19 August 2026: Norsk Titanium AS (Euronext: NTI, OTCQX: NORSF), a global leader
in structural titanium additive manufacturing, today announced its financial
results for the first half of 2026, with key highlights including: 

o	Revenue and other income totaled USD 2.9 million in the first half of 2026, a
38% increase year over year
o	Serial production revenue was USD 1.1 million, up 29% year over year, driven
by higher volumes on part deliveries
o	Development revenue was USD 1.7 million, up 50% year over year
o	Average monthly cash burn  was USD 2.1 million, a 28% decrease year over year,
and the cash balance was USD 19.6 million at 30 June 2026
o	Successfully raised a total of USD 27.3 million (NOK 260 million) in a private
placement, consisting of two tranches at NOK 1.00 per share with continued
support from the Company's largest shareholders. Tranche 1 of the Private
Placement was carried out through issuance of 130,460,200 shares in June 2026.
Tranche 2 was completed after the close of the period 
o	Expanded the strategic relationship with Airbus through agreements to develop,
industrialize and qualify RPD® for high-criticality structural titanium parts,
and advanced the first RPD® machine deployment at Airbus' facility in Varel,
Germany
o	Secured the first serial production contract with Northrop Grumman following a
multi-year qualification process
o	Received a USD 4.2 million contract to advance additive manufacturing for
submarine applications from the U.S. Department of War
o	Expanded the Hittech partnership through 2027 to support AI-driven
semiconductor demand, with volumes expected to grow significantly in 2026 and
forecasted to reach approximately USD 2.8 million in 2027

"When we presented the outcome of our strategic review in February, we set a
clear objective to move Norsk Titanium from engineering-led development to
accountable commercial execution. In the first half, we demonstrated that this
strategy is translating into customer commitments, contract awards and concrete
steps toward broader commercial adoption. We advanced all three of our revenue
streams by ramping production and securing new awards across aerospace and
defense, expanding the Hittech partnership to support higher semiconductor
volumes, and deploying the first RPD® machine at Airbus in Varel as the first
step in our RPD® Ecosystem. The MMPDS publication and Nadcap accreditation
further strengthen the qualification platform supporting broader commercial
adoption," said Fabrizio Ponte, CEO of Norsk Titanium. 

"These advances come as aerospace and defense demand is rising and qualified
titanium supply remains constrained, reinforcing the relevance of our
technology. The recent capital raise strengthens our balance sheet and gives us
the flexibility to execute the commercial milestones ahead. While the timing of
the ramp remains customer-dependent, our priorities are clear: progress further
Airbus production orders, advance high-rate defense programs, convert
short-cycle opportunities and improve unit economics. By scaling our already
installed production platform, we estimate breakeven at approximately 25%
capacity utilization in 2028 and an EBITDA margin of approximately 30% at around
50% utilization by 2030. Our ambition is to establish RPD® as a scaled
production platform for critical global industries and convert our installed
capacity and intellectual property into durable earnings and significant
long-term shareholder value," continued Ponte.

Financial Summary
Revenue and other income totaled USD 2.9 million in the first half of 2026,
compared with USD 2.1 million in the first half of 2025, representing
year-over-year growth of 38%. Revenue from part sales and development contracts
was USD 2.8 million, with other income of USD 0.1 million. Revenue from serial
production was USD 1.1 million, an increase of 29%, driven by higher part
deliveries to Airbus and the recovery in semiconductor demand at Hittech.
Revenue from products and services delivered under development contracts was USD
1.7 million, an increase of 50%, driven primarily by Boeing development
programs, with Safran contributing a further USD 0.2 million.
 
Operating expenses were USD 15.0 million, resulting in an EBITDA loss of USD
12.1 million, compared with an EBITDA loss of USD 15.1 million in the first half
of 2025. Net loss for the period was USD 12.5 million, compared with USD 40.1
million in the first half of 2025, with the year-over-year change primarily
reflecting substantially lower net financial expenses following the
classification of the intercompany loan as part of the net investment in Norsk
Titanium US Inc. 

Average monthly cash burn was USD 2.1 million, compared with USD 2.9 million in
the first half of 2025. Cash and cash equivalents were USD 19.6 million at 30
June 2026. The balance included USD 13.2 million in gross proceeds from Tranche
1 of the private placement and excluded the proceeds from Tranche 2 and the
subsequent offering, which were completed after the end of the period. On a pro
forma basis, adjusting the 30 June cash balance for the gross proceeds from
Tranche 2 and the subsequent offering, the cash position was approximately USD
35 million.

Outlook
Norsk Titanium sees increasing demand for qualified titanium components,
supported by rising aircraft production, expanding defense requirements, efforts
to build more resilient supply chains, and global investment in AI and advanced
computing infrastructure. At the same time, limited qualified forging capacity
and long lead times continue to constrain the traditional titanium value chain,
increasing the value of qualified, scalable and efficient additive manufacturing
alternatives.

The Company estimates that approximately 25% utilization of its installed
production platform will support breakeven in 2028. Norsk Titanium's medium-term
ambitions are to move toward 50% capacity utilization and reach USD 150 million
of revenue with an approximately 30% EBITDA margin by year-end 2030. At full
utilization, the current 700 metric ton production platform is estimated to
support approximately USD 300 million of annual revenue.

Progress toward these ambitions will be driven by increased volumes as qualified
aerospace and defense programs convert into serial production, an improved
revenue mix including higher-margin RPD® Ecosystem revenue, and continued
reductions in unit costs. The timing of part qualifications, contract awards and
production schedules remains customer-dependent and may cause revenue and cash
flow to vary between reporting periods.

The private placement and subsequent offering strengthen the Company's financial
position and are intended to fund the commercial and operational milestones
required to progress toward breakeven. The Company's priorities for the second
half of 2026 are to progress further Airbus production orders, advance high-rate
defense programs, convert short-cycle opportunities and improve unit economics.
