Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

Loop Industries, Inc. (the “Company,” “Loop,” “we,” or “our”) is a technology company that owns patented and proprietary technology that depolymerizes no and low-value waste polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”) plastic and polyester fiber to its base building blocks (monomers). The monomers are filtered, purified and polymerized to create virgin-quality Loop™ branded PET resin suitable for use in food-grade packaging and polyester fiber. The Company is currently in the pre-commercialization stage with limited revenues.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures included in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, filed with the SEC on May 18, 2023. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated financial position and results of operations of Loop Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Loop Innovations, LLC and Loop Canada Inc. All subsidiaries are, either directly or indirectly, wholly owned subsidiaries of Loop Industries, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”). The Company also owns, through Loop Innovations, LLC, a 50% interest in a joint venture, Indorama Loop Technologies, LLC, which is accounted for under the equity method.

Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2023, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including certain notes required by US GAAP on an annual reporting basis. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for the three months ended May 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, for the fiscal year ending February 29, 2024, or for any other period.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuing of operations, the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

All monetary amounts in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified, except for per share data.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Liquidity Risk Assessment

Since its inception, the Company has been in the pre-commercialization stage with limited revenues from customers, and its ongoing operations and commercialization plans have been financed primarily by raising equity. The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flow from operating and investing activities since its inception and expects to incur additional net losses while it continues to develop and plan for commercialization. As at May 31, 2023, the Company’s available liquidity was $24,543, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $21,970 and an undrawn senior loan facility from a Canadian bank of $2,573. Management actively monitors the Company’s cash resources against the Company’s short-term cash commitments to ensure the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its costs for at least twelve months from the financial statement issuance date. Management evaluates the Company’s liquidity to determine if there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In preparing this liquidity assessment, management applies significant judgment in estimating future cash flow requirements of the Company based on budgets and forecasts, which includes developing assumptions related to: (i) estimation of amount and timing of future cash outflows and inflows and (ii) determining what future expenditures are committed and what could be considered discretionary. Based on this assessment, management believes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they become due for a period of no less than twelve months from the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s ability to move to the next stage of its strategic development and construct manufacturing plants is dependent on whether the Company can obtain the necessary financing through a combination of the issuance of debt, equity, and/or joint ventures, and/or government incentive programs, and/or customers. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting additional funding. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms favorable to the Company. Failure to secure additional financing on favorable terms when it becomes required would have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and on its ability to execute its business plan.

The Company has committed $3,116 of its cash resources for certain long lead equipment during the current fiscal year and may enter into additional commitments to accelerate commercial projects within targeted construction timeframes.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include the going concern assessment, estimates for depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, recoverability of tax credits receivable, assumptions made in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation and other equity instruments, and the assessment of performance conditions for stock-based compensation awards.

Net earnings (loss) per share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The Company includes common stock issuable in its calculation. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.

For the three-month periods ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an antidilutive effect. As at May 31, 2023, the potentially dilutive securities consisted of 2,782,000 outstanding stock options (2022 – 1,570,000), 4,306,655 outstanding restricted stock units (2022 – 4,090,775), and 7,089,400 outstanding warrants (2022 – 11,659,418).

This was modified to provide a grant of 4,000,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) covering 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock while the performance milestones remained the same. The grant of the restricted stock units became effective upon approval by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting, of an increase in the number of shares available for grant under the Plan. Such approval was granted by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting.

On April 30, 2020, the Company and Mr. Solomita entered into an amendment of Mr. Solomita’s employment agreement. The amendment clarified the milestones consistent with the shift in the Company’s business from the production of terephthalate to the production of dimethyl terephthalate, another proven monomer of PET plastic that is simpler to purify. When a milestone becomes probable, the corresponding expense will be valued based on the grant date fair value on April 30, 2020, the date of the last modification of Mr. Solomita’s employment agreement. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq on April 30, 2020 was $7.74 per share.

During the three-month period ended May 31, 2022, Mr. Solomita met a performance milestone in relation to the signature of a supply agreement with a customer. Accordingly, 1,000,000 performance incentive RSUs with a fair value of $7,740 were earned and issuable to Mr. Solomita. This amount was reflected as stock-based compensation expense during the three-month period ended May 31, 2022. During the three-month period ended May 31, 2023, no outstanding performance milestones were probable of being achieved and, accordingly, the Company did not record any additional stock-based compensation expense.

Introduction

Loop is a technology company whose mission is to accelerate the world’s shift towards sustainable PET plastic and polyester fiber and away from our dependence on fossil fuels. Loop owns patented and proprietary technology that depolymerizes no and low-value waste PET plastic and polyester fiber, including plastic bottles and packaging, carpets and textiles of any color, transparency or condition and even ocean plastics that have been degraded by the sun and salt, to its base building blocks (monomers). The monomers are filtered, purified and polymerized to create virgin-quality Loop^™ branded PET resin suitable for use in food-grade packaging and polyester fiber, thus enabling our customers to meet their sustainability objectives. Loop is contributing to the global movement towards a circular economy by reducing and recovering plastic waste for a sustainable future.

The Company is presently in the planning stages of pursuing the construction of Infinite Loop™ commercial scale facilities. Loop is currently engaged in discussions to secure financing for its investments in the various planned manufacturing facilities and the sequencing of the manufacturing facilities will be determined in conjunction with the outcome of the Company’s financing discussions and discussions with our partners.

Background

Industry Background

We believe Loop's depolymerization technology offers a complementary solution to mechanical recycling by enabling the use of a wider variety of PET feedstock, including complex and degraded plastics as well as polyester fiber, to produce virgin quality rPET with no degradation through continued recycling.

Mechanically recycled PET plastic is produced principally through the conversion of bales of PET bottles. The materials have been collected and transported to a materials recovery facility, where they are sorted from other materials, baled, and sent to specific PET recycling facilities. The bales are broken and sorted to remove any non-PET materials. The PET is then ground and put through a separation process which separates the PET from the bottle cap and label materials. Clean PET flake is then further processed depending on its intended end market. It may become more highly refined PET pellets for new bottles or extruded into PET sheet for clamshells, trays, and cups. Recycled PET is also spun into fiber for carpet, clothing, fiber fill, or other materials.

Table of Contents

We believe mechanically recycled PET faces a number of challenges in meeting the quality specifications and growing volume requirements implied by commitments from major brands, mainly due to the cost and variety of acceptable PET feedstock. Some mechanical recycling processes involve remelting the PET flake which reduces the quality of the rPET output each time it is recycled relative to the specifications of virgin PET produced from fossil fuels. Each time PET plastic is mechanically recycled, its quality and clarity are reduced. Therefore, mechanically recycled PET may need to be mixed with virgin PET from fossil fuels to maintain quality. Lower quality mechanically recycled PET is often downcycled to alternate uses such as polyester fibers which may be dyed and used in carpets or clothing. Additionally, mechanically recycled PET manufactured for use in clear bottles or food containers requires predominantly clear and clean PET flakes separated from waste bales, and cannot accommodate colored or opaque PET flakes, lower quality fiber feedstock, or materially contaminated feedstock, which may be cheaper.

Depolymerization is a process in which plastics are broken down into their constituent molecules through chemical reactions, rather than being physically melted down and reprocessed as in mechanical recycling. This approach, which we utilize, has several advantages over mechanical recycling, which can have limitations due to the complexity and diversity of plastics.

One of the main limitations of mechanical recycling is that it is difficult to recycle plastics that have been contaminated or degraded. For example, if a plastic container has been exposed to heat or sunlight, it may become brittle and prone to breaking during the recycling process. Another limitation of mechanical recycling is that it is difficult to recycle certain types of plastics, such as multi-layered or composite plastics. These plastics are often used in food packaging or other products that require specialized properties like barrier protection or insulation. Depolymerization, however, can break down these degraded or complex plastics into their constituent molecules, which can then be purified and used to create new products.

Loop’s depolymerization technology has the potential to create a closed-loop system for plastic waste, whereby plastics can be recycled an infinite number of times without degrading the quality of the material. This is because the constituent molecules can be broken down and reassembled without losing their original properties, which can reduce the need for new plastics to be produced.

We believe Loop’s depolymerization technology offers a promising solution to the limitations of mechanical recycling by enabling the recirculation of more diverse and complex plastics, reducing waste and pollution, and creating a closed-loop system for plastic waste.

Our depolymerization technology breaks down waste PET into DMT and MEG. The monomers are purified and then recombined into virgin quality PET plastic and polyester fiber. We use low value PET plastic and polyester fiber waste as feedstock. Our technology can process PET plastic bottles and packaging of any color, transparency or condition, carpet, clothing and other polyester textiles that may contain colors, dyes or additives, and even PET plastics that have been recovered from the ocean and degraded by exposure to sun and salt. We believe that our ability to use many materials that mechanical recyclers cannot process is an important advantage of Loop^™ PET resin and further expands the range of PET waste streams that may be recycled. This also means we are creating a new market for materials that have persistently been leaking out of the waste management system and into shared rivers, oceans and natural areas.

Supply Agreements with Global Consumer Brands

In the past years, we have seen major consumer brands make significant commitments to close the loop on their plastic use by transitioning their packaging to recyclable materials like PET, and by incorporating more recycled content into their packaging. We believe Loop^™ PET resin provides the ideal solution for these brands because it is recyclable and is made from 100% recycled PET waste and polyester fiber, while being virgin-quality and suitable for use in food-grade packaging and polyester fiber.

Due to the commitments by large global consumer brands to incorporate more recycled content into their product packaging, the regulatory requirements for minimum recycled content in packaging imposed by governments, the virgin-quality of Loop^™ branded PET resin and its marketability to enhance the sustainability credentials of consumer brands that incorporate it, we believe we will be able to sell Loop^™ branded PET resin at a premium price relative to virgin and mechanically recycled PET resin.

Table of Contents

We currently have agreements with some of the world’s leading brands to be supplied from our planned commercial facilities, including:

	·	Multi-year supply agreement with Danone SA (“Danone”), one of the world’s leading global food and beverage companies, enabling Danone to purchase 100% sustainable and upcycled Loop^™ branded PET for use in brands across its portfolio including evian®, Danone’s iconic natural spring water;

We also have a signed letter of intent with On AG, a sportswear brand and subsidiary of On Holding AG, to secure volumes of Loop™ PET resin from the Asian Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility in Ulsan, South Korea, which Loop is planning to construct with its strategic partner SK Geo Centric.

We are pursuing amended supply agreements with existing customers and new agreements with additional customers that are located in North America, Europe, and Asia to sell the production volumes of our planned Infinite Loop^™ commercial facilities.

Strategic Partnership with SK Geo Centric

In June 2021, Loop and SK Geo Centric (“SKGC”) concluded a definitive agreement for SKGC to become a strategic investor in Loop, with SKGC acquiring a 10% stake in Loop at $12.00 per share for a total of $56.5 million. The transaction, which closed in July 2021, also included warrants for SKGC to purchase Loop common stock at $15.00 and $20.00 per share. Concurrent with the strategic investment, Loop and SKGC entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to form a joint venture with exclusivity to build sustainable PET plastic and polyester fiber manufacturing facilities throughout Asia.

SKGC is a global chemical company and member of the SK Group, one of South Korea’s largest conglomerates. SKGC is a general energy and chemical leader in the global market and is growing into a technology-based global chemical company through continuous R&D efforts. SKGC aims to achieve its “Green for Better Life” vision by establishing a plastics based circular economy through collaboration with various partners and stakeholders, such as Loop.

Asia represents approximately 60% of the world’s population and 70% of global PET consumption and is the main hub for the polyester fiber supply chain for textiles. The Asian market represents a prime opportunity for Loop’s growth and commercialization of its technology. SKGC is well established with a deep understanding of the Asian market, and vast expertise in building and operating large-scale petrochemical facilities, making them a uniquely well-suited partner for Loop in helping to ensure the successful commercialization of Loop’s technology in this market.

On April 27, 2023, Loop and SKGC entered into a joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”) to deploy Loop’s depolymerization technology in the Asian market through multiple commercial manufacturing facilities. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, Loop and SKGC agreed to form a new company (the “JV Company”), which will be headquartered in Singapore. SKGC will contribute 51% and Loop will contribute 49% of the initial equity capital of the JV Company. The JV Agreement outlines that the JV Company will have exclusive rights to commercialize Loop’s technology in the Asian market and Loop will receive an annual royalty fee for each of the commercial plants.

The first planned commercial manufacturing facility with Infinite Loop™ technology, located in Ulsan, South Korea, will have an annual capacity to supply 70,000 metric tons per year of Loop™ PET resin for packaging and polyester fiber applications, and is anticipated to break ground in 2023 and to have construction completed by the end of 2025. In addition to Infinite Loop™ Ulsan, the two partners have outlined plans which target a minimum of three additional commercial manufacturing facilities to be constructed throughout Asia by 2030. Loop and SKGC have partnered with SK ecoengineering, a subsidiary of the SK Group that brings considerable experience and proficiency as an EPC contractor, for the engineering and construction of the commercial manufacturing facilities.

On February 16, 2023, the three companies announced that the Chemesis industrial platform in Saint-Avold, located in the Grand Est region of France, has been selected as the site for their planned manufacturing facility in Europe. We are working with our partners Suez and SKGC on acquiring the project site, alignment of various levels of government support and additional steps for the project which include advancing permitting, site specific engineering, customer offtake contracts, feedstock and financing.

Product activations with evian, L’Occitane, On AG, and Garnier

Loop has collaborated with multiple customers in recent and upcoming launches for products and product packaging incorporating Loop™ PET manufactured from monomers produced at the Terrebonne Facility.

In 2021, Loop, in partnership with iconic global beverage brand evian, unveiled a new “evian Loop” prototype virgin-quality water bottle made from 100% recycled content. The monomers used to produce the evian Loop bottles were made at the Terrebonne Facility. Evian began selling water bottles made from Loop^™ PET in South Korea in October 2022. The waste plastic used to produce these bottles includes polyester fibers from carpets and clothing which are considered unrecyclable and destined for landfill and other natural environments. This initiative reflects evian’s commitment to its stated goal for circularity and 100% recycled content by 2025.

On October 11, 2022, Loop and L’OCCITANE, a global manufacturer and retailer of sustainable beauty and wellness products, unveiled a new bottle for the brand’s Almond Shower Oil that was manufactured with 100% recycled Loop™ PET resin produced using monomers from Loop’s Terrebonne Facility. Loop has partnered with L’OCCITANE to help meet the brand’s sustainability goal of using 100% recycled PET in its bottles by 2025. In partnership with the brand, a pilot project was executed where the bottle (excluding cap and label) was produced using 100% recycled Loop™ PET resin and was successfully carried out on L’OCCITANE production lines. This initiative marks a significant step forward in the partnership between the two companies and sets the pathway to implement Loop’s technology across other products in the brand’s assortment. As part of this partnership with L’OCCITANE, Loop’s branding is featured prominently on the front of the packaging, with additional details speaking to Loop’s technology on the back label.

We also entered into an agreement in May 2022 with On AG to supply Loop^™ PET to be utilized in polyester fiber by the brand, pursuant to which Loop^™ PET resin was delivered in the year ended February 28, 2023.

On April 19, 2023, Loop and Garnier, one of the world’s largest mass market beauty brands, launched the brand’s first Micellar Cleansing Water All-In-1 bottle made of Loop™ PET produced using monomers from Loop’s Terrebonne Facility (excluding cap and label). The Loop logo, featured on the front of this packaging innovation, serves as an anchor to highlight Loop’s technology, the quality of materials and the bottle’s recyclability. The inclusion of Loop branding on the packaging strongly supports Garnier's sustainability goals by promoting the infinitely recyclable potential of the product and brings awareness to PET plastic circularity. This packaging innovation will first be distributed in Garnier’s largest market, the US, and the brand’s home market of France.

Loop continues to pursue opportunities for new activations and marketing campaigns with additional consumer goods brand companies.

Terrebonne Facility

As part of our plan for the commercialization of future Infinite Loop^™ manufacturing facilities, we enhanced our Terrebonne, Québec pilot plant to become a small-scale PET depolymerization production facility, incorporating all key pieces of depolymerization equipment that will be used in the full-scale commercial facilities. In addition to our research and development activities, this facility is used to deliver initial production volumes to support co-branded market launch campaigns with partners and customers and will also be used to showcase the Infinite Loop^™ end-to-end technology and train operational teams in advance of the commissioning of the Infinite Loop^™ full-scale commercial facilities.

On December 22, 2022, we announced that we had reduced hours of operation at the Terrebonne Facility in order to reduce operating costs and preserve liquidity. The primary purpose of the Terrebonne Facility was to demonstrate that Loop’s breakthrough depolymerization technology was scalable, and also to produce commercial quantities of virgin quality PET resin and polyester fiber for global brands. We believe the Terrebonne Facility has achieved this objective. We will continue to fulfill existing commitments related to ongoing sales contracts.

In the three-month period ended May 31, 2023, 2023, Loop reported revenues of $27 from the sale of Loop™ PET resin produced from monomers manufactured at the Terrebonne Facility to several global consumer brands, including those with whom Loop is collaborating on product launches. In addition to supplying customers with initial volumes of Loop^™ PET, the Terrebonne Facility continues to support our customers and partners with R&D and analytical capabilities.

Market Opportunity

The estimated global annual market demand for PET plastic and polyester fiber is approximately $180 billion. We believe plastic pollution and climate change continue to be the most persistently covered environmental issues by media and local and global environmental non-governmental organizations. Some of the main concerns associated with PET are the greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions associated with its production from non-renewable hydrocarbons and the length of time it persists in landfills and the natural environment. There is an increasing demand for action to address the global plastic crisis, as evidenced by the March 2022 endorsement by 175 nations of a historic resolution at the UN Environmental Assembly to end plastic pollution and forge an international legally binding agreement by the end of 2024. In the last few years, governments in North America, Europe and Asia have been enacting and proposing laws and regulations mandating the use of minimum recycled content in packaging, which underlies the strength of this issue in the marketplace. Consumer brands are seeking a solution to their plastic challenge, and they are taking action. In recent years we have seen major brands make significant commitments to close the loop on their plastic packaging by transitioning their packaging to recyclable materials and by incorporating more recycled content into their packaging.

Global consumer packaged goods companies (“CPG companies”), apparel manufacturers, and retail brands have announced significant public commitments and targets to make the transition to a circular plastic economy, for example:

	·	Adidas Group aims to replace all virgin polyester with recycled polyester in all of its Adidas products by 2024;
	·	Danone, the provider of evian® brand bottled water, committed to a goal of using 100% recycled content packaging by 2025;
	·	Coca-Cola committed to an average recycled content of 50% across its packaging by 2030;
	·	PepsiCo stated 10 European markets are moving key Pepsi-branded products to 100% rPET bottles by 2022, and in the U.S., all Pepsi-branded products will be converted to 100% rPET bottles by 2030;
	·	In 2020, L’OCCITANE committed to implementing 100% recycled content plastic in their bottles by 2025;
	·	Nike has announced a 2025 target of diverting 100% of its waste from landfills, with at least 80% recycled back into its products and goods;
	·	L’Oréal Group committed to using 100% recycled or biobased plastic in their packaging by 2030;
	·	Ikea maintains its goal that, by 2030, all plastic used in its products will be based on renewable or recycled material; and
	·	By 2025, Lululemon aims to achieve at least 75% sustainable materials for their products, including fibers that are recycled, renewable, regenerative, sourced responsibly and are manufactured using low-resource processes.

There is a growing regulatory and policy environment to encourage a reduction in the production of virgin fossil fuel-based plastic and for minimum recycled content in packaging imposed by various governments:

North America:

	o	Canada has announced a goal of zero-plastic waste by 2030 and is targeting for all plastic packaging to contain 50% recycled content by 2030.
	o	California law requires that plastic bottles contain at least 25% post-consumer resin by 2025, and at least 50% by 2030.

Europe:

	o	As of January 2021, the European Union introduced a new tax of €800/ton on non-recycled plastic packaging based on the amount of plastic packaging placed on each member state’s market.
	o	Spain imposed a tax of €450 per ton on non-reusable plastic packaging, effective January 1, 2023.
	o	Italy introduced a tax in January 2023 of €450 per ton on virgin plastic used in manufacture or importation of single use plastic.
	o	Effective April 2022, a new £200/ton tax applies in the UK to plastic packaging produced or imported into the UK that does not contain at least 30% recycled plastic.
	o	France maintains its goal of having 100% plastics recycled by 2025 and 77% of beverage bottles to be collected.

Asia: South Korea continues to target reduction of plastic waste by 20%, an increase in recycling rates from 54% to 70% by 2025, and utilization of 30% renewable plastic by 2030.

The growing regulatory environment combined with global consumer goods companies, apparel manufacturers, and retail brand commitments for 2025 and 2030 are expected to further increase the demand for rPET.

Closed-loop circularity and keeping materials within their own cycle (bottle-to-bottle and fiber-to-fiber) is gaining increasing attention as the focus on sustainability intensifies. Governments and regulators have considered or enacted heightened standards for recycled materials that discourage downcycling of bottles into polyester fiber. Additionally, it is becoming increasingly difficult to secure inventory of post-consumer bottles due to the increased demand from the bottle industry as they strive to achieve their own sustainability goals. A fiber-to-fiber recycling strategy addresses these problems and allows fashion brands and companies to secure volume and support the increasing demand of recycled polyester fiber in the textile industry.

We believe the commercialization plans of Loop^™ PET resin and polyester fiber may provide the ideal solution for global brands because Loop^™ PET resin and polyester fiber contains 100% recycled PET and polyester fiber content. The Loop^™ PET resin and polyester fiber is virgin-quality and is suitable for use in food-grade packaging. That means CPG companies will be able to market packaging made from a 100% recycled Loop^™ branded PET resin and polyester fiber.

Commercialization Strategy

Our objective is to achieve global expansion of Loop’s technology through a mix of fully owned manufacturing facilities, strategic partnerships, and licensing agreements. We believe that industrial companies, some of which today may not be in the business of manufacturing PET resin or polyester fiber, will view involvement with Infinite Loop^™ projects as a significant growth opportunity, which may offer attractive economic returns either as Loop manufacturing partners or as licensees of the technology.

On December 22, 2022, we announced a shift in our commercialization strategy which now focuses on our planned joint venture projects with SKGC in Asia and Europe. These projects have a lower requirement for Loop equity investment and higher expected return on capital, and leverage SKGC’s engineering and operational infrastructure. In addition, the joint venture projects will provide Loop with an annual technology licensing fee. SKGC is committed to commercializing Loop’s technology as the underpinning of its sustainable plastics strategy. Loop is working collaboratively with SKGC to put in place a financing plan for the rollout of large-scale manufacturing in Asia and Europe, including the first Asian manufacturing facility in Ulsan, South Korea, which is anticipated to break ground in 2023 and to have construction completed by the end of 2025.

The global expansion plan for our technology will allow our customers, mostly comprised of CPG brand companies and apparel companies, to expand the use of Loop^™ PET resin and polyester fiber into their packaging and clothing. As countries around the globe continue to increase sustainability targets and recycled content mandates, our customers are increasing the use of sustainably produced materials into their products.

The Infinite Loop^™ manufacturing technology is the key pillar of our commercialization blueprint. We believe our technology is at the forefront of the global transition away from fossil fuels and petrochemicals and into the circular economy, where PET plastic and polyester fiber are produced by recycling waste plastic rather than depleting finite resources. The Infinite Loop^™ manufacturing technology allows for waste PET plastic and polyester fiber to be broken down into its base building blocks, monomers DMT and MEG, using Loop’s patented technology. Once the monomers are purified, they are then repolymerized into PET plastic or polyester fiber using INVISTA know how, which Loop licenses, and Chemtex Global Corporation’s engineering. The INVISTA polymerization process and the associated designs are historically proven in the commercial production of PET resin and polyester fiber.

We have completed our basic design package for the Infinite Loop^™ full-scale manufacturing facilities. The engineering philosophy we have adopted is “design one, build many.” This approach allows for the basic design package to be used as the base engineering platform for all future geographical expansion. We believe this approach allows for quick execution, speed to market, and lends itself well to modular construction. The basic design package has a capacity of up to 70,000 M/T of PET resin output per year. Permitting, site and regulatory considerations may impact plant capacity.

Our market strategy is to assist global consumer goods brands in meeting their public sustainability commitments by offering co-branded packaging or polyester fibers that are made with Loop, 100% recycled, virgin-quality PET or polyester fibers. We believe that Loop^™ recycled PET resin and polyester fiber could command premium pricing over virgin, petroleum-based PET resin and provide attractive economic returns. We are targeting multi-year take or pay offtake agreements for planned Infinite Loop^™ production. Factors under consideration in determining project economics include the feasibility design engineering and cost estimate work, timing and permitting of a facility, customer offtake demand, commitment terms, and feedstock sources, quality, availability, PET bale index pricing, logistics, and ramp up, among others.

Recent developments

Signature of Venture Agreement with SKGC

The first planned commercial manufacturing facility with Infinite Loop™ technology, located in Ulsan, South Korea, will have an annual capacity to supply 70,000 metric tons per year of Loop™ PET resin for packaging and polyester fiber applications, and is anticipated to break ground in 2023 and to have construction completed by the end of 2025. In addition to Infinite Loop™ Ulsan, the two partners have outlined plans which target a minimum of three additional commercial manufacturing facilities to be constructed throughout Asia by 2030. Loop and SKGC have partnered with SK ecoengineering, a subsidiary of the SK Group who brings considerable experience and proficiency as an EPC contractor, for the engineering and construction of the commercial manufacturing facilities.

Successful completion of SKGC technical due diligence

On March 28, 2023, Loop and SKGC announced the successful completion of a technical due diligence conducted by SKGC. The technical due diligence marks the next phase in Loop and SKGC's long-standing partnership to commercialize Loop’s technology through Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facilities in the Asian market. SKGC executed a comprehensive due diligence to validate Loop’s technology and its production facility in Terrebonne, Quebec. The scope of the technical due diligence included the depolymerization of low value PET waste into its base monomers of DMT and MEG, the purification of the monomers, as well as the polymerization into virgin-quality Loop™ PET resin and polyester fiber. Key parameters of Loop’s technology that were validated were the production yields, operational stability, quality of the output monomers and overall performance of the production facility. The technical due diligence validated that the PET resin and polyester fiber produced using Loop’s technology is of virgin quality. The technical due diligence report, signed by both parties, confirms Loop’s innovative technology.

Customer product activations

On April 19, 2023, Loop and Garnier, launched the brand’s first Micellar Cleansing Water All-In-1 bottle made of Loop™ PET, which was produced using monomers from Loop’s Terrebonne Facility (excluding cap and label). The Loop logo, featured on the front of this packaging innovation, serves as an anchor to highlight Loop’s technology, the quality of materials and the bottle’s recyclability.

Proprietary Technology and Intellectual Property

We believe the power of our technology lies in its ability to use post-industrial and post-consumer waste PET plastic and polyester fiber feedstocks, which could end up in landfills, rivers, oceans and natural areas, to create Loop^™ PET resin. We believe our technology can deliver high-purity profitable virgin-quality, 100% recycled PET resin suitable for use in food-grade packaging and polyester fiber.

Our Generation II technology (“GEN II”) is a methanolysis-based depolymerization technology that uses temperatures below 90 °C to depolymerize waste PET and polyester fiber. The low temperature offers several key advantages which the Company believes will improve its ability to commercialize the GEN II technology, including;

	·	Lower energy usage during depolymerization, and therefore reduced processing cost and lower GHG emissions relative to higher temperature processes;
	·	Avoidance of side reactions with non-PET waste, which are inherent in waste PET feedstock streams, during depolymerization which may occur during higher temperature and higher pressure depolymerization processes. This allows for a simplified distillation purification process resulting in fewer, and more effective, steps to isolate the desired high purity DMT and MEG monomers suitable to produce virgin-quality PET required to meet food contact regulations as well as the quality and clarity requirements of global consumer product companies;
	·	Allowing the depolymerization of less costly and low-quality feedstocks, which cannot be effectively recycled today, such as carpet fiber, clothing and mixed plastics, and upcycling them into high-quality PET that can be used in food contact use; and
	·	The GEN II technology uses only trace amounts of water, eliminates the need for a halogenated solvent and uses a catalyst at low concentration.

We believe that GEN II requires less energy and fewer resource inputs than conventional PET production processes. We also believe it is an environmentally sustainable method for producing virgin-quality food-grade PET plastic by decoupling PET manufacturing from the fossil fuel industry.

To independently validate that our GEN II technology can produce DMT and MEG monomers at mini-pilot and pilot scale, we commissioned Kemitek, a College Centre for Technology Transfer specialized in the fields of green chemistry and chemical process scale-up. Kemitek’s findings allowed them to confirm that our technology produces monomers that meet our purity specifications for the production of PET resin and polyester fiber. The complete Kemitek report was filed with the SEC by the Company on December 14, 2020.

Additionally, Loop’s strategic partners, Suez and Danone, among others, collectively engaged an independent, globally recognized third-party engineering firm to execute a thorough due diligence and technology validation report. We believe the final report, which was communicated in May 2022, validated and reinforced the quality, effectiveness, and scalability of our technology. Our technology was further validated in March 2023, when Loop and SKGC announced the successful completion of the technical due diligence conducted by SKGC. Key parameters of Loop’s technology that were validated through SKGC’s comprehensive due diligence include the production yields, operational stability, quality of the output monomers and overall performance of Loop’s Terrebonne Facility. The technical due diligence validated that the PET resin and polyester fiber produced using Loop’s technology is of virgin quality.

Internationally, this patent family includes two issued patents in foreign jurisdictions, Bangladesh and South Africa, and pending applications in Canada, China, Korea, the Eurasian Patent Organization, Europe, the Gulf Cooperation Council, India, Japan, Mexico, and various other countries, all expected to expire on or around March 2040, if granted, not including any patent term extensions.

Loop owns registrations for its trademarks in Cambodia, Canada, the European Union, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the U.S. Loop also has pending applications in Canada, Japan, South Korea, the U.S., and Vietnam.

Government Regulation and Approvals

As we seek to further develop and commercialize our technology, we will be subject to extensive and frequently developing federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations. Compliance with current and future regulations, including food packaging regulations, could increase our operational costs.

Our operations require various governmental permits and approvals. We are in the process of obtaining all necessary permits and approvals for the operation of our business; however, any of these permits or approvals may be subject to denial, revocation or modification under various circumstances. Failure to obtain or comply with the conditions of permits and approvals or to have the necessary approvals in place may adversely affect our operations and may subject us to penalties. See “Risk Factors” below for additional information.

We believe that if we are successful in addressing food packaging regulations in various countries and economic regions, the regulatory environment may provide Loop^™ PET resin a competitive advantage relative to mechanically recycled alternative resins and virgin PET.

Loop’s PET resin was subjected to independent testing by an external and certified laboratory, which confirmed the PET complies with FDA Regulation 21 CFR § 177.1630 on August 26, 2021, as well as EU Commission Regulation No 10/2011 on July 27, 2021. These results attest that Loop’s PET is safe for use in food-contact applications, including but not limited to bottled water, carbonated drinks and food trays. Demonstration of compliance with food-contact requirements follows the No Objection Letter (“NOL”) from the FDA previously granted to Loop in March 2021. The NOL confirms that Loop’s monomers can produce rPET of a purity suitable for food-contact use, provided it meets the applicable requirements of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The monomers used in the PET resin submitted for testing were produced at Loop’s small-scale production facility in Terrebonne, Québec (the “Terrebonne Facility”).

We have received from the European Chemicals Agency a confirmation of registration for our MEG on November 17, 2020, and for our DMT on December 7, 2020. The registration under the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (“REACH”) Regulation (EC 1907/2006) confirms that our monomers are of a purity equal to what is currently recognized within Europe and entitles us to manufacture/import the monomers into Europe. It should be noted that MEG and DMT are on the positive list for plastic materials, which means that the two monomers can be used as food contact materials.

On August 31, 2021, Loop also received a NOL from Health Canada, which states that the PET produced by Loop’s recycling process is suitable for use in the manufacture of water bottles and articles for contact with all food types under all conditions of use.

Human Capital

As of May 31, 2023, we had 73 employees of which 24 work in research and development, 35 in engineering and operations, and 14 in administrative functions.

The net loss for the three-month period ended May 31, 2023 decreased $11,005 to $7,001, as compared to $18,006 for the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in general and administrative expenses of $8,572, and the $2,310 decrease in research and development expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Since its inception, the Company has been in the pre-commercialization stage with limited revenues, with its ongoing operations and commercialization plans financed primarily by raising equity. To date, we have been successful in raising capital to finance our ongoing operations. Our liquidity position consists of cash and cash equivalents on hand of $21,970 at May 31, 2023 and an undrawn senior loan facility from a Canadian bank of $2,573. Our liquidity position is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Risk Factors section included in Part I, Item 1A of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Management actively monitors the Company’s cash resources against the Company’s short-term cash commitments to ensure the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its costs for at least twelve months from the financial statement issuance date. Management evaluates the Company’s liquidity to determine if there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In preparing this liquidity assessment, management applies significant judgment in estimating future cash flow requirements of the Company based on budgets and forecasts which includes developing assumptions related to: (i) estimation of amount and timing of future cash outflows and cash inflows and (ii) determining what future expenditures are committed and what could be considered discretionary. Management prepared the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis in accordance with ASC 205-40, as management believes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they become due for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management continues to pursue our growth strategy and is evaluating our financing plans to continue to raise capital to finance the start-up of commercial operations and continue to fund our ongoing operations. We will require a significant amount of capital to fund our growth as we invest in our planned commercial facilities in Europe, Asia and North America, as well as additional research and development. In addition to our cash on hand, we may also raise additional capital through equity offerings or debt financings, government incentives, as well as through collaborations or strategic alliances to execute our growth strategy. Such financing will depend on many factors, including actual construction costs of the planned commercial facilities, potential delays in our supply chain, and our ability to secure customers, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

In December 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase of long lead machinery and equipment for up to $8,546 which can be used in any Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility. The payment of these amounts is based on certain milestones subject to various terms and conditions, including fabrication timelines, and equipment inspection. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has paid a cash deposit of $5,430.

We have a long-term debt obligation to Investissement Québec in connection with a financing facility for the expansion of the Terrebonne Facility up to a maximum of $3,382. We received the first disbursement in the amount of $1,624 on February 21, 2020 and the second disbursement in the amount of $1,758 on August 26, 2021. There is a 36-month moratorium on both capital and interest repayments as of the first disbursement date. At the end of the 36-month moratorium, capital and interest will be repayable in 84 monthly installments. The loan bears interest at a rate of 2.36%. We have also agreed to issue to Investissement Québec warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in an amount equal to 10% of each disbursement up to a maximum aggregate amount of $338. The warrants were issued at a price per share equal to the higher of (i) $11.00 per share and (ii) the ten-day weighted average closing price of Loop Industries shares of common stock on the Nasdaq stock market for the 10 days prior to the issue of the warrants. The warrants can be exercised immediately upon grant and have a term of three years from the date of issuance. The loan can be repaid at any time by us without penalty. On February 21, 2020, upon the receipt of the first disbursement under this facility, we issued a warrant to purchase 15,153 shares of common stock at a price of $11.00 to Investissement Québec, which expired in February 2023. On August 26, 2021, upon the receipt of the second disbursement under this facility, we issued a warrant to purchase 17,180 shares of common stock at a price of $11.00 to Investissement Québec, which remains outstanding. There is no remaining amount available under the financing facility after the second disbursement.

Table of Contents

On November 21, 2022, the Company and Investissement Québec entered into an agreement to amend the existing Financing Facility which modifies the repayments of the principal amount (the “the Financing Facility Amendment”). As per the Financing Facility Amendment, a total of $37 of the principal amount is repayable in monthly installments in the fiscal year ending February 29, 2024 and the remainder of the principal amount is repayable in 72 monthly installments. Under the original terms of the Financing Facility, the principal amount was repayable in 84 monthly installments beginning in March of 2023. The Financing Facility Amendment does not modify the interest rates, the repayment terms of accrued interest or any other terms of the Financing Facility.

On July 26, 2022, Loop Canada, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Operating Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a Canadian bank. The Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $2,573 in aggregate principal amount and provides for a two-year term. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company’s Terrebonne, Québec property and is subject to a minimum equity covenant, tested quarterly. All borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the bank’s Canadian prime rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus 1.0%. The Company is subject to a guarantee of the liabilities of Loop Canada Inc. As at May 31, 2023, the Credit Facility was undrawn.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 31, 2023.

B. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended May 31, 2023 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

SEC Investigation

As previously disclosed, we received a subpoena from the SEC in October 2020 requesting certain information from us, including information regarding testing, testing results and details of results from our GEN I and GEN II technologies, and certain of our partnerships and agreements. In March 2022, we received a second subpoena requesting additional information, including information concerning our reverse-merger in 2015, and communications with certain individuals and entities. There have been no additional information requests from the SEC relating to the Company’s business or technology.

The SEC informed us that its investigation does not mean that the SEC has concluded that anyone has violated the law and that the investigation does not mean that the SEC has a negative opinion of us. We cannot predict when this matter will be resolved or what, if any, action the SEC may take following the conclusion of the investigation.

On September 30, 2022 the SEC filed a complaint (the “SEC complaint”) against several named defendants (“Defendants”), and also identified as a relief defendant Daniel Solomita, our Chief Executive Officer. The SEC complaint does not allege wrongdoing by the Company or Mr. Solomita. The SEC complaint identifies Mr. Solomita and an entity he owns as relief defendants because they purportedly received monies from the Defendants in 2015 that the SEC alleges were derived from the Defendants’ fraud. The SEC complaint does not allege that Mr. Solomita was aware of the alleged wrongdoing by the Defendants and does not allege that he was aware that any alleged monies received were derived from fraud.

Litigation

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings or investigations which arise in the ordinary course of business. Except as noted above, we are not presently a party to any legal proceedings, government actions, administrative actions, investigations or claims that are pending against us or involve us that, in the opinion of our management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

It is possible that we may expend financial and managerial resources in the defense of our intellectual property rights in the future if we believe that our rights have been violated. It is also possible that we may expend financial and managerial resources to defend against claims that our products and services infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. Risk factors relating to us are set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on May 18, 2023. No material changes to such risk factors have occurred during the three months ended May 31, 2023.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	May 31, 2023
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Liquidity Risk Assessment	Since its inception, the Company has been in the pre-commercialization stage with limited revenues from customers, and its ongoing operations and commercialization plans have been financed primarily by raising equity. The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flow from operating and investing activities since its inception and expects to incur additional net losses while it continues to develop and plan for commercialization. As at May 31, 2023, the Company’s available liquidity was $24,543, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $21,970 and an undrawn senior loan facility from a Canadian bank of $2,573. Management actively monitors the Company’s cash resources against the Company’s short-term cash commitments to ensure the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its costs for at least twelve months from the financial statement issuance date. Management evaluates the Company’s liquidity to determine if there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In preparing this liquidity assessment, management applies significant judgment in estimating future cash flow requirements of the Company based on budgets and forecasts, which includes developing assumptions related to: (i) estimation of amount and timing of future cash outflows and inflows and (ii) determining what future expenditures are committed and what could be considered discretionary. Based on this assessment, management believes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they become due for a period of no less than twelve months from the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ability to move to the next stage of its strategic development and construct manufacturing plants is dependent on whether the Company can obtain the necessary financing through a combination of the issuance of debt, equity, and/or joint ventures, and/or government incentive programs, and/or customers. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting additional funding. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms favorable to the Company. Failure to secure additional financing on favorable terms when it becomes required would have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and on its ability to execute its business plan. The Company has committed $3,116 of its cash resources for certain long lead equipment during the current fiscal year and may enter into additional commitments to accelerate commercial projects within targeted construction timeframes.
Use Of Estimates	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include the going concern assessment, estimates for depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, recoverability of tax credits receivable, assumptions made in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation and other equity instruments, and the assessment of performance conditions for stock-based compensation awards.
Net Earnings (loss) Per Share	The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The Company includes common stock issuable in its calculation. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. For the three-month periods ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an antidilutive effect. As at May 31, 2023, the potentially dilutive securities consisted of 2,782,000 outstanding stock options (2022 – 1,570,000), 4,306,655 outstanding restricted stock units (2022 – 4,090,775), and 7,089,400 outstanding warrants (2022 – 11,659,418).
