TORONTO, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Carbon Streaming Corporation (Cboe CA: NETZ) (OTCQB: OFSTF) (FSE: M2Q) (“Carbon Streaming” or the “Company“) today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. All figures are expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Carbon Streaming Chief Executive Officer Marin Katusa stated: “In the second quarter of 2025, Carbon Streaming continued to make significant progress in improving financial sustainability, achieving its best quarterly operating cash flow and lowest quarterly operating expenses since the Company began operations, while continuing to evaluate strategic alternatives. Ongoing operating expenses have decreased substantially compared to prior years, and by the second quarter of 2025, the number of individuals at the Company receiving a full-time salary was reduced to three. Our priority in 2025 is to continue maximizing value from our existing portfolio while exploring all strategic options to enhance shareholder value, including acquisitions, divestments, corporate transactions, and strategic partnerships. To that end, in July 2025, we reached settlements related to the Rimba Raya Stream and the Magdalena Bay Blue Carbon Stream, delivering cash proceeds, the cancellation of previously issued shares, and the retention of certain future rights — resolving two significant assets in our portfolio. We also progressed the removal of the U.S. legend from the securities issued in our 2021 financings, opening the door to broader trading access for U.S. investors. Although the voluntary carbon market continues to face challenging conditions, we remain committed to adapting to market realities and identifying the best path forward for our shareholders. In line with this commitment to shareholders, we have recently filed a statement of claim against certain former executives, board members, consultants, and associated entities in order to hold the defendants to account for actions that have caused financial harm to the Company, as outlined in the lawsuit. And with respect to the Sustainable Community Stream and the Amazon Portfolio Royalty, the Company remains focused on protecting our investments and preserving our rights — as we will with all our investments.”
