I see solid-oxide fuel cells deploy in roughly 90 days from manufacturing release per independent research – the fastest path – in modular megawatt‑scale units that can run as an islanded microgrid. Reciprocating engines and smaller aero‑derivative gas turbines take 12‑24 months, molten‑carbonate fuel cells offer carbon‑capture in 12.5‑MW blocks at about one‑twenty‑fifth the leader’s scale, and heavy utility‑scale gas turbines need 4‑7 years, so long they largely miss the window I exploit. The trade‑offs are real: the fastest costs more per megawatt, the cheapest take longer, none is the grid.

They stack speed against cost. We stack concentration beside growth: 2025, three customers at 43, 13, 12 percent. The 43 percent — a related party, most likely SK ecoplant. Oracle under 12 percent, emerging not the concentration. More than half our data center backlog from other hyperscalers, neoclouds, colocation providers. Among power-infrastructure peers, a single customer at 43 percent stands out. Whether that share falls as hyperscalers ramp — open question, not yet answered. The genius of and, not or.

Good morning, grid-bypass. You've laid out the trade-offs clearly. Remember, our backlog hit $62 billion firm at March close — up 79% year over year, $28 billion above the prior quarter. Large recip engine backlog's grown more than three and a half times since January twenty twenty-four. Customers locking in orders into twenty twenty-eight. Power and Energy estimated to carry a substantial share. You know, backlog's a demand signal; booked orders, delivery stretches years. Revenue lands over time. Based on what we see today, we're disciplined.

They frame the trade-off across technologies. Our foundation: first profitable year in roughly 38 years — revenue $106.0M, up 23.9% from $85.6M. Gross margin expanded 480 basis points to 32%, adjusted EBITDA roughly doubled to $15.9M. The reported $(3.21) diluted EPS is not an operating loss; it reflects a $69.6M non-cash deemed dividend from preferred accretion. Ex-accretion basic EPS was +$0.14.

Good morning. You know, you've laid out the trade-offs clearly. Remember, for the quarter ending March 2026 our Power Generation external sales were $2,817 million, up 41% year over year, end-user sales up 48% on large genset and turbine demand for data centers, mix shifting to prime power. That's roughly 16% of consolidated sales this quarter, 14% for the full year. Construction Industries at $7.2 billion and Resource Industries at $3.8 billion still dominate. Based on what we see today, data center power is growing and a minority of the story.

Our Exit Notes — $25.3M net, maturing December 7, 2026, floating rate, secured on substantially all assets — are classified current. The 10-K says there is 'no assurance' we repay or refinance at maturity. Cash of $28.9M barely covers the note; operating cash flow is negative. The bridge is a refinancing, an uplisting raise, or fresh capital — nothing signed at this time, no guarantees yet. We don't have a crystal ball. This cliff is the honest centerpiece.

You know, we see the same trade-offs. Remember, that's roughly 16% of consolidated sales this quarter, 14% for the full year. Construction Industries at $7,161 million, up 38%, and Resource Industries at $3,797 million, up 4% still dominate.

Good morning. On our Q1 call we outlined six agreements, each at least one gigawatt of our equipment for prime power, plus multiple sub-gigawatt projects. The latest, ProPower, is up to 2.1 gigawatts of large gas gensets delivered over roughly five years. Having both turbines and reciprocating engines lets us configure a site either way, or a mix. Hyperscaler names stay with the customer. Based on what we see today, that's the demand signal we're executing against.
