Key Points
Net sales reached a record $7.2 million in the third quarter.
NEXUS tonneau cover sales reached $4.8 million, representing two-thirds of revenue.
Inventory declined 21% to $9.6 million, releasing working capital.
On its third quarter of 2026 earnings call, held on Nov. 10, 2026, Worksport (NASDAQ:WKSP) reported record quarterly net sales of $7.2 million. Higher sales and lower operating expenses narrowed the net loss to $3.6 million as manufacturing efficiency improved. Three takeaways from management highlight the path forward.
1. Premium NEXUS Covers Become the Primary Revenue Driver
Sales of NEXUS, the company's premium hard-folding truck-bed cover, surged as production expanded at the West Seneca factory. Shared manufacturing components with entry-level models allowed the product line to expand without proportional cost increases.
In Q3, NEXUS sales reached approximately $4.8 million, up 150% from the quarter before and represented roughly two-thirds of quarterly net sales.

2. Inventory Conversion Releases Working Capital to Fund Growth
Management transitioned production toward a just-in-time model, which aligns component purchasing directly with customer reorders to reduce excess stockpiles. Releasing capital locked in inventory helped reduce operating cash burn to $0.4 million during the period.
Inventory declined to $9.6 million from approximately $12.1 million in June, a reduction of about 21%, while quarterly sales grew 38%.
-- Jennifer Kartychak, Chief Financial Officer
3. Management Prioritizes Financial Self-Sufficiency Over Outside Capital
With major factory investments completed and credit lines extended through July 2028, the company is focusing on closing its cash flow gap. Scaling volume across existing factory equipment allows revenue to increase without requiring major new capital outlays.
Our goal was to make outside financing a choice rather than a necessity.
-- Steven Rossi, Chief Executive Officer
Looking Ahead
Factory output is accelerating across domestic assembly lines, and operational efficiency is beginning to show in the underlying cash numbers. Completed facility investments and a flexible domestic supply chain provide structural cost advantages, while management targets inventory turns and pricing discipline.
The cover business is generating more sales and more gross profits and inventory conversion is releasing capital that we already had committed.
-- Steven Rossi, Chief Executive Officer
Sustaining this trajectory requires converting higher product volumes into self-funded growth across direct and wholesale channels.
Our objective is sustained operating cash flow positivity.
