FRX Innovations Announces Q2 2022 Financials

FRX Innovations (TSXV:FRXI) (“FRX,” or the “Company”), a leader in eco-friendly flame retardant solutions, today announced the filing of the Company’s financial results for the three and six month period ended June 30th, 2022. Highlights from the quarter are summarized below, while full financial statements and other supporting documents have been filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

Chief Executive Officer Marc Lebel commented, “We are pleased to announce our first quarterly results as a public company and are extremely excited for what lies ahead for FRX and its shareholders. A major disruption in the multi-billion dollar flame retardant industry is under way as law makers continue to phase out the usage of harmful chemicals from everyday products. FRX is positioned as one of the very few solutions to help OEMs address this seismic shift in demand.”

Highlights

  • FRX’s common shares began trading on the TMX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol FRXI.
  • Concurrent with the public listing, the Company closed a brokered private placement with Echelon Wealth Partners for gross proceeds of approximately CAD $7 million.
  • FRX received TCO Certification, a major industry endorsement for the Company’s Nofia® branded line of flame-retardant products.
  • ChemFORWARD classified Nofia® as a verified SAFER® flame-retardant solution.
  • Following legislation enacted into law by both the EU and the State of New York during Q1 2022, Washington State moved to ban the use of brominated flame retardants as a class of materials in all plastic casings across a wide range of electronics and appliances used indoors. The most aggressive legislation to date affecting the industry.
  • Other legislative moves away from halogenated flame retardants are expected in the coming quarters, all of which creates strong tail winds for recognized sustainable flame-retardant solutions like Nofia®.
  • Sales for the 1st half of 2022 was USD $2.4M, despite both strict Covid 19 related lock downs in China that severely affected the Chinese economy and global supply chains; and the uncertainty created by the Russia/Ukraine conflict as electricity prices in EU more than tripled in cost. FRX did put in a price increase in Q3 to normalize its margins.
  • Nofia® was selected for its high performance and sustainability attributes in lithium-ion battery casings. The lithium-ion batteries are used in a wide range of mobility applications like RVs, Yachts, Golf carts and in power tool applications. Nofia was adopted for its green credentials as well as providing improved high temperature and impact resistance while delivering outstanding flame retardancy.
  • FRX expanded its relationship with a major supplier to a German luxury automotive brand as the flame-retardant technology in the large trim and headliner foam application found in the passenger cabin. This represented the second successful car model for this OEM to adopt Nofia®. Nofia® was adopted for its green credentials as well as its ability to meet very demanding anti fogging specifications while delivering outstanding flame retardancy.
