Management Commentary:

“The first quarter of our fiscal year is typically a lower revenue-generating period due to seasonality of our core material handling vertical and the close correlation of our business with large retailers. However, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, we continued to make meaningful progress across our core markets and strategic initiatives, while also achieving our year-over-year growth and profitability targets,” stated Dr. Raj DasGupta, CEO of Electrovaya. “We are expanding our offerings within material handling with new OEM-integrated high-voltage systems scheduled for initial deliveries in March, while also advancing our presence in defense, robotics, and airport ground equipment applications.”

“At the same time, we are accelerating development of ultra-fast charging battery technology and next-generation 800V DC energy storage solutions targeting robotics and data center infrastructure. Our Jamestown facility expansion is progressing with site upgrades, equipment deliveries, and key hiring underway.”

“We continued our strong growth trajectory in Q1 FY 2026, which is a quarter where we historically experience some seasonality. This quarter saw a 39% increase in revenue, a 265% increase in Adjusted EBITDA1, a Net Profit of $1 million, which gave us an earnings per share figure of $0.02, and positive cash flow from operations,” stated John Gibson, Electrovaya’s CFO. “We are moving into Q2 FY2026 and beyond with a strong balance sheet and capital to invest in continued technology development and support organic growth. We continue to draw on the EXIM facility to support the build out of the Jamestown plant and are utilizing the BMO facility to support general operations.”

Positive Financial Outlook & Fiscal 2026 Guidance:

The Company anticipates continued strong growth into FY2026 with estimated revenue growth to exceed 30% over FY 2025 (in excess of $83 million) driven by sustained demand from the Company’s largest end users of material handling batteries and our entry into additional market verticals. This guidance reflects existing purchase orders, and anticipated pipeline of key customers. This guidance also takes into consideration a percentage of anticipated revenue that may be deferred to FY 2027. This guidance is subject to change and is made barring any unforeseen circumstances.

¹ Non-IFRS Measure: Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income/(loss) from operations, plus stock-based compensation costs and depreciation and amortization costs. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore it is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that certain investors and analysts use adjusted EBITDA to measure the performance of the business and is an accepted measure of financial performance in our industry. It is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS, and may not be defined and calculated in the same manner by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to IFRS measures. The most directly comparable measure to Adjusted EBITDA calculated in accordance with IFRS is income (loss) from operations.

Forward-looking statements can generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “likely”, “possible”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “objective” and “continue” (or the negative thereof) and words and expressions of similar import. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of the experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate are necessarily applied in making forward looking statements and such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, therefore actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Material assumptions made in disclosing the forward-looking statements included in the news release include, but are not limited to assumptions that the Company’s customers will deploy its products in accordance with communicated timing and volumes, that the Company’s customers will complete new distribution centers in accordance with communicated expectations, intentions and plans, the sum of anticipated new orders in FY 2026 based on customers’ historical patterns and additional demand communicated to the Company and its partners but not yet provided as a purchase order with the Company’s current firm purchase order backlog totaling approximately $100-125 million, a discount of approximately 25% used in the revenue modeling applied to the overall expected order pipeline to account for potential delays in customer orders, expected decreases in input and material costs combined with stable selling prices in FY 2026, and a stable political climate with respect to exports from Canada to the United States, the start up time for manufacturing in Jamestown NY is estimated towards the end of FY 2026 or first quarter of FY 2027, the ability to leverage IRA45X credits, the ability to receive incentives from the state of New York, the ability to improve margins from domestic manufacturing, and the ability to attract additional customers through domestic manufacturing. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include but are not limited to customers not placing orders roughly in accordance with historical ordering patterns and communicated intentions resulting in annual revenue growth in FY 2026 of more than 30% over FY 2025 (exceeding $83 million), the predictability of sales and success of the Company’s products in verticals other than material handling, the imposition of a tariff regime on Canadian exports by the United States, macroeconomic effects on the Company and its business and on the lithium battery industry generally, the Company’s liquidity and cash availability in excess of its operational requirements, and the ability to generate and sustain sales orders. Additional information about material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations and about material factors or assumptions applied in making forward-looking statements may be found in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended September 30, 2025 under “Risk Factors”, in the Company’s base shelf prospectus dated September 17, 2024, and in the Company’s most recent annual and interim Management’s Discussion and Analysis under “Qualitative And Quantitative Disclosures about Risk and Uncertainties” as well as in other public disclosure documents filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the forward-looking statements contained in this document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

The revenue for the periods described herein constitute future‐oriented financial information and financial outlooks (collectively, “FOFI”), and generally, is, without limitation, based on the assumptions and subject to the risks set out above under “Forward‐Looking Statements”. Although management believes such assumptions to be reasonable, a number of such assumptions are beyond the Company’s control, and there can be no assurance that the assumptions made in preparing the FOFI will prove accurate. FOFI is provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the Company’s future performance and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

The FOFI does not purport to present the Company’s financial condition in accordance with IFRS, and it is expected that there may be differences between audited results and preliminary results, and the differences may be material. The inclusion of the FOFI in this news release disclosure should not be regarded as an indication that the Company considers the FOFI to be a reliable prediction of future events, and the FOFI should not be relied upon as such.
