VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hypercharge Networks Corp. (TSXV: HC; OTC: HCNWF; FSE: PB7) (the “Company” or “Hypercharge”), a leading, smart electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provider and network operator, is announcing the release of its unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, and related management’s discussion and analysis. All dollar figures are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.

“Hypercharge reported third quarter fiscal 2026 results demonstrating continued revenue growth, expanding gross margins, and meaningful loss reduction as the Company advances toward profitability.

Revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased to $9.7 million, driven by growth in installation, subscription, and other service-related revenue streams. Year-to-date revenue increased 33% compared to the prior period, supported by a mix that increasingly favours service and subscription revenue, including installation, and higher-margin Level 2 deployments, which supported improved margin performance and continued progress toward profitability.

Revenue in the quarter was $2.6 million. The year-over-year comparison reflects elevated DC fast charging equipment deliveries in the prior-year period, which are typically lower margin than Level 2 and service-led deployments.

Gross margin improved to 34% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, reflecting a favourable revenue mix during the quarter, including increased contribution from service and Level 2 charging deployments, consistent with the Company’s long-term strategy to expand higher-margin offerings.

Charging station deliveries continued strong across our core segments, with 526 charging ports delivered in the quarter and the Hypercharge app growing to more than 41,300 registered users, up over 80% year-over-year.

Work also continued on expanding programs that help customers lower electrification costs and deepen the value of the Hypercharge Network over time. Our professional services continued to scale through project design, installation management, and service and warranty offerings that support customers from planning through long-term operations. Alongside this, carbon credit management continued to advance under Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations, with proceeds recorded and managed in line with reinvestment requirements that support eligible infrastructure and initiatives that reduce the cost of EV ownership.

The market continues to evolve, with sales cycles and competitive pricing pressure in some areas, alongside new policy developments that are expected to support demand. In February 2026, Canada announced new measures intended to improve EV affordability, including the return of consumer incentives and additional initiatives aimed at supporting domestic EV adoption and infrastructure investment. These developments are expected to provide incremental support for EV demand through 2026 and beyond. The Company remains focused on disciplined execution, capital efficiency, and strengthening its competitive position as the market evolves.

Our results this quarter demonstrate the strength of our evolving business model. As service and recurring revenue represent a larger portion of total revenue, we are seeing the potential for margin expansion and improving operating leverage. While quarterly results may vary based on project mix, this quarter highlights the impact of higher-margin service and Level 2 deployments. With the launch of Hypercorp Energy Solutions, the Company's new electrification offering, and continued network growth, we are building a diversified electrification platform positioned for long-term value creation. The Company continues progressing toward operating break-even.”

- David Bibby, President and CEO of Hypercharge
