Founded in 2013 by Jacob and Caroline DeWitte, the company focuses on developing the Aurora powerhouse, a small modular reactor capable of generating between 15 and 75 megawatts of electricity, designed to provide clean, reliable, and affordable energy 24/7 to data centers, industrial sites, communities, and defense facilities. Beyond power generation, Oklo is commercializing nuclear fuel recycling and fabrication technologies that convert used nuclear fuel into usable fuel, addressing waste management and resource efficiency. The company also produces radioisotopes for medical and industrial applications. As of 2026, Oklo employs over 200 people, with a team drawn from Fortune 500 and global companies. Financially, Oklo has a market cap of approximately $8.4 billion, with no dividend and a negative profit margin as of the latest TTM, reflecting its early-stage development; it raised significant capital through its SPAC merger with AltC Acquisition Corp. in May 2024. Key leadership includes CEO and co-founder Jacob DeWitte, with OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman serving as Chairman of the Board. The company has a strategic partnership with Blykalla AB for advanced reactor technology development. Oklo is committed to advancing clean energy and nuclear innovation, aiming to revolutionize the energy landscape with fast fission technology and sustainable fuel cycles.

Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive.

FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine.

Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking.

Jacob Dewitte: Thanks, Sam. I want to start with 2 developments that are expanding the capabilities available to execute advanced nuclear projects in the United States. The first is the U.S. Department of Energy Genesis mission. We see Genesis as a sizable opportunity for Oklo and for the broader nuclear industry. DOE is bringing together its 17 national laboratories, industry, academia, advanced computing infrastructure, experimental facilities, scientific data and artificial intelligence capabilities. In July, DOE announced the first project selections and more than $800 million in mission-wide partner commitments. Prometheus, an INL-led project in which Oklo is participating, was selected for a $60 million Phase I award over 3 years, subject to appropriations. Oklo is participating in multiple projects connected to the Genesis mission. One example is our announced collaboration with NVIDIA and Los Alamos National Laboratory. That work brings together Oklo's reactor and fuel capabilities, NVIDIA's AI infrastructure and Los Alamos' expertise in nuclear fuels and materials. Together, we are working to develop and deploy physics and chemistry-based AI models, digital twins, modeling and simulation tools that can accelerate fuel validation and improve the workflows used to design, deploy and operate nuclear facilities. These are not generic AI applications. They are focused on some of the most …
