Perma-Fix Environmental Services had a negative net margin of 22.35% and a negative return on equity of 19.26%.

Here are the key takeaways from Perma-Fix Environmental Services’ conference call:

• Perma-Fix says Hanford is moving from preparation to execution — ETF shipments began mid‑April and management estimates ETF alone can support more than $4 million per quarter, while an expanded December 2025 permit and facility investments position Perma‑Fix Northwest to support multiple Hanford streams and large grouting programs over years.
• Q1 was weak — revenue fell to $11.1 million (from $13.9M), EBITDA loss widened to $7.0 million, net loss was $7.5 million, and cash declined to $6.7 million; management calls the quarter “transitional” after deliberate inventory reductions and readiness investments.
• PFAS platform showed commercial progress — Perma‑Fix completed a DOE PFAS destruction project, is installing a Gen‑2 unit at Oak Ridge to add ~2,000 gallons/shift of capacity, and reports new regional airport wins and partnerships that could expand that revenue stream.
• Nuclear services momentum — a mobilized $24 million Livermore master task order is underway, the company is in contention for the large USS Enterprise decommissioning opportunity (award expected soon), and management highlights a growing services pipeline that leverages its integrated treatment/transport/disposal capabilities.
