Nanalysis Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results

CALGARY, AB, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Nanalysis Scientific Corp. ("the Company") (TSXV: NSCI) (OTCQX: NSCIF) (FRA: 1N1), a leader in portable NMR spectrometers and MRI technology for industrial and research applications announces second quarter results for the period ending on June 30, 2025. Chief Executive Officer Sean Krakiwsky and Chief Financial Officer Randall McRae will host a conference call at 5 P.M. Eastern Time today to discuss the results. A second call will be held for European investors at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time tomorrow, Friday, August 29th. All interested parties are invited to join these calls.  All dollar figures in this press release are in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts or unless otherwise stated.    

"The first half of 2025 has been challenging because of economic uncertainty caused by global tariff and trade conditions. The second quarter reflected lower product sales, which had a direct impact on our financial results," said Sean Krakiwsky, Founder and CEO of Nanalysis. "Even so, our cost reduction and efficiency measures have continued to support stronger margins in the scientific equipment business. In our security services segment, the team's focus on scheduling, logistics, and cost management has led to sequential margin improvement, and we expect these efforts will continue to benefit margins in the coming quarters.

"Our plan remains unchanged, we are focused on building a vertically integrated scientific instrumentation company, advancing our Benchtop NMR platforms, and strengthening our service business. Operational execution and efficiency will remain at the core of how we deliver results as we progress on the path to long-term profitable growth."

Financial highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2025:

• For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported consolidated revenue of $9,576, a decrease of $1,898 or 17% from the comparative period in 2024. This decline was primarily driven by lower product sales, as ongoing global economic uncertainty and tariff risks continued to constrain customer capital budgets. Within the security services segment, revenue increased modestly by 7% year-over-year.
• Gross margin percentage for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, on product sales was 61%, versus 50% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. Continuous improvement efforts have resulted in significantly improved margins over the prior year.
• Security service gross margin percentage in the quarter was 10%, the same as in the prior year comparative period. The Company has initiated improvements in its processes to better manage cost of security services, including better scheduling, improving logistics processes and managing overtime and on-call hours. This has resulted in an improvement in margins of 4% over Q1 2025, and the Company expects to continue seeing margins improve for the remainder of the year.
• Adjusted EBITDA (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was ($462) versus an Adjusted EBITDA profit of $759 in the same period last year. This was primarily the result of a drop in scientific equipment sales in the quarter.
• Net loss was $2,122 for the second quarter of 2025, which is $127 higher than the same period in 2024. The increase in net loss was due to lower revenues from scientific equipment sales offset by lower depreciation, stock-based compensation, and the fact that losses from associate are no longer recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss due to the impairment of the Quad investment in 2024.

Financial highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2025:

• The Company reported consolidated revenue of $20,170, a decrease of $2,466 or 11% from the comparative period in 2024. This is primarily the result of a $3,029 decrease in product sales, offset by a $652 increase in security services revenue.
• Gross margin percentage on product sales was 64% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, up from 49% in the prior year. Continuous improvement programs continue to support improvements in 2025 gross margins.
• Gross margin percentage on service revenue was 8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 9% in 2024. The Company has reversed its margin decline from Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 and looks to continue growing margins for the rest of 2025.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was ($282) versus Adjusted EBITDA $655 for the same period last year. The drop was primarily due to a $3,029 decrease in product sales.

Quarterly Trend:

• In Q2 2025, product sales were down by $785 from Q1 2025 mainly due to full quarter impacts of economic uncertainty and tariff risks. This has cooled markets for capital equipment globally and eliminated expected 2025 growth and, in fact, resulted in a decline in overall sales globally. This was offset by an increase in security service revenue of $594 due to increased labour hours as well as the realization of certain contractual service bonuses.

Recent strategic and operational highlights during and after the second quarter of 2025 include:

• Margin Improvement in Security Services: Process and logistics improvements initiated in Q2 led to better scheduling and cost control in the Airport Security Maintenance Business, resulting in sequential gross margin improvement from Q1. This is expected to continue through the remainder of 2025, as our new EVP of Services begins to have an impact on improved operations.
• Closed Promissory Note Financing: On June 12, 2025, the Company closed a fully subscribed private placement of unsecured promissory notes for gross proceeds of $2,000. The notes bear 12% annual interest, payable in cash or, in common shares of the Company. In connection with the financing, the Company issued 1,600,000 common shares at $0.25 per share to the lenders, representing 20% of the principal amount. Net proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes and to support ongoing operations.
• Signed an amending agreement with its lender: During the period ending June 30, 2025, the Company signed an amending agreement with its lender, obtaining a reduction in its loan principal payment from May 31, 2025, to April 30, 2026, as well as an extension of its loan amortization to May 31, 2028.

Outlook

"As we move into the second half of 2025, we continue to see a solid sales funnel; however, the first half highlighted how tariff risks and broader economic conditions can influence the timing of capital equipment purchases," said Mr. Krakiwsky.

"In the Security Services segment, the team has been implementing efficiency measures introduced in the second quarter, with a focus on scheduling, logistics, and cost management. These efforts, together with ongoing cost control and working capital discipline, are directed at improving operational effectiveness.

"Across both product and services, our focus remains on efficiency, margin improvement, and the continued advancement of our Benchtop NMR platforms and service offerings. The team is committed to process improvements and execution, as we persevere through these difficult economic conditions" added Mr. Krakiwsky.

Non-IFRS and Supplementary Financial Measures

The Company prepares and reports its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, ‎as adopted ‎by the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). However, this press release may make reference to certain non-IFRS measures including key ‎performance indicators used by management. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS ‎and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable ‎to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional ‎information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of ‎operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in ‎isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS.

The ‎Company uses Flow-through parts revenue, Security services revenue, Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), and Normalized net loss as non-IFRS measures, which may be calculated ‎differently by other companies. These non-IFRS measure are used to provide investors supplemental measures of the Company's operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in the Company's ‎business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company also ‎believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures ‎in the evaluation of companies in similar industries.
