NXT Energy Solutions Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results CALGARY, AB, November 12, 2025 – NXT Energy Solutions Inc. ("NXT" or the "Company") (TSX: SFD; OTCQB: NSFDF) today announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise identified. Bruce G. Wilcox, CEO of NXT, commented, “The company's revenue performance for the first nine months of 2025 marks a dramatic turnaround from the prior year. Year -to-date SFD® -related revenue reached $14.21 million versus $0.60 million for YTD 2024 . This growth was driven by two key projects: the African SFD® survey and the Southeast Asia SFD® survey which highlights a significant increase in commercial activity and project execution. NXT achieved a significant improvement in bottom -line performance, reporting a YT D 2025 net loss of $1.08 million, a reduction from the $6.28 million net loss in YTD 2024. The YTD 2025 result was heavily skewed by a non-cash accounting charge. The company recognized a loss of $5.83 million on the fair value remeasurement of its convertible debentures. This charge is a direct result of the significant increase in NXT's common share price during the period, which increase d the liability value of the conversion feature. This accounting requirement masks a much stronger underlying operational performance. Excluding this non -cash accounting charge, the Company's pre -tax operational performance would shift from a loss of $1.08 million to a profit of approximately $4.75 million, dramatically illustrating the positive impact of the year's commercial success. Year to date approximately US$5.72 million, or 92.7% of the debentures have been converted into approximately 29.4 million common shares. I am also pleased to announce that our team has deployed to Pakistan to commence the data acquisition phase of the SFD® survey for AL-Haj Enterprises Private Limited (“AEPL”). We expect to deliver NXT’s interpretations and recommendations during the fourth quarter of 2025.” Key financial and operational highlights during the third quarter of 2025 are summarized below: • the Company recorded SFD®-related revenues of approximately $14.21 million for YTD 2025 versus $0.60 million for YTD 2024; • the Company recorded SFD®-related revenues of approximately $0.09 million for Q3-25 versus $nil for Q3- 24; • in July 2025 the Company completed the integration phase of the Southeast Asia SFD® Survey; • net working capital was approximately $2.60 million at September 30, 2025, an increase of $9.28 million since December 31, 2024; • cash flow provided by operating activities was approximately $0.73 million during YTD 2025, compared to $2.58 million used by operating activities in YTD 2024; • cash flow used by operating activities was approximately $1.08 million during Q3 -25, compared to $1.32 million used by operating activities in Q3-24; • cash and short-term investments as at September 30, 2025, were approximately $0.95 million; • for YTD 2025 the net loss was $1.08 million, including non -cash charges for stock -based compensation expenses (“SBCE”), amortization expenses and remeasurement loss, all totaling approximately $7.97 million, versus a net loss of $6.28 million in YTD 2024; • for Q3-25 the net loss was $1.78 million, including SBCE, amortization expenses and remeasurement loss, all totaling approximately $0.22 million, versus a net loss of $1.48 million in Q3-24;
