**PowerBank Returns to Profitability with 106% Year-Over-Year Gross Profit Growth in Q1, 145% Adjusted EBITDA Increase**

***Quarterly Revenues of $19.15 million and a 44.61% Gross Margin***

 

***Return to Profitability with Net Income of $1.01 million***

***This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's prospectus supplement dated June 5, 2025 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated May 7, 2025***

 

**TORONTO, Ontario, November 17, 2025 — PowerBank Corporation (Nasdaq: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: 103) ("PowerBank" or the "Company")** reports its fiscal first quarter 2026 financial results. All financial figures are in Canadian dollars and in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as presented in the interim consolidated financial statements.

<br> **<u>Fiscal Year-to-Date Financial Highlights (All amounts are for the three-month period ended September 30th, 2025)</u>**

● Gross profit was $8.54 million, or 44.62% of revenues, compared to $4.14 million, or 27.47% of revenues in the same quarter for 2025.

● Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> of $4.84 million compared to $1.97 million for the first quarter of FY2025.

● Revenues were $19.15 million compared to $15.06 million in the same period during FY2025.

● Net income of $1.01 million, or $0.03 per basic share in the first quarter of FY2026, compared to a net loss of $26.49 million, or $(0.87) per basic share during the same quarter in FY2025.

● IPP revenue increased from $3.26 million to $3.85 million during the same period.

● Development fee revenue was $3.37 compared to nil for the same period in the prior year. The increase reflects higher development activities completed and monetized during the quarter, consistent with the Company's strategy to advance and realize value from its project development pipeline.

**<u>Corporate First Quarter Highlights and Milestones:</u>**

● The Company announced that its largest owned-and-operated asset in the U.S., the 3.79 MW Geddes Solar Power Project in New York State, is now fully operational. Built on a repurposed landfill, the Geddes Project now delivers 3.79 MW of clean, renewable energy (enough to power approximately 450 homes annually) while transforming an underutilized site into a productive asset. The project has also received its Commercial Operation Payment of $1.47 million USD through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) NY-Sun Program. The project is also expected to receive an additional $245 thousand USD through the Inclusive Community Solar Adder, also through the NY-Sun Program.

● The Company announced that executed lease and power purchase agreements with the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs ("DMNA") for the development of a portfolio of ground mount, rooftop and parking canopy solar power projects and battery energy storage systems with a cumulative total of 20 MW DC. PowerBank intends to develop, finance and construct the projects, a combination of behind-the-meter systems and community solar projects on land owned by the DMNA. Once operational, the clean energy generated by the projects will be sold to the DMNA under long term power purchase agreements that have an initial term of 20 years or will be sold to local residents through community solar subscriptions. The Company will continue to work to complete the permitting process and secure the necessary financing for the construction of the project.

● The Company announced it has executed a lease agreement on a 6.9 MW DC ground-mount solar power project known as the NY-Crawford Rd project in the Capital District, New York. The Company will continue to work to complete the permitting process and secure the necessary financing for the construction of the project.

● The Company announced its 5.7 MW North Main St ground-mount solar project, located in upstate New York, has completed its Coordinated Electric System Interconnection Review. The Company will continue to work to complete the permitting process and secure the necessary financing for the construction of the project.

● The Company announced that Sydney, Brooklyn, and Petpeswick Community Solar projects (the "Projects") in Nova Scotia were granted $1.74 million in funding through the Nova Scotia Department of Environment and Climate Changes provided by the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and managed by the Net Zero Atlantic program. These projects are owned by a third party and are being developed by the Company for the third party.

● The Company announced the installation of its 4.99 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Cramahe, Ontario, at the project known as SFF-06.

Dr. Richard Lu, President and CEO of PowerBank commented:

"I am pleased that PowerBank has returned to profitability this quarter with increased revenues and a further improvement in gross margin. With Geddes project coming online during the quarter, PowerBank continues the growth of its independent power producer portfolio. With the compressed timelines to commence construction of projects and retain eligibility for U.S. tax credits, PowerBank remains focused on rapidly advancing its project development pipeline through completion of project financings to support IPP portfolio growth, and project sales to strategic partners to drive revenues."

*<sup>(1)</sup>EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures with no standardized meaning under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. For further information and detailed reconciliations of Non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures see "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" in this News Release.*

<br> The Company ended the first quarter of fiscal 2026 with $35.46 million in current assets (including $9.01 million in cash, restricted cash and short-term investment), as compared to $41.32 million in current assets as of year-end June 30, 2025. The decrease is principally the result of a significant reduction in prepaid expenses and deposits, partially offset by higher inventory.

Current liabilities decreased from $43.11 million as of the year ended June 30, 2025, to $36.43 million in the current quarter, mainly due to decreases in unearned revenue and the current portion of long-term debt.

Subsequent to quarter end on November 17, 2025, the Company agreed with RE Royalties to extend the maturity date of its outstanding project financing loan to November 26, 2026 at an interest rate of 12% pre annum. In connection with the extension, the royalty rate on certain BESS projects will be 0.80%, provided that it will be reduced to 0.65% if the loan is repaid by May 26, 2026. For additional details please see PowerBank's <u>press release</u> dated November 27, 2024.

For complete details please refer to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and associated Management Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended September 30, 2025, available on SEDAR+ (<u>https://www.sedarplus.ca</u>).

The Company notes that the execution of the Company's growth strategy depends upon the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for the Company and its customers and the Company's future success depends partly on its ability to expand the pipeline of its energy business in several key markets. In addition, governments may revise, reduce or eliminate incentives and policy support schemes for solar and battery storage power, which could cause demand for the Company's services to decline. Further the forecasted MW capacity of a solar project may not be reached. The CIM Transaction is subject to the execution of definitive documentation setting out all of the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions precedent associated with the CIM Transaction. There is a risk that definitive documentation may not be executed or that the conditions precedent to the CIM Transaction are not satisfied. In such case, no funding will be advanced under the terms of the CIM Transaction. PowerBank will also need to secure the financing required to develop the projects to mechanical completion and substantial completion, as prior to such milestone none of the funding from the CIM Transaction will be available. Please refer to "Forward-Looking Statements" for additional discussion of the assumptions and risk factors associated with the statements in this press release.

**<u>Non-IFRS Financial Measures</u>**

The Company has disclosed certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios in this press, as discussed below. These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios are widely reported in the renewable energy industry as benchmarks for performance and are used by management to monitor and evaluate the Company's operating performance and ability to generate cash. The Company believes that, in addition to financial measures and ratios prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios to evaluate the Company's performance. However, the measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. Accordingly, non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures and ratios of the Company's performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Non-IFRS financial measures are defined in National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure ("**NI 52-112**") as a financial measure disclosed that (a) depicts the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of an entity, (b) with respect to its composition, excludes an amount that is included in, or includes an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the entity, (c) is not disclosed in the financial statements of the entity, and (d) is not a ration, fraction, percentage or similar representation.

A non-IFRS ratio is defined by NI 52-112 as a financial measure disclosed that (a) is in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage, or similar representation, (b) has a non-IFRS financial measure as one or more of its components, and (c) is not disclosed in the financial statements.

***Adjusted EBITDA***

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings:

● Income tax expense;

● Finance costs;

● Amortization and depreciation.

● Fair value gain/loss;

● Stock based compensation;

● Impairment charges or reversals;

● Loss on investments;

● Foreign exchange gains or losses.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a valuable indicator of the Company's ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for this purpose. EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes whereby Adjusted EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or "EBITDA multiple" based on an observed or inferred relationship between Adjusted EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a Company. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results because it is consistent with the indicators management uses internally to measure the Company's performance and is an indicator of the performance of the Company's renewable energy project development and operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts. It does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of operating performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of cash costs of financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital balances, and therefore is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined by IFRS. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any ‎forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or ‎otherwise, except as may be required by law. New factors emerge from time to time, and it ‎is not possible for the Company to predict all of them, or assess the impact of each such ‎factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to ‎differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
