JACKSONVILLE,

FL / Globe Newswire / May 18, 2026 - Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (“Duos” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DUOT), a provider of modular, colocation Edge and AI data centers and technology infrastructure solutions, reported financial results for the first quarter (“Q1 2026”) ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 and Recent Operational Highlights

•Completed a $65 million capital raise in March 2026, significantly strengthening the Company’s balance sheet and providing capital to fund GPU-as-a-Service (“GPUaaS”) business model and accelerate deployment of its Edge Data Center (“EDC”) platform

•Secured $176 million GPUaaS contract in March 2026 with Hydra Host to deploy a high-density NVIDIA B300 GPU cluster for a leading global technology company. The agreement covers a 36-month term, including an initial $15 million customer pre-payment, with approximately $26 million in revenues expected to be recognized in the second half of 2026 and approximately $135 million expected to be recorded over the balance of the contract period. The Company projected gross margins exceeding 80% and expected annual EBITDA of approximately $40 million. The partnership will be fully funded through the Company's existing cash from the previously noted capital raise, and hardware financing arrangement.

•The Company now has 10 MW contracted with 15 MW planned for deployment in 2026, demonstrating an ability to rapidly design, manufacture, and deploy modular infrastructure in underserved Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets

•Advanced strategic transition to a data center-focused platform, with increased emphasis on Duos Edge AI and Technology Solutions as primary growth drivers, while making continued progress on the planned divestiture of the legacy rail inspection business, which is currently expected to be finalized in the second half of 2026

•Continued expansion of the Company’s EDC pipeline, with additional units in production and plans to scale capacity to support increasing demand for AI inference, training, and high-performance computing workloads

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

It should be noted that the following Financial Results represent the consolidation of the Company with its subsidiaries Duos Technologies, Duos Edge AI, Inc., Duos Technology Solutions, Inc. and Duos Energy Corporation (“Duos Energy”).

Total revenues for Q1 2026 decreased 45% to $2.72 million compared to $4.95 million in the first quarter of 2025 (“Q1 2025”). Total revenue for Q1 2026 represents an aggregate of approximately $44,000 of Technology Systems revenue, $562,000 of Technology Solutions revenue, $532,000 of Services and Consulting revenue and $1.55 million from Related Party services revenue, and approximately $30,000 of Hosting revenue. The decrease in total revenues was primarily driven by the planned ramp-down from the Duos Energy and New APR Asset Management Agreement (“AMA”).

The Technology Solutions business unit, provides manufacturer-agnostic infrastructure sourcing, integration, and value-added supply chain services supporting data center, AI, and enterprise deployments. The Company is actively investing capital to build out a network of Edge Data Centers and expects revenue from both its Hosting and Technology Solutions to increase throughout 2026.

Cost of revenues for Q1 2026 decreased 69% to $1.11 million compared to $3.64 million for Q1 2025. The significant decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in personnel-related fixed costs associated with the Duos Energy and New APR AMA previously noted. The decrease also reflects a reduction in personnel-related fixed costs and the continued ramp-down of manufacturing activities in advance of field installation of the contracted high-speed Railcar Inspection Portal, which has temporarily slowed project activity and further reduced cost of revenues pending customer readiness for site deployment.

Gross margin for Q1 2026 increased 23% to $1.61 million compared to $1.31 million for Q1 2025. Gross margin improved primarily due to reduced costs impacting cost of goods sold across most business lines. In addition, the Company recognized approximately $900,000 of revenue during each of the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2026 related to its 5% non-voting equity interest in the ultimate parent of New APR. As this revenue had no associated cost of revenue, it contributed at a 100% gross margin.

Operating expenses for Q1 2026 increased 69% to $5.24 million compared to $3.10 million for Q1 2025. The increase in expen
