# Tekna reports revenue rise of 19%

[Tekna, a leading advanced materials and plasma atomization systems provider](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/tekna/), has posted revenues of CAD 10.0 million ($7.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, a 19% year-over-year increase driven by stronger Materials sales. 

[The result marked the company's third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted earnings](https://www.voxelmatters.com/am-metal-powder-sales-propel-second-straight-ebitda-positive-quarter-for-tekna/) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), which reached CAD 0.2 million ($146,000), reflecting a margin of 2.0%.

“This quarter marks another important milestone for Tekna, with our third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA supported by high contribution margin and disciplined cost control,” stated [Claude Jean, Chief Executive Officer at Tekna](https://www.voxelmatters.com/tekna-appoints-claude-jean-as-new-ceo/).

“[Strong Materials growth](https://www.voxelmatters.com/tekna-passes-1-million-kilos-of-titanium-power-produced/) reflects disciplined commercial delivery and growing customer order size in our core aerospace and defense markets. Operationally, the team delivered steady improvements with yield and efficiencies gains strengthening unit economics and scalability.

“Order intake in Systems remains below our ambitions, but we are encouraged by a strong and active pipeline. Overall, these results reflect disciplined execution and continued progress toward profitable growth and value creation.”

## Defense, aerospace and medical demand

Two new medical customers were added during the quarter, and two existing tier-1 aerospace and defense customers confirmed a significant increase in monthly consumption. 

Materials order intake reached CAD 7.4 million ($5.4 million), down from a record CAD 12.6 million ($9.2 million) in Q1 2025, while Systems order intake rose to CAD 1.8 million ($1.3 million) from CAD 0.2 million ($146,000) in the prior-year period.

Total backlog stood at CAD 20.1 million ($14.7 million) at period end, a 6% year-over-year decline.

## Market trends support long-term outlook

Reshoring initiatives and localized manufacturing trends continued to support demand for Tekna's materials portfolio. The company stated that current market conditions and increasing customer order size support its long-term target of double-digit annual top-line growth through 2030.
