is equivalent to ~20 years(5) of temporary storage costs in the U.S. ▪ Inevitably, the waste stored in these dry casks must ultimately be disposed of permanently in either mined repositories or deep boreholes ▪ When considering the combined costs of (i) permanent disposal canisters, (ii) waste repackaging, (iii) any necessary transportation and (iv) ultimate disposal, the status quo temporary storage option quickly becomes the most expensive and burdensome option $1,160 $348 Mined Repository Borehole 70% Cost Savings versus Mined Repositories (3) (4)

![](deepisolationcorporatepr037.jpg)© 2026 Deep Isolation Nuclear, Inc. 37 NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS EBITDA is defined as earnings before depreciation, amortization, finance income and expense, and taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before non-recurring items such as registration statement expenses and research and development expenses. 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. 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.
