  • Nano One Reports Q2 2025 Results and Summarizes Corporate Developments

    Nano One Reports Q2 2025 Results and Summarizes Corporate Developments

    Q2 2025 Results and Subsequent Events

    • Total net assets of $23.2 million and working capital of $22.8 million as at Q2 2025, including an additional $3.6 million in non-dilutive government funding received in Q2 2025 from existing programs.

    • Company sets stage for potential U.S. growth with ALTA and being most OBBB ready solution

    • IEA names Nano One a top LFP innovator, meeting demand of global push to localize

    • Nano One begins trading on the U.S. OTCQB under the ticker “NNOMF”

    • Results from the AGM held on May 23, 2025 were announced with all matters presented for shareholder approval being approved.

    VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 13, 2025 / Nano One® Materials Corp. (“Nano One” or the “Company”), a technology company changing how the world makes cathode active materials for lithium-ion batteries, has filed its condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”), and management’s discussion & analysis (“MD&A”) as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (“Q2 2025”) and is pleased to provide a summary and an update on subsequent events.

    Q2 2025 – Financial Position and Subsequent Funding

    As at June 30, 2025, the Company’s total net assets and working capital were $23.2 million and $22.8 million, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents were $23.0 million.

    In Q2 2025, total proceeds of $3.6 million were received from drawdowns on government programs (further to $26.5 million in proceeds received in Q1 2025 inclusive of the sale and leaseback transaction). Approximately $25.0 million remains in reimbursements to claim over the next two years from contracted government programs.

    The Company reported a net loss of $2.8 million for Q2 2025 with proceeds from government grants and other items included within other income partially offsetting operating expenses for the quarter.

    The use of cash in operating activities, capital expenditures, and facility lease and other payments for the quarter contributed to the $2.6 million decrease in total assets in Q2 2025 from Q1 2025.

    Selection for launch of ALTA (Arkansas Lithium Technology Accelerator) and IEA naming Nano One a top LFP innovator

    On July 15, 2025, the Company announced it had been selected to join ALTA, America’s first lithium and battery supply chain accelerator. Participating in ALTA positions Nano One as a strategic contributor to lithium-ion battery supply chain independence and reinforces Nano One’s position as a national strategic asset in lithium-ion battery production – fortifying a secure, localized supply chain for defense and commercial markets. It also highlights Nano One’s continued relevance to energy growth and national security. Nano One is the only One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB)-ready solution for LFP-linking upstream mineral extraction to downstream cell manufacturing.

    Arkansas’ goals align with Nano One’s multi-jurisdictional strategy, leveraging the Candiac Facility as a hub, accelerator and launchpad for validation, commercialization, and large-scale growth in the U.S., Canada and beyond.

    Nano One is one of only three companies selected for ALTA’s inaugural cohort, alongside innovators in lithium processing and geothermal deployment. The accelerator is backed by Standard Lithium, the Walton Family Foundation, and a network of Arkansas-based producers, academic institutions, and government partners. Participation in ALTA creates opportunities for partnerships and strategic visibility in the U.S.

    Additionally, at the 2025 Canada-EU Summit, joint commitments were signed to co-invest in critical mineral infrastructure, with an emphasis on defence and AI infrastructure localization to enhance resilience and reduce strategic dependencies. Canada also reaffirmed its pledge to meet NATO’s new 5% of GDP defence spending target by 2035.

    These coordinated efforts reflect a growing consensus: building a competitive and resilient battery supply chain will require process innovation, coordinated investment, and speed of execution to reduce dependencies that make the world vulnerable to market volatility and global disruption. The International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2025 echoed this, naming Nano One among a select group of companies developing “alternative methods of producing LFP” to “reduce dependency on Chinese supply chains.”

    Trading on the U.S. OTCQB

    Nano One began trading on the U.S. OTCQB under the ticker NNOMF on July 14, 2025, enhancing visibility and accessibility to U.S. investors as it expands commercial efforts and builds partnerships across North America.

    AGM

    The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the shareholders of Nano One Materials Corp. was held on May 23, 2025. On May 26, 2025, Nano One announced that all matters presented for shareholder approval at the meeting were approved including the election of Directors of the Company for the ensuing year, and the appointment of Auditors.

    For a more detailed discussion of Nano One’s Q2 2025 interim results, please refer to the Company’s financial statements, and MD&A, which are available at www.sedarplus.ca.

  • Search Influence Earns 9th Inclusion on 2025 Inc. 5000 List, Highlights AI SEO Expertise as a Driver of Sustained Growth

    Search Influence Earns 9th Inclusion on 2025 Inc. 5000 List, Highlights AI SEO Expertise as a Driver of Sustained Growth

    Search Influence, a New Orleans-based digital marketing agency, has been named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, ranking 2,211. This marks the ninth time the company has appeared on the list since first being recognized, placing it among a select group of independent businesses achieving repeated national recognition for sustained growth.

    The Inc. 5000 list, compiled annually by Inc. magazine, ranks companies based on percentage revenue growth over a three-year period. To qualify, businesses must be privately held, for-profit, and based in the United States, with minimum revenue requirements met in the base and most recent years. This year’s honorees represent a broad range of industries and reflect the resilience of independent businesses navigating shifting market conditions.

    Founded in 2006, Search Influence has grown steadily by adapting to significant changes in search technology and consumer behavior. In recent years, the company has integrated artificial intelligence into its search optimization practices, a discipline widely referred to as AI SEO. These strategies are designed to help clients appear in both traditional search rankings and in emerging AI-generated overviews that are becoming increasingly common in search results.

    “This is our ninth time on the Inc. 5000, and it’s a testament to the adaptability and commitment of our team,” said Will Scott, CEO of Search Influence and recognized in the industry as an AI SEO expert. “While the search landscape has changed dramatically, leaning into AI SEO has helped our clients maintain visibility and growth, even as many marketing agencies have faced challenges. In areas like higher education marketing, where competition for attention is intense, these approaches have made a meaningful difference.”

    AI SEO requires optimizing content so it is understood and surfaced not only by traditional search algorithms but also by artificial intelligence systems that deliver synthesized answers. This involves an emphasis on semantic relevance, entity recognition, and content structures that align with how AI models interpret and present information. Search Influence applies these principles alongside its work in paid advertising, analytics, and content strategy.

    The agency’s sustained growth over nine Inc. 5000 appearances reflects its ability to respond to industry changes. In higher education, for example, Search Influence has developed targeted Higher Ed SEO strategies that incorporate AI SEO principles to help institutions connect with prospective students in the ways they now search for academic programs and campus experiences.

    Industry analysts note that the marketing sector has undergone significant change in recent years. Agencies have had to contend with evolving technology, tighter budgets, and a greater demand for measurable performance. By adopting new search optimization methods early and refining them over time, Search Influence has positioned itself to navigate these challenges.

    The Inc. 5000 list offers a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the U.S. economy’s most dynamic segment — independent small and mid-sized businesses. Past honorees include companies that have become widely recognized brands, and repeat appearances on the list are considered an indicator of sustained operational and strategic success.

  • Dr. Roy Levitt, Executive Chairman of Adolore BioTherapeutics, Presented at the Next Generation Gene Therapy Vectors Summit

    Dr. Roy Levitt, Executive Chairman of Adolore BioTherapeutics, Presented at the Next Generation Gene Therapy Vectors Summit

    DELRAY BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2025 / Adolore BioTherapeutics, Inc., (“Company” or “Adolore”) announced that Roy Clifford Levitt, MD, Clinical Professor at the University of Miami, Principal Investigator and Program Director of the NIH, NINDS, HEAL UH3 Award supporting ADB-102 development for the treatment of chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis, (“OA”), and founder and Executive Chairman of Adolore presented the Company’s breakthrough non-opioid gene therapy programs for chronic pain at the Next Generation Gene Therapy Vectors Summit on July 31, 2025 in Boston.

    Dr. Levitt presented the latest safety and efficacy data on Adolore’s replication defective, disease-free, HSV viral vectors during his talk entitled: “Rethinking Vector Choice: Utilizing Optimized HSV to Enhance Safety & Efficacy”. He presented evidence of long-lasting (>7 months), profound analgesia (equivalent to high doses of opioids) for their HSV gene therapy with regional administration (single intra-articular knee joint injection) in model systems. Additional data demonstrated excellent cellular tropism (neuronal specificity), biodistribution, and shedding characteristics. Dr. Levitt also highlighted how regional administration minimizes off-target effects, improving safety, efficacy, and minimizes immunogenicity.

    Adolore is advancing two preclinical development programs: a lead program for knee pain due to OA and a program for erythromelalgia, (“EM”), an orphan neuropathic pain indication for which there are no FDA-approved treatments. EM is a rare, heritable, chronic and debilitating pain disease.

    In model systems, replication-defective, disease-free, herpes simplex virus (rdHSV) gene therapy expressing an analgesic carbonic anhydrase-8 (CA8*) peptide variant corrects somatosensory hyperexcitability by activating Kv7 voltage-gated potassium channels, thereby producing profound, long-lasting analgesia. Adolore has achieved proof-of-concept in animal models, validating the mechanism of action in knee pain from OA and EM.

    About Adolore BioTherapeutics, Inc.

    Adolore BioTherapeutics, Inc., is a biotechnology company focused on developing novel therapies for treating chronic pain using a revolutionary intra-cellular replication-defective HSV (rdHSV) drug delivery platform that is disease-free, non-toxic, and permits localized peripheral nervous system delivery of proprietary biotherapeutics. This rdHSV gene therapy technology incorporates an established re-dosing strategy and an excellent safety profile. HSV vectors are known for their stability and prolonged gene expression, providing an excellent basis for the long-term treatment of chronic pain conditions and neurological disorders. Our best-in-class CA8* programs are long-acting, locally acting gene therapies that are opioid-free Disease-Modifying Anti-Pain therapies (DMAPs) designed to treat many forms of chronic pain as well as therapies for epilepsy and hearing loss.

    Leveraging its innovative gene therapy vectors expressing CA8* analgesic peptides (ADLR-1001), Adolore is currently advancing two preclinical development programs: ADB-101 for the treatment of patients’ chronic pain caused by erythromelalgia, an orphan disease, and ADB-102, their lead program for the treatment of patients with chronic pain caused by knee OA. Based on substantial compelling preclinical data generated to date, the Company is progressing these programs toward IND filings and first-in-human clinical studies. Adolore has two additional programs available for partnering: ADB-104 for Drug-Resistant Refractory Focal Epilepsy, ADB-105 for Acute Severe Hearing Loss and ADB-106 for Chronic Eye Pain.

  • InfraWeeder Revolutionizes Weed Control with Swiss-Engineered, Chemical-Free Infrared Technology

    InfraWeeder, created by Brühwiler Maschinen AG, is making waves with its innovative approach to weed control. They focus on the environmental and practical benefits of using infrared technology for this purpose. As a Swiss company deeply committed to sustainability and new ideas, they stand out with their chemical-free method for getting rid of weeds effectively and quietly.

    The InfraWeeder operates with a thermal system that produces radiant heat above 1000°C. This extreme heat directly targets weed and seed structures, disrupting their protein cells and causing them to wilt quickly. Since this method doesn’t rely on chemicals, it meets the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions in both landscaping and agriculture. It’s a great fit for anyone taking care of public spaces, gardens, or areas where the environmental impact needs to be minimal.

    Because this technology doesn’t use chemicals, it doesn’t release pollutants, making it perfect for maintaining ecological health. Places like public gardens and parks can benefit greatly from it.

  • Local Cleaning Experts Answer: “What Is the Best Thing to Deodorize Carpets With?”

    Local Cleaning Experts Answer: “What Is the Best Thing to Deodorize Carpets With?”

    Cambridge, ON – For many homeowners, carpet odours are a frustrating challenge that can affect the entire atmosphere of a living space. Whether it’s pet-related, food-based, or the slow build-up of moisture and dust, lingering smells are hard to ignore. That’s why KCS Kitchener Cleaning Services, a leading residential cleaning company serving the Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph area, has published an informative guide that tackles the commonly searched question: “What is the best thing to deodorize carpets with?”

    The article, titled “What is the Best Thing to Deodorize Carpets With?” dives deep into practical and affordable options homeowners can use to freshen up their carpets using common household items, with insights rooted in years of professional cleaning experience.

    Expert Solutions from a Trusted Local Brand: The KCS team begins the article with one of the most time-tested and reliable methods: baking soda. Known for its ability to neutralise both acidic and basic odours, baking soda is a natural and pet-safe option that homeowners can use as often as needed. The guide outlines the simple process: sprinkle, wait overnight, and vacuum thoroughly.

    Also featured is a vinegar and water solution, praised for its ability to neutralise odour-causing bacteria without adding artificial scents or residue. The article encourages the use of natural, non-toxic solutions wherever possible, an approach that aligns with KCS’s environmentally conscious values.

    For readers seeking a fragrant boost, KCS recommends pairing baking soda with essential oils such as lavender, lemon, and eucalyptus. These oils not only deodorise but create an uplifting ambience in the home. Lavender promotes calm, lemon brightens the room, and eucalyptus adds both freshness and antimicrobial benefits.

    Quick fixes, such as carpet deodorising powders, are covered for convenience, while steam cleaning with a deodoriser and professional carpet cleaning services are recommended for deep or persistent odours.

    Founded and located in Cambridge, Ontario, KCS Kitchener Cleaning Services is more than just a cleaning company; it’s a local, family-run business built on trust, consistency, and exceptional care. With a name inspired by the rich heritage of Kitchener, the company is represented by the historic clock tower in Victoria Park, a symbol of reliability and community roots.

  • Tecogen Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    Tecogen Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    NORTH BILLERICA, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2025 / Tecogen Inc. (NYSE American:TGEN), a leading manufacturer of clean energy products, reported revenues of $7.29 million and net loss of $1.47 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to revenues of $4.73 million, and a net loss of $1.54 million in 2024. Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $1.64 million at June 30, 2025.

    Abinand Rangesh, CEO of Tecogen, commented that “since our last earnings call we have made tremendous progress with our data center strategy and achieved several key milestones. We received our first LOI for a great pilot project. This is for a 100+MW data center with the potential to be a 500+MW site. The customer expects to evaluate 6 STx chillers during the first phase of the project. If successful, more chillers will be used in subsequent phases. We expect the LOI to convert to a PO later this year and we hope to grow with this customer.

    In the last three months, our marketing has generated great leads. We have now quoted two projects for 60 to 100 chillers each. We have multiple other projects that are earlier stage but have similar potential. We’ve also received feedback on how customers are making purchasing decisions. During the call, I will address what these are and the steps we are taking so we can convert these leads into orders.

    The only setback this quarter was the reduction in the gross profit margin which drove the net loss. Product margin was lower because we started shipping the hybrid air-cooled chiller. As expected, the first few units had higher costs due to low volume material purchasing and as our team gained experience building the product. We expect the hybrid chiller margin to increase with volume production. The other products shipped this quarter had similar margins as previous quarters.

    Overall service margin declined because of one region – Manhattan and NJ. This was in part due to bulk oil system upgrades for our InVerde fleet. This has a short term impact on profitability but increases service intervals by 150% to 200%. We also experienced increased overtime hours. During the call, we will discuss the new protocols we have implemented to restore this territory to profitability.

    Given the size of potential projects, the ability to manufacture and ship significant volumes of chillers is critical. We have hired talent in manufacturing and engineering. The additional staffing was a significant factor in our increased operating expenses, which increased by 9% in Q2 2025 compared to last year. To provide the necessary capital to scale our business, we also raised $18.2 million in July. The capital raised will be used to increase factory output and for marketing. I will share more details on the data center projects, Vertiv and scale up plan tomorrow.”

    (1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to reporting net income, a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure, this news release contains information about Adjusted EBITDA (net income (loss) attributable to Tecogen Inc adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, unrealized gain or loss on investment securities, goodwill impairment charges and other non-cash non-recurring charges including abandonment of certain intangible assets), which is a non-GAAP measure. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to view its performance in a manner similar to the methods used by management and provides additional insight into its operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated through the application of GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. The use of any non-GAAP measure may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.
