Dear Shareholders and Stakeholders,
With this report, we close the third quarter of 2025. As the new CEO of Pryme, I am pleased to share our progress, both in production achievements and in overcoming recent challenges. Pryme continues its journey to become a leader in converting plastic waste into high-quality pyrolysis oil.
At the start of the third quarter, the performance of our plant showed strong improvement, particularly through July, with a clear upward trend in uptime. Across July and August, we achieved a combined production run of 468 tons of pyrolysis oil, reaching a peak output of 130 tons per week at an uptime of 60%. While the overall reaction rate did not fully meet expectations due to scaling inside the reactor, the pyrolysis oil quality improved to agreed specification levels and other key operating parameters were more favorable than assumed for the Pryme plant capacity estimates.
In August, production came to a halt following sealing issues in the reactor. This incident led to an extended downtime that continued through the end of the quarter and into Q4. The repairs required were extensive and introduced new challenges, all of which our team successfully managed. The necessary interventions involved long lead times for both component deliveries and installation. This period, however, was used productively as we carried out comprehensive inspections of the drivetrain of the reactor and other systems to strengthen reliability. The reactor was also fully cleaned of scaling, preparing it for a fresh start of the upcoming process optimization tests. Additionally, the idle time was used to implement several planned plant upgrades originally scheduled for later, reducing the need for planned downtime in Q4.
Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we will conduct the planned optimization tests and address key bottlenecks — particularly those affecting the reactor's reaction rate. At the same time, we remain focused on improving reliability, oil quality, and feedstock flexibility.
This has been a challenging period, yet the resilience of our team has proven that we can turn adversity into progress. Each obstacle has strengthened our capabilities and our confidence in Pryme's long-term potential.
Thank you for your continued trust in Pryme. We remain fully committed to executing our long-term vision and leveraging the insights gained from Pryme One to enhance future plant design and engineering.
Sincerely,
Guus Lemmers CEO
Production amounted to 468 tons of pyrolysis oil during Q3, 2025.
During the month of July 2025, Pryme produced 402 metric tons of pyrolysis oil. The production ran continuously from the beginning of the month until July 25th, when staffing issues caused a halt for the weekend. On Monday July 28th, inspection revealed the need to replace the seals in the reactor stuffing box.
The July production volume represents a record monthly production volume for Pryme largely driven by the record long continuous production. The July production run demonstrated significant improvements in the reliability of the plant. As the production figures remained significantly lower than the previously estimated production capacity of the plant, focus was put to identifying solutions to debottleneck certain processes to increase the hourly production while maintaining the high uptime achieved in July.
During August 2025, after restarting the plant, Pryme produced 66 metric tons of pyrolysis oil. The August 2025 production was halted, and the production volume remained below expectations due to a series of repairs on the reactor sealing system, heating circuits, and insulation.
In September, Pryme suffered continued and additional delays in the repair of the reactor's sealing system and therefore no additional pyrolysis oil was produced during the reporting period.
In Q3 2025 (rounded) 548 tons of pyrolysis oil were sold and delivered at an average price of € 1,425 per ton.
The pricing agreed upon in the sales contract with Pryme's main customer depends on the quality level of the pyrolysis oil.
Pryme aims to source mixed plastic waste - primarily composed of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) - from a diverse range of suppliers. In Q2, a new feedstock was successfully tested and was successfully used in Q3 reaching product quality that met agreed specifications. Another feedstock is added to the test program and will be tested in Q4. Pryme will diversify its feedstock sources to evaluate the impact on yield and oil quality, strengthen supply resilience, and reduce procurement costs.
As mentioned in the Company's latest trading update on October 20th, 2025, Pryme has renegotiated its main sales contract. These negotiations were completed during the reporting period. The key elements that have been amended in the Company's favour are on pyrolysis oil pricing and quality specifications.
As mentioned in the trading update of October 20th , 2025, Pryme's cash balance amounted to around € 4.7 million at the end of the reporting period. The cash burn rate in Q3 was around € 4.6 million. The expected cash burn rates in Q4, 2025 and Q1, 2026 amount to € 3.3 million, respectively € 4.3 million. Pryme requires additional funding of around € 5-6 million for the period until the end of Q1, 2026. The Company is currently in the process of seeking additional funding as per the indicated amounts and timeline.
Safety is Pryme's top priority operating in a hazardous petrochemical environment. The emphasis in Q3 on maintenance and repair required specific attention for safety when executing one-off type of activities. In Q3 2025 there were no Lost Time Injuries (LTIs). In August 2025, Pryme faced one Medical Treatment Incident (MTI) related to not correctly following working procedures during a repair in a constraint working area.
Apart from the MTI, two incidents occurred involving a loss of containment (LoC) in the tank storage area and during the loading of a truck. The spills could be restricted and have been removed.
Pryme has updated its emissions measurement plan regarding odor and wastewater to align with recent process changes. As part of ongoing process improvements, operational adjustments led to the creation of a new wastewater stream. In collaboration with the relevant authorities and the industrial wastewater treatment facility, Pryme has planned extensive testing of these streams to ensure compliance and uphold environmental responsibility. Testing continued during the reporting period and was halted caused by the production shutdown in August 2025. Testing will continue in Q4.
Operational insight continues to improve through close monitoring of the plant's mass balance. The data collected will serve as a key input for the upcoming Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). Unfortunately, the LCA had to be postponed awaiting the availability of data from stable production conditions at close to full capacity levels.
Guus Lemmers assumed the role as CEO assigned with the management tasks and responsibilities of the Company's management board on a permanent basis as of September 3rd , 2025, succeeding Benoît Morelle who acted as the Company's CEO on a temporary basis since March 8th, 2025.
Two vacancies were filled during the reporting period in Pryme One operations to man the 5-shift production scheme that was reinstated in June 2025.
Having established an employee representative body pursuant to the Dutch Works Councils Act (in Dutch: a "Personeelsvertegenwoordiging" and abbreviated "PVT") in Q2, 2025, the Company held its first consultation meeting with the PVT during the reporting period.
Pryme scheduled Code of Conduct compliance refresher trainings to all staff, held in October 2025.
Pryme's R&D team continued to leverage its lab-scale analytical equipment and pyrolysis plant as an efficient, cost-effective, and rapid means of supporting the Company's operations. Key activities included:
Consistent with previous communications, the efforts on site selection for Pryme Two have been kept limited. Some evaluation activities continued, primarily related to assessing the feasibility of a site in the Rotterdam area.
Site selection efforts will be continued towards the 1 st quarter of 2026.
Pryme consolidated its Dutch office locations as of November 1st, 2025. The Company's new office address is Theemsweg 5, third floor, 3197 KM Botlek Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Pryme's new telephone number is +31 10 2092990.
In the fourth quarter of 2025 and continuing into the first quarter of 2026, Pryme's main objective is to conduct a series of production and optimization tests aimed at evaluating technical solutions to debottleneck the reactor and further improve process performance. These tests will complete several initiatives launched in earlier quarters, including the optimization of mixing speed and related process parameters.
All tests are carefully sequenced to ensure that the effects of individual parameter changes can be clearly identified and measured. As such, simultaneous multi-parameter testing will be limited. Maintaining plant reliability and uptime remains a guiding principle throughout the testing program. Testing will only proceed once the sealing system has demonstrated consistent reliability. Pryme is working closely with the reactor manufacturer to ensure sealing system stability, enhance heating control and to further improve reactor performance.
Parallel efforts to enhance oil quality will continue. Later in the optimization phase, new feedstock types will be tested to assess their impact on yield and oil quality. The partial recycle system, installed in Q2, is included in the test program in Q4 2025.
Improving overall equipment reliability remains a top priority, with continued focus on the reactor and sealing systems. Maintenance performance will be strengthened through the implementation of a preventive maintenance program and a robust spare parts strategy for the reactor.
Once Pryme One has delivered sufficient quantitative and qualitative production data, the Company will update the basis of design for Pryme Two and appoint an engineering contractor to begin basic engineering, targeted for Q1 2026, alongside the site selection process initiated in 2024.
Following the detailed test and production plan, the production forecast for Q4 has been set to 600 mT of pyrolysis oil as communicated in the Company's trading update of October 20th, 2025. Some uncertainty remains, as key tests — such as those involving higher reactor fill levels and agitator mixing speed adjustments — are pending and may unlock higher output, if successful. Conversely, potential unplanned breakdowns are not included in the current forecast. Additionally, a temporary shutdown may be required to implement and validate reactor debottlenecking measures. Once these improvements are proven and stable operations are established, Pryme expects to achieve significantly higher production levels.
