Operating Performance and Drivers
OKLO remains a pre-revenue company, reporting no sales in the fourth quarter or full year 2025 as it continues to focus on development and deployment of its nuclear energy platform.
For Q4’25, the company reported an EPS of -$0.27, wider than both the prior quarter’s loss of $0.20 and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of -$0.18, reflecting continued investment in growth initiatives and project execution.
On a full-year basis, operating loss expanded significantly to $139.3 million from $52.8 million in fiscal 2024, primarily driven by:
• Higher payroll and headcount expansion
• Increased general and administrative expenses
• Elevated professional and project-related costs tied to capital markets activity and asset deployment
Balance Sheet and Cash Flows
OKLO exited fiscal 2025 with a strong liquidity position of approximately $1.4 billion, supported by capital raises and financing activities during the year.
Additionally, the company further strengthened its balance sheet post-year-end by raising over $1.1 billion net proceeds through its ATM program, positioning it to fund long-term growth initiatives.
Cash flow trends highlight continued investment in growth:
• Operating cash outflow: $82.2 million in fiscal 2025 (within guidance range)
Guidance
Looking ahead, management expects:
• 2026 operating cash usage: $80–$100 million
• 2026 investing cash usage: $350–$450 million, reflecting acceleration of project deployments across power, fuel, and isotopes
