MONTREAL, April 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company, (the “Company”, the “Corporation” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powder, plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, today announced that a potential contract (“Contract”) of over $20M in first year revenues, together with significant subsequent years revenues, is imminent.

Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis, provides additional information in the following Q&A format.

Q. How significant is this potential Contract?

A. If awarded, as we anticipate, this Contract would be the single largest Contract in the Company’s history, representing over 3x last year’s revenues, and addresses the need of a very significant entity. Obviously, this Contract would also make PyroGenesis profitable.

Q. Do you have the infrastructure in place to perform under this Contract and will you need to hire additional personal to complete?

A. We have both the infrastructure and personnel in place to complete the project. We do not anticipate the need for additional capex or hiring more than one additional person. As a result, we anticipate very high margins with this Contract.

Q. Can you give us a sense of the economics, timeframe and details of the subsequent year revenues?

A. Most certainly.

First year revenues of $20M, together with subsequent year revenues, all meet our minimum targeted gross margins.

The net present value of all subsequent year’s revenues (using a 5% discount rate) is between $30-50M, giving the Contract a total value of between $50-70M.

Q. Why did you say “imminent”, and what are the next steps?

A. We said imminent because we expect this to be formally recognized shortly. Once this formal recognition has taken place, there will be a contractual arrangement after which a formal signing will kick off the Contract. This contractual arrangement will be quite detailed as it spans several years.

Q. What product line is this Contract for?

A. As much as I would like to, I cannot disclose, at this time, which business line it is in, or even where it is geographically. What I can disclose is that it is not related to our Military business line, and that it fits very well with our announcements over the past six months.

Q. How confident are you that this will materialize in the near term? 

A. There is always a risk, but we are of the opinion that all major hurdles have been dealt with, and the path is now clear to contract. As a result, we felt this was material news and we have an obligation to our shareholders to disclose at this time even before the formal contract is awarded.

Q. How does this impact the long-term prospects for the Company?

A. As disclosed, this will be a very significant Contract for the Company. This is in addition to the approximately $12M in revenues that will be generated from the two-build order for Plasma Waste Destruction Systems for the US Navy, we previously announced, which translates into combined revenues well in excess of $30M over the next 12-18 months.

  • Completed its cutting-edge Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) metal powder production facility.
  • The state-of-the-art facility is strictly dedicated to the production of plasma atomized Ti-6Al-4V powders, primarily targeting the aerospace and biomedical industries
  • PyroGenesis is a quality supplier of Ti-6Al-4V powder for the AM industry

MONTREAL, Oct. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V:PYR), (the “Company”, the “Corporation” or “PyroGenesis”) a Company that designs, develops and manufactures plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch systems, is pleased to announce today the completion of its cutting-edge Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) metal powder production facility

This state-of-the-art facility will be strictly dedicated to the production of plasma atomized Ti-6Al-4V powders, primarily targeting the aerospace and biomedical industries.

“We are very excited about having completed this milestone. It puts PyroGenesis squarely on the map as a quality supplier of Ti-6Al-4V powder for the AM industry,” said Mr. Massimo Dattilo, Vice President of PyroGenesis Additive. “In parallel, we are also investigating other materials which can be produced with our other reactors, currently in our main facility.”

This facility now (i) houses a new plasma-based atomization unit, incorporating some of the previously announced advances, (ii) inventory storage, and (iii) logistics operations. These Step 1 innovations have reduced capital cost significantly. Future innovations will, once completed, increase yield and production rates.

“This next logical step of incorporating some of the previously announced improvements into a cutting-edge facility is now complete,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “After investing over $2.5M into this facility, all that remains is to incorporate post treatment equipment for it to be a stand-alone facility.”

Of note, the facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified and is on track to be AS9100D (Aviation, Space, and Defense) certified by year-end. Upon receipt, PyroGenesis will then pursue ISO 13485 (Medical devices).

Separately, PyroGenesis Additive will be exhibiting at Formnext in Frankfurt, Germany between November 13th and 16th (Hall 3.1 Booth A72). Contact us to book an appointment, or meet with us there.
