   Kestrel Power's revenue through September 2026 was $1,054K, and it was very uneven from month to month. The annualized trend is a different measure, and it points up. **Monthly actuals (preliminary for September, $000s) [1]** - Jan 31, Feb 190, Mar 58, Apr 240, May 12, Jun 352, Jul 22, Aug 131, Sep 18. - Field services were $960K of the year-to-date total (91%), software $64K and PPM $30K [1]. PPM is the performance-based maintenance contract. - Software revenue began in June at $16K per month [1]. **Why it's lumpy** - Field services is substation work booked when plant owners schedule outages. Owners avoid outages in summer peak demand, so July to September is the quiet season [2]. - Trailing three-month revenue was $624K at the end of June and $171K at the end of September [2]. **The annualized view** - The board tracks the annualized trend rather than the summer months. The run-rate grew 5x over twelve months, from $620K in October 2025 to $3.1M in September 2026, and that figure includes awarded work [4]. Awarded work is not yet booked revenue, so this measure differs from the actuals above. **Outlook (forecast, not actual)** - The forecast is October $470K, November $560K and December $790K, for a full-year 2026 of $2,874K standalone [5]. - Q4 relies on $210K of work won and scheduled for October, plus $1.6M of quotes out [5]. - The June deck planned $5.2M for the year, with monthly revenue above $400K from July [14]. The October board forecast replaces that plan, and actuals came in well below it. **Contracts** - None of the four PPM contracts in negotiation (475 MWdc in total) is signed yet. Two are pending final signature and two are verbally awarded [10]. Would you like a version of this written as an investor email?
