Products Our core businesses are organized into two reportable segments: Thermal Barrier and Energy Industrial. The following describes our key product offerings and new product innovations by reportable segment. Thermal Barrier We have developed a number of promising aerogel products and technologies for the EV market, including our proprietary line of PyroThin aerogel thermal barriers for use in battery packs in EVs. Our PyroThin product is an ultra-thin, lightweight and flexible thermal barrier designed with other functional layers to impede the propagation of thermal runaway across multiple lithium-ion battery system architectures. Our thermal barrier technology is designed to offer a unique combination of thermal management, mechanical performance and fire protection properties. These properties enable EV manufacturers to achieve critical battery performance and safety goals by impeding the propagation of thermal runaway in lithium-ion battery systems at the battery cell, module and pack levels across multiple lithium-ion battery system architectures. Our ultra-thin, lightweight and flexible thermal barriers are designed to allow battery manufacturers to achieve critical safety goals without sacrificing energy density. We have entered into multi-year production contracts with a number of automotive EV OEM customers to supply fabricated, multi-part thermal barriers for use in the battery systems of their EV models. These customers include General Motors LLC (GM), Toyota, Scania, Automotive Cells Company, which is a battery cell joint venture between Stellantis N.V, Saft-TotalEnergies and Mercedes-Benz, Audi, a luxury brand of the Volkswagen Group, Volvo Truck, and a large EU battery manufacturer to supply a next generation vehicle platform of a major EU luxury sports car brand. We are currently supplying thermal barrier production parts to both General Motors and Toyota, and thermal barrier prototype parts to a number of global manufacturers of EVs, grid storage and home 21 battery systems. During fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, we sold $306.8 million, $110.1 million and $55.6 million, respectively, of our PyroThin thermal barriers; however, as discussed below under “Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, our thermal barrier revenues have declined in 2025 as compared to the prior year. Energy Industrial We design, develop and manufacture innovative, high-performance aerogel insulation used primarily in the energy industrial market. We believe our aerogel blankets deliver the best thermal performance of any widely used insulation product available on the market today and provide a combination of performance attributes unmatched by traditional insulation materials. Our insulation products help end-users to improve resource efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and reduce the carbon footprint of their operations. These products enable compact system design, reduce installation time and costs, promote freight and logistics cost savings, reduce system weight, minimize required storage space and enhance job site safety. Our insulation products reduce the incidence of corrosion under insulation, which is a significant maintenance cost and safety issue in energy industrial facilities. Our end-user customers select our products where thermal performance is critical and to save money, improve resource efficiency, enhance sustainability, preserve operating assets and protect workers. Our insulation is used by oil producers and the owners and operators of refineries, petrochemical plants, liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities, power generating assets and other energy industrial sites. Our Pyrogel® and Cryogel® product lines have undergone rigorous technical validation by industry leading end-users and achieved significant market adoption. We also derive revenue from a number of other end markets. Customers in these markets use our products for applications as diverse as military and commercial aircraft, trains, buses, appliances, apparel, footwear and outdoor gear. We believe we will have additional opportunities to address high-value applications in the global insulation market, as well as in adjacent market opportunities such as energy storage applications, electrification applications and other potential adjacent applications subject to their commercial potential, the differentiation of our products, and the ability to leverage our existing manufacturing platform. We market and sell our products primarily through a sales force based in North America, Europe and Asia. The efforts of our sales force are supported by a small number of sales consultants with extensive knowledge of a particular market or region. Our sales force is responsible for establishing and maintaining customer and partner relationships, delivering highly technical information and ensuring high-quality customer service. Our salespeople work directly with end-user customers and engineering firms to promote the qualification, specification and acceptance of our aerogel and thermal barrier products. We also rely on an existing and well-established channel of qualified insulation distributors and contractors in more than 50 countries around the world to ensure rapid delivery of our aerogel products and strong end-user support. Manufacturing Operations We manufacture our products using our proprietary technology at our facility in East Providence, Rhode Island, which we have operated since 2008. During 2024, we converted our East Providence facility to support the growth of the thermal barrier program. We manage the capacity of our East Providence facility on an ongoing basis in order to meet expected demand for our aerogel products. We also utilize a flexible supply strategy, including but not limited to use of our external manufacturing capabilities in China, which currently support our Energy Industrial segment. Pursuant to our supply contract with this contract manufacturer, they are obligated to deliver products to us as we issue purchase orders on an as-needed basis through the term of the contract. The contract automatically renews year-to-year unless either party notifies the other of its intention not to renew the contract. While we have agreed to purchase our requirement for certain Energy Industrial products from the contract manufacturer, we have no obligation to purchase any minimum quantity under the contract and we may terminate the contract at any time and for any or no reason. Additionally, we entered into a contract with Prodensa to establish OPE Manufacturer Mexico S de RL de CV, a maquiladora located in Mexico (OPE), which assembles thermal barrier PyroThin products and operates an automated fabrication facility for PyroThin. Pursuant to such contract, we paid Prodensa a management fee and have an option to purchase OPE from Prodensa after a period of 18 months. On July 31, 2025, the purchase of OPE was completed for a nominal value in accordance with the terms of the agreement. We expect to meet demand for our aerogel products by utilizing both our East Providence facility and our flexible supply strategy, including, but not limited to, using our external manufacturing capabilities. Financial Summary Our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $229.8 million, which represented a decrease of $99.8 million, or 30%, from $329.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 22 was $316.6 million and net loss per share was $3.85. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $2.0 million and net income per share was $0.03. Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key metric, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. Adjusted EBITDA We use Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a means to assess our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and other items, from time to time, which we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition and presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We use Adjusted EBITDA: • as a measure of operating performance because it does not include the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance; • for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; • to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; and • as a performance measure used under our bonus plan. We also believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors with respect to our results of operations and in assessing the performance and value of our business. Various measures of EBITDA are widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon financing and accounting methods, book values of assets, capital structures and the methods by which assets were acquired. Although measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, we understand that Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or an analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments; • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect stock-based compensation expense; • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our income tax expense or cash requirements to pay our income taxes; • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; • although depreciation, amortization and impairment charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated, amortized or impaired will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; and • other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, our Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash available for us to meet our obligations. 23 To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage you to review the U.S. GAAP financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 (In thousands) Net income (loss) $ (6,334 ) $ (12,970 ) $ (316,639 ) $ 2,013 Depreciation and amortization 5,393 5,321 16,981 17,093 Stock-based compensation (1) 2,642 2,630 7,927 10,307 Other expense 2,392 2,616 6,304 8,433 Income tax expense 594 267 2,491 1,889 Loss on extinguishment of debt — 27,487 — 27,487 Restructuring and demobilization costs 1,568 — 16,296 — Impairment of property, plant and equipment - — 287,567 — Adjusted EBITDA $ 6,255 $ 25,351 $ 20,927 $ 67,222 (1) Represents non-cash stock-based compensation related to vesting and modifications of stock option grants, RSUs and restricted common stock, and cash settled RSUs issued in March 2025. Our financial performance, including such measures as net income (loss), earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA, are affected by a number of factors including volume and mix of aerogel products sold, average selling prices, our material costs and manufacturing expenses, and the amount and timing of capital and operating expenses. Accordingly, we expect that our net income (loss), earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA will vary from period to period. Our expectation for thermal barrier revenue is based, in part, on our OEM customers’ production volume forecasts and targets. Our OEM customers operate in a cyclical industry that is sensitive to shifting consumer trends, political and regulatory uncertainty and economic conditions in the markets they operate. EV adoption rates in our customers’ markets have been lower than originally expected and these lower adoption rates are expected to continue. As a result, EV investment continues to be re-timed as demand expectations in North America and Europe are reset. Furthermore, changes in government and economic policies, incentives, and tariffs have impacted our customers and our production, sales, cost structure and the competitive landscape, and we expect that such factors will continue to impact us and our customers. Additionally, our OEM customers continue to innovate which could result in engineering changes to the parts we supply primarily to reduce costs for our OEMs. Cost-cutting initiatives adopted by our customers may result in increased downward pressure on pricing. Our customer supply agreements generally require step-downs in component pricing over the periods of production and OEMs have historically possessed significant leverage over their outside suppliers. Thermal barrier revenues have declined in 2025 as compared to the prior year. Additionally, we are projecting a decline in energy industrial revenue in 2025 as compared to the prior year due to volume decline in our core markets and project-based demand. In response to these developments, we plan to continue our ongoing cost reduction measures, including reduced headcount, and our efforts to improve production innovation and efficiency. As a result of the foregoing, we expect a decline in net income and Adjusted EBITDA during 2025 as compared to the prior year. We also expect reduced capital expenditures during 2025 as compared to the prior year. Components of Our Results of Operations Revenue We recognize revenue from the sale of our energy industrial aerogel products and thermal barriers. Revenue is recognized upon the satisfaction of contractual performance obligations. We record deferred revenue for sales when (i) we have delivered products, but other revenue recognition criteria have not been satisfied, or (ii) payments have been received in advance of the completion of required performance obligations. For the reasons discussed above, we expect that both our thermal barrier revenues and energy industrial revenues will decline in 2025 as compared to the prior year. 24 Cost of Revenue Cost of product revenue consists primarily of materials and manufacturing expense. Cost of product revenue is recorded when the related product revenue is recognized. Material is a significant component of cost of product revenue and includes fibrous batting, silica materials and additives. Material costs as a percentage of product revenue vary from product to product due to differences in average selling prices, material requirements, product thicknesses, and manufacturing yields. In addition, we provide warranties for our products and record the estimated cost within cost of revenue in the period that the related revenue is recorded or when we become aware that a potential warranty claim is probable and can be reasonably estimated. As a result of these factors, material costs as a percentage of product revenue will vary from period to period due to changes in the volume and mix of aerogel products sold, the costs of our raw materials or the estimated cost of warranties. In addition, global supply chain disturbances, increased reliance on foreign materials procurement, industrial gas supply constraints, increases in the cost of our raw materials, engineering changes, higher prototype sales and other factors may significantly impact our material costs and have a material impact on our operations. Manufacturing expense is also a significant component of cost of revenue. Manufacturing expense includes labor, utilities, maintenance expense, and depreciation on manufacturing assets. Manufacturing expense also includes stock-based compensation of manufacturing employees and shipping costs. We are also continuing to monitor the impact on our material costs, manufacturing expense, and cost of product revenue from engaging one or more external manufacturing facilities in China to supply our aerogel products, which began in 2024. Gross Profit Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue is affected by a number of factors, including the volume of products produced and sold, the mix of products sold, average selling prices, our material and manufacturing costs and realized capacity utilization. Accordingly, we expect our gross profit to vary significantly in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue from period to period. However, given the expected decrease in revenue in 2025 as compared to the prior year, we expect that our gross profit as a percentage of revenue will also decline over the same period. Operating Expenses Operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses include personnel costs, legal fees, professional fees, service fees, insurance premiums, travel expense, facilities related costs and other costs, expenses and fees. The largest component of our operating expenses is personnel costs, consisting of salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation. In any particular period, the timing and extent of personnel additions or reductions, legal activities, including patent enforcement actions, marketing programs, research efforts and a range of similar activities or actions could materially affect our operating expenses, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses consist primarily of expenses for personnel engaged in the development of next generation aerogel compositions, form factors and manufacturing technologies. These expenses also include testing services, prototype expenses, consulting services, trial formulations for new products, equipment depreciation, facilities costs and related overhead. We expense research and development costs as incurred. While we expect to continue to devote resources to the development of new aerogel technologies and while we believe that such investments are necessary to maintain and improve our competitive position, we plan to reduce the overall amount of such expenditures in 2025 as compared to the prior year. Sales and Marketing Expenses Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, incentive compensation, marketing programs, costs of new product and process introductions, travel and related costs, consulting expenses and facilities related costs. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will decrease in absolute dollars but increase as a percentage of revenue in 2025 as compared to the prior year, given the expected decrease in revenue. 25 General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, legal expenses, consulting and professional services, audit fees, compliance with securities, corporate governance and related laws and regulations, investor relations and insurance premiums, including director and officer insurance. We expect that general and administrative expenses will decrease in absolute dollars but increase as a percentage of revenue in 2025 as compared to the prior year, given the expected decrease in revenue. We expect that the patent enforcement actions, described in more detail under “Legal Proceedings” in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report and “Legal Proceedings” in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, if protracted, could result in significant legal expense over the medium to long-term. Restructuring and demobilization costs Restructuring and demobilization costs consists of severance and other personnel costs, facility closures and other costs associated with the demobilization of our previously planned Statesboro Plant. Impairment of property, plant and equipment In 2025, impairment of property, plant and equipment consists of impairment incurred on our previously planned Statesboro Plant and impairment of other property, plant and equipment in connection with a restructuring action. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the impairment of equipment under development was the result of a charge for impairment of assets due to obsolescence following development of new and more efficient equipment. Interest Expense, Convertible Note - Related Party Interest expense, convertible note - related party is net of the capitalized interest related to the 2022 Convertible Note which we sold and issued to Wood River. The Company repurchased the 2022 Convertible Note on August 19, 2024. Interest Income (Expense) Interest expense consists of interest expense and amortization or write-off of deferred financing costs related to our other financing arrangements including our Amended MidCap Loan Facility, a failed sale and leaseback arrangement accounted as a financing transaction, and interest earned on the cash balances invested in deposit accounts, money market accounts, and high-quality debt securities issued by the U.S. government. Provision for Income Taxes We have incurred net losses since inception with the exception of the year ended December 31, 2024, and have not recorded benefit provisions for U.S. federal income taxes since the tax benefits of our net losses have been offset by valuation allowances due to the uncertainty associated with the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. We record tax expenses in connection with provisions for state income taxes and our Mexican maquiladora operations. 26 Results of Operations Three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 The following tables set forth a comparison of the components of our results of operations for the periods presented: Revenue Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Percentage Amount of Revenue Amount of Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) Revenue: Energy industrial $ 24,305 33% $ 26,776 23% $ (2,471 ) (9)% Thermal barrier 48,712 67% 90,564 77% (41,852 ) (46)% Total revenue $ 73,017 100% $ 117,340 100% $ (44,323 ) (38)% Total revenue decreased $44.3 million, or 38%, to $73.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $117.3 million in the comparable period in 2024. The decrease in total revenue was the result of decreases in thermal barrier revenue and energy industrial revenue. Energy industrial revenue decreased by $2.4 million, or 9%, to $24.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $26.7 million in the comparable period in 2024. This decrease was driven by a decrease in revenue from the global petrochemical and refinery markets of North America, Latin America and Europe, and project-based demand in the subsea market, offset in part by an increase in revenue from the global petrochemical and refinery market of Asia. Energy industrial revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 included $4.6 million from a North American distributor, in comparison to $5.6 million for the comparable period of 2024. The average selling price per square foot of our energy industrial products increased by 2% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in average selling price reflected the impact of price increases enacted in 2025 and a change in the mix of products sold. This increase in average selling price had the effect of increasing product revenue by $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from the comparable period in 2024. In volume terms, energy industrial product shipments decreased by 11% as measured by square feet of our energy industrial products shipped for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in volume had the effect of decreasing product revenue by $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from the comparable period in 2024. Thermal barrier revenue decreased by $41.9 million, or 46%, to $48.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $90.6 million in the comparable period in 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, thermal barrier revenue included $46.6 million and $86.4 million, respectively, to a major U.S. automotive OEM. The decrease in thermal barrier revenue was driven by a reduction in the volume of parts ordered by our OEM customer and a lower contractual component price during the period compared to the same period in the prior year. 27 Cost of Revenue Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage of Related Percentage of Related Amount Revenue Amount Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) Cost of revenue: Energy industrial $ 15,434 64% $ 16,043 60% $ (609 ) (4)% Thermal barrier 36,784 76% 52,254 58% (15,470 ) (30)% Total cost of revenue $ 52,218 72% $ 68,297 58% $ (16,079 ) (24)% Total cost of revenue decreased $16.1 million, or 24%, to $52.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $68.3 million in the comparable period in 2024. The decrease in total cost of revenue was the result of a decrease in thermal barrier cost of revenue and energy industrial cost of revenue. Energy industrial cost of revenue decreased $0.6 million, or 4%, to $15.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $16.0 million in the comparable period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the volume of products shipped. The $0.6 million decrease was the result of a $1.4 million decrease in manufacturing and other operating costs due to lower volume of energy industrial products shipped from our plant, offset in part by a $0.8 million increase in material costs. Thermal barrier cost of revenue decreased $15.5 million, or 30%, to $36.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $52.3 million in the comparable period in 2024. The $15.5 million decrease was the result of a $10.7 million decrease in material costs and a $7.0 million decrease in manufacturing costs, offset by a $2.2 million credit during the three months ended September 30, 2024 for reimbursement of costs related to the impact from an engineering change, which did not repeat. Material costs decreased primarily due to lower volume and operational efficiencies generating lower scrap. Manufacturing costs decreased due to lower volumes in comparison to the same period in 2024, benefits from the headcount reduction and other cost cutting efforts in 2025. Gross Profit Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Percentage Amount of Revenue Amount of Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) Gross profit: Energy industrial $ 8,871 36% $ 10,733 40% $ (1,862 ) (17)% Thermal barrier 11,928 24% 38,310 42% (26,382 ) (69)% Total gross profit $ 20,799 28% $ 49,043 42% $ (28,244 ) (58)% Gross profit decreased by $28.2 million, or 58%, to $20.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $49.0 million in the comparable period in 2024. The decrease in gross profit was the result of the $44.3 million decrease in total revenue, partially offset by the $16.1 million decrease in total cost of revenue. Research and Development Expenses Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Percentage Amount of Revenue Amount of Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) Research and development expenses $ 2,494 3% $ 4,591 4% $ (2,097 ) (46)% Research and development expenses decreased by $2.1 million, or 46%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $4.6 million in the comparable period in 2024. The $2.1 million decrease reflects decreases in compensation and related costs of $1.9 million, driven by a headcount reduction and a decrease in other expenditures of $0.2 million. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 3% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 4% in the comparable period in 2024. 28 Sales and Marketing Expenses Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Percentage Amount of Revenue Amount of Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) Sales and marketing expenses $ 6,553 9% $ 9,306 8% $ (2,753 ) (30)% Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $2.7 million, or 30%, to $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $9.3 million in the comparable period in 2024. The $2.7 million decrease reflects decreases in compensation and related costs of $1.5 million, partially driven by a headcount reduction, employee related expenses of $0.5 million, marketing expenses of $0.3 million, $0.2 million in professional fees and a decrease in utilities expenses of $0.2 million. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 9% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 8% in the comparable period in 2024. General and Administrative Expenses Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Percentage Amount of Revenue Amount of Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) General and administrative expenses $ 13,532 19% $ 17,746 15% $ (4,214 ) (24)% General and administrative expenses decreased by $4.2 million, or 24%, to $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $17.7 million in the comparable period in 2024. The $4.2 million decrease was the result of decreases in compensation and related costs of $4.0 million, partially driven by a headcount reduction and a decrease in other expenditures of $0.2 million. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 19% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 15% in the comparable period in 2024. Restructuring and demobilization costs In February 2025, we announced and began implementing a restructuring plan to realign our operational focus to improve costs and align capital expenditure to anticipated long term demand. The plan included reducing our headcount and ceasing construction of our previously planned Statesboro Plant. Restructuring and demobilization costs include severance and other personnel costs of $1.3 million and facility closures and other costs associated with demobilization of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. We did not incur restructuring, facility closure or demobilization costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

The $27.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2024 is the result of the repayment of the 2022 Convertible Note in August 2024. Income Tax Expense Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Percentage Amount of Revenue Amount of Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) Income tax expense $ 594 1% $ 267 0% $ 327 122% The $0.6 million of income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is related to our maquiladora operations in Mexico, in addition to a provision for state income taxes of less than $(0.1) million. We incurred $0.3 million of income tax expense related to our maquiladora operations in Mexico for the comparable period in 2024. Results of Operations Nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 The following tables set forth a comparison of the components of our results of operations for the periods presented: Revenue Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage of Percentage of Amount Revenue Amount Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) Revenue: Energy industrial $ 76,920 33% $ 92,781 28% $ (15,861 ) (17)% Thermal barrier 152,844 67% 236,830 72% (83,986 ) (35)% Total revenue $ 229,764 100% $ 329,611 100% $ (99,847 ) (30)% Total revenue decreased $99.8 million, or 30%, to $229.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $329.6 million in the comparable period in 2024. The decrease in total revenue was the result of decreases in thermal barrier revenue and energy industrial revenue. Energy industrial revenue decreased by $15.9 million, or 17%, to $76.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $92.8 million in the comparable period in 2024. This decrease was driven by a decrease in revenue from the global petrochemical and refinery markets of North America, Europe, and Latin America, and in project-based demand in the subsea market, offset in part by an increase in revenue from the global petrochemical and refinery market of Asia. Energy industrial revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included $16.9 million from a North American distributor, in comparison to $19.1 million for the comparable period of 2024. The average selling price per square foot of our energy industrial products increased by less than 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in average selling price reflected the impact of price increases enacted in 2025 and a change in the mix of products sold. This increase in average selling price had the effect of increasing product revenue by $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from the comparable period in 2024. In volume terms, energy industrial product shipments decreased by 18% as measured by square feet of our energy industrial products shipped for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The 30 decrease in volume had the effect of decreasing product revenue by $16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from the comparable period in 2024. Thermal barrier revenue decreased by $84.0 million, or 35%, to $152.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $236.8 million in the comparable period in 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, thermal barrier revenue included $147.9 million and $223.8 million, respectively, to a major U.S. automotive OEM. The decrease in thermal barrier revenue was driven by a reduction in the volume of parts ordered by our OEM customer and a lower contractual component price during the period compared to the same period in the prior year. Cost of Revenue Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage of Related Percentage of Related Amount Revenue Amount Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) Cost of revenue: Energy industrial $ 48,049 62% $ 55,031 59% $ (6,982 ) (13)% Thermal barrier 112,788 74% 138,816 59% (26,028 ) (19)% Total cost of revenue $ 160,837 70% $ 193,847 59% $ (33,010 ) (17)% Total cost of revenue decreased $33.0 million, or 17%, to $160.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $193.8 in the comparable period in 2024. The decrease in total cost of revenue was the result of a decrease in thermal barrier cost of revenue and energy industrial cost of revenue. Energy industrial cost of revenue decreased $7.0 million, or 13%, to $48.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $55.0 million in the comparable period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the volume of products shipped. The $7.0 million decrease was the result of a $7.9 million decrease in manufacturing and other operating costs due to lower volume of energy industrial products manufactured at our plant, offset in part by a $0.9 million increase in material costs. Thermal barrier cost of revenue decreased $26.0 million, or 19%, to $112.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $138.8 million in the comparable period in 2024. The $26.0 million decrease was the result of a $23.2 million decrease in material costs, a $2.4 million decrease in manufacturing costs and a $0.4 million charge for an engineering change during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which did not repeat. Material costs decreased primarily due to lower volume and operational efficiencies generating lower scrap. Manufacturing costs decreased due to lower volumes in the comparable period in 2024 and from headcount reduction and other cost cutting efforts in 2025. Gross Profit Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Percentage Amount of Revenue Amount of Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) Gross profit: Energy industrial $ 28,871 38% $ 37,750 41% $ (8,879 ) (24)% Thermal barrier 40,056 26% 98,014 41% (57,958 ) 59% Total gross profit $ 68,927 30% $ 135,764 41% $ (66,837 ) (49)% Gross profit decreased by $66.9 million, or 49%, to $68.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $135.8 million in the comparable period in 2024. The decrease in gross profit was the result of the $99.8 million decrease in total revenue, partially offset by the $33.0 million decrease in total cost of revenue. 31 Research and Development Expenses Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Percentage Amount of Revenue Amount of Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) Research and development expenses $ 10,621 5% $ 13,645 4% $ (3,024 ) (22)% Research and development expenses decreased by $3.0 million, or 22%, to $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $13.6 million in the comparable period in 2024. The $3.0 million decrease reflects decreases in compensation and related costs of $3.1 million, driven by a headcount reduction, partially offset by an increase in other expenditures of $0.1 million. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 5% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 4% in the comparable period in 2024. Sales and Marketing Expenses Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Percentage Amount of Revenue Amount of Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) Sales and marketing expenses $ 21,885 10% $ 27,130 8% $ (5,245 ) (19)% Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $5.2 million, or 19%, to $21.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $27.1 million in the comparable period in 2024. The $5.2 million decrease reflects decreases in compensation and related costs of $3.3 million, partially driven by a headcount reduction, marketing expenses of $0.6 million, operating supplies and equipment of $0.6 million, employee related expenses of $0.5 million and other expenditures of $0.2 million. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 10% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from 8% in the comparable period in 2024. General and Administrative Expenses Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Percentage Amount of Revenue Amount of Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) General and administrative expenses $ 40,402 18% $ 52,465 16% $ (12,063 ) (23)% General and administrative expenses decreased by $12.1 million, or 23%, to $40.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $52.5 million in the comparable period in 2024. The $12.1 million decrease was the result of decreases in compensation and related costs of $10.3 million, partially driven by a headcount reduction, foreign currency transaction losses of $2.0 million, employee related expenses of $0.9 million and professional fees of $0.8 million, partially offset by an increase in utilities expenses of $1.7 million and other expenditures of $0.2 million. Compensation and related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included a charge of $2.0 million from the cancellation of the unearned performance-based restricted shares. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from 16% in the comparable period in 2024. Restructuring and demobilization costs In February 2025, we announced and began implementing a restructuring plan to realign our operational focus to improve costs and align capital expenditure to anticipated long term demand. The plan included reducing our headcount and ceasing construction of our previously planned Statesboro Plant. In connection with the demobilization, we are no longer pursuing our application for a loan from the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office and have withdrawn from the loan application process. Restructuring and demobilization costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 include severance and other personnel costs of $7.3 million, facility closures and other costs associated with demobilization of $2.9 million and a write off of deferred financing costs of $6.2 32 million incurred in connection with pursuing financing for the construction of the plant. We did not incur restructuring and demobilization costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Impairment of property, plant and equipment Impairment of property, plant and equipment costs increased $284.9 million, to $287.6 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $2.7 million in the comparable period in 2024. The increase was due to impairment of $286.6 million on our previously planned Statesboro Plant and impairment of $1.0 million incurred on research and development equipment. Impairment of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was the result of a charge for impairment of equipment under development due to obsolescence following development of new and more efficient equipment.

The $7.1 million increase in interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is the result of a $11.3 million increase in interest expense from the MidCap Loan Facility and sale and leaseback transactions, offset by $1.8 million of deferred financing costs written off related to the loan agreement with GM during the three months ended March 31, 2024 which did not repeat during the comparable period and an increase in interest income of $2.4 million. The $27.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is the result of the repayment of the 2022 Convertible Note in August 2024. The $1.7 million increase in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily due to a $1.1 million legal settlement payment to us. Income Tax Expense Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Percentage Amount of Revenue Amount of Revenue Amount Percentage ($ in thousands) Income tax expense $ 2,491 1% $ 1,889 1% $ 602 32% The $2.5 million of income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is related to our maquiladora operations in Mexico and a provision for state income taxes of $0.3 million. We incurred $1.9 million of income tax expense related to our maquiladora operations in Mexico for the comparable period in 2024. Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview We have experienced significant costs and invested substantial resources since our inception to develop, commercialize and protect our aerogel technology and to build a manufacturing infrastructure capable of supplying aerogel products at the volumes and 33 costs required by our customers. These investments have included research and development and other operating expenses, capital expenditures, and investment in working capital balances. On August 19, 2024, we entered into the Credit Agreement with the Agent and the Lenders. The MidCap Loan Facility under the Credit Agreement is comprised of (i) the Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million and (ii) the Revolving Facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the lesser of $100.0 million and the value of the Borrowing Base. At closing of the Credit Agreement, the Company drew $125.0 million from the Term Loan Facility and $43.0 million from the Revolving Facility. The proceeds of the borrowings at closing, net of fees and costs, were used for repurchasing the 2022 Convertible Notes for $150.0 million and for general corporate purposes. On May 6, 2025, the Credit Agreement was amended to add Aspen Georgia as a Borrower and to amend the MidCap Loan Facility. At September 30, 2025, we are in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Amended MidCap Loan Facility. However, given the decline in our revenues in 2025 as compared to the prior year, there can be no assurance that we will comply with one or more of these financial covenants as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. In January 2024 and September 2024, we entered into sale and leaseback arrangements, pursuant to which we sold certain equipment to an equipment leasing company for one-time cash payments of $5.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, and leased back such equipment from the leasing company. The associated monthly lease rents will be paid over the lease term of three years. We believe that our September 30, 2025 cash and cash equivalents balance of $150.7 million will be sufficient to support current operating requirements and capital expenditures required to support our existing business in the energy industrial and EV markets for at least the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, we expect that we will need to supplement our cash balance with anticipated cash flow from operations, as well as potential equity financings, debt financings, equipment leasing, sale-leaseback transactions, customer prepayments, or government grant and loan programs to provide the additional capital necessary to support the Company’s long-term growth strategy. We believe that consummation of equity financings could potentially result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Such an ownership change would lead to the use of our net operating loss carryforwards being restricted. Our inability to use a substantial portion of our net operating loss carryforwards would result in a higher effective tax rate and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Primary Sources of Liquidity Our principal sources of liquidity are currently our cash and cash equivalents, availability under the Revolving Facility, and cash generated by ongoing operations. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash, money market accounts, and sweep accounts on deposit with banks. As of September 30, 2025, we had $150.7 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Analysis of Cash Flow Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 (In thousands) Net cash provided by (used in): Operating activities $ 16,737 $ 9,865 Investing activities (34,985 ) (71,511 ) Financing activities (50,596 ) 35,558 Net decrease in cash (68,844 ) (26,088 ) Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period 221,276 139,971 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period $ 152,432 $ 113,883 Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we generated $16.7 million in net cash in operating activities, as compared to the generation of $9.9 million in net cash during the comparable period in 2024, an increase in cash provided by operations of $6.8 million. This increase in cash provided by operations was the result of an increase in net cash generated by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $81.8 million, offset by a decrease in net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $74.9 million. 34 Net Cash Used in Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities is for capital expenditures for machinery and equipment principally to improve the throughput, efficiency and capacity of our East Providence facility, our automated fabrication facility in Mexico and construction costs for the previously planned Statesboro Plant. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $35.0 million and $71.5 million, respectively. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $50.6 million and consisted of $28.0 million in cash used for the repayment of the Revolving Facility, $19.5 for the repayment of the Term Loan Facility, $3.7 in repayments of the finance obligation under the sale and leaseback transaction, $0.7 million for payments made for employee tax withholdings associated with the vesting of RSUs, $1.4 million in proceeds from employee stock option exercises, and less than $0.1 million in cash used for fees and issuance costs. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $35.6 million and consisted of $15.0 million in proceeds from a sales leaseback, $10.4 million in proceeds from employee stock option exercises, $119.7 in proceeds from the term loan, net of issues costs, and $42.7 in proceeds from the Revolving Facility, net of issuance costs, offset by $150.0 million in cash used for the repayment of the 2022 Convertible Note, $1.3 million in cash used for payments made for employee tax withholdings associated with the vesting of RSUs, $0.8 million in repayments of a sales leaseback, and less than $0.1 million in cash used for fees and issuance costs.

Quantitative and Qualitati ve Disclosures About Market Risk. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure results primarily from fluctuations in interest rates, as well as from inflation. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates which affect our cash flows. We may also face additional exchange rate risk in the future as we expand our business internationally. Interest Rate Risk We are exposed to changes in interest rates in the normal course of our business. As of September 30, 2025, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $150.7 million. These amounts were held for working capital and capital expansion purposes and were invested primarily in deposit accounts, money market accounts, and high-quality debt securities issued by the U.S. government via cash sweep accounts at major financial institutions in North America. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe that our exposure to changes in the fair value of our cash as a result of changes in interest rates is not material. As of September 30, 2025, the Term Loan Facility had a principal balance of $99.0 million. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, the Term Loan Facility bears an interest rate equal to Term SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 5.00% per year, subject to a Term SOFR floor of 4.50% and a Term SOFR cap of 7.50%. Interest is paid monthly. As of September 30, 2025, the Revolving Facility had a principal balance of $15.0 million. Our Revolving Facility bears interest at the Term SOFR plus 5.10% per annum. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, the Revolving Facility is subject to a Term SOFR floor of 2.50%. Interest is paid monthly. Therefore, fluctuations in interest rates will impact our consolidated financial statements. A rising interest rate environment will increase the amount of interest paid on these loans. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material effect on the results of our operations. As of September 30, 2025, we had $1.7 million of restricted cash to support our outstanding letters of credit to secure obligations under certain commercial contracts and other obligations. Inflation Risk Although we expect that our operating results will be influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations during the periods presented in this report. However, our business may be affected by inflation in the future. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk We are subject to inherent risks attributed to operating in a global economy. A majority of our revenue, receivables, purchases and debts are denominated in U.S. dollars. Certain transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our largest exposures to foreign exchange rates consisted primarily of the Mexican Peso against the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency transaction losses were $0.2 million and $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The foreign currency transactions were recorded within operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
