Vancouver, B.C., Canada – February 27, 2020 – Legend Power® Systems Inc. (TSX.V: LPS) (“Legend Power” or the “Company”), a global leader in onsite energy management technology, today reported its Q1 fiscal 2020 financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2019. A conference call to discuss the results is set for 10:00am EST today (dial-in details below). A complete set of Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion & Analysis has been filed at www.sedar.com. All dollar figures are quoted in Canadian dollars. Financial Highlights for the three months ending December 31, 2019
Management Commentary Financial summary for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
1 Gross margin is based on a blend of both equipment and installation revenue Revenue for the first quarter of 2020 was $1,003,329, a 149% increase from $403,400 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase is primarily due to a large number of installations reaching substantial completion during the three months ended December 31, 2019 and a comparatively low amount of revenue recognized in the same period of the prior year. Gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was 21%, down from 81% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company’s long-term average gross margin has been approximately 45%. The significantly lower gross margins experienced in the first quarter of 2020 were due primarily to two projects completed for an early adopter, marquee, New York City customer. Early projects in new regions typically involve higher overall install costs, in particular electrical contractor costs due to a significant learning curve in understanding the nuances of installing a new and unfamiliar technology. The lower margin is also due to a disproportionate amount of total revenue derived from installation services (89%), which has historically yielded lower gross margins. The gross margin achieved in Q1 of fiscal 2019 was significantly above the Company’s long-term average due to an inventory valuation adjustment which impacted cost of goods sold during the period. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased by 26% to negative $1,325,161 from negative $1,048,352 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease in EBITDA is due primarily to lower gross margin and higher operating costs incurred during Q1 of fiscal 2020. Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $1,482,198, an increase of 36% from the $1,091,332 loss reported in the first quarter of 2019. In spite of significantly higher revenue in Q1 of fiscal 2020, the combination of lower gross margin, higher operating costs and an inventory write-down caused the increase in net loss compared with the same quarter in fiscal 2019. The Company’s operating expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 were $1,620,431, up from $1,484,433 in the same period of 2019. The increase of $135,998 is due primarily to higher salaries and consulting fees, professional fees and foreign exchange loss offset by lower general and overhead and selling costs.

(TSX.V: LPS) (“Legend Power” or the “Company”), a global leader in onsite energy management technology, today announced $527,521 of sales within Ontario’s Education sector. Five SmartGATE units have been purchased by three different Ontario school boards. One buyer is a repeat purchaser making its first follow-on order having previously purchased one unit as a test and validating the value proposition of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency and lowering energy costs. One of the five SmartGATE’s was purchased by a prominent Ontario university, another vertical which values the breadth of efficiency and sustainability benefits that can be delivered by a SmartGATE implementation. “With 74% of all SmartGATE’s being multiple-unit purchases (up to 18) by specific customers, we continue to see proven pilots and initial deployments lead to follow-on orders”, said Legend’s CEO Randy Buchamer. “With the recent announcement of SmartGATE Insights, our data analytics and metering solution (which analyzes and reports on 132 parameters), interest is only increasing as the world moves toward smarter energy decisions. The combination of SmartGATE Insights analytics and the SmartGATE platform (which literally “reshapes” electricity coming into a building to what its managers need), reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, which is a focus across cities and countries around the world. This capability is especially important in our New York market where the government claims buildings are the cause of 71%1 of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions.” About SmartGATE Insights and The SmartGATE Platform About Legend Power® Systems Inc. 1 https://council.nyc.gov/data/green/ For further information, please contact: Steve Vanry, CFO Sean Peasgood, Investor Relations Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
