Delivered strong revenue growth and margin expansion
Returned to positive GAAP and Adjusted EPS
Raises revenue outlook and narrows Adjusted EBITDA guidance range
Appoints David Ruppel as President and CEO and a member of the Board

NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Nov. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights (Results from Continuing Operations; compared with prior year, where comparisons are noted)

  • Revenues of $208.1 million, up 36.5%, primarily driven by increased demand across all three segments.
  • Gross margin expansion of 300 basis points versus Q3 2025 and 80 basis points sequentially versus Q2 2026 primarily from volume leverage and operational efficiency improvements.
  • Operating income of $7.7 million, which included $3.1 million gain on sale of assets, up $8.7 million, compared to an operating loss of $1.1 million. Adjusted operating income of $5.6 million, compared to $1.6 million.
  • Net income from continuing operations of $5.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share and adjusted net income of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $6.8 million, or $(0.20) per diluted share and adjusted net loss of $4.6 million, or $(0.14) per diluted share. Net income includes a $4.1 million pre-tax warrant liability revaluation benefit.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $8.5 million, compared to $4.6 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 4.1%, up from 3.0%.

James Ray, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The third quarter demonstrated the earnings potential of a leaner, more efficient, and more focused CVG. Strong volume growth across all three segments, together with productivity gains, drove meaningful revenue growth and improvement in gross margin, adjusted operating income, and adjusted EBITDA. We see further opportunities to improve performance, particularly through driving plant efficiencies and recovering higher commodity and freight costs.”

Mr. Ray continued, “Trim Systems & Components delivered the strongest year-over-year growth, benefiting from higher North American Class 8 production volumes and new program launches. Global Electrical Systems benefited from new program ramps and increased demand in construction markets, and we continue to work closely with Zoox to support their production plans. Global Seating delivered solid growth while executing the footprint initiatives in China, the U.S., and the U.K. We expect these initiatives to lower our cost base over time. We expect the combination of new business ramps, continued operational improvement and execution in our key end markets to support further earnings growth into 2027.”

Angie O’Leary, Chief Financial Officer, added, “The third quarter marks a meaningful step in our transition toward profitable growth, with stronger volume translating into higher adjusted margins and positive adjusted EPS. As growth accelerates, our financial priorities remain clear: converting higher earnings into cash, strengthening the balance sheet and investing in the working capital and capacity needed to support new business. We made progress in each area this quarter, including reducing net leverage to approximately 2.7 times. We remain focused on driving profitable growth and progressing toward our net leverage goal of approximately two times. Based on our performance through the first nine months of the year, and our expectations for the fourth quarter, we are raising our full-year revenue outlook. We are also reducing the top end of the Adjusted EBITDA guidance range, reflecting incremental expenses related to the CEO succession.”

CEO Succession Plan

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has appointed David Ruppel as the Company’s next President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board, in each case effective November 9, 2026. Mr. Ruppel will succeed James Ray, who will step down as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board on November 9, 2026 and will remain with CVG as a Senior Advisor through his retirement on January 5, 2027.

The Board extends its sincere gratitude to Mr. Ray for his outstanding leadership and the significant contributions he has made to CVG during his tenure and appreciates his continued counsel as Senior Advisor to support a seamless transition. During his nearly three years as CEO, Mr. Ray guided the Company through challenging end market conditions, refinanced its balance sheet, and transformed its operating structure to sharpen CVG’s focus on profitable growth. Mr. Ray’s resignation did not result from any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

Mr. Ruppel brings more than 25 years of operational and general management experience across many of CVG’s key end markets, including commercial vehicles, electrical systems, and industrials. He currently serves as Senior Vice President and General Manager, Transportation & Logistics at Littelfuse, Inc., with global P&L responsibility for a $700 million segment, having previously led its Commercial Vehicle products business. His career also spans automotive and aerospace & defense, giving him a broad perspective on the customers, technologies, and demand cycles that shape CVG’s business. Prior to Littelfuse, Mr. Ruppel served as President of IDEX Optical Technologies and President of Montevideo Technology, Inc., leading global businesses through growth, acquisition integration, and operational transformation. Prior to that, he spent approximately 20 years in operational and general management roles at Herman Miller, Eaton, and Cooper Industries, including deep experience in electrical power management and manufacturing at Cooper and Eaton.

Mr. Ruppel holds an Executive Master of Business Administration from Marquette University and a Bachelor of Science in Management from Cardinal Stritch University.

“We have found an exceptional leader whose deep operating experience and strong record of execution position him well to advance CVG’s strategy and drive growth,” said William C. Johnson, Chairman of the Board. “David is a seasoned, results-oriented executive who has led complex global businesses, including in the commercial vehicle and electrical markets that are central to the Company. He is the right leader to guide CVG through its next phase of growth, and I am confident that this transition will be smooth.”

Mr. Ruppel said, “I am honored to be appointed President and CEO and thank the Board for its confidence. I look forward to partnering with our talented employees around the world as we execute our strategy and deliver value for our customers and shareholders. CVG is a diverse organization with a global footprint and broad product portfolio, and I am excited for the opportunity to lead it. Having spent my career in markets closely aligned with CVG’s, I see a strong foundation with clear potential to deliver profitable growth.”

Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations

Third Quarter 2026 Results

  • Third quarter 2026 revenues were $208.1 million, compared to $152.5 million in the prior year period, an increase of 36.5%. The overall increase in revenues was primarily due to increased customer demand in global markets and the ramp of previously awarded new business wins across all three of our segments. 
  • Operating income in the third quarter 2026 was $7.7 million, which included $3.1 million gain on sale of assets, up $8.7 million compared to an operating loss of $1.1 million in the prior year period. Third quarter 2026 adjusted operating income was $5.6 million, compared to adjusted operating income of $1.6 million in the prior year period. The increase in adjusted operating income was primarily attributable to the impact of higher sales volumes and operational efficiency improvements, partially offset by higher SG&A expense, driven primarily by share-based compensation, increased performance-based incentive compensation, and recruiting costs related to the CEO succession process.
  • Interest associated with debt and other expenses was $3.4 million and $4.1 million for the third quarter 2026 and 2025, respectively, with the decrease for the third quarter 2026 due to lower debt balances.
  • Net income from continuing operations was $5.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2026 compared to net loss of $6.8 million, or $(0.20) per diluted share, in the prior year period. Net income includes a $4.1 million pre-tax warrant liability revaluation benefit. Third quarter 2026 adjusted net income from continuing operations was $1.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $4.6 million, or $(0.14) per diluted share.

On September 30, 2026, the Company had $34.2 million of outstanding borrowings on its U.S. revolving credit facility and $1.5 million outstanding borrowings on its China credit facility, $39.8 million of cash and $83.3 million of availability from the credit facilities (subject to customary borrowing base and other conditions), resulting in total liquidity of $123.1 million.

Third Quarter 2026 Segment Results

Global Seating Segment

  • Revenues were $84.7 million compared to $68.7 million for the prior year period, an increase of 23.3%, due primarily to increased customer demand in North America and Asia-Pacific markets.
  • Operating income was $3.6 million, compared to $1.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of $2.2 million, driven by higher sales and improved gross margin performance. Third quarter 2026 adjusted operating income was $4.6 million compared to $2.9 million in the prior year period.

Global Electrical Systems Segment

  • Revenues were $64.4 million compared to $49.5 million in the prior year period, an increase of 30.2%, primarily as a result of ramping new business wins and increased customer demand in construction markets.
  • Operating income was $3.7 million compared to operating income of $0.8 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to higher volume and product mix.

Trim Systems and Components Segment

  • Revenues were $58.9 million compared to $34.3 million in the prior year period, an increase of 71.9%, primarily due to higher sales volume as a result of increased customer demand in North America, including improved product mix.
  • Operating income was $5.8 million compared to operating loss of $0.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to higher demand, improved operational efficiencies, and a gain on sale of assets. Third quarter 2026 adjusted operating income was $2.7 million compared to an adjusted operating loss of $0.3 million in the prior year period.

Outlook

CVG updated the Company’s outlook for the full year 2026, based on current market conditions:

Metric Prior 2026 Outlook ($ millions) Updated 2026 Outlook ($ millions)
Revenues $725 – $755 $755 – $775
Adjusted EBITDA $26 – $31 $26 – $29
Free Cash Flow Positive Positive

This outlook reflects, among others, current industry forecasts for North America Class 8 truck builds. According to ACT Research, 2026 North American Class 8 truck production levels are expected to be at 272,442 units, up 8% versus the 2025 actual Class 8 truck builds of 251,251 units.

The outlook for the Construction end market reflects high-single digit growth in 2026.

Our long-term incentive awards are designed to align executive compensation with shareholder returns. Our adjusted EBITDA outlook incorporates current estimates of long-term performance shares settled in cash. Under GAAP accounting, such awards are remeasured each reporting period. Therefore, changes in our share price could materially affect our Adjusted EBITDA outlook. While this creates periodic earnings volatility under GAAP, it does not represent a corresponding change in our underlying cost structure. (see Appendix A)

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In general, the non-GAAP measures exclude items that (i) management believes reflect the Company’s multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance, engage in financial and operational planning and to determine incentive compensation.

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on the Company’s financial and operating results and in comparing the Company’s performance to that of its competitors and to comparable reporting periods. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.

Raised Quarterly Dividend by 4% and Delivered 2% Quarter-over-Quarter Net Production Growth 

Sharpened Focus on California through Uinta Basin Sale and Closing of Crimson Midstream Acquisition

LONG BEACH, Calif., Nov. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — California Resources Corporation (NYSE: CRC) today reported its financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2026. The Company plans to host a conference call and webcast at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Conference call details can be found within this release.

Third Quarter Highlights

  • Delivered average net production of 152 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoe/d) (80% oil)
  • Reported a net loss of $315 million which includes the non-cash loss of $540 million from changes in the fair value of outstanding commodity derivatives, adjusted net income1 of $104 million and $341 million of adjusted EBITDAX1 which exceeded quarterly guidance
  • Generated net cash provided by operating activities of $305 million, deployed $158 million of total capital and delivered $147 million of free cash flow1
  • Returned $66 million to shareholders, including $36 million in dividends and $30 million in share repurchases2
  • Increased quarterly dividend by 4%, reinforcing commitment to sustainable shareholder returns; declared quarterly dividend of $0.42/share to be paid in the fourth quarter of 20262
  • Ended the quarter with $1,280 million in borrowing capacity and $35 million in available cash and cash equivalents3, representing $1,315 million of liquidity1, 3

Other Highlights

  • Announced a memorandum of understanding4 (MOU) with Bloom Energy to jointly evaluate and target the potential development of 1 gigawatt (GW) or more of solid-oxide fuel cell power generation paired with carbon capture and storage. See California Resources Corporation Announces Strategic Collaboration with Bloom Energy to Advance Decarbonized Power Across California for additional information
  • Signed agreement to divest its Uinta Basin (Utah) assets for total cash consideration of approximately $90 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The transaction is expected to close by year-end, subject to certain third-party consents and other customary closing conditions. See California Resources Corporation Announces Divestiture of Uinta Basin Assets for additional information
  • Closed its all-cash acquisition of Crimson Midstream Holdings, LLC (“Crimson”), strengthening CRC’s Leading Energy Infrastructure Platform and expanding options for potential longer-term development of CO₂ transportation across California. See California Resources Corporation Completes Acquisition of Crimson for additional information
  • Published the 2025 Sustainability Update providing an overview of CRC’s sustainability efforts and performance

“Our team continues to execute exceptionally well through strong operational performance, synergy realization from our strategic initiatives and impressive free cash flow,” said Francisco Leon, CRC’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Through continued capital discipline and the ongoing focus on sustainable efficiency gains, we are improving free cash flow and our liquidity profile. In addition, we remain committed to our shareholder capital return program with share repurchases and dividends, the latter demonstrated by the 4% dividend per share increase we announced today. We have also made significant progress on strategic priorities, including the Crimson pipeline acquisition, along with the Uinta Basin asset sale and Bloom Energy partnership. These initiatives broaden and strengthen our commitment to the Golden State while continuing to deliver value to all CRC constituents including our shareholders and California communities.”

Third Quarter 2026 Results

  • Net NGL and natural gas production exceeded guidance by approximately 1 MBoe/d, supported by the new Belridge-Elk Hills connection and California’s first carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at CRC’s Elk Hills Cryogenic Gas Plant, which led to increased gas processing and NGL recovery
  • Electricity revenue net of electricity generation expenses exceeded guidance primarily due to higher prices for resource adequacy revenue and sales from electricity delivered to the wholesale market as Elk Hills power plant ran at a higher operational capacity
  • Operating expenses were higher than anticipated and increased over the prior period, primarily due to higher prices for natural gas purchased and used in steamflood operations, and higher workover activity

Fourth Quarter 2026 Guidance and Preliminary 2027 Outlook

The following table provides select fourth quarter 2026E guidance5. Guidance includes the financial results of the Uinta Basin through year-end 2026, while the preliminary 2027 outlook excludes the Uinta. CRC ran an average of five rigs during the third quarter of 2026 and similarly, expects to run an average of five rigs during the fourth quarter of 2026. CRC plans to enter 2027 with six rigs in California. See Attachment 2 for CRC’s fourth quarter 2026E guidance.

CRC Guidance 4Q26E
Net Production (MBoe/d) 150 – 152
Percentage Oil 79 %
Capital Investments ($ millions) $110 – $130
Adjusted EBITDAX1 ($ millions) $340 – $380

Leon added, “As we look to 2027, CRC is moving from acquisition to optimization. Having built, in our view, California’s leading energy infrastructure platform, our focus now turns to running it better by lowering costs, improving capital efficiency and putting our midstream, power and carbon opportunities to work. That strategy positions us to strengthen free cash flow and continue delivering meaningful returns to our shareholders.”

2027 drilling, completions and workover capital is expected to be $450 – $475 million. Planned activity levels will be supported by the Company’s growing permit inventory and ongoing operational efficiencies. CRC remains focused on disciplined capital allocation, maintaining a strong balance sheet and delivering sustainable shareholder returns. CRC intends to provide full-year 2027 guidance with its fourth quarter and year-end 2026 earnings release. The Company has flexibility to adjust its 2027 capital program to reflect changes in commodity prices and other market factors.

Shareholder Returns

CRC is committed to sustainably returning cash to shareholders through dividends and repurchases of its common stock. In the third quarter of 2026, CRC repurchased 0.6 million shares of its common stock for $30 million at an average price of $53.48 per share and returned $36 million in dividends to shareholders. Since 2021, the Company has returned approximately $1,721 million to shareholders, including $1,210 million in share repurchases and $511 million in dividends. As of September 30, 2026, CRC had $570 million remaining for share repurchases under its authorized Share Repurchase Program through December 31, 20272.

On November 2, 2026, CRC’s Board of Directors amended its cash dividend policy to increase the anticipated total annual dividend by approximately 4% to $1.68, payable to shareholders in quarterly increments of $0.42 per share of common stock. The Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.42 per share of common stock, payable to shareholders of record on December 4, 2026. The dividend is expected to be paid on December 18, 20262.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2026, CRC had $35 million in available cash and cash equivalents3, $1,280 million in available borrowing capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility (which reflects $1,460 million of borrowing capacity less $180 million of outstanding letters of credit) and liquidity of $1,315 million.

In October 2026, CRC entered into a new amendment to its Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date to March 2030, increase the elected commitments of its lenders to $1,470 million, re-affirm its borrowing base at $1,500 million, and implement certain other technical amendments.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
 
To supplement the presentation of its financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), management uses certain non-GAAP measures to assess its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These measures are also widely used by the industry, the investment community and CRC’s lenders. Although these are non-GAAP measures, the amounts included in the calculations were computed in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from these non-GAAP measures are significant components in understanding and assessing CRC’s financial performance, such as CRC’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the effect of acquisition and development costs of CRC’s assets. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures presented, when viewed in combination with CRC’s financial and operating results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s performance. The non-GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Below are additional disclosures regarding each of these non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measure where applicable.

ADJUSTED NET INCOME (LOSS)
 
Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share are non-GAAP measures. CRC defines adjusted net income as net income excluding the effects of significant transactions and events that affect earnings but vary widely and unpredictably in nature, timing and amount. These events may recur, even across successive reporting periods. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to the industry and the investment community interested in comparing CRC’s financial performance between periods. Reported earnings are considered representative of management’s performance over the long term. Adjusted net income (loss) is not considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) reported in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income and net income attributable to common stock per share to the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share.

Adjusted net income per share – diluted   $ 1.17     $ 0.99     $ 1.46     $ 3.03     $ 3.61  

ADJUSTED EBITDAX
 
CRC defines adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before interest expense; income taxes; depreciation, depletion and amortization; exploration expense; other unusual, infrequent and out-of-period items; and other non-cash items. CRC believes this measure provides useful information in assessing its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and is widely used by the industry, the investment community and its lenders. Although this is a non-GAAP measure, the amounts included in the calculation were computed in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from this non-GAAP measure are significant components in understanding and assessing CRC’s financial performance, such as its cost of capital and tax structure, as well as depreciation, depletion and amortization of CRC’s assets. This measure should be read in conjunction with the information contained in CRC’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A version of adjusted EBITDAX is a material component of certain of its financial covenants under CRC’s Revolving Credit Facility and is provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, income and liquidity measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
 
These materials include forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDAX. CRC is unable to provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile these measures is dependent on future events, many of which are outside of CRC’s control and cannot be reasonably predicted at this time. These items include, but are not limited to, changes in working capital, the timing and amount of capital accruals, and other non-cash or unusual items. Accordingly, a quantitative reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts.
 
The following table represents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measures of net income and net cash provided by operating activities to the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted EBITDAX. CRC has included non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDAX for its oil and gas segment and its carbon management segment below. Management believes these segment non-GAAP measures are useful for investors to understand the results of our core businesses.

Erica McLaughlin, Cabot President and Chief Executive Officer commented: “I am pleased by the strong execution of our teams during a fiscal year that was shaped by a difficult macroeconomic backdrop in many of our key end markets. We finished the year with a strong fourth quarter, delivering Adjusted EPS of $1.61, driven by robust performance in our Performance Chemicals segment. The segment delivered EBIT of $60 million in the quarter and $235 million for the fiscal year. Reinforcement Materials delivered segment EBIT of $87 million in the quarter and $379 million for the full year.”

McLaughlin continued, “We also achieved an important milestone in our Battery Materials product line, delivering $43 million of EBITDA for fiscal 2026, a new high for the product line. Building on this momentum, we signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy for a $50 million grant to support our expansion of domestic production of advanced conductive additives for batteries at our facilities in Louisiana and Texas. We expect these investments to strengthen our Battery Materials platform in North America and expand our capabilities to support growing demand for battery energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and other specialty battery applications. As I look ahead, I am excited about Cabot’s prospects and our ability to build on our strong foundation in Battery Materials to drive long-term growth and shareholder value.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Detail
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, net income attributable to Cabot Corporation was $66 million ($1.25 per common share). Net income reflects an after-tax per share charge from certain items of $0.36, primarily related to charges for restructuring actions. Adjusted EPS for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.61 per share.

Segment Results

Reinforcement Materials – Fourth quarter fiscal 2026 EBIT in Reinforcement Materials decreased by $32 million compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The decline in EBIT was primarily driven by lower gross profit per ton, which was partially offset by higher volumes. Gross profit per ton declined primarily due to the outcomes of our calendar year 2026 customer agreements and less favorable regional product mix. Volumes increased by 5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 driven by higher volumes in Asia Pacific and the Americas, including higher volumes from our capacity addition in Indonesia and our acquisition in Mexico.

Global and regional volume changes for Reinforcement Materials for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the same quarter of the prior year are set forth in the table below:

Asia Pacific 10%
Europe, Middle East, Africa (7%)
Americas 3%
   

Performance Chemicals – Fourth quarter fiscal 2026 EBIT in Performance Chemicals increased by $18 million compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily due to higher gross profit per ton and increased volumes. The higher gross profit per ton was driven by favorable product mix and lower costs. Volumes increased in our battery materials and specialty carbons product lines in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

Cash Performance – The Company ended the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 with cash and cash equivalents of $254 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, cash flows from operating activities were a source of $143 million. Uses of cash during the quarter included funding $10 million of higher net working capital due to higher raw material costs, $55 million in capital expenditures, $25 million for the payment of dividends and $45 million in share repurchases. We ended the fourth quarter with $1.5 billion in available liquidity and a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.4 times as of September 30, 2026. 

Taxes – During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company recorded tax expense of $38 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 34%. The provision for income taxes included non-GAAP adjustments of $3 million which is primarily related to an increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Our operating tax rate for the full year fiscal 2026 was 29%.

Outlook
Erica McLaughlin said, “I am honored and excited to take on the role of CEO for Cabot. Having been part of Cabot for many years, I have a deep appreciation for the strength of our businesses, the quality of our people and the differentiated positions we have built across our portfolio. I am energized by the opportunity to lead the company and build on this strong foundation as we enter our next phase of growth.”

Commenting on the outlook, McLaughlin continued, “Looking ahead to fiscal 2027, we expect Adjusted EPS to be in the range of $6.15 to $6.75. We anticipate continuing to increase volumes within our key growth markets, such as battery materials and electronics, as well as with strategic customer accounts. We expect to maintain solid margins as we manage volatile energy input costs and competitive pressures. We remain focused on completing our previously announced restructuring actions, implementing optimization activities and investing in yield technology to improve the competitiveness of our network.”

“While we continue to operate in a dynamic macroeconomic environment, I am confident in the strength of our businesses and our ability to execute. We anticipate continuing to generate strong operating cash flow and maintaining our balanced capital allocation framework that supports growth investments while continuing to return cash to shareholders. In addition, we remain focused on advancing our strategic growth priorities and maintaining commercial and operational discipline to deliver long-term value for our shareholders,” McLaughlin concluded.

Forward-Looking Statements – This earnings release contains forward-looking statements. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including with respect to our expectations for our performance in fiscal year 2027, including our expectations for Adjusted EPS for fiscal 2027 , our expectations for the benefits from investments we expect to make to increase our battery materials production capacity in the U.S., our expectations for our profit margins, cash flows and capital allocation, and our expectations for future performance, growth and value creation for shareholders and our assumptions underlying those expectations are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, potentially inaccurate assumptions, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict. If known or unknown risks materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, our actual results could differ materially from past results and from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the inherent uncertainty of management transitions and the ability of the Company to successfully execute its planned leadership transition; industry capacity utilization, shifts in the geographic area of tire production and competition from other specialty chemical companies; safety, health and environmental requirements and related constraints imposed on our business; regulatory and financial risks related to climate change developments; volatility in the price and availability of energy and raw materials, including with respect to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East; a significant adverse change in a customer relationship or the failure of a customer to perform its obligations under agreements with us; failure to achieve growth expectations from capacity additions, new products, applications and technology developments; failure to realize benefits from acquisitions, alliances, or joint ventures or achieve our portfolio management objectives; unanticipated delays in, or increased cost of, site development projects; negative or uncertain worldwide or regional economic conditions and market opportunities, including from trade relations, global health matters or geo-political conflicts; litigation or legal proceedings; interest rates, tax rates, currency exchange controls, tariffs and fluctuations in foreign currency rates; and the accuracy of the assumptions we used in establishing reserves for our share of liability for respirator claims. These factors are discussed more fully in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), particularly under the heading “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, which are filed with the SEC at www.sec.gov. We assume no obligation to provide revisions to any forward-looking statements should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Cabot’s consolidated financial statements presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis, the preceding discussion of our results and the accompanying financial tables report Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, our operating tax rate, Free Cash Flow and Discretionary Free Cash Flow, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not computed in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP, and the definitions of these measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies. Reconciliations of Adjusted EPS to net income (loss) per share attributable to Cabot Corporation, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA to Income (loss) from operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of affiliated companies, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of each such non-GAAP measure, operating tax rate to effective tax rate, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and Free Cash Flow and Discretionary Free Cash Flow to Cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, are provided in the tables titled “Cabot Corporation Certain Items and Reconciliation of Adjusted EPS and Operating Tax Rate” and “Cabot Corporation Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with greater transparency to the information used by Cabot management in its financial and operational decision-making, allow investors to see Cabot’s results through the eyes of management, and better enable Cabot’s investors to understand Cabot’s operating performance and financial condition.

Adjusted EPS. In calculating Adjusted EPS, we exclude from our net income (loss) attributable to Cabot Corporation items of expense and income that management does not consider representative of the Company’s business operations. Accordingly, reporting earnings on an adjusted basis supplements the GAAP measure of performance and provides additional information related to the underlying performance of the business. For example, certain of the items we exclude are items that we are required by GAAP to recognize in one period that relate to activities extending over several periods or relate to single events that management considers to be unusual and infrequent, although not necessarily non-recurring. We refer to these items as “certain items.” Management believes excluding these items facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense and income items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis and evaluates the Company’s operating performance without the impact of these costs or benefits. Management also uses Adjusted EPS as a key measure in evaluating management performance for incentive compensation purposes.

The items of income and expense that we exclude from our calculations of Adjusted EPS but that are included in our GAAP net income (loss) per share, as applicable in a particular reporting period, include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Global restructuring activities, which include costs or benefits associated with cost reduction initiatives or plant closures and are primarily related to (i) employee termination costs, (ii) asset impairment charges associated with restructuring actions, (iii) costs to close facilities, including environmental costs and contract termination penalties, and (iv) gains realized on the sale of land or equipment associated with restructured plants or locations.
  • Legal and environmental matters and reserves, which consist of costs or benefits for matters typically related to former businesses or that are otherwise incurred outside of the ordinary course of business.
  • Acquisition and integration-related charges, which include transaction costs, redundant costs incurred during the period of integration, and costs associated with transitioning certain management and business processes to Cabot’s processes.
  • Employee benefit plan settlements, which consist of either charges or benefits associated with the termination of a pension plan
  • Indirect tax settlement charges, which include unfavorable charges related to the settlement of indirect taxes

Cabot does not provide an expected GAAP EPS range or reconciliation of the Adjusted EPS range with an expected GAAP EPS range because, without unreasonable effort, we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the matters we would allocate to “certain items,” including unusual gains and losses, costs associated with future restructurings, acquisition-related expenses and litigation outcomes. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP EPS in future periods.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA reflects Income (loss) from operations before income taxes and equity in earnings of affiliated companies adjusted for certain items, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity in earnings of affiliated companies, and unallocated corporate costs, which include unallocated corporate overhead expenses such as certain corporate salaries and headquarters expenses, plus costs related to corporate projects and initiatives.

Free Cash Flow. To calculate “Free Cash Flow” we deduct Additions to property, plant and equipment from cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities.

Discretionary Free Cash Flow. To calculate “Discretionary Free Cash Flow” we deduct sustaining and compliance capital expenditures and changes in Net Working Capital from cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities.

Operating Tax Rate. Our “operating tax rate” is calculated based upon management’s forecast of the annual operating tax rate for the fiscal year applied to adjusted pre-tax earnings. The operating tax rate excludes income tax (expense) benefit on certain items, discrete tax items and, on a quarterly basis the timing of losses in certain jurisdictions. The income tax (expense) benefit on certain items is determined using the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which the certain items occurred and includes both current and deferred income tax (expense) benefit based on the nature of the certain items. Discrete tax items include, but are not limited to, changes in valuation allowance, uncertain tax positions, and other tax items, such as the tax impact of legislative changes and tax accruals on historic earnings due to changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful supplemental information because it helps our investors compare our tax rate year to year on a consistent basis and to understand what our tax rate on current operations would be without the impact of these items.

Cabot does not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of the operating tax rate range with an effective tax rate range because, without unreasonable effort, we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the matters we would allocate to “certain items,” including unusual gains and losses, costs associated with future restructurings, acquisition-related expenses and litigation outcomes. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the effective tax rate in future periods.

Explanation of Terms Used

Product Mix. The term “product mix” refers to the mix of types and grades of products sold or the mix of geographic regions where products are sold, and the positive or negative impact this has on the revenue or profitability of the business or segment.

(A) Non-GAAP adjustments includes Non-GAAP tax adjustments, which are described in (B) below, and in fiscal 2025 an adjustment to the historical earnings allocated to a noncontrolling interest partner, which is included in Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
(B) Non-GAAP tax adjustments are made to arrive at the operating tax provision. It includes the income tax (expense) benefit on certain items, discrete tax items, and, on a quarterly basis the timing of losses in certain jurisdictions. The income tax (expense) benefit on certain items is determined using the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which the certain items occurred and includes both current and deferred income tax (expense) benefit based on the nature of the certain items. Discrete tax items include, but are not limited to, changes in valuation allowance, uncertain tax positions, and other tax items, such as the tax impact of legislative changes and tax accruals on historic earnings due to changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions.
(C) This table indicates the line items where certain items are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(D) The operating tax rate is calculated based upon management’s forecast of the annual operating tax rate for the fiscal year applied to adjusted pre-tax earnings. The operating tax rate excludes income tax (expense) benefit on certain items, discrete tax items and, on a quarterly basis the timing of losses in certain jurisdictions.
(E) Our operating tax rate for fiscal 2027 is expected to be in the range of 28% to 30%.
(F) Per share amounts are calculated after tax.

  • New Phase 2 REC-4881 data presented at CGA-IGC in an expanded adult population aged 18 years and older show deep, durable polyp burden reductions in FAP, with activity throughout the GI tract and in larger, higher-risk polyps.
  • REC-4881 shows deep activity throughout the GI tract in post colectomy patients, including near-clearance: After 12 weeks of treatment, nearly 1 in 2 patients in the upper GI and more than 1 in 3 in the lower GI achieved polyp burden reductions of ≥65%. Two patients achieved ≥98% reductions in upper GI polyp burden. 
  • REC-4881 reductions persisted off treatment: Twelve weeks after stopping treatment, 85% of evaluable patients remained below baseline polyp burden.
  • REC-4881 reductions in larger, higher-risk polyps: Six of eight patients with polyps >5 mm at baseline had reductions in these polyp counts after 12 weeks of treatment; four had reductions of at least 80%, including two whose larger-polyp counts fell from more than 90 to one.
  • REC-4881 no new safety signals observed: Favorable chronic dosing safety profile, with predominantly Grade 1/2 AEs, and no additional discontinuations reported since the prior data cutoff.
  • REC-1245 Phase 1 data update: Encouraging monotherapy activity with 2 confirmed partial responses in endometrial cancer, 1 unconfirmed partial response in liver cancer, and a 91.7% disease control rate (11/12) at doses ≥45 mg; 45 mg selected for exploratory expansion cohorts based on emerging efficacy and manageable safety profile.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Recursion (Nasdaq: RXRX), a leading clinical-stage company pioneering AI-enabled drug discovery and development, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, together with business updates highlighting continued clinical, pipeline and platform execution.

Recursion will host a webinar with earnings updates on REC-4881 data, REC-1245 data, as well as REC-4881 KOL and patient panels, presented live from CGA-IGC on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 at 8:00 am ET / 6:00 am MT / 1:00 pm GMT from Recursion’s X, LinkedIn, and YouTube accounts giving analysts, investors, and the public the opportunity to ask questions of the Company by submitting questions here: Question Form.

“To pioneer a new blueprint for making medicines with AI, we believe you have to tie together three core capabilities in one engine: uncover novel biology, design differentiated molecules against challenging targets, and generate clinical evidence that matters for patients,” said Najat Khan, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Recursion. “The new TUPELO data are important clinical evidence, with REC-4881 showing deep polyp burden reductions across the upper and lower GI tract, including larger, higher-risk polyps, and reductions that persist after treatment stops. REC-1245 is an encouraging early example of that engine coming together within a single program, from biological insight surfaced by our platform to molecule design and now early clinical signals in heavily pretreated patients.”

“Beyond our own pipeline, Sanofi has optioned a potential first-in-class molecule against a challenging dual target, while Genentech has advanced an unexplored neuroscience target from our maps. These are different programs, but they are outputs of the same AI-native engine, providing evidence of repeatability. We will keep concentrating capital where the evidence is strongest and turning innovation into impact for patients who are waiting.”

Internal Pipeline Highlights

Pipeline image

Recursion internal pipeline: five oncology and rare-disease programs (REC-4881, REC-1245, REC-4539, REC-7735, REC-102) shown by target, indication, addressable patient population, development stage, next catalyst, and AI-enabled differentiation.

Positive Phase 2 results from ongoing TUPELO trial of REC-4881 in FAP highlight activity across GI tract and on larger polyps

FAP is a genetically defined driver of GI cancer, affecting >50,000 patients in the US and EU5 who face major surgeries and life-long surveillance with no approved therapies, representing a potential $15 billion opportunity, based on Company estimates. Among the approximately 35,000 post-colectomy patients, upper GI disease represents the highest unmet need in FAP, due to risks of bleeding and perforation from polyp removal, high complication and morbidity rates from surgery, and higher cancer risk.

REC-4881, a potential first-in-class oral therapy granted FDA Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations, is designed to address both Wnt/β-catenin initiation and MAPK evolution pathways. The opportunity was identified through unbiased phenotypic screening using Recursion’s proprietary AI foundation models, which revealed MEK1/2 inhibition as a potential way to reverse cellular phenotypes associated with APC loss, a previously unappreciated synthetic rescue relationship.

On November 2, Recursion announced further positive data from its ongoing Phase 1b/2 TUPELO trial of REC-4881, an investigational, oral MEK1/2 inhibitor in development for FAP. These data were presented by Lisa Boardman, M.D., Professor of Medicine at Mayo Clinic, in a presidential plenary session at The Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited Gastrointestinal Cancer (CGA-IGC) Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado.

  • Deep, durable reductions in total polyp burden, strengthened in the expanded adult FAP population (18+): After 12 weeks of REC-4881 (4 mg QD), 87% of patients (13 of 15) had a reduction in total polyp burden, with a 47% median reduction; approximately 1 in 3 achieved reductions of ≥65%. Twelve weeks after stopping treatment, 85% of evaluable patients (11 of 13) remained below baseline.
  • Activity across the upper and lower GI tract, including near-clearance: After 12 weeks of treatment, median polyp burden reductions were 55% in the upper GI and 50% in the lower GI, supporting REC-4881’s potential as a single oral therapy to address FAP across the GI tract.
  • Upper GI, the area of greatest unmet need in FAP (results first reported Oct. 15): 92% of patients (12 of 13) had reductions after 12 weeks of treatment, with two patients achieving ≥98% reductions; half (6 of 12) improved by at least one Spigelman stage; and 92% (11 of 12) remained below baseline 12 weeks after stopping treatment.
  • New lower GI results highlight breadth of activity: 9 of 11 patients (82%) with measurable lower GI polyp burden at baseline had reductions after 12 weeks of treatment, with a 50% median reduction and 1 in 3 achieving ≥65%; 70% of evaluable patients remained below baseline 12 weeks after stopping treatment.
  • New analysis shows substantial reductions in larger, higher-risk polyps: 6 of 8 patients with polyps >5 mm at baseline had fewer of these polyps after 12 weeks of treatment. Four achieved reductions of ≥80%, including two whose counts fell from more than 90 polyps to one. Six of eight remained below their baseline count 12 weeks after stopping treatment.
  • No new safety signals observed: Favorable chronic dosing safety profile. The highest-grade treatment-related adverse event was Grade 1 or 2 in 21 of 26 patients (81%) and Grade 3 in four patients (15%); one patient had no TRAEs. No Grade 4 or 5 TRAEs, and no additional discontinuations since the previous data cutoff.

The Company anticipates initiating a registrational trial in the second half of 2027, pending ongoing FDA discussions, and will provide additional details later this year.

Early data from the Phase 1 dose-escalation portion of DAHLIA, our ongoing open-label Phase 1/2 study of REC-1245, show the following (data cutoff: August 21, 2026):

REC-1245 is a potential first-in-class oral molecular glue designed to exploit a synthetic-lethal vulnerability in cancers by degrading RBM39, a splicing factor that regulates genes involved in DNA repair and stress response. The Recursion platform contributed each of the three core elements of the program: the target, the molecule and the initial hypotheses on which patients are most likely to benefit. The target emerged from Recursion’s platform, which found that degrading RBM39 mimics the loss of CDK12, while sparing CDK13-associated liabilities. REC-1245 was identified within 18 months after screening only 204 compounds using Recursion’s design platform. The same platform-derived biology pointed to tumors intrinsically primed by replication stress and reliance on accurate splicing, including hard-to-treat cancers such as endometrial, hepatocellular and ovarian cancers and transcriptionally driven tumors.

  • Three partial responses per RECIST 1.1 criteria (2 confirmed, 1 unconfirmed) in heavily pretreated patients with endometrial cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, all at doses of 45 mg once daily (QD) or higher, with a disease control rate of 91.7% at those doses (n=12).
  • Recursion has selected 45 mg QD for exploratory expansion cohorts, including endometrial cancer, where limited second-line treatments are approved; at the 45 mg QD dose (n=10), no dose-limiting toxicities or treatment-related serious adverse events were observed, and treatment-related adverse events were predominantly Grade 1 or 2. Most frequent TRAEs were Grade 1 or Grade 2 fatigue and anemia (30% each).
  • Preliminary dose expansion data in endometrial cancer are expected in the second half of 2027. Dose escalation will also continue in other solid tumor indications.

Other Portfolio Updates: REC-7735 is an orally bioavailable, precision-designed small molecule inhibitor of PI3Kα H1047R generated using the Recursion OS. In the second half of 2026, Recursion initiated the Phase 1/2 ZINNIA clinical study for patients with select PIK3CA H1047R-mutant solid tumors.

As announced in October 2026, given the promising data in REC-4881 and REC-1245, Recursion plans to continue to focus resources on its high-impact partnerships and internal programs including REC-4881 (MEK1/2 – familial adenomatous polyposis), REC-1245 (RBM39 – endometrial cancer and other solid tumors), REC-4539 (LSD1 – solid tumors and hematology), REC-7735 (PI3Kα H1047R – solid tumors) and REC-102 (ENPP1 – hypophosphatasia). Recursion intends to pursue partnership opportunities to advance REC-617 (CDK7) and REC-3565 (MALT1).

Partnered Discovery Highlights Recursion’s 9th Milestone Achieved in Past Two Years

Sanofi options potential first-in-class immunology development candidate

Sanofi has optioned the first development candidate from the two companies’ multi-program research collaboration. The candidate has now been added to Sanofi’s development pipeline and is expected to enter Phase 1 clinical trials in 2027, with Sanofi funding and leading further development and commercialization to advance the program toward patients.

The option triggered a $10 million milestone payment to Recursion, bringing total upfront and milestone payments achieved from Sanofi under the collaboration to $144 million; Recursion is eligible for more than $300 million in additional milestones under the program, with double digit royalties on net product sales, if approved.

The potential first-in-class oral small molecule was designed to achieve a differentiated profile against a challenging dual target implicated in inflammatory disease. Optimizing for this target pair required navigating complex and competing chemistry constraints to achieve the desired balance of drug-like properties. The candidate was delivered by the combination of Recursion’s integrated AI-enabled drug design platform and small-molecule chemistry capabilities with Sanofi’s deep expertise in drug discovery and immunology. Recursion applied multiple computational design approaches across iterative cycles of prediction, chemical design, synthesis, and experimental validation to rapidly explore and optimize a complex chemical space.

With the first development candidate optioned, the collaboration has now achieved six progress-based milestones across five programs. Additional programs across the collaboration continue to advance. Over the next 12 months, other programs in the joint portfolio have the potential to reach development candidate and other progress-based milestones.

To learn more about this milestone, read the press release.

Genentech advanced first neuroscience target into early discovery program

In 3Q26, Genentech exercised the first Validated Target Option under the companies’ neuroscience collaboration, advancing a previously unexplored neuroscience target.

The milestone provides additional early evidence that Recursion’s AI-native platform can both discover and play a key role experimentally validating unexplored therapeutic targets in neuroscience, one of medicine’s most challenging therapeutic areas, where decades of research have largely focused on a limited number of well-studied targets. Predictions generated from the first whole-genome CRISPR knockout map, which was built by Recursion in partnership with Roche and Genentech from a subset of over 1 trillion internally manufactured iPSC-derived neuronal cells, were rigorously jointly validated with Genentech. Only targets that consistently demonstrated compelling evidence across pathway, functional, and disease validation progress into a validation package.

Next steps will include advancing the target through small molecule design, hit generation, and validation using Recursion’s AI-native chemistry platform. More broadly, the neuronal and microglial maps of biology remain reusable assets capable of being collaboratively utilized with biological, genetics, and computational expertise to generate and experimentally validate additional therapeutic hypotheses. To date, Recursion has achieved $216 million in upfront and milestone payments from the Roche and Genentech collaboration. The collaboration includes up to 40 potential small molecule discovery programs, each carrying the potential for more than $300 million in development, commercialization, and net sales milestones as well as tiered royalties up to high single digits per small molecule program for Recursion.

Potential upcoming milestones across partnered discovery:

  • Potential for additional differentiated AI-enabled oral molecules to reach development candidate and late-stage discovery milestones with Sanofi over the next 12 months
  • Translating AI-driven insights from maps of biology into new potentially novel targets from reusable high-dimensional data/maps with Roche and Genentech
  • Using Recursion’s chemistry platform to design potential first-in-class molecules for the collaboration’s first neuroscience target with Genentech

Fred Hassan appointed Chair of the Board

Recursion announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Fred Hassan as Chair, effective October 31, 2026.

Mr. Hassan brings more than four decades of pharmaceutical leadership spanning company transformation, drug development, commercialization, investing and Board service. As Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Schering-Plough, he led a transformation that restored sales growth and strong cash flow while expanding the company’s Phase 3 pipeline from three new molecular entities to eight. He previously served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pharmacia.

Mr. Hassan also brings extensive perspective from across the biotechnology and investment ecosystem. He serves as Lead Independent Director of BridgeBio Pharma, where his Board tenure has spanned the FDA approval and U.S. launch of Attruby, and as Executive Chair of Norstella, the pharmaceutical intelligence company behind Citeline, MMIT and Evaluate. His prior Board roles include Amgen and Prometheus Biosciences. He is also a Director at Warburg Pincus, where he previously served as Partner and Managing Director.

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

  • Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $561.5 million as of September 30, 2026. Including net proceeds of approximately $187.2 million from the Company’s underwritten offering which completed on October 16, 2026, pro forma cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were approximately $748.7 million. Based on current operating plans with no additional financing, the Company expects its cash runway to extend into 2029.
  • Revenue: Total revenue, consisting primarily of revenue from collaboration agreements, was $18.6 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2025. The increase was driven primarily by the Company’s collaboration with Sanofi, under which the Company achieved a $10.0 million milestone for an immunology small molecule program during the quarter.
  • Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $99.1 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $121.1 million for the third quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven primarily by $22.8 million of in-process research and development costs related to the acquisition of full rights to REC-102, Recursion’s ENPP1 inhibitor for the treatment of hypophosphatasia (HPP), from its joint venture with Rallybio that were recognized in the third quarter of 2025 and did not recur in the current period.
  • General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $32.6 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $41.6 million for the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in general and administrative expense compared to the prior period was primarily driven by a decrease in infrastructure technology expenses and professional service costs.
  • Net Loss: Net loss was $119.0 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $162.3 million for the third quarter of 2025.
  • Operational Cash Flows: Net cash used in operating activities was $77.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $117.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by operating efficiencies across the company and working capital movements.
  • Cash Operating Expense: Cash operating expense, excluding partnership inflows and transaction costs, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $271.5 million compared to $323.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The reconciliation of operating cash expense to net cash used in operating activities is provided in the following tables:

Cash Operating Expense – Nine months ended September 30, 2026 (in millions)  
Net cash used in operating activities $ 264.5 *
Add: partnership inflows   7.0  
Cash Operating Expense – Nine months ended September 30, 2026 $ 271.5  

*This is from the Recursion Inc Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 (see above)

Cash Operating Expense – Nine months ended September 30, 2025 (in millions)  
Net cash used in operating activities $ 325.7   *
Add: partnership inflows   7.0    
Subtract: Transaction costs   (9.6 )  
Cash Operating Expense – Nine months ended September 30, 2025 $ 323.1    

*This is from the Recursion Inc Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (see above)

To supplement our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we monitor and consider operating cash expense, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define cash operating expense as the net cash used in operating activities, excluding non-ordinary course transaction costs and partnership cash inflows. This non-GAAP financial measure is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. We believe operating cash expense to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash consumed by the operations of the business. A limitation of using this non-U.S. GAAP measure is that operating cash expense does not represent the total change in cash and cash equivalents for the period because it excludes cash provided by or used for other investing and financing activities. We account for this limitation by providing information about our capital expenditures and other investing and financing activities in the statements of cash flows in our financial statements. Additionally, we reconciled operating cash expense above to net cash used in operating activities, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. In addition, it is important to note that other companies, including companies in our industry, may not use operating cash expense, may calculate operating cash expense in a different manner than we do or may use other financial measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of operating cash expense as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, operating cash expense should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

About DBV Technologies
DBV Technologies is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing treatment options for food allergies and other immunologic conditions with significant unmet medical need.

DBV Technologies is committed to transforming the care of people with food allergies. The Company’s food allergy programs include ongoing clinical trials of VIASKIN® Peanut Patch in toddlers (1 through 3 years of age) and children (4 through 7 years of age) with peanut allergy.

(“NanoXplore” or the “Company”), a world leader in graphene production and graphene-enhanced materials, today announced the appointment of Constantino Malatesta as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective November 11, 2026.

Mr. Malatesta joins NanoXplore from CAE Inc.

Marinaccio concluded: “I also want to thank Pedro Azevedo for his contributions to NanoXplore and for his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition. Pedro played an important role in NanoXplore’s evolution, instilling a culture of operational and financial discipline that has positioned us well for our next phase of growth. On behalf of the Board and the entire leadership team, I thank Pedro for his dedication and wish him every success. ”
