Executive Summary

Legend Power Systems released preliminary findings from an independent, government-funded evaluation of its SmartGATE™ system at a federal facility.
The interim data shows SmartGATE reduced operating voltage to within 1–2 volts of equipment nameplate, down from a baseline 32–35 volts above nameplate.
Modeled thermal stress on building systems decreased by approximately 14–16%.
Energy savings registered at ~2.6%, with average demand reductions of 2–4% and peak demand reductions approaching 25% during specific evaluation windows.
Facility personnel reported qualitative improvements including reduced lighting flicker, fewer breaker trips, and fewer VFD/HVAC resets.
The company emphasized that these findings expand the value proposition beyond pure energy savings toward broader infrastructure performance, reliability, and maintenance planning.
A final independent report is expected in October 2026. Preliminary findings are subject to review and refinement.

Material Impact

This is an operational and technical validation update, not a financial or commercial results release.
The findings directly support the company's previously announced U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Technology Proving Ground (TPG) program, which was highlighted in the Q2 FY2026 earnings release (May 22, 2026).
The data provides third-party validation of the Capital Infrastructure Risk Assessment (CIRA) framework and the company's pivot toward selling infrastructure reliability rather than just energy savings.
No new orders, contract values, or financial metrics were disclosed in this release. The impact is incremental and serves to de-risk the commercial narrative ahead of the final report.
Given the preliminary nature and the fact that the GSA program progress was already priced into the stock during the May earnings window, the market impact is expected to be muted.
