Network 1 Reports 2025 Year End Financial Results

NEW CANAAN, CT / ACCESS Newswire / March 13, 2026 / Network‑1 Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American:NTIP) (“Network‑1”), a company specializing in the acquisition, development, licensing and monetization of its intellectual property assets, today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Network‑1 had revenue of $150,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to revenue of $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Revenue in both 2025 and 2024 was from settlement agreements in litigations involving Network‑1’s Remote Power Patent. Network‑1’s operating expenses decreased by $265,000 in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to decreased professional fees and general and administrative expenses.

Interest and dividend income for 2025 was $1,844,000 as compared to $1,897,000 for 2024. In addition, in 2025 Network‑1 recorded realized and unrealized gains on marketable securities of $277,000 as compared to $177,000 in 2024.

Network‑1 reported a net loss of $2,420,000 or $0.11 per share, basic and diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $3,034,000 or $0.13 per share, basic and diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Included in net loss is Network‑1’s share of the net loss of its equity method investee, ILiAD Biotechnologies, of $1,603,000 and $1,912,000 for the years ended 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In June 2025, Network-1 commenced patent litigation against Samsung Electronics Co., LTD and Samsung Electronics America, Inc.(collectively, “Samsung”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas for infringement of certain patents in its M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio. The lawsuit alleges that Samsung infringes the asserted patents by supporting certain eSIM (embedded Subscriber Identification Module) and 5G technologies in its mobile devices, including its Galaxy smartphones, watches and tablets. A trial date has been scheduled for June 2027.

In September 2025, Network-1 commenced patent litigation on behalf of HFT Solutions, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Network-1, against Optiver US LLC and Optiver Trading US LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, for infringement of certain patents in our HFT Patent Portfolio. A trial date has been scheduled for June 2027. The patents being asserted in this case are the same patents being asserted in our patent infringement cases against Citadel Securities, LLC and Jump Trading, LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois brought in December 2024.

On February 5, 2026, ILiAD Biotechnologies, Inc. completed a $115,000,000 preferred stock financing. The financing was led by RA Capital Management with participation from new investors Janus Henderson Investors and BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts, as well as existing investors including a multi-national pharmaceutical company and AI Life Sciences.Following the closing of the financing, Network-1 owned approximately3.1% of the outstanding shares on a non-fully diluted basis and approximately 2.5% of the outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis. As a result of the closing of the financing and the conversion to a corporation, Network-1 will no longer account for its investment in ILiAD using the equity method of accounting and will use the fair value method of accounting.

At December 31, 2025, Network‑1’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $36,869,000 and working capital of $36,336,000. Management believes that based on Network‑1’s current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities positions, Network‑1 will have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.

Network‑1’s dividend policy consists of semi‑annual cash dividends of $0.05 per share ($0.10 per share annually) which have been paid in March and September of each year. In 2025, Network‑1 continued to declare and pay dividends consistent with its dividend policy. Network‑1’s dividend policy undergoes a periodic review by its Board of Directors and is subject to change at any time depending upon Network‑1’s earnings, financial requirements and other factors existing at the time.

In June 2025, the Board of Directors of Network-1 authorized an extension and increase of its share repurchase program (“Share Repurchase Program”) to repurchase up to $5,000,000 of shares of its common stock over the subsequent 24 month period. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Network‑1 repurchased an aggregate of 212,262 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $286,617 (exclusive of commissions) or an average price per share of $1.35. Since inception of its Share Repurchase Program (August 2011) to December 31, 2025, Network‑1 has repurchased an aggregate of 10,586,494 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $20,269,971 (exclusive of commissions). Combined with the approximately $24,300,000 in dividends paid beginning in 2010 through December 31, 2025, Network‑1 has returned, through such dividends and share repurchases, in excess of $44,500,000 to its shareholders.

Q4 and 2025 Highlights

2025 same asset revenue has increased by 21% to $81.2 million compared to $67.4 million in 2024, overall increase was primarily driven by the improvement in the Autograph performance, due to the completion of its extensive renovations. Total revenue from hotels and resorts was $81.2 million compared to $121.3 million in 2024; the decrease is mainly due to the sale of 11 Courtyard hotels in September 2024 and Courtyard Tucson in January 2025.
2025 same asset NOI¹ increased to $11.7 million compared to $8.8 million in 2024. The increase over prior year is primarily driven by higher revenues at the Autograph, and partially offset by increases in operating expenses across the portfolio.
2025 Adjusted EBITDA² was $4.7 million compared to $3.9 million in 2024.
2025 Funds from Operations (“FFO”)¹ was negative $5.4 million (or negative $0.33) per share, compared to a negative 2024 FFO of $10.3 million (or negative $0.62) per share.
The book value per share of the shareholder equity is 12.18 NIS ($5.23), per share, which is 56% above the closing price of its shares at December 31, 2025.

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

All amounts in millions of Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated

Total revenue for 2025 was $81.7, compared to $121.4 in 2024. Revenue from hotels and resorts decreased by 27% to 81.7 driven by the sale of 11 Courtyard hotels in September 2024 and one Courtyard in January 2025, as well as lower operating performance at the Hyatt Regency Arcade hotel and Fort Myers Courtyard hotel. This was partially offset by an increase in Autograph revenues after its rebranding and reopening in 2024. Same asset revenue increased by 21% relative to 2024.
Same asset NOI for 2025 was $11.7, compared to $8.8 in 2024. The increase over prior year is mainly due to an improvement in Autograph performance, following its extensive renovations, and partially offset by a lower operating performance at the Hyatt Regency Arcade hotel.
Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 was $4.7, compared to $3.9 in 2024.
Net financial expense for 2025 totalled $62.7, compared to $34.6 in 2024, primarily driven by the increase of provision for credit losses to $47.3 million. This was partially offset by lower interest expense and reduced amortization of deferred financing expenses following the repayment of debt. In addition, no revaluation loss was recognized in respect of hedge instruments and bonds in 2025, as such were no longer outstanding during the year.
FFO for 2025 was ($5.4) compared to $(10.3) in 2024. There is a decrease in FFO due to the sale of the 12 Courtyard hotels, partially offset by the completion of hotel renovations, as discussed above, which in the prior period negatively impacted earnings.
Net income (loss) for 2025 was ($85.6), compared to ($58.5) in 2024. Excluding minority interests, the Company had net income (loss) of ($76.8) in 2025, compared to net income (loss) of ($49.9) in 2024.
Total comprehensive income (loss) for 2025 was ($97.7) compared to total comprehensive loss of ($60.4) in 2024.

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

Total assets as at December 31, 2025were $325.96 compared to $458.8 as at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the sale of Courtyard Tucson, revaluation of capital assets, increase in provision for credit losses, write down of deferred tax asset, debt payments, and capital expenditure payments.
Cash and cash equivalents were $13.7as at December 31, 2025 compared to $24.6 as at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to capital expenditures, settle Keewatin-related matters, and make payments to the former Chairman of the Board of Directors. This was partially offset by cash proceeds from the Bear Valley vendor take-back (VTB) loans, the receipt of funds from an increase in the shareholder loan and by the increase in the performance of Autograph hotels after renovation.
Net debt as at December 31, 2025totalled $131.03 a decrease of $28.8 (or 18.0%) compared to net debt of $159.8 as at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to reclassification of the portion of the shareholders loan to equity, loan repayments mainly related to the partial repayment of USD 6.6 million of on the Autograph loans, the full repayment of loan at corporate level of $3 million and FX translation on US loans balances. This was partially offset by the additional bank construction loan draw of USD 1 million for Autograph hotel and the further draw of USD 118k on Ithaca renovation loan.
Total equity attributable to shareholders was $117.5 ($146.2 including non-controlling interest), representing 45% of total assets.

Additional Information:

Non-IFRS Measures

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). However, the following measures: NOI, FFO, FFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS, and should not be compared to or construed as alternatives to profit/loss, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial performance determined in accordance with IFRS. NOI, FFO, FFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA as computed by the Company, may differ from similar measures as reported by other companies in similar or different industries. However, these non-IFRS measures are recognized supplemental measures of performance for real estate issuers widely used by the real estate industry, particularly by those publicly traded entities that own and operate income-producing properties, and the Company believes they provide useful supplemental information to both management and readers in measuring the financial performance of the Company. Skyline also uses certain supplementary financial measures as key performance indicators. Supplementary financial measures are financial measures that are intended to be disclosed on a periodic basis to depict the historical or expected future financial performance, financial position, or cash flow, that are not disclosed directly in the financial statements and are not non-IFRS measures. Same Asset NOI is a financial measure that is calculated using the same methodology as NOI, but only including NOI from properties owned for 2 full years prior to December 31, 2024.

Further details on non-IFRS measures and Supplementary Financial Measures are set out in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the period ended December 31, 2024 and available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com or MAGNA at www.magna.isa.gov.il and are incorporated by reference in this news release.

The reconciliations for each non-IFRS measure included in this news release are outlined as follows:

NOI

Skyline defines NOI as property revenues less property operating expenses. Management believes that NOI is a useful key indicator of performance on an unlevered basis as it represents a measure over which Management of property operations has control. NOI is also a key input used by management in determining the value of the Properties. NOI is used by industry analysts, investors and Management to measure operating performance of Canadian companies. NOI represents revenue from cash generating properties less property operating expenses excluding depreciation as presented in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Given the seasonality of its hospitality operations, NOI for a fiscal year (or trailing four quarters) is considered by Management as a more accurate measure of the Company’s performance.

Skyline calculates NOI as operating income before depreciation, valuation adjustments and other income, adjusted for:

Segmented results from Development Segment
Selling and Marketing expenses
Administrative and General expenses

Alternatively, the same result is arrived at by adding segmented results (per note 28 in the consolidated financial statements) of the Company’s hotels and resorts. The following table sets out a reconciliation of NOI from hotels and resorts to operating income before depreciation, valuation adjustments and other income:

NOI from hotels and resorts
C$000’s	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2025			2024
Operating income before depreciation, valuation adjustments and other income		4,716			3,867
Segmented results from Development Segment		75			2,968
Administrative and General Expenses		4,917			8,153
NOI from hotels and resorts		9,708			14,988
Income from hotels and resorts		81,732			111,889
Operating expenses of hotels and resorts		(72,024	)		(96,901	)
NOI from hotels and resorts		9,708			14,988

FFO is a non-IFRS financial measure of operating performance widely used by the real estate industry, particularly by those publicly traded entities that own and operate income-producing properties. FFO is not an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS. Skyline calculates the financial measure in accordance with Israel Security Authority. The use of FFO, combined with the data required under IFRS, has been included for the purpose of improving the understanding of the operating results of Skyline.

Management believes that FFO provides an operating performance measure that, when compared period-over- period, reflects the impact on operations of trends in occupancy, room rates, operating costs and realty taxes and interest costs, and provides a perspective of the Company’s financial performance that is not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with IFRS. FFO excludes from net income items that do not arise from operating activities, such as fair value adjustments, purchase transaction costs, and deferred income taxes, if any. FFO, however, still includes non-cash revenues related to accounting for straight-line rent and makes no deduction for recurring capital expenditures necessary to sustain the Company’s existing earnings stream. It should be emphasized that the method of calculation of this indicator by the Company may differ from the method of calculation applied by other companies. The following table sets out a reconciliation of FFO to net income:

Funds from Operations (FFO)
C$000’s	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2025			2024
Net income (loss)		(85,621	)		(58,536	)
Attributable to non-controlling interest		(8,830	)		(8,672	)
Net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company		(76,791	)		(49,864	)
(Gain) loss from fair value adjustments		4,904			6,413
Provision for credit losses		43,787			3,723
Depreciation and impairment		18,328			22,284
Deferred tax		4,262			(11,932	)
Derecognition of investment costs and other capital losses (gains)		64			18,047
Tax on gain from disposal of a property		–			1,076

FFO		(5,446	)		(10,253	)

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company’s operations include income producing assets and revenue from the sale of developed real estate. As such, Management believes Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) is a useful supplemental measure of its operating performance for investors and debt holders.

EBITDA is defined as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Income from hotels and resorts;
Sale of residential real estate;

Less:

Operating expenses from hotels and resorts;
Cost of sales of residential real estate;
Selling and marketing expenses;
Administration and general expenses

Adjusted EBITDA does not include fair value gains, gains on sale or other expenses, and is presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of profit and loss for year ended December 31, 2025 as operating income before depreciation, valuation adjustments and other income.

Adjusted EBITDA from Operations Adjusted EBITDA from Operations combines performance of income producing and development activities:
C$000’s	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2025		2024
ADJUSTED EBITDA from operations		4,716		3,867

An Asteroid Just Hit Earth – Where Did Everything Land? New Global Challenge Seeks Answers
- Bright minds called to solve a problem that’s vexed experts
- Cash, career opportunities and potential to save lives on offer
SYDNEY, AU / ACCESS Newswire / March 16, 2026 / When an asteroid slams into Earth, where does the debris land? Fragments of every size, shape, and density scatter across vast distances – and predicting where they end up is a problem that has vexed scientists for decades. The same challenge applies to any sudden, violent disruption: landslides, building collapses or avalanches.

Freelancer, the world’s largest freelancing and crowdsourcing marketplace, today announced the “Boom: Trajectory Unknown Challenge” – a global competition seeking breakthrough AI/ML solutions to predict where materials land after sudden, violent disruptions.

The challenge, part of Freelancer’s Moonshot Innovation Program, offers an US$7,000 prize for the team or individual that most effectively cracks this deceptively complex problem: creating machine learning algorithms that accurately predict the final resting place of scattered materials of different sizes, shapes, and densities.

“Imagine an asteroid impact where every second counts – emergency teams need to know where debris landed, where people might be trapped, or where critical infrastructure was struck,” said Freelancer Chief Executive Matt Barrie. “This is an opportunity to work on technology that could genuinely save lives – and be handsomely rewarded for your expertise.”

The Moonshot Innovation Program recently opened to all enterprises after a decade in which users submitted more than 20,000 entries to challenges set by NASA, NIH, and the CDC. The program’s growing roster of sponsors now includes the United Nations Development Programme, which partnered with Freelancer to crowdsource affordable solutions for detecting underwater explosive ordnance threatening communities in conflict and post-conflict zones worldwide.

The platform has helped NASA save 80-99% on R&D costs and compressed the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s river modeling from 72 hours to just 60 minutes.

Mereo Fiber Expands National Platform with Two Acquisitions

Acquisitions of Data Stream Incorporated and Xcelerate Networks Add Over 100 Bulk Connectivity Properties, Adding Geographic Density and Platform Scale

PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / March 16, 2026 / Mereo Fiber, a leading national provider of bulk connectivity solutions for multifamily communities, today announced the completion of two strategic acquisitions that further expand its national platform and strengthen its position as one of the industry’s premier at-scale bulk connectivity and infrastructure providers.

The company acquired Data Stream Incorporated, a Minnesota-based provider of managed Wi-Fi and streaming content services, in early February 2026, and Xcelerate Networks, a managed connectivity provider serving multifamily and senior living communities across the Pacific Northwest, Mountain West, Texas, and the Southeast, in March 2026.

This milestone solidifies Mereo Fiber’s role as a pure-play bulk connectivity platform delivering reliable, high-performance internet infrastructure to multifamily, single-family-for-rent, HOA, and senior living communities nationwide.

The combination of Data Stream Incorporated’s and Xcelerate Networks’ strong regional market presence and longstanding owner relationships with Mereo Fiber’s centralized operational platform will enable enhanced service delivery, deeper regional density, and expanded growth opportunities across both existing and new markets. As part of this expansion, Minneapolis, Minnesota will serve as Mereo Fiber’s newest regional office, joining the company’s growing network of operational hubs in Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Dallas, and Chicago, while further strengthening on-the-ground capabilities across the Southeast and Pacific Northwest.

“These acquisitions represent far more than unit growth – they expand the capabilities, relationships, and regional expertise that strengthen our national platform,” said Matt Ostrega, CEO of Mereo Fiber. “Additionally, both organizations share a common set of values with Mereo; something we firmly believe is foundational to long-term, sustainable growth and to maintaining the relentless service culture that defines how we win.”

Together, the acquisitions add more than 100 properties to Mereo Fiber’s portfolio, bringing the company’s national footprint to nearly 110,000 units served across more than 530 communities

As part of the transactions, both Data Stream Incorporated and Xcelerate Networks will transition to operate under the Mereo Fiber brand.

James Cotter served as an independent sell-side advisor to Data Stream Incorporated. Taft served as seller’s legal counsel while Morrison Foerster advised Mereo on the transactions. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Digi Power X Provides Clarification on US Data Centers Transaction
This news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the Company’s amended and restated prospectus supplement dated November 18, 2025, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated May 15, 2025.

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / March 16, 2026 / Digi Power X Inc. (“Digi Power X” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:DGXX)(Cboe Canada:DGX) provides an update on its news release of March 13, 2026, regarding the launch of the next phase of development of US Data Centers, Inc. (“USDC”). This news release is intended to clarify USDC’s corporate structure for shareholders, partners and other stakeholders of the Company. USDC’s business is limited to the manufacturing and distribution of the ARMS system, a turnkey modular AI data center system. USDC does not own or operate Digi Power X data center sites and does not participate in site-level revenue. All revenue generated from Digi Power X-owned properties belongs 100% to Digi Power X. Digi Power X currently holds a 55% majority equity stake in USDC.

USDC at a Glance

US Data Centers, Inc. is an equipment manufacturing and distribution company focused exclusively on the ARMS – a turnkey modular AI data center system marketed to enterprises, utilities and developers with powered land. USDC does not own or operate any data center sites. Digi Power X currently holds a majority equity stake in USDC, while the co-founding management team, including Hans Vestberg, former Chief Executive Officer of Verizon Communications, holds approximately 35% in founder equity. Seed institutional investors hold the remaining equity.

Complete Separation of Assets and Revenue

Digi Power X confirms the following:
- All ARMS pods deployed at Digi Power X-owned sites, all GPUs within those sites and all related revenues – including colocation, managed services and contracted deployments – belong 100% to Digi Power X. USDC has no claim on any pod, GPU or site revenue.
- All Digi Power X assets, including its data center facilities, infrastructure, ARMS pods, GPUs, technology and proprietary systems, remain solely owned by Digi Power X.
- All pipeline contracts and strategic agreements in development remain entirely with Digi Power X.
- USDC’s role is limited to the manufacturing and distribution of ARMS equipment. Upon sale to Digi Power X and deployment of ARMS pods at a Digi Power X site, the pods and all GPUs within them become the exclusive property of Digi Power X. USDC retains no ownership interest, profit participation or contractual claim on any Digi Power X pod, GPU, site, asset, revenue or business opportunity.
- Any future equipment Digi Power X purchases from USDC will be at cost.
Introducing US Data Centers Inc.: A New Revenue Opportunity

The formation of USDC as an independent subsidiary was not a reactive measure. It was announced in February 2025 as a deliberate long-term strategy – to build USDC as a dedicated, standalone AI infrastructure platform. USDC serves enterprises, utilities and developers with powered land who need a fast, scalable path to AI compute infrastructure. USDC’s business is selling the equipment – not owning or operating any sites itself.

USDC will commercialize the ARMS modular data center system, a turnkey modular AI data center system that can convert a powered site into an operational AI data center in a fraction of the time required by conventional construction. USDC will manufacture and sell the ARMS system, while its customers will own and operate their own sites. All revenues from Digi Power X-owned deployments of its own ARMS systems belong exclusively to Digi Power X.

“Digi Power X is not sharing its business – it is expanding it. Every asset, every pod, every GPU and every dollar of revenue at our sites belongs entirely to Digi Power X.

USDC is a separate engine built to capture a separate market. We own 55% of that engine, and it costs our shareholders nothing, with only upside for Digi Power X.“

– Michel Amar, Chairman & CEO, Digi Power X Inc.

Digi Power X Continues to Execute on its Core Mission

Digi Power X remains focused on its core business: developing, owning and operating data center facilities and delivering enterprise colocation and AI/GPU infrastructure services.

USDC is not a change to Digi Power X’s strategy. Rather it is an expansion into an adjacent market through a new product line supported by a dedicated team and separate capitalization path.

Investor & Analyst Clarification: Transaction Structure Q&A

Digi Power X addresses below the most commonly raised questions by investors and analysts about USDC’s formation and structure.

1. Why is USDC being developed as an independent company rather than an internal division of Digi Power X?

Establishing USDC as a standalone entity was a deliberate choice designed to maximize value for Digi Power X shareholders. The rationale rests on five pillars:

Dedicated Capitalization Without Parent Dilution

USDC can raise institutional capital at the subsidiary level without Digi Power X issuing additional shares. If USDC were an internal division, funding AI hardware growth would likely require parent-level equity financings.

Focus and Execution: Keeping Manufacturing Separate

Building a scaled manufacturing and distribution organization requires distinct capabilities – supplier qualification, inventory management, QA/QC, logistics, warranty support and a specialized sales channel – that differ from developing and operating AI data center sites. Housing this function in USDC allows Digi Power X to remain capital- and execution-focused on site development and contracted GPU deployments, while USDC scales the ARMS product line with dedicated governance and a separate balance sheet. Importantly, Digi Power X purchases ARMS systems at cost and owns ARMS systems deployed at its sites, and USDC retains no ownership interest or participation in Digi Power X site-level revenue.

Enterprise and Government Contracting Requirements

Large enterprises, hyperscalers and U.S. federal agencies often require procurement through a dedicated standalone legal entity. USDC operates with its own legal identity, balance sheet and governance, supporting the institutional procurement relationships central to its revenue model.

Talent Attraction Through Meaningful Co-Founder Equity

Hans Vestberg alone – as former CEO of one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies – represents a relationship asset that could not be purchased at any price.

Preserved Optionality for an Independent Liquidity Event

As an independent entity, USDC maintains the flexibility to pursue an IPO or strategic transaction in the future. Digi Power X’s equity stake would be valued at market pricing in any such event, creating potential liquidity optionality for Digi Power X shareholders.

2. Will the transaction impact Digi Power X’s revenues?

This is an important question for Digi Power X shareholders and the Company welcomes the opportunity to provide further clarification.

USDC’s Business is Completely Separate from that of Digi Power X

The formation of USDC as a standalone business will not impact the current revenue stream of Digi Power X. All revenues generated directly by Digi Power X remain the exclusive revenues of the Company, and USDC has no claim over any of them. USDC is strictly an additive, separate venture and any revenue generated by USDC through the manufacturing and distribution of AI infrastructure equipment is revenue that would otherwise not be generated by Digi Power X. Through the formation of USDC as a standalone venture, Digi Power X will receive the benefit of additional revenue from manufacturing and distribution of ARMS systems through its equity position in USDC.

Digi Power X Financial Position and Near-Term Milestones

For full context, Digi Power X provides the following financial summary as of the date of this news release:
- $80 million in cash and cash equivalents. Digi Power X holds a strong liquidity position in cash, Bitcoin, Ethereum and cash deposits (based on Bitcoin and Ethereum prices as of March 16, 2026 per CoinMarketCap), with zero debt outstanding.
- $15 million in capital expenditures year to date, fully funded from existing cash with no external financings in fiscal 2026.
- Zero share dilution from equity financings of Digi Power X in fiscal 2026. The Company has not issued any new shares in connection with an equity financing in the current fiscal year to date, emphasizing the Company’s focus on minimizing shareholder dilution.
- Fully owned sites. The Company owns all 4 of its sites, including its combined cycle power plant, with a total of approximately 400MW of secured power capacity across its sites.
- ARMS200 Deployment. The Company’s ARMS200 system in Alabama is currently in its commissioning phase, with go-live targeted for late March 2026 and first revenues currently expected in April 2026.
Summary

Digi Power X is establishing USDC as an independent subsidiary to unlock dedicated capitalization, enterprise contracting capability, world-class co-founder talent and long-term liquidity optionality. All Digi Power X assets, revenue streams and planned initiatives remain exclusively owned by Digi Power X. USDC is an independent, additive venture with no claim on existing or planned Digi Power X revenue or assets.

About Digi Power X

Digi Power X is an energy-efficient digital infrastructure company focused on the development of next-generation data centers and energy solutions designed to power the future of high-performance computing.

About US Data Centers, Inc.
