Erik Deaner, CEO of Carbiotix, comments:
“I am very pleased to announce that we are accelerating the timeline of our JCDA project by roughly 3 months, with the leading date producer announced on the 11th of November. This company is very eager to move forward with the commercialisation of the soluble fiber and protein enriched date pomace extract and we will therefore co-exhibit the product at the Gulfood tradeshow to be held between the 26th and 30th of January in Dubai, and attended by over 100,000 people. I am equally pleased with the Carbiotix team and how we have quickly moved forward with applying our latest process knowledge on the date pomace and accelerated the production of samples for the tradeshow.

This acceleration in the JCDA project will mean that a decision to move forward with the construction of a process to produce the date pomace extract will be made in Q1 of 2026, with both parties currently aligned on a general structure of the partnership. With our current model, Carbiotix would earn 0.50 USD per kg extract or over 15 MSEK in annual gross profits with the conversion of all the date pomace into over 3,000 tons of extract. To put this into perspective, with our current cost structure, this would allow the Company to reach a position of sustained profitability. However, our ambitions extend well beyond this level, and we have identified several million tons of potential extract volumes from additional side-streams within current customers and our leads pipeline. We aim to make these extracts available to cost-effectively improve the health profile of processed foods.

Our participation at the Food Ingredients Europe (FIE) tradeshow in Paris last week provided further confirmation that our value proposition for side-stream owners and leading Food & Beverage Consumer Packaged Goods (F&B CPG) companies is both innovative and very attractive. By allowing side-stream owners to earn up to 3 times more for their hemicellulose side-streams and F&B CPG companies to develop customised extracts and half their ingredient costs, allowing them to offer consumer products high in dietary fiber, protein, and antioxidants, there is a clear bottom line impact for all partners in the NutraCycle model. With close to 65 customer projects started over the past 20 months, covering over 75 different side-streams and close to 100 other companies we are in dialogue with, I am very confident that our project pipeline will grow and mature as we enter 2026 from our current LOI project, 3 recently confirmed JCDA projects, and 2 additional JCDA projects expected to start before year end.

With one week of trading remaining before the completion of our voluntary delisting, I look forward to entering a new phase in the development of Carbiotix and quickly moving towards being a profitable onsite upcycling company and the preferred partner for side-stream owners and F&B CPG companies from around the world. We are truly redefining the food value chain, allowing food & beverage companies to become ingredient producers and thus facilitating for a wide diversity of processed foods to become healthier, ultimately playing an instrumental role in filling the global fiber gap and realising the potential health benefits that may come as a result.

On behalf of the Board and management team, I would like to thank the partners who have supported Carbiotix over the past 6 years as a publicly traded company. Moreover, I would like to extend a special thanks to the shareholders of the Company who have supported us during this period and have decided to join us as a delisted company. I am very confident that the decision to delist the Company at this time was correct for the reasons previously explained and that there are many exciting developments in store for the Company as we enter 2026 and beyond. We will do our best to ensure that this next phase is both memorable and profitable for shareholders, customers, and partners and builds on the collective knowledge and experiences gained over the past 10 years as a private, publicly traded and soon a voluntarily delisted company.”
