EXPLANATORY NOTE

Electrovaya Inc. is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its Annual Report pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act on Form 40-F pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system (the “MJDS”) adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s common shares are listed in the United States on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the trading symbol “ELVA” and in Canada on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX” or the “Exchange”) under the trading symbol “ELVA”.

In this Annual Report, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Registrant,” the “Company,” or “Electrovaya,” mean Electrovaya Inc. unless the context suggests otherwise.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Exhibits filed with this Annual Report of the Registrant contain forward-looking statements, including statements that relate to, among other things, revenue, purchase orders, revenue guidance of more than 30% revenue growth (exceeding $83 million) over FY 2025 in FY 2026, order growth and customer demand in FY 2026, mass production schedules, , the Company’s ability to start production of cells at the Jamestown, New York facility by end of FY 2026, future business opportunities, use of proceeds, ability to deliver to customer requirements and revenue growth forecasts for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. Forward-looking statements can generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “likely”, "possible", “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “objective” and “continue” (or the negative thereof) and words and expressions of similar import. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of the experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate are necessarily applied in making forward looking statements and such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, therefore actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Material assumptions made in disclosing the forward-looking statements included in the news release include, but are not limited to assumptions that the Company’s customers will deploy its products in accordance with communicated timing and volumes, that the Company’s customers will complete new distribution centers in accordance with communicated expectations, intentions and plans, the sum of anticipated new orders in FY 2026 based on customers’ historical patterns and additional demand communicated to the Company and its partners but not yet provided as a purchase order with the Company’s current firm purchase order backlog totaling approximately $100-125 million, a discount of approximately 25% used in the revenue modeling applied to the overall expected order pipeline to account for potential delays in customer orders, expected decreases in input and material costs combined with stable selling prices in FY 2026, and a stable political climate with respect to exports from Canada to the United States, the start up time for manufacturing in Jamestown NY is estimated towards the end of FY 2026 or first quarter of FY 2027, the ability to leverage IRA45X credits, the ability to receive incentives from the state of New York, the ability to improve margins from domestic manufacturing, and the ability to attract additional customers through domestic manufacturing. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include but are not limited to customers not placing orders roughly in accordance with historical ordering patterns and communicated intentions resulting in annual revenue growth in FY 2026 of more than 30% over FY 2025 (exceeding $83 million), the predictability of sales and success of the Company’s products in verticals other than material handling, the imposition of a tariff regime on Canadian exports by the United States, macroeconomic effects on the Company and its business and on the lithium battery industry generally, the Company’s liquidity and cash availability in excess of its operational requirements, and the ability to generate and sustain sales orders. Additional information about material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations and about material factors or assumptions applied in making forward-looking statements may be found in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended September 30, 2025 under “Risk Factors”, in the Company’s base shelf prospectus dated September 17, 2024, and in the Company’s most recent annual and interim Management’s Discussion and Analysis under “Qualitative And Quantitative Disclosures about Risk and Uncertainties” as well as in other public disclosure documents filed with Canadian and American securities regulatory authorities. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the forward-looking statements contained in this document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

The revenue for the periods described herein constitute future-oriented financial information and financial outlooks (collectively, “FOFI”), and generally, is, without limitation, based on the assumptions and subject to the risks set out above under “Forward-Looking Statements”. Although management believes such assumptions to be reasonable, a number of such assumptions are beyond the Company’s control and there can be no assurance that the assumptions made in preparing the FOFI will prove accurate. FOFI is provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the Company’s future performance and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

The FOFI does not purport to present the Company’s financial condition in accordance with IFRS, and it is expected that there may be differences between audited results and preliminary results, and the differences may be material. The inclusion of the FOFI in this news release disclosure should not be regarded as an indication that the Company considers the FOFI to be a reliable prediction of future events, and the FOFI should not be relied upon as such.

Readers are cautioned that the above list of cautionary statements is not exhaustive.

No assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements in the Exhibits filed with this Annual Report should not be unduly relied upon. The Registrant’s forward-looking statements contained in the Exhibits filed with this Annual Report are made as of the respective dates set forth in such Exhibits. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations, and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. In preparing this Annual Report, the Registrant has not updated such forward-looking statements to reflect any change in circumstances or in management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions that may have occurred prior to the date hereof. Nor does the Registrant assume any obligation to update such forward-looking statements in the future as stated above. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

NOTICE TO UNITED STATES READERS - DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES

The Registrant is permitted, under the MJDS, to prepare this Annual Report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Registrant has historically prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and auditor independence standards. Financial statements prepared in IFRS may differ from financial statements prepared in United States GAAP (“U.S. GAAP”) and from practices prescribed by the SEC. Therefore, the Registrant’s financial statements filed with this Annual Report may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this Annual Report are in United States dollars.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Registrant’s registered public accounting firm. The Registrant qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and therefore is exempt from the requirement under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that a public company’s registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, no such attestation report is included in, or filed with, this Annual Report.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTICES PURSUANT TO REGULATION BTR

None.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Registrant has adopted a written “code of ethics” (as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC), entitled “Code of Conduct” (the “Code”) that applies to all members of the board of directors, officers, employees, representatives and other associates of the Company and its subsidiaries worldwide. Adherence to this code is a condition of employment with or providing services to the Company.

The Code may be obtained upon request from Electrovaya Inc.’s head office at 6688 Kitimat Rd, Mississauga, Ontario, L5N 1P8, Canada or by viewing the Registrant’s web site at https://electrovaya.com/financial-summary/.

All amendments to the Code, and all waivers of the Code with respect to any director, executive officer or principal financial and accounting officers, will be posted on the Registrant’s web site within five business days following the date of the amendment or waiver and any amendment will be provided in print to any shareholder upon request.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Our Board of Directors has established the Audit Committee in accordance with Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Rule 5605(c) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules for the purpose of overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our annual financial statements.

The Audit Committee is comprised of Dr. James K. Jacobs (Chair), Steven Berkenfeld, and Kartick Kumar. Our Board of Directors has determined that the Audit Committee satisfies the composition requirements of Rule 5605(c)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and that each member of the Audit Committee is independent within the meaning of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

All three members of the Audit Committee are financially literate, meaning they are able to read and understand the Registrant’s financial statements and to understand the breadth and level of complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Registrant’s financial statements.

Our Board of Directors has determined that Steven Berkenfeld qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” (as defined in paragraph (8)(b) of General Instruction B to Form 40-F).

The SEC has indicated that the designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not make such person an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liability on such person that are greater than those imposed on members of the audit committee and the board of directors who do not carry this designation or identification, or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The required disclosure is included under the heading “Audit Committee” in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report.

The Audit Committee Charter sets out responsibilities regarding the provision of non-audit services by the Registrant’s external auditors and requires the Audit Committee to pre-approve all permitted non-audit services to be provided by the Registrant’s external auditors, in accordance with applicable law.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
