Key Events

Going Concern Warning Confirmed
Management explicitly states substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, with current liquidity of $4.92 million (cash + undrawn credit) insufficient for the next 12 months.
-
Dramatic Revenue Decline
Total revenues for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, decreased by 95% to $0.51 million, down from $10.89 million in the prior year, primarily due to the absence of a significant technology licensing fee received in 2025.
-
Increased Cash Burn
Net cash used in operating activities significantly increased to $10.11 million for the year, compared to $2.12 million in the previous year, accelerating the depletion of cash reserves.
-
Negative Stockholders' Equity
The company's total stockholders' equity shifted from a positive $0.37 million to a deficit of $(9.58) million, reflecting accumulated losses and the liability classification of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
Analysis
Loop Industries' annual report confirms substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, citing insufficient cash and recurring losses. The company's cash and equivalents plummeted from $12.97 million to $2.36 million, and net cash used in operating activities surged from $2.12 million to $10.11 million year-over-year. Total revenues dramatically decreased by 95% to $0.51 million, and stockholders' equity turned negative, indicating severe financial distress.
