Gross Margin Expansion Annual gross margin expanded from 4.2% in FY2024 to 15.8% in FY2025, reflecting improved unit economics and operating scale. Operating Leverage H1 FY2026 loss from operations narrowed 12% YoY to $1.6M, while revenue grew 2.6x, demonstrating operating leverage. Source: Exascale Labs Inc. audited annual financial statements. Figures may not foot due to rounding. (1) Adjusted operating loss is a non - GAAP measure, and represents loss from operations excluding share - based compensation expens es. Non - GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to los s f rom operations, or as an indicator of Exascale’s operating performance. Adjusted operating loss presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures diff ere ntly, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to Exascale’s data. Exascale encourages you to review its financial information, which will be included in the Registration Statement, in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. T he Registration Statement will also contain a reconciliation of Exascale’ s loss from operations to adjusted operating loss. 22
The industry is flooded with GPU orders but lacks the infrastructure to turn them into usable compute. The Constraint is Deployment, Not Just Silicon 23 The Power Wall Traditional power distribution fails at >100kW rack densities. 54V architecture is insufficient for MW - scale racks. The Cooling Limit Air cooling is obsolete for next - gen clusters (Blackwell+). Liquid cooling integration remains a massive operational barrier. The “Last Mile” Gap “Finance - first” Neoclouds struggle to commission complex physical sites on time. Chip Delivery (Fast) (Slow) Data Center Delivery & Compute Online The Deployment Gap
Exascale Solutions Designed to Address Key AI Infrastructure Deployment Challenges 24 Design, supply chain, and technology constraints can extend deployment timelines Limited Data Center Capacity Delivery, commissioning and integration can extend deployment timelines Complex GPU Cluster Deployment Downtime, underutilization and limited observability can reduce effective compute output Underutilization and Operational Inefficiency Traditional power architectures may become more difficult to scale at very high rack densities Increasing Rack Density Requirements Deployment Challenges Accelerated deployment timelines AI - native Modular Data Center Improved deployment economics Professional & Experienced Deployment Team Improved performance, utilization and reliability Software - defined Monitoring & Optimization Increased power efficiency (2) Smaller footprint (2) Faster install (2) 800V Direct Current Solid State Transformer Exascale Solutions (1) (1) Includes certain infrastructure offerings that management believes are ready for commercial engagement and are not reflec ted in current revenue. Statements on this slide reflect management’s current views regarding selected deployment challenges and the design objectives and potential benefits of the Company’s offerings. Any benefits rela tin g to deployment timing, cost, reliability, performance or efficiency depend on customer configuration, workload profile, site conditions and other assumptions, and actual results may differ materially.

Illustrative positioning across selected AI infrastructure categories Exascale’s Differentiated Approach 25 (1) Reflects management’s assessment as of April 2026 based on publicly available information, third - party industry materials, and management’s understanding of representative market participants. Offerings, positioning, and business models may evolve and may vary by company and over time. (2) The comparison is illustrative and intended to highlight general positioning across selected categories, not to provide a c omplete description of any competitor or category, and should not be interpreted as a ranking or as a statement that any company lacks capabilities not listed. (3) Terms such as ‘selected offerings,’ ‘limited,’ ‘not typical,’ ‘primarily internal use,’ ‘available,’ and similar descrip tor s are qualitative, inherently judgmental, and not based on a uniform industry standard. (4) Exascale’s infrastructure solutions include offerings that management believes are ready for commercial engagement; cert ain such offerings have not generated revenue to date.
