Published

on

~On track with execution of strategic plan; quarter highlighted by second highest positive Adjusted EBITDA result and solid progress toward completing production readiness for new products by year-end~

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 5, 2026 /CNW/ — Greenlane Renewables Inc. (“Greenlane” or the “Company”) (TSX: GRN) (FSE: 52G) (OTC: GRNWF) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. For further information on these results please see the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. All amounts reported are in Canadian dollars and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) unless otherwise stated.

Third Quarter Highlights from Continuing Operations Include:

Revenue of $12.3 million;Gross profit of $5.5 million, Gross Margin1 before amortization of $5.7 million (46% of revenue);Adjusted EBITDA2 of $2.0 million;Net income and comprehensive income of $0.4 million;Sales Order Backlog3 of $21.6 million as at September 30, 2026;Cash and cash equivalents of $12.2 million and no debt, other than payables resulting from normal course operations, as at September 30, 2026;Announced during the quarter Cascade H₂S order and service work order from an existing customer in the United States totalling $2.5 million; andExtended its $20 million standby letter of credit facility to September 30, 2027, secured by a guarantee from Export Development Canada.

“Greenlane delivered an outstanding third quarter, generating $2.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA, representing the Company’s second-highest quarterly Adjusted EBITDA result,” said Brad Douville, CEO of Greenlane. “The strong result reflects disciplined execution of our strategic plan which involves continuing sales growth in our most profitable business areas, ramping down our legacy low-margin biogas upgrading system contracts to ramp back up centered on our next-generation proprietary Cascade LF and Cascade MS product lines to add step-change profitable growth potential.”

“Panasonic is making solid progress toward achieving production readiness in Brazil, our launch market for our new product lines, by the end of the year, subject to receiving its permits. Upgrades to one of its factories is nearly complete. They have issued purchase orders for manufacturing equipment and long-lead-time bill of materials items for the first production units. They are also continuing to add new team members to support their ramp up. In the meantime, the Greenlane sales team is advancing a number of opportunities through the sales funnel, with some now in the late stages of the process. Quoting of the new products began about a year ago after the product reveal. Sales cycles in our industry are long and can be one to two years. With Brazil being the launch market, sales efforts have focused there, but a number of opportunities for the North American market are advancing through the sales funnel too. We expect to complete production readiness to serve the North American market in 2027.”

“We believe that our next generation Cascade LF and Cascade MS product lines will deliver attractive return-on-investment results to our customers with the best combination of product, price and performance. During the development cycle, our team has been agile and quick to innovate and respond to customer needs and changing market dynamics. We are fortifying our sustainable comparative advantage by capturing and protecting a growing portfolio of intellectual property. Our partnership with Panasonic enables local production in Brazil to allow our customers to avoid import tariffs and secure project financing at attractive rates. We have estimated the annual total addressable market for these new product lines in Brazil, the United States and Canada at $1.3 billion, of which we think we can capture a substantial share. With a strong balance sheet and no debt, we believe Greenlane is well positioned to realize the opportunities in front of us.”

“Our strong third-quarter financial performance was driven by increased parts and service and biogas desulfurization activity as well as improved margins on system sales,” said Stephanie Mason, CFO of Greenlane. “Revenue increased 7% compared to the same quarter last year to $12.3 million, supported by a 55% increase in parts and service revenue to $5.0 million partially driven by a significant order from an existing RNG project developer customer in the United States. Gross margin before amortization improved to 46%, compared with 39% in the prior-year quarter, reflecting a favourable project mix driven by higher parts and service and biogas desulfurization system sales, our most profitable business areas. Our biogas desulfurization systems are produced in our factory in Italy and delivered globally through our wholly-owned subsidiary Airdep S.r.l. Biogas upgrading system sales decreased in the quarter as three contracts were completed releasing approximately $0.7 million in project contingency.

“Adjusted EBITDA increased to $2.0 million up from $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, benefiting from higher gross profit and lower operating expenses. Operating expenses also reflected the capitalization of  $0.7 million in development expenditures following the achievement of key milestones for our next-generation Cascade LF and MS product lines. These results demonstrate the positive contribution from our most profitable business areas as we continue investing in new product development and commercialization.”

“We ended the quarter with $12.2 million in cash, no debt and a $20 million standby letter of credit facility, providing financial flexibility to support ongoing operations, product commercialization and future growth opportunities.”

The Market Outlook

In North America, regulatory developments continue to support the renewable natural gas (“RNG”) industry. The American Biogas Council recently welcomed new guidance from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) providing certainty for RNG producers to utilize the Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Tax Credit. The guidance incorporates several provisions intended to encourage investment in new biogas systems that convert organic waste into RNG for use as a clean transportation fuel. Previous uncertainty surrounding the application of the credit to RNG and different organic waste feedstocks had contributed to delayed investment and project development.

In Europe, biomethane continues to gain recognition as a strategic component of energy security and decarbonization. Speaking at European Biomethane Week 2026 in Brussels, EU Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jørgensen emphasized the importance of renewable molecules, including biogas and biomethane, in strengthening Europe’s energy independence while supporting climate objectives.

As noted in the Brazilian media, infrastructure investment entered a more volatile phase as the first round of the presidential election approached at the beginning of October. Market participants remained cautious as a tight presidential race drove interest and foreign exchange rate volatility, while some saw post-election asymmetries. Investors were preparing for a period in which even small shifts in perceptions of the race could trigger outsized movements. Following President Lula’s re-election, Brazil’s energy sector anticipates continued support for the country’s energy transition policies. Among the expected developments is greater coordination among government ministries and agencies to advance the energy transition, including a deepening of government support for biofuels such as biomethane.

Management’s Discussion on Financial Results

The public is invited to watch Brad Douville, Chief Executive Officer, and Stephanie Mason, Chief Financial Officer present the results through a video presentation on the Company’s Events and Presentations page located HERE.

SPECIFIED FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management evaluates the Company’s performance using a variety of measures, including “Gross Margin before amortization”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Sales Order Backlog”. The specified financial measures, including non-IFRS Accounting Standards measures and supplementary financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to or more meaningful than revenue, gross profit or net income. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The Company believes these specified financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors in measuring the financial performance and financial condition of the Company. Management uses these specified financial measures to exclude the impact of certain expenses and income that must be recognized under IFRS Accounting Standards when analyzing consolidated underlying operating performance, as the excluded items are not necessarily reflective of the Company’s underlying operating performance and make comparisons of underlying financial performance between periods difficult. From time to time, the Company may exclude additional items if it believes doing so would result in a more effective analysis of underlying operating performance. The exclusion of certain items does not imply that they are non-recurring.

Note 1 – Gross Margin before amortization is a non-IFRS measure and is defined by the Company as gross profit before amortization of intangible assets and property and equipment.

Note 2 – Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, foreign exchange, depreciation and amortization, as well as adjustments for other income (expense), value assigned to options, restricted share units and performance restricted share units granted, and transaction costs.

Note 3 – Sales Order Backlog is a non-IFRS measure and is defined by the Company as the balance of unrecognized revenue from sales contracts. The Company’s Sales Order Backlog is a snapshot in time which varies from period-to-period. The Sales Order Backlog increases by the value of new system supply contracts and is drawn down over time as these projects progress towards completion with amounts recognized in revenue (by reference to the stage of completion of each contract). Sales Order Backlog includes no amounts in connection with parts and service, given the smaller individual order values, and no amounts in connection with royalty contracts.

Published

on

By

Technology partnerships explored in Kuala Lumpur could support Malaysia’s digital transformation, strengthen local capabilities and create new commercial opportunities.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Malaysian businesses and innovation organisations explored opportunities to strengthen their technology capabilities and develop new partnerships at a Malaysia–China (Chengdu) technology matchmaking event held in Kuala Lumpur, organised by Intrinsic SEA Sdn Bhd as part of the organising team.

Bringing together nearly 100 representatives from local businesses and innovation organisations alongside 10 Chengdu technology companies, the event focused on artificial intelligence, new energy, the digital economy and technology commercialisation.

For Malaysian participants, the central opportunity was to identify technologies suited to local needs, connect with potential implementation partners and explore collaborations that could benefit businesses, entrepreneurs and the wider workforce.

Hosted by the Chengdu Municipal Science and Technology Bureau and organised by the Tianfu International Technology Transfer Centre, with support from the Southeast Asia Advanced Manufacturing Science and Technology Council, the programme featured industry presentations, technology showcases, partnership signings and targeted business discussions.

Putting Malaysian Industry Needs First

Technology cooperation delivers value when it responds to the needs of the market in which it will be used. Discussions at the event therefore provided an opportunity for Malaysian participants to share their priorities and assess how proposed solutions might work locally.

Mohd Safuan Mohd Zairi, Chief Ecosystem Officer of the Malaysian Research Accelerator for Technology and Innovation (MRANTI), outlined Malaysia’s industry landscape and cooperation opportunities. He highlighted the potential to connect technology with practical applications through local innovation platforms and advance commercialisation.

Chengdu representatives introduced their city’s innovation ecosystem, while a presentation on Shuangliu district covered its aviation hub, research resources and strengths in electronic information and energy equipment.

These exchanges helped Malaysian participants better understand the expertise available and identify potential partners for projects requiring complementary capabilities.

Exploring AI, Training and Digital Business Solutions

The company showcases introduced technologies with potential applications across Malaysian industries, from business services and recruitment to tourism, property and workforce training.

Chengdu Minto Technology presented its WorkBrain AI agent model and supporting platforms, development tools and interactive terminals. Its presentation covered applications in tourism, education and enterprise services, providing a basis for discussions on AI-enabled business solutions.

Chengdu Haotuo Technology showcased solutions combining extended reality (XR) and AI, including immersive experiences, disaster and safety training, industrial training and digital exhibition spaces. These technologies opened discussions on potential applications in employee learning, visitor experiences and interactive business environments.

Malaysian companies also brought their own solutions and partnership priorities to the table.

Carijob Holdings presented AI-enabled recruitment and human resource services, including talent matching, résumé analysis, recruitment communication and application tracking. The company expressed interest in connecting Chengdu’s technical expertise with Malaysian businesses, educational institutions and talent networks through recruitment technology pilots and talent development.

Defendian Global introduced an integrated AI governance and cybersecurity platform, highlighting needs relating to data protection, impersonation and fraud risks, and security awareness and skills training.

The exchanges placed Malaysian companies in an active role as technology partners, local solution providers and contributors to future project development.

Partnerships with a Local Application Focus

Two agreements signed during the event established specific directions for collaboration in Malaysia.

Chengdu Minto Technology and Malaysia’s Pro Tech Info Sdn Bhd signed a strategic cooperation agreement covering an OPC technology foundation. Planned activities include AI entrepreneur recruitment, training and certification, and AI agent project delivery within an OPC community.

For Malaysia, these proposed activities could create pathways for local entrepreneurs and practitioners to develop practical AI skills and explore opportunities in technology services.

Sichuan Jianshan Technology and Malaysia’s Omnico Solutions Sdn Bhd signed an agreement covering digital property sales software services and channel cooperation. The partnership aims to support the localisation and application of digital sales gallery solutions in Malaysia.

Its progress will depend on further technical planning and implementation arrangements, including adapting the solution to local business requirements.

Both agreements provide a starting point for collaboration, with the next stage focused on translating commitments into workable projects.

Building Connections Beyond the Event

More than 40 targeted business discussions took place, resulting in 11 preliminary expressions of cooperation interest. Participants explored product applications, technical partnerships, distribution channels and project implementation.

These conversations allowed Malaysian businesses to communicate their requirements directly, assess potential partners and identify areas for further technical engagement.

The ASEAN AI Centre of Excellence also expressed interest in Chengdu’s AI industry and indicated plans to organise a business delegation to China (Chengdu) in 2027 to explore technologies with potential relevance to Malaysia.

The longer-term value of these exchanges will be measured by their local outcomes: useful solutions, stronger skills, successful implementation and sustainable business relationships.

By combining Malaysian market knowledge and industry networks with complementary technology expertise, the partnerships explored in Kuala Lumpur could help local businesses develop new capabilities and commercial opportunities. Continued engagement will be essential to ensuring that cooperation delivers practical benefits for Malaysia’s businesses and talent.

Longbridge Appoints Henry Zhong as Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Longbridge Group, an AI-native financial technology company, today announced the appointment of Henry Zhong as Chief Executive Officer of Long Bridge HK Limited (“Longbridge Hong Kong”), effective immediately. Zhong will lead the Group’s securities business in Hong Kong and drive its strategic development.

Zhong joins from SPDB International, where he most recently served as Deputy Chief Executive Officer. His appointment follows that of Gavin Chia as Singapore and Regional CEO, Southeast Asia, in May 2026. Together they form a leadership team covering Longbridge’s two core growth corridors in Asia.

A Regional Platform Built for Scale

Asia is home to some of the world’s deepest pools of investable wealth and most active investor communities. Hong Kong sits at its centre: an international financial hub, a gateway for cross border capital and one of Asia’s most mature regulatory environments.

Investor behaviour across the region is changing quickly. Portfolios now span markets, asset classes and trading sessions, and investors have more information to process than ever before. They want platforms that offer market access together with institutional quality research, strong technology and tools that support well informed decisions.

Zhong’s appointment reflects Longbridge’s ambition to build the trusted infrastructure that connects investors, financial institutions, AI and global financial markets with Hong Kong at its core. It also marks the Group’s move into a new stage of growth, in which its technology and product innovation are matched by the governance, risk discipline and regulatory standards expected of a long established financial institution.

“As Longbridge enters its next phase, we are bringing in leaders who have built and run licensed businesses inside major financial institutions,” said Nowa Zhu, Group CEO & Co-Founder of Longbridge Group. “Henry has a strong track record in leading and scaling investment banking and securities businesses, as well as taking businesses from licence application to scale. He understands the needs of sophisticated investors, and he has operated at the highest regulatory standards throughout his career. That combination is exactly what we need to grow at scale, responsibly and sustainably.”

“Henry’s institutional experience, combined with Longbridge’s technology and AI capabilities, strengthens our foundation for long term growth in Hong Kong.”

A Banking Veteran Bets on AI-Native Investing

Zhong brings nearly two decades of experience spanning commercial banking, investment banking and securities, overseeing regulated activities across investment banking, securities brokerage, private wealth, research and FICC businesses.

That experience gave him a front-row view of how quickly financial services are changing. AI is reshaping how research is produced, how trading and advisory workflows operate, and how investors find, assess and act on opportunities. In his view, the next generation of financial leaders will be those that can combine institutional discipline and regulatory rigour with technology at scale.

“I have spent my career building licensed financial businesses and have seen firsthand where the traditional model is being redefined,” said Henry Zhong, CEO of Longbridge Hong Kong. “Investors today expect intelligence, speed and transparency that conventional platforms were not designed to deliver. Longbridge was built for this moment, with AI at its core and a clear commitment to operating to the highest regulatory standards. I chose Longbridge because it is where institutional experience and technology can create the most value for investors, and that is where I want to build the next chapter of my career.”

“Sustainable growth in financial services is built on trust, and trust is built on robust risk management and compliance. The role of AI is not to make decisions for investors, but to give them better information and better tools so they can act with greater confidence,” said Zhong.

Bringing Longbridge’s AI Capabilities to the Region

Longbridge builds AI into its investment platform across research, market analysis and trading workflows, rather than treating it as a standalone feature. In 2025, the company became the world-first to introduce pre-market trading for selected U.S. stock options. In July 2026, it unveiled a broader suite of AI powered investment products and open technology platforms for investors and developers.

A key part of Zhong’s mandate is to bring these capabilities to wider group of investors. Products and services will be designed around local investor needs and delivered in accordance with the regulatory requirements of each market in which Longbridge operates.

His appointment is part of Longbridge’s continued investment in leadership, technology and regulated businesses across Asia as the Group scales its regional presence.

About Longbridge Group

Longbridge Group is an AI-native financial technology group building trusted infrastructure that connects investors, financial institutions, AI and global financial markets.

Its integrated ecosystem comprises Longbridge Securities, an AI-powered online brokerage; LongPort, an institutional-grade trading technology and infrastructure provider offering multi-market and multi-asset solutions; and Longbridge AI, a next-generation AI-native financial data and investing platform. Together, they are redefining how individuals and institutions access, understand and interact with financial markets.

Founded in 2019, Longbridge operates licensed financial businesses across multiple jurisdictions. It holds 22 financial regulatory licences or qualifications across the US, Hong Kong, Singapore and other markets, and has secured strategic investment from leading global financial institutions and investment firms.

Longbridge’s vision is to make investing a seamless part of how people use AI every day by building trusted infrastructure for the future of intelligent investing.
