Proposed US$1.49 million project combines solar generation with 2 MWh of battery storage under a planned 50/50 ownership structure

Palmerston North, New Zealand, Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SunScout Holding Limited (NYSE American/NYSE Texas: SNSC) (“SunScout” or the “Company”), a clean-technology company developing and commercializing autonomous, solar-powered robotic mowers and related solar energy solutions, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, SunScout New Zealand Limited (“SunScout New Zealand”), has secured agreement with the landowners to advance the development of a solar generation and battery storage project at Te Akau, New Zealand (the “Te Akau Project”).

The Te Akau Project is planned to comprise approximately 1.5 megawatts peak (MWp) of ground-mounted solar generation using single-axis trackers, together with a 2 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery energy storage system. The indicative total project cost is NZ$2.64 million (approximately US$1.49 million), including solar generation equipment, battery storage, grid connection and development costs.

The agreed structure provides for a dedicated project company to be owned equally by SunScout New Zealand and the landowners. SunScout New Zealand will lead engineering, procurement and construction, arrange project financing and electricity sales, and undertake or procure ongoing operations and maintenance. The landowners will provide long-term access to the project site and take responsibility for obtaining resource consent, supported by SunScout’s technical team.

“This agreement gives us a clear commercial framework to move the Te Akau Project into its next stage of development,” said David Bennett, General Manager of SunScout New Zealand. “It brings together our engineering and project delivery capabilities with a landowner participation model that aligns both parties around the project’s long-term performance. Combining solar generation with battery storage also gives us greater flexibility in structuring electricity sales and managing the timing of energy delivery.”

The proposed financing structure targets approximately 70% project debt, with the remaining 30% funded through an equity contribution from SunScout New Zealand. These amounts remain indicative and subject to final project costs and financing arrangements.

Under the agreed commercial framework, SunScout New Zealand will receive 60% of distributable project cash until its equity contribution has been recovered, after which distributions will be shared equally with the landowners, with the detailed mechanics to be set out in the definitive documentation.

Electricity sales may be structured through power purchase agreements with private customers, sales to electricity retailers, wholesale market sales, or a combination of these arrangements.

The parties intend to progress definitive project documentation while undertaking the necessary consenting, technical, grid-connection and financing work. The Term Sheet contemplates that the parties will use reasonable endeavours to execute definitive documentation within 90 days, and permits SunScout New Zealand to withdraw from the Te Akau Project before the end of the feasibility period if it determines that the project is not commercially viable. Development remains subject to satisfactory feasibility results, resource consent, acceptable grid-connection terms, financing and completion of definitive agreements. A construction timetable has not yet been established.

BALLERUP, Denmark, Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LiqTech International, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIQT) (“LiqTech” or the “Company”), a clean technology company specializing in advanced filtration technologies, today announced an order from Shanghai Qiyao Environmental Technology Co. Ltd. for two water treatment units for intelligent control by exhaust recycling (iCER) marine engine applications. Delivery is scheduled for December 2026.

The order marks Shanghai QiYao Environmental Technology first purchase of LiqTech iCER water treatment systems and expands an existing relationship previously focused on marine scrubber water treatment. It follows LiqTech’s other recent marine orders since its JV in China established in November 2024, including scrubber water treatment units in May 2025, dual-fuel engine water treatment systems announced in November 2025, and four exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) water treatment systems announced in June 2026.

“This order is an important example of how we can expand established marine customer relationships into additional applications,” said Fei Chen, President and Chief Executive Officer of LiqTech. “Our investments in adapting our silicon carbide membrane technology for iCER and EGR systems are broadening our addressable market. We see opportunities to build a more diversified and repeatable marine business as customers adopt new engine technologies.”

In iCER applications, water is used to cool and clean exhaust gas before part of the gas is recirculated into the engine. Soot, oil, and other contaminants must be removed from the circulating water. LiqTech’s water treatment units use proprietary silicon carbide ceramic membranes to separate these contaminants and support water reuse and reliable system operation.

LiqTech’s silicon carbide membranes combine fine-particle filtration with chemical resistance, temperature tolerance, and mechanical durability suited to demanding marine environments. The Company’s experience from more than 170 marine scrubber installations provides an established foundation as it extends its offering to iCER and EGR applications.

LiqTech’s joint venture in China supports local engineering, sourcing, assembly, and service, while core silicon carbide membranes continue to be manufactured in Denmark. This operating model is intended to improve responsiveness to customers and shipyards in the region.

“Our local presence in China enables closer coordination with customers throughout specification, delivery, and service,” Chen added. “Combined with our filtration expertise, it supports our strategy to deepen existing relationships and pursue additional opportunities across scrubber, iCER, and EGR applications.”

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa, Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Heartland Express, Inc. (Nasdaq: HTLD) announced today financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Three months ended September 30, 2026:

• Operating Revenue of $179.5 million,
• Net Income of $1.0 million,
• Basic Earnings per Share of $0.01,
• Operating Ratio of 98.7% (a 500bp improvement to Q3 2025) and 97.6% Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Ratio⁽¹⁾,
• Purchased 183,371 shares of our common stock for $2.2 million,
• Payments of $35 million to reduce outstanding acquisition-related debt,
• Total Assets of $1.1 billion, including $48.5 million of Cash,
• Stockholders’ Equity of $754.1 million.

Nine months ended September 30, 2026:

• Operating Revenue of $539.9 million,
• Net Income of $6.7 million,
• Basic Earnings per Share of $0.09,
• Operating Ratio of 97.1% and 95.7% Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Ratio⁽¹⁾,
• Purchased 355,432 shares of our common stock for $4.6 million,
• Smith Transport debt and equipment leases eliminated,
• Payments of $59.9 million to reduce outstanding debt and finance lease obligations. Acquisition-related debt and finance lease obligations reduced from $494.1 million in 2022 to $99.9 million.

Heartland Express Chief Executive Officer Mike Gerdin commented on the quarterly operating results and ongoing initiatives of the Company, “Our consolidated operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2026, reflect significant operating ratio improvement (98.7%) as compared to the third quarter of 2025 (103.7%). The improved financial results reflect stronger freight volumes and improved customer pricing resulting from ongoing industry capacity reductions, even though we do not expect the positive impacts of ongoing contract negotiations to be fully reflected in our operating results until 2027. During the third quarter of 2026, we continued to pay down acquisition-related debt and repurchase shares of our common stock. Our operating expenses were significantly impacted by rising fuel costs throughout the quarter, along with inflationary impacts to maintenance, repairs, and other employee-related costs. We expect to rely on our positive cash flows from operations to invest in our fleet of tractors and trailers over the remainder of the year. This allows us to continue our commitment to our professional drivers and our customers, to provide the latest and most efficient equipment throughout our operating fleet for their benefit.”

Financial Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company delivered operating revenues of $179.5 million, compared to $196.5 million in the same period of 2025. Operating revenues for the quarter included fuel surcharge revenues of $32.7 million, compared to $24.1 million in the same period of 2025. Net income was $1.0 million, as compared to a net loss of ($8.3) million in the third quarter of 2025. Basic earnings per share was $0.01 during the quarter, as compared to basic loss per share of $(0.11) in the same period of 2025. The Company posted an operating ratio of 98.7%, non-GAAP adjusted operating ratio⁽¹⁾ of 97.6%, and net income as a percentage of operating revenues of 0.5% in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 103.7%, 103.5%, and (4.2)% (net loss as a percentage of operating revenues) respectively, in the third quarter of 2025.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company delivered operating revenues of $539.9 million, compared to $626.4 million in the same period of 2025. Operating revenues for the period included fuel surcharge revenues of $86.9 million, compared to $75.0 million in the same period of 2025. Operating income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 was $15.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $(34.6) million in the same period of the prior year, an improvement of $50.2 million.

Basic earnings per share was $0.09 during the nine-month period as compared to $(0.42) basic loss per share during the same period of 2025. The Company posted an operating ratio of 97.1%, non-GAAP adjusted operating ratio⁽¹⁾ of 95.7%, and net income as a percentage of operating revenues of 1.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 105.5%, 105.6%, and (5.3)% (net loss as a percentage of operating revenues) respectively, in the same period of the prior year.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Capital Expenditures

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $48.5 million in cash balances, an increase of $30.0 million since December 31, 2025. Debt of $99.9 million remains at September 30, 2026, down from total combined debt and finance lease obligations of $494.1 million related to the Smith Transport and Contract Freighters, Inc. acquisitions in 2022. These reductions occurred during very challenging truckload operating conditions during the same period. The acquisition-related debt and finance lease obligations of Smith Transport were fully retired in the first three months of 2026. There were no borrowings under the Company’s unsecured line of credit at September 30, 2026. The Company had $88.8 million in available borrowing capacity on the line of credit as of September 30, 2026 after consideration of $11.2 million of outstanding letters of credit. The Company continues to be in compliance with associated financial covenants. The Company ended the quarter with total assets of $1.1 billion and stockholders’ equity of $754.1 million.

Net cash flows from operations for the first nine months of 2026 were $55.1 million or 10.2% of operating revenue. The primary uses of cash for financing activities were $59.9 million used for repayment of debt and financing leases along with $4.6 million for dividends paid and $4.6 million for repurchases of common stock. Cash provided by investing activities included $44.7 million from net property and equipment transactions.

The average age of the Company’s consolidated tractor fleet was 2.3 years as of September 30, 2026 compared to 2.6 years as of September 30, 2025. The average age of the Company’s consolidated trailer fleet was 7.1 years as of September 30, 2026 compared to 7.5 years as of September 30, 2025. We expect to continue to dispose of excess trailers within our fleet as used equipment market conditions improve. For the remainder of 2026, we currently expect total net capital expenditures to be approximately $2 to $5 million and $9 to $13 million of total gains on disposal of property and equipment.

The Company continues its commitment to stockholders through the payment of cash dividends. Our regular dividend of $0.02 per share was declared during the third quarter of 2026 and paid on October 7, 2026. The Company has now paid cumulative cash dividends of $566.1 million, including four special dividends, ($2.00 in 2007, $1.00 in 2010, $1.00 in 2012, and $0.50 in 2021) over the past ninety-three consecutive quarters since 2003. Our outstanding shares at September 30, 2026 were 77.2 million. A total of 2.2 million shares of common stock have been repurchased for $22.9 million over the past five years. The Company has the ability to repurchase an additional 4.5 million shares under the current authorization which would result in 72.7 million outstanding shares if fully executed.

Other Information

During the third quarter of 2026, our family of operating brands continued to deliver award-winning service as Heartland Express was recognized with the FedEx Yearly Performer award for outstanding performance and received Logistics Management Magazine’s 2026 Quest for Quality Award within the Expedited Motor Carriers classification.

(a) Operating revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue, as reported in this press release is based upon operating revenue minus fuel surcharge revenue. Adjusted operating income (loss) as reported in this press release is based upon operating revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue, less operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge revenue, and non-cash amortization expense related to intangible assets. Adjusted operating ratio as reported in this press release is based upon operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge revenue, and amortization of intangibles, as a percentage of operating revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue. We believe that operating revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue, adjusted operating income (loss), and adjusted operating ratio are more representative of our underlying operations by excluding the volatility of fuel prices, which we cannot control. Operating revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue, adjusted operating income (loss), and adjusted operating ratio are not substitutes for operating revenue, operating income (loss), or operating ratio measured in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. Although we believe that operating revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue, adjusted operating income (loss), and adjusted operating ratio improve comparability in analyzing our period-to-period performance, they could limit comparability to other companies in our industry if those companies define such measures differently. Because of these limitations, operating revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue, adjusted operating income (loss), and adjusted operating ratio should not be considered measures of income generated by our business or discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis.

The oral presentation will share results from a 12-week comparative study showing that Omada GLP-1 Care Track members, on average, lost more weight and saw greater improvements in body composition than controls

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Omada Health (Nasdaq: OMDA), the virtual between-visit healthcare provider, announced it will present research at the World Obesity and Weight Management Congress (WOC 2026) in Boston showing that members of its GLP-1 Care Track lost more weight and experienced greater improvements in body composition than GLP-1 users receiving usual care. The findings were recently published in the peer-reviewed journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism.¹

GLP-1 medications can produce rapid weight loss,² but lean mass can account for 30% or more of the weight lost.^3,4 Lean mass is critical for overall health, as losing lean mass may contribute to reductions in resting metabolic rate⁵, impaired physical function and greater susceptibility to weight regain,⁶ as well as an increased risk for sarcopenia,⁷ frailty, and bone loss.^6,8 While exercise and resistance training are known to be effective strategies for increasing fat loss while protecting lean mass,¹ much less is known about whether virtual care programs can improve body composition outcomes for people taking GLP-1 medications.

The study followed 245 adults with obesity who had started a GLP-1 for weight loss within the previous eight weeks.¹ Of those, 151 participated in Omada’s GLP-1 Care Track and 94 received usual care, which could include medication alone or other, non-Omada lifestyle programs. More than a quarter (26%) of the usual care group reported using another lifestyle or wellness program during the study.¹

After 12 weeks, compared with the usual care group, Omada members on average:¹

• Lost more weight (6.0% of starting body weight vs. 3.3%)
• Reduced their body fat percentage by about twice as much (−3.3% vs. −1.6%)
• Saw a larger increase in muscle mass percentage (+0.6% vs. +0.2%)
• Reported greater improvements in well-being, physical functioning, and confidence in their ability to lose weight
• Saw depression and anxiety symptoms drop by roughly 30%, significantly more than the usual care group

The GLP-1 Care Track provides clinical support between doctor visits. Members work with a care team that includes a dedicated health coach, GLP-1-specific peer support groups, digital tools for meal logging and behavior tracking, and AI-powered nutrition support.¹ The program also includes access to an exercise specialist who provides a personalized exercise plan developed by a physical therapist. Participants measured body composition at home using bioelectrical impedance scales.

“GLP-1 care is about more than how much weight you lose. It’s about the quality of the weight loss, as losing too much muscle can make it harder to keep the weight off long-term,” said Thomas Tsang, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer at Omada Health. “Too many people are left to manage side effects, exercise, and nutrition on their own once GLP-1 treatment starts. This study suggests that clinical support between doctor visits can help people achieve greater weight loss and better body composition, and protect their muscle mass.”

This study was completed as part of the Omada Insights Lab ANSWERS (ANalyzing Success of WEight medication with Real-world evidence and Stats) Initiative, which examines and shares real-world data from Omada’s behavior change weight health programs.

Omada Health’s Clinical Research Scientist, Lisa A. Stanton, PhD, will present “Improving GLP-1 Weight Loss Quality with a Virtual Lifestyle Companion Program” on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 3:20 PM ET during the Anti-Obesity Drugs & Emerging Therapies session at WOC 2026, held October 19-21.

Omada Health
Omada Health (Nasdaq: OMDA) is reverse engineering the way healthcare is delivered in America, putting the space between doctor visits–where health is won or lost–at the center of care. Today’s healthcare system poorly serves chronic conditions that require ongoing support outside of the exam room, like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, and musculoskeletal conditions. Omada’s virtual-first model combines human-led care teams, connected devices, and AI-enabled technology to deliver personalized care at scale, including support for GLP-1 therapy. Omada has served more than two million members since launch across 2,000+ employers, health plans, pharmacy benefit managers, and health systems. Learn more at omadahealth.com.

Designed to outperform rewards programs from traditional banks to fintech; enabling consumers to live their entire financial life in bitcoin via Fold

Introduces category-redefining Bill Pay, enabling Fold Reserve members to receive rewards on payment of everyday bills including rent, mortgages, utilities, and school tuition

Fold Reserve enables consumers to use one balance to unlock better rates across everything Fold offers: credit card, debit card, bill pay, bitcoin exchange and gift cards

PHOENIX, Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fold Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLD) (“Fold” or the “Company”), a bitcoin financial services company making it easy for individuals to earn, save and spend bitcoin through everyday financial tools, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking rewards program Fold Reserve^**.

A novel rewards program built around a consumer’s financial life, Fold Reserve offers the best rewards currently on the market. Fold Reserve members receive:

• Credit card rewards: up to 5%^* back in bitcoin or up to 3% on debit card.
• Bill pay rewards: up to 3% back in bitcoin, bill payment includes: rent, mortgage, utilities, and other recurring bills
• No trading fee and no added Fold spread on bitcoin buys and sells
• Bitcoin rewards on every gift card purchase at 100s of merchants
• Free bitcoin withdrawals

“For rewards maximizers who want more from their entire financial life, Fold Reserve is the only rewards program that earns on every category that matters: spending, bills, gifts, and more,” says Fold CEO Will Reeves. “No other rewards program earns you rewards on your bills and life’s biggest expenses. Unlike traditional bank programs that require six figure minimums for modest returns, fintech subscriptions that lock you into one asset class, or crypto staking programs that put your capital at risk, Fold Reserve delivers best in class reward rates across your entire financial life.”

Fund your reserve, earn more on everything.

Fold Reserve is available for a balance as low as $5,000. A balance of $100,000 or more unlocks maximum benefits. One balance unlocks rates across the entire Fold platform. The Fold Reserve tiers are as follows:

Reserve balance		Credit card rewards		Debit card rewards		Bill pay rewards		Bitcoin trading and withdrawal fees
$	5,000	1.50%		0.25%		0.25%		0%
$	15,000	1.75%		0.50%		0.50%		0%
$	25,000	2.00%		1.00%		1.00%		0%
$	50,000	3.00%		1.50%		1.50%		0%
$	75,000	4.00%		2.00%		2.00%		0%
$	100,000	5.00%		3.00%		3.00%		0%

For Fold, Fold Reserve continues the company’s mission of enabling consumers to live their entire financial life via a non-bank financial institution which works for them rather than the other way around. Fold Reserve also transforms how Fold works with customers, giving the company more financial flexibility and a closer relationship with the people who use it.

“Fold was born out of a belief that financial services must serve the consumer first and foremost, and Fold Reserve is a culmination of that vision. By offering customers a complete suite of financial products that maximize rewards benefits, we are also empowering Fold to become a much more complete financial institution with greater capacity for growth,” says Fold Chief Financial Officer Wolfe Repass.

Fold introduces bill pay rewards

Consumers will also now be able to earn rewards when they pay their eligible bills by ACH through Fold Reserve, unlocking an additional category of rewards all tied to the entirety of a person’s financial life.

Mr. Reeves added: “The largest expenses in most households earn no rewards at all. Rent. Utilities. Mortgage. Recurring bills. They are predictable, unavoidable, and until now, completely unrewarded. Fold Reserve is a rewards program built around your entire financial life: spending, bills, gifts, bitcoin. Every category earns.”

Instant buys and no trading fees

Fold Reserve members of every tier have access to instant buys with no trading fee and no added Fold spread. Fold Reserve members can buy and sell bitcoin on demand.

Instant buy, zero commission, and zero withdrawal fee makes Fold the most attractive bitcoin trading platform in the market today. These benefits are available exclusively to Fold Reserve members. “Fold is now the best place to buy, sell, and hold bitcoin,” says Reeves. “We are really excited to be able to offer such an attractive perk to our clients.”

The new Fold Reserve will be available to consumers as of October 13. Its launch coincides with Fold making the Fold credit card available to all eligible consumers. No more wait list. Top-tier Fold Reward members are eligible for 5% back on credit card spending, paid in bitcoin. The best rate on the market.

Together with Fold’s existing spending, bill pay, and bitcoin products, Fold Reserve brings everyday money into one app and rewards it in bitcoin. It moves Fold closer to its goal of becoming the most rewarding place for consumers to manage their money.

Fold (NASDAQ: FLD) is the first publicly traded bitcoin financial services company, making it easy for individuals and businesses to earn, save, and use bitcoin. Fold is at the forefront of integrating bitcoin into everyday financial experiences.

*The 5% rate requires the Fold Bitcoin Credit Card and a $100,000 Fold Reserve balance, and applies to your first $5,000 in eligible purchases each month. 1.5% back in bitcoin on eligible purchases, with no cap. Rewards are earned on your eligible spend, not on your balance. Holding a Fold Reserve balance can boost your rate on your first $5,000 in eligible purchases each calendar month. Eligible purchases above that amount, and all eligible purchases if you do not hold a qualifying Reserve balance, earn the 1.5% base rate. Credit card and debit card rewards cannot be earned at the same time. Rates are subject to change. See the Cardholder Agreement and our Terms and Conditions.

^**Fold Reserve is closed-loop stored value issued by Fold, Inc. and redeemable only for Fold products and services. It is not a bank account, deposit account, or savings account, is not redeemable for cash, and is not insured by the FDIC or SIPC. Your Reserve balance earns nothing on its own. See the Fold Terms and Conditions. Rewards are earned on your eligible spend, not on your balance. The Fold Bitcoin Credit Card earns a 1.50% base rate on all eligible purchases with no cap and no Reserve balance required. The Fold Prepaid Debit Card (issued by Sutton Bank) earns a 0.25% base rate on all eligible purchases with no cap and no Reserve balance required. A Reserve balance of $5,000 or more is required to earn on eligible ACH bill pay, which earns 0.25%. Your rate increases above these base rates as your Reserve balance grows, starting at $15,000. Any amount above the base rate applies only to the first $5,000 of eligible spend each calendar month, counted separately for card spend and for bill pay. Card spend above that cap earns the base rate and bill pay earns nothing above it. Maximum rates at a $100,000 Reserve balance are 5.00% on the Fold Bitcoin Credit Card, 3.00% on the Fold Prepaid Debit Card, and 3.00% on bill pay. You earn a boost on only one card: if you hold the Fold Bitcoin Credit Card, the boost applies to that card and your debit card earns the base rate. Bill pay is unaffected by which card you hold. Rates are subject to change. See the Fold Terms and Conditions for details and tier requirements.
Fold Reserve member benefits require a Reserve balance of $5,000 or more and are subject to change. Fold charges no trading fee and adds no spread of its own on bitcoin buys and sells. A market spread charged by Fold’s execution partner is included in the price you see and may vary. Fold charges no bitcoin withdrawal fee and pays the bitcoin network fee on your on-chain withdrawals, up to any limits shown in the Fold App. Reserve members also pay no ATM withdrawal fee and no international transaction fee on the Fold Prepaid Debit Card, issued by Sutton Bank. Fold Reserve member rates on gift cards vary by brand and are shown in the Fold App. See the Fold Reserve Member Benefits section of the Fold Terms and Conditions for details.

Five additional trucks have each exceeded 45 consecutive days or longer of ongoing operation

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kodiak AI, Inc., (Kodiak”) (Nasdaq: KDK), a leading provider of Physical AI-powered autonomous driving technology, today announced that an unsupervised driverless truck equipped with the Kodiak Driver, the company’s autonomous driving system, achieved a record 64 consecutive days of continuous uptime, never powering off or re-starting.

Both the autonomy stack and truck were running and available for service in the company’s industrial deployment in the Permian Basin in a streak that began June 30 and ended Sept 1, 2026.

Five additional Kodiak Driver-equipped trucks have each surpassed 45 consecutive days of continuous uptime, further demonstrating the engineering reliability and durability of Kodiak’s Physical AI technology as the company continues to scale its autonomous driving deployment and prepares for its driverless highway launch by the end of 2026.

“Uptime is a critical measure of reliability and operational performance for our customers,” said Don Burnette, Founder and CEO, Kodiak. “These milestones reflect the dedication of our team and the dependability of the Kodiak Driver, underscoring the importance of consistent performance as we scale our commercial operations.”

As of June 30, 2026, these trucks were part of a fleet of 35 driverless trucks owned and operated by Atlas Energy Solutions in the Permian Basin, representing the largest fleet of its kind in the world. At that time, the fleet had surpassed 40,000 cumulative hours of paid driverless operation.

“Maintaining sustained uptime for more than two months demonstrates the reliability and operational performance of the Kodiak Driver in our driver-as-a-service model,” said Don Lepard, Vice President of Operations at Kodiak. “These milestones reinforce the dependability of our technology and the strength of our operational execution as we prepare to scale both our industrial and long-haul trucking commercial deployments.”

The trucks are equipped with Kodiak’s sixth-generation (Gen6) autonomous platform, engineered for maintainability and uptime. Building on this foundation, Kodiak unveiled its seventh-generation (Gen7) system earlier this summer, designed to deliver further improvements in efficiency, reliability and serviceability, along with nearly 50% longer operational lifetimes.

Kodiak has committed to growing the Atlas fleet in the Permian to 100 trucks by mid-2027.

Separately, Kodiak is making final preparations for its planned driverless highway launch on Interstate 45 between Dallas and Houston by the end 2026.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements including regarding Kodiak’s or its management teams’ expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: Kodiak’s expectations regarding the timing of launching driverless trucks for long-haul highways operations; Kodiak’s expectations regarding the timing of completion of work on its highway launch safety case; Kodiak’s expectations regarding the benefits of Kodiak’s Gen7 platform; Kodiak’s ability to produce and deploy the Kodiak Driver at scale; Kodiak’s expectations regarding the expansion of the Atlas fleet in the Permian; expectations regarding the benefits and performance of Kodiak’s technology; and Kodiak’s expectations with respect to its future performance and success. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of Kodiak’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied upon by any investors as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Kodiak. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the rapid evolution of autonomous vehicle technology and flaws or errors in Kodiak’s solutions or flaws in or misuse of autonomous vehicle technology in general; risks related to the rollout of Kodiak’s business and the timing of expected business milestones; the effects of competition on Kodiak’s business; supply shortages in the materials necessary for the production of the Kodiak Driver; risks related to working with third-party manufacturers for key components of the Kodiak Driver; risks related to the retrofitting of Kodiak’s vehicles by third parties; the termination or suspension of any of Kodiak’s contracts or the reduction in counterparty spending; delays in Kodiak’s operational roadmap with key partners and customers; and Kodiak’s ability to raise capital in the near term and long term. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact such forward-looking statements can be found in filings and potential filings by Kodiak with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the heading “Risk Factors.” If any of these risks materialize or any assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Kodiak does not presently know, or that Kodiak currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Kodiak’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date they are made. Kodiak anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Kodiak’s assessments to change. However, while Kodiak may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Kodiak specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Kodiak’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date they are made.
