Tecogen Inc. (AMEX:TGEN) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript May 13, 2026

Tecogen Inc. beats earnings expectations. Reported EPS is $-0.07, expectations were $-0.1.

Operator: Greetings, and welcome to the Tecogen Q1 2026 Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Jack Whiting, General Counsel and Secretary. Thank you. You may begin.

John Whiting: Good morning. This is Jack Whiting, General Counsel and Secretary of Tecogen. This call is being recorded and will be archived on our website at tecogen.com. The press release regarding our first quarter 2026 earnings and the presentation provided this morning are available in the Investors section of our website. I direct your attention to our Safe Harbor statement included in our earnings press release and presentation. Various remarks that we may make about the company’s expectations, plans and prospects constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the Safe Harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in the company’s most recent annual and quarterly reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q under the caption Risk Factors filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and also available in the Investors section of our website under the heading SEC Filings.

While we may elect to update forward-looking statements, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, so you should not rely on any forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any future date. During this call, we will refer to certain financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the press release regarding our Q1 2026 earnings and on our website. I’ll now turn the call over to Abinand Rangesh, Tecogen’s CEO, who will provide an overview of Tecogen’s first quarter activity and results; and Roger Deschenes, Tecogen’s CFO, who will provide additional information regarding Q1 financial results.

Abinand?

Abinand Rangesh: Thank you, Jack. Welcome to Tecogen’s Q1 2026 call. On today’s call, I will update shareholders on the imminent PO from Vertiv, the recent surge in demand for our chillers from non-data center customers and the upcoming demonstrations we’re hosting for some well-known data centers. First, I would like to comment on the financials. Towards the third and fourth quarter of last year, our gross profit margin had dipped below our target of 40%. A lower gross profit margin, of course, means a higher breakeven point for profitability. Therefore, I am pleased to see that our gross profit for Q1 2026 is now greater than 40%. Although operating expenses are higher in Q1 2026, this is because of essential investments in R&D and marketing to succeed in the Data Center market.

There is also additional manufacturing headcount that is presently shown in the operating expense. As product volume increases, this cost will transition into direct production costs. We have also made cost reductions in some of the service-territories to increase margins. We expect to see the full impact of these cost-reductions to likely hit in Q3 of this year. Importantly, as several upcoming projects close, we expect to receive substantial customer deposits, which should strengthen our cash position. Before I update shareholders on projects, I’d like to address a question I have received multiple times. Many companies claim that they can provide power to data centers quickly. If that is the case, why should a data center choose Tecogen’s chillers?

Recently, I was speaking to a senior executive at one of the largest data center companies. I asked them where he saw a market fit for our chillers given the alternatives for securing power. He called our chiller a game-changer for 2 reasons. First, he explained that electric utilities are now desperate for data centers to cut load from the grid during peak time. If a data center can do this, in many cases, they can jump the queue for grid power. Recent research funded by Google showed that a 500-megawatt data center — if a 500-megawatt data center commits to removing load from the utility for as little as 70 hours of the year, they could cut 3 to 5 years in grid connection wait time. I’m including the link to the research here. This problem affects both new and existing data centers.

Many existing data centers are being asked by tenants to expand capacity, and they don’t have any further power available. In most parts of the country, the peak time for the electrical grid is summertime, precisely when cooling loads are the highest. A data center could add more power or use our chiller solution instead. The second reason is uninterrupted cooling in a blackout. As you would expect, data centers invest massive amounts of capital on complete redundancy, backup generators, thermal storage, redundant cooling systems, and other infrastructure to prevent downtime. To fully appreciate the benefit our chiller offers, I encourage investors to watch the video of our chiller handling a power outage. I’ve included the link on this slide.

In this video, you’ll see our chiller operating at full load. Half the power is coming from the electric grid and the rest from the natural gas engine. Then we cut the electric power. The natural gas engine instantly takes the full load. No change in cooling output, no interruption. A conventional electric chiller would have shut down. Diesel generators would have to start, then the electric chillers would have to restart and come to full load. A power outage represents a significant risk to a data center. With our chiller, there’s an extra layer of redundancy built right into the chiller. As you can see, the use cases go far beyond just access to more power. During the last call, I mentioned the demonstration project with Vertiv. This has now expanded substantially.

I’m pleased to announce that Vertiv has approved purchasing 1 megawatt of Cooling and the PO is in process and expected imminently. Now, after going to the environmental chamber, Vertiv has found a permanent home for the chillers at one of their facilities. This facility has a shortage of power, and our chillers solve the power constraint. The chillers will be connected to other ancillary equipment of this facility, so it can be showcased as a complete system to prospective customers. This imminent PO from Vertiv is significant because it not only shows a financial commitment, but the willingness to find ways to showcase our chillers. Design, marketing activities, and negotiations of the Master Partnership Agreement are in process concurrently and are not affected by timing of this chiller installation.

Over the upcoming months, we are also hosting some well-known prospective data center customers at our headquarters for in-depth product demonstration. Some of these are in addition to the opportunity pipeline I’ve already disclosed last quarter. As we have better — become better known in the Data Center industry, many more larger Data Centers are now interested in using our technology. In my experience, when senior managers and executives take time out of their busy schedules for in-person site visits, the probability of converting discussions into purchase orders increases substantially. In the last 2 months, we have seen a surge in projects for non-data center customers. Many of these projects have been slow-moving until now, but as the reality of power constraints started to sink in, customers began accelerating approvals.

We have seen more than $8 million in projects approved by customers. We’ve already received the purchase orders for $2.3 million of this $8 million in hand and expect to receive the remaining POs and deposits within the next 30 to 45 days. We ended the quarter with approximately $9.3 million in cash and presently have approximately $8.5 million. As these deposits are received, we expect our cash position to improve. I’ll hand over to Roger to discuss the financials.

Roger Deschenes: Thank you, Abinand, and good morning, everybody. I’ll begin by reviewing the first quarter results. Total revenues for the quarter decreased by $900,000 or 12.9% in the first quarter to $6.4 million, which compares to $7.3 million in the preceding year quarter. This is due to a reduction in our Products revenue. Our gross profit decreased just under 20% to $2.6 million in the first quarter, compared to $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. This is due to lower Products Revenue and also to an increase in our Services and Energy Production cost. Our gross margin decreased 3.4% to 40.9% in the first quarter of 2026 from 44.3% in 2025, and this is due to increased Services and Energy Production costs. Operating expenses increased just under 24% in the first quarter operating costs in our Services segment and an increased cost in our Production Segment, research and development and a general increase in operating costs incurred for the manufacturing expansion we are undertaking to realign the factory to increase capacity and efficiency and to further fund the continued development and refinement of our dual-source chiller.

Both efforts focused on our entry into the data center market. As Abinand suggested, we have recently taken steps to reduce our services OpEx and our overall OpEx, and we expect costs to decrease beginning in the second quarter and to further be reduced beginning in the third quarter of this year. Our net loss for the quarter increased to $2.2 million from $700,000 in 2025, and this is due to lower product sales and an overall reduction in gross margin and an increase in operating expenses. Moving over to the Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter. The Adjusted EBITDA loss for the first quarter was $1.7 million, which is higher when compared to the comparable loss in 2025 of about $400,000. And this is due to lower sales and the lower gross margin and the increase in operating costs.

Moving over to performance by segment. Products revenues decreased 54% to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 from $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 as we continue to experience a delay in a couple of projects, which, as Abinand suggested, we are expecting now to see these close in the next few months. The first quarter 2025 products revenue benefited from the shipment of cogeneration systems that were — that shipped during the quarter to customers seeking to take advantage of the tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. As we have discussed in the past, product revenue has significant variability quarter-to-quarter. The products gross margin increased 3.6% to 44.9% in the first quarter of 2026 from 41.3% in the quarter of 2025.

This is due to increases in the allocation of — sorry, this is due to price increases and the allocation of manufacturing labor to the realignment of the factory floor, again, with the intent to increase capacity and efficiency. Our Services revenue increased 9% quarter-over-quarter in 2026 to $4.6 million compared to $4.2 million in Q1 2025. This is due to higher billable activity and higher operating hours of the equipment from our existing service contracts. The services gross margin decreased 5% to 41.8% in the first quarter of 2026 from 46.8% in the comparable quarter in 2025, and this is due to increased labor and material costs, specifically in the Greater New York City area. While our Service margin continues to underperform, recent cost-reduction initiatives should improve profitability going forward.

Our energy production revenue increased 5% in the first quarter to $520,000 compared to approximately $500,000 in the first quarter of 2025. This is due to increased uptime in certain energy production sites. The Energy Production gross margins decreased to 23.9% in 2026 from 37.9% in 2025, and this is due to the higher natural gas costs we’ve incurred during the period. I’ll now turn the call back over to Abinand for closing remarks.

Abinand Rangesh: Thank you, Roger. I’ll leave you with the following concluding thoughts. Why would Vertiv choose to buy chillers when they could easily ask us to provide demonstration units for a performance test? And why now? Why would senior personnel from well-known data centers fly in to see product demonstrations if existing solutions are sufficient? I’ve already shown you our opportunity pipeline is in the hundreds of chillers. This continues to progress forward. As we have just seen with the non-data-center pipeline, slow-moving projects can rapidly get approved when alternatives get scarce. Management and Directors of Tecogen bought shares after we reported last quarter. We’ve seen some high-profile data centers have outages due to failures in their cooling and redundancy systems in recent times.

I’d encourage you to watch the video of our chiller providing uninterrupted cooling when the power goes out and you decide if we have something game-changing or not. I’ll now open the floor for questions.

Q&A Session

Operator: [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Eric Stine with Craig-Hallum.

Eric Stine: So I mean, I know the video that you’re asking people to watch, I saw that in person and would concur, quite impressive. I’m just curious, I know you’re hosting a number of people to witness this. I mean, do you feel like people appreciate what your hybrid system can do now? Or do you believe that, that in-person viewing is what is needed for the market to really understand the ability to seamlessly make this transition from the grid to the natural gas engine?

Abinand Rangesh: So that’s a great question. So some of the people that we’re hosting right now are, as I’ve mentioned briefly, are new bigger-name data centers that we have spoken to a few times, but we believe that they could be a massive advantage to the company if we can land some of those. But they have seen the video. And as soon as they saw the video, they wanted to see the real chiller. What they’re really — what we’re going to be demonstrating in person is the performance of the chiller, showing them it running on both grid, basically capping the amount of power that the chiller can draw from the grid and then pulling the rest from the natural gas engine, showing them the uninterrupted cooling. And generally, we found in the past that when we have taken potential customers on-site tours and so on, one just the commitment of them undertaking that shows a level of seriousness on both sides.

And number two, you get uninterrupted time with those customers so you can progress discussions to the point where you might be able to get the purchase orders much faster doing that. So it’s a combination of factors. When you get somebody in one room for a significant amount of time plus a demonstration, we’ve always found that goes well in terms of securing orders.

Eric Stine: Yes. Okay. Maybe just on the Vertiv Project. So imminent, I mean, I guess that starts the process. But do you have any thoughts — maybe it’s too early, but any thoughts about — well, I guess it’s a permanent deployment, right? So it’s not necessarily something where it’s set to run for a period of time. I mean it’s permanent. I mean, am I thinking about that right? Or are there any things we should think about in terms of timing, next milestones, et cetera?

Abinand Rangesh: So as I mentioned, the continuing marketing and Vertiv actually generating projects and so on, that’s happening concurrently. This essentially is a purchase order for a permanent installation. It has been approved by Vertiv management. It is just — it’s — we’re waiting on the physical paperwork to be provided in hand. I was so liked by Vertiv that I can mention that they’ve essentially approved the project. So it is going to one of their facilities, and it’s going to be installed permanently there. There are other pieces of equipment that you would find in a data center in this building. And the chiller is essentially there, so they can show it to potential customers as well as use it for their own purposes within the building, where it’s actually providing cooling for various systems in the building.

Eric Stine: Got it. Okay. And so this is permanent — Yes. No, this is permanent, but also can be used for demos as well, obviously, because it does apply to. Okay. Well, maybe last one for me, then I’ll turn it over. I mean I get this question quite a bit. I know it’s always hardest to get that first order in a new application. I mean, in your mind, you’ve just shared a lot of things that are happening on that side. In your mind, is there something that makes the dam break in terms of orders? I mean — or is it more just blocking and tackling, getting through showing the product, demonstrating the product and then that’s what opens things up.

Abinand Rangesh: So right now, as I mentioned in the last quarter, right, we have this list of opportunities that are there, and I kind of ranked them based on, at the time, what I felt my — which had the highest probability. Those things — those projects are still moving along. Right now, it is just a matter of — at this stage, usually, it’s just the customer trying to guess their pieces lined up. I still continue to have pretty high confidence on at least a few of those projects coming through. I just don’t want to comment on timing and so on because that’s always difficult to predict. At this point, it’s still — many of those projects need to be operational early part of next year. So typically, we start seeing purchase orders 6 months, 9 months ahead of that.

But sometimes there are delays on customer sites and then they suddenly move very quickly. So there’s nothing in that batch of projects that I find — like there’s no big red flags or anything like that. In addition to that, what we’re starting to see right now is many of the bigger names are finding that there are reasons, as I mentioned, in terms of freeing up utility power or maybe doing a couple of swaps in existing data centers, where they’re starting to look at, okay, how do we do pilot projects with this pickup and maybe even larger potential installations. So that is what we’re hosting right now here in addition to — we’re likely to see more hosting happening as Vertiv starts to ramp up their design side, their pipeline as well. So it’s not either/or, it’s both happening.

Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Bobby Brooks with Northland.

Unknown Analyst: This is [ Keaton Czoche ] on for Bobby. Could you provide some additional color around the $8 million pipeline of approved orders, including maybe verticals that those opportunities are tied to, the size of the project and maybe the timing on when you expect to see revenue?

Abinand Rangesh: Yes. So great question, Keaton. So the — as I mentioned back $2.3 million of that, we already have purchase orders in hand. And then the remaining, they fall under the category where the customer has approved it. Right now, we’re just, again, waiting on the physical paperwork. In many of these cases, it’s just a matter of getting set up on their vendor systems and so on, so we can collect the deposits. Many a large chunk of that is actually in the health care sector, like hospitals and so on. And there’s some commercial buildings in there that — many of these are summertime cooling load. So they typically are going to want equipment either late fall or the wintertime. We can usually ship equipment whenever we have them ready.

At this point, it’s likely that a lot of that equipment will ship towards the end of the year, primarily because we’re trying to keep some capacity on hand for some of these — especially some of the smaller potential data center projects because we believe that from a shareholder standpoint, we have to prioritize that. We will plan some of these bigger, like the non-data-center projects on, but because they are wintertime, like late fall wintertime type delivery requirements, it’s likely that some of that will go towards the end of the year. And then the near-term, we’re going to keep some capacity available so that we can land and have aggressive delivery time scales for these potential data-center projects.

Unknown Analyst: Great. And then maybe could you expand a bit more on your current data center opportunity pipeline? I know you referenced your 1Q from last quarter, you’re putting out the pipeline, but maybe how that has transitioned? And then maybe more specifically about how many customers you plan to host and what the mix is on those customers from new versus what was already disclosed last quarter?

Abinand Rangesh: So in terms of the customers that we’re hosting, — it’s — I’d say there’s a few of the ones that are in that opportunity pipeline. I’d say 2 or so from that opportunity pipeline. And then we’re expecting at least another 3 new bigger name data centers coming to our factory. We’re still trying to lock down exact dates and so on, but we have — that’s the range that we’re looking at right now.

Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Chip Moore with ROTH MKM.

Alfred Moore: Maybe just a follow-up there on the customers coming to do a site visit. Just you alluded to this, Abinand, but can you give us maybe a sense of scale of particularly these new potential customers? I mean, should we be thinking about hyperscaler or Neo-cloud type of clients or any help there?

Abinand Rangesh: Yes. I mean they’re well — a couple of them are well established. People will know who they are. I can’t comment on anything further than that at this point. And again, since some of these schedules are still up in the air until people confirm exactly who’s coming because we are trying to get as many of the senior level people as possible and being as flexible as possible there. So they’re definitely a significant size that we’re hosting. And they’re not — we may get a couple of the Neo-clouds, but there are definitely some established developers as well as part of the group.

Alfred Moore: Understood. Understood. And maybe for my follow-up, you talked about this a little bit, but capacity-wise, they’re obviously going to see your capacity when they come to visit. You talked about keeping some capacity on hand, but some non-data center business picking up. Just maybe update us on behind the scenes, how you’re thinking about capacity and that chicken and egg problem if some of those larger orders come through.

Abinand Rangesh: They’ve been — at least from our discussions, they’ve been pretty open to finding potential ways to pilot it, but also looking further ahead. With many of these data centers, we’ve been pretty open in terms of, look, this is our capacity. This is how we plan to address it, and this is the ramp-up time required to do it. And what — the way we — as I mentioned before, is we’ve got our contract manufacturers already qualified, and we treat it as such that the current location that we have is really the final integration of components coming from the contract manufacturers, so we can increase our capacity out of here. So it is something that we address openly with them. And the goal really is to figure out a way to scale with them.

So if they can provide us a ramp-up, then we can put the resources and the ramp-up on our side to be able to actually address those larger opportunities. It’s less — because we have something quite unique, it’s less a matter of how you see it in some of the traditional electric chiller sales where a data center would have a design for a certain-sized chiller and just say, you have to read different companies bid on it. In our case, both the delays associated with projects because they design it in also acts as an advantage in these kind of cases because you can build in a ramp-up as part of that overall package.

Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Alexander Blanton with Clear Harbor Asset Management.

Alexander Blanton: Installation that you described in your press release, in your earnings release and I talked about here. The one the imminent contract was Vertiv?

Abinand Rangesh: No. That one is after we demonstrate our — to the various visitors, these — like this is actually going to one of Vertiv’s facilities. So at this point, I can’t tell you exactly where in the country it’s going, but it’s actually going to go to one of Vertiv’s locations, and it’s going to be installed there permanently.

Alexander Blanton: So that’s going to be a demonstration project also?

Abinand Rangesh: Correct.

Alexander Blanton: So you’re going to have one at your plant and one at a…

Abinand Rangesh: Correct.

Alexander Blanton: Okay. Because I was going to ask who’s going to own the one in your plant? That would be you. And how — what is the timing on that? When will that — when is your first demonstration going to be scheduled?

Abinand Rangesh: Over the next — so what we’ve told most of these visitors is starting mid — well, actually starting next week onwards to about mid-June is when we’re hosting them. If there are some bigger names that want a finite length of time so that we can provide internal resources, such as our engineering staff and our sales team, focused on basically providing that demonstration. The plan is still at this point for the units that are going to Vertiv to ship before the end of Q2. And then when they install it kind of depends on their installation time line. But the original expectation was that it would happen pretty quickly once the units ship.

Alexander Blanton: Okay. So that would mean that perhaps sometime in the third quarter, they would be set up with a similar demonstration to show whoever they want to show it to?

Abinand Rangesh: Correct.

Alexander Blanton: In the third quarter. Okay. Have you disclosed the value of that contract with Vertiv?

Abinand Rangesh: I have not. It is within the overall $8 million.

Alexander Blanton: I’m sorry, what did you just say?

Abinand Rangesh: No, we have not disclosed it as a separate item in there, again, partially because we’ve tried not to provide specific unit pricing. So it is within that $8 million that I mentioned in terms of approved projects, but I have not disclosed it as a separate item.

Alexander Blanton: Okay. So the imminent order from Vertiv that you mentioned in the press release, is one of the $8 million.

Abinand Rangesh: Correct.

Alexander Blanton: Is that correct?

Abinand Rangesh: Yes, correct.

Alexander Blanton: Okay. Even though the $8 million was supposed to be non-data center projects.

Abinand Rangesh: Yes. Yes. Sorry, you’re totally correct there, Alex. It is — so let me clarify that a little bit because we have — we actually have at least $8 million of non-data-center projects, and then we have the Vertiv on top. But because we only have $2.3 million in hand, we’re likely to see if everything in this package of non-data center projects closes, we’re likely to actually see at least $8 million of non-data-center plus the Vertiv on top of that.

Alexander Blanton: Okay. Got it. All right. Just like to talk about the supply chain for a minute and your contractors. What is the delivery time that they have promised you? And what are the specific things that they’re going to supply?

Abinand Rangesh: So in terms of the dual-power source chiller, the contract manufacturer that we have qualified is providing the sheet metal assemblies and the — essentially that shell that goes for the air-cooled chiller. This is something that adds a lot of — I mean, we can do it in-house, but it requires us to have significantly more labor force on hand to be able to do that, and it slows down the production on our floor. The other piece that we’re having in terms of a subassembly is also the electronic — some of the inverter components that are pre-assembled into a cabinet. So when it comes to our facility, we have essentially a shell, the electronic cabinet, and then we add in the engine-generator, connect all of those pieces together, testing, and shipping.

Alexander Blanton: Okay. And what is the delivery time they promised? In other words, if you get an order from a data center and you need these things that you mentioned, how soon can they deliver those? What have they promised you?

Abinand Rangesh: So I don’t want to — I can give you some high-level specifics on what they currently already do. So the reason we chose some of these manufacturers is they’re already building similar scale type of products for overflow capacity for other chiller manufacturers. They build hundreds of units a year. So at this point, what I had disclosed, I think, to shareholders was that, we could build — with all the vendors spun up, we could build up to 100 chillers a year. out of this particular facility. If our order capacity or if our order book starts to exceed that, then there are other alternatives that we are looking at, including, as I mentioned last time, providing just a power assembly for the air-cooled chiller integrating with some of Vertiv’s own chiller capacity.

So there are multiple ways to scale up after that point. I think at this juncture, right, my focus is on getting those first few projects and then figuring out, okay, how do we get — if we start getting a backlog that exceeds 100 chillers, then we use some of these other methods to basically scale up.

Alexander Blanton: That was not an answer to my question, but that’s a good thing to know that you have alternatives to go beyond that 100-unit capacity. But my question was, suppose that you want to order components for a data center to fill their order, can your contractor supply that quickly? How — what are their delivery times? What are their backlogs?

Abinand Rangesh: So some of that varies with time, right? And that is something that at this point, we’re not in a position to be able to disclose. And that’s — I typically tell data centers that we need a 3- to 6-month ramp rate to be able to hit the full 100 per month — I’m sorry, like to hit the run rate of 100 per year. So that’s typically what we’re targeting. That seems to be well within acceptable numbers from what we’ve been told. But again, there’s a lot of moving pieces here. And we can’t — both sides, we have to have those orders in place before we can get bigger commitments than that. So I cannot disclose anything further than that at this point, Alex.

Alexander Blanton: Yes. I was just wondering whether you could order something and get it in a week or a month, or 6 months or…

Abinand Rangesh: So it very much depends on volume, right? We try to keep some inventory on hand at all times to be able to handle the 1s, 2s, 3s in terms of chillers. As you start to get to 10, 15, 20 units, then you need to start building in additional planning with regards to that. And that’s very much a matter of balancing cash orders and all the other commitments in the — to make sure that we can succeed in this space.

Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Bill Church with TGRA Capital.

Bill Church: The residents of Denver in the last few weeks have received notices that they must reduce their water usage just as consumers below their winter intake and which is obviously causing some annoyance. Would your chillers be useful for corporations and utilities and so forth that are using a lot of water from an industrial standpoint, which are then penalizing the consumers who are all very upset.

Abinand Rangesh: So the chiller — the dual-power-source chiller, is what’s called an air-cooled chiller. So you have a closed water loop inside the building. One of the reasons actually data centers preferred that in comparison to our DTX chiller, which was what you find in a lot of hospitals and other types of environments is it doesn’t require a what they call a cooling tower, which usually sits outside the building and it’s used to provide like the heat rejection has an open loop in terms of water. So there’s water consumption in the building. Many data centers, in particular, were early on, we’re using much of this type — significant amounts of water, whereas they move towards this kind of air-cooled solution. So if there’s a cooling need in any location and they are trying to reduce their water usage, definitely something like our dual-power-source chiller would reduce overall water consumption since it’s got a closed-loop.

Bill Church: Okay. So you’d have products that would be useful for companies or anywhere where there’s a drought issue and where there’s both a PR going to the consumers and then you’ve got the industrial companies using water.

Abinand Rangesh: Correct. It really depends on how they’re integrating and what the equipment they have on site. But one of the reasons that we developed a larger version of our air-cooled chiller was that we were getting questions from potential customers on how do they avoid having to use any kind of open-loop water systems that would have constant consumption of water. So that’s why this product was designed.

Operator: And we have reached the end of the question-and-answer session. I’d like to turn the floor back over to Abinand Rangesh for closing remarks.

Abinand Rangesh: Thank you very much for attending the first quarter 2026 call. I will provide shareholders an update once all these projects have closed, as well as once the product demonstrations are complete. I look forward to updating shareholders, and thank you for your time.

Operator: Thank you. And this concludes today’s conference, and you may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
