5N Plus Inc. (TSX: VNP) (“5N+” or “the Company”), a leading global producer of specialty semiconductors and performance materials, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026 (“Q3 2026”). All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

“Higher volumes in both segments supported revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth in Q3 2026, while adjusted gross margin remained robust and improved sequentially, despite input cost pressures. We continue to operate at high capacity and to ramp additional production to support customer demand, while operating in a complex environment. We are pleased to be on track to achieve the high end of our full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range,” said Richard Perron, President and Chief Executive Officer of 5N+.

Mr. Perron added: “In the context of high operating demands, we remain focused on delivering on customer commitments, executing capacity expansion projects and improving productivity to achieve further economies of scale. This includes advancing recently announced gallium arsenide (GaAs) production and facility expansion plans at St. George, Utah, to support growing demand across defence, space solar, medical imaging and industrial sensing applications. Together, all our ongoing initiatives support our long-term growth strategy across key markets, building on our differentiated market position and Western manufacturing base.”

Financial Highlights

• Revenue in Q3 2026 increased by 30% to $136.4 million, compared to $104.9 million in Q3 2025, primarily reflecting higher volumes in Specialty Semiconductors and Performance Materials.

• Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2026 increased by 7% to $31.1 million, compared to $29.1 million in Q3 2025, driven by higher volumes in both segments.

• Adjusted gross margin in Q3 2026 increased by 10% to $42.8 million, compared to Q3 2025. Adjusted gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 31.4% in Q3 2026, compared to 36.9% in Q3 2025, primarily due to anticipated normalization of the margin under Performance Materials.

• Net earnings were $12.3 million in Q3 2026, compared to $18.2 million in Q3 2025.

• Backlog¹ stood at $447.3 million, representing 299 days of annualized revenue as at September 30, 2026, 14 days lower than in the previous quarter and 12 days lower than as at September 30, 2025.

• Net debt¹ was $32.4 million as at September 30, 2026, compared to $50.3 million as at December 31, 2025, while the Company’s net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio¹ stood at 0.31x as at September 30, 2026.

Outlook

The Company continues to benefit from favourable long-term fundamentals and structural expansion across its key end markets in Specialty Semiconductors and from the resilience of its Performance Materials segment.

As the geopolitical and economic backdrop continues to evolve, the Company expects to continue operating in a complex environment with rising cost pressures across its businesses and normalizing margin conditions in Performance Materials. To help mitigate cost pressures and improve operational efficiency, the Company remains focused on disciplined execution of its productivity initiatives and capacity expansion plans to achieve economies of scale.

Based on its strong nine-month performance and anticipated and contracted demand through the end of year, the Company is reaffirming its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of between $100 million and $105 million, and expects to achieve the high end of its guidance.

Supported by its competitive market positioning and expertise, including its Western manufacturing base and focus on value-added products, strong customer relationships and commercial discipline, 5N+ is well positioned to continue executing its long-term growth strategy as a critical supplier to critical industries.
