Good afternoon. Welcome to Duos Technologies Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Earnings Conference Call. Joining us for today's call are Duos President, Doug Recker, and CFO, Leah Brown. Operator instructions. Then before we conclude today's call, I'll provide the necessary cautions regarding the forward-looking statements made by management during this call. Now I'd like to turn the call over to Mr. Doug Recker. Sir, please proceed.

Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Earlier today, we issued our earnings press release and our 10-K for 2025. Copies are available in the Investor Relations section of our website. I encourage all listeners to review press releases and our 10-K filing to better understand some of the details we'll be discussing during this afternoon's call. Before I begin, I would like to take a minute to personally thank Chuck Ferry for his leadership and guidance. Chuck has served the Duos organization and provided personal mentorship to me. I value Chuck and the opportunity he has provided me at Duos. It is not every day that you get to be mentored by a war hero and a corporate champion. And for that, I will be forever grateful. I look forward to your continued mentorship and guidance as you continue to serve on our Board of Directors. Thank you, Chuck, for all you have done and continue to do for the Duos organization. As your newly appointed CEO, I am honored and excited to discuss the focus of Duos Technologies Group. We are now fully dedicated to the data center market through our Duos Edge and Tech Solutions division, driven by accelerating customer demand. I will get into more of that in a minute, but I want to give you an update on the Rail technology and Duos Energy subsidiaries. First, let me talk to you about our legacy business, which is the railcar inspection portal. In previous calls, we have discussed that this line of business has become less important to our future at Duos. We also talked about diversifying our business strategy to edge computing. Thus, we have made the decision to completely divest the Rail division. This divestiture is expected to take place over the next 60 days. This decision did not come lightly, and I know the rail technology has a rich history with Duos shareholders. In fact, my involvement goes back many years before joining Duos and I was intimately involved in the design and building of the Edge Data Centers that the portal uses today. However, the lack of growth and regulatory hurdles for that business has proved to be extremely challenging to manage. The decision to divest is intended to free up company resources and cut significant SG&A expenses. More details will be made available on the divestiture in the near future. Second, I would like to talk about Duos Energy Corporation. As many of you may remember from last year, Duos entered into an asset management agreement with APR Energy to help find new contracts to engineer, procure, construct and operate fast power plants. Duos was also given a 5% equity stake in the parent of APR Energy. The AMA provided the interim financial ability to execute and pivot to our data center strategy. We announced on the Q3 earnings call that the AMA would conclude in 2026 and that Duos will retain the 5% equity stake. Now I would like to discuss our data center strategy and our new line of businesses at Duos Technology Solutions. Part of our strategy in building and deploying data centers at a rapid pace has always been focused on cost savings, lowering our capital expenditures. Building data center infrastructure is very capital intensive. As Duos is a relatively small buyer compared to the larger hyperscalers and colocation companies, we needed a way to buy products cheaper. So we created Duos Technology Solutions. This brand-new division allows us to do just that as well as provide a new stream of revenue for us. We started by hiring an industry veteran with a proven track record, who understands our business as well as the data center market overall. Kristen Sanderson joined Duos and will serve as a Senior Vice President of Duos Technology Solutions. Kristen has over 18 years of data center product experience, vast market distribution knowledge, relationships with all the key supplier partners that Duos needs to work with and a wealth of relationships in the data center industry. This new division allows Duos to procure materials for its own builds at a much lower rate than the legacy way of purchasing through traditional distribution. Duos Technology Solutions offers the same strategic sourcing and product distribution to new customers, including large-scale enterprise organizations, hyperscalers, large colocation companies, low-voltage contractors and general contractors across the United States. I'm very pleased to report that through the first quarter, Duos Tech Solutions has already sold $10 million in new business, which currently sits as backlog, all of which I expect to be recorded as revenue this year. This new line of business has low overhead and is simple to execute while having strong commitments by the end client. The revenue generator from Tech Solutions is expected not only to replace the revenue from the APR AMA, but also provide better margins, thus further contributing to the overall future profitability and growth of Duos Technologies Group. Kristen has built a seasoned team with the talent and short three-month build, tremendous sales pipeline, and we expect amazing things from this new venture. Now I want to shift our discussion to the core of our new data center-focused organization, Duos Edge AI. The demand for edge computing continues to grow at a rapid pace, and I'm pleased to share that Duos Edge AI is in a great place to meet this demand. The second half of 2025 proved to be extremely busy for Duos Edge. In July 2025, we successfully completed a capital raise of $45 million with Titan Partners to fund the construction and deployment of 15 EDCs to further broaden the connectivity and compute needs of underserved Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets. Duos Edge AI was also awarded a patent for clean room technology for modular data center deployments, which gives us a strategic competitive advantage in the space. Our goal in 2025 was to procure, manufacture, deploy 15 edge data centers. This goal was extremely aggressive and unheard of in our industry. We are proud to report today that we have accomplished that goal. Our focus for the first half of 2026 is to continue executing our sales strategy to acquire new customers in our markets to fully utilize the capacity of each EDC. In March 2026, we completed a $65 million capital raise to deploy approximately 2,300 GPUs-as-a-service, a 4.8-megawatt high-density EDC deployment for a leading hyperscaler and to expand our high-density EDC footprint to support growing demand for power and compute across AI inference, training, enterprise and hyperscale AI workloads. We also have five new EDCs in production with plans for an additional 20 megawatts of deployed capacity by year-end. Having inventory for our EDCs to deploy in critical markets is crucial for our continued growth and success in this market. The Duos Edge AI story and its initial success is garnering tremendous excitement and demand. So inventory will allow us to react quickly to new market requests. Part of this new demand we now see is for higher-density power, which serves AI and high-power compute needs. While Duos Edge AI is committed to sticking to our original model of deploying in the Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets, we are seeing unprecedented demand for power in megawatts compared to kilowatts. The data center market is experiencing a boom like we've never seen before and building at scale is costly, and it takes years to complete. During the course of deploying our 15 EDCs, we saw an influx of calls requesting more power in the markets where we are formed organizations all across the country. There is such a shortage of data center space and power that companies are turning to Duos Edge AI. So we are going to start to build our new EDCs with greater power capacity to meet this demand. We have shown in the market we can deploy at lower cost with an incredibly faster speed to market. Duos Edge AI will now be able to cater to customers that have the high densities like the neocloud providers and hyperscalers for their remote edge sites. These higher power capacity EDCs should provide much higher monthly recurring revenue for Duos which we will explain in our financial update coming up shortly. Before I transition to the financials, I would like to touch on our start of the year and our first partnership in deploying high-density power EDCs. This month, Duos executed its first contract across two newly launched business lines, GPU-as-a-Service and high-power colocation service for AI infrastructure. Under our GPU-as-a-Service agreement, Duos will deploy 2,304 NVIDIA GPUs across our Edge Data Center platform, generating recurring revenue through a GPU rental model, purpose-built for enterprise and AI workloads. This contract is expected to generate approximately $176 million in revenue over a 36-month term, with margins exceeding 80% and expected annual EBITDA of approximately $40 million. Separately, Duos was awarded a high-power colocation contract to deliver 4.8 megawatts of critical compute power to support a leading hyperscaler's high-density NVIDIA GPU cluster, housed within Duos edge data centers. This contract represents Duos' entry into the market of high-power colocation where demand for AI-grade infrastructure continues to significantly outpace supply. Together, these contracts mark a significant commercial inflection for Duos, establishing two distinct and complementary revenue streams within our data center platform and validating Edge Data Center infrastructure at the highest level of the AI compute market. Since announcing these contracts, we have received strong incremental inbound interest from hyperscalers, neocloud providers and other large-scale compute customers seeking high-density EDC solutions. We see a significant opportunity to scale the high-power EDC model through 2026 and beyond. Now I would like to turn it over to our CFO, Leah Brown, who will go over our financials for 2025. Leah?

Thank you, Doug. This has been an exciting year for Duos. 2025 is a year marked by significant revenue growth, strategic investments and meaningful progress towards building a stronger, more scalable company. I am truly excited to walk through our full year financial performance and highlight key operational drivers that shaped our results. For 2025, total consolidated revenue was approximately $27 million. The company previously projected revenue in 2025 of $28 million. Although that target was not met, we recorded a little over $1 million in deferred revenue for Technology Solutions, which is contracted, cash was received and we will record as revenue in 2026. In 2025, the $27 million in revenue was a significant increase compared to $7.3 million in 2024, which is over a 270% increase year-over-year. This growth was primarily driven by services and consulting revenue from the asset management agreement with APR Energy, totaling $22.4 million in 2025 versus $900,000 in 2024. The company delivered materially stronger gross margin in 2025, generating $7.9 million in gross profit, achieving approximately 29%, a significant year-over-year improvement. This was driven by improved cost absorption and continued operating efficiency. The company reported a net loss of approximately $9.8 million in 2025, an improvement from the $10.8 million net loss in 2024. The year-over-year improvement was driven primarily by higher revenue and significantly stronger gross margin. As we discussed on our Q3 earnings call, achieving positive adjusted EBITDA was an important milestone for the company, reflecting the early benefits of revenue scale and margin improvement. I'm pleased to report that we've built on that progress in Q4, delivering positive adjusted EBITDA for the second consecutive quarter. This consistency is meaningful and demonstrates that the Q3 result was not a one-time event, but rather the continuation of improving operating performance as the business scales. The consecutive improvement from Q3 to Q4 reinforces our confidence in the direction of the business, driving higher revenue volume, improved gross margin and a more efficient cost structure. Let's shift to the balance sheet. The company ended 2025 with approximately $63 million in total assets, reflecting meaningful growth year-over-year. Cash increased significantly compared to the prior year driven by capital raises during the year which strengthened liquidity and enhanced our ability to support operations and planned investments. Another strong position on the balance sheet is property and equipment, each with significant year-over-year increases, reflecting continued investments in infrastructure and assets required to support program execution and long-term growth initiatives. The current contract liabilities over $5 million support the company's future revenue recognition. On the equity side, capital raised during the year strengthened our balance sheet and liquidity, while ongoing investment in the business aligns our strategy to scale operations and drive longer-term value creation. 2025 was a transformative year for Duos Technologies Group. We significantly scaled revenue, strengthened our liquidity position and made strategic investments that position the company for increased operating leverage and margin expansion going forward. As previously reported, the Rail segment remains relatively flat. In response, we are divesting the rail business and reallocating resources to support the continued expansion of our Edge Data Center segment. Turning to our 2026 outlook, the company is providing revenue guidance of $50 million to $55 million in total revenue across all business lines. This forecast reflects growth from both our core operations and newer initiatives, which Doug will cover, and we believe positions us for a strong year. Due to the timing of revenue recognition, a significant portion of revenue is expected to be recognized in the second half of the year, coinciding with the period in which we expect to achieve positive EBITDA. Our investments and expanded revenue opportunities give us confidence in our ability to execute and continue building a stronger, more profitable company. Doug, I'll turn it back to you for additional comments.

Leah, thank you. Before we open this up for questions, I wanted to say again how honored I am to serve as your new CEO. The new data center-focused strategy is the new Duos Technologies Group, and we are poised for great success. We have been awarded global recognition with the Innovation of the Year award at the largest data center and telecom conference at Pacific Telecommunications Council, 2026 in January. We have also been nominated for breakout success in North America Digital Infrastructure Leader of the Year from the Tech Capital Global Awards coming up in May. The global recognitions only solidify that we are on the right path at Duos with a prosperous future ahead. We understand we have a new focus, and this is a departure from our legacy business past. We are taking steps to ensure the new messaging is related to the market and that we will be given the appropriate market coverage moving forward. We will be retaining an IR firm to assist and expect several analysts to report on our new focus and business activities in the near future. And with that, I will open it up to questions. Operator?

Operator

Our first question comes from the line of Ed Woo with Ascendiant Capital Markets.

Speaker 3

Yes, I'd just like to give my congratulations to you, Doug and to the entire Duos team. The growth that you guys had has just been amazing. My question is, as you mentioned that demand remains very, very strong. Are there any worries of competitors entering this market? And what can Duos do to be able to have the advantages to be able to compete if new entrants come in?

That's a great question, and that's why we manage the business appropriately. So you're going to see some people come into the market, like you probably saw the press release from Crusoe. They're entering the market as far as building five to 10 to 20-megawatt modular data centers. They're one of the largest in the business. They build Stargate, they're huge. So that in itself tells us we're in the right market. But what we've done — and this is an incredible piece — I just got back from GTC, and everybody was talking about how they're concerned about deploying with modular because GPUs are extremely sensitive to particles and dust. Ironically, the best part about our business is we obtained a patent in September called the clean room. We actually have a patent that connects to our modular data center that cleans the air before you come in. So all the particles on your body, on your equipment are blown off and filtered off, then you actually walk into the data center. That is huge when it comes to deploying because what's going to happen is the GPU providers like NVIDIA and everybody that make chips, everybody makes servers, they won't honor their warranties if the fans get dirty and dust in them. So that is a huge win for us, and it's going to help differentiate us from competitors coming into the market. You will see them, but we are the only ones that have deployed — prime example, we deployed 15 pods. I challenge everybody that comes into this business that doesn't have a 3D rendering to physically go look at their pod. We had a customer fly in from China last week, and they flew into Corpus Christi to visit our pods, just to see our manufacturing capabilities. So it looks like there'll be a new customer of ours on the hyperscale side, possibly. So we have the experience. We've done it. We can actually show people our markets so they can physically go there to see our customers, see the power burning and see how the facility works. So we welcome the competition, but we're strong where we sit.

Speaker 3

That sounds good. And my last question is kind of like a longer-term plan. I know you guys have been focused on the rural underserved markets. Are there plans to go into the bigger markets? And also, you mentioned China customers or China partners, do you anticipate possibly going international?

Yes. Great question. Right now, our focus is Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets, and let me tell you why. The demands to deploy in a Tier 3 market: I can deploy my pods and get access to power in 90 to 120 days. If I go into a Tier 1 market, I'm competing against the larger data centers and the infrastructure that's already in place. We're going to build infrastructure fast. So where do you do that? You go into markets that have accessible power. They've built substations that have 5 to 10 megawatts available on them and permitting is a lot quicker. So our focus is going to continue to be Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets, and that business sector is huge, and it's going to be huge for the next 10 years. And to your international question, once we start deploying at scale here and move on, we'll be open to international. But right now, our number one focus is in the U.S. in Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets.

Operator

Our next question comes from the line of Dan Weston with WestCap Management.

Speaker 4

Congrats on the quarter. Doug, a couple of quick points of clarification. I think you mentioned you were expecting to have — or you do have — five new EDCs in production to be deployed by year-end, if I heard that right. Are those five EDCs specific to the GPU-as-a-service contract you just signed?

No, those five EDCs are committed to markets that have been contracted. So there are markets in Georgia, and we're working with the utility to deploy on their network as well. So those are our normal pods that we deploy that are identical to the 15 we've deployed. Let me give some clarification because this might help answer a lot of questions for other folks, too. We're still building our same model. Our core is you go after the education, health care and local government in these markets. But what we're doing at the factory is we're building the pod with more power. So we're deploying these units with the same concept, the same places, but we're building more at scale, so we can bring in higher-density users. So yes, that's the model.

Speaker 4

Got it. Back to the first GPU-as-a-service customer that you just recently signed. When do you expect to have those larger pods, if you will, in the ground and expect it to generate revenue?

We're on track for July, August. With permitting and things like that, I'd say August time frame is likely, but we're looking good.

Speaker 4

That's amazing. And as it ties into the guidance that Leah provided — Leah, if you're there, I think I wrote down $50 million to $55 million of revenue expected for this year. Could you give us a sense of how that revenue breaks down, please?

So yes, thank you for that question. The revenue line that we anticipate for this year, we're expecting on a holistic view to achieve that aggregate. As a company, we don't go into specifics for each business line. But overall, we do anticipate meeting that guidance.

Speaker 4

Okay. I understand. And while you're there, you mentioned the PP&E up at $27 million and change. That's obviously a massive increase from last year, but also up $12 million from your Q3. Can you give us a breakdown of what that PP&E is, please?

Absolutely. So the majority of our PP&E is our Edge Data Center. We have 15 data centers, and we've also started prebuying for the next lot that is coming online in 2026. So the majority of that increase is related to those investments in EDCs and prebuys.

Speaker 4

Great stuff. And then last one for me, and I'll jump back in. Doug, I think you mentioned that you had secured the 4.8 megawatts of power for — I assume you're talking about the GPU-as-a-service contract. The initial LOI, I think you mentioned 10 megawatts dedicated to that project. Could you explain a little bit what the delta is there between the 4.8 and the 10 megawatts?

Sure. So the site is built to 10 megawatts. There's 10 megawatts available. They're taking down 4.8 for critical load. That means I can add to that site quickly up to 10 megawatts. Now that site can go to 20 megawatts, but it might take another year to get access to another 10. So the winner here is that site has capability that's already been transformed to 10 megawatts. So there's 10 meg physically available today if I wanted to sell it. I would just build the pods — build another section of pods to get to the 10 meg, another 5-meg cluster of pods.

Speaker 4

And in terms of real estate, if you will, there's plenty of space there to just drop another two, three or five pods down if needed?

Yes. There's three acres there. What we've noticed is three acres is plenty. Basically, if you look at our model, we're deploying five megawatts and it's really like looking at five school buses.

Speaker 4

Understood completely. Do you anticipate that your first technology, global technology customer for the GPU-as-a-service will end up taking the whole 10 megawatts?

Yes. There are two customers involved. Yes, absolutely. They're looking at five more sites at five megawatts with us right now. We've researched and found five sites with the power there, but we're going to get this one installed and the one in Iowa installed first, and then we'll report on how quickly we did it and how the revenue looks. The demand — I mean, I came back from GTC, and there were 21 inquiries on five to 10 meg sites. The demand in this niche is unbelievable. So like I said, I'm not really worried about other people coming in. Our secret sauce is how we deploy quickly, how we find the power. We have a secret to that. And the other piece is the clean room. I don't see why you wouldn't go to a clean room if you're deploying $10 million to $12 million just in GPU in a pod. It doesn't cost them more, and it protects their equipment.

Speaker 4

Understood. By the way, do you anticipate that you'll be able to disclose who that first technology customer is in the near future?

I'm not sure. There's a very, very strict NDA right now. Once we prove ourselves to them, it might be an option. But put it this way, they're Tier 1, so we're good.

Speaker 4

I appreciate that. Let me squeeze one last one and I'll hop back. You mentioned that there was a $10 million backlog in the Tech Solutions business that you expect to record as revenue for this year. Is that typical for this business where the booking of the contract could take several quarters to actually run through the revenue line?

Yes, exactly. Let me give you an example. We sell a lot of cabinets, PDUs, fiber connectors — those are 60 to 90 days max. We booked that and we ship it out quickly. But UPSs and other switchgear can be six to nine months out. So we had a big booking towards the end of the year, but it took three months for us to bill it. Many of the bigger products take longer. But everything that we're booking that's in the funnel and that you see us report this quarter and next quarter — the majority of it is not exactly off the shelf, but it's items like UPS, PDUs, cabinets, cold aisle containment, that kind of stuff. There's a lot of it, and most of it will recognize as revenue this year.

Operator

Our next question comes from the line of Nico Sacchetti with RBC.

Speaker 5

Maybe I'll piggyback on Dan's last question here. So not only is that $10 million of the distribution business actually going to recognize revenue, is $10 million like a quarter a typical run rate for that business? Is that quite a huge quarter? Is that low? Obviously, not looking for definitive guidance, just trying to get an idea of what you're expecting or what that capability looks like in a normalized situation.

Yes. We're new to the business, but what we're seeing is when we can recognize it and how stable it is. The funnel is over $150 million depending on what the product is.

Speaker 5

Sorry, just to clarify, you said the funnel like annual capacity. Is that like your high-end number that you could do in the year?

Yes, that number is from two sales reps that we hired; that's their funnel for this year — and that's only from three months of doing business. I mean, look, the data center industry buys $1.6 billion worth of product. So that's normal in this industry.

Speaker 5

So it would be fair to say if there was any kind of negative perception around the loss of that $20 million two-year AMA, the opportunity is substantially higher. You mentioned replacing that revenue, but it sounds like this could be a multiple of that in a normalized situation.

That's exactly right. That's why we brought it on. And Nico, just real quick about that division. Remember, the main reason we brought that division on is in the marketplace right now, everybody knows to build a megawatt it's anywhere from $10 million to $13 million. What they're looking at us for is that I can build a megawatt for $6.5 million. How do we do that? It's because the infrastructure group has direct relationships to the manufacturer now. So I'm not buying through a Wesco or a Graybar. So 20% to 30% comes off the line because I buy direct.

Speaker 5

So you are offering something that can be set up substantially quicker than a traditional football-field-size data center and at a lower cost is what it sounds like?

That's right.

Speaker 5

Any thought of moving away from the low-cost angle and going more to a better margin profile?

Right. But we can deploy quicker. Remember that. So the CapEx isn't as intense. You're deploying five megawatts at $25 million versus a much larger buildout. So it's a big difference. The model — and I'm pretty sure we shared this — on the GPU model there is a big difference. Prime example: our pod model at 15 cabinets is $350,000 to $400,000 a year. If you compare it to the GPU model, one megawatt is about $1 million a year. At 4.8 megawatts, you're now at almost $1 million a month. So why not build the pod bigger and take customers that need that power? In the factory, we just put bigger panels in.

Speaker 5

So when you say the same model, you've talked about the original standard version of this going into Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets or rural areas where there isn't a big data center presence. Are the anchor tenants still schools, hospitals and local government in those locations, or is that changing with the higher-power pods?

Yes, that's exactly right. Our core customers are our anchor customers — education, health care and then enterprise in that market. Carriers come in to take space so they can peer and cross-connect to each other. That's the original model. We're sticking with that model. We're just adding more capacity to bring in customers that need higher density. We're always servicing that market. That's what helps us get into those Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets, especially with permitting and everything, because we're low on the radar. We're not 10, 20, 30 or 40 megawatt builds that require major community infrastructure. We're going after power that's already there that's in excess that the utility wants to monetize. In return, it helps the local community as well through tax dollars, so they're actually welcoming us.

Operator

Our next question comes from the line of Carl Wiese with Grow Funds.

Speaker 6

Yes. I was wondering if you can talk about, at scale as you go into the second half, what the model looks like from a gross margin perspective? And then with all of the selling of the Rail business and winding down the management contract, what kind of OpEx should we expect on a go-forward basis?

I'll talk real quick about the rail. The Rail business — we're hoping to offload or decommission that and offload it in the next 60 days. That's the goal. So there's no burn on that business for us right now. Hopefully we'll exit that, which frees up a lot of SG&A. We will obviously not carry that load of employees and other expense. So that's a good thing and should happen in the next 60 days. I'll turn it over to Leah on the numbers.

Sure, Carl. You should expect to see gross margin improve in the second half of the year. Just a reminder with the revenue recognition for some of our business lines, you are going to see that revenue recognized in the second half of the year. We're looking at gross margin around 76% for those higher-margin lines. So you'll see revenue picking up in Q3 and Q4, and gross margin increasing accordingly.

Speaker 6

Gross margin — well, the data centers themselves are what, 70 to 80 type gross margins?

Yes, exactly. So we should see around that range. When we report Q1 and then as the year progresses, you'll be able to see that revenue pick up in Q3 and Q4.

Speaker 6

And OpEx should actually be coming down at the same time?

Yes. How long do I think this demand environment will last? I think the high demand we're seeing now — like when I go to GTC and there are many people trying to talk to me and sign contracts — I think that will be strong for the next three to four years. The main data centers that are out there will look to us as a hub-and-spoke because they want to capture those markets that we're in — like Dumas, Corpus Christi, Lubbock — these Tier 3 markets need compute out there. Mobile operators need compute out at the edge as well. As we move to future generations of mobile networks, they will need compute out at the 'eyeballs.' All that data will require fiber and network back to core facilities. The best way for larger providers to capture that traffic is to own the edge assets. So I think the growth will be very strong, especially in the 3 to 10 megawatt range. Right now I did an exercise for another client: they needed two megawatts of power, and it's very hard to find two megawatts in a single legacy data center. The market is looking past the need for 10 to 15 megawatt campuses and focusing more on distributed megawatt-class deployments. So we have a long haul, but we do have to build quickly.

Operator

Our next question comes from the line of Tom Leonard with RiverBay Investments.

Speaker 7

You provided a lot of color on the GPU-as-a-service, the economics, the revenue. I'm trying to think about the revenue exit run rate this year. Could you put a little more color on the high-density EDC: how many total megawatts and what's the revenue value per megawatt for that high-density colocation customer versus leasing and GPUs that you purchased?

Sure. The goal for this year is to deploy 25 megawatts. That can be through many 300 kW pods that we deploy. Right now, we have 15 of them on the ground at 300 kW. But the total megawatt number is what people focus on. The plan is 25 megawatts. For the GPU model, for every megawatt we're looking at roughly $2 million a year in revenue. That's consistent with industry metrics and what we're building to, so it's a very strong model to house GPU for customers.

Operator

Thank you. And with that, that concludes today's question-and-answer session. I'd like to pass the call back over to Doug for any closing remarks.

Well, I'd like to thank everybody for joining today, and we look forward to speaking with you in our Q1 earnings. Thank you so much for your time.
