VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SHARC International Systems Inc. (CSE: SHRC) (FSE: IWIA) (OTCQB: INTWF) ("SHARC Energy" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has filed financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. All figures are in Canadian Dollars and in accordance with IFRS unless otherwise stated.

Third Quarter and Year to Date (YTD) Financial Highlights:

   -- Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 ("YTD 2025") is 
      $2.69 million (M), representing 124% of the full year revenue in 2024 and 
      a 15% increase over the $2.34M of revenue reported in the nine months 
      ended September 30, 2024 ("YTD 2024"). Revenue increased 6% to $0.83M for 
      the three months ended September 30, 2025 ("Q3 2025") compared to $0.79M 
      reported for the three months ended September 30, 2024 ("Q3 2024"). 
 
   -- As of December 1, 2025, the Company has a Sales Pipeline1 of 16.6M and 
      Sales Order Backlog2 of $3.4M. This represents a $0.25M decrease or 7% 
      decrease in Sales Order Backlog since August 29, 2025 disclosure. Sales 
      Pipeline saw a nominal increase since August 29, 2025 disclosure 
      reflecting the deliberate efforts by the Company to refill the pipeline 
      once projects convert to the order book. The combined pipeline showed a 
      nominal decrease of 1% or $0.2M from the previous disclosure on August 
      29, 2025. The $3.4M Sales Order Backlog, which is estimated to be 
      converted to revenue within an average of 12 months from disclosure, 
      represents a 58% improvement compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 
      revenue of $2.17M. The Company continues to observe the maturity of its 
      Sales Pipeline leading to improved revenue consistency and reduced 
      volatility, providing a strong platform to scale and grow. 
 
   -- During Q3 2025, the Company reported a loss of $0.74M and an Adjusted 
      EBITDA3 loss of $0.5M. This compares to a loss of $0.83M and an Adjusted 
      EBITDA loss of $0.64M in the comparative quarter representing a 12% 
      reduction and 22% improvement, respectively. 
 
   -- During YTD 2025, the Company reported a loss of $2.47M and an Adjusted 
      EBITDA loss of $1.53M. This contrasts to a loss of $2.31M and an Adjusted 
      EBITDA loss of $1.65M in the comparative period representing a 7% 
      increase and 7% improvement, respectively. 
 
   -- Gross margins for Q3 2025 and YTD 2025 were 39% and 38%, respectively, 
      compared to 32% and 37% reported in Q3 2024 and YTD 2024, respectively. 
      Management remains optimistic that this margin range aligns with our 
      expectations for the coming quarters but the margin percentage varies 
      dependent on sales mix and stage of completion of each project. 

Michael Albertson, Chief Executive Officer and President of SHARC Energy, said, "2025 marks a turning point for SHARC Energy. With $2.69 million in revenue year to date achieved, we are on a clear trajectory to exceed $3 million by year end which will surpass every prior revenue milestone in the Company's history. This momentum underscores the accelerating adoption of SHARC technology across the markets we serve and sets the stage for a transformational 2026."

"Reaching $3 million in 2025 would further validate the strong correlation between backlog expansion and revenue growth. Based on our historical cadence, our Sales Order Backlog turns to revenue in roughly a year, subject to project mix, providing a clearer line of sight into our future performance."

Mr. Albertson continued, "Our Sales Order Backlog continues to evolve in both volume and project diversity. The large-scale district energy projects we are currently in final negotiation on represent an entirely new tier of opportunity for SHARC Energy--projects that individually exceed or rival our existing backlog alone. We expect these wins to meaningfully reshape our growth profile in 2026 and beyond."

"We are currently entering several new market sectors, ranging from wastewater treatment plants and universities to utilities, correctional facilities, and data centers, with our evolving product portfolio. These sectors represent meaningful diversification opportunities for our backlog and future revenues, and many offer fewer regulatory barriers and faster sales cycles. We expect to close new business in these areas by the next reporting date. We are very excited for the continuous growth of the Company."
