Q1 Fiscal 2027 Revenue and Gross Margin Performance

Hybrid Power Solutions recorded revenue of $630,383 for the three months ended August 31, 2026, more than doubling the $298,926 reported in the same quarter a year earlier. Product revenue accounted for $622,233 of the total, rising from $290,776, with Canadian customer revenue increasing significantly to $456,882 from $36,369. Gross profit improved to $62,852, representing a gross margin of 10.0%, up from 7.4% in Q1 fiscal 2026. The company stated the margin improvement reflected high-value units sold during the quarter, allowing fixed production and operating costs to be spread across a larger revenue base.

Net Loss and Operating Expenses Widen Year Over Year

Operating expenses rose 21% to $806,985 from $668,159 in Q1 fiscal 2026, driven by higher general and administrative costs — including bad debt expense of $65,733 — and increased salaries and benefits. The net loss widened to $1,016,223, or $0.01 per share, from $627,687 in the prior-year quarter. The release states the increased loss mainly reflects interest and accretion of $157,550, a loss on revaluation of the derivative liability of $140,152, and a loss on sale of property and equipment of $87,926, partly offset by government assistance of $106,283. CEO Francois Byrne noted in the release that gross margin improved as higher-value units spread fixed production costs over a larger revenue base.

Balance Sheet Strengthened Through June Financing and Debenture Repayment

Cash stood at $304,172 as at August 31, 2026, up from $234,500 at May 31, 2026. The working capital deficiency decreased to $730,796 and shareholders' deficiency fell to $1,865,425, primarily reflecting share capital and reserves issued during the quarter through the June 2026 non-brokered private placement, which raised gross proceeds of $1,697,000 through the issuance of 33,940,000 units at $0.05 per unit. Subsequent to quarter end, the company closed a further private placement raising $617,500 and fully repaid its $350,000 convertible debenture balance in cash. As of October 29, 2026, the company had 155,327,950 common shares outstanding.

Post-Quarter Milestones Including US Air Force Order and New Facility

Following the quarter, Hybrid Power Solutions received a purchase order for 20 Batt Pack Pro units intended for use by the United States Air Force through distribution partner Military Battery Systems Inc. — described as the 9th order received through that partner since August 2024. The company also announced a systems integration and distribution agreement with Vortex Telecom Group Inc. and a non-binding letter of intent for a proposed Canadian battery energy storage system manufacturing relationship, with the release cautioning that no orders, sales volumes, or revenue are assured under either arrangement.
