Q: What are the factors behind the 2026 guidance range?

A: The 2026 guidance range is based on contractual backlog with clear delivery milestones and the first phase of the Southeast Asia data center project. It's also dependent on semiconductor shortages, delivery delays, and customer deployment timing, but there's upside from additional AI data center phases and new sovereign mandates.

Q: Can you provide more detail on deliverables in the large Freyr contract in 2026?

A: The first $100 million is from a run rate build. It involves 6 to 8 megawatts of high-density AI racks that come online in batches as power, cooling, and network zones are commissioned. GPU capacity follows as racks go live, with revenue ramping up as clusters are deployed through NVIDIA and partner ecosystems.

Q: What are the risks to the guidance and how do you see the upside?

A: Risks include customer deployment timing, supply chain constraints, and regulatory approvals. The upside comes from programs coming live, driving GPU as a service usage, and potential additional deployments in the FREYR contract, as well as winning more government contracts and MOUs turning into revenue.
