PERMA-FIX ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2025
(Unaudited)
| 1. | Basis of Presentation |
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company (which may be referred to as we, us or our), without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Further, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries.
| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Our accounting policies are as set forth in the notes to the December 31, 2024, consolidated financial statements referred to above.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards –Adopted
In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05, “Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement.” ASU 2023-05 applies to the formation of a “joint venture” or a “corporate joint venture” and requires a joint venture to initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value. The guidance does not impact accounting by the venturers. The new guidance is applicable to joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2023-05 by the Company on January 1, 2025, had no impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards – Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state, and local jurisdictions, among other changes. ASU 2023-09 will become effective starting with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Other than the updated disclosure requirements, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
| 8 |
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement— Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which enhances the disclosures required for certain expense captions in the Company’s annual and interim consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective prospectively or retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statement disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.” ASU 2025-05 provides the option to elect a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on these assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company for fiscal year and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2025, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangible - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” ASU 2025-06 removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. The ASU requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The standard allows for prospective, modified, or retrospective transition. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to its consolidated financial statements.
| 3. | Revenue |
Disaggregation of Revenue
In general, the Company’s business segmentation is aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of our services and provides meaningful disaggregation of each business segment’s results of operations. The nature of the Company’s performance obligations within our Treatment and Services Segments result in the recognition of our revenue primarily over time. The following tables present further disaggregation of our revenues by different categories for our Services and Treatment Segments:
| Revenue by Contract Type (In thousands) | Three Months Ended | Three Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition and billings can result in unbilled receivables (contract assets). The Company’s contract liabilities consist of deferred revenues which represent advance payment from customers in advance of the completion of the Company’s performance obligation. The following table represents changes in our contract asset and contract liabilities balances for the periods noted:
| (In thousands) | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | Year-to-date Change ($) | Year-to-date Change (%) | ||||||||||||
| Contract assets | ||||||||||||||||
| Unbilled receivables - current | $ | $ | $ | % | ||||||||||||
| Contract liabilities | ||||||||||||||||
| Deferred revenue | $ | $ | $ | % | ||||||||||||
The increase in unbilled receivables as of September 30, 2025, from December 31, 2024, was attributed primarily to increase in revenue from the Company’s Treatment Segment.

| Accounts Receivable (net) | $ | $ | $ | ( | ) | - | % | |||||||||
Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company applies the practical expedient in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.
Within our Services Segment, there are service contracts which provide that the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18, which allows the Company to recognize revenue in the amount for which we have the right to invoice; accordingly, the Company does not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for those contracts.
The Company’s contracts and subcontracts relating to activities at governmental sites generally allow for termination for convenience at any time at the government’s option without payment of a substantial penalty. The Company does not disclose remaining performance obligations on these contracts.
| 4. | Leases |
At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on facts and circumstances present in that arrangement. Lease classifications, recognition, and measurement are then determined at the lease commencement date.
The Company’s operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities include primarily leases for office and warehouse spaces used to conduct our business. Finance leases primarily consist of lab, processing and transport equipment used by our facilities’ operations.
The components of lease cost for the Company’s leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted loss per share is based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares plus the weighted average number of potential outstanding common shares. In periods where they are anti-dilutive, such amounts are excluded from the calculations of dilutive earnings per share. The following table reconciles the loss and average share amounts used to compute both basic and diluted loss per share:

Credit Facility
The
Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 8, 2020, which has since
been amended, with PNC National Association (“PNC” and “lender”), acting as agent and lender (the “Loan
Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides the Company with a credit facility with a maturity date of
| 16 |
No early termination fee shall apply if the Company pays off its obligations under the Loan Agreement after July 31, 2025.
On March 11, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to its Loan Agreement with its lender which provided the following, among other things:
| ● | removed
the quarterly fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) covenant testing requirement
utilizing a twelve-month trailing basis; however, such FCCR testing requirement will be triggered
on the day the Company fails to meet a minimum of $ | |
| ● | ||
| ● | required
payment of an amendment fee of $ |
As
of September 30, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowing under its Revolving Credit and its Liquidity was approximately $
The Company’s Loan Agreement, as amended, with PNC contains certain financial covenant requirements, along with customary representations and warranties. A breach of any of these financial covenant requirements, unless waived by PNC, could result in a default under the Company’s Loan Agreement allowing its lender to immediately require the repayment of all outstanding debt under the Company’s Loan Agreement and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. The Company met all of its financial covenant requirements in the first, second and third quarters of 2025.

Hazardous Waste
In connection with our waste management services, the Company processes hazardous, non-hazardous, low-level radioactive and mixed (containing both hazardous and low-level radioactive) waste, which we transport to our own, or other, facilities for destruction or disposal. As a result of disposing of hazardous substances, in the event any cleanup is required at the disposal site, the Company could be a potentially responsible party for the costs of the cleanup notwithstanding any absence of fault on our part.
Legal Matters
In the normal course of conducting our business, the Company may be involved in various litigation. The Company is not a party to any litigation or governmental proceeding which our management believe could result in any judgments or fines against us that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of future operations.
Michael O’Neill
On November 25, 2024, purported shareholder Michael O’Neill filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company and all current directors of the Company, asserting individual and class action claims for alleged breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty. The case is styled Michael O’Neill v. Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2024-1211-PAF.
| 17 |
The complaint purports to be brought by the named plaintiff individually and on behalf of all “similarly situated Perma-Fix stockholders.” According to the complaint, defendants allegedly made materially false and misleading statements in its proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 8, 2023 regarding the effect of broker non-votes as it relates to an amendment to the Company’s 2017 Stock Option Plan. In particular, the complaint alleges that defendants incorrectly stated in the proxy statement that broker non-votes would have no effect on the vote solicited to approve an amendment to the Company’s 2017 Stock Option Plan to increase by shares the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the plan, resulting in an alleged defective approval of the plan amendment. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the Company has not issued any options under the plan relating to the additional shares included in the plan amendment.
The Defendants are vigorously defending against the complaint.

Shareholder Demand Letter
The Company’s Board received a demand letter, dated February 4, 2025 (the “Letter”), from a putative shareholder of the Company, claiming that a provision in the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”), requiring shareholders, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify the Company for attorneys’ fees in certain corporate proceedings in which the shareholder is not the prevailing party, must be removed. This provision of the Company’s Bylaws was adopted in 2012 when the Company adopted its Amended and Restated Bylaws. The statute prohibiting certain reimbursements of attorneys’ fees was adopted in 2015. The Letter demands that the Board amend its Bylaws to remove the particular provision in question.
After reviewing the Letter, the Board established a Demand Review Committee (the “Committee”) to review, analyze, and evaluate the shareholder demand received above, and to make recommendations to the Board with respect to such demand. The Committee was ad hoc, in that the composition of the Committee will necessarily change in response to the specific shareholder demand. Initial members of the Committee are comprised of Board members who were not members of the Board in 2012 when the Company adopted its Bylaws and are disinterested and independent with respect to the matters set forth in the Letter discussed above. The Committee was authorized to engage, at the Company’s expense, experts and advisors that the Committee deems appropriate to assist in its review and determination. Based on the Committee’s review and analysis of the demand and the current case law, in connection with the above Letter, the Committee recommended to the Board to reject such demand as being baseless. Based on the Committee’s recommendation to the Board, the Board determined that the demand is meritless and rejected such demand.

The Company’s reporting segments exclude our corporate headquarter which serves to support its two reporting segments through various functions, such as our executives, finance, treasury, human resources, accounting, and legal departments. Financial results for the corporate headquarter are not considered by the CODM in evaluating the performance of the reportable segments. Our reporting segment also excludes our discontinued operations (see “Note 10 – Discontinued Operations”) which do not generate revenues.
The Company’s CODM is represented by its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and COO (or “CODM group”). The CODM group evaluates the performance of the Treatment and Services segments and allocates resources (including financial or capital resources) to each reporting segment based on revenue and income (loss) from operations by comparing actual results for these metrics to budgeted and forecasted amounts for these metrics on a monthly, quarterly and year-to-date basis. The Company’s CODM group does not evaluate and allocate resources for the reportable segments using assets; therefore, the Company does not disclose assets for its reporting segments.
The table below summarizes income (loss) from operations for the Company’s two reporting segments and its corporate headquarter and provides reconciliation of such financial metric to the Company’s consolidated totals for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 for our continuing operations. Significant segment expenses that are included in the measure of segment profit or losses for each reportable segment and regularly provided to the CODM group include payroll and benefit, material and supplies, disposal, transportation and subcontract expenses and are reflected separately, where applicable (in thousands).

| 12. | Income Taxes |
The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes.
The
Company had income tax expenses of $ and $
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which changes existing U.S. tax laws, including extending or making permanent certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, repealing certain clean energy initiatives, in addition to other changes. The Company has evaluated the provisions of the OBBBA and determined that the enactment of the legislation had no material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended September 30, 2025. Additionally, the Company does not expect OBBBA to have a material impact to the Company’s full year 2025 effective tax rate and its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, due to the Company’s valuation allowance position, among other things. The Company continues to monitor the potential future impacts of the OBBBA on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
13. Subsequent Events
Management evaluated events occurring subsequent to September 30, 2025, through November 10, 2025, the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available for issuance and determined that no material subsequent events occurred that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Overview
Our revenue for the third quarter of 2025 reflects improvements from the corresponding period of 2024. Overall revenue increased by $642,000 or 3.8% to $17,454,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $16,812,000 in the same period of 2024. The increase was entirely from our Treatment Segment where revenue increased by $4,050,000 or approximately 44.7% to $13,114,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $9,064,000 in the same period of 2024. The increase in Treatment Segment revenue was primarily due to increased waste volume and higher averaged price waste from waste mix, which included increased revenue generated from both international and commercial clients. Services Segment revenue decreased $3,408,000 or 44.0% to $4,340,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $7,748,000 for the same period of 2024. The decrease in revenue in the Services Segment was attributed in part, to delays in project mobilizations from certain existing contracts along with delays in project awards primarily from government related entities. Gross profit increased $1,223,000 or 91.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024. Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $451,000 or 12.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024.
Our overall revenue increased by $1,544,000 or 3.5% to $45,959,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $44,415,000 for the corresponding period of 2024. Similar to the third quarter of 2025, the increase was entirely from our Treatment Segment where revenue increased by $7,580,000 or approximately 29.0% to $33,696,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $26,116,000 in the same period of 2024. The increase in Treatment Segment revenue was primarily due to increased waste volume and higher averaged price waste from waste mix, which included increased revenue generated from both international and commercial clients. Services Segment revenue decreased $6,036,000 or 33.0% to $12,263,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $18,299,000 for the same period of 2024 due in part, to delays in project mobilizations from certain existing contracts and delays in procurements that resulted from changes to the new Administration and supporting policies that occurred in the first half of 2025. We generated an overall gross profit of $4,761,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to a gross loss of $592,000 for the corresponding period of 2024, reflecting an increase in gross profit of $5,353,000 or 904.2%. SG&A expenses increased by $1,597,000 or 15.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024.
See “Results of Operations” below for discussions of certain financial metrics pertaining to our operations, which includes our two reportable segments.
| 26 |
We have seen steady improvements in our revenue and results of operations in each of the quarters in 2025. We believe we are positioned for improvements in the fourth quarter of 2025 and in 2026 (see a discussion of the recent federal government shutdown that may impact our results of operations below). Our Treatment Segment backlog stands at approximately $15,396,000 as of September 30, 2025, an increase of $7,537,000 or 95.9% from the December 31, 2024, balance of $7,859,000. In December 2024, BWXT Technologies and its team, of which we are a member, were awarded the West Valley Project contract for the cleanup operations at the West Valley Development Project in West Valley, New York. The contract has a 10-year ordering period with a maximum value of up to $3 billion for all of the services rendered by all members of the team that are performed for up to 15 years. Revenue contributed from this contract has been and is expected to be limited in 2025; however, we expect revenue to ramp up in 2026 as our scope under the contract is further defined, approved and transitions into operation. Also, we believe that our Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”) facility is positioned to support the DFLAW program at Hanford, Washington as hot commissioning of the Low-Activity Waste Vitrification Facility at Hanford has begun and is working toward full waste treatment operations. We continue to focus on increasing our expansion into the international markets which is reflected in revenue generated from foreign entities of approximately $4,893,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $1,377,000 for the corresponding period of 2024, an increase of $3,516,000 or 255.3%. Finally, we continue our aggressive approach in research and development (“R&D”), sales and marketing efforts and capital expenditures of our new PFAS technology which adversely impacted our results of operations for the first nine months of 2025 (See “Known Trends and Uncertainties – New Processing Technology” for a discussion of our new technology). We are continually monitoring our operating costs to ensure alignment with our revenue level.
Effective October 1, 2025, the federal government went into a partial shutdown from failure to pass a new fiscal year funding bill. As a result of the government shutdown, we have been recently informed by certain government related clients that waste shipments are likely to be delayed until the government shutdown is resolved. Although the impact of the government shutdown has been limited at this time, a prolonged shutdown may materially impact our results of operations and liquidity (See “Known Trends and Uncertainties – Federal Funding” within this MD&A for a discussion of the impacts that a prolonged federal government shutdown may have on our results of operations). We believe that potential negative impact to our results of operations and liquidity from a prolonged government shutdown may be lessened by our Treatment Segment backlog, along with increased receipts from international and commercial clients.
Business Environment
Our Treatment and Services Segments’ business continue to be heavily dependent on services that we provide to federal governmental clients, primarily as subcontractors for others who are contractors to government entities or directly as the prime contractor. We believe demand for our services will continue to be subject to fluctuations due to a variety of factors beyond our control, including, without limitation, current economic and political conditions, government reductions, government budget issues, government shutdown and the manner in which the applicable government authority will be required to spend funding to remediate various sites. In addition, our governmental contracts and subcontracts relating to activities at federal governmental sites are generally subject to termination for convenience at any time, at the government’s option. Significant reductions in the level of governmental funding, government shutdown or specifically mandated levels for different programs that are important to our business could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
Results of Operations
The reporting of financial results and pertinent discussions are tailored to our two reportable segments: The Treatment Segment and Services Segment.

The increases were attributed primarily to overall improved margin on projects and lower fixed costs which were offset by the impact of lower revenue. Our Services Segment gross margin is impacted by our current projects which are competitively bid on and will therefore, have varying margin structures.
SG&A
SG&A expenses increased $451,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period for 2024, as follows:
| (In thousands) | 2025 | % Revenue | 2024 | % Revenue | Change | |||||||||||||||
| Administrative | $ | 2,004 | — | $ | 1,733 | — | $ | 271 | ||||||||||||

| Total | $ | 4,083 | 23.4 | $ | 3,632 | 21.6 | $ | 451 | ||||||||||||
Administrative SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to higher salaries, payroll related expenses and stock option compensation expenses totaling approximately $149,000. The hiring of the Company’s Chief Operation Officer (“COO”) in January 2025 and COLA effected during the third quarter of 2025 contributed to this increase. The remaining higher expenses in Administrative SG&A expenses were primarily due to higher outside services expenses of approximately $93,000 from more legal and business-related matters, higher general expenses by approximately $10,000 in various categories and higher travel expenses of approximately $19,000 due to more travel by senior management. Treatment Segment SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $204,000 as more employee hours were allocated to marketing initiatives of our new PFAS technology and overall business development; general expense were higher by approximately $37,000 in various categories; travel expenses were higher by $16,000; and outside services expenses were lower by approximately $8,000 from fewer consulting matters. Services Segment SG&A expenses were lower primarily due to lower salaries and payroll related expenses of approximately $96,000 as fewer employee hours were allocated in supporting administrative/marketing functions due to lower revenue. The lower expenses were offset by overall higher outside services, general and travel expense totaling approximately $27,000. Included in SG&A expenses is depreciation and amortization expenses of $14,000 and $25,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
SG&A expenses increased $1,597,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period for 2024, as follows:

Administrative SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to higher salaries, payroll related expenses and stock option compensation expenses totaling approximately $352,000. The hiring of the Company’s COO in January 2025 and COLA effected during the third quarter of 2025 contributed to this increase. The remaining higher expenses in Administrative SG&A expenses were primarily due to higher outside services expenses of approximately $321,000 from more legal and business-related matters, higher general expenses of approximately $31,000 in various categories and higher travel expenses of approximately $46,000 due to more travel by senior management. Treatment Segment SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to the following: salaries and payroll related expenses were higher by approximately $618,000 as more employee hours were allocated to marketing initiatives of our new PFAS technology and overall business development; general expense were higher by approximately $159,000 in various categories (which include higher tradeshow expenses of approximately $77,000); travel expenses were higher by $27,000; bad debt expenses were higher by approximately $29,000; and outside services expenses were lower by approximately $18,000 from few consulting matters. Services Segment SG&A expenses were higher primarily due to the following: general expenses were higher by approximately $48,000 in various categories; outside services expenses were higher by approximately $45,000 due to more consulting matters; travel expense were slightly higher by approximately $6,000; and salaries and payroll related expenses were lower by approximately $67,000 as fewer employee hours were allocated in supporting administrative/marketing functions due to lower revenue. Included in SG&A expenses is depreciation and amortization expenses of $43,000 and $77,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased by approximately $26,000 and increased by approximately $222,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024. The decrease in interest income for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the corresponding quarter of 2024 was primarily due to lower interest income earned from our finite risk sinking fund from lower interest rate. The increase in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period of 2024 was primarily due to higher interest income earned from funds deposited into our money market deposit account (“MMDA”) from the two equity raises that were completed in May 2024 and December 2024, offset by lower interest income earned from our finite risk sinking fund from lower interest rate.
Income Taxes
We use an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which we operate, to determine our quarterly provision for income taxes.
We had income tax expenses of $0 and $6,417,000 for continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and the corresponding period of 2024, respectively, and income tax expenses of $0 and $4,300,000 for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the corresponding period of 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rates were approximately 0% and 268.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and the corresponding period of 2024, respectively, and 0% and 36.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the corresponding period of 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the each of the periods above was impacted by our recognition of a full valuation allowance against its U.S federal and state deferred tax assets in the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the OBBBA, which changes existing U.S. tax laws, including extending or making permanent certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, repealing certain clean energy initiatives, in addition to other changes. We evaluated the provisions of the OBBBA and determined that the enactment of the legislation had no material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended September 30, 2025. Additionally, we do not expect OBBBA to have a material impact to our full year 2025 effective tax rate and our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, due to our valuation allowance position, among other things. We continue to monitor the potential future impacts of the OBBBA on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash flow requirements during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were financed by our Liquidity (defined under our Loan Agreement as borrowing availability under the revolving credit plus cash in our MMDA maintained with our lender). Our MMDA consist of cash received in connection with the sale of our Common Stock completed in 2024 as discussed below under “Financing Activities.” We believe our cash flow requirements for the next twelve months will consist primarily of general working capital needs, scheduled principal payments on our debt obligations, remediation projects, R&D on our PFAS technology and capital expenditures (which include our PFAS technology) (see “Known Trends and Uncertainties – New Processing Technology” within this MD&A for a discussion of this technology). We plan to fund these requirements from our operations and our Liquidity. We are continually reviewing operating costs and reviewing the possibility of further reducing operating costs and non-essential expenditures to bring them in line with revenue levels. As of September 30, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowing under our Revolving Credit and our Liquidity was approximately $23,844,000. We believe that our cash flows from operations and our Liquidity should be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Assuming the federal government shutdown is quickly resolved, we believe our operations should improve in the fourth quarter of 2025 and in 2026. If we continue to incur losses such as in the first nine months of 2025, this could cause a reduction in our Liquidity and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our business.
The following table reflects the cash flow activities during the first nine months of 2025 and 2024.

As of September 30, 2025, we were in a positive cash position with no revolving credit balance. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash on hand of approximately $16,412,000.
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities of our continuing operations during the first nine months of 2025 consisted mostly of the net loss that we incurred of approximately $7,844,000, adjusted for certain non-cash items, such as $597,000 of stock-based compensation expenses and $1,299,000 of depreciation and amortization expenses. Cash flow decrease of approximately $2,838,000 resulting from net change in assets and liabilities reflects increases in unbilled and accounts receivable (net of provision for credit losses) totaling approximately $3,771,000, a net decrease in accounts payables, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and other accruals totaling approximately $745,000, offset by a net decrease in inventories, prepaids and other assets totaling approximately of $1,678,000. Our accounts receivables are impacted by timing of invoicing and collections. Our contracts with our customers are subject to various payment terms and conditions.
Cash used in operating activities of our continuing operations during the first nine months of 2024 consisted primarily of the significant net loss that we incurred of approximately $16,049,000, adjusted for certain non-cash items, which included $466,000 of stock-based compensation expenses, $1,295,000 of depreciation and amortization expenses and $4,300,000 of deferred income tax expenses. Cash flow decrease of approximately $1,383,000 resulting from net change in assets and liabilities included a net decrease in accounts payables, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and other accruals totaling approximately $5,805,000, offset by decreases in accounts receivable (net of recovery in credit losses) and unbilled receivables totaling approximately $2,145,000, and a net decrease in inventories and prepaid and other assets totaling approximately of $2,277,000.
| 33 |
Cash used in operating activities of our discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024 consisted primarily of expenses incurred in connection with management and administration of regulatory matters for the Company’s remediation projects.
We had working capital of $18,393,000 (which included working capital of our discontinued operations) as of September 30, 2025, as compared to working capital of $28,283,000 as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in our working capital was primarily due to the losses incurred from our operations during the nine months of 2025 as previously discussed.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities of our continuing operations in the first nine months of 2025 consisted mostly of our purchases of property and equipment totaling approximately $2,770,000, of which $162,000 was financed. Our capital expenditures for 2025 included expenditures made for our PFAS treatment systems, which include our second-generation unit. The remaining cash used in investing activities consisted of cash outlays of approximately $103,000 made in connection with our operating permits and certain intangible assets. Total cash used in investing activities of our continuing operations was partially offset by approximately $28,000 from our sale of idle equipment.
Cash used in investing activities of our discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2025 consisted of payments made in connection with a certain regulatory permit at our Perma-Fix South Georgia, Inc. (“PFSG”) subsidiary and improvements made to the existing building.
Cash used in investing activities of our continuing operations in the first nine months of 2024 consisted mostly of our purchases of property and equipment totaling approximately $2,630,000, of which $406,000 was financed. Our capital expenditures for 2024 included expenditures made for the construction of our first PFAS treatment system. The remaining cash used in investing activities of $577,000 consisted of cash outlays made in connection with our operating permits and certain intangible assets.
Cash used in investing activities of our discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2024 consisted of payments made for roof replacement at our PFSG location.
Capital Expenditures
We anticipate making capital expenditures of up to approximately $3,230,000 for the remainder of 2025 to maintain operations and regulatory compliance requirements and support revenue growth. Our remaining anticipated capital expenditures for 2025 include certain strategic project initiatives which include our second-generation unit for our PFAS technology (see “Known Trends and Uncertainties – New Processing Technology”). We plan to fund our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2025 from cash from operations, Liquidity and/or financing. The initiation and timing of our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2025 are subject to a number of factors which include, among other things, cost/benefit analysis, the pace of our strategic project initiatives, improvement in our operations and resolution of the federal government shutdown.
Financing Activities
Our cash used in financing during the first nine months of 2025 consisted mostly of principal payments of approximately $470,000 primarily for our Term and Capital Loans under our Credit Facility (see below for a discussion of our Credit Facility) principal payments of $228,000 for our finance leases, payments of $194,000 of offering costs from the equity raise that we completed in December 2024, partially offset by proceeds received from option exercises of approximately $79,000.
As previously reported, during 2024, we had two offerings of our Common Stock which increased our cash position. As discussed below, in May 2024, we had the first offering. In December 2024, we completed the second securities offering in which we received net proceeds of approximately $23,208,000 after deducting offering fees and expenses.
| 34 |
Our cash provided in financing during the first nine months of 2024 consisted primarily of net proceeds of $18,495,000 received from the sale of our Common Stock in May 2024 and proceeds received from option and warrant exercises totaling approximately $264,000, partially offset by principal payments of approximately $675,000 for our Term and Capital Loans under our Credit Facility and principal payments of $218,000 for our finance leases.
Credit Facility
We entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 8, 2020, which has since been amended, with PNC National Association (“PNC” and “lender”), acting as agent and lender (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides us with a credit facility with a maturity date of May 15, 2027 (the “Credit Facility”) which consists of the following as of September 30, 2025: (a) up to $12,500,000 revolving credit (“Revolving Credit”), which borrowing capacity is subject to eligible receivables (as defined) and reduced by outstanding standby letters of credit ($3,350,000 as of September 30, 2025) and borrowing reductions that our lender may impose from time to time ($750,000 as of September 30, 2025); (b) a term loan (“Term Loan”) of $2,500,000, requiring monthly installments of $41,667, with a balance due under the Term Loan of approximately $1,458,000 as of September 30, 2025; and (c) a capital expenditure loan (“Capital Loan”) of approximately $524,000, requiring monthly installments of principal of approximately $8,700 plus interest.
On March 11, 2025, we entered into an amendment to our Loan Agreement with our lender which provided the following, among other things:
| ● | removed the quarterly fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) covenant testing requirement utilizing a twelve-month trailing basis; however, such FCCR testing requirement will be triggered on the day we fail to meet a minimum of $5,000,000 in daily Liquidity. If triggered, we will be required to show a compliance of a FCCR ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00 utilizing a trailing twelve-month-period ended starting with the most recently reported fiscal quarter and each fiscal quarter thereafter. The FCCR testing requirement can be removed again once we are able to achieve a minimum of $5,000,000 in daily Liquidity for a thirty-consecutive-day period from the trigger date; | |
| ● | revised the Facility Fee (as defined) from .375% to .500%. Such fee percentage will revert back to .375% at such time that we are able to achieve a minimum 1.15 to 1.00 ratio in FCCR on a twelve-month trailing basis; and | |
| ● | required payment of an amendment fee of $12,500 by the Company, which is being amortized over the remaining term of the Loan Agreement as interest expense-financing fees. |
Our Loan Agreement, as amended, with PNC, contains certain financial covenant requirements, along with customary representations and warranties. A breach of any of these financial covenant requirements, unless waived by PNC, could result in a default under our Loan Agreement allowing our lender to immediately require the repayment of all outstanding debt under our Loan Agreement and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. We met all of our financial covenant requirements in the first, second and third quarters of 2025. We expect to meet our covenant requirements under our Loan Agreement for the next twelve months.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
From time to time, we are required to post standby letters of credit and various bonds to support contractual obligations to customers and other obligations, including facility closures. As of September 30, 2025, the total amount of standby letters of credit outstanding totaled approximately $3,350,000, and the total amount of bonds outstanding totaled approximately $16,044,000. We also provide closure and post-closure requirements through a financial assurance policy for certain of our Treatment Segment facilities through AIG. As of September 30, 2025, the closure and post-closure requirements for these facilities were approximately $23,951,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There were no significant changes in our accounting policies or critical accounting estimates that are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for the recent accounting pronouncement that was adopted in the first nine months of 2025 and recent accounting pronouncements that will be adopted in future periods.
Collective Bargaining Agreement
On September 25, 2025, our PFNWR, entered into a Collective Bargaining Agreement (the “CBA”) that became effective October 1, 2025, with the United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters Local Union 598 (the “Union”). The CBA covers seventy-one (71) production employees (“Covered Employees”) at our PFNWR facility, and its purpose is to attempt to maintain a skilled and stabilized labor force for its waste treatment operations.
The CBA generally governs, among other things, the Covered Employees’ compensation, vacation/holiday/sick pay, and working conditions. The CBA provides for annual base hourly wage increases for Covered Employees equal to one percent (1%) plus the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), Western Region Average. We continue to offer our healthcare benefits and 401k plan to the Covered Employees under the CBA.
The term of the CBA is October 1, 2025 through October 1, 2030, and the CBA renews automatically on an annual basis thereafter, unless either PFNW or the Union gives written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to October 1, 2030 of its intent to modify or terminate the CBA.
Known Trends and Uncertainties
Significant Customers. The contracts that we are a party to with others as subcontractors to the federal government or directly with the federal government generally provide that the government may terminate the contract at any time for convenience at the government’s option. Our inability to continue under existing contracts that we have with the federal government authorities (directly or indirectly as a subcontractor) or significant reductions in the level of governmental funding in any given year could have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial condition. We performed services relating to waste generated by federal government clients, either directly as a prime contractor or indirectly for others as a subcontractor to federal government entities, representing approximately $11,666,000 or 66.8% and $29,275,000 or 63.7% of our total revenues generated during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to $11,749,000 or 69.9% and $31,748,000 or 71.5% of our total revenues generated during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Federal Funding. As previously disclosed, a significant portion of our revenue is generated through contracts entered into indirectly as subcontractors for prime contractors or directly as a prime contractor to federal government. Government funding levels in general have uncertainties associated with planned federal projects and procurements. On October 1, 2025, the U.S. federal government entered into a partial shutdown as Congress failed to pass a new fiscal year funding bill. As a result of the government shutdown, we have been recently informed by certain government related clients that waste shipments are likely to be delayed until the government shutdown is resolved. Although the impact of the government shutdown has been limited at this time, a prolonged shutdown may create uncertainty and disruption for us from additional delayed and/or cancelled waste shipments, suspension and/or slowdown of active projects, and/or delayed/cancelled procurement requests. Additionally, the recent government shutdown has resulted in furloughed and terminated employees which may result in contract award delays, delayed payments for services already rendered and restricted communication with agency counterparts who may not be working. These aforementioned impacts could negatively impact our result of operations and liquidity, the extent of which is unknown at this time. However, we believe that negative impact to our results of operations and liquidity from a prolonged government shutdown may be lessened by our Treatment Segment backlog, along with increased receipts from international and commercial clients.
| 36 |
Market Trends and Uncertainties. Macroeconomic conditions which include recent government and policy changes implemented in the United States, government budget issues, tariff actions and uncertainties related to trade wars, ambiguity around interest rates, softening labor markets, have created significant uncertainty in the global economy, volatility in the capital markets and recessionary pressures. We continue to monitor potential effects from these conditions that could impact our revenue and profitability which include supply chain challenges, cost volatility in goods that we utilize in our revenue production, and economic pressures on our customers that may result in reduced and/or delayed spending. We continue to monitor, evaluate and implement a range of strategic options which we believe will assist us to manage potential impacts from these factors, including supply chain optimization, pricing strategies, sourcing adjustments and cost reduction measures in order to minimize impacts to our financial results.
New Processing Technology. We have completed the fabrication, installation, commissioning and startup of our first full scale commercial Perma-FAS system (“System”) for PFAS destruction, located at our Perma-Fix Florida, Inc. facility. PFAS, commonly known as “forever chemicals,” is the acronym for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, a diverse group of thousands of human-made chemical pollutants that have the potential to persist in both the environment and the human body. An increasing number of studies have documented adverse health risks that are associated with PFAS exposure, including increased risks of some cancers, reduced immune function, and developmental delays in children. Commercial destruction of PFAS offers a promising new source of revenue for us, as it complements our core waste remediation technologies, and we have filed patent applications relating to our System technology for PFAS destruction. We have already processed commercial quantities of PFAS-containing waste materials with our pilot System. We believe there are limited current treatment options for these materials, and we expect that our process will exceed the performance of other methods. Some of the sizable markets for PFAS include AFFF firefighting foams, both expired concentrate and flushing liquids, contaminated liquids from PFAS systems, and other water-based separation products from a variety of industrial systems. We have already secured and treated approximately 15,000 gallons of AFFF liquids through the prototype reactor and have approximately 20,000 gallons in backlog. We believe that we will receive an additional 50,000 gallons in the coming months.
Our strategy for our System includes continued treatment of PFAS liquids over the coming months and targeting engineering refinements to support larger-scale Systems. With significant upgrades to our prototype currently being completed, we anticipate deployment of the second-generation unit in the first quarter of 2026 at one of our other existing treatment facilities. We believe our second-generation system will allow us to triple our production capacity. In the next several calendar quarters, we expect to advance the Perma-FAS technology from demonstrated successful bench-scale testing to pilot-scale applications for soil, biosolids, and filter media, broadening the reach of our System’s PFAS destruction capabilities.
Environmental Contingencies
We are engaged in the waste management services segment of the pollution control industry. As a participant in the on-site treatment, storage and disposal market and the off-site treatment and services market, we are subject to rigorous federal, state and local regulations. These regulations mandate strict compliance and therefore are a cost and concern to us. Because of their integral role in providing quality environmental services, we make every reasonable attempt to maintain complete compliance with these regulations; however, even with a diligent commitment, we, along with many of our competitors, may be required to pay fines for violations or investigate and potentially remediate our waste management facilities.
We routinely use third party disposal companies, who ultimately destroy, or secure landfill residual materials generated at our facilities or at a client’s site. In the past, numerous third-party disposal sites have improperly managed waste and consequently require remedial action; consequently, any party utilizing these sites may be liable for some or all of the remedial costs. Despite our aggressive compliance and auditing procedures for disposal of wastes, we could further be notified, in the future, that we are a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at a remedial action site, which could have a material adverse effect.
| 37 |
We have three environmental remediation projects, all within our discontinued operations, which principally entail the removal/remediation of contaminated soil, and, in most cases, the remediation of surrounding ground water. We expect to fund the expenses to remediate these sites from funds generated from operations. As of September 30, 2025, we had total accrued environmental remediation liabilities of $764,000, a decrease of $3,000 from the December 31, 2024 balance of $767,000. The decrease represents payments for our PFSG remediation project. As of September 30, 2025, $630,000 of the total accrued environmental remediation liabilities was recorded as current.
| Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks |
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
| Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
| (a) | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. |
| We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. Based on this recent assessment, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of September 30, 2025. | |
| (b) | Changes in internal control over financial reporting. |
| There was no other change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. |
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
| Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
There are no material legal proceedings pending against us and/or our subsidiaries not previously reported by us in Item 3 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, there has been no other material change in legal proceedings previously disclosed by us in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
| Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
There is no other material change from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, except as follows.
The following additional Risk Factor under “Risks Relating to our Business Operations” is as follows:
A prolonged federal government shutdown may materially impact our results of operations.
On October 1, 2025, the U.S. federal government entered into a partial shutdown as Congress failed to pass a new fiscal year funding bill. As a result of the government shutdown, we have been recently informed by certain government related clients that waste shipments are likely to be delayed until the government shutdown is resolved. Although the impact of the government shutdown has been limited at this time, a prolonged shutdown may create uncertainty and disruption for us from additional delayed and/or cancelled waste shipments, suspension and/or slowdown of active projects, and/or delayed/cancelled procurement requests. Additionally, the recent government shutdown has resulted in furloughed and terminated employees which may result in contract award delays, delayed payments for services already rendered and restricted communication with agency counterparts who may not be working. These aforementioned impacts could negatively impact our result of operations and liquidity, the extent of which is unknown at this time. However, we believe that negative impact to our results of operations and liquidity from a prolonged government shutdown may be lessened by our Treatment Segment backlog, along with increased receipts from international and commercial clients.
