EXHIBIT 99.1

 

LOOP INDUSTRIES REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2023 RESULTS

 

LOOP MANAGEMENT TO HOLD UPDATE CALL: 11:00AM ET, ON FRIDAY JANUARY 13TH, 2023

 

MONTREAL, QC/ACCESSWIRE/JANUARY 12, 2023 — Loop Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: LOOP) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a clean technology company whose mission is to accelerate a circular plastics economy by manufacturing 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”) plastic and polyester fiber, today provided an update on its activities and reported its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023.

 

Agreement to Sell Bécancour Site and Cost Reduction Measures to Ensure Ongoing Liquidity

  

On December 22, 2022, Loop announced it had entered into an agreement to sell all of its remaining property in Bécancour, Quebec for CDN $18.5 million (US $13.9 million). The sale transaction is expected to close on February 24, 2023, subject to final due diligence and fulfillment of certain customary closing conditions.

 

Loop announced on the same day that it has reduced the hours of operation at its Terrebonne, Quebec production facility in order to reduce operating costs. This facility was constructed primarily to demonstrate that Loop’s breakthrough depolymerization technology was scalable and to produce commercial quantities of virgin quality PET resin and polyester fiber for global brands. The technology is now proven at scale. The Company will continue to fulfill its existing sales contracts.

 

The proceeds of the land sale combined with the cost reduction measures are expected to ensure Loop’s ongoing liquidity to finance its current activities as the Company advances towards the commercialization of its technology.

 

Company to Focus Current Commercialization Efforts on SK Geo Centric “SKGC” Partnership

 

In conjunction with the agreement to sell its Bécancour property, Loop also announced on December 22, 2022 that the Company will for now focus its commercialization strategy on its planned projects with SKGC in Asia and Europe. These joint venture projects have a lower requirement for Loop equity investment and higher return on capital, provide Loop with an annual technology licensing fee and leverage SKGC’s expertise in plant operations and maintenance. Loop and SKGC are also collaborating closely with SK ecoengineering “SKEE”, a subsidiary of the SK Group, on providing the engineering related to the construction of the planned Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility in Ulsan, South Korea. SKEE is an experienced EPC contractor with a proven track record in the construction of large scale projects internationally.

 

SKGC is committed to commercializing Loop’s technology as the underpinning of its sustainable plastics strategy. The manufacturing facility in Ulsan, South Korea, is expected to break ground in 2023. Loop is working collaboratively with SKGC to put in place a financing plan for the construction of this facility.

Revenues

 

Revenues for the three-month period ended November 30, 2022 were $0.02 million. For the same period in 2021, there were no revenues. The revenues resulted from the delivery of initial volumes to customers of Loop™ PET resin produced using monomers manufactured at the Terrebonne Facility.

  

Research and Development

 

Research and development expense for the three-month period ended November 30, 2022 decreased $2.25 million to $4.58 million, as compared to $6.84 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.54 million decrease in purchases of machinery and equipment used at the Terrebonne facility, a $0.88 million decrease in external engineering costs for ongoing design work for our Infinite Loop™ manufacturing process, and a $0.40 million increase in tax credits recorded as a reduction of research and development expenses.

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended November 30, 2022 increased $0.09 million to $3.18 million, as compared to $3.09 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.63 million increase in expenses for legal and professional fees due to costs principally associated with the SEC investigation and class action suits described in “Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings” of our 10-Q and the Company’s commercialization plans, and a $0.14 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $0.48 million decrease in insurance costs, and a $0.26 million decrease in employee compensation costs.

  

Net Loss

 

The net loss for the three-month period ended November 30, 2022 decreased $9.09 million to $1.01 million, as compared to $10.10 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a gain on disposition of assets of $6.70 million recorded in the three-month period ended November 30, 2022 related to the Company’s sale of land in Bécancour, Québec, and the decreased research and development expenses of $2.25 million, partially offset by the increased general and administrative expenses of $0.09 million.

Research and development expense for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2022 decreased $5.62 million to $15.13 million, as compared to $20.76 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $3.58 million decrease in purchases of machinery and equipment used at the Terrebonne facility, a $2.13 million decrease in external engineering expenses for ongoing design work for our Infinite Loop™ manufacturing process, and a $1.15 million increase in tax credits recorded as a reduction of research and development expenses.

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2022 increased $8.86 to $18.23 million, as compared to $9.37 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increased stock-based compensation expense of $8.59 million, of which $7.74 million was related to the achievement of a performance milestone for 1,000,000 RSUs following the execution of a supply agreement with a customer and $0.94 million was attributable to RSU forfeitures in the same period in 2021 accounted for as a reversal of stock-based compensation, and increased professional fees of $0.70 million, mainly related to legal fees principally associated with the SEC investigation and class action suits described in “Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings” of our 10-Q and the Company’s commercialization plans. These increases were partially offset by decreased insurance costs of $0.24 million, and a $0.22 million decrease in employee compensation costs.

  

Net Loss

 

The net loss for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2022 decreased $3.92 million to $26.72 million, as compared to $30.65 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a gain on disposition of assets of $6.70 million recorded in the nine-month period ended November 30, 2022 related to the Company’s sale of land in Bécancour, Québec, and the decreased research and development expenses of $5.62 million, partially offset by the increased general and administrative expenses of $8.86 million.

About Loop Industries

Loop Industries is a technology company whose mission is to accelerate the world’s shift toward sustainable PET plastic and polyester fiber and away from our dependence on fossil fuels. Loop Industries owns patented and proprietary technology that depolymerizes no and low-value waste PET plastic and polyester fiber, including plastic bottles and packaging, carpets and textiles of any color, transparency or condition and even ocean plastics that have been degraded by the sun and salt, to its base building blocks (monomers). The monomers are filtered, purified and polymerized to create virgin-quality Loop™ branded PET resin suitable for use in food-grade packaging and polyester fiber, thus enabling our customers to meet their sustainability objectives. Loop™ PET plastic and polyester fiber can be recycled infinitely without degradation of quality, successfully closing the plastic loop. Loop Industries is contributing to the global movement towards a circular economy by reducing plastic waste and recovering waste plastic for a sustainable future.

 

Common shares of the Company are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “LOOP.”
