PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enviri Corporation (NYSE: NVRI) (the "Company") today reported second quarter 2026 results. On a GAAP basis, the second quarter of 2026 diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $10.70, including expenses related to the sale of Clean Earth and spin-off of Harsco Environmental and Harsco Rail, adjustments related to the termination of certain Harsco Rail contracts, and restructuring costs. Adjusted diluted loss per share from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2026 was $0.63. These figures compare with a second quarter 2025 GAAP diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $1.70, which included contract adjustments in Harsco Rail, an asset impairment and site exit costs in Harsco Environmental, and strategic expenses, and an adjusted diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.84.

The GAAP consolidated loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2026 was $297 million, while Adjusted EBITDA excluding unusual items totaled $34 million in the quarter.

"During the second quarter, our team executed well, with Harsco Environmental and Rail each delivering results above the high end of our guidance ranges while end-markets have remained subdued,” said Enviri President and CEO Russell Hochman.

"In addition, we took meaningful action to advance our strategic priorities that improve our financial profile and earnings potential while strengthening Enviri’s position as a leader in our markets. These actions include the strategic decision to exit two European Rail ETO contracts, removing a source of business uncertainty and financial volatility, including cash flows related to performance under these contracts. We also concluded the initial stage of our comprehensive business review, aimed at reducing our business complexity and driving operational excellence, and we have recently begun implementing broad restructuring actions across the Company. Lastly, we are reaffirming our 2026 outlook and will continue to prioritize initiatives that will drive sustainable value creation for shareholders."

Consolidated Second Quarter Operating Results
Consolidated revenues from continuing operations were $187 million. Harsco Environmental realized an increase in revenues compared with the second quarter of 2025, while revenues for Harsco Rail were essentially unchanged year-on-year when excluding the contract exit impacts on revenues.

The Company's GAAP consolidated loss from continuing operations was $297 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared with a GAAP consolidated loss of $45 million in the same quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, Adjusted EBITDA totaled $34 million in the second quarter of 2026 versus $27 million in the second quarter of the prior year.

Second Quarter Business Review

Harsco Environmental

Harsco Environmental revenues totaled $266 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 3% compared with the prior-year quarter. This revenue increase is attributable to higher volumes (services and ecoproducts) and higher services pricing. The segment's GAAP operating income was $13 million, and Adjusted EBITDA totaled $46 million in the second quarter of 2026. These figures compare with GAAP operating income of $4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $40 million in the prior-year period. The year-on-year change in adjusted earnings reflects the above-mentioned factors as well as internal improvement actions. As a result, Harsco Environmental's Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 17.2% in the second quarter of 2026 versus 15.5% in the comparable quarter of 2025.

Harsco Rail

Harsco Rail revenues in the second quarter of 2026 totaled $(79) million. Excluding the adjustments resulting from the contract exits, revenues were $58 million, or unchanged year-over-year, as higher aftermarket volumes were offset by lower equipment and contracted services revenues. The segment's GAAP operating loss was $221 million, and Adjusted EBITDA loss was $5 million in the second quarter of 2026. These figures compare with a GAAP operating loss of $20 million and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $3 million in the prior-year period. The year-on-year change in adjusted earnings is attributable to the above factors as well as a change in business mix.

Cash Flow
Net cash used by operating activities was $297 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $22 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted free cash flow was $(9) million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with $(39) million in the prior-year period (excluding Clean Earth and any transaction-related expenditures, which include the repayment of the Company's accounts receivable securitization facility). The change in adjusted free cash flow compared with the prior-year quarter is attributable to higher cash earnings (adjusted for unusual items), working capital improvements, and lower net capital expenditures in Harsco Environmental and Rail.

2026 Outlook
The Company is reaffirming its 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance for Harsco Environmental and Harsco Rail, with key business drivers as follows:

Harsco Environmental Adjusted EBITDA of $170 million to $180 million, which is modestly above prior-year results at the mid-point of the range. Higher services and products demand, along with new sites and improvement initiatives, are expected to be offset by site exits and certain 2025 items that are not anticipated to repeat in 2026 (such as the recovery of certain sales tax expenses in Brazil).

Harsco Rail Adjusted EBITDA of $(26) million to $(19) million, which is below 2025 as a result of lower standard equipment and contracted services demand and related manufacturing inefficiencies, partially offset by cost-out activities and benefits.

Non-GAAP Measures
Measurements of financial performance not calculated in accordance with GAAP should be considered as supplements to, and not substitutes for, performance measurements calculated or derived in accordance with GAAP. Any such measures are not necessarily comparable to other similarly-titled measurements employed by other companies. The most comparable GAAP measures are included within the definitions below and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release.

Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations: Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure and consists of diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations adjusted for unusual items and acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense. It is important to note that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and that intangible asset amortization related to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. The Company’s management believes Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations is useful to investors because it provides an overall understanding of the Company’s historical and future prospects. Exclusion of unusual items permits evaluation and comparison of results for the Company’s core business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses the Company’s performance. Exclusion of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense, the amount of which can vary by the timing, size, and nature of the Company’s acquisitions, facilitates more consistent internal comparisons of operating results over time between the Company’s newly acquired and long-held businesses, and comparisons with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and consists of income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted to add back income tax expense; equity income of unconsolidated entities, net; net interest expense; defined benefit pension income (expense); facility fees and debt-related income (expense); stock-based compensation expense; and depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs); and excludes unusual items. Segment Adjusted EBITDA consists of operating income from continuing operations adjusted to exclude unusual items and add back depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs). The sum of the Segments’ Adjusted EBITDA and Corporate Adjusted EBITDA (which is adjusted for all stock-based compensation expense) equals consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. The Company‘s management believes Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to investors because management reviews Adjusted EBITDA in assessing and evaluating performance.

Adjusted free cash flow: Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and consists of net cash provided (used) by operating activities less capital expenditures and expenditures for intangible assets; and plus capital expenditures for strategic ventures, total proceeds from sales of assets and certain transaction-related / debt-refinancing expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow also excludes the impact of the Clean Earth business. The Company's management believes that Adjusted free cash flow is important to management and useful to investors as a supplemental measure as it indicates the cash flow available for working capital needs, repay debt obligations, invest in future growth through new business development activities, conduct strategic acquisitions or other uses of cash. It is important to note that Adjusted free cash flow does not represent the total residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements and settlements of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, are not deducted from this measure. This presentation provides a basis for comparison of ongoing operations and prospects.
