F-4 Table of Contents Loop Industries, Inc. Three Months Ended May 31, 2024 and 2023 Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. The Company, Basis of Presentation and Going Concern 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 29, 2024, filed with the SEC on May 29, 2024. 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 29, 2024, 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, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2025, or for any other period. 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. Going Concern These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Since its inception, the Company has been in the pre-commercialization stage with no material revenues from customers, and its ongoing operations and commercialization plans have been financed primarily by raising equity and debt. Therefore, 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, 2024, the Company’s balance of cash and cash equivalents was $ 5,291 . Management continuously monitors the Company’s cash resources against its short-term cash commitments to ensure there is 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 its ability to continue as a going concern. In preparing this going concern 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 the estimation of amount and timing of future cash outflows and inflows. Based on its assessment, management estimates that current available liquidity and forecasted net cash flows will not be sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations, commitments and budgeted expenditures the next twelve months from the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements issuance date. These events and conditions are material uncertainties that raise substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. F-5 Table of Contents The Company’s ability to move to the next stage of its strategic development and construct manufacturing plants is dependent on, among other factors, 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 is seeking to finalize the negotiation of previously announced financing initiatives on acceptable terms (see Note 16 for additional details), however, there is no assurance it will succeed. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 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, the net realizable value of inventories, 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, 2024 and 2023, 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, 2024, the potentially dilutive securities consisted of 2,971,216 outstanding stock options (2023 – 2,782,000 ), 4,399,060 outstanding restricted stock units (2023 – 4,306,655 ), and 7,089,400 outstanding warrants (2023 – 7,089,400 ). Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this Update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information and includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The updated standard is effective for our annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, other than additional disclosures in our notes to the consolidated financial statements. F-6 Table of Contents In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The updated standard is effective for our annual periods beginning in fiscal 2025 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures. 3.
