WINDSOR, ON, Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – NEXE Innovations Inc. (“NEXE”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) NEXE NX NEXNF, a compostable and innovative materials company, is pleased to announce its financial results for the three-month period ended November 30, 2025 (“Q2 2025”).
Fiscal Q2 2025 was a milestone quarter for NEXE. In the quarter we announced three partnerships and since then, all three partnerships are driving repeat orders, with increasing order volumes reflecting strong market demand. The customer base spans multiple channels, including retail, office coffee services (OCS), and e-commerce, enabling us to reach distinct audiences and broaden our market penetration. Simultaneously, we are onboarding additional customers for our K-Cup-compatible products, which we believe will help ensure a robust pipeline for continued growth. We also remain focused on advancing our next-generation compostable Nespresso OriginalLine pods, with sampling efforts underway for two customers, and we anticipate rolling out these pods later this year.
The three partnerships were announced in the second half of November. The revenue generated in the quarter of $70,754 reflects a partial month of production. As we work with our new customers on transitioning SKUs to the NEXE BPI-certified compostable coffee pod, we expect that quarter-over-quarter results will fluctuate. However, we do expect annual 2025 revenues to be higher than 2024 as we onboard new customers and expand SKUs/offerings to existing clients. The sales cycle is long – and the initial outreach to the partnerships we announced in Q2 2025 started many quarters ago. The partnerships include:
- ecoBeans: A West Coast brand available in retail locations and the Office Coffee Services space (OCS).
- Bridgehead Coffee: An established premium coffee company in Ontario with over 40 years of history. This company transitioned from another compostable pod to our NEXE pod. Bridgehead works with well-known retail and grocery chains, including Costco, Whole Foods, Sobey’s, and Farm Boy. Bridgehead has entered into a multi-period master manufacturing agreement with NEXE.
- EKOCUPS: A high-volume online seller and Amazon retailer. This partnership will allow us to expand in the U.S. and build a strong foothold in the largest single-serve market. ~40 million U.S. households own a K-Cup compatible single-serve brewing system.
“This quarter marks a pivotal moment for NEXE as we believe our efforts are beginning to translate into tangible revenues, driven by increasing demand from our recently announced partnerships,” stated Ash Guglani, President and Co-founder of NEXE, “We remain focused on scaling coffee and expanding our footprint by exploring new markets and verticals where we believe our proprietary resin can deliver sustainable solutions. The momentum from our partnerships, coupled with our ongoing R&D advancements, positions us to unlock additional revenue opportunities and drive long-term growth”.
Through our R&D efforts to develop a compostable coffee pod that could withstand unique obstacles of withstanding heat, water, and pressure during the brewing process, resulted in an incredible breakthrough in our proprietary resin. In our view, this positions NEXE to potentially expand into industries where a sustainable solution would be the ideal replacement for plastic. We are exploring verticals with significant total addressable markets. To support these efforts, we are currently building prototypes that showcase our capabilities to key decision makers in specific industries. We believe these advancements may have the potential to open up new revenue-generating opportunities that we had not previously considered.
NEXE continues to be disciplined with managing its balance sheet. We have made the necessary capital investments to scale our proprietary resin across various form factors and believe minimal capital investments will be required in the short-term. We believe the fundamentals remain strong and have a strong financial position to execute the business plan, particularly:
- NEXE has a strong cash position to execute its strategy and work with large-scale coffee companies and to start building on opportunities outside the coffee space. At the end of Q2 2025, our total cash position is $14.5 million.
- NEXE has minimal debt. The current debt outstanding is $0.5 million, related to a government loan. NEXE’s commitments at the end of the quarter were $1.3 million, with minimal capex expected over the next two years.
Q2 2025 Results:
During the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company had net loss of $1,645,655 or $0.017 per share, compared to a net loss of $1,610,871 or $0.016 per share, for the comparable period last year.
The net loss is a result of the following:
- Revenue was $70,754 (November 30, 2023 – $33,729) and cost of goods sold was $226,050 (November 30, 2023 – $88,060). The cost of goods included non-cash expenses, such as depreciation related to production machinery and equipment. Revenues reflect a partial month of production as partnerships were signed mid-November – late November.
- Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased to $906,001 (November 30, 2023 – $929,130) due to lower advertising and marketing, lower professional fees, and lower compensation. The management team continues to maintain a disciplined approach to allocating resources.
- A non-cash share-based compensation expense decreased to $24,582 (November 30, 2023 – $151,062) for stock options granted to directors, officers, and employees;
- Interest and accretion expense decreased to $29,194 (November 30, 2023 – $47,335) as a result of declining balances of the government loan.
- Interest income increased to $118,083 (November 30, 2023 – $24,854) primarily from the GIC deposits.
- Depreciation increased to $486,781 (November 30, 2023 – $373,394) due to additional equipment purchased and assets becoming available for use which were not previously depreciated.
- Research and development expenses decreased to $105,871 (November 30, 2023 ‐ $76,749). The Company will continue to invest in R&D to develop new products, technology and formulations.
