MWN-AI** Analysis
NanoXplore Inc. (TSX: GRA; OTCQX: NNXPF) recently reported Q2-2026 results that presented a mixed picture for investors. While the company did experience an overall decline in total revenues of 17%, dropping to CAD 27.58 million, the positive news is embedded in improved adjusted EBITDA figures and margin stability. Specifically, the adjusted gross margin slightly increased to 21.5%, showcasing effective cost control measures, although the company still recorded a net loss of CAD 3.84 million, wider than the previous year.
The management underscored a pivotal point in their operational strategy, with the successful installation of a dry-process graphene platform and new customer programs expected to drive growth in the latter half of the fiscal year. Notably, improvements in the Battery Cells and Materials segment, which showed a significant turn around to a positive adjusted EBITDA of CAD 43,388 from a loss, could signal progressive future momentum.
Investors should carefully consider the strategic decision to halt the ambitious CSPG initiative, as capital allocation discipline could reflect positively on long-term shareholder value. With total liquidity still robust at CAD 40.14 million and manageable long-term debt of CAD 13.92 million, NanoXplore maintains a stable financial position to support its operations and future projects.
However, the company faces headwinds, especially in its Advanced Materials, Plastics, and Composite Products segment, where revenues plummeted 18%. This decrease was primarily due to lower volumes and tooling revenues, raising questions about market demand and competition.
In conclusion, while the short-term top-line performance is concerning, the strategic pivots and emerging profitability in specific segments may present a buying opportunity for investors with a longer-term outlook. Monitoring future performance alongside customer stabilization will be crucial for determining NanoXplore’s growth trajectory.

Overview
Rocco Marinaccio, President & Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Fiscal Q2 marked an important inflection point for NanoXplore as we delivered sequential improvements across revenue, margins, and adjusted EBITDA, reflecting stronger execution and improving fundamentals. Our on time and on budget installation of our dry-process graphene platform plus new customer program launches position us well for a stronger second half and long-term value creation for our shareholders. After careful review, our disciplined approached to capital allocation has led to the strategic decision not to pursue the previously contemplated $100 million active anode material (CSPG) initiative.”
Pedro Azevedo, Chief Financial Officer, stated: “After a challenging fiscal Q1, I am pleased with our Q2 performance delivering sequential revenue growth along with a return to positive adjusted EBITDA. The quarter saw volumes from our largest two customers stabilize and new revenues from CP Chem and Club Car start to produce visible results. We will continue to build on the momentum generated by new customers to deliver continued sequential financial improvement over the coming quarters.”
* Non-IFRS Measures
The Corporation prepares its financial statements under IFRS. However, the Corporation considers certain non-IFRS financial measures as useful additional information in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Corporation. These measures, which the Corporation believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Corporation’s performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures include "Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted gross margin”.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of IFRS “Loss” to Non-IFRS “Adjusted EBITDA” and of IFRS “Gross margin” to Non-IFRS “Adjusted Gross margin” for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
