MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as those included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

As discussed in more detail under “Forward-Looking Statements” preceding this MD&A, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s current expectations, estimates, and projections, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements because of the risks and uncertainties inherent in future events, including those set forth under “Forward-Looking Statements” and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors included herein.

Overview of Our Business and Recent Developments Regarding Lightbridge Fuel™

When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “Lightbridge,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Lightbridge Corporation together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Thorium Power Inc.

Our Business

At Lightbridge, we are developing advanced metallic nuclear fuel for existing and new water-cooled reactors designed to improve the economics and safety of existing and new nuclear power plants and enhance proliferation resistance of spent nuclear fuel while supplying clean energy to the electric grid or to “behind the meter” customers for electric power, including data centers. We believe our metallic fuel could offer significant economic and safety benefits over traditional nuclear fuel, primarily because of the superior heat transfer properties and the resulting lower operating temperature of our all-metal fuel.

We believe our metallic fuel can be used in different types of water-cooled commercial power reactors, such as pressurized water reactors, boiling-water reactors, Russian-designed water-cooled commercial power reactors, Canada Deuterium Uranium heavy water reactors, water-cooled small modular reactors, and water-cooled research reactors. We have obtained patent validation in key countries that we believe would have a commercial market for our fuel and will continue to seek patent validation in countries that either currently operate or are expected to build and operate a large number of nuclear power reactors compatible with our fuel technology.

Commercialization Outlook and Key Drivers of Timing

The Company believes long-term industry trends continue to support investment in advanced nuclear technologies. Growing demand for reliable electricity, including demand associated with artificial intelligence computing, hyperscale data centers, electrification, advanced manufacturing, and energy security initiatives, has significantly increased interest in expanding nuclear generation and improving the performance of existing reactors. Advances in reactor technology, combined with growing corporate and governmental support for nuclear energy, can position nuclear power as a cornerstone of future energy strategies for data-intensive industries, which recent evidence suggests may be willing to pay a premium for reliable, clean, and sustainable baseload electricity. The Company believes these trends may increase the long-term market opportunities for advanced nuclear fuel technologies designed to improve reactor economics, increase power output, and enhance operational flexibility. Accordingly, the Company's current research, engineering, manufacturing planning, and strategic collaborations are focused on advancing the technical and commercial readiness of Lightbridge Fuel™ to address these long-term market opportunities.

The long-term milestones marking progress towards development and commercialization of nuclear fuel assemblies include, among other matters, irradiating nuclear material samples and prototype fuel rods with enriched uranium in test reactors, conducting post-irradiation examination of irradiated material samples and/or prototype fuel rods, performing thermal-hydraulic experiments, performing seismic and other out-of-reactor experiments, performing advanced computer modeling and simulations to support fuel qualification, designing a lead test assembly (LTA), entering into one or more lead test rod/assembly agreements with host reactors, demonstrating the production process of the fuel including lead test rods and/or LTAs, and demonstrating the operation of lead test rods and/or LTAs in commercial reactors.

There are inherent uncertainties in the cost and outcomes of the many steps needed for successful deployment of Lightbridge Fuel™ in commercial nuclear reactors, which makes it difficult to accurately predict the timing of the commercialization of our nuclear fuel technology. Our ultimate commercial model remains under evaluation and may evolve as our fuel development progresses, regulatory pathways are further clarified, and commercial partnerships are further established. See Part I, Item 1A. *Risk Factors—“*Risks Related to Our Business and to the Commercialization of Lightbridge Fuel™” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Development of a Pilot-Scale Facility and Future Lightbridge Expandable Fuel Facility

The Company is evaluating a potential site location and developing a conceptual design for a Lightbridge Expandable Fuel Facility (LEFF) to support the possible future fabrication of Lightbridge Fuel™ for use in commercial reactors. The Company also continually evaluates a variety of strategic opportunities that could accelerate the commercialization of its advanced nuclear fuel technology, including the potential establishment of a pilot-scale fuel fabrication capability to support the future manufacture of LTAs.

In connection with these efforts, the Company may decide, from time to time, to apply to programs available through various governmental agencies that offer funding, regulatory flexibility, or other support related to the advancement of its nuclear fuel technology. Such programs may require significant capital investment and could materially increase research and development activities, capital expenditures, manufacturing capabilities and staffing over the next several years. For example, the Company recently submitted an application to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) seeking authorization and collaboration through the agency’s Nuclear Energy Launch Pad program relating to such a pilot-scale fuel fabrication capability. The requested authorization, if obtained and ultimately pursued by the Company, could enable earlier fabrication and testing of LTAs and accelerate the Company's commercialization timeline.

The construction of a pilot-scale facility could commence as early as 2027, subject to various factors, including those described below. This initiative would represent a significant potential expansion of the Company’s operations beyond its current R&D activities. While the scope, timing, and cost of constructing such a facility cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, the Company expects that the capital required to design, license, and construct any pilot-scale facility or LEFF would be substantial. The timing, amount, and sources of any related financing activities will depend on a number of factors, including the progress of the Company’s development programs, regulatory considerations, market conditions, and the availability of strategic partnerships or other funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all, nor can there be any assurance that the Company will pursue the construction of the fabrication facility.

Recent Developments Regarding Lightbridge Fuel™

Reconstitution of the Nuclear Utility Fuel Advisory Board

In June 2026, the Company launched a reconstituted Nuclear Utility Fuel Advisory Board, which is intended to provide the Company with input directly from utility industry representatives regarding fuel development priorities, licensing considerations, deployment strategies, operational requirements, and commercialization planning.

The advisory board serves in an advisory capacity only and does not constitute a commitment by any participant to purchase, license, deploy, or otherwise utilize the Company's fuel technology.

Updates to Idaho National Laboratory Agreements

In 2022, the Company entered into agreements with Batelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA), the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) operating contractor for Idaho National Laboratory (INL), to support the development of Lightbridge Fuel™. The framework agreements consist of an “umbrella” Strategic Partnership Project Agreement (SPPA) and an “umbrella” Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), each with BEA. The Company continues to perform work under its SPPA and CRADA with BEA, as previously described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company periodically updates project scopes, schedules and cost estimates using a rolling wave planning approach for project management purposes on the released scopes of work. It is an iterative planning technique in which the work to be accomplished in the near term is planned in detail, while work further in the future is planned at a higher level. As such, periodic revisions to the scope and/or cost estimates are anticipated.

Other Updates to the SPPA and CRADA

In June 2026, the Company entered into Modification No. 5 to CRADA Project Task Statement (PTS) No.1 with BEA to increase the total estimated reimbursable cost by approximately $1.1 million, bringing the total estimated cost for the work to be performed under CRADA PTS No.1 to $5.4 million.

In April 2026, the Company entered into SPPA PTS No. 6 to support the development of coextruded fuel rod components for future irradiation testing. This program builds on prior INL fabrication work and is intended to further refine manufacturing processes and materials necessary to produce fuel rods and rodlets in their final cross-sectional configurations. Initial process development activities will be conducted using depleted uranium, with the expectation that, upon successful demonstration, these processes may be applied to enriched uranium to produce fuel rod segments for irradiation experiments at test reactors, including the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR). The program is expected to help bridge the transition from earlier-stage fabrication development and initial coupon fuel material samples currently undergoing irradiation testing in the ATR to the production of irradiation rod segment test specimens. The scope of work includes enhancements to fabrication processes and equipment, development and testing of key materials (including central displacer alloys and cladding behavior), and validation of coextrusion techniques for both cylindrical and multi-lobe fuel designs. The program also includes preparation of fuel rod segment specimens, including those with controlled defects, to support non-destructive evaluation calibration and irradiation testing. The total estimated cost of SPPA PTS No.6 is approximately $4.6 million over an expected performance period of 36 months. Costs are incurred on a reimbursable basis, with advance and monthly funding provided by the Company. The Company is not obligated to continue work beyond the estimated cost without additional authorization. This effort represents a key step in the Company’s ongoing fuel qualification strategy, supporting the advancement from process development toward irradiation testing and future commercialization activities.

In March 2026, the Company entered into Modification No. 4 to CRADA PTS No. 1 with BEA to extend the performance period end date through September 2032 and increase advanced funding by $0.3 million, with no increase to the total estimated reimbursable cost.

Total Cumulative Estimated Costs

As of June 30, 2026, the Company expects to pay an aggregate $25.2 million to BEA under the CRADA and the SPPA on a cost reimbursable basis over the performance periods. As of June 30, 2026, a cumulative total of $7.1 million has been expensed and the aggregate funding commitment remaining under these agreements is $18.1 million. These obligations are generally cancellable with 30-60 days’ notice and, therefore, are not considered firm commitments, and are not expensed until incurred. Actual expenditures may differ from this amount based on the scope and timing of work performed through the issuance of additional PTSs to BEA.

Master Services Agreement with Amentum Technology Inc.

In December 2025, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with Amentum Technology Inc. (Amentum) relating to the performance of activities by Amentum in support of various activities as the Company and Amentum may agree from time to time. In June 2026, the Company entered into a new task order with Amentum to conduct feasibility and site selection studies and develop a conceptual design for a standalone LEFF, with completion of deliverables expected in early 2027. The Company expects to incur approximately $2.4 million of R&D expenses under this task order.

Critical Accounting Estimates

For a discussion of the accounting judgments and estimates that we have identified as critical in the preparation of our financial statements, please see Part II, Item 7. *Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—“*Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Operations Review

During the first half of 2026, the Company continued accelerating the development of Lightbridge Fuel™. Operating expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily as a result of the Company's continued investment in engineering, fuel development, manufacturing readiness activities, project development, and organizational infrastructure supporting the long-term development of Lightbridge Fuel™. The Company generated increased interest income from its significantly higher cash balances invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities.

Financial information is included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

The following table presents our operating results and the change in amounts for the periods indicated (in millions):

Table of Contents

Operating Expenses

General and Administrative

General and administrative (G&A) expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for finance personnel, including stock-based compensation, and fees for professional and consulting services. Professional services are principally comprised of legal, audit, strategic advisory services, and outsourced services such as human resources and information technology.

G&A expenses increased by $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was due to:

• a $0.9 million increase in employee compensation and stock-based compensation for employees, contractors, and directors, reflecting new hires, increased bonuses, and several new stock-based awards, including performance stock awards, partially offset by a reversal in the current period of previously recognized stock-based compensation for a performance milestone no longer deemed probable of achievement;
• a $0.2 million increase in other administrative expenses, including insurance, travel, and patent expenses; and
• a $0.1 million increase in professional and consulting services as we continue to grow the business.

Total stock-based compensation included in G&A expenses was $1.0 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The amount for the three months ended June 30, 2026 includes the reversal of $0.5 million of previously recognized stock-based compensation related to a performance milestone under our Tranche-based PSAs that is no longer deemed probable of achievement.

Research and Development

R&D expenses consist primarily of costs associated with our CRADA and SPPA agreements with BEA, IT expenses, employee compensation and related fringe benefits, including stock-based compensation, and other R&D costs for the development of our Lightbridge Fuel™.

The following table presents our total R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in millions):

R&D expenses increased by $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was due to:

• a $1.4 million increase in employee compensation and stock-based compensation, reflecting an increase in new hires, increased employee bonuses, and several new stock-based awards, including performance stock awards, partially offset by a reversal in the current period of previously recognized stock-based compensation for a performance milestone no longer deemed probable of achievement;
• a $0.4 million increase in R&D project development costs related to cladding, critical heat flux testing, safety analysis, and feasibility studies;
• a $0.2 million increase in INL project labor costs, as we entered into additional agreement modifications and new PTSs;
• a $0.2 million increase in IT expenses, which include additional computer hardware, software, and operating expenses related to the Company’s high-performance computer; and
• a $0.2 million increase in other outside R&D expenses.

Table of Contents

Total stock-based compensation included in R&D expenses was $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The amount for the three months ended June 30, 2026 includes the reversal of $0.2 million of previously recognized stock-based compensation related to a performance milestone under our Tranche-based PSAs that is no longer deemed probable of achievement.

We expect to significantly increase our R&D spend as we evaluate a potential site location and work on a conceptual design for any pilot-scale facility or the LEFF and as we continue to hire additional engineers in the near future to focus on fuel fabrication development, irradiation testing programs, and our collaboration with the DOE at INL.

Due to the nature of our R&D expenditures, future costs and schedule estimates are inherently uncertain and can vary significantly as new information and the outcomes of these R&D activities become known. Our future business operations are dependent on budgetary constraints due primarily to market conditions and the uncertainty of future liquidity and capital resources available to us to conduct our future R&D activities.

Interest Income

There was an increase in interest income of $1.3 million due to higher cash balances, which resulted in an increase in interest income earned from the purchase of treasury bills and from our bank savings account for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

Interest Income

There was an increase in interest income of $2.2 million due to higher cash balances, which resulted in an increase in interest income earned from the purchase of treasury bills and from our bank savings account for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Position

Overview – Funding Requirements

We assess our liquidity based on our ability to fund the cash requirements of our R&D activities, G&A expenses, contractual obligations, and other operating needs. Based on our current projected operating expenses and our available cash resources, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing. Our longer-term liquidity will depend on our ability to obtain additional financing, as our existing capital resources are not sufficient to fund our long-term operations, R&D activities, and commercialization efforts. Planned expenditures are expected to include the continued expansion of engineering and technical personnel for research and development activities, manufacturing readiness initiatives, project development activities including establishing a pilot-scale facility, testing and qualification programs, regulatory support activities, and other commercialization-related initiatives. The Company also expects to continue investing in the organizational infrastructure necessary to support these activities as it transitions from a primarily research-focused organization toward manufacturing readiness activities.

Table of Contents

Short-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $237.5 million, as compared to $201.9 million at December 31, 2025, an increase of $35.6 million. We raised net proceeds of $44.4 million from the sale of approximately 3.8 million shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $8.3 million. We do not anticipate any material incoming cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future, and we expect to continue funding our business primarily through our ATM program or other equity offerings.

Long-Term Liquidity and Capital Requirements

Due to the uncertainties inherent in our R&D programs and the broader industry environment, we are unable to reliably estimate our total cash requirements over the full R&D period or beyond the next 12 months. We expect our expenditures to increase over time as we advance the development and potential commercialization of our Lightbridge Fuel™. We expect that significant additional capital will be required over an extended period to advance Lightbridge Fuel™ through development and toward commercial deployment. The amount and timing of future funding needs will depend on technical progress, regulatory requirements, design and construction costs of any pilot-scale facility and the LEFF, partnering arrangements, and the availability of government support. At this stage, we cannot reliably estimate the total funding required to reach commercial deployment. We currently intend to fund these activities through a mix of equity financing, strategic partnerships, and potential government grants or awards, but there can be no assurance that these additional sources of capital will be made available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

The actual amount and timing of future capital requirements will depend on several factors, including:

• The scope, timing, and cost of R&D activities conducted at DOE national laboratories.
• The design and execution of future fuel development programs.
• The design, construction, and operating costs associated with any pilot-scale facility and the LEFF.
• The timing and structure of potential strategic partnerships and collaborations.

There is inherent uncertainty in forecasting future expenditures, and actual costs may vary materially from current estimates.

Sources of Liquidity

Our current primary source of liquidity is proceeds from our ATM equity offerings. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we sold approximately 3.8 million shares of our common stock under our sales agreement with Jefferies LLC, receiving net proceeds (less sales commissions and expenses) of $44.4 million.

We have a $350 million shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-291837). As of June 30, 2026, approximately $96.1 million of our common stock remained available for issuance and sale under the Company’s $150 million at-the-market offering program pursuant to the related prospectus supplement.

Liquidity Outlook and Risks

Although we expect our ATM offerings to remain our primary source of working capital in 2026, there are inherent uncertainties associated with our ability to continue raising capital through an ATM program. These uncertainties include potential declines in our stock price, fluctuations in the trading volume of our common stock, adverse overall stock market conditions, dilution to existing shareholders, or regulatory changes that could limit our access to capital under the current ATM arrangement. Although management believes additional public or private equity investments may be available in the future, adverse market conditions, unfavorable stock price movements, or reduced trading volumes could substantially impair our ability to raise capital when needed.

Contractual and Other Obligations

As noted previously, we have entered into PTSs with BEA, the operating contractor of INL, in collaboration with the DOE, which statements set forth the initial scopes of work and funding commitments under the SPPA and CRADA umbrella agreements. Performance of work under these agreements may be terminated at any time by either party, without any liability, after the effective date of termination, upon 30 days’ written notice under the SPPA and 60 days’ written notice under the CRADA. In the event of termination, the Company shall be responsible for BEA’s costs (including the closeout costs), through the effective date of termination, but in no event shall the Company’s cost responsibility exceed the total estimated cost stated in each PTS and any subsequent modification to the PTS. As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate funding commitment remaining from the Company to BEA, if and when incurred, would not exceed $18.1 million.

Cash Flow

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in millions):

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities increased by $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to increased cash expenditures on R&D and G&A expenses, partially offset by higher interest income, reflecting increased average cash balances following equity financings. The changes in working capital during the six months ended June 30, 2026 included a $1.3 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets and a $1.2 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, resulting in a net working capital change of $(0.1) million. The changes in working capital during the six months ended June 30, 2025 included a $0.2 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets and a $0.8 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, resulting in a net working capital change of $0.6 million.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities decreased by $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a $18.7 million decrease in net proceeds received from the issuance of common stock under our ATM program, a $0.6 million decrease in net proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and a $0.3 million increase in the payment of withholding taxes related to the net share settlement of equity awards.

Net cash provided by our ATM program was $44.4 million from the sale of approximately 3.8 million shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and $63.1 million from the sale of approximately 6.2 million shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
