The Fort Worth Press - Worksport (NASDAQ:WKSP) Reports Q1 Revenue Up 48%, Gross Profit Up 116% (YOY)

WEST SENECA, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 13, 2026 / Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ:WKSP) ("Worksport" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based innovator and manufacturer of hybrid and clean energy solutions primarily for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods markets, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, with net sales increasing 47.9% year-over-year to $3.3 million and gross profit increasing 115.5% year-over-year to $854,000 as the Company advanced from product launch readiness into broader commercialization.

Q1 2026 was an investment and launch-readiness quarter for Worksport. During the period, the Company expanded product availability, funded inventory for recently launched products, strengthened sales channels, and prepared its newest product platforms for commercialization. Management believes these actions position Worksport for stronger sales conversion in Q2 2026 and the second half of the year.

Why Q1 Matters: From Buildout to Conversion

Q1 operating cash use was elevated as Worksport funded inventory, supported product launches, reduced prior-period obligations, and invested in marketing campaigns tied to SOLIS, COR, NEXUS, and the broader brand. Management views this as a working-capital investment intended to support product availability and sales-channel activation for the remainder of 2026. As of March 31, 2026, Worksport had $11.6 million in inventory, approximately $6.6 million in working capital.

Management's near-term priority is to convert inventory into revenue, improve channel-level gross margin, optimize marketing return on investment, and reduce operating cash consumption as launch-related spending normalizes.

2026 Outlook

The Company expects fiscal 2026 growth to be driven primarily by its tonneau cover business, expanded B2B and B2C sales channels, the newly launched NEXUS cover, and early contribution from SOLIS and COR. Worksport's recent distribution partnership with Tri-State is expected to be the first of more distributors joining Worksport's network as a result of Worksport's growing consumer awareness.

The Company also plans to provide annual financial guidance early each calendar year rather than updating guidance quarterly, allowing management to focus on long-term execution, durable revenue growth, cash-flow discipline, and shareholder value creation.

Terravis Energy and AetherLux Update

Worksport's clean energy subsidiary, Terravis Energy, continued advancing its AetherLux^™ ZeroFrost heat pump platform during Q1 2026. Management has stated that a large government entity is monitoring upcoming laboratory performance results as part of an internal evaluation process, while certification work is progressing with AHRI, ENERGY STAR, and other North American certification milestones targeted within 2026.

The Company is not currently projecting AetherLux revenue in 2026. Management views AetherLux as a strategic upside platform separate from the core 2026 revenue drivers, which are expected to come from tonneau covers and early SOLIS/COR commercialization.
