Analysis
PowerBank reported FY2026 revenue of $27.4 million, compared with $41.5 million in FY2025. The Company attributed the decline to its shift from selling projects toward owning them. IPP production revenue increased from $9.3 million to $9.8 million, indicating a larger contribution from the owned-project model even as total development and EPC revenue declined.
The reported mix produced a materially higher gross margin: gross profit was $9.5 million, or 34.7% of revenues, compared with $10.5 million, or 25.3% of revenues, in FY2025. The margin expansion is the principal operational improvement in the release. However, adjusted EBITDA moved to a loss of $(3.5) million from a loss of $(0.8) million, which the Company attributed primarily to lower development and EPC revenue and higher operating expenses.
The IFRS net loss narrowed to $24.3 million from $31.1 million, while basic and diluted loss per share were each $(0.58), compared with $(0.97) in FY2025. Operating cash use also improved, with an outflow of $12.8 million versus an outflow of $17.3 million. Current liabilities decreased to $39.4 million from $43.1 million, and the Company ended the year with working capital of $1.6 million versus a working capital deficit of $(1.8) million.
The year included five projects entering commercial operation, three new upstate New York BESS projects adding 60 MWh, and commercial operation for all three projects in the 21 MW upstate New York community-solar portfolio. Management expects revenue to return to growth in Fiscal 2027, but did not provide numerical guidance. Execution remains tied to financing availability, pipeline expansion, project development and construction, and the persistence of government solar and battery-storage incentives.
Management, verbatim
Fiscal 2026 was the year PowerBank’s financial transformation took hold. While revenue declined as we shifted from selling projects toward owning them, gross margin expanded to 34.7% from 25.3%, we narrowed our net loss by $6.8 million, reduced cash used in operations by $4.4 million, and moved from a working capital deficit to positive working capital of $1.6 million.
Dr. Richard Lu, CEO of PowerBank
We brought five projects into commercial operation during the year, including our SFF 06 battery energy storage project in Ontario, and our IPP portfolio generated $9.8 million in production revenue. With this foundation in place, we expect revenue to return to growth in Fiscal 2027.
