Loop Industries Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Results and Provides Update on Progress Towards Commercialization
Rhea-AI Summary
Loop Industries (NASDAQ: LOOP) reported first quarter fiscal 2027 results and progress toward commercialization of its Infinite Loop technology. In June 2026, Loop signed a non-binding LOI with a major global apparel brand for an initial multi-year offtake framework targeting up to 15,000 metric tons per year of PET fiber-grade resin from its India JV. Engineering for the India facility is advancing with Toyo Engineering India, generating services revenue, and project debt syndication has reached the technology due diligence phase. In Europe, JV partner Infinite Loop Europe, backed by Reed Societe Generale Group, selected BASF Industriepark Lausitz in Germany for its first plant and is entering engineering and permitting, which Loop expects will also generate engineering revenue.
For the quarter ended May 31, 2026, revenues were $179k, all from India JV engineering services, versus $252k a year earlier. Net loss was $3.4m, slightly improved year over year, with cash operating expenses at $1.6m, down $1.0m. Cash and cash equivalents were $1.1m, total available liquidity was $3.6m, and Loop reported a stockholders’ deficit of $12.0m. Management said it is pursuing non-dilutive and strategic funding options and expects India and Europe engineering revenues plus new capital to support operations through commercial start-up.

Infinite Loop™ India
Strategic India JV offtake LOI: In June 2026, Loop executed a Letter of Intent (LOI) for an initial multi-year offtake agreement with a major global apparel company. This LOI forms the framework for an ongoing collaboration targeting up to 15,000 metric tons annually of Loop's proprietary PET fiber-grade resin.
Engineering continuing for India JV: Toyo Engineering India Private Limited is steadily advancing detailed engineering work for the India facility. Simultaneously, Loop's internal engineering team continues to meet project milestones, generating engineering services revenues for the Company.
India JV project debt financing: The debt syndication process to fund construction of the India JV facility has advanced to the technology due diligence phase, representing an important step towards securing project capital.
European Partnership with Reed Societe Generale Group
Status update: As previously announced, Infinite Loop Europe, our European JV with Reed Societe Generale Group which purchased a license to build a European facility using Loop's technology, has selected BASF Industriepark Lausitz in Schwarzheide, Germany, as the site for its first facility. This location provides a number of benefits including world class industrial infrastructure and a supportive regulatory environment aimed at strengthening the EU plastics recycling sector. The project is moving into the engineering and permitting phase which is expected to generate engineering services revenue for Loop in this fiscal year.

CEO Comment
"Our commercial momentum is continuing as we engage in constructive discussions with leading global apparel and consumer brands eager to secure Loop's virgin-quality polyester," said Daniel Solomita, Founder and CEO of Loop Industries. "This traction is demonstrated by our recent LOI with a major global apparel brand. Although long-term agreements fall outside their standard procurement practices, they executed this LOI to position themselves to secure a portion of our volume and help work towards their stated objectives of reducing their carbon footprint by increasing the recycled content in their products. Concurrently, our engineering teams are driving excellent progress in India and are fully prepared to deploy that expertise as we begin work on our European development."
