Speaker #2: Good morning, everyone. Thank you for taking the time and joining this conference call. I will begin with a brief overview of our financial performance for 2025.
Aharon Yehuda: Good morning, everyone. Thank you for taking the time and joining to this conference call. I will begin with a brief overview of our financial performance for 2025. As reflected in our annual report, our financial results primarily reflect a year of continued operational expansion and investment in infrastructure. During the year, we advanced key strategic projects, most notably the establishment of our US pilots at the Port of Los Angeles, while also progressing additional projects in Europe and in Asia. These activities required increased investment, which is reflected in our operating expenses and net loss, which was approximately $3.7 million.

Speaker #2: These activities required increased investment, which is reflected in our operating expenses and net loss, which was approximately 3.7 million US dollars. Importantly, these expenses are directly tied to building the foundation for future commercialization including engineering, deployment, and project development activities.
Aharon Yehuda: Importantly, these expenses are directly tied to building the foundation for future commercialization, including engineering, deployment, and project development activities. At the same time, our revenue remains limited and continue to be driven by project timing and milestone recognition, which is typical to a company at our current stage. From a liquidity perspective, the company ended the year with approximately $6.3 million in cash, providing us a solid financial base to support ongoing operations and key project milestones. Turning to Q4. Maintaining financial discipline is equally critical as we scale. In Q4, we reduced operating expenses by 24% compared to the previous quarter, with R&D expenses down by 26% and sales and marketing expenses reduced by 32%. This improvement reflects a more efficient cost structure as we transition from pure development into the execution phase of real-world projects.

Speaker #2: This improvement reflects a more efficient cost structure as we transition from pure development into the execution phase of real-world projects. We believe this is an important milestone, as scaling an energy infrastructure company requires not only technological progress but also operational and financial efficiency.
Aharon Yehuda: We believe this is an important milestone, as scaling an energy infrastructure company requires not only technological progress but also operational and financial efficiency. In parallel, we are seeing strong validation of the broader market opportunity. 16 March 2026, Eco Wave Power was featured in NVIDIA GTC keynote, where our digital twin technology was presented as part of the application of AI in real-world energy. As artificial intelligence continues to expand globally, it is driving significant growth in electricity demands, particularly from data centers and high-performance computing infrastructure. Many of these facilities are located in coastal regions, where access to scalable and reliable renewable energy is becoming increasingly important. We believe our technology is well-positioned to contribute to this evolving landscape by enabling clean electricity generation from existing coastal infrastructure near areas of growing energy demand.

Speaker #3: Thank you, Aharon, and good morning, everyone. I'm actually taking this call from NVIDIA's GTC conference, where I had the privilege of attending the keynote of NVIDIA's CEO earlier this week.
Inna Braverman: Thank you, Aharon, and good morning, everyone. I'm actually taking this call from NVIDIA's GTC Conference, where I had the privilege of attending the keynote of NVIDIA's CEO earlier this week. I was truly honored and excited to see Eco Wave Power's technology featured during Jensen Huang's keynote and to experience it firsthand, to experience the magnitude of the artificial intelligence industry. What is very clear here is that AI is not just a technological shift. It is an infrastructure shift, and one of its most critical constraints is energy. The scale of electricity required to support data centers, high-performance computing, and AI-driven application is immense and growing rapidly, creating a significant need for new, reliable, and renewable energy sources. Against this backdrop, 2025 was a year of meaningful progress for Eco Wave Power as we continued advancing the commercialization of our technology and expanding our global project portfolio.

Speaker #3: Against this backdrop, 2025 was a year of meaningful progress for Eco Wave Power. As we continued advancing the commercialization of our technology and expanding our global project portfolio, one of the key milestones was the successful launch of the and the completion of the first onshore wave energy pilot project in the United States at the Port of Los Angeles in collaboration with Shell Marine Renewable Energy.
Inna Braverman: One of the key milestones was the successful launch and the completion of the first onshore wave energy pilot project in the United States at the Port of Los Angeles in collaboration with Shell Marine Renewable Energy. In March 2026, we submitted the final project report confirming that the system achieved its technical and operational objective. Importantly, the project demonstrated that wave energy systems can be safely integrated into existing port infrastructure using conventional onshore construction methods. This provides a clear and validated pathway towards future commercial scale deployment. At the same time, our project at Jaffa Port in Israel continued to deliver strong operational performance. The system maintained 0 downtime during 2025, generated stable electricity under varying wave conditions, and achieved the highest wave conditions and peak production levels recorded at the site to date.

In Portugal, we advanced the development of our first megawatt-scale project, including engineering work, wave analysis, and submission of the execution plan. While the Port Authority is currently conducting structural assessments following a recent storm event, they have reiterated their continued interest in the project, and we view this as a part of the natural process of advancing large-scale infrastructure. At the same time, we are maintaining diversified global pipeline, allowing us to continue progressing other opportunities while developments in Portugal are being finalized. In Taiwan, our partners secured a land lease agreement for deployment at Suao Port, and we continued expanding into additional markets, including collaboration with BPCL, Bharat Petroleum in India, and a feasibility study supporting potential 8-megawatt project in South Africa.

Speaker #3: From a financial perspective, as discussed earlier, 2025 reflected a year of investment in growth and infrastructure. With a strong focus on advancing real-world projects, at the same time, we demonstrated improving cost discipline in the fourth quarter, which is an important step as we transition towards execution and commercialization.
Inna Braverman: From a financial perspective, as discussed earlier, 2025 reflected a year of investment in growth and infrastructure, with a strong focus on advancing real-world projects. At the same time, we demonstrated improving cost discipline in Q4, which is an important step as we transition towards execution and commercialization. Looking ahead, we're particularly encouraged by the growing intersection between AI and energy demand. Many of the world's largest data centers are located near coastal population centers, where electricity demand is concentrated. We believe that wave energy deployed on existing coastal infrastructure can play a meaningful role in providing clean, reliable energy close to these demand centers, reducing reliance on long-distance transmission, and supporting the next generation of digital infrastructures.
