Eguana Announces First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
CALGARY, Alberta, (Newsfile Corp. July 7,2025) - Eguana Technologies Inc. (TSXV: EGT)
(OTCQB: EGTYF) ("Eguana" or the "Company"), a leading provider of high-performance
energy storage systems, announces its first quarter financial results for the three-month
ended March 31, 2025.
First Quarter 2024 Summary Results
Q1 2025 revenue of $1,048,180 was a significant increase from the comparative
quarter in March 2024. Q1 2025 revenues were indicative of Eguana's transition to the
utility channel.
Q1 2025 gross margin was approximately $461,175, or 44%, an improvement from
gross margin in the comparative quarter of March 2024. While positive sales were
made in Q1 of 2024, the increase in gross margin in 2025 is primarily due to the
purchase of discounted finished goods in 2024.
Q1 2025 operating loss of $565,450 a decrease from a $1,526,725 operating loss for
the comparative March quarter in 2024. The improvement is largely due to lower
expenses in categories in the first quarter of 2025, as the Company reduced
headcount, development spending and overall expenses.
Working capital at March 31, 2025 remained in a negative position, as the total long-
term debt is classified as current. The liquidity position, which continues to be impacted
by slow market recovery, is closely monitored and has been reported in prior news
releases.
ITOCHU Corporation ("ITOCHU"), a strategic investor in the Company, deferred their
interest payment, in cash or shares in lieu, at March 1, 2025, to support the Company's
liquidity. The payment has been deferred to August 31, 2025.
In March 2025, the Company reached a settlement agreement ("Settlement
Agreement") with its US based third-party manufacturer and third-party distributor.
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement.
o In consideration for Eguana's release of the customer's obligations, Eguana
was paid a termination fee of US$250,000 in cash.
o Customer will transfer ownership of US$1.1M in additional finished goods
inventories.
o Customer agrees to increase the amount of manufacturing credit available to
Eguana under their previous agreementsby US$250,000 to US$1.45M.
The Company was under a management cease trade order ("MCTO"), from the Alberta
Securities Commission for late filing the audited annual consolidated financial
statements. As of this release all fillings are now current and available on SEDAR+.
Business Updates for the First Quarter
Completed secondary demand response testing across 7-day testing period for single
unit and fleet aggregated systems in preparation for bidding into California Demand
Response market with DERMS partner and Community Choice Aggregator.
Continued shipments to Western Canadian utility partner in support of multiple feeder
improvement projects, with a total of 2MWh shipped to date.
The Company is in the final stages negotiating a development agreement with a
Southern Alberta utility to expand and demonstrate utility-oriented functions in Eguana
Edge on a single feeder. These features will enhance the stacked value Eguana is
able to offer to utilities and other stakeholders versus competitive products.
The Company's energy storage products have been accepted into Connecticut's
Energy Storage Solutions program. The unique structure of Connecticut's program
with the focus on performance provides an opportunity for Eguana to differentiate itself
from independence-oriented energy storage products.
Successfully completed demand response testing in Vermont, making Eguana's
products eligible for acceptance into utility driven ESS leasing program to rate base.
With Evolve's advanced IEEE 2030.5 implementation multiple developers are now
using Eguana solutions to demonstrate their own IEEE 2030.5 control and telemetry
capabilities to utilities, including smart meter and AMI (Advanced Metering
Infrastructure) networks and AI-driven distributed computing at the grid edge.
"With growing peak load and supply chain challenges, utilities are increasingly focusing on
emerging technology solutions to maintain power grid reliability, building in needed distribution
and transmission capacities, and minimizing costs to customers by getting more out of the
aging infrastructure we already have" commented Eguana CEO Justin Holland. "As utilities
continue to see Eguana product solutions delivering the capabilities that they have always
sought from distributed energy storage, along with having multiple developers utilizing our
solutions for smart meter and AI driven grid edge advancements, latent opportunities continue
opening for the Company across the USA and Canada in channels we are targeting."
