Infinite Loop™ India Update

Offtake discussions progressing: Negotiations with apparel and CPG brands to secure off-take agreements for the Infinite Loop™ India facility continue to advance. We believe that the low-cost structure of the facility allows us to offer competitive pricing to our customers for a superior product, while achieving our objectives for profitability and return on investment and generating cash flow to fund future capacity expansion.

Site selection nearing completion: We have narrowed site options to two locations in the Gujarat province of India. Final selection is anticipated in the second fiscal quarter.

Engineering services agreement signed: In June 2025, Loop executed a $1.5 million engineering services agreement with ELITe, our India JV with Ester Industries Ltd., through which Loop will support the detailed engineering phase for the Infinite Loop™ India facility and its targeted construction start by the end of calendar 2025. We anticipate entering into additional engineering services agreements for India, as well as for Europe and other projects as we advance the development of future Infinite Loop™ facilities.

Capital expenditures estimate on track: As previously announced, TATA Consulting Engineers completed the front-end engineering design (FEED) study. ELITe has decided to integrate a continuous polymerization line into the Infinite Loop™ India facility, to further enhance its operational efficiency. Based on the study, the total estimated investment for the facility, including the addition of the continuous polymerization line, as well as construction financing, land acquisition, engineering expenses, and initial working capital, is $176 million.

KPMG has been retained by ELITe to manage the debt syndication process for the Infinite Loop™ facility in India.
