AI-first model connects revenue growth to operating

leverage — revenue up, opex scales more slowly as AI

adoption & implementation proliferates

IKE is deep in a utility vertical

workflow andis embedded in

utility engineering standards

AI is IKE’s accelerant – not its disruptor

AI widens IKE's moat — every new AI feature increases switching cost and pricing power

When IKE becomes a mandate

for every engineer in the utility –

competitors cannot replace

IKE has proprietary industry data,

including owning a 20M human-

engineered assets as a data set

General-purpose LLMs cannot replicate

IKE-specific AI and workflows, and our

U.S. utility customers are not going to

create theirown software.

AI-powered capability inside of

IKE's products has generated

higher pricing &more revenue

PolePilot enabled 10% increase

across the entire IKE Office Pro

subscription base – with no churn

95% of IKE’s market is still untapped

The investment scale

•US utility capex 2025–2030: $1.1T–$1.4T

•2025 capex alone: ~$194B | 5-year CAGR: 8.5%

•Morningstar DBRS: utility investment "super-cycle" —

steepest demand growth in decades

•US grid must scale from 20% → 50% of national

energy capacity by 2050

•US Serviceable Obtainable Market: US$431M across

current product suite

•Current US penetration: ~5%

•~95% of IKE's defined market remains untapped —

before Canada, international, or new product platforms

IKE is not adjacent to the grid investment

cycle. It is inside the workflow.

Joint use

Every 5G & fiber attachment requires

a structural load assessment. IKE

runs those assessments.

Grid Hardening

Wildfire, storm, and flood response

requires proactive pole condition

assessment at scale. IKE's AI layer is

purpose-built for this.

Digital Twin

Utilities building digital replicas of

their overhead network. IKE's field

data is the primary source feeding

those twins.

Market opportunity is

substantially uncaptured.

The largest revenue opportunity in

IKE’s history is still ahead.

Two new products in development

Purpose-build products demanded by our loyal

customers through customer-council

organizations.

Markets not yet addressed

Underground distribution market, Canada,

fiber/broadband/telecom. International (AUS, NZ,

AI has unleashed a wave of data centre construction.

In 2023, AI data centres consumed about 4.4% of U.S.

electricity, and that share could triple by 2028.

Microsoft and Google estimate that the U.S. will need

500,000 more electric engineers in the next decade.

Heatwaves, wildfires, and storms are stressing electrical

network systems nationwide. Events once considered rare

- like the 2003 Northeast blackout that hit 50 million people

- are now seen as precursors of larger & more

commondisruptions.

Multiple factors are driving infrastructure investments, and the

need for technology, in North America
