  "account": "PowerBank, a renewable energy developer, reported lower fiscal 2026 revenue of CAD 27.4 million, compared to CAD 41.5 million in the previous fiscal year. The company's shift from project-based work to owning power assets contributed to this decline. Net loss narrowed to CAD 24.3 million, or CAD 0.58 per share, but adjusted EBITDA worsened to a loss of CAD 3.5 million. Revenue from EPC services and development-fee income declined significantly, while IPP production revenue grew to CAD 9.8 million. Gross margin improved to 35%. Despite the lower revenue, the company's debt-to-equity ratio remains high at 2.75, and its Financial Health score is weak at 1.52. PowerBank's results align with a broader trend in the renewable-energy sector, where developers are moving towards longer-term asset ownership. The company's CEO emphasized the importance of scaling its development and EPC platform while expanding its owned-asset base.",
