Overview

Rocco Marinaccio, President & Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Fiscal Q2 marked an important inflection point for NanoXplore as we delivered sequential improvements across revenue, margins, and adjusted EBITDA, reflecting stronger execution and improving fundamentals. Our on time and on budget installation of our dry-process graphene platform plus new customer program launches position us well for a stronger second half and long-term value creation for our shareholders. After careful review, our disciplined approached to capital allocation has led to the strategic decision not to pursue the previously contemplated $100 million active anode material (CSPG) initiative."

Pedro Azevedo, Chief Financial Officer, stated: "After a challenging fiscal Q1, I am pleased with our Q2 performance delivering sequential revenue growth along with a return to positive adjusted EBITDA. The quarter saw volumes from our largest two customers stabilize and new revenues from CP Chem and Club Car start to produce visible results. We will continue to build on the momentum generated by new customers to deliver continued sequential financial improvement over the coming quarters."

- 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 and six-month periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

All revenues are coming from the Advanced Materials, Plastics and Composite Products segment, except for $44,609 of revenues from customers and $242,788 from Other income [Q2-2025 - nil and $11,520 respectively] from the Battery Cells and Materials segment.

Revenues from customers decreased from $32,636,947 in Q2-2025 to $26,928,115 in Q2-2026. This decrease is mainly due to lower volume and tooling revenues.

Other income increased from $483,939 in Q2-2025 to $652,175 in Q2-2026. The variation is due to grants and refundable tax credits received for Research & Development ("R&D") programs.

Adjusted EBITDA

1) From Advanced Materials, Plastics and Composite Products

The adjusted EBITDA decreased from $1,319,926 in Q2-2025 to $180,967 in Q2-2026. The variation is explained as follows:

• Adjusted gross margin on revenues from customers decreased by $1,214,031 compared to last year due to lower volume and lower tooling revenues partially offset by higher powder sales, improved productivity and cost control.
  

2) From Battery Cells and Materials

The adjusted EBITDA loss improved from $217,876 in Q2-2025 to an adjusted EBITDA of $43,388 in Q2-2026. The variation is explained by an increase of revenues from customers and of Other income of $44,609 and $231,268 respectively.
