Snapshot

Hillcrest Energy Technologies Ltd. (“Hillcrest” or the “Company”) is a clean technology company developing high-performance power conversion technologies and digital control systems for next-generation powertrains and grid-connected energy applications. The Company’s core focus is improving the efficiency, reliability, and cost structure of electric systems by enhancing power conversion through its proprietary Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) technology. ZVS is a technology platform that reduces switching losses during power conversion, improving efficiency, lowering heat generation, and minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI), key limitations of conventional power inverter designs. ZVS technology has been deployed into two platforms currently at the prototyping stage: (1) ZVS PCS1000, designed for applications such as energy storage/microgrids, data center power conversion sidecars, and E-mobility chargers; and (2) ZVS Traction Inverter, targeting the global electric vehicle (EV) market. Following several years of technology validation, particularly in automotive applications, Hillcrest is entering a critical commercialization phase. The Company is prioritizing near-term revenue opportunities through accelerated development of its grid-focused ZVS PCS1000 platform, which offers shorter sales cycles and broader market accessibility, while continuing to pursue licensing and partnerships to monetize its EV technology. Together with new applications being assessed on high-value industrial use cases, these markets represent an addressable opportunity of over $180 billion.

Key Points of  Hillcrest Energy Technologies Ltd.  

• ZVS inverters can achieve peak efficiencies of up to 99.7%, versus roughly 96%-98% for conventional designs. Combined with lower EMI and improved thermal performance, these gains can reduce component requirements and lower system costs.
  
  
• CleanPath Distribution Inc., an Indigenous-majority-owned entity formed with Pasqua First Nation #79 and Apeiron Resources Ltd., is expected to support Hillcrest’s expansion in Canada while opening access to government grants and other 
  non-dilutive funding opportunities.
  
  
• Hillcrest is advancing its ZVS PCS1000 platform toward prototype demonstrations expected in 2H 2026, initially targeting data centers, energy storage systems, and industrial electrification applications.
  
  
• The Company has successfully completed Phase 1 of a technology evaluation program with a global Tier 1 automotive supplier, validating the integration of its ZVS inverter technology in demanding automotive environments.
  
  
• Hillcrest is led by an experienced management team with expertise spanning power electronics innovation, commercialization, and capital markets.
  
  
• As of December 31, 2025, Hillcrest reported cash and cash equivalents of C$87,405. Subsequently, the Company strengthened its balance sheet by closing a private placement that generated gross proceeds of approximately C$4.8 million and settled roughly C$2.8 million of debt.
