PureCycle reported a challenging third quarter marked by operational disruptions and a significant regulatory setback in New Jersey. Revenue fell to $2.3 million, well below the expected $8.28 million, as an extension of New Jersey's food-contact exemption delayed approximately 50 million pounds of expected annual volume. Despite these headwinds, the company achieved a non-cash net income of $6.9 million due to warrant fair value adjustments and reduced its monthly operational spending to $7.8 million.
