TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carbon Streaming Corporation (Cboe CA: NETZ) (OTCID: OFSTF) (FSE: M2Q) (“Carbon Streaming” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. All figures are expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Carbon Streaming Chief Executive Officer Marin Katusa stated: “During the second quarter of 2026, Carbon Streaming continued the mandate to strengthen its financial position and maximize value from its existing assets. During the quarter, we completed the repayment arrangements related to the Amazon Portfolio Royalty, resulting in $1.06 million of cash proceeds. The corporate priority continues to be to maximize value from our existing assets while exploring all strategic options to enhance shareholder value which includes acquisitions, divestments, corporate transactions, and strategic partnerships.

In line with this commitment to shareholders, the Company continues to pursue its statement of claim against certain former executives, board members, consultants, and associated entities to hold the defendants accountable for actions that have caused financial harm to the Company, as outlined in the lawsuit. While certain defendants have filed counterclaims, we believe these to be without merit and have filed a defense to these counterclaims to vigorously defend our position. Looking ahead, we remain focused on protecting all our Stream investments, preserving our rights, and pursuing opportunities that can unlock long-term value for shareholders.”

Portfolio Updates

Community Carbon Stream: On March 12, 2026, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Community Carbon and UpEnergy Group (collectively, the “UPE Parties”), pursuant to which the UPE Parties agreed to acquire the Company’s interest in the Community Carbon Stream together with the related carbon credit inventory for total consideration of $6.0 million (the “Community Carbon Buyout Agreement”).

In June 2026, the UPE Parties failed to make the required closing payment under the Community Carbon Buyout Agreement. As a result, the Community Carbon Buyout Agreement terminated in accordance with its terms. The Company retained the $0.1 million non-refundable deposit received under the agreement, and the Community Carbon Stream remains in full force and effect.

Amazon Portfolio Royalty: During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company received the final repayment from Future Carbon International LLC under the repayment arrangements previously entered into with Future Carbon International LLC and Ecological Assessoria Ltda, the counterparties to the Amazon Portfolio Royalty. As a result, the repayment arrangements have been fully satisfied, and the Amazon Portfolio Royalty has terminated in accordance with its terms. In aggregate, the Company received $1.06 million under the repayment arrangements.

Legal proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation arising out of the Company’s operations. Damages claimed under such litigation may be material or may be indeterminate, and the outcome of such litigation may materially impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. While the Company assesses the merits of each lawsuit and asserts its interests or defends itself accordingly, the Company may be required to incur significant expenses or devote significant resources to pursue or defend itself against such litigation. Except as disclosed herein or elsewhere in this news release, there are no legal proceedings or regulatory actions pending or known by the Company to which it is a party or in respect of which any of the properties of the Company are subject that are anticipated to be material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. In the summary provided below, the Company has provided the estimates with respect to each claim where such an estimate is available; however, the estimates provided are not indicative of the probability of the final outcome.

Lawsuit against former Officers, Directors and Corporate Defendants: In April 2025, the Company sued several former executives, directors, consultants and associated entities in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. As outlined in the claim, Carbon Streaming is trying to hold the defendants to account for what it says are breaches of fiduciary duty, fraudulent misrepresentation, and unjust enrichment that have caused financial harm to the Company. Please refer to the Company’s news release titled “Carbon Streaming Announces Filing of Claim Against Former Executives and Consultants” dated April 14, 2025 for further information.

During the third and fourth quarters of 2025, certain defendants in the claim delivered counterclaims against the Company and certain acting directors and officers, Mr. Katusa, Mr. Garret, Mr. de Groot, and Ms. Schroeder. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company delivered its replies to defences and defences to the counterclaim, as did the directors and officers. The Company has reviewed the counterclaims against it, and considers that the counterclaims are without merit, that it has defences against the allegations raised in the counterclaims and that the Company’s exposure to any additional liability is remote. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position. The Company also considers that the counterclaims against the current directors and officers are without merit, that they have defences against the allegations raised in the counterclaims and that the current directors’ and officers’ exposure to liability is remote.

Sustainable Community Stream Dispute: In the second quarter of 2025, the Company initiated arbitration proceedings against Will Solutions Inc. (“Will Solutions”) before the ADR Chambers International in connection with the termination of the purchase and sale agreement dated June 20, 2022, between Will Solutions and the Company (the “Sustainable Community Stream”). The termination, which was exercised by the Company in the third quarter of 2024, was a result of, among other things, the failure of Will Solutions to meet its milestone related to the registration of its Ontario project and its failure to develop and implement the project in accordance with the project plan (including continued delays in project development activities and lower-than-expected project enrollments). The arbitration proceeding is ongoing. Will Solutions delivered a short answer and counterclaim in the third quarter of 2025 and the Company has responded. The Company believes the counterclaim is without merit and, based on its assessment of the facts and current legal advice, considers the probability of an economic outflow to be remote. As at June 30, 2026, $4.0 million of the upfront deposit had been paid, which was advanced upon closing of the transaction in June 2022. The Company intends to strictly enforce its legal and contractual rights under the Sustainable Community Stream and seeks to recover its initial investment through these arbitration proceedings.

Strategy

Carbon Streaming is focused on maximizing value for its shareholders from its existing portfolio and cash resources while evaluating all strategic options. The Company’s carbon credit streaming agreements retain a portion of the cash flows from carbon credit sales, with stream-specific retention varying.

Outlook

Carbon Streaming continues to reposition itself for success and for maximizing shareholder value amid ongoing challenges, remaining focused on cash flow optimization. By the first half of 2025, the Company had significantly reduced employee headcount and renegotiated and amended vendor agreements to lower operating expenses. As the Company’s broader strategy continues to evolve, these steps have resulted in significant reductions to annualized ongoing operating expenses when compared to 2024, and the Company continues to operate with a materially reduced cost structure.

While the Company aims to generate cash flow through the sale of carbon credits, there remains ongoing uncertainty regarding the evolving nature of carbon markets, including potential registry delays, project-specific issues, and methodology-related risks, in addition to impacts the industry may face as a result of general economic, political and regulatory conditions.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company amended the Azuero Reforestation Stream, which eliminated all further funding obligations, while providing the Company with exposure to credits generated from the project and the option to participate in future funding during specified election periods.

The Company continues to pursue its ongoing litigation matters and will use all available legal remedies to protect its rights. The Company will continue to evaluate all strategic options, including acquisitions, divestments, corporate transactions, financings, other strategic partnership opportunities or continuing to operate as a public company.

For a comprehensive discussion of the risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could impact the Company’s strategy and outlook, including without limitation, changes in demand for carbon credits and Indonesian developments described herein, investors are urged to review the section of the Company’s most recently filed Annual Information Form entitled “Risk Factors” a copy of which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

About Carbon Streaming

Carbon Streaming’s focus is to maximize value for its shareholders by optimizing both its portfolio of carbon credit projects that have a positive impact on the environment, local communities, and biodiversity and its cash resources.
