DALLAS, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ASP Isotopes Inc. (NASDAQ:ASPI) ("ASP Isotopes" or the "Company"), an advanced materials company focused on developing technologies and processes for critical materials production, today hosts its inaugural Capital Markets Day in London. Management will outline the Company's strategy across nuclear medicine, electronics, helium and LNG, and nuclear fuels, and will provide an overview of the building blocks supporting the Company’s long-term growth potential.

Over the past 12 months, the Company has moved from development into early commercialization across several of its businesses. At today's event, management intends to provide a summary of what has been achieved to date, target milestones for the next 12 months, and how the complementary businesses are building a pathway toward the Company's longer-term EBITDA goal. The presentation builds on the Company’s shareholder letter published on dated August 4, 2026 (here).

Paul Mann, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ASP Isotopes, said:

"2026 is the year we are transitioning from building to producing. We have made steady progress towards the targets we have set out publicly. Over the next 12 months, we expect to further advance in two meaningful ways. First, increasing our revenues—from the expected production of liquid helium as Phase 1 is completed and the continued growth of our radiopharmacies. Second, growing our customer base—as we expect to make our first commercial shipments from our stable isotope division. Each of these is a step toward the more than $300 million of EBITDA that we are targeting in 2031. In addition, we are continuing to pursue public listings of Quantum Leap Energy and Noble Africa as separate public companies.

Use of Projections

The financial outlook and projections, estimates and targets in this press release are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainty and contingencies, many of which are beyond ASP Isotopes’ control. Any such calculation, at this time, would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. Neither ASP Isotopes nor Renergen’s independent auditors have audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the financial projections for purposes of inclusion in this press release, and, accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purposes of this press release. While all financial projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, ASP Isotopes believes that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expected or target results for ASP Isotopes and its subsidiaries are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the financial projections, estimates and targets. The inclusion of financial projections, estimates and targets in this press release should not be regarded as an indication that ASP Isotopes, or its representatives, considered or consider the financial projections, estimates or targets to be a reliable prediction of future events. Further, inclusion of the prospective financial information in this press release should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We have not provided a reconciliation between our targets for EBITDA and net income(loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because applicable information for future periods, on which this reconciliation would be based, is not available without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for selling prices of our commercial products and costs of production and extraction, among other items. These items may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.
