en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canadian ultra-high temperature process and plasma technology company PyroGenesis Inc. has announced its financial and operational results for the first quarter. The company's quarterly revenue reached US$4.9 million, a 63% increase from US$3.0 million in the same period last year, marking the second-highest first-quarter revenue in the company's history.
Company President and CEO P. Peter Pascali stated: "Starting the year with 63% year-over-year growth validates the resilience of our business model, with our diversified product portfolio continuing to generate revenue across multiple project types and stages. Revenue has been directly boosted by the completion of deliveries for certain large-scale projects and progress made in other business areas." Pascali also noted that quarterly revenue can be influenced by project cadence and client timelines, but the start of 2026 has been encouraging from both an operational and financial perspective.
Beyond financial performance, PyroGenesis achieved several business milestones during the first quarter. The company signed an ongoing supply agreement for titanium powder with a U.S. client and partnered with a U.S. defense contractor to jointly bid on a chemical weapons destruction contract in Syria. Furthermore, independent verification for its fumed silica production system confirmed that the product meets key commercial-grade benchmarks, and the company has begun advancing client agreements. Results from the plasma torch industrial furnace trials conducted jointly with Rio Tinto and Alcoa were also confirmed, with data showing that in aluminum casting furnace applications, plasma torches deliver significant energy consumption reductions and cost savings compared to natural gas burners, without compromising metal quality.
In April, following the quarter's end, the company announced the signing of a preliminary titanium powder supply and distribution contract with an Asian materials company, a client primarily serving the Asian electronics market. Pending final testing of titanium powders with different particle sizes and the completion of regulatory and trade procedures, the client expects annual demand to reach several tonnes and is in negotiations to become PyroGenesis' official supplier of titanium powder for the electronics, medical, and aerospace sectors in Asia.
As of May 7, 2026, the company's unrecognized revenue from signed and awarded contracts stood at US$43.1 million, 86% of which is denominated in U.S. dollars, expected to be recognized as revenue over a maximum period of three years. The company also remains active across multiple business lines, including plasma torch systems, fumed silica, titanium powder, and waste treatment, continuing to advance commercial discussions and technical collaborations with potential clients in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
