About Innio

We are a leading global distributed energy solutions provider that delivers reliable, flexible, transient, decentralized, modular and efficient power. Our reciprocating gas engines convert gaseous fuels, such as natural, renewable and specialty gases, into electricity and heat or compression for a wide array of critical infrastructure, including the grid, data centers and industrial applications. Our solution portfolio is fully focused on gaseous fuels rather than diesel-based solutions. With an installed base of approximately 44 GW and 3.4 GW of power delivered as of December 31, 2025, compared to an installed base of 42 GW and 2.5 GW of power delivered as of December 31, 2024, our technology platforms have proven themselves for decades in a variety of demanding applications and environments. We operate through two primary segments: Equipment and Services. Our Equipment segment addresses the data center, power solutions and compression end-markets through our modular, flexible and highly efficient engine-based solutions, providing high quality power characteristics for their applications. In our data center business line, our modular, high-efficiency systems are ideally positioned to deliver the prime and backup power required to sustain intensive artificial intelligence (“AI”) workloads. By minimizing the complex auxiliary subsystems often required by alternative power sources, our technology offers a scalable, capital efficient behind-the-meter solution specifically optimized for rapid data center deployment. Our power solutions provide baseload and peaking power to stabilize utility grids (in-front-of-the-meter) and power independent microgrids (behind-the-meter). Our compression solutions support the full energy value chain, including gas lift, gathering, processing, storage and transmission, enabling efficient gaseous fuel transport. These solutions are mission critical and non-discretionary; our systems help our customers maintain operational continuity, generate electricity and produce oil and natural gas. As the backbone of resilient energy infrastructure, our equipment and services enable operators to mitigate grid capacity shortfalls and reduce reliance on unstable centralized power and intermittent renewables. Our sizable and growing installed base drives our Services segment, as our gas engine solutions require regular maintenance and replacement of parts to deliver reliable performance. The proprietary design of many critical components positions us to capture a substantial majority of the life cycle service and parts opportunity. Given the critical role our equipment plays in our customers’ operations, we have strong uptake of, and a steady demand for, our support and maintenance offerings. For customers seeking long-term certainty of maintenance costs, we offer multi-year service agreements, which can extend to ten years or more. We also offer upgrades and overhaul services, which substantially extend the life of our engines. Supported by an internal service team of over 1,600 specialists as of March 31, 2026, our Services segment generates highly predictable, recurring and high-margin revenue streams. This near-captive aftermarket business underpins a compounding business model characterized by a virtuous cycle of equipment placement, service attachment and long-term customer loyalty. The expected growth of our installed base and our aftermarket exposure provide significant Services revenue visibility extending well beyond 2030. The table below gives an overview of our two segments, Equipment and Services, Equipment Order Intake and our revenue, along with customer types and use cases.

We have strengthened our North American footprint, including targeted investments in U.S. manufacturing and assembly capacity, to support growing demand for distributed and behind-the-meter power solutions and to improve proximity to key data center development regions. These facilities enable localized production and testing, shorter lead times and increased capacity and flexibility, supporting projects that need power quickly. We have global coverage across approximately 100 countries, as of March 31, 2026, through a robust commercial network that integrates direct sales, authorized distributors and channel partners, packagers and strategic key accounts. This extensive global reach, combined with our localized service capabilities, ideally positions us to effectively capture the growing demand for our energy solutions. Although the Jenbacher and Waukesha brands possess a rich heritage established within major industrial conglomerates, our trajectory accelerated in 2018 when Advent International (“Advent”) carved out the businesses from General Electric Company (“GE”) to form INNIO as a standalone entity. In 2023, we further strengthened our capital base when Luxinva S.A. (“Luxinva”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (“ADIA”), acquired a significant minority stake. Our Principal Shareholder is co-owned by funds managed by Advent and ADIA. Following our separation from GE, we have delivered record performance by enhancing our operational agility, digital capabilities and technological leadership. We have specifically focused on high-growth opportunities through substantial investments in our U.S. manufacturing infrastructure, targeted research and development (“R&D”), containerized solutions and service distribution network. With approximately 5,200 full-time equivalents (“FTEs”) as of March 31, 2026, our team is united by a vision to deliver the mission-critical power required for the economy’s vital operations. Our principal executive offices are located in Munich, Federal Republic of Germany.
