( " Ostrom " or the " Company " ) ( TSXV : COO ) ( Frankfurt : 9EAA ) , a leading provider of carbon project development , net- zero climate solutions , and carbon credit marketing and trading , today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30 , 2026 . Second Quarter Financial Highlights : ■ Q2 2026 revenue totaled $ 550,084 , compared with $ 860,202 in Q2 2025. Revenue from the Company's Verified Emission Reduction ( VER ) trading business is inherently seasonal , with sales typically weighted toward the second half of the year ahead of the November 30 British Columbia Output - Based Pricing System ( BC OBPS ) compliance deadline ; the quarter also reflected the concentration of high - margin deferred - revenue recognition in the first quarter of 2026 and the continued wind - down of legacy consulting mandates . On a year - to - date basis , revenue increased 54 % to $ 2,293,826 , from $ 1,494,166 in the first half of 2025 . ■ Gross profit for the quarter was $ 207,035 , compared with $ 277,407 in Q2 2025 , with gross margin improving to 38 % from 32 % on a higher margin realized on VER sales . For the six months , gross profit was $ 1,705,286 ( H1 2025 - $ 598,102 ) at a 74 % margin ( H1 2025 - 40 % ) , reflecting the high - margin recognition of deferred revenue through opportunistically timed , low- cost VER purchases and retirements in the first quarter . ■ The Company reported a net loss of $ 578,918 for the quarter , a 15 % improvement from the net loss of $ 683,108 in Q2 2025 , as lower operating expenses more than offset the seasonally lower trading revenue . Adjusted net loss was $ 414,155 , compared with $ 375,849 in Q2 2025 , excluding share - based compensation , milestone - based consulting fees intended for share settlement and Smart - Rice Project R & D expenses . On a year - to - date basis , the Company returned to profitability with net income of $ 114,278 , compared with a net loss of $ 1,399,465 in the first half of 2025 . ■ Operating expenses declined to $ 736,267 from $ 909,794 in Q2 2025 , a reduction of $ 173,527 , reflecting continued cost discipline , lower share - based payments , lower selling , general and administrative costs and reduced research and development spend as the Smart - Rice Project advanced toward verification . For the six months , operating expenses declined 20 % to $ 1,497,284 , from $ 1,869,268 in the first half of 2025 .
