Loop Industries, Inc. reported unaudited consolidated earnings results for the third quarter and nine months ended November 30, 2017. For the quarter, the company reported a net loss of $6.7 million for the three months ended November 30, 2017, an increase in net loss of $6.0 million compared to a net loss of $0.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net loss is primarily explained by non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $4.4 million of which $3.2 million relates to the immediate vesting of equity grants during the quarter which management doesn’t expect to repeat in the future. Basic and Diluted loss per share was $0.2 per share against $0.02 a year ago.
For the nine months, the company reported net loss was $10,402,707 or $0.32 per basic and diluted share against $2,539,123 or $0.08 basic and diluted a year ago.
