NEXE Innovations reported October 30 that first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue increased 10.5%, while its net loss narrowed 33.7%.
The Canadian compostable-materials company said the quarter, which ended August 31, included initial deliveries to Just Us! Coffee Roasters and the onboarding of a U.S. coffee chain with locations in New York City and Boston.
Sales growth did not translate into a positive gross margin. NEXE reported a gross loss for the quarter, compared with gross income a year earlier, as its cost of goods sold increased 73.7%.
Management attributed the higher costs to customer onboarding, packaging, a different product mix, depreciation classification and inventory write-downs. It said the improvement in net loss primarily reflected lower depreciation, including a change in depreciation estimates.
NEXE said it expects annual compostable-pod volumes to exceed the upper end of its previously announced range of 10 million to 15 million. That remains a management forecast based on current customer interest and opportunities in progress.
The company also disclosed talks concerning potential distribution to a national hotel chain. Discussions are not confirmed orders or completed distribution arrangements.
