Dr. Richard Lu, President and CEO of PowerBank commented:

"PowerBank's second quarter demonstrates the Company's continued execution across multiple strategic fronts. Fiscal year to date revenue and gross profit are up as we continue to improve financial performance. Beyond our financial performance, this quarter marked several transformational milestones for PowerBank, most notably our announced collaboration with Orbit AI, which has now successfully launched and operating. The satellite validates our vision that solar-powered infrastructure can extend beyond Earth's surface to power the next generation of computing. On the ground, our New York operations continue to demonstrate strong execution--the $41 million USD transaction with Solar Advocate Development, our 11th project with this strategic partner since 2018, reinforces the strength of PowerBank's development model, while securing safe harbor status for 15 projects representing $168 million USD in construction value further solidifies our near-term revenue pipeline. As we look ahead, PowerBank's strategy remains clear: grow our Independent Power Producer asset base for long-term recurring revenues while selectively monetizing development projects to fuel that growth. With over 1 GW in our development pipeline and strategic partnerships spanning from terrestrial infrastructure to orbital systems, PowerBank is well-positioned to capitalize on the accelerating demand for clean, reliable energy solutions."

The Company ended the second quarter of FY2026 with $35.7 million in current assets (including $20.8 million in cash, restricted cash and short-term investment), as compared to $41.3 million in current assets as of year-end June 30, 2025. The decrease is principally the result of a significant reduction in trade and other receivables and prepaid expenses and deposits, partially offset by higher cash and inventory.

Current liabilities decreased from $43.1 million as of the year ended June 30, 2025, to $31.3 million in the current quarter, mainly due to decreases in trade and other payables and the current portion of long-term debt.

For complete details please refer to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and associated Management Discussion and Analysis for the six months ended December 31, 2025, available on SEDAR+ .

The Company notes that the execution of the Company's growth strategy depends upon the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for the Company and its customers and the Company's future success depends partly on its ability to expand the pipeline of its energy business in several key markets. In addition, governments may revise, reduce or eliminate incentives and policy support schemes for solar and battery storage power, which could cause demand for the Company's services to decline. Further the forecasted MW capacity of a solar project may not be reached. Each EPC agreement with Solar Advocate includes a corresponding guarantee agreement entered into between Solar Advocate and the Company that provides that Solar Advocate shall have, if it is not satisfied with its due diligence, the absolute and unconditional right to sell, transfer, convey or assign the project back to the Company ("Sell-Back Right") without incurring any further liabilities by providing written notice to Company at any time within 60 days of December 19, 2025. If any EPC agreement with Solar Advocate is terminated, the Company will not achieve the transaction value and will required to return any funds that have been received associated with the terminated project. [At this time PowerBank elected not to make an investment in Orbit AI and the terms of any remuneration for services PowerBank may provide Orbit AI have not yet been determined.] Please refer to "Forward-Looking Statements" for additional discussion of the assumptions and risk factors associated with the statements in this press release.
