On March 31, 2026, Quality Industrial Corp. (the “Company” or “QIND”) released as a press release a document that was intended to contain a press release containing a shareholder letter and selected financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Original Press Release”). A copy of the Original Press Release was furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2026 (the “Original Form 8-K”).

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 (including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 hereto), shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

The Original Press Release, the Approved Press Release, and the statements contained therein include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company’s future financial or operating performance.

Forward-looking statements relating to expectations about future results or events are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this press release and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may vary materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: The risks of major, irreversible disruptions and damage to the Company’s core operations due to the ongoing war among Iran, the United States, Israel, and other belligerents; the Company’s ability to service outstanding debts; the Company’s ability to continue expanding the operations of Al Shola Gas; the ability to secure and execute engineering and liquid petroleum gas (“LPG”) infrastructure projects; fluctuations in demand for LPG infrastructure and distribution services; regulatory approvals and compliance requirements affecting LPG distribution and engineering services; volatility in energy markets and commodity prices; the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing to support operations and growth initiatives; other risks associated with operating internationally, including in the United Arab Emirates and other foreign jurisdictions; and other risks and uncertainties described under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026, and in other filings with the SEC.

*Note: Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is an unaudited non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is presented for informational purposes to illustrate the impact of one-time turnaround costs and legacy write-offs. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) with the following adjustments: (i) the reversal of historical management compensation payments of $1,380,000 representing accrued unpaid salary and bonus obligations paid during fiscal year 2025, (ii) the reversal of settlement payments to certain former officers of the Company totaling $606,816, (iii) the reversal of a non-cash write-off of $2,000,000 related to the reversal of a reserve recorded within other current assets in connection with the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to a certain Share Purchase and Buyback Agreement, dated August 21, 2023, among the Company and the other parties thereto, following a determination that such reserve no longer represented assets from which future economic benefits were probable, (iv) the reversal of a non-cash write-off of $1,500,000 related to a receivable from a former related party based on a reassessment of collectability, and (v) the reversal of $318,706 of non-operational income during the fiscal year 2025 from the release of claims under a Settlement and Release Agreement, dated as of September 2025, between the Company and the other party thereto, and the reversal of $427,554 of non-operational income during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 from non-recurring interest and the sale of certain legacy intangible assets. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The items that were reversed to calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s Adjusted Net Income (Loss) may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) in the same manner. The table above is intended to present a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), as reported.
Turnaround Actions
Governance: Transitioned from a sole Director/Chairman to a three-member Board of Directors (Frederico Figueira de Chaves, John-Paul Backwell, Carsten Kjems Falk).
Legacy Compensation Resolved: Settled nearly two years of accumulated unpaid employee compensation (approximately $1.38 million) and negotiated settlements with former officers (approximately $607,000).
Cost Structure Reset: Reduced QIND-level management costs as Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have agreed to be paid for services to QIND solely by QIND’s parent, Fusion Fuel Green PLC (“Fusion Fuel”).
Balance Sheet Clean-Up: Reduced outstanding convertible note balances from approximately $2.94 million as of December 31, 2024 to approximately $2.56 million as of December 31, 2025. Accounts payable cut 45% from approximately $2.12 million to approximately $1.16 million. Wrote off approximately $3.5 million in legacy assets from which no future economic benefits were probable. The Company reserves the right to pursue recovery actions on written-off balances.
Fusion Fuel Investment: Fusion Fuel provided approximately $4.4 million in capital to QIND during FY 2025, used to cover legacy items, contribute $1 million to required payments under QIND’s purchase agreement with the sellers of its majority-owned subsidiary, Al Shola Al Modea Gas Distribution L.L.C. (“Al Shola Gas”), and invest in fleet expansion and growth.

Outlook
The Company believes it has made substantial progress on its turnaround and is focused on growth as well as continuing efforts to reduce its debt position. In 2026, the Company expects to focus on:
| (1) | Further growth at Al Shola Gas, supported by new trucks entering service, contracted engineering projects, and geographic expansion into the northern emirates. | |
| (2) | Servicing open debt positions. | |
| (3) | Targeting $20 million of revenues for 2026 as the business continues to grow, provided regional disruptions do not extend for a prolonged period. |
Management believes that the Company is substantially stronger coming out of 2025. We believe Al Shola Gas, with over 45 years of operations and deep customer relationships, represents a strong fundamental asset.
Management Commentary
John-Paul Backwell, CEO, stated: “2025 was a year of decisive action. We restructured the Board, settled many legacy obligations, wrote off unrecoverable assets, reduced debt, and reduced recurring management costs at the QIND level — while Al Shola Gas continued to grow revenue and expand into new markets. We are focused on translating operational strength into long-term shareholder value.”
Best regards,
The Board of Directors of Quality Industrial Corp.
