Base Carbon Reports Third-Quarter 2026 Operating and Financial Results

TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Base Carbon Inc. (Cboe CA: BCBN) (OTCQX: BCBNF) with operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Base Carbon Capital Partners Corp. (“BCCPC”, together, with affiliates, “Base Carbon”, or the “Company”), is pleased to announce its third-quarter 2026 consolidated operational and financial results. All financial references are denominated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Highlights:

• Continued Rwanda CORSIA Sales: The Company continues to strategically and opportunistically monetize its CORSIA-eligible¹ carbon credits from the Rwanda cookstoves project. During the quarter, the Company received approximately $1.9 million in cash proceeds from sales.
• CORSIA Eligibility Extended Across Issued Rwanda Credits: During the quarter, Verra completed CORSIA-eligible tagging of 342,356 carbon credits held by the Company and 639,609 carbon credits held by project partner, the DelAgua Group (“DelAgua”), bringing the aggregate number of CORSIA-eligible tagged carbon credits issued from the project to 1,959,812.
• Positive EU CORSIA Proposal and Pricing Momentum: The European Commission’s proposal embeds CORSIA into European Union law through 2035. CORSIA-eligible carbon credit pricing strengthened significantly during the quarter, with the spot price of the ICE Dec-26 CP1 futures contract increasing approximately 39%^2,3.
• Financial Results: The Company ended the quarter with total assets of approximately $105.8 million, including $2.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $13.5 million in carbon credit inventory, and $3.3 million in the carbon credit revenue participation asset. The Company reported third-quarter 2026 earnings per share of $0.02 (Q3 2025: $0.02).

“With approximately two million CORSIA-eligible carbon credits now issued from our Rwanda project and a regular semi-annual production cadence, we believe we hold one of the few fully eligible, uncommitted inventories available to the aviation compliance market,” said Michael Costa, Chief Executive Officer of Base Carbon. “Both pricing and volumes traded strengthened significantly during the quarter, and we will continue to monetize our inventories in an opportunistic and accretive manner. In Vietnam, the government continues to advance the Article 6 framework through which our project’s carbon credits may become CORSIA-eligible, and in India our project remains on track for first issuance under the new VM0047 methodology in 2027.”

Financial Highlights:

Rwanda Cookstoves Project

The Company continued to monetize CORSIA-eligible carbon credits generated by its Rwanda cookstoves project, receiving cash proceeds of approximately $1.9 million during the quarter. Following the Government of Rwanda’s submission of its Biennial Transparency Report (“BTR”), Verra completed CORSIA-eligible tagging of 342,356 carbon credits held by the Company, resulting in all carbon credits held in the Company’s inventory being eligible for CORSIA’s First Phase compliance period. In September 2026, following the purchase of the required insurance, Verra completed CORSIA-eligible tagging of 639,609 previously issued carbon credits held by DelAgua pursuant to the project agreement and revenue sharing arrangement.

Subsequent to quarter-end, 387,015 carbon credits were issued from the project, marking the project’s fifth issuance. These carbon credits are held by DelAgua pursuant to the project agreement and revenue sharing arrangement. The Company and DelAgua are pursuing CORSIA-eligible tagging of these carbon credits through inclusion in the Government of Rwanda’s forthcoming BTR submission.

As of the date of this release, the Company holds approximately 0.9 million CORSIA-eligible carbon credits in inventory, with a further approximately 1.1 million carbon credits held by DelAgua, of which approximately 0.7 million are CORSIA-eligible. Going forward, the project is anticipated to generate approximately 2.2 million additional carbon credits on regular 6-month intervals during the remainder of the project’s crediting period, with the next issuance anticipated in the first half of 2027.

Vietnam Household Devices Project

During the quarter, the government of Vietnam continued to make meaningful progress developing its internal carbon market and finalizing its Article 6 and Letter of Authorization (“LOA”) process. Receipt of an LOA would position the project’s carbon credits for potential compliance market eligibility, including CORSIA and Singapore’s carbon tax regime.

Also, during the quarter, the water purifier component of the project was transitioned to Verra’s newest VMR0015 methodology for vintages after 2027, which is expected to reduce carbon credit generation from the water purifier component by approximately 15%. Subject to the receipt of the necessary governmental approvals and the exercise of project expansion rights, the Company now estimates the project could generate approximately 15.3 million carbon credits eligible for international transfer and potential compliance market use.

India Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR) Project

During the quarter, the Company engaged an independent third-party consultant, Kanop, to conduct the eligibility analysis required for the project’s transition to Verra’s VM0047 methodology and made capital payments of approximately $0.3 million to its project development partner, Value Network Ventures Pte. Ltd. (“VNV”).

During and subsequent to the quarter, VNV continued regular-way replanting activities to continually replenish the project’s standing stock, at no incremental cost to the Company, pursuant to the project agreement. The project remains on track for first carbon credit issuance in 2027 and continues to pursue Verra’s ABACUS label.
