Synex International Inc. First Quarter of Fiscal 2022

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 15, 2021) - Synex International Inc. (TSX: SXI) (the "Company" or "Synex") is pleased to announce its financial and operational results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 ("Q1 2022").

Revenue for Q1 2022 decreased to $258,325 from $324,530 in Q1 2021. Electricity sales for Q1 2022 were $258,466 compared with $320,577 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 ("Q1 2021"), which is a decrease of $62,111. The decrease in revenue for Q1 2022 was mainly due to decrease in power sales with respect to the Mears, Cypress and Barr hydroelectric plants because of lower precipitation. SXI is still in line achieving the budgeted revenue for FY2022 since Q1 only represents 10-15% of the company's annual revenue.

The net loss attributable to shareholders of the Company for Q1 2022 was $650,179 as compared to the net loss attributable to shareholders of $407,939 for Q1 2021. The increase in net loss attributable to shareholders of the Company for Q1 2022 as compared to Q1 2021 is primarily due to lower power sales. The net loss per share in Q1 2022 was $0.02 as compared to a loss of $0.01 in Q1 2021. The company is on track to recover the losses of Q1 and be profitable for FY2022.

The capital expenditures in respect of the development of run-of-river hydro projects in British Columbia for Q1 2022 were $12,391 as compared to $8,997 for Q1 2021.
