Organic revenue in data center and critical power grew approximately 71% year‑over‑year. Management reports a qualified pipeline exceeding $125 million and projects scheduled to launch in 2026 of ~$50–$60 million. Company expects data center & critical power to represent more than 20% of 2026 revenue.
