Management Commentary

KULR Chief Financial Officer Mike Kimel commented, "During the second quarter of 2026, we continued sharpening our focus on KULR’s core energy platform and simplifying the business around our highest-priority growth opportunities. The Bitcoin treasury strategy provided meaningful financial flexibility, but its volatility also had a significant impact on our reported results, including approximately $10.6 million of non-cash change in fair value losses, making the underlying performance of our battery business more difficult for shareholders to assess. Since quarter-end, we have exited Bitcoin mining, repaid the Coinbase loan in full, and begun reducing our Bitcoin holdings in a deliberate and disciplined manner. These actions are designed to reduce balance-sheet volatility, improve financial visibility, and allow us to concentrate our capital and execution on scaling the core business while maintaining a disciplined approach to shareholder dilution. Importantly, we did not issue any shares through the ATM during the first half of 2026."

The Company reported a cash balance of $12.8 million as of June 30, 2026.
