American Battery Technology Company Announces Highest Ever Gross Profit and Successful Appeal for Reinstatement of $57 Million US Department of Energy Grant in Fourth Quarter FY2026 Financial Results

Increase in gross profit of 86% through continued scale-up and implementation of operational efficiencies at its domestic-US critical mineral recycling facility, and reinstatement of competitive $57 million grant from U.S. Department of Energy

Reno, Nev., August 20, 2026 — American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT), an integrated domestic critical mineral manufacturing company that is commercializing its internally-developed technologies for both primary critical mineral manufacturing and secondary critical mineral recycling, released the unaudited financial results for its fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 (FY26) ended on June 30, 2026.

During the quarter, American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) continued to scale-up and implement operational efficiencies at its Nevada critical mineral recycling facility and achieved record breaking quarterly revenue of $8.2 million, while simultaneously decreasing cost of goods sold, resulting in a quarter-over-quarter increase in gross profit of 86% to $1.3 million. This substantial growth in gross profit of its recycling facility further demonstrates the advantages of ABTC’s internally-developed technologies and its position as one of the dominant critical mineral recyclers in the U.S.

In addition to operating its critical mineral recycling facility, ABTC is also developing and constructing its critical mineral mine and refinery at its Tonopah Flats Lithium Project (TFLP) near Tonopah, Nevada. During the quarter, ABTC announced that it had successfully won its appeal with the U.S. Department of Energy and had its previously terminated grant for $57 million supporting the $115 million construction of the first processing train at the TFLP fully reinstated.

Financial Highlights, Fourth Quarter of FY26 (unaudited):

●$8.2 million in Revenue, a 5.1% increase from the previous quarter

◌An additional $0.3 million income from interest for the quarter

●$6.9 million in Cost of Goods Sold, a 2.8% decrease from the previous quarter

◌Resulting from implementation of several operational efficiencies

●$1.3 million in Gross Profit, an 86% increase from the previous quarter and ABTC’s largest ever positive gross profit from operations

●$50.3 million cash, a 31% increase from the end of the previous quarter

◌Includes $49.5 million in unrestricted and $0.8 million in restricted cash

●$0.0 million debt, Company currently holds zero debt

“We are excited to demonstrate continued scale-up at our Nevada critical mineral recycling facility and the impacts of continued implementation of operational efficiencies, as they exemplify the competitiveness of our technology and market position,” stated ABTC CEO Ryan Melsert. “We are proud of our long-standing partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy, as demonstrated by the fact that very few of the recently terminated grants have been able to successfully appeal the decisions and have their contracts reinstated.”
