TERREPOWER Solidifies Global Leadership in Sustainable Manufacturing as Multi-Billion Automotive and Industrial Aftermarket Continues to Surge Français
"Traditional remanufacturing extends the life of automotive and industrial parts while TERREPOWER's sustainable manufacturing processes also prioritize responsible sourcing, efficient waste management, a systematic approach to energy use and resource conservation for environmental stewardship," said Duncan Gillis, CEO of TERREPOWER. "Our success reflects both the exceptional value of our components for end users and the benefits of smarter sourcing, which keeps business flowing amidst market uncertainties and supply chain disruptions."
TERREPOWER's scaled sustainable manufacturing process has advantages beyond environmental responsibility. For customers, it fulfills a strategic imperative to ensure operational continuity, economic stability and risk mitigation in a volatile global economy. With the shift from traditional far-shoring to near-shoring and on-shoring, amplified by today's dynamic environment of trade agreements and tariffs, sustainable manufacturing using core components and production close to customers becomes even more desirable.
TERREPOWER boasts an extensive global reach with products sold in 90 countries, supported by a dedicated workforce of more than 10,000 people worldwide. The company is undergoing aggressive expansion propelled by growing demand for high-quality, sustainably manufactured products. The recent appointment of European business unit president, Michael Boe, based in Zug, Switzerland, signals the company's continued dedication to strengthening its capabilities in key markets internationally while maintaining its commitment to carbon neutrality.
"TERREPOWER's commitment to innovation and sustainability, paired with its global growth strategy, makes this an incredible opportunity," said Michael Boe, president of TERREPOWER's European business unit.
Sustainable to the Core
Founded in 1987 as BBB Industries, the company has evolved from its roots as a family-run remanufacturing business in the American South to a global, scaled circular business—a testament to a clear strategic vision that underpins its growth. Earlier this year, the company rebranded to TERREPOWER to demonstrate its profound commitment to innovation and fostering a more efficient, resource-conscious future. Derived from the French word for "earth," "Terre" signifies a dedication to preserving valuable resources, while "Power" reflects the power of the company's value proposition.
At the core of TERREPOWER's value proposition is delivering high-quality, sustainably manufactured aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OEM standards—at a significant cost advantage. Through meticulous remanufacturing of used or worn components to like-new condition, the company's approach effectively breaks the OE quality vs. cost trade-off, offering exceptional value by repurposing "core" materials without incurring the raw material extraction costs or the significant carbon footprint associated with manufacturing entirely new parts.
TERREPOWER's success also reflects a global shift, where industries are increasingly transitioning from a traditional linear "take-make-waste" model to a circular economy paradigm propelled by escalating environmental awareness, regulatory pressures, and the pursuit of operational efficiencies and cost savings across sectors. These financial advantages, coupled with a reduced environmental footprint, enhance product appeal to eco-conscious buyers who are driving increased market demand. This positive feedback loop further incentivizes investment in sustainable infrastructure, accelerating a structural transformation of the market.
Global Growth for the Company and Aftermarket Industry
Remanufacturing is part of the broader aftermarket industry. According to Auto Care Association's most recent Auto Care Factbook, in 2024, total U.S. light-duty automotive aftermarket sales grew by 5.7 percent, reaching $413.7 billion. Sales in 2025 are expected to reach $435 billion. The broader automotive aftermarket (including light, medium, and heavy-duty segments) is forecasted to exceed $664 billion by 2028. This sustained growth, even amidst economic challenges such as inflation, highlights the industry's resilience and the increasing tendency of consumers to keep aging passenger vehicles, which now average over 12.8 years on the road.
Remanufacturing is not limited to the automotive sector. According to the Remanufacturing Industries Council, it serves a wide range of markets from aerospace, automotive and consumer products to heavy duty equipment, information technology, locomotive systems and others. Globally, the industry is also experiencing substantial growth. Key trends driving its growth include increasing acceptance of the remanufacturing value proposition, inflation affecting affordability, aging equipment, decreasing number of traditional service professionals, technical complexity of modern parts, increasing global regulatory emphasis on circularity and sustainability, resource efficiency, and the reduction of carbon emissions. Other trends include a heightened demand for environmentally friendly vehicles from consumers and strong demand among fleet operators for cost-effective, high-quality alternatives to new parts. Micro trends influencing the future of remanufacturing include the accelerating shift to EVs, which presents challenges to traditional automotive parts remanufacturing and unlocks substantial new opportunities, particularly in battery remanufacturing.
Ultimately, inherent cost-effectiveness coupled with their contribution to supply chain resilience positions remanufactured parts as economically compelling alternatives to new production. The appeal to buyers and decision-makers is clear. TERREPOWER serves as a reliable, value-driven and increasingly regional source for critical components. The company's innovative approach makes a compelling business case for sustainable manufacturing, and its success demonstrates that environmental responsibility and robust economic viability are not mutually exclusive but synergistic.
Given the broad array of products that benefit from sustainable manufacturing and opportunities in Europe and other markets internationally, TERREPOWER's growth prospects continue to strengthen. With unwavering commitment to creating long-term value for customers through continuous innovation, TERREPOWER is catalyzing the growth of a circular economy for the automotive and industrial sectors worldwide.
TERREPOWER, formerly BBB Industries, is the largest sustainable manufacturer in the world by volume. Founded in 1987 on a legacy of innovation, TERREPOWER is a global pure-play aftermarket leader specializing in providing high-quality components to the automotive and industrial markets. Based in Daphne, Alabama, TERREPOWER has a dedicated global workforce of over 10,000 employees and an extensive operational footprint throughout North America and Europe, including 19 sustainable manufacturing facilities, 14 distribution centers, and 28 brands with products sold in more than 90 countries, TERREPOWER is committed to strengthening supply chain resilience, reducing waste and advancing the circular economy.

5N Plus Inc. Reports 2025 Second Quarter Financial Results and Increases Annual Guidance
32% year-over-year revenue growth to a ten year-high of $184.2 million for the first half of 2025 Record Q2 2025 Adjusted gross margin 1 of $33.0 million and of 34.6% as a percentage of sales 1 Record Q2 2025 Adjusted EBITDA 1 of $24.1 million, representing 79% year-over-year growth Net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio 1 of 1.09x as at June 30, 2025 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance increased to a range of $65-$70 million, up from $55-$60 million MONTREAL, Aug. 4, 2025 /CNW/ - 5N Plus Inc. (TSX: VNP) ("5N+" or "the Company"), a leading global producer of specialty semiconductors and performance materials, today announced its financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 ("Q2 2025"). All amounts in this press release are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. "Our performance this quarter and year to date marks several new all-time highs for 5N+, including record quarterly Adjusted gross margin, and record quarterly and first-half Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, we generated our strongest first-half revenues in a decade. In a volatile business environment where customers are seeking dependable partners, 5N+ stands out for reliability, technical expertise and product quality, further supported by our diversified global sourcing and manufacturing capabilities which are of strategic importance to our customers," said Gervais Jacques, President and CEO, 5N+. "Building on our record results to date and amid accelerating demand in our strategic sectors, 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for 5N+. Within Specialty Semiconductors, we continue to capitalize on, and to anticipate, further demand momentum from the renewable energy and space power markets, while in Performance Materials our bismuth-based products are delivering exceptional margins," added Mr. Jacques. "As we head into the second half of the year, we are not only well-positioned to deliver on our now increased Adjusted EBITDA guidance ambitions for 2025, but to build on this momentum going into 2026. Thanks to our competitive advantages and expanded capacity, we will continue to solidify our status as the strategic partner of choice outside of China, able to capture growing demand for our high-purity advanced materials in an evolving geopolitical landscape," concluded Mr. Jacques. Financial Highlights Revenue in Q2 2025 increased by 28% to $95.3 million, compared to $74.6 million in Q2 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to higher sales in the terrestrial renewable energy and space solar power sectors under Specialty Semiconductors, and higher bismuth-based product pricing under Performance Materials. Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2025 increased by 79% to $24.1 million, compared to $13.5 million in Q2 2024, driven by higher volumes in the terrestrial renewable energy and space solar power sectors, and better prices over inflation for both solar power and bismuth-based products. Adjusted gross margin increased by 41% to $33.0 million in Q2 2025, favourably impacted by the same factors as above. Adjusted gross margin as a percentage of sales was 34.6% in Q2 2025, compared to 31.3% in Q2 2024. Net earnings in Q2 2025 were $15.2 million, compared to $4.8 million in Q2 2024. Backlog 1 stood at $310.0 million, representing 297 days of annualized revenue as at June 30, 2025, 29 days higher than in the previous quarter. Net debt 1 was $74.3 million as at June 30, 2025, compared to $100.1 million as at December 31, 2024, reflecting an increase in cash. The Company's net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio stood at 1.09x as at June 30, 2025. ______________________________ 1 These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. See Non-IFRS Measures for more information. Outlook Through the second half of 2025, 5N+ anticipates demand under Specialty Semiconductors from the terrestrial renewable energy and space solar power markets to accelerate, as customers look to secure advanced materials from trusted and reliable partners. Under Performance Materials, consistent with historical trends, volumes through the second half of 2025 are expected to be slightly lower than compared to the first half of 2025, with margins continuing to benefit from the Company's strategic global footprint and sourcing capabilities in the current volatile business environment. Based on its financial performance year to date, coupled with anticipated demand under Specialty Semiconductors and better than anticipated performance under Performance Materials, Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2025 has been revised upwards from a range of $55 to $60 million, last updated on February 25, 2025, to a range of $65 to $70 million. Looking ahead, the Company will continue to remain prudent in an evolving geopolitical environment, including with regards to its impact on operating costs. As a preferred supplier of ultra-high-purity, high-quality products with a strong supply chain providing customers with a key strategic advantage, 5N+ is well-positioned to continue solidifying its leadership in key end markets through the end of 2025 and going into 2026.

Bookings represent orders received during the period considered, expressed in number of days, and calculated by adding revenue to the increase or decrease in backlog for the period considered, divided by annualized year revenue. 5N+ uses backlog to provide an indication of expected future revenue in days, and bookings to determine its ability to sustain and increase its revenue. EBITDA means net earnings (loss) before interest expenses, income tax expense (recovery), depreciation and amortization. 5N+ uses EBITDA because it believes it is a meaningful measure of the operating performance of its ongoing business, without the effects of certain expenses. The definition of this non-IFRS measure used by the Company may differ from that used by other companies. EBITDA is reconciled to the most comparable IFRS measure: EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA means operating earnings (loss) as defined before the effect of impairment of inventories, share-based compensation expense (recovery), ERP implementation costs, loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, loss (gain) on remeasurement of financial instrument, impairment (reversal of impairment) of non-current assets, litigation and restructuring costs (income), and depreciation and amortization. 5N+ uses Adjusted EBITDA because it believes it is a meaningful measure of the operating performance of its ongoing business without the effects of certain expenses. The definition of this non-IFRS measure used by the Company may differ from that used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are reconciled to the most comparable IFRS measure: Adjusted gross margin is a measure used to monitor the sales contribution after paying cost of sales, excluding depreciation and inventory impairment charges. 5N+ also expressed this measure in percentage of revenue by dividing the adjusted gross margin value by the total revenue. Adjusted gross margin is reconciled to the most comparable IFRS measure: Net debt is calculated as total debt less cash. Any introduced IFRS 16 reporting measures in reference to lease liabilities are excluded from the calculation. 5N+ uses this measure as an indicator of its overall financial position. The net debt to EBITDA ratio is defined as net debt divided by the trailing 12 months EBITDA. Total debt and Net debt are reconciled to the most comparable IFRS measure: SOURCE 5N Plus Inc.
