SANDNES, Norway, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Desert Control AS (DSRT) announces its second-quarter report and interim financial results for the fiscal period ending 30 June 2025.

Desert Control made operational and commercial progress in the second quarter of 2025, expanding deployments and trial programs in the U.S. across permanent crop agriculture, golf, and ornamental landscaping, while advancing key partnerships and projects in the Middle East. Notable developments included new applications with commercial growers, universities, and golf courses in California and Arizona, as well as continued integration of Liquid Natural Clay ('LNC") in landscaping and urban greening initiatives with our licensing partners.

Operational Highlights:

   -- Application of over 4.5 million litres of LNC at Woodland Hills Country 
      Club, marking our first full golf course deployment 
 
   -- Our partner, Saudi Desert Control, deploys first commercial sale at Atlas 
      Turf Arabia, the Middle East's first internationally licensed golf and 
      sports turf farm, applying LNC to 3.7 hectares of turf farm. 
 
   -- Pilot application at Tempe Marketplace, marking our first application 
      with a large owner of commercial real estate. 
 
   -- Encouraging improvement in cantaloupe and broccoli yields in certain 
      sections of trials at the University of Arizona Maricopa Agricultural 
      Center. 

Financial Highlights:

In the first half of 2025, Desert Control advanced key operational initiatives in the U.S. and Middle East, laying the foundation for stronger revenue contributions in the second half of the year. The Company maintained stable operational performance despite the timing of revenue recognition under major contracts, while continuing to invest in strategic projects, product development, and commercial capacity.

   -- Revenue Outlook: Revenue for the quarter reflects the timing of 
      recognition under the U.S. PAYS contract, where measurable customer water 
      savings trigger revenue. Significant application work completed in Q2 is 
      expected to contribute to revenue in Q3 and beyond. 
 
   -- EBITDA Performance: EBITDA remained stable quarter-over-quarter and 
      year-to-date, with disciplined cost control and operational efficiencies 
      offsetting higher activity levels in the U.S. 
 
   -- Equity: Equity totalled NOK 43.71 million at quarter-end, providing 
      headroom for operations but reflecting a reduced buffer following 
      continued losses. 
 
   -- Cash Position: NOK 24.84 million in cash and cash equivalents as of 30 
      June 2025, reflecting strategic investments in product development, 
      commercial initiatives, and team capacity to support growth. 
 
   -- Funding Horizon: Current cash resources are expected to support 
      operations into Q4 2025, excluding any future revenues. 

As a result, the Board is actively evaluating funding alternatives to secure additional resources. This may include potential equity financing, grants, license agreements and cost optimization measures to extend the financial runway and enable execution of the long-term growth plan. In conjunction with these evaluations the Board may also assess other strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value.
