EBITDA Return to growth & profitability; achieved adjusted EBITDA* of $7M for FY 2015 *Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before R&D costs related to the Medical Isotope project in 2014, and impairment loss on goodwill and cost in excess of revenue and amortization of acquired contracts in the applicable periods. 10
NASDAQ: PESI Q3 2016 Financial Results & Guidance • Revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $12.9 million versus $17.3 million for the same period last year – Revenue for the Treatment Segment was $7.6 million compared to $10.9 million for the same period in 2015 due to lower waste volume – Revenue from the Services Segment was $5.3 million versus $6.4 million for the same period in 2015 • Achieved Adjusted EBITDA $152,000 despite continued delays of waste shipments within the Treatment Segment • Anticipate improvement in revenue and cash flow in Q4 and 2017 as waste that was delayed has begun to ship • Continue to look at all aspects of the business from a cost standpoint – Proceeding with the planned shutdown of M&EC facility, which should save an estimated $2 to $3 million annually – Currently anticipate adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2016 of $1M million *Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before R&D costs related to the Medical Isotope project in 2014, and impairment loss on goodwill and cost in excess of revenue and amortization of acquired contracts in the applicable periods. 11
Perma-Fix Medical S.A. (PFM) 12
WSE: PFM Business Summary Disruptive technology to produce the most commonly used medical isotope in the world – Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) Leading institutions in North America & Europe have validated the process Strong intellectual property portfolio 40% of current N.A. supply chain for Tc-99m will be eliminated in 2016 Highly scalable business model leveraging strategic partners 13
WSE: PFM Isotope Market Overview • Tc-99m is the most widely used medical isotope in the world – Allows medical practitioners to image internal body organs – Used in 80%-85% of the 25M diagnostic nuclear medical procedures each year – Common procedures include: • cardiac imaging gastrointestinal issues • cancer detection bone scans Imaging of the brain, kidney, spleen and infections • The radioisotope market in Europe alone is expected to reach $1.6B in 2017, up from $1.1B in 2012 – Nearly all of the world's supply comes from the thermal fission of highly enriched uranium (HEU) targets in a small number of highly specialized reactors – Current process is costly and unreliable; raises serious proliferation concerns 14
WSE: PFM Supply Chain Elimination – A Perfect Storm • Beginning in 2016, the National Research Universal (NRU) reactor in Canada will no longer receive government funding for isotope production – 40% of the supply of Tc-99m in North America derived from this one reactor (referred to as the Chalk River Reactor) • The OSIRIS reactor in France is also scheduled to close in 2018 • Without an alternative source of Tc-99m, these planned shut downs will put billions of USD in medical procedures at risk Chalk River, ON 15
WSE: PFM Isotope Production • Completed initial development of new process to produce Tc-99m for medical diagnostic tests Expected to solve worldwide shortages of Tc-99m Far less expensive process Does not require the use of government-subsidized, weapons-grade materials Designed to improve safety and security of radioactive materials • Process encompasses full production cycle: reactor to final medical supply Easily deployed worldwide using standard research and commercial reactors Eliminates the need for special purpose reactors Stabilizes the worldwide supply of Tc-99m by decentralizing production 16
