Company Announcements

KAMLOOPS, BC , Sept. 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Progressive Planet (TSXV: PLAN) (OTCQB: ASHXF) ("Progressive Planet", "PLAN", or the "Company") is proud to provide highlights for the first quarter ended July 31, 2025.

Financial Highlights include the following when compared to the first quarter of the prior year:

• Net income increased 328% to $1,597,712,
• Revenue increased by 27% to $5,914,187,
• Gross  profit increased by 46% to $2,276,982, and
• The Company repaid $412,839 of its long-term bank debt.

During the most recently completed fiscal year that ended on April 30, 2025, annual revenues were flat, as was disclosed in the news release issued on August 21, 2025. This changed in the current quarter, where the company saw material growth in revenue compared to the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. The revenue increase was driven by strong demand for the Company's products across all major product categories.

The Company also enjoyed higher gross margins (38.5% in the current quarter compared to 33.5% in the comparable quarter), in part by controlling fixed costs while increasing revenues. As a result, the Company achieved record gross profit in the current quarter.

"All the credit is due to our team of 60 people working in unison to grow shareholder value while making products that we are all proud of," stated Steve Harpur, CEO.
