Revenue & Contribution Margin Summary:

*all numbers below exclude legacy hosting
**New hosting contract as of September 2022 passes 100% of power costs on to hosted customer. The effect of this change is to reduce revenues but also to reduce expenses. It lowers risk to Soluna since the risk of increased costs is mitigated. In September 2022, if power expenses had been included in revenues, they would have been $276,000 higher.
