   Subject: Kestrel Power – pricing model and unit economics Hi [Name], Thanks for the question. Here is how we price and how the economics work, using the figures from our Q3 board materials (5 October 2026). **Pricing** - **Core contract (PPM, Power Production Management):** $7,500 per MW per year. We are accountable for the energy a site produces (98% weather-adjusted), not for completing a maintenance checklist. Legacy O&M runs at roughly $3,500 per MW per year, and the largest US O&M contractor sells checklist maintenance at about that level with availability guarantees, not energy guarantees. - **Software platform:** $1,500 per MW per year. - **Field services:** - Mobilization fee: $50,000 to $100,000 per site, one time. - Elite field services: $5,500 per technician per mobilized day. - **Upside per site:** the base price stays at $7,500. With the upside items (bonus capture and software), a site can reach $9,250 per MW per year. **Unit economics** - **Contribution margin** (margin after travel, materials and rental equipment) was 80% in the latest period, down 6 points from April. Earlier materials showed 85% to 90%. - **Field services gross margin** (after technician payroll) was 55% in the first half of 2026. We forecast 61% for the second half. - **Customer value:** the sites we look after run at 93% to 95% availability, against the 98% they were financed on. Closing that gap is what our PPM pricing is built around. **Where we are on revenue** - Annualized revenue went from a $620K run-rate in October 2025 to a $3.1M run-rate in September 2026, including awarded work. - Year to date through September, revenue is $1,054K. Field services are 91% of that, software is $64K and PPM is $30K. - Field services revenue is lumpy. Owners avoid substation outages in summer peak demand, so July to September is the quiet season. We track the annualized trend, not individual months. - Our full-year 2026 forecast is $2,874K, which is below the earlier $5.2M plan. **Contracts** We have four PPM contracts in negotiation, covering 475 MWdc in total. None is signed yet. Two are pending final signature and two are verbally awarded. At the base price, that is the recurring revenue we would add if they close. We would grow the field team from 4 technicians to 10 if all four close. I can walk you through the model in more detail on a call. Best, [Name] Head of Strategy, Kestrel Power Based on: [3][4][5][6][7][2][9][10][12][13][14][16][17][22] Assumptions: I used the latest board and pricing figures over the older March and June decks. I left out customer names and the earlier "signed" claim from the March overview, since the board deck says none of the four contracts is signed.
