CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Terrestrial Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: IMSR) (“Terrestrial Energy” or “the Company”), a developer of small modular nuclear plants using its Generation IV Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR), today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“This quarter we reported developments across all three pillars of our business plan. We secured site control at the Texas A&M-RELLIS site, advanced projects TETRA and TEFLA, and received NRC approval of our Postulated Initiating Events methodology,” said Simon Irish, Chief Executive Officer of Terrestrial Energy. “Engineering progress has allowed us to re-estimate our unit economics, particularly for our two principal businesses of IMSR Core-unit and Fuel Salt supply. We now estimate $2.7 billion of cumulative lifetime revenue per IMSR Plant, up from $2.1 billion, with a blended gross margin of 33%. This lifts our serviceable addressable market to $2.3 trillion by 2050. These economics achieved with a capital-light business model, illustrate the value of IMSR Core-unit and Fuel Salt supply.”

About Terrestrial Energy

Terrestrial Energy is a developer of Generation IV nuclear plants that use its proprietary Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR). The IMSR captures the transformative operating benefits of molten salt reactor technology in a plant design that represents true innovation in capital efficiency, cost reduction, versatility and functionality of nuclear energy supply. IMSR plants are designed to be small and modular for distributed supply of low-cost, reliable, dispatchable, clean, high-temperature industrial heat and electricity, and to be customized for a dual-use energy role relevant to many industrial applications, such as petrochemical and chemical synthesis, and data center operation. In so doing, IMSR plants extend the application of nuclear energy far beyond electric power markets. Their deployment will support the rapid growth of clean firm heat and power, delivering energy self-reliance, grid reliability and economic growth. Terrestrial Energy uses an innovative plant design together with proven and demonstrated molten salt reactor technology and readily-available and inexpensive standard-assay low-enriched uranium in its fuel for a nuclear plant with a unique set of operating characteristics and compelling transformative commercial potential. Terrestrial Energy is engaged with regulators, suppliers, industrial partners and energy end-users to build, license and commission the first IMSR plants in the early 2030s.
