Recent Operational Highlights

1.The Company announced on September 5, 2024 that it has entered into definitive agreements for a $160 million private placement financing priced at market, from a group of institutional and accredited investors, NVIDIA and Related Companies, the most prominent privately-owned real estate company and leader in complex infrastructure and data center development. This strategic financing underscores Applied Digital's position as a trusted pioneer in the accelerated compute space. The transaction closed on September 9, 2024.

2.The Company added two additional clusters to our Cloud Services Business, increasing the total to six clusters, each containing 1,024 GPUs.

Management Commentary

Wes Cummins, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital commented: “After the close of the quarter, our balance sheet significantly improved due to strategic investments from a group of institutional and accredited investors, NVIDIA, and Related Companies. We sincerely appreciate the vote of confidence from our investors and look forward to deploying this capital into high-return projects in the digital infrastructure sector.

We have made significant strides in our key growth initiatives. We are finalizing a lease agreement with a U.S.-based hyperscaler for our 100 MW facility currently under construction. This state-of-the-art, 369,000+ square-foot facility is specifically designed for HPC applications, including artificial intelligence. Furthermore, we are in the design phase for two additional buildings at this location, which will increase the total capacity to 400 MW.

Our vision is to become a platform capable of building and operating multiple HPC data centers. This starts with our Ellendale campus and continues with three additional campuses we are actively marketing totaling

1.4 GW. To support this vision, we have added several industry veterans to our team and are already working on the design of our next two buildings, which will provide an additional 300 MW of capacity at our Ellendale HPC Campus. We are incredibly proud of the progress made this quarter and look forward to providing further updates as the year progresses.

Lastly, we are delighted to announce some executive changes to better position the Company for managing its rapidly expanding growth. David Rench will assume the role of Chief Administrative Officer and Saidal Mohmand will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer, with these changes to be effective Monday, October 14th."

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 August 31, 2024, we brought two clusters online contributing to the Company recognizing $25.9 million in revenues from the Cloud Services Business segment.

HPC Data Center Hosting Update

Applied Digital’s HPC Data Center Hosting Business designs, builds, and operates next-generation data centers, which are 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.

We are finalizing a lease agreement with a U.S.-based hyperscaler for our 100 MW facility currently under construction. Beyond this, we plan to bring an additional 300 MW online through two additional buildings, which are in the design stage, ultimately increasing Ellendale's total HPC capacity to 400 MW. We are also in advanced negotiations with traditional financing institutions to secure funding for these projects.

Data Center Hosting Update

Our Data Center Hosting Business operates data centers to provide energized space to crypto mining customers. As of August 31, 2024, our 106 MW facility in Jamestown, North Dakota and our 180 MW facility in Ellendale, North Dakota are operating at full capacity.

The sale of our Garden City, Texas hosting facility to Marathon was finalized in April 2024. On July 30, 2024 the conditional approval requirements related to the release of the escrowed funds from the sale were met, resulting in the release of the escrow funds to the Company totaling $25 million, which are included in gain on classification of held for sale on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Financial Results for Fiscal First Quarter 2025

Operating Results

Total revenues in the fiscal first quarter 2025 were $60.7 million, up 67% from the fiscal first quarter 2024. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by the Company recognizing revenue from its Cloud Services business segment due to the launch of the service at the end of the previous fiscal year.

Cost of revenues in the fiscal first quarter 2025 was $61.1 million compared to $25.2 million in the fiscal first quarter 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increases in depreciation and amortization expense and lease and related expenses, primarily driven by the growth in the business, as more facilities were energized

compared to the fiscal first quarter of 2024. The increase in the cost of revenues was also attributable to higher personnel costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the fiscal first quarter 2025 were $14.3 million compared to $16.2 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2024.

Net loss for the fiscal first quarter 2025 was $4.3 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, based on a weighted average share count during the quarter of 149.0 million shares. This compares to a net loss of $11.5 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, based on a weighted average share count of 100.5 million shares for the fiscal first quarter 2024.

Adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP measure, for the fiscal first quarter of 2025, was $21.6 million or adjusted net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.15, based on a weighted average share count during the quarter of approximately 149.0 million shares. This compares to an adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP financial measure, of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, for the fiscal first quarter of 2024 based on a weighted average share count during the quarter of approximately 100.5 million shares. Adjusted net loss was negatively impacted by $4.4 million of expenses associated with facilities and equipment that were not yet generating revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the fiscal first quarter 2025 was $20.0 million compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $9.9 million for the fiscal first quarter 2024. Despite the overall growth in this measure, Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by $4.1 million of expenses associated with facilities that were not yet generating revenue.

Balance Sheet

We ended the fiscal first quarter 2025 with $86.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, compared to $31.7 million as of the end of fiscal 2024, along with $143.6 million in debt, compared to $125.4 million as of the end of fiscal 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among other things, future operating and financial performance, product development, market position, business strategy and objectives. These statements use words, and variations of words, such as "continue," "build," "future," "increase," "drive," "believe," "look," "ahead," "confident," "deliver," "outlook," "expect," and "predict." Other examples of forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, (i) statements of Company plans and objectives, including our evolving business model, or estimates or predictions of actions by suppliers, (ii) statements of future economic performance, and (iii) statements of assumptions underlying other statements and statements about the Company or its business. 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 subject to uncertainty. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from the Company's expectations and projections. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include: decline in demand for our products and services; the volatility of the crypto asset industry; the inability to comply with developments and changes in regulation; cash flow and access to capital; and maintenance of third party relationships. Information in this release is as of the dates and time periods indicated herein, and the Company does not undertake to update any 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, the Company updated its presentation of non-GAAP measures. As a result of this updated presentation, the Company no longer excludes start-up costs as an adjustment to Operating loss, Net loss, 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 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, and Adjusted Net Loss per Diluted Share

“Adjusted Operating Loss” and “Adjusted Net Loss” are non-GAAP financial measures that represent operating loss and net loss, respectively, excluding stock-based compensation, non-recurring repair expenses, diligence, acquisition, disposition and integration expenses, litigation expenses, non-recurring research and development expenses, 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 is Adjusted Operating Loss further adjusted for the losses associated with the abandonment of assets, changes in fair value of debt and loss on extinguishment of debt. We define “Adjusted Net Loss per Diluted Share” as Adjusted Net Loss 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, non-recurring research and development expenses, (gain)/loss on classification of held for sale, the losses associated with the abandonment of assets, changes in fair value of debt, debt extinguishment, as well as the loss on legal settlement and other non-recurring expenses that Management believes are not representative of the Company’s expected ongoing costs.
