All financial results are reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
'We are pleased to announce that Anaergia has achieved record Revenue Backlog* during the first quarter of 2025. As of March 31, 2025, our Revenue Backlog has surged by 94.1%, to $200.0 million, compared to $103.1 million at the end of December 2024. The increase in backlog was in the capital sales segment primarily in Italy and North America,' said Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia.
'Additionally, we continue to pursue a robust pipeline of other opportunities, some of which we have already been awarded and disclosed since the beginning of the second quarter. We continue to execute our vision of Anaergia 2.0. and since Marny Investment SA's investment in the Company in July 2024, we have taken decisive actions to enhance our financial foundation, refine our strategic direction, and restore investor confidence, leading to significant progress for Anaergia,' added Mr. Onn.

Financial highlights:
Article content
Revenue of $24.9 million for the first quarter of 2025 decreased 0.4%, or $93 thousand, compared to the first quarter of the prior year. The decrease was driven mainly due to lower sales in Italy and Asia Pacific, partially offset by increased sales in North America.
Gross profit of $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 decreased 16.6%, or $1.1 million, compared to the first quarter of the prior year. The quarter's decrease was mainly driven by reduced gross profit of build, own, operate ('BOO') activities, partially offset by increased gross profit in capital sales.
Adjusted EBITDA 1 loss of $3.9 million for the first quarter of 2025 improved by 34.5%, or $2.1 million, from a loss of $6.0 million in the first quarter of the prior year. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by decreases in net loss as well as addbacks of Rhode Island Bioenergy Facility ('RIBF') income tax credit transaction costs in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 that did not recur in the current period.

Article content
This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS™ measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS™ and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS™ and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS™ measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS™. We use non-IFRS™ measures, including 'Adjusted EBITDA', 'EBITDA' and 'Revenue Backlog' to provide investors with supplemental measures. Management also uses non-IFRS™ measures internally in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. Management believes these non-IFRS™ measures are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance and highlight trends in the core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS™ measures. Management believes such measures are useful as they allow for assessment of our operating performance and financial condition on a basis that is more consistent and comparable between reporting periods. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS™ measures in the evaluation of issuers.
Article content
Definitions of non-IFRS™ measures used in this press release are provided below.
Article content
' Adjusted EBITDA ' is defined as EBITDA adjusted for our normalized proportionate interest in our BOO assets, one-time or non-recurring items, stock-based compensation expense, asset impairment charges and write downs, losses related to equity-accounted investees, significant one-time provisions, foreign exchange gains or losses, restructuring and severance costs, Enterprise Resource Planning customization and configuration costs, litigation and other claims settlements, gains and losses resulting from changes in certain balance sheet valuations (such as derivatives and warrants) and acquisition costs.
Article content
' EBITDA ' is defined as earnings before interest expenses, taxes and depreciation and amortization. The most comparable IFRS™ measure for EBITDA is net income (loss).
Article content
' Revenue Backlog ' is defined as the balance of unrecognized, undiscounted, consolidated revenues from signed contracts in our capital sales and operation and maintenance service ('O&M')/services segments. For our capital sales contracts, we have modeled only projects that have been contracted. For our O&M/services segment, while most of our in-hand contracts are 5-15 years in tenure, we have conservatively modeled for only 3 years of contracted revenue.
Article content
See 'Reconciliation of Non-IFRS™ Measures' below for a reconciliation of the foregoing non-IFRS™ measures to their most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with IFRS™.

RCMP lay 29 charges in alleged $40M money laundering scheme tied to Calgary business
The RCMP's Integrated Money Laundering Investigative Team has charged two individuals and a company in connection with an alleged $40-million international money laundering scheme. Canex Forex Ltd., Alberta resident Kevin Sarrafi, 39, and British Columbia resident Saba Sarrafi, 45, face charges related to money laundering and fraud, RCMP said in a release. The two accused individuals, who owned and operated a money service business with locations in Calgary and Vancouver, are alleged to have committed fraud against several financial institutions, RCMP said in a release. The alleged fraud saw more than $40 million transferred into Canada from the United Arab Emirates via "a complex network of shell companies and third-party bank accounts," RCMP said. "This investigation underscores the critical importance of collaboration between law enforcement, public agencies, and the private sector to strengthen and enforce Canada's anti-money laundering regime," said the release. Kevin Sarrafi was charged with 27 offences and was scheduled to appear in court in Calgary on Monday. Saba Sarrafi was charged with 29 offences and a Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest, RCMP said. Canex Forex was charged with 29 offences.

EXCLUSIVE: With digital tax scrapped, U.S. ambassador says he's 'confident we will have an agreement'
OTTAWA — With Canada's digital services tax now scrapped, a free trade deal between Canada and the Unites States is just a question of time, United States Ambassador Pete Hoekstra told National Post today. Article content In an exclusive interview, Hoekstra said he's not sure if trade talks between the two North American neighbours can be resolved by July 21, a target agreed to by the two sides when they met in mid-June in Kananaskis, Alta. But the ambassador said he's very confident that a deal will get done. Article content Article content Article content 'We will get to an agreement. The only question is how long will it take,' he said during an interview. 'I'm confident we will have an agreement.' Article content Article content Hoekstra emphasized that free trade between Canada and the U.S. is good for both countries, but that policies such as Canada's now-defunct digital services tax are irritants that get in the way. Article content He said the tax, however, was not the only trade irritant irking the U.S. Others include provincial policies that have pulled American alcohol off store shelves and other anti-competitive measures that make it difficult for U.S. companies to compete in this market. U.S. President Donald Trump has also made it clear that he doesn't like Canada's supply management policies towards the dairy and poultry industries because they make it difficult for American producers to compete in the Canadian market. Article content 'There's lots of issues that need to be covered. Some of them are going to be tougher than others,' Hoekstra said. 'The important thing is that this really sets the table.' Article content Article content Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters on Monday that he had always expected the digital services tax to be a casualty of the trade negotiations with the U.S., so it was pointless for the government to collect that tax revenue. Article content 'It's something that we expected, in the broader sense, that would be part of a final deal,' said Carney, without explaining why the decision to scrap the tax was made only hours before it came into effect at midnight on Sunday. Article content 'It doesn't make sense to collect tax from people and then remit them back, so it provides some certainty. And as I just said, negotiations have restarted. We're going to focus on getting the best deal for Canadians. We're making progress,' said Carney. Article content Canada's digital services tax was considered a big deal to the U.S., Hoekstra said, because it unfairly targeted American big tech companies. The tax was raised consistently by the U.S. in every recent conversation about trade, he added. Article content But Carney called Trump Sunday to say that he would be cancelling the tax, just two days after Trump insisted that the U.S. would walk away from trade talks with Canada and impose retaliatory tariffs if the tax wasn't killed. The first digital services tax payments were due Monday, although they were to be retroactive to 2022.

Will Scotia Place be a game-changer for Calgary Flames in future free-agent chases?
Perhaps Craig Conroy was practising his sales pitch. Article content While the Calgary Flames are unlikely to make a big splash during Tuesday's free-agent frenzy, there is optimism that Scotia Place — the brand-new arena/event centre that is now under construction across the street from the Saddledome — will be a major lure for future fishing expeditions. Article content Just ask the general manager. As Conroy rattles through some of the features of Scotia Place, which is slated to open for the 2027-28 season, you can't miss the excitement in his voice. Article content Article content 'I think it's going to be huge for us,' Conroy told Postmedia. 'Guys love the new, shiny things. I think they'll love all of the amenities, right from the place that you go in to have your breakfast and then the shooting rooms and kick-around rooms and just all the other stuff that comes with it. Article content 'And then to also have a practice rink right in the building with you, that's a home run for us. The new gym … I mean, if you have ever seen our gym here, we do the best we can with the space we have, but just everything is going to be state-of-the-art. Article content 'You already hear guys talking about it on other teams, just because they drive by and see the hole. Next year, they're going to see so much more. People talk about it, and it's going to be great for us moving forward. You can't really know until it's time, but I think it's going to make a big difference in guys' minds, for sure.' Article content It can't, of course, be the only draw. Article content If you flip Tuesday to the signing shows on Sportsnet or TSN, you won't hear a player — patched in via FaceTime from their lakefront cottage or the sixth hole of their favourite course — say, 'Well, the team stinks and the money was way better elsewhere but, ooooh boy, how about that barn?!' Article content Article content Article content The plans for Scotia Place call for 41,000 cubic metres of concrete, 9,000 metric tonnes of rebar and nearly 4,500 kilometres of wire throughout the walls. Article content As crews work round-the-clock at Scotia Place, Conroy is constantly game-planning how to acquire the other pieces and parts necessary to someday hoist hockey's 35-pound trophy. Article content He can't, just to be clear, do anything about Calgary's winter weather. That will always deter a few guys from signing at this latitude. Article content 'There are some other things that impact a free agent,' said Flames core part MacKenzie Weegar, a workhorse defenceman who made headlines when he stressed the need to replace the Saddledome during an end-of-season interview in April 2023. 'Is your team good? Is there a shot at playoffs? Is it a great city? Is the money the right amount?
