Return to Profitability: Net income of $1.6 million in fiscal 2025, compared to a net loss of $4.6 million in fiscal 2024, a $6.2 million year-over-year improvement.
Compliance-Market Positioning: Established track record in BC's Output-Based Pricing System (BC OBPS) and active project pipeline targeting compliance-aligned, equity-owned carbon credit supply.
VANCOUVER, BC, April 30, 2026 /CNW/ - Ostrom Climate Solutions Inc. ("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 services, today announced its audited financial results for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Fiscal 2025 marked a significant inflection point for Ostrom Climate, with the Company delivering substantial revenue growth, achieving profitability, and generating positive cash flow. The promising financial results in 2025 were a result of extensive restructuring and strategic repositioning initiatives undertaken by management in late 2024 and early 2025 to focus on carbon project development and trading. These initiatives included investment in its long-term carbon development project, implementing aggressive cost containment measures and targeting verified emission reduction ("VER") trading opportunities, most notably in compliance markets such as British Columbia's Output-Based Pricing System ("BC OBPS"). The benefits of these actions have seen Ostrom Climate generate record revenue and profits in 2025, particularly in Q4.
Management Commentary
"Fiscal 2025 demonstrated that the intentional decisions we made to reposition Ostrom's strategy are delivering results," said Navdeep Dhaliwal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ostrom Climate Solutions Inc. "After a difficult but necessary reset in 2024, the Company delivered a meaningful turnaround in 2025, with revenue growing to $25.8 million and net income of $1.6 million, results weighted heavily toward Q4. This improvement was driven by increased VER trading activity in compliance markets, a leaner operating structure, and the early benefits of a focused strategic repositioning. We believe this is the beginning of building a strong foundation for long-term value, and that foundation is already taking shape: Ostrom is actively building a pipeline of development projects in which the Company intends to hold material equity stakes and ownership of carbon credits, targeting end-use compliance markets where price signals are clear and durable."
"The implementation of the BC OBPS is a structurally superior market mechanism because it establishes a defined carbon price and imposes mandatory compliance obligations on industrial emitters, creating genuine, price-supported demand for eligible offsets. More broadly, we are observing an accelerating global trend toward regional and industry-specific compliance markets that place an explicit price on carbon, a development that materially improves the economics of developing and financing the kinds of projects Ostrom is building. Ostrom was well-positioned to capitalize on compliance-market demand in 2025 through its established trading relationships and track record of VER delivery. At the same time, our results should be viewed with appropriate context: carbon trading revenue is inherently subject to timing, customer delivery schedules, and recognition of deferred revenue, factors outside our direct control. For that reason, we continue to measure our progress primarily on gross profit, operating discipline, and cash generation."
"We are building toward a business model that generates recurring, high-quality carbon credit supply from projects where Ostrom holds material equity and credit ownership, not just trading and advisory fees. This shift toward equity-based project development is central to our long-term value creation thesis and is directly aligned with the macro trend toward compliance markets that provide the price certainty required to develop and finance high-integrity projects. We remain focused on executing with discipline, capturing VER trading opportunities as they arise, and advancing our project pipeline in a manner that is financially sustainable. The results in 2025 reinforce our conviction that Ostrom's strategy is correct and that its long-term prospects are well-aligned with where carbon markets are heading."
Financial Highlights:
The fiscal year and fourth quarter financial results reflect a sharp improvement from fiscal 2024, when the Company was still absorbing restructuring costs, project development investment, and lower revenue caused by market uncertainty and the planned wind-down of lower-margin legacy consulting mandates. In light of these changes, the Company presents the following fiscal year and fourth quarter highlights:
