RONAN, Mont., May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AirJoule Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:AIRJ) ("AirJoule Technologies" or the "Company"), the developer of the transformational AirJoule^® system for separating pure water from air, today announced its first quarter 2025 results.

First Quarter 2025 & Recent Highlights

Key Milestones

GE Vernova Collaboration on Waste Heat: Commenced a strategic project with GE Vernova focused on the integration of AirJoule^®technology into GE Vernova products with an emphasis on the utilization of low-grade waste heat to produce water. The project will examine AirJoule^®'s capability to convert low-grade waste heat into pure distilled water with GE Vernova's technology and product offerings and establish performance across a range of environmental conditions.
Arizona State University Agreement: Signed an agreement with Arizona State University ("ASU"), a global leader in the field of atmospheric water harvesting research, to sell one AirJoule^® A250™ system to be used for research and evaluation purposes, with expected delivery in September 2025. ASU operates atmospheric water harvesting test sites in the Phoenix area and will independently evaluate AirJoule^®'s performance across a range of real-world conditions, including arid climates and variable humidity levels.
Dubai Deployment: Deployed the first AirJoule^®system in Dubai to showcase AirJoule^® principles and capabilities for potential public and private sector customers. The AirJoule^® system is operating in an outdoor garden located at one of Dubai government's premier technology research facilities.
Facility Expansion: Expanded the manufacturing facility in Newark, DE to 35,000 square feet, which now includes manufacturing and assembly space, along with three environmental test chambers and a full coating line to produce sorbent-coated contactors.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Private Placement Financing: Completed a $15 million private placement financing (the "PIPE") led by GE Vernova, which also included new and existing investors. GE Vernova's participation in the PIPE followed its initial investment in AirJoule Technologies of $5 million made in March 2024 in connection with the formation of a 50/50 joint venture with AirJoule Technologies. Net proceeds from the PIPE are being used to accelerate the commercialization of the AirJoule^® A1000™ systems to meet strong customer interest.
Strong Cash Position: Ended the quarter with $23 million of cash and cash equivalents with sufficient capitalization to support the Company's operations through expected commercial sales in 2026.

Executive Commentary

"AirJoule^® is gaining meaningful traction as industries look for innovative ways to secure sustainable water," said Matt Jore, Chief Executive Officer of AirJoule Technologies. "In the first quarter, we accelerated key initiatives with stakeholders like GE Vernova and Arizona State University, broadened our international presence, and expanded our manufacturing capabilities to support scaled production. With a strong balance sheet and a fully funded path to commercialization, we are well-positioned to meet rising demand for reliable, energy-efficient water solutions, and we are laser-focused on delivering our first preproduction systems for customer demonstrations in 2025."

AirJoule Technologies' condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are available in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025, which is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 13, 2025.
