Star Metro - NXT Energy Solutions Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results

Bruce G. Wilcox, CEO of NXT, commented, "The company's revenue performance for the first nine months of 2025 marks a dramatic turnaround from the prior year. Year-to-date SFD®-related revenue reached $14.21 million versus $0.60 million for YTD 2024. This growth was driven by two key projects: the African SFD® survey and the Southeast Asia SFD® survey which highlights a significant increase in commercial activity and project execution. NXT achieved a significant improvement in bottom-line performance, reporting a YTD 2025 net loss of $1.08 million, a reduction from the $6.28 million net loss in YTD 2024.

The YTD 2025 result was heavily skewed by a non-cash accounting charge. The company recognized a loss of $5.83 million on the fair value remeasurement of its convertible debentures. This charge is a direct result of the significant increase in NXT's common share price during the period, which increased the liability value of the conversion feature. This accounting requirement masks a much stronger underlying operational performance. Excluding this non-cash accounting charge, the Company's pre-tax operational performance would shift from a loss of $1.08 million to a profit of approximately $4.75 million, dramatically illustrating the positive impact of the year's commercial success. Year to date approximately US$5.72 million, or 92.7% of the debentures have been converted into approximately 29.4 million common shares.

I am also pleased to announce that our team has deployed to Pakistan to commence the data acquisition phase of the SFD® survey for AL-Haj Enterprises Private Limited ("AEPL"). We expect to deliver NXT's interpretations and recommendations during the fourth quarter of 2025."
