Recent Operational
Highlights
- Applied Digital Corporation entered
today into a $5.0 billion perpetual preferred equity financing
facility, with investment vehicles of funds managed by Macquarie
Asset Management (“MAM”), for its HPC business conducted through
APLD HPC Holdings LLC (“APLDH”), a subsidiary of Applied Digital.
- Funds managed by MAM to invest up
to $900 million in the Company’s Ellendale HPC data center campus
(the “Ellendale HPC Campus”).
- Agreement to provide MAM a right to
invest up to an additional $4.1 billion across Applied Digital’s
future HPC data center pipeline.
- The MAM investment, in conjunction
with future project financing, to be used to repay project-level
debt and allow the Company to recover over an estimated $300
million of its equity investment in the Ellendale HPC Campus.
- MAM’s investment will take the form
of a perpetual preferred and 15% common equity interest of Applied
Digital’s HPC business segment, providing Applied Digital an 85%
ownership stake in both existing and future HPC assets (minimizing
dilution to Applied Digital’s public stockholders).
- Transformative agreement positions
the Company to firmly establish itself as a top-tier HPC data
center designer, builder and operator in the United States with its
purpose-built and proprietary design to run advanced AI workloads
for both training and inference.
- Successfully energized the on-site
main substation transformer at the purpose-built HPC data center in
Ellendale, ND, marking a significant milestone in its development
and advancing support for cutting-edge AI and high-performance
computing.
- Won the DCD Community Impact Award
for their Ellendale Community and Economic Development Initiative.
Applied Digital is addressing housing shortages through the R-WISH
program and supporting workforce growth in Ellendale, ND. Finalists
in this category included Google Data Centers Community Development
& Social Impact (CDSI) Initiatives (USA), NTT DATA Maharashtra
Water Resilience for Communities and Agriculture (India), and
Telehouse Europe South Campus Development and Circular Economy
Initiative in collaboration with Black & White Engineering and
Skanska (London).
- APLD ELN-02 Holdings LLC, a
subsidiary of Applied Digital, closed a $150 million senior secured
debt financing with Macquarie Equipment Capital, Inc., a division
of Macquarie Groups Commodities and Global Markets’ business. APLD
ELN-02 Holdings LLC issued a Promissory Note for the full $150
million in gross proceeds on November 27, 2024, and simultaneously
repaid APLD Holdings 2 LLC's obligations under the Senior Secured
Credit Facility with CIM Group, removing encumbrances on assets
outside of APLD ELN-02 Holdings LLC, as well as the parent
guarantee.
- Completed a $450 million offering
of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, including $75 million
from an option exercised by initial purchasers. Net proceeds were
approximately $435.2 million, with $84 million allocated for share
repurchases and the remainder for general corporate purposes.
Management Commentary
"We remain in late stage negotiations for our
Ellendale campus," said Applied Digital Chairman and CEO Wes
Cummins. "Over the past year, we've gained valuable insights into
the thorough and deliberate approach hyperscalers take. While their
timelines may extend longer than initially expected, we remain
steadfast in our commitment to delivering our 400 MW data center
campus on time and within budget."
"The rapid expansion of hyperscale data centers,
driven by the growing demand for AI capabilities, is presenting
significant challenges to electricity availability in the U.S.
According to a recent Morgan Stanley report, there could be a
shortfall of approximately 36 GW in power availability for U.S.
data centers by 2028. To put this into perspective, that’s
equivalent to the output of around 36 nuclear power plants.
Addressing this issue is not straightforward, as adding new
capacity requires lengthy planning, regulatory approvals, and the
development of new generation and transmission infrastructure,
processes that can span years or even decades. Based on these
dynamics, we believe that much of the U.S.’s currently available
excess power could be under contract within the next few
years."
"Applied Digital was one of the first companies
to recognize this growing demand for power and data centers.
Anticipating these needs, we began construction of our facilities
ahead of many hyperscalers fully grasping the shifting demand
landscape. As a result, we believe we are well-positioned to
capitalize on these trends. Our strategy has been further validated
over the past year by securing strategic investments from CIM
Group, NVIDIA, and now Macquarie Asset Management, a division of
one of the world’s largest infrastructure investors. We believe
these investments not only validate our vision and approach but
also lower our cost of capital and accelerate the development of
our pipeline, transforming it into highly valuable assets for our
shareholders."
"Our vision is to establish a platform for
building and operating multiple HPC data centers. This journey
began with our Ellendale campus and continues with the development
of additional campuses. We are proud of the significant progress
achieved this quarter and look forward to sharing further updates
as the year unfolds."
Cloud Services Update
Applied Digital’s Cloud Services Business
provides high-performance computing power for artificial
intelligence and machine learning applications. During the three
months ended November 30, 2024, the Company generated $27.7 million
in revenues from the Cloud Services Business segment, representing
an increase of 523% compared to $4.5 million during the three
months ended November 30, 2023.
HPC Data Center Hosting
Update
Applied Digital’s HPC Data Center Hosting
Business designs, builds, and operates next-generation data centers
designed to provide massive computing power and support
high-performance computing applications within a cost-effective
model. During the prior fiscal year, the Company broke ground on
its first 100 MW HPC facility in Ellendale, North Dakota. The new
369,000+ square-foot building will provide ultra-low-cost and
highly efficient liquid-cooled infrastructure for HPC
applications.
Applied Digital is in late-stage discussions
with multiple hyperscalers to finalize a lease agreement for its
100 MW facility, which is currently under construction.
Additionally, we plan to bring an extra 300 MW online through two
additional buildings currently in the design stage. This will
ultimately increase Ellendale's total HPC capacity to 400 MW.
Data Center Hosting Update
Applied Digital’s Data Center Hosting Business
operates data centers to provide energized space to crypto mining
customers. As of November 30, 2024, the Company’s 106 MW facility
in Jamestown, N.D., and 180 MW facility in Ellendale, N.D., are
operating at full capacity.
During the three months ended November 30, 2024,
the Company generated $36.2 million in revenue from the Data Center
Hosting Business segment.
Financial Results for Fiscal Second
Quarter 2025
Operating Results
Total revenues in the fiscal second quarter 2025
were $63.9 million, up 51% from the fiscal second quarter 2024. The
growth was primarily driven by the continued expansion of the
Company’s Cloud Services business during the latter period, fueled
by the deployment of additional GPU clusters.
Cost of revenues in the fiscal second quarter
2025 was $52.4 million compared to $29.8 million in the fiscal
second quarter 2024. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily
driven by the growth in the business as more facilities were
energized and additional services were provided to customers
compared to the same year-ago quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in
the fiscal second quarter 2025 were $29.8 million compared to $20.3
million in the fiscal second quarter of 2024.
Interest expense, net in the fiscal second
quarter of 2025 increased $4.9 million, or 186%, from $2.6 million
for the three months ended November 30, 2023 to $7.5 million for
the three months ended November 30, 2024. The increase in interest
expense, net was primarily driven by an increase in finance leases
and interest-bearing loans between periods.
Loss on conversion of debt was $25.4 million for
the three months ended November 30, 2024 due to the difference in
fair value to the price at which the Yorkville Promissory Notes
(the "YA Notes") were converted. There was no such activity
recorded in the prior year comparative period.
Loss on change in fair value of debt was $87.2
million for the three months ended November 30, 2024 due to the
adjustments to the fair value of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes
during the 2 week period in which the conversion option was
recorded as a derivative, prior to the Company receiving
shareholder approval on November 20, 2024 to increase authorized
share count. The loss on change in fair value of debt was also
driven by adjustments to the fair value of the YA Notes. There was
no such activity recorded in the prior year comparative period.
Net loss for the fiscal second quarter 2025 was
$139.4 million, or $0.66 per basic and diluted share, based on a
weighted average share count during the quarter of 209.6 million
shares. This compares to a net loss of $10.5 million, or $0.10 per
basic and diluted share, based on a weighted average share count of
109.7 million shares for the fiscal second quarter 2024.
Adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP measure, for the
fiscal second quarter of 2025, was $12.6 million or adjusted net
loss per basic and diluted share of $0.06, based on a weighted
average share count during the quarter of approximately 209.6
million shares. This compares to an adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP
financial measure, of $5.0 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted
share, for the fiscal second quarter of 2024 based on a weighted
average share count during the quarter of approximately 109.7
million shares.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure,
for the fiscal second quarter 2025 was $21.4 million compared to an
Adjusted EBITDA of $11.1 million for the fiscal second quarter
2024.
Balance Sheet
As of November 30, 2024, the Company had $314.6
million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, along with
$479.6 million in debt.

Company’s ability to effectively apply the net proceeds from the
transaction as described above. You are cautioned not to rely on
these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on
current expectations of future events and thus are inherently

of the information contained in these materials, except as required
by law.
Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial
statements presented under GAAP, we are presenting certain non-GAAP
financial measures. We are providing these non-GAAP financial
measures to disclose additional information to facilitate the
comparison of past and present operations by providing perspective
on results absent one-time or significant non-cash items. We
utilize these measures in the business planning process to
understand expected operating performance and to evaluate results
against those expectations. We believe that these non-GAAP
financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP
financial results, provide management and investors with an
additional understanding of our business operating results
regarding factors and trends affecting our business and provide a
reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of
operations.
These non-GAAP financial measures are provided
as supplemental measures to the Company’s performance measures
calculated in accordance with GAAP and therefore, are not intended
to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable
GAAP measures. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures have no
standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under
any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Because of
the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, we
caution investors that the non-GAAP financial measures as used by
us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have limits in their
usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and
therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled
measures used by other companies. Further, investors should be
aware that when evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures, these
measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s
future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring
items. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be
items that we may exclude for purposes of our non-GAAP financial
measures and we may in the future cease to exclude items that we
have historically excluded for purposes of our non-GAAP financial
measures. Likewise, we may determine to modify the nature of the
adjustments to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures. Investors
should review the non-GAAP reconciliations provided below and not
rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s
business.
Change in Presentation
Beginning in the third quarter of 2024, we
updated our presentation of non-GAAP measures. As a result of this
updated presentation, we no longer exclude start-up costs as an
adjustment to Operating loss, Net loss attributable to Applied
Digital Corporation, or EBITDA in our calculation of Adjusted
operating loss, Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied Digital
Corporation, Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied Digital
Corporation per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating loss, Adjusted net loss
attributable to Applied Digital Corporation, and Adjusted net loss
attributable to Applied Digital Corporation per diluted share are
non-GAAP measures and are defined below.
Adjusted Operating
Loss, Adjusted net loss
attributable to Applied Digital Corporation,
and Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied
Digital Corporation per diluted share
“Adjusted Operating Loss” and “Adjusted net loss
attributable to Applied Digital Corporation” are non-GAAP financial
measures that represent operating loss and net loss attributable to
Applied Digital Corporation, respectively. Adjusted Operating Loss
is Operating loss excluding stock-based compensation, non-recurring
repair expenses, diligence, acquisition, disposition and
integration expenses, litigation expenses, non-recurring research
and development expenses, loss on abandonment of assets,
loss/(gain) on classification of held for sale, accelerated
depreciation and amortization, loss on legal settlement, as well as
other non-recurring expenses that Management believes are not
representative of the Company’s expected ongoing costs. Adjusted
net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation is Adjusted
Operating Loss further adjusted for the loss on conversion of debt,
loss on change in fair value of debt and loss on the extinguishment
of debt. We define “Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied
Digital Corporation per diluted share” as Adjusted net loss
attributable to Applied Digital Corporation divided by weighted
average diluted share count.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
“EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest,
taxes, and depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is
defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation,
non-recurring repair expenses, diligence, acquisition, disposition
and integration expenses, litigation expenses, research and
development expenses, loss/(gain) on classification of held for
sale, loss on abandonment of assets, loss on conversion of debt,
loss on change in the fair value of debt, loss on extinguishment of
debt, and legal settlement as well as other non-recurring expenses
that Management believes are not representative of our expected
ongoing costs.
