Loop Industries Advances Global Projects with Strategic Developments in India and Europe

Loop Industries reported Q1 fiscal 2026 results, highlighting progress in Indian and European projects. The company is advancing off-take agreements, finalizing site selection, and reducing cash operating expenses. Loop Industries faces profitability and cash flow challenges, impacting its financial performance score. The company's technical indicators offer a neutral outlook, and the negative P/E ratio underscores valuation concerns.

Loop Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOOP) reported its first-quarter (Q1) fiscal 2026 results, showcasing significant progress in its Indian and European projects. The clean technology company, which specializes in manufacturing 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic and polyester fiber, announced advances in customer off-take agreements, site selection, and engineering services agreements.

In India, Loop Industries reported progress in securing off-take agreements with apparel and consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands for its Infinite Loop™ India facility. The company has narrowed down site options to two locations in Gujarat province and expects to finalize the selection in the second fiscal quarter. In June 2025, Loop executed a $1.5 million engineering services agreement with ELITe, its India joint venture with Ester Industries Ltd., to support the detailed engineering phase of the Infinite Loop™ India facility. The estimated total investment for the facility, including the addition of a continuous polymerization line, is $176 million [1].

In Europe, Loop Industries is collaborating with Reed Societe Generale Group to finalize the selection of a site for its first Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility. The company plans to provide engineering services and a modular construction solution for the project, aiming to enhance profitability and accelerate the project's start-up.

The company's financial highlights for Q1 fiscal 2026 include a significant decrease in cash operating expenses to $2.6 million, down from $4.8 million in Q1 fiscal 2025. At the end of the quarter, Loop had total available liquidity of $12.3 million, which it believes is sufficient to fund operations and secure financing requirements for its equity contribution to ELITe and operating expenses until the start-up of the Indian facility.

Loop Industries' net loss for Q1 fiscal 2026 was $3.447 million, down from $5.189 million in Q1 fiscal 2025. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to a reduction in general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, which were partially offset by an increase in interest and other financial expenses and a loss on equity accounted investment.

Loop Industries' CEO, Daniel Solomita, expressed optimism about the progress in securing off-take agreements and the forthcoming Infinite Loop™ Europe project. He stated, "We are encouraged by the progress of our off-take discussions with apparel and CPG brands for the Infinite Loop™ India facility. The low-cost structure of this facility positions us to offer our customers a superior product at highly competitive prices."

Loop Industries will host a corporate update call on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at 8:45 am Eastern Time to discuss its progress and answer questions from investors and financial professionals.
