NXT Energy Solutions Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results
CALGARY, AB / ACCESS Newswire / August 11, 2025 / NXT Energy Solutions Inc. (“NXT” or the “Company”) (TSX:SFD)(OTCQB:NSFDF) today announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise identified.
Bruce G. Wilcox, CEO of NXT, commented, “SFD® revenues of $14.1 million for the first half of the year reflect our financial transformation through repeat contracts in high potential regions and our focus on geographical diversification. Also, convertible debentures have been a critical element of NXT's finance plan with US$5,675,000 being converted to common shares during Q2-25. Our year-to-date net income of $0.70 million was reduced by a non-cash charge of $7.74 million, primarily the result of a fair value adjustment to convertible debentures following the 178% increase in NXT's share price during Q2-25. The convertible debentures that were subject to the fair value adjustment, were issued with conversion prices of either US$0.1808 or US$0.25, which reflected a premium to the prevailing market price of NXT shares at the time of issuance. Also worth mentioning, is the net working capital improvement of $10.53 million. We have announced SFD® surveys for the remainder of 2025 and are working on contract bookings for 2026. Our efforts are directed to delivering meaningful shareholder value through strong fundamentals.”
