(NYSE American: BCHT) (TSX: BCHT) (“Birchtech” or the “Company”), a leader in specialty activated carbon technologies for sustainable air and water treatment, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Key Second Quarter 2026 & Subsequent Operational Highlights
-
Announced the end of all remaining attempts to challenge the Company’s patents under Inter Partes Review (IPR), with every petition filed with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) against Birchtech’s patented SEA® mercury emissions removal technology now dismissed, removed prior to institution, or resolved, and all parties previously involved permanently barred from bringing further patent validity challenges.
-
The Company’s $78+ million final judgment in its patent infringement litigation remains outstanding, is currently on appeal, and continues to accrue post-judgment interest.
-
Appointed respected financial executive Michael Mioska, CPA, MBA, as Chief Financial Officer in May 2026, succeeding Fiona Fitzmaurice.
-
Promoted Jim Trettel to Chief Operating Officer; Mr. Trettel joined the Company in 2014, most recently served as Executive Vice President of Operations, and now oversees Birchtech’s corporate operations across both its clean air and clean water platforms.
-
Exhibited at leading industry and investor conferences, including the AWWA ACE26 Annual Conference & Exposition, the Pennsylvania Section AWWA Technical Conference, the ASMS 2026 Conference and the Noble Capital Markets Emerging Growth Conference.
Richard MacPherson, Birchtech President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “In our water business, we continued to execute on our ‘data-first’ strategy and put our platform in front of the industry at scale, showcasing our Design Center analytical services, RSSCT testing, SEA-IX™ nuclear-grade ion exchange resin line and granular activated carbon solutions at leading water industry conferences during the quarter, including AWWA ACE26 in Washington, D.C., the largest national gathering of water professionals. We continue to make meaningful progress towards establishing our Carbon Rejuvenation capacity and look forward to providing further updates to that end in the near-term.
“In addition, in June, the final remaining IPR petitions challenging our patents were terminated, ending failed attempts to invalidate our patented SEA® technology, with all parties previously involved permanently barred from bringing further validity challenges. With our patent estate secured, we are determined in our pursuit of the enforcement of the final judgment, approximately $78+ million, on which post-judgment interest continues to accrue. We are also committed to convert our licensed utilities into long-term product supply customers.
