**Ideal Power Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results**

AUSTIN, TX – May 14, 2026 -- <u>Ideal Power Inc.</u> (Nasdaq: IPWR) ("Ideal Power," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our"), developer and provider of its innovative and widely patented B-TRAN® bidirectional semiconductor power switch, reports results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"We had a strong start to the year as we initiated two additional projects with our lead Asia customer, signed a letter of intent with an industry partner to co-develop a B-TRAN®-enabled prototype for evaluation by a U.S. hyperscaler supporting the new NVIDIA Rubin Ultra 800V DC AI data center power distribution architecture, advanced Stellantis deliverables on schedule, and engaged on new opportunities with several multinational customers," said David Somo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ideal Power. "The industry's transition toward next generation, high-voltage DC power architectures is real and in its early stages, creating what we believe will be a significant demand for advanced solid-state power solutions, and B-TRAN® is uniquely positioned to address these emerging opportunities. Our focus remains on converting our expanding sales funnel into production orders, revenue growth and long-term shareholder value creation."

**Key First Quarter and Recent Highlights**

Execution of our B-TRAN® commercial strategy continues, including:

● Advanced our lead Asia customer project for low current solid-state circuit breaker ("SSCB") prototype units expected to be available for 800V AI data center and energy grid customers in Q4 2026. In addition, initiated two new projects with this customer: one project for a medium current SSCB designed for 800V AI DC data centers and energy storage applications, and the second project for a low current SSCB in smart industrial buildings.

● Delivered initial next generation B-TRAN® custom-packaged samples and development kits for evaluation to Stellantis for EV applications. We are on track to complete the deliverables under our existing purchase order by mid-2026.

● Signed a letter of intent with an industry partner to co-develop a B-TRAN®-enabled intelligent SSCB prototype for evaluation by a U.S. hyperscaler in its development environment for the NVIDIA Rubin Ultra 800V DC AI data center power distribution system, with prototype delivery targeted for the end of Q4 2026.

● Engaged two new Asia-based global suppliers of power solutions for the potential development of B-TRAN®-enabled SSCBs for use in solid-state transformers ("SSTs") targeting 800V DC AI data centers, energy storage systems, EV charging, and energy grid.

------

● Engaged several multinational customers for the potential development of B-TRAN®-based SSCBs across 800V AI data centers, industrial building applications, and the renewable energy grid.

● B-TRAN® Patent Estate: Currently at 103 issued B-TRAN® patents with 50 of those issued outside of the United States. Current geographic coverage includes North America, China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, India, and Europe.

**First Quarter 2026 Financial Results**

● Cash used in operating and investing activities in the first quarter of 2026 was $2.3 million compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2025.

● Cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.4 million at March 31, 2026.

● No long-term debt was outstanding at March 31, 2026.

● Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were $3.7 million compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 driven primarily by higher stock-based compensation expense and personnel costs. Stock-based compensation expense increased in the first quarter of 2026 due to equity award modifications under the transition services agreement with our former CEO and inducement grants to our incoming CEO in the fourth quarter of 2025.

● Net loss in the first quarter of 2026 was $3.6 million compared to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2025.

**Strategic Priorities**

The Company has set the following strategic priorities:

● Continue adding new opportunities to the sales funnel.

● Drive initial revenue ramp by converting sales opportunities in the funnel to design-ins and custom development agreements.

● Secure production order(s) with our lead Asia customer for its first solid-state circuit breaker products and continue to expand solutions to address additional markets and applications.

● Complete remaining deliverables under the Stellantis purchase order and continue to advance opportunities for EV contactors and battery disconnect units with global automakers.

● Continue to explore strategic investment opportunities with global market leaders.
