Loop Energy Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

Loop Energy™ (TSX: LPEN) today reported consolidated financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2023.

"The fuel cell market continues to develop as end users look to hydrogen solutions to reduce emissions. Loop’s proprietary technology is continuing to advance, and customers are seeing the value of Loop’s products for their applications,” said Ben Nyland, President and CEO. “We are continuing to manage the business conservatively and with the reduction in workforce and cost-cutting initiatives implemented in the quarter will see operating expenses reduce going forward. We continue to focus on new product launches for buses and vertical integration. On a strategic basis, our management team and the Board of Directors continue to work closely with Credit Suisse, our financial advisor, to investigate potential partnerships, licensing opportunities, joint developments, outsourcing opportunities, sale and other ways of bringing new capital and resources to support Loop Energy’s expansion plans.”

Commercial Highlights Q1 2023:

  • We delivered three fuel cell systems to H2 Portable, a Canadian developer of hydrogen-electric mobile power solutions. The fuel cells will be integrated into hydrogen-electric gensets designed to provide clean, reliable, on-demand power to movie sets, construction sites and locations with limited grid power access.
  • Loop Energy was selected by Wiggins Lift Co., a leading American material handling vehicle manufacturer, to provide the fuel cell system for its new hydrogen-powered eBull forklift product this year.
  • In mid-April, our CEO Ben Nyland and Chief Scientist Dr. Sean MacKinnon were presenting speakers on panels at Hannover Messe + H2 Fuel Cells Europe exhibition in Germany, where the Company hosted a trade booth and held numerous OEM customer meetings.

Financial Highlights Q1 2023

  • Revenues of $0.9 million compared to $0.2 million for the same period last year
  • Operating expenses, net of cost recoveries of $4.3 million versus $6.1 million for the same period last year
  • Capital expenditures in Q1 2023 were $2.4 million compared to $3.3 million in Q1 2022.
  • Net losses of $(7.3) million compared to $(8.0) million for the same period last year
  • Loss per share in Q1 2023 was $(0.21) compared to $(0.24) per share in Q1 2022
  • Cash and cash equivalents of $13.2 million compared to $24.5 million in Q4 2022
  • Cash in the quarter was used for: i) inventory build-up as a result of commitments made in prior periods; ii) commitments for deposit on inventory made in prior periods; iii) capital expenditures committed to in prior periods; and iv) restructuring expenses incurred in the quarter. These uses of cash were partially offset by cost recoveries from SDTC and JGC.
  • The Company reduced headcount and implemented additional cost-saving measures during Q1 2023. With the full effect of the employee and operating expense reductions taking effect at the beginning of the second quarter, we anticipate that our quarterly cash burn will be reduced from here forward.
  • The Company engaged Credit Suisse to explore strategic alternatives, including potential transaction structures that may bring new capital into the business and extend our runway into 2024 and beyond; currently, the Company continues to believe it has adequate cash resources and funding commitments to continue operations until the end of the calendar year.
