PowerBank FY2026 revenue falls to C$27.4M
Management expects PowerBank's revenue to return to growth in Fiscal 2027.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
PowerBank Corporation reported FY2026 revenue of C$27.410 million, compared with C$41.531 million in FY2025. Net loss narrowed to C$24.296 million from C$31.116 million, and cash used in operating activities was C$12.828 million versus C$17.260 million. Gross margin rose to 34.7% from 25.3%, while Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of C$3.514 million compared with a loss of C$846,000.
At June 30, 2026, PowerBank reported C$1.6 million of working capital and C$10.7 million in cash within C$40.9 million of current assets. Current liabilities were C$39.4 million at June 30, 2026, versus C$43.1 million at June 30, 2025. The company brought five projects into commercial operation, including the SFF 06 battery energy storage project in Ontario; its IPP portfolio generated C$9.8 million in production revenue. CEO Richard Lu said revenue declined as PowerBank shifted from selling projects toward owning them.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Dr. Richard Lu, CEO of PowerBank commented: “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. 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.”
(1) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures with no standardized meaning under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

The decrease was primarily due to lower prepaid expenses and deposits and trade and other receivables, substantially offset by higher inventories and cash.
Current liabilities decreased from $43.1 million as of the year ended June 30, 2025, to $39.4 million as of June 30, 2026, primarily due to lower trade and other payables and contract liabilities, partially offset by increases in the current portion of long-term debt and short-term loans. As a result, the Company had working capital of $1.6 million at June 30, 2026.
For complete details please refer to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and associated Management Discussion and Analysis for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, available on SEDAR+ (https://www.sedarplus.ca).
The Company notes that the execution of the Company’s growth strategy depends upon the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for the Company and its customers and the Company’s future success depends partly on its ability to expand the pipeline of its energy business in several key markets. In addition, governments may revise, reduce or eliminate incentives and policy support schemes for solar and battery storage power, which could cause demand for the Company’s services to decline. Please refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional discussion of the assumptions and risk factors associated with the statements in this press release.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company has disclosed certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios in this press release, as discussed below. These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios are widely reported in the renewable energy industry as benchmarks for performance and are used by management to monitor and evaluate the Company’s operating performance and ability to generate cash. The Company believes that, in addition to financial measures and ratios prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios to evaluate the Company’s performance. However, the measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. Accordingly, non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures and ratios of the Company’s performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Non-IFRS financial measures are defined in National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure (“NI 52-112”) as a financial measure disclosed that (a) depicts the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow of an entity, (b) with respect to its composition, excludes an amount that is included in, or includes an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of the entity, (c) is not disclosed in the financial statements of the entity, and (d) is not a ratio, fraction, percentage or similar representation.
A non-IFRS ratio is defined by NI 52-112 as a financial measure disclosed that (a) is in the form of a ratio, fraction, percentage, or similar representation, (b) has a non-IFRS financial measure as one or more of its components, and (c) is not disclosed in the financial statements.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure, which excludes the following from net earnings:
| ● | Income tax (income) expense; |
| ● | Finance costs; |
| ● | Amortization and depreciation; |
| ● | Fair value gain/loss; |
| ● | Stock based compensation; |
| ● | Impairment charges or reversals; |
| ● | Loss on investments; |
| ● | Foreign exchange gains or losses. |
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a valuable indicator of the Company’s ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for this purpose. EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes whereby Adjusted EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or “EBITDA multiple” based on an observed or inferred relationship between Adjusted EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a Company. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results because it is consistent with the indicators management uses internally to measure the Company’s performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts. It does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of operating performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently.

For the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $3,514, compared to a loss of $846 in the same period in the prior year, representing a decrease of $2,668. The decrease primarily reflected lower development and EPC revenue and higher operating expenses.
