Statement by Olivier Mussat, CEO:
"ATOME has made considerable progress in the first six months of the year as stated here and as referred to in the Current Trading section of the market announcement of our 2024 full year results which was issued 2 months ago.
"The Villeta project is expected be the largest low-carbon fertiliser production facility in the world when it comes on stream. With news of signing the definitive offtake agreement with Yara, constitution of the Project equity club and of the multilateral lenders in the Project Financing expected in the coming weeks, we will then be well set to navigate our course for FID and commencement of construction by the end of the year.
"With a growing pipeline of potential projects, including relating to ATOME POWER, once Villeta is under construction, our Company will be uniquely positioned to expand its platform and exploit the benefit of its position, know-how, developed engineering and design, management expertise and commercial offtake experience to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. With an exciting rest of the year in prospect and the culmination of what we have been working towards for the last 3 years we view the outlook for ATOME with growing confidence.
"We wish to express our thanks and appreciation to the Paraguay government and authorities for their continued support for our projects. We are grateful to stakeholders, projected partners and our colleagues for their hard work and loyalty in pursuit of the Company's objectives.
"The team has been very busy over the summer and Shareholders can now expect an increasing flow of market announcements as we move to the final phases towards FID."

About ATOME
ATOME PLC is an AIM-listed company targeting green fertiliser production with 445-megawatt of projects in Paraguay and a further pipeline of potential projects in Central America. ATOME has now created its ATOME POWER division which is in the early stages of developing a significant green power generation and infrastructure business. ATOME's projects are situated at the heart of one of the world's largest food export hubs - the Mercosur region in the Southern Cone of South America with the Argentinian and Brazilian markets next door. ATOME's production will disrupt the region's heavy dependence on imported fossil fuel generated fertilizer, contributing to regional food security goals.
ATOME's first project in Villeta, Paraguay, benefits from a 145MW renewable power purchase agreement and 43 hectares of land in a tax-free zone. Front End Engineering Design studies have been completed and the Definitive Offtake Agreement signed with Yara International, the leading international fertiliser company, for offtake of all of Villeta's green fertiliser production. In early 2025, ATOME announced Hy24, the leading clean hydrogen asset manager, as anchor and lead equity investor in the project, and confirmed the signing of the US$465 million fixed-price EPC contract with leading ammonia and fertiliser engineering specialist Casale S.A. The Company is now negotiating the project finance with a view to commencing work in 2025. There is a further up to 300MW of renewable power reserved for ATOME in Paraguay.
In Costa Rica, The National Ammonia Corporation S.A. was formed in 2022 with local partner Cavendish S.A. based in Costa Rica to develop green fertiliser projects for the region. As well as straddling the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, Costa Rica is a democratic Central American country. In agriculture, Costa Rica is the second largest supplier of pineapples in the world and is in the top ten banana growers.
All power for ATOME is from 100% renewable sources and all chosen sites are located close to the power and water sources and export facilities to serve significant domestic and then international demand. Approximately a third of human-caused GHG emissions is linked to food production according to UN data, and fertiliser use and production is the source of more emissions than the shipping and aviation industries combined. ATOME's green Calcium Ammonium Nitrate product will contribute to decarbonising the food sector from the bottom up, getting to the root of the food value chain's emissions. ATOME's renewably-generated fertiliser is both clean and promotes high crop yields, unlike conventional nitrogen fertiliser which has a heavy carbon footprint.
The Company has a green-focused Board which is supported by major shareholders including Peter Levine, Schroders, a leading fund manager, and Baker Hughes, a global technology company operating in the energy and industry sectors.

The condensed financial statements present the half-year results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 for ATOME PLC, a low carbon fertiliser project development company listed on AIM, with large-scale projects in South and Central America concentrating on energy and food security.
Operating loss attributable to the Group's equity holders was in line with expectations and totalled US$2.5 million (US$2.4 million and US$6.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 and for the year ended 31 December 2024, respectively). As the Villeta project has advanced, other directly attributable costs totalling cumulatively US$6.6 million were capitalised as at 30 June 2025 (US$6.2 million as at 30 June 2024 and US$6.4 million as at 31 December 2024).

Notes to the Financial Statements
Six months ended 30 June 2025
1. Nature of operations and general information
ATOME PLC (the Company) is a public company limited by shares and incorporated in England in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006. The address of the Company's registered office is Carrwood Park, Selby Road, Leeds, LS15 4LG. The Company's and its subsidiaries' (the Group) operations and principal activities include planning, development and execution of the projects to produce low carbon fertiliser using renewable energy. The Company is quoted on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (ticker: ATOM), and is headquartered in Leeds, UK, with offices in Asunción, Paraguay and Costa Rica.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the interim financial statements) have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 August 2025. The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2024 was neither audited nor reviewed by the auditor. The Group's audited statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified, did not include a reference to matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis except for potential material uncertainty that may arise around the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
2. Basis of preparation
The interim financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standards.
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for any derivative financial instruments which have been measured at fair value. The accounting policies adopted in the 2025 interim financial statements are the same as those adopted in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, as included in the 2024 Annual report, and which are expected to be adopted in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
