PyroGenesis Inc. (“PyroGenesis”) (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX:
PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY1), a high-tech company that designs,
develops, manufactures and commercializes all-electric plasma
processes and sustainable solutions to support heavy industry in
their energy transition, emission reduction, commodity security,
and waste remediation efforts, provides the following comments in
response to investor questions about the impact from the recently
announced tariffs between the U.S. and Canada, specifically with
regards to potential U.S. tariffs imposed on Canadian products.
Further to our press release dated February 4,
2025, management is of the continued opinion that the imposition of
tariffs will have little to no direct negative impact on
PyroGenesis’ bottom line. Notably, PyroGenesis manufactures and
assembles many of its key systems outside of Canada, including its
Drosrite™ aluminum metal dross recovery systems, which are
manufactured in the U.S. Most of the components used in other
PyroGenesis’ systems are manufactured outside of Canada in
non-tariff-targeted countries.
Moreover, outside of clients in the U.S. defense
sector, the bulk of PyroGenesis’ current and prospective clients
are located outside of the United States, specifically in Europe,
Canada, and the Middle East.
It is important to note that the majority of the
company’s contracts are denominated in US dollars or EUROs, as many
international clients conduct business in these currencies.
Specifically, the backlog noted in our press release dated February
12, 2025, of $58M, is comprised of contracts by currency exposure
as follows:
USD$: 84% of total backlogEUROs: 4% of total
backlogCAD$: 12% of total backlog
PyroGenesis provides a number of technology
solutions across a three-vertical solution ecosystem that aligns
with economic drivers that are key to global heavy industry. The
three verticals are Commodity Security &
Optimization, Energy Transition and Emission
Reduction, and Waste Remediation.
