NanoXplore Reports Results for its Q3-2025

MONTREAL, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NanoXplore Inc. ('NanoXplore' or 'the Corporation') (TSX: GRA and OTCQX: NNXPF), a world-leading graphene company, reported today financial results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2025.
All amounts in this press release are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.
Key Financial Highlights Q3-2025
Overview
Pedro Azevedo, Chief Financial Officer, stated: 'Despite slower sales than anticipated in Q3, I'm pleased with the improvements in our adjusted EBITDA and in the underlying business development. We've been working closely with new customers on graphene powder sales and expect commercialization very soon. In addition, startup of new programs that were delayed by our customers will soon start production as well as new awards at our new Statesville, North Carolina facility. While Q4 activity remains low for our biggest customers, we see stronger activity in the beginning of the new fiscal year.'
Soroush Nazarpour, President & Chief Executive Officer, stated: 'Our third quarter results demonstrate our ability to adapt to a rapidly evolving macroeconomic environment. While sales volumes were lower than anticipated, we are actively working on improving our operational efficiency. We remain focused on creating long-term value for all stakeholders and are encouraged by the progress made with our partners in two key growth areas for our graphene products: oil and gas drilling fluids, and insulation foam. These segments represent significant growth drivers for NanoXplore. Our U.S. expansion is progressing well and is especially timely given the changing tariff landscape. Overall, I'm pleased with our performance this quarter, particularly given the ongoing economic uncertainty.'
* Non-IFRS Measures
The Corporation prepares its financial statements under IFRS. However, the Corporation considers certain non-IFRS financial measures as useful additional information in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Corporation. These measures, which the Corporation believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Corporation's performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures include 'Adjusted EBITDA' and 'Adjusted gross margin'.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of IFRS 'Loss' to Non-IFRS 'Adjusted EBITDA' and of IFRS 'Gross margin' to Non-IFRS 'Adjusted Gross margin' for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
IFRS 'Loss' to Non-IFRS 'Adjusted EBITDA'

Edible Garden Delivers Strong Performance Across Core and Key Segments, Driven by Strategic Portfolio Transformation

Company exits low-margin product lines, invests in higher-margin, innovative CEA-informed, better-for-you shelf-stable products, and expands global reach Conference Call to Be Held Today at 8:00 am ET. BELVIDERE, N.J., Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Edible Garden AG Incorporated ('Edible Garden' or the 'Company') (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown, organic, better-for-you, sustainable produce and products, today reported strong core business performance for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and shared a strategic business update. This performance reflects the Company's disciplined portfolio optimization strategy following a recent acquisition, which involved eliminating underperforming, low-margin product lines and making targeted investments in higher-margin, innovative, CEA-informed, better-for-you consumer packaged goods. These strategic initiatives position the Company to strengthen its leadership in shelf-stable, wellness-focused products that align with growing consumer demand for quality, functionality, and sustainability. Financial & Operating Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Non-perishable unit sales increased approximately 17% year-over-year, driven by strong performance across the Company's shelf-stable product lines including Kick. Sports Nutrition, Pickle Party™, Pulp®, and Vitamin Whey®. Private Label products sold through major big box retailers outperformed in the second quarter, climbing 19.1% year-over-year Hydroponic Basil up 7.1%, Potted Herbs up 6.4%, and Wheatgrass up 4.1% International vitamin and supplements revenue rose 66.5% versus year-over-year 'Our results this quarter validate the disciplined choices we've made to focus on higher-margin, innovation-driven categories that align with where the market is headed,' said Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden. 'By exiting underperforming, low-margin product lines and investing in CEA-informed, better-for-you shelf-stable products, we are building a stronger, more resilient portfolio. We believe this strategy will not only drive profitability but also position us to lead in delivering sustainable, wellness-oriented solutions to consumers worldwide.' "Private Label products sold through major big box retailers outperformed in the second quarter, climbing 19.1% year-over-year, driven by expanded programs and strong sell-through of our sustainably grown, CEA-produced herbs. This momentum carried into our produce category, led by Hydroponic Basil up 7.1%, Potted Herbs up 6.4%, and Wheatgrass up 4.1%. We also advanced our strategic priorities in innovation, brand expansion, and operational sustainability with the launch of Kick Sports Nutrition on Amazon, continued retail growth of Pickle Party™, and the debut of the industry's first USDA Certified Organic Hydroponic Basil. Together with strong gains in our non-perishable lines, these achievements further diversify our portfolio and reinforce Edible Garden's leadership in controlled environment agriculture. In addition, international vitamin and supplements revenue rose 66.5% as we forged new distribution partnerships and expanded retail placements in key markets." 'We also strengthened our operational capabilities this quarter with the acquisition of the NaturalShrimp aquaculture facility in Iowa, now operating as Edible Garden Prairie Hills. This addition enhances our R&D in aquaponics, brings patented water treatment technologies into our IP portfolio, improves distribution efficiency potential from its central Midwest location, and provides the capacity to scale future production and launch new product lines—all of which will position us for greater innovation, efficiency, and long-term growth.' "In the second quarter, we advanced our strategic priorities across innovation, brand expansion, and operational sustainability, delivering strong performance in both our non-perishable and fresh produce categories. This category posted unit growth, fueled by the launch of our Kick Sports Nutrition line on Amazon, which expanded our digital marketing reach, drove higher direct-to-consumer engagement, and contributed to a surge in e-commerce sales." Demand for better-for-you CPG products is rising, with the global functional food and beverage market expected to grow from $400 billion to $610 billion by 2030 (Virtue Market Research). In the U.S., natural, organic, and functional product sales are projected to reach $386 billion by 2028, growing about 5% annually (Nutrition Business Journal). The Company believes that its differentiated brand portfolio is well-positioned to benefit from these long-term was $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the Company's strategic exit from the floral and lettuce categories, which contributed $741,000 to the decline. While the Company has not yet fully offset the lost revenue from floral, that category had high costs and low returns and did not align with the Company's better-margin strategy. Gross profit totaled $634,000, compared to $1.56 million in Q2 2024. The year-over-year change reflects shifts in product mix and sales volume, along with higher labor and raw material costs. Non-perishable revenue increased approximately 15% year-over-year, driven by strong performance across the Company's shelf-stable product lines including Kick. Sports Nutrition, Pickle Party™, Pulp®, and Vitamin Whey®. Margin pressure was also influenced by continued investment in infrastructure and personnel needed to support the Company's transition and future scalability. Selling, general and administrative expenses ('SG&A') totaled $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.7 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by legal costs related to the NaturalShrimp asset acquisition, expenses associated with the Narayan transaction, and franchise tax charges. Net loss was $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The year-over-year increase in net loss was primarily driven by higher SG&A expenses related to strategic transactions and a decline in revenue from the planned exit of low-margin product categories. The complete financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, are available in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at: Conference Call Edible Garden will host a conference call today at 8:00 A.M.

Oil Steadies Near Two-Month Low as IEA Warns of Record Glut

(Bloomberg) -- Oil steadied near a two-month low after the International Energy Agency said the market is on track for record oversupply next year. Brent traded below $66 a barrel, after closing at its lowest since June 5 on Wednesday, while West Texas Intermediate was around $63. The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider Sunseeking Germans Face Swiss Backlash Over Alpine Holiday Congestion To Head Off Severe Storm Surges, Nova Scotia Invests in 'Living Shorelines' Five Years After Black Lives Matter, Brussels' Colonial Statues Remain For Homeless Cyclists, Bikes Bring an Escape From the Streets Gloomy predictions from both the IEA and the US government this week come as supplies from both within and outside OPEC+ are expected to rise into the fourth quarter. Brent's nearest timespread — a guage of market health — is trading at its weakest level since May. Against that backdrop, traders are monitoring the lead-up to Friday's summit between the US and Russian presidents, given that it may result in an easing or tightening of Washington's sanctions on the OPEC+ member. Donald Trump warned he would impose 'very severe consequences' if Vladimir Putin didn't agree to a ceasefire, following a call with European leaders. Oil has lost more than 10% this year as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its partners complete the reversal of output curbs started in 2023, though price moves have been limited in recent days as trading activity eases over the summer months in the northern hemisphere.

(Palvella or 'the Company'), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel therapies to treat patients suffering from serious, rare genetic skin diseases for which there are no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved therapies, reported financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2025 and provided a corporate update. 'In the second quarter of 2025, we continued to advance Palvella's mission of pioneering first-in-disease therapies for individuals with serious, rare genetic skin diseases,' said Wes Kaupinen, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Palvella. 'We remain on track for two near-term data readouts for QTORIN™ rapamycin, including our Phase 3 SELVA study in microcystic LMs which we believe will support a New Drug Application submission in 2026. In parallel, we are preparing to announce two new development programs in 2025, further expanding our rare disease pipeline. With strong momentum and a solid financial foundation, Palvella is well-positioned for continued growth and execution on our vision.' Recent Research and Development Highlights QTORIN™ rapamycin for the treatment of microcystic lymphatic malformations (microcystic LMs) Completed enrollment in the Phase 3 SELVA trial, a single-arm, baseline-controlled clinical trial of QTORIN™ rapamycin for the treatment of microcystic LMs; trial enrolled 51 subjects, exceeding its original target of 40 subjects by over 25%. The Company received initial proceeds from an FDA Orphan Products Grant which could total up to $2.6 million to support the Phase 3 SELVA trial. The FDA Orphan Products Grants Program provides non-dilutive funding to advance the development of promising therapies for rare diseases. Key presentations and posters featured at major scientific meetings included: Oral presentation highlighting QTORIN™ rapamycin for the treatment of microcystic LMs was presented by Amy Paller, M.S., M.D., Chair of Dermatology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, at the 15th World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology; the presentation highlighted the Phase 3 SELVA trial design and reviewed Phase 2 results. Poster highlighting the estimated diagnosed U.S. prevalence and U.S. annual incidence of lymphatic malformations was presented at the 82nd Annual Meeting of the Society for Investigative Dermatology. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued patent No. 12,268,673 with claims to QTORIN™ rapamycin for the treatment of microcystic LMs with anticipated patent life extending into 2038. Top-line results from SELVA are on track for the first quarter of 2026. QTORIN™ rapamycin for the treatment of cutaneous venous malformations (cutaneous VMs) Continued execution of ongoing Phase 2 TOIVA trial, a single-arm, open-label, baseline-controlled clinical trial evaluating QTORIN™ rapamycin for the treatment of cutaneous VMs. Enrollment is ongoing, targeting approximately 15 subjects. The Company, in collaboration with key opinion leaders in treating venous malformations, completed a nationally representative, blinded, real-world observational study estimating the U.S. annual prevalence of cutaneous VMs, with findings submitted to a peer reviewed journal. Top-line results from TOIVA are on track for the fourth quarter of 2025. QTORIN™ pipeline development The expansion of QTORIN™ rapamycin into a third serious, rare skin disease with no FDA-approved therapies is progressing, with clinical and regulatory planning ongoing, and announcement of the program is planned for the second half of 2025. The second product candidate from the QTORIN™ platform for a serious, rare skin disease with no FDA-approved therapies, has achieved key pre-clinical development milestones, and announcement of the program is planned for the second half of 2025. Recent Corporate Highlights Wes Kaupinen, Palvella's Founder and CEO, participated in the FDA's CEO Forum with Commissioner Marty A. Makary, M.D., M.P.H, and other senior FDA officials on June 5th. Strengthened executive leadership team with the appointment of Ashley Kline, a rare disease commercial veteran, as Chief Commercial Officer. Ashley previously led the successful launch of Oxervate®, a first-in-disease topical therapy for neurotrophic keratitis, a rare, serious, and progressive eye disease that previously had no FDA-approved therapies. The USPTO issued patent No. 12,329,748 encompassing a wide range of composition and method-of-use claims for QTORIN™ rapamycin and other mTOR inhibitors formulated in 0.1–20% anhydrous compositions for a broad spectrum of rare and common skin diseases, with patent term expected through at least 2038. The Company was added to the Russell 3000® and Russell 2000® indexes on June 27, 2025. Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 were $70.4 million. Palvella expects such resources will be sufficient to fund its operations into the second half of 2027, and sufficient to accomplish its current strategic agenda. Research and development expenses were $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to increased spending on the clinical development of QTORIN™ rapamycin for the treatment of microcystic LMs and cutaneous VMs, including conducting the Phase 3 SELVA and Phase 2 TOIVA trials, which were initiated in 2H 2024. General and administrative expenses were $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by increased employee compensation expense due to headcount additions, as well as increases in expenses related to operating as a publicly-traded company. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $9.5 million, or $0.86 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $4.4 million, or $2.47 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Shares outstanding were 13,735,390 as of August 8, 2025, including 11,059,665 shares of common stock and 2,675,725 common share equivalents assuming conversion of outstanding preferred shares and prefunded warrants.
