VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hypercharge Networks Corp. (TSXV: HC; OTC: HCNWF; FSE: PB7) (the "Company" or "Hypercharge"), a leading EV charging operator, is announcing the release of its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, and related management discussion and analysis. All dollar figures are in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated.
"Fiscal 2026 was a defining year for Hypercharge, with much stronger economics and disciplined execution shown in the record annual revenue of $10.9 million, record gross profit of $3.0 million, and record service and subscription revenue of $2.8 million. Gross margin increased five percentage points to 28%, while comprehensive loss narrowed 38% to $2.7 million, a $1.6 million improvement year-over-year and meaningful progress in closing the gap toward profitability.
Revenue increased despite tariff-related uncertainty, broader economic headwinds in the Canadian marketplace, and slower multi-family residential development activity in some markets. The year-over-year comparison in revenue also reflects that the proceeds from the sale of Clean Fuel Regulations $(CFR)$ carbon credits were recorded as other income in fiscal 2026. Even with the macro challenges, Hypercharge delivered record revenue while reducing operating expenses, demonstrating continued growth alongside disciplined cost management.
The improvement in our financial performance was driven by a focus on higher-margin Level 2 charging, installation, professional services, subscriptions, and recurring revenue. Service and subscription revenue increased 292% in fiscal 2026, helping drive a 34% increase in gross profit and demonstrating the margin potential of the business as these revenue streams become a larger part of our mix. We ended the year with more than 7,800 charging ports sold and over 46,700 registered users, representing growth of 42% and 86%, respectively, and delivered 500 Level 2 charging stations to Oakridge Park, one of Canada's largest redevelopment projects.
In fiscal 2026, we strengthened our carbon credit program, an important and growing revenue opportunity that improves the economics of our charging network and supports reinvestment in future growth. We also advanced several other strategic initiatives, including the launch of Hypercharge Halo$(TM)$, expansion of our professional services capabilities, and continued development of partnerships that extend our reach across North America.
Following year-end in May 2026, the acquisition of Eddie from Hydro-Québec's AXSO has since added more than 2,700 ports to our network and expanded our recurring revenue base and presence in Québec. As the acquisition closed after fiscal year-end, its contribution is not reflected in these results and will begin to appear in our fiscal 2027 first-quarter results, enhancing Hypercharge's network significantly and increasing recurring revenue in the new fiscal year. We also received $1.74 million in cash proceeds in June 2026 from the sale of carbon credits generated through Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations ("CFR") for charging activity during the 2025 calendar year which represents an increase of over 600% compared with the $0.23 million in CFR proceeds we received for prior year.
Hypercharge enters fiscal 2027 with significant tailwinds on the back of the strongest revenue, gross profit, and network base in its history. Profitable growth is our focus as we look ahead and our priorities to realize this mission remain clear: increase recurring revenue, expand margins, maintain discipline in capital allocation, and strategic M&A that converts our growing scale into stronger operating performance as we continue advancing toward profitability."
- David Bibby, President and CEO of Hypercharge

$3,040,773 for the year ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $765,201
(34%) compared to the prior fiscal year. The improvement reflects higher
revenue recognition and continued margin performance across key segments.
-- Record Service and Subscription Revenue: The Company achieved record
service and subscription revenue of $2,791,884 for the year ended March
31, 2026. This represents an increase of $2,079,036 (292%) compared to
the year ended March 31, 2025, driven by a significant increase in
installation revenue.
-- Record Annual Revenue: The Company achieved its highest annual revenue in
history, reporting recognized revenue of $10,931,591 for the year ended

disciplined execution, and successful delivery across the Company's core
markets.
-- Gross Margin Growth: The Company reported gross margin of 28% for the
year ended March 31, 2026, an increase of 5 percentage points compared to
23% for the year ended March 31, 2025, driven by a higher mix of service
and recurring revenue, increased Level 2 charging equipment volume, and
improved revenue mix toward higher-margin deployments.

United States, an increase of over 42% compared to March 31, 2025.

Solutions, a new energy services initiative intended to broaden the
Company's offering beyond EV charging into integrated energy solutions,
including battery energy storage systems, advanced energy management
software, and professional services.
-- Carbon Credit Program: Advanced the Company's participation in carbon
credit markets, supporting an important revenue opportunity tied to
eligible charging activity across the Company's network. The program is
intended to help improve the economics of EV charging infrastructure
deployment by enabling proceeds from eligible credits to be reinvested in
EV infrastructure and customer programs that support broader EV adoption.
-- Leadership and Governance: Strengthened the Company's leadership and
governance through the appointments of Tony Geheran and Malcolm Davidson
to the Board of Directors, Chris Koch as Chief Operating Officer, Kyle
Moncrief, CFA, as Vice President, Corporate Development and Financial
Planning & Analysis, and Rory Gattens as General Manager, West. These
changes added experience across operations, finance, governance,
corporate development, strategic partnerships, and capital markets
outreach.

non-brokered private placement in April 2025 for aggregate gross proceeds
of $1,892,085 (first tranche completed in March 2025) and a LIFE Offering

operational growth and sales capabilities.
Financial Highlights (for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026):
The Company recognized annual revenue of $10,931,591, an increase of $876,345 (9%) compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, representing the highest annual revenue in the Company's history.
Operating expenses totaled $6,028,552 for the year ended March 31, 2026, a 9% decrease compared to the prior year. The decrease primarily reflected lower consulting and professional fees, share-based payments, and wages and benefits within general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher sales and marketing personnel costs and product design expenses.
The Company's gross profit increased to $3,040,773, a 34% increase compared to fiscal 2025. Gross profit percentage increased from 23% to 28%, primarily due to a higher contribution from installation and service-related revenue, improved product mix, and recurring revenue contributions.
Net and comprehensive loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, improved 38% to $2,674,840, or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net and comprehensive loss of $4,311,253, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share, during the year ended March 31, 2025.
Financial Highlights (for the three months ended March 31, 2026):
The Company recognized quarterly revenue of $1,273,447, a decrease of $1,526,156 (55%) compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a purposeful shift in product mix, as we targeted higher margin Level 2 charging deployments, which have lower ticket prices for installation. The prior year also had large DC fast charger deployments that were higher than typical quarterly volumes, further explaining the year-over-year decrease compared to the prior year.
Operating expenses totalled $2,102,031 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a 21% increase from the prior-year period. The increase primarily reflected higher office and administrative costs, consulting and professional fees, share-based payments, and product design and development costs, partially offset by lower sales and marketing expenses.
Gross profit for the quarter decreased to $477,136, down from $540,040 in the same period last year. Gross profit percentage increased from 19% to 37%, driven by higher-margin service revenue representing a greater proportion of total revenue and lower EV charging equipment sales.
Net and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased 15% to $1,398,040, compared to a net and comprehensive loss of $1,214,729 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company's basic and diluted loss per share improved to ($0.01) from ($0.02).
