EnWave Reports 2026 Third Quarter Consolidated Interim Financial Results

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the "Company") today reported the Company’s consolidated interim financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2026.

All values in thousands and denoted in CAD unless otherwise stated.

Reported Q3 2026 revenue of $3,313 an increase of $569 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the sale of a large- scale machine that had been fully fabricated and held in inventory in prior periods and higher royalties.

Reported royalties, excluding exclusivity payments (“Base Royalties”), for Q3 2026 of $536, an increase of $104, or 24% relative to the comparable period in the prior year. Royalties increased due to higher product sales and partner production for the quarter.

Gross margin for the three months ended Q3 2026 was 25% compared to 19% for the three months ended Q3 2025. The increase in margin was primarily attributable to lower fabrication costs resulting from fewer large-scale machines on contract as compared to the prior quarter.

Reported a decrease in Selling, General & Administrative (“SG&A”) costs (including Research & Development (“R&D”)) of $205 for Q3 2026 relative to the comparable period in the prior year, with the decrease primarily related to lower personnel and third-party commission costs offset by higher professional development fees and tradeshow attendance.

Reported an Adjusted EBITDA (1) loss of $93 for Q3 2026, a $482 improvement from the prior year, driven by large-scale equipment sale and lower SG&A expenses, including R&D.

Key Financial Highlights for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2026 (expressed in 000’s)

Reported revenue of $6,072 a decrease of $1,538 relative to the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily related to fewer machine sales.

Reported Base Royalties of $1,470, an increase of $139 or 10% relative to the comparative period in the prior year. Reported total royalty revenues of $1,628, an increase of $163 or 10% relative to the comparative period in the prior year. Royalties grew due to increased royalty partners, product sales, partner production, and exclusivity payments.

Reported a $73 increase in SG&A costs for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to higher sales personnel, patent maintenance, legal fees associated with general business activities, and recruitment costs. Prior-year financing-related legal costs were capitalized as part of the transaction.
