Belo Horizonte, Brazil and Singapore, March 26, 2026 – Verde AgriTech Ltd (TSX: NPK | OTCQX: VNPKF) (“Verde” or the “Company”), today reported its operating and financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (“Q4 2025” and “FY 2025”).

“The Great Brazilian Agriculture Crisis continued to weigh on sales throughout 2025, and the sharp rise in judicial recovery filings across Brazil’s agribusiness sector shows how stressed the market remains. Since the crisis began in 2023, Verde has maintained a highly restrictive credit approval policy, prioritizing receivables quality, liquidity preservation and commercial discipline over volume at any cost. We believe this has been the right approach to protect the Company and preserve its ability to grow when sector credit conditions begin to normalize” stated Cristiano Veloso, Founder and CEO of Verde AgriTech.

Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights

FY 2025 was a year of disciplined credit-risk management in a highly stressed Brazilian agricultural input market. Q4 2025 provided early evidence of improved commercial quality, with higher revenue per ton and materially lower expected credit losses.

• Revenue in FY 2025 was $16.6 million compared to $21.6 million in FY 2024. In Q4 2025 revenue increased to $3.1 million from $2.9 million in Q4 2024.
• Sales Volume totaled 258,432 tons in FY 2025 compared to 318,870 tons in FY 2024 and 45,113 tons in Q4 2025 versus 47,888 tons in Q4 2024 as deteriorating credit conditions across Brazilian agriculture and the Company’s tighter credit approvals reduced higher-risk sales, with Verde prioritizing receivables quality and liquidity over volume.
• Gross margin remained resilient at 72% in FY 2025 compared to 71% in FY 2024. In Q4 2025 Gross Margin was 63% compared to 65% in Q4 2024.
• Allowance for expected credit losses declined to $0.9 million in FY 2025 from $2.3 million in FY 2024. In Q4 2025, allowance for expected credit losses declined to $0.3 million from $1.3 million in Q4 2024.
• EBITDA before non-cash events remained stable year over year at $(2.8) million despite lower FY 2025 revenue. In Q4 2025, EBITDA improved to $(1.3) million from $(2.1) million in Q4 2024.
• Net loss narrowed to $(11.7) million in FY 2025 from $(12.6) million in FY 2024. In Q4 2025, net loss was $(3.4) million compared to $(2.8) million in Q4 2024.
• As of December 31, 2025, the Company held $3.0 million in cash and $5.3 million in short-term receivables. Subsequent to year-end, the Company completed a brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $4.5 million[1].

Q4 2025 and FY 2025 Sustainability Results

In Q4 2025, product sold by Verde had the potential to capture up to 5,414 tons of CO₂ through Enhanced Rock Weathering, with an estimated net carbon removal of 3,940 tons, while also avoiding 2,373 tons of CO₂e emissions by replacing potassium chloride fertilizers. Since production began in 2018, the combined potential carbon removal and avoided emissions total approximately 337,719 tons of CO₂. Additionally, 3,571 tons of chloride were prevented from entering soils in Q4 2025, bringing the cumulative total avoided since inception to 192,313 tons.

Magnetic Rare Earth Program Highlights

Since first disclosing its district-scale clay-hosted rare earth discovery in Minas Gerais, Brazil in October 2025, and formally naming it the Minas Americas Global Alliance Project later that month, Verde has advanced a growing drill-confirmed clay-hosted rare earth discovery, with the footprint now exceeding 3.5 km² within a mapped and surface-sampled geological unit exceeding 15 km² and drilling ongoing across eight additional targets. Metallurgical work has confirmed ionic-adsorption behaviour, with leach tests returning up to 667 mg/kg of DREO and 278 mg/kg of MREO in primary leach solution, while thorium and uranium were at or below detection in the best intervals. Drilling has consistently intersected shallow mineralization from surface, including 14.2 metres averaging 6,858 ppm TREO and 1,673 ppm MREO, 13.0 metres averaging 0.83% TREO including 8.0 metres at 1.01% TREO, and, most recently, 10.0 metres averaging 8,439 ppm TREO and 1,965 ppm MREO, including 5.0 metres averaging 11,032 ppm TREO and 2,717 ppm MREO. These results are supporting 3D modelling, representative metallurgical composites and continued advancement toward a maiden resource.

Strategic Initiatives And Recent Events

Brokered LIFE Financing[2]

Subsequent to year-end, the Company completed a brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $4.5 million (approximately $4.0 million net after commissions, transaction fees and offering-related costs). The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the Offering to accelerate work at its Minas Americas Global Alliance rare earth project, including resource definition drilling, metallurgy optimization, and other technical de-risking required for maiden NI 43-101 and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Fertilizer Market Conditions and 2026 Outlook

Brazil’s agricultural input market remained under significant financial pressure throughout 2025. On March 18, 2026, Central Bank of Brazil reduced the Selic rate to 14.75% from 15.00[3]%, but financing conditions remain highly restrictive for growers and agricultural distributors. Serasa Experian reported 1,990 agribusiness judicial recovery requests in 2025, up 56.4% from 2024, underscoring the degree of financial stress across the sector[4]. In this environment, credit availability became the principal commercial constraint, as purchasing decisions were driven by liquidity preservation, restricted financing and lower willingness to assume credit risk across the distribution chain.

Farm economics were also pressured by an unfavorable spread between costs and crop prices. The World Bank reported that fertilizer prices increased nearly every month during 2025, while food commodity prices were 5% lower than a year earlier[5]. This divergence compressed profitability across several crops and reduced producers’ capacity to commit cash to input purchases. In soybeans, one of Brazil’s key farm-economics benchmarks, recent analysis indicates that margins are approaching breakeven as lower soybean prices, elevated production costs and weak port premiums continue to pressure returns[6].

The agronomic backdrop itself remains constructive, with the Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento (Conab) projecting a record Brazilian grain harvest in 2025/26. However, stronger production does not immediately repair producer balance sheets after two years of tighter credit, higher financing costs and weaker cash generation. Conab has also indicated that soybean trading entered 2026 at a slow pace and under defensive demand conditions[7], reinforcing the view that many growers may continue to shorten purchasing windows and delay commercial decisions despite solid crop fundamentals. Taken together, these indicators suggest that the near-term constraint is credit availability and growers’ ability to finance purchases, rather than agronomic demand.

Looking ahead, Verde believes market conditions are likely to remain challenging in the near term, with tighter agricultural credit continuing to constrain fertilizer sales. According to Agrinvest Commodities Consultoria, fertilizer purchases for the 2026/27 season in the Company’s key markets are running at roughly half the historical pace for this point in the season. Against this backdrop, the Company expects Q1 2026 sales volumes to remain below the prior year. In response, Verde is implementing strategic adjustments across the business, including workforce reductions, contract reviews and other cost-efficiency initiatives, which are expected to generate over BRL 6 million in savings over 12 months. Together with a sharper commercial focus on higher-margin regions and assuming the current fertilizer price environment is sustained, these actions are expected to support positive EBITDA in 2026, even at sales volumes broadly in line with 2025.

Q4 2025 AND FY 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

The following table provides information about the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

(1) Non-GAAP measure. EBITDA before non-cash events is calculated as operating loss before depreciation, amortization and non-cash events.

(2) Included within General and Administrative expenses in the financial statements. For FY 2025, this amount includes the accounting recognition associated with the transfer of mineral rights to Oby Rare Earths and expenses related to stock options granted during the period. Comparative period amounts relate to non-cash items recognized in the respective periods.

(3) Included within General and Administrative expenses and Cost of Sales in the financial statements.

Sales Performance

Revenue for FY 2025 was $16.6 million compared to $21.6 million in FY 2024. The decline was primarily driven by lower volumes in a market where growers faced tighter credit conditions and weaker near-term cash generation. Verde maintained a rigorous credit approval process, particularly for specialty fertilizer sales that include third-party raw materials and chose to limit higher-risk exposure rather than extend terms that were not adequately compensated.

General and administrative expenses

Expenses decreased to $4.2 million in FY 2025 from $4.4 million in FY 2024, primarily reflecting lower legal, professional and consulting expenses over the course of the year. In Q4 2025, G&A increased to $1.2 million from $1.0 million in Q4 2024, mainly due to the recognition of a provision for success-based legal fees associated with the Company’s debt renegotiation and restructuring efforts.

Allowance for expected credit losses

The allowance for expected credit losses decreased from $2.3 million in 2024 to $0.9 million in 2025, primarily reflecting lower delinquency levels following the implementation of stricter credit policies.

Financial Results and Profitability

EBITDA before non-cash events for FY 2025 was $(2.8) million compared to $(2.8) million in FY 2024.

Net loss for FY 2025 was $(11.7) million, compared to a net loss of $(12.6) million in FY 2024. Results continued to reflect elevated net finance expense in a high-interest rate environment.

Basic loss per share totaled $(0.22) in FY 2025, compared to $(0.24) in FY 2024.

Liquidity, Debt and Working Capital

As of December 31, 2025, the Company held $3.0 million in cash and $5.3 million in short-term receivables. Total loan balance was $47.4 million, of which $5.4 million was due within 12 months and $42.0 million was due thereafter, with an average interest rate of 17% per annum.

The Company ended FY 2025 with positive working capital of $2.1 million. The year-over-year increase in current liabilities primarily reflects the scheduled reclassification of borrowings into the current portion as repayments come due following the renegotiated debt profile, rather than a deterioration in underlying liquidity.

Net cash used in operating activities narrowed materially to $(0.03) million in FY 2025, compared to $(1.9) million in FY 2024, primarily reflecting tighter credit underwriting and working capital management, which helped stabilize cash flow despite weaker sales.

The post Verde AgriTech Announces Q4 & FY 2025 Earnings Results appeared first on Verde AgriTech.

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil – March 17, 2026 – Verde AgriTech Ltd. (TSX: NPK | OTCQX: VNPKF) (“Verde” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional assay results from 17 auger holes at its Minas Americas Global Alliance rare earths project (“Minas Americas” or the “Project”) in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The new results extend the same discovery model Verde has been building since October: shallow ionic-clay mineralization carrying an NdPr-led magnet basket with significant Dy/Tb support, now confirmed in additional multi-meter zones as the drill-confirmed footprint expands beyond 3.5 km².

“From the first surface results through ionic-adsorption confirmation and the PT-34 breakthrough, Minas Americas has been telling one coherent discovery story,” said Cristiano Veloso, Founder and CEO of Verde. “This batch strengthens that same story in the ways that matter most: a stronger flagship interval in MAV_AD_0028, a second 5 m proof interval in MAV_AD_0035, additional corroboration in MAV_AD_0042 and MAV_AD_0044, and open-ended continuity in MAV_AD_0029. We are seeing shallow thickness, repeatable internal enrichment, strong NdPr and significant Dy/Tb inside a growing footprint – exactly the combination we want as we advance toward a 3D model, representative metallurgical composites and, ultimately, a maiden resource.”

At this stage, the key variables are clear: shallow position, repeatable multi-meter enrichment, magnet-basket quality and growing scale. This release advances all four without changing the geological model that Verde has been reporting since the Project was first disclosed.

Highlights

• Flagship interval: MAV_AD_0028 returned 10 m from surface (0-10 m) averaging 8,439 ppm TREO (0.84% ​​TREO) and 1,965 ppm MREO, including 5 m (3-8 m) averaging 11,032 ppm TREO (1.10% TREO) and 2,717 ppm MREO, with 2,634 ppm NdPr oxides, approximately 66.8 ppm Dy₂O₃ and approximately 15.8 ppm Tb₄O₇.
• Second proof interval plus corroboration: MAV_AD_0035 returned 5 m (6-11 m) averaging 8.273 ppm TREO and 2.013 ppm MREO; MAV_AD_0044 added 8 m (8-16 m) averaging 6,172 ppm TREO, including 5 m (11-16 m) averaging 6,724 ppm TREO; and MAV_AD_0042 returned 2 m (11-13 m) averaging 8,404 ppm TREO and 2,117 ppm MREO.
• Open-ended continuity: MAV_AD_0029 returned 16 m from surface (0-16 m) averaging 2,869 ppm TREO and 541 ppm MREO, including 8 m (8-16 m) averaging 4,650 ppm TREO and 923 ppm MREO, and ended in mineralization.
• Repeatability is strengthening: five of the 17 newly reported holes contain continuous runs of at least 0.40% TREO over 3 m or more, and three of those contain continuous runs of at least 0.60% TREO over 3 m or more.
• Magnet-basket quality remains a defining strength: in the strongest new multi-metre intervals, MREO accounts for roughly 22%-25% of TREO, while Y₂O₃ exceeds 100 ppm over approximately 26 m across five of the 17 new holes.
• Scale continues to grow: the drill-confirmed footprint now exceeds 3.5 km² within a mapped and surface-sampled geological unit exceeding 15 km², and drilling is ongoing across eight additional targets.

Table 1: Selected Magnet-Basket and Continuity Intervals

Why This Batch Matters

The geological model at Minas Americas is not changing; it is strengthening. The same signature already established at surface and in earlier PT-34 drilling – shallow position, an NdPr-rich magnet basket, persistent Dy/Tb and laterally continuous clay mineralization – is now repeating across a larger footprint.

What matters most in this batch is not one more isolated assay. It is that the Project now has a stronger flagship interval, a second 5 m proof interval, additional corroboration in separate holes and local continuity beyond current end-of-hole. That combination makes the discovery more defensible technically and more meaningful economically.

In the best new multi-metre intervals, magnet rare earth oxides account for roughly 22%-25% of TREO. NdPr remains the core of the basket, while Dy/Tb strengthen within the higher-grade windows. Together, grade, thickness, basket quality and continuity are all moving in the same direction.

Figure 1: Drill hole plan map showing distribution of high-grade intercepts in the resource potential area.

Dy/Tb Context: High-Coercivity Magnet Metals Continue to Stand Out

In the 5 m enrichment interval in MAV_AD_0028 (3-8 m), Dy₂O₃ averages approximately 66.8 ppm and Tb₄O₇ approximately 15.8 ppm, for a combined approximately 82 ppm Dy₂O₃ + Tb₄O₇ alongside 2,634 ppm NdPr oxides. Figure 2 places that interval in context against selected published Brazilian ionic clay projects. The comparison is provided for context only; drill intercepts are not directly comparable to resource averages because of differences in sampling, compositing, cut-off grades, domaining and reporting frameworks, and Verde has not independently verified those public disclosures.

TECHNICAL COMMENTARY

What the New Holes Are Showing

In ionic adsorption clay systems, the important technical question is whether the better magnet-basket chemistry strengthens within the same shallow domains that carry the best NdPr values. The new drilling continues to answer that question positively.

MAV_AD_0028 provides the clearest near-surface enrichment profile in this batch, and MAV_AD_0035 confirms a second 5 m zone of the same style. MAV_AD_0042 and MAV_AD_0044 add corroboration elsewhere in the system, while MAV_AD_0029 shows that mineralization remains open locally at depth.

The higher-grade internal zones are metres thick and nested within broader shallow mineralized profiles rather than appearing as narrow isolated spikes. That geometry is supportive of both 3D modelling and the selection of representative composites for metallurgical testing.

Taken together, the new holes suggest the Project is evolving the right way technically: not by changing the discovery model, but by repeating it.

Yttrium: Strategic Heavy-REE Support Repeats in the New Data

Yttrium (“Y”) is not included in MREO and should not be confused with the Project’s core magnet basket. In ionic adsorption clay systems, however, it remains relevant as broader heavy-REE support and as potential future optionality, subject to metallurgical behavior.

Across the 17 new holes, Y₂O₃ exceeds 100 ppm over approximately 26 m across five holes – MAV_AD_0028, MAV_AD_0029, MAV_AD_0035, MAV_AD_0042 and MAV_AD_0044. In the flagship hole MAV_AD_0028, the 5 m enrichment interval (3-8 m) averages approximately 196 ppm Y₂O₃, with Y₂O₃ remaining above 100 ppm from surface to 9 m.

The same pattern repeats in MAV_AD_0035, MAV_AD_0042 and MAV_AD_0044, showing that the strongest magnet-basket zones are also carrying broader heavy-REE support.

Previously reported hole MAV_AD_0002 remains the high-water mark at 606 ppm Y₂O₃ over 9.0-10.0 m, alongside Dy₂O₃ 86 ppm and Tb₄O₇ 17 ppm. Taken together, the old and new data suggest yttrium is part of the Project’s broader heavy-REE profile, while any future contribution to product value will depend on metallurgical behavior.

Scale and Next Steps

PT-34 remains the Project’s initial drilling anchor, with significant intercepts spanning approximately 1.7 km based on the maximum collar-to-collar distance among holes returning continuous mineralization of at least 0.40% TREO over at least 3 m. The current batch extends that same signature beyond the original anchor area.

Across Minas Americas, the drill-confirmed footprint now exceeds 3.5 km² within a mapped and surface-sampled geological unit exceeding 15 km². Drilling remains underway across eight additional targets, suggesting the area drilled to date may still represent only a portion of the broader system.

Next work will focus on integrating the new results into the 3D geological model, selecting representative composite intervals for metallurgical testing, and continuing step-out drilling across additional targets.

TECHNICAL NOTES

• Intervals are downhole lengths. Drillholes are vertical; based on the current geological model of a gently undulating mineralized horizon, downhole lengths are interpreted to represent approximate true thickness.
• Selected composite intervals shown in Table 1 are length-weighted composites of contiguous assayed intervals chosen to illustrate either higher-grade magnet-basket zones or longer continuity intervals. Assay grades are reported as head grades in parts per million (ppm). 10,000 ppm = 1.0%. Rounding may result in minor differences.
• This news release reports exploration results which are preliminary in nature and do not constitute an estimate of mineral resources or mineral reserves.
• Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) refers to the sum of the oxides of rare earth elements.
• Magnetic Rare Earth Oxides (MREO) refers to the sum of the oxides of the primary magnet rare earth elements: Pr₆O₁₁ + Nd₂O₃ + Tb₄O₇ + Dy₂O₃.
• NdPr oxides refer to the sum of neodymium oxide (Nd₂O₃) and praseodymium oxide (Pr₆O₁₁).
