About this update from Onterris, Inc.
First Quarter 2026 Highlights (comparisons to first quarter 2025) Full-Year 2026 Guidance Reiterated, Provides Second Quarter Outlook Brand Announcement and Segment Realignment LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 06, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--Onterris, Inc. (the "Company," "Onterris" or "ONT") (NYSE: ONT) a global environmental solutions company solving complex challenges for planet and progress, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Onterris President and Chief Executive Officer, Vijay Manthripragada, commented, "We delivered first quarter Adjusted EBITDA and margin consistent with our expectations, despite lower revenue, reflecting continued operating efficiency gains. First quarter revenue was impacted by timing-related factors, most notably unseasonably severe winter weather in North America that limited field activity and delayed lab volumes, as well as lower environmental emergency response activity. We view both dynamics as transitory, with underlying demand remaining strong and continuing to grow across our core services. Our full year outlook is unchanged, with performance expected to build through the year. This confidence is supported by recent awards, visibility into our project pipeline and continued operational discipline." Mr. Manthripragada continued, "We are also excited about the launch of our Onterris brand, which aligns our capabilities under a single platform. This strategic evolution enhances how we serve our clients, strengthens cross-selling, and accelerates long-term growth, while reinforcing our commitment to clients seeking the next generation of environmental solutions." First Quarter 2026 Results Revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $168.5 million compared to $177.8 million in the prior-year quarter, a decrease of $9.3 million, or 5.2%. The decrease was primarily due to lower environmental emergency response revenue of $5.8 million and lower weather related revenue in the Measurement and Analysis segment of $5.1 million, partially offset by organic growth of $2.5 million in the Consulting and Treatment segment. Consulting and Treatment segment revenue was $114.6 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $118.8 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to the decrease in environmental emergency response that was partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in organic growth. Environmental emergency response revenue was $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $13.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Measurement and Analysis segment revenue was $53.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $59.0 million in the prior-year quarter. This $5.1 million decrease was primarily due to the impact of severe weather conditions in January and February 2026 in the United States, which limited the ability for field teams in certain regions to be on site and disrupted sample deliveries to our labs. Loss from operations in the first quarter of 2026 improved primarily due to higher margin in the Consulting and Treatment segment as a result of project mix, continued cost discipline, losses in the prior year period related to our renewables business and a decrease of $4.7 million in stock based compensation expense, partially offset by lower revenue and margin in the Measurement and Analysis segment. Net loss in the first quarter of 2026 improved to $12.7 million, or $0.35 LPS, compared to a net loss of $19.4 million, or $0.64 LPS, in the prior-year quarter. This $6.7 million year-over-year improvement in net loss primarily resulted from improved operating profitability across the Consulting and Treatment segment, gains on our hedging instruments in the current year versus losses in the prior year, and lower income tax expense. The $0.29 comparative period improvement in LPS was due to improved net loss, the elimination of the Series A-2 dividend following full redemption of the shares on July 1, 2025, and an increase in weighted average common shares outstanding. Adjusted Net Income 1 and Adj EPS 1 in the first quarter of 2026 were $4.6 million and $0.12, respectively, compared to $5.8 million and $0.07, respectively, in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted Net Income 1 decreased due to lower revenues in the current period, with Adj EPS 1 in the current period benefiting from the elimination of the Series A-2 dividend and lower fully diluted common shares outstanding. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 1 in the first quarter of 2026 was $17.8 million, or 10.6% of revenue, compared to $19.0 million, or 10.7% of revenue, in the prior-year quarter. The decrease in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 1 and parity in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 1 as a percentage of revenue resulted primarily from lower revenue and lower operating margin in the Measurement and Analysis segment, primarily related to severe weather related delays, partially offset by improved operating margin in the Consulting and Treatment segment, primarily due to improved operating profitability. Operating Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources Net cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was $11.6 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $5.5 million in the prior year period. This $17.1 million decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in bonus payments of $16.0 million due to financial outperformance in 2025 versus targets. Free cash flow 1 during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was a negative $17.2 million. As of March 31, 2026, Onterris reported a leverage ratio under the 2025 Credit Facility of 2.8x. As of March 31, 2026, Onterris had $188.4 million of available liquidity, including $10.0 million of cash and $178.4 million of availability on its revolving line of credit.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "intend," "expect", and "may", and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or that are not statements of historical matters. Forward-looking statements are based on current information available at the time the statements are made and on management’s reasonable belief or expectations with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from the belief or expectations expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Additional factors or events that could cause actual results to differ may also arise from time to time, and the Company cannot predict all of them. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect future events, developments or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law. Investors are referred to the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as supplemented by its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, for additional information regarding the risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to our results under GAAP, in this release we also present certain other supplemental financial measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, including, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Basic and Diluted Adj EPS. We calculate Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related costs, as set forth in greater detail in the table below. We calculate Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) before amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, fair value changes to financial instruments and contingent earnouts, discontinued specialty lab, and other gain or losses, as set forth in greater detail in the table below. Basic Adj EPS represents Adjusted Net Income attributable to stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted Adj EPS represents Adjusted Net Income attributable to stockholders divided by the fully diluted number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Free cash flow is defined as the sum of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and net cash used in investing activities, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including contingent consideration and other purchase price true ups, minority investments, cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired; and dividend payments to the Series A-2 holders. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate our financial performance and compare it to that of our peers, evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, make budgeting and capital allocation decisions and in connection with our executive incentive compensation. Adjusted Net Income and Basic and Diluted Adj EPS are useful metrics to evaluate ongoing business performance after interest and tax. These measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, we believe they are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results because they allow for more consistent comparisons of financial performance between periods by excluding gains and losses that are non-operational in nature or outside the control of management, and, in the case of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, by excluding items that may differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Free cash flow is used by management as one of the means by which it assesses cash generation in excess of ongoing capital needs of the business. These non-GAAP measures do, however, have certain limitations and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Basic and Diluted Adj EPS should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items for which we may make adjustments. In addition, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Basic and Diluted Adj EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries, and other companies may not present these or similar measures. Management compensates for these limitations by using these measures as supplemental financial metrics and in conjunction with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single measure and to view Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Basic and Diluted Adj EPS in conjunction with the related GAAP measures. Free cash flow has certain limitations and should not be considered as an alternative to or in isolation from net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of cash flow generation calculated in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating Free cash flow, you should be aware that Free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Additionally, we have provided estimates regarding Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for 2026. These projections account for estimates of revenue, operating margins and corporate and other costs. However, we cannot reconcile our projection of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable efforts because of the unpredictable or unknown nature of certain significant items excluded from Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and the resulting difficulty in quantifying the amounts thereof that are necessary to estimate net income (loss). Specifically, we are unable to estimate for the future impact of certain items, including income tax (expense) benefit, stock-based compensation expense, and fair value changes. We expect the variability of these items could have a significant impact on our reported GAAP financial results. In this release we also reference our organic growth. We define organic growth as the change in revenues excluding revenues from i) our environmental emergency response business, ii) acquisitions for the first twelve months following the date of acquisition, and iii) businesses held for sale, disposed of or discontinued. Management uses organic growth as one of the means by which it assesses our results of operations. Organic growth is not, however, a measure of revenue growth calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should be considered in conjunction with revenue growth calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have grown organically over the long term and expect to continue to do so. In a given reporting period, when we refer to revenue changes driven by acquisitions, we are referring to the revenue contribution from any acquisition from its closing date through the first 12 months of that acquisition, at which point any subsequent contribution therefrom would be organic.
