VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 25, 2026 / Nano One® Materials Corp. (“Nano One” or the “Company”) (TSX:NANO)(OTCQB:NNOMF)(Frankfurt:LBMB) has filed its audited annual consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) and Management’s Discussion & Analysis (“MD&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“Q4 2025”) and is pleased to provide a summary and an update on subsequent events.
Commercialization Strategy
Technology Solutions Licensing
Nano One’s One-Pot™ process is being marketed directly for license to existing CAM producers in emerging markets around the world who are looking for LFP CAM production technology solutions that offer a cost-competitive, scalable, easier-to-permit and diversified alternative to existing supply chains. The elimination of wastewater and byproducts enables a modular “Design-One-Build-Many” approach that includes a commercial-ready One-Pot LFP CAM Package, in development with Nano One partner Worley Chemetics that is targeted for completion and marketing in H1 2026.
Production
Nano One’s LFP demonstration production plant in Candiac, Québec is being developed as a stepping stone to first revenue, targeting commercial LFP supply agreements by the end of 2026 for defence and energy-storage applications, whose qualification, volume and raw material sourcing requirements are aligned with Candiac’s capacity and supply chains.
Nano One’s Pilot Line of ~200 tpa is operational for customer sampling, continuous process and product improvement and small commercial sales. The Demonstration Line is currently being operated manually in a full-scale reactor, with automation improvements underway to enable approximately 800 tpa of commissioned capacity targeted in the first half of 2027. This line will be focused on producing LFP cathode materials, growing commercial sales, and demonstrating full-scale One-Pot reactors that are fully automated with integrated drying, calcining and packaging processes.
The Candiac Facility also enables A-, B-, and C- sample product qualification with large cell producers looking to secure future supply through offtake agreements. This is a pathway to higher volume production, larger plants, project development and process technology licensing opportunities, all enabled by Nano One’s One-Pot technology.
2026 Strategic Objectives
Nano One is focused on execution and on converting target customer engagements into product and technology sales that build recurring revenue base through licensing and royalties while driving long-term shareholder value. This makes product sales and technology licensing the key areas of focus in 2026, building on the advancement of the Company’s catalysts achieved in 2025 and set out for 2026. The Candiac facility is moving toward first revenue through continuous advancement of customer qualifications towards initial commercial sales and multi-year purchase commitments (product sales). The CAM Package is approaching a go-to-market state with the 2026 objective of finalizing and marketing a ready-to-license One-Pot inside battery limits (ISBL) design to strategic targets for technology license-only sales.
Q4 2025-Financial Position and Results
As of December 31, 2025, the Company reported total net assets and working capital of $22.5 million and $22.3 million respectively, with cash and cash equivalents at $23.6 million. The $6.0 million improvement in net assets over the preceding Q3 2025 quarter is mainly attributable to the overnight marketed offering from December 2025 which drove the increased cash position quarter over quarter. Both the ATM financing and overnight marketed offering generated nearly $10.0 million in gross proceeds further to proceeds from the sale leaseback transaction in Q1 2025 ($13.7 million) and nearly $21.0 million in government funding throughout 2025, which collectively contributed to the year over year net improvement in cash position of $16.4 million. As of December 2025, Nano One had $25.8 million in undrawn government funding available.
NRCan Government Funding
The Company was awarded non-repayable contributions from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) for two LFP related projects under the Energy Innovation Program, on October 29, 2025, and March 3, 2026, for an aggregate amount of $12,310,000.
On March 3, 2026, the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Canada, said “We’re building a stronger, more productive, and increasingly prosperous Canada by supporting companies like Nano One that innovate here at home. This project will help scale up the production of battery materials and drive innovation in clean technologies vital to a lower-carbon future. With this investment, we are strengthening our supply chains and bolstering Canada’s economy, security, and sustainability.”
