Exhibit 99.1
iPower Opens New AI Era with Five-Year Services LOI
Targeting $21.90 Million in Potential Annualized Services
Customer expansion plan contemplates growth from 48 to 396 AI computing units during 2027
Oct 15, 2026 — iPower Inc. (Nasdaq: IPW) (“iPower” or the “Company”) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, iPower AI LLC, has received a customer-signed, non-binding letter of intent for a five-year AI equipment services and management relationship. The proposed engagement marks a step forward in iPower’s transformation into an AI infrastructure and services company.
The customer has identified an initial fleet of 48 AI computing equipment units and expects to expand to approximately 396 units in total during 2027. At the proposed fee of $4,608 per unit per month, assuming the full build out, the target fleet would represent up to approximately $1.82 million in monthly service fees, or up to $21.90 million on an annualized basis for five years. The initial 48 units would represent approximately $2.65 million in annualized fees, or $13.27 million if all 48 remain billable for the full 60-month cooperation period.
“This is the opening of a new era for iPower,” said Lawrence Tan, Chief Executive Officer. “We are not simply adding AI to our existing business. We are working to make AI infrastructure and services a central driver of what iPower becomes. This proposed relationship puts a concrete operating model behind that direction: managing computing infrastructure for customers and building recurring service revenue as their deployments grow.”
iPower AI LLC would provide or coordinate equipment operations, monitoring, maintenance, technical support and data center coordination. The relationship is intended to support a scalable services business whose growth is not limited to equipment iPower owns.
The LOI’s commercial terms are non-binding and subject to a definitive services agreement between iPower AI LLC and the customer. Fee illustrations assume the stated units remain billable at the proposed rate throughout the illustrated period; they are not committed revenue, backlog, profit or 2027 revenue guidance. Actual fees would depend on deployment timing and final terms.
