ALUULA's Year-to-Date Revenue Momentum Offsets Softer Q3 Sales

Q3 2026 sales of $2,468,502 represented a 16% increase over Q3 2025's $2,121,588 but stepped back 19% from the record $3,056,473 recorded in Q2 2026, a pattern the company attributed to previously identified quarter-to-quarter order timing variability. Performance Outdoor sales grew 16% to $2,221,461, accounting for 90% of quarterly revenue, while Commercial Industrial sales rose 23% to $247,041. During the quarter, materials were delivered to 17 new customers across pack and bag, marine, wind-assisted propulsion, and other technical applications, reflecting continued commercialisation activity.

Vancouver Facility Secures Full Access in October as Margin Pressure Persists

ALUULA confirmed it has secured and begun early use of its new Vancouver manufacturing facility, with the remaining portion of the lease expected to commence in October 2026. The company plans to operate its Victoria and Vancouver sites concurrently during the transition to maintain supply continuity, a period management acknowledged will result in duplicate facility costs, split staffing, and reduced operational efficiency. Q3 gross margin of 32% reflected approximately $77,000 in inventory write-downs, higher costs from producing larger-width materials within the current footprint, and lower fixed-cost absorption. Management characterised these impacts as transitional.

Defence and Maritime R&D Funding Validates Larger-Width Material Strategy

Subsequent to quarter-end, on September 17, 2026, ALUULA signed a milestone-staged funding agreement under Canada's Industrial and Technological Benefits Policy. Under the arrangement, IBERCISA Deck Machinery, a partner to Seaspan Shipyards, will fund 50% of a $730,000 research and development project focused on testing and validation of ALUULA's larger-width materials for defence shelter and cover applications. ALUULA will fund the balance and conduct the work in collaboration with the University of British Columbia's Composites Research Network. The company also holds a No-Sew™ construction methodology among its active innovation initiatives.

Liquidity Position Supports Vancouver Transition Through Planned Capital Deployment

As at July 31, 2026, ALUULA held cash and cash equivalents of $12.6 million and working capital of $14.8 million. Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations totalled $1.3 million for the nine-month period, compared with $1.7 million in the prior-year period. Management stated it believes current liquidity is sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures, working capital requirements, and operations through the Vancouver transition. The company indicated it intends to reassess long-term gross margin targets in 2027 once sufficient operating history at the new facility has been established.
