APPLIED DIGITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2025
1. Business and Organization
Applied Digital Corporation (the “Company”) is a designer, builder, and operator of high-performance, sustainably engineered data centers and colocation services for artificial intelligence, cloud, networking, and blockchain workloads. The Company has two reportable segments. Financial information for each segment is contained in “Note 15 - Business Segments.”
All references to “Applied Digital Corporation,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” mean Applied Digital Corporation and its subsidiaries.
2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required for audited annual financial statements.
In the Company’s opinion, all necessary adjustments have been made for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, please refer to and read these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on July 30, 2025.
Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Data Center Hosting Revenue
The Company provides energized space to customers who locate their hardware within the Company’s co-hosting facility. Performance obligations are achieved simultaneously by providing the hosting environment for the customers’ operations. Customers pay a fixed rate to the Company in exchange for a managed hosting environment supported by customer-provided equipment. Revenue is recognized based on the contractual fixed rate, net of any credits for non-performance, over the term of the agreements. Any ancillary revenue for other services is generally recognized at a point in time when the services are complete. Customer contracts include advance payment terms. All advanced service payments are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue once the related service is provided.
HPC Hosting Revenue
The Company provides certain fit-out services in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the client and recognizes revenues over time as performance obligations are satisfied. The Company measures its progress to completion using an input measure of total costs incurred divided by total costs expected to be incurred, which it believes to be the best measure of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. In the course of providing its services, the Company
APPLIED DIGITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2025
routinely subcontracts for services and incurs other direct costs on behalf of its clients. These costs are passed through to client and, in accordance with GAAP, are included in the Company’s revenue and cost of revenue.
Segments
The Company has identified two reportable segments: data center hosting (“Data Center Hosting Business”) and high-performance compute hosting (“HPC Hosting Business”). These segments represent management's view of the business for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
The Company's CODM evaluates performance and makes operating decisions primarily based on revenue and segment profit (loss), on a consolidated basis and for each of the Company's reportable segments. Operating results by segment include costs or expenses directly attributable to each segment, which include selling, general, and administrative expenses, gain on classification of held for sale and loss on abandonment of assets.
The Company does not allocate loss on change in fair value of debt or income tax expense to these segments for internal reporting purposes, as the Company does not believe that allocating these expenses is beneficial in evaluating segment performance.
The Data Center Hosting Business operates data centers to provide energized space to crypto mining customers. Customer-owned hardware is installed in the Company’s facilities and the Company provides operational and maintenance services for a fixed fee.
The HPC Hosting Business designs, builds, and operates data centers which are designed to support high-compute applications using advanced technologies and sophisticated infrastructures to provide services to customers.
See Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC, for additional information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies and use of estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes ("Topic 740"): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company has adopted this ASU for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2025 and will present updated disclosures in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU is intended to enhance transparency of income statement disclosures primarily through additional disaggregation of relevant expense captions. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with prospective or retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statement presentation and disclosures and plans to adopt this pronouncement beginning with its fiscal year beginning June 1, 2027.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20). The amendments in this ASU clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. The amendments in this ASU permit an entity to apply the new guidance on either a prospective or a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements and plans to adopt this pronouncement beginning with its fiscal year beginning June 1, 2026.

For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2025
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU is intended to simplify the capitalization guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements and plans to adopt this pronouncement beginning with its fiscal year beginning June 1, 2028.
Assets Held For Sale
The Company generally considers assets to be held for sale when the following criteria are met: (i) management commits to a plan to sell the property, (ii) the property is available for sale immediately, (iii) management has initiated an active program to locate a buyer or buyers and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the disposal group, (iv) the sale of the property within one year is considered probable, (v) the property is actively being marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and (vi) significant changes to the plan to sell are not expected. Property classified as held for sale is no longer depreciated and is reported at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment - Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2025, the Company deemed its Cloud Services Business met the held for sale criteria and was classified as such on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Discontinued Operations
The Company deems it appropriate to classify a business as a discontinued operation if the related disposal group meets all the following criteria: (i) the disposal group is a component of the Company, (ii) the component meets the held-for-sale criteria, and (iii) the disposal of the component represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2025, the Company deemed its Cloud Services Business to be discontinued operations due to the disposal group meeting all three criteria. As such, the results of the Cloud Services Business are presented as discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.
Reclassifications
The Company reclassified certain prior period amounts in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to conform to our current period presentation. Specifically, we have reclassified certain amounts in “Property and equipment, net” to “Other assets”. This reclassification has no impact on total assets or cash flows.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company’s restricted cash balances consist of funds for construction and letters of credit.
The funds for construction are held in a construction reserve account to fund the construction of the Company’s 400 MW Ellendale, North Dakota data center campus (“Polaris Forge 1”), in accordance with the SMBC Credit Agreement (as defined below). See further discussion in Note 7 - Debt.
Additionally, the Company has letters of credit totaling $37.3 million presented on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets within restricted cash. The Company is required to keep these balances, which are held in money market funds, in separate accounts for the duration of the letter of credit agreements, which have terms of up to two years. The letters of credit were issued in lieu of security deposits. The Company considers the money market funds to be Level 1 which the Company believes approximates fair value.

Performance Stock Units
Performance stock units (“PSUs”) represent a right to receive a certain number of shares of common stock based on the achievement of company performance goals, individual performance measures, and continued employment during the vesting period. Performance stock units cliff-vest depending on the achievement of Company and individual performance measures the achievement of which must occur on or prior to December 31, 2027 for all awards currently outstanding. Such performance measures are based on the Company entering into data center leases with a hyperscaler, the consummation of project financing, receipt of sustainable revenue with respect to the data center leases that implies positive net operating income, and data center buildings achieving "ready for service" dates. The fair value of PSUs is based on the closing price on the date of grant. The compensation expense related to these PSUs is recognized over the vesting period when the achievement of the performance conditions becomes probable.

For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2025
The shares of Series E Preferred Stock have no voting or conversion rights. Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a fixed rate of 9.0% per annum. Dividends are calculated based on a 360-day year, declared and accrued monthly, and payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors out of legally available funds. Dividends must be fully paid for all past periods before any distributions can be made to common stockholders or any junior series of equity securities. During the three months ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company declared and paid approximately $170,000 and $44,000, respectively, of dividends related to Series E Preferred Stock as presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Series E Preferred Stock ranks senior to all classes of common stock and junior to all existing and future debt of the Company. Additionally, it is on parity with any future series of preferred stock with substantially identical terms but may rank junior to any future series of preferred stock if the holders of such series are entitled to rights and preferences with priority over the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock. In the event of liquidation, holders are entitled to receive $25.00 per share (the “Series E Stated Value”) plus any accrued but unpaid dividends before any distributions are made to common stockholders. The Series E Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and remains outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed or repurchased by the Company.
Holders may require the Company to redeem any portion of their Series E Preferred Stock at any time for a "Settlement Amount" calculated as the Series E Stated Value plus any unpaid dividends, less a Holder Optional Redemption Fee, equal to a percentage of the Series E Stated Value based on the year when the redemption occurs as follows: 9.00% prior to the first anniversary of the respective tranche closing date (the "Original Issuance Date"); 7.00% on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the Original Issuance Date; 5.00% on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the Original Issuance Date: and 0.00% on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issuance Date. The Settlement Amount can be settled in cash or shares of common stock, subject to a share cap, which limits the total shares deliverable upon redemption to 19.99% of the common stock outstanding prior to the Series E Preferred Stock offering (25,475,751 shares, the “Share Cap”). Any portion of the Settlement Amount exceeding the Share Cap will be settled in cash.
The Company may also redeem shares of Series E Preferred Stock after the second anniversary of the original issuance date, with a minimum notice of 10 days, at the Company Optional Redemption Settlement Amount, which is equal to the Series E Stated Value per share plus any unpaid and accrued dividends. If the Company elects to pay the redemption amount in shares, then the number of shares to be delivered will be calculated as the Company Optional Redemption Settlement Amount divided by the closing price per share of the common stock on the date of the Company Optional Redemption exercise, subject to the Share Cap.
Series E-1 Redeemable Preferred Stock
On September 23, 2024, the Company entered into a dealer manager agreement for the offering of up to 62,500 shares of Series E-1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series E-1 Preferred Stock”), at a price per share of $1,000 (the “Series E-1 Stated Value”). During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, the Company closed on eight offerings in which the Company issued 62,500 shares for gross proceeds of $62.5 million. The Series E-1 Preferred Stock offering was completed as of May 31, 2025.
The shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock have no voting or conversion rights. Holders of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a fixed rate of 9.0% per annum of the Series E-1 Stated Value. Dividends are calculated based on a 360-day year, declared and accrued monthly, and payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors out of legally available funds. Dividends on the shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock must be fully paid for all past periods before any distributions can be made to common stockholders or any junior series of equity securities. During the three months ended August 31, 2025, the Company declared and paid approximately $1.4 million of dividends related to the Series E-1 Preferred Stock as presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Series E-1 Preferred Stock ranks senior to all classes or series of common stock and junior to all existing and future debt of the Company. Additionally, the Series E-1 Preferred Stock is on parity with the Series E Preferred Stock and any future series of preferred stock with substantially identical terms but may rank junior to any future series of preferred stock if the holders of such series are entitled to rights and preferences with priority over the holders of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock. In the event of liquidation, holders of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock and holders of shares of any other class or

For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2025
series of capital stock ranking senior to or on a parity with the Series E-1 Preferred Stock, are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the Series E-1 Stated Value plus an amount per share that is issuable as a result of any accrued but unpaid dividends before any distributions are made to common stockholders. The Series E-1 Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and remains outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed or repurchased by the Company.
Holders may require the Company to redeem any portion of their Series E-1 Preferred Stock at any time for a "Settlement Amount" calculated as the Series E-1 Stated Value plus any unpaid dividends, less a Holder Optional Redemption Fee equal to a percentage of the Series E-1 Stated Value based on the year when the redemption occurs as follows: 9.00% prior to the first anniversary of the respective tranche closing date (the "Original Issuance Date"); 7.00% on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the Original Issuance Date; 5.00% on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the Original Issuance Date: and 0.00% on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issuance Date. The Settlement Amount can be settled in cash or shares of common stock at the sole option of the Company, subject to a share cap (if required by Nasdaq rules and regulations), which limits the total shares deliverable upon redemption to 19.99% of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Series E-1 Preferred Stock offering (25,889,470 shares, the “Share Cap”), unless approval by the Company’s stockholders is obtained to exceed the Share Cap. Any portion of the Settlement Amount exceeding this cap will be settled in cash. Holders may not redeem any shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock for common stock prior to the first anniversary of the Original Issuance Date.
The Company may also redeem shares of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock after the second anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, with a minimum notice of 10 days, at a redemption price equal to the Series E-1 Stated Value plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. If the Company elects to pay the redemption amount in shares, then the number of shares to be delivered will be calculated as the Settlement Amount divided by the closing price per share of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the date upon which notice was provided to the holder, subject to the Share Cap, if applicable. During the three months ended August 31, 2025, 225 of shares were redeemed.
Series G Convertible Preferred Stock
On April 30, 2025, the Company entered into the Preferred Equity Purchase Agreement (the “PEPA”) with certain investors for the issuance and sale of up to 156,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock”) in a transaction (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The shares of the Series G Preferred Stock may be put to the investors from time to time at the Company’s discretion during the period commencing on April 30, 2025 (the “Commitment Date”) and terminating on the earlier of (i) the 36-month anniversary of the Commitment Date or (ii) such date as there ceases to be a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock remaining under the Exchange Cap (as defined in the PEPA).
The Series G Preferred Stock became convertible on June 3, 2025, the Registration Effective Date (as defined in the PEPA). Pursuant to the PEPA, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC, registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock, on June 3, 2025, as amended the post-effective amendment filed with the SEC on September 23, 2025, each of which was automatically effective upon filing. Conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock is subject to a customary 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, as well as a 19.99% conversion limitation pursuant to the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, representing 44,931,523 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Exchange Cap”).
The Series G Preferred Stock ranks senior to all classes of common stock and junior to all existing and future debt of the Company. Upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of the Series G Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive distributions out of the assets of the Company in an amount per share equal to the then-current Series G Preferred Stock stated value, whether capital or surplus, before any distributions are made on any shares of our common stock. The Series G Preferred Stock is on parity with the Series E Preferred Stock, Series E-1 Preferred Stock and any future series of preferred stock with substantially identical terms.
Holders have the right to require the Company to redeem the Series G Preferred Stock under certain conditions, such as a Trading Failure, as defined in the Series G Preferred Stock certificate of designation. If there is a Trading Failure, the redemption price is the greater of the Series G Preferred Stock stated value or the product of the lowest conversion price during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the Trading Failure and ending on the date the holder

delivers a Redemption Notice, multiplied by the number of shares of common stock into which the preferred stock is convertible at the then-effective conversion price.
If any Investor is prevented from converting any portion of its Series G Preferred Stock because of the Exchange Cap, and such limitation continues for 18 months following the date that is 18 months following the issuance of such Series G Preferred Stock, or, if earlier, the date that is 36 months following the Commitment Date, then the portion of the Series G Preferred Stock held by such Investor at such time shall be redeemed by the Company, within 10 trading days after such earlier date, at a price equal to 110% of the stated value of such Series G Preferred Stock.
On each conversion date, the conversion price for the Series G Preferred Stock being converted (the “Conversion Price”) will equal the greater of (i) 95% of the lowest daily Volume Weighted Average Price for each of the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date and (ii) the initial floor price of $4.25, which may be reduced by the Company at any time in its sole discretion, but in no event below $1.34 (as may be adjusted from time to time, the “Floor Price”). Based on its initial stated value of $1,000 per share and the $4.25 initial Floor Price, each share of Series G Preferred Stock would be convertible into an aggregate of 236 shares of common stock. No right of conversion may be exercised by the Investors in excess of $30 million of stated value, in the aggregate, per month, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the Company and the holders holding a majority of the voting power of the Series G Preferred Stock outstanding at the time.
On August 14, 2025, the Company entered into the first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the PEPA to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate commitment amount of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock from $150 million to $300 million, and (ii) increase its access to capital by removing the Put Limitation (as defined in the PEPA) that had previously limited the aggregate purchase price for any Put Issuance (as defined in the PEPA) to no more than $75 million. In connection with the First Amendment, on August 14, 2025, the Company filed an amendment (the “First CoD Amendment”) to the Series G Certificate of Designation, originally filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on April 30, 2025. The First CoD Amendment amends the Series G Certificate of Designation to, among other things, (i) increase the initial Floor Price (as set forth in Section 1.5(c)(i) of the Series G Certificate of Designation) to $12.50 from $4.25, and (ii) change the limit below which the Floor Price may not be reduced (as set forth in Section 1.5(c)(ii) of the Series G Certificate of Designation) to $4.33 from $1.34. The Floor Price sets the minimum floor for the conversion price of the Series G Preferred Stock, which price may not be reduced unless the Company determines to do so in its discretion. The First CoD Amendment further amended the status of converted or repurchased preferred stock such that any shares of Series G Preferred Stock that have been or will be converted will be retired and resume the status of authorized but unissued shares.
As Series G Preferred Stock may be reissued, during the three months ended August 31, 2025, the Company issued and sold 180,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $175.0 million, with a total of 258,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock, inclusive of the 78,000 shares outstanding as of May 31, 2025, being converted into approximately 28.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock. As of August 31, 2025, no Series G Preferred Stock was issued and outstanding.

For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2025
Securities Lawsuit
The Company, Wes Cummins, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and David Rench, the Company's then Chief Financial Officer, have been named as defendants in a putative securities class action lawsuit in the matter styled, McConnell v. Applied Digital Corporation, et al., Case No. 3:23-cv-1805, filed in August 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the “Securities Lawsuit”). Specifically, the complaint asserts claims pursuant to Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegedly false or misleading statements regarding the company’s business, operations, and compliance policies, including claims that the Company overstated the profitability of its Data Center Hosting Business and its ability to successfully transition into a low-cost cloud services provider and that the Company’s board of directors was not “independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq listing rules. On May 22, 2024, the court appointed lead plaintiff and approved lead counsel, and on July 22, 2024, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint which asserts the same claims based on similar allegations in the original complaint. On September 20, 2024, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On November 19, 2024, lead plaintiff filed his opposition to the Motion to Dismiss. On January 3, 2025, the defendants filed their reply in further support of the Motion to Dismiss. On September 8, 2025, the Court issued an order staying the Securities Lawsuit and administratively closing it pending resolution of the Motion to Dismiss.
The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse final decision in the Securities Lawsuit. If an unfavorable action were to occur, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.
Derivative Lawsuit
On November 15, 2023, a derivative action was filed in the matter styled, Weich v. Cummins, et al., Case No. A-23-881629-C in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada (the “Derivative Lawsuit”). The Weich complaint named as defendants certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors and its Chief Executive Officer Wesley Cummins and purports to name the Company’s then Chief Financial Officer David Rench as a defendant. The complaint asserted claims for breach of fiduciary duties, corporate waste and unjust enrichment based upon allegations that the defendants caused or allowed the Company to make materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the Company overstated the profitability of the Data Center Hosting Business and its ability to successfully transition into a low-cost cloud services provider and that the Board was not “independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq listing rules. On February 27, 2024, the derivative plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting the same claims as the original complaint.
On June 5, 2024, following briefing and argument on the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Derivative Lawsuit, the Court entered an order granting the defendants’ motion without prejudice and dismissing all claims against all defendants, including the Company, on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to plead (1) demand futility as to each of plaintiff’s claims or (2) a claim for breach of fiduciary duty. The order dismissed all claims against all defendants, including the Company. The plaintiff can seek leave to file an amended complaint but to date has not done so.
The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse final decision in this action. If an unfavorable action were to occur, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.
As of August 31, 2025, there were no other pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s consolidated operations. There are also no legal proceedings in which any of the Company’s management or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.
15. Business Segments
The Company's business is made up of two operating segments: the Data Center Hosting Business and the HPC Hosting Business. These segments represent management's view of the business for which separate financial information is

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2025
available and evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
The Company's CODM evaluates performance and makes operating decisions primarily based on revenue and segment profit (loss) on a consolidated basis and for each of the Company's reportable segments. Operating results by segment include costs or expenses directly attributable to each segment, which include selling, general, and administrative expenses, gain on classification of held for sale and loss on abandonment of assets. The Company derives the segment results from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are the same as those used for external reporting purposes. Segment revenues and segment profit are regularly reviewed by the CODM and compared against historical results, forecast and budget information in order to make decisions about how to allocate capital and other resources to each segment.
The Company does not allocate loss on change in fair value of debt or income tax expense to these segments for internal reporting purposes, as the Company does not believe that allocating these expenses is beneficial in evaluating segment performance. The "Other" includes corporate related items not allocated to reportable segments for purposes of making operating decisions or assessing financial performance.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the results of the Cloud Services Business are presented as discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. See "Note 5 - Discontinued Operations" for operations and segment results for the Cloud Services Business.

16. Loss Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) of common stock is computed by dividing a company’s net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The table below shows the calculation for earnings per share:

As of August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company had approximately 14.6 million and 6.4 million shares, respectively, of granted but unvested restricted stock awards, performance stock units, and restricted stock units that would have a potentially dilutive effect on earnings per share.
As of August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, the Company had approximately 4.4 million and 9.7 million shares, respectively, associated with the Company’s preferred stock which have been excluded from the calculation of earnings per share because the effect of those shares would be antidilutive. As of August 31, 2024, the Company had approximately 8.3 million shares associated with the Yorkville Convertible Debt which have been excluded from the calculation of earnings per share because the effect of those shares would be antidilutive. Additionally, the Company had approximately 25.5 million and 12.3 million warrants outstanding as of August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, respectively, which have been excluded from the calculations of earnings per share because the effect of those shares would be antidilutive. Lastly, if the Company's Convertible Notes were converted into shares of the Company's common stock as of August 31, 2025, approximately 46.1 million shares were excluded from the calculations of earnings per share because the effect of those shares would be antidilutive.
17. Subsequent Events

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “will,” “may,” “can,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “seek,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “point to,” “project,” “predict,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “potential” and other similar words and expressions of the future. Statements that contain these words and other statements that are forward-looking in nature should be read carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of future results of operations or of financial positions, or state other “forward-looking” information.
These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which are based on currently available information. Our actual results, and the assumptions on which we relied, could prove materially different from our expectations. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or actual operating results. There are a number of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by us. These factors include, but are not limited to:
•our ability to complete construction of our HPC facilities at each of the Polaris Forge 1 and Polaris Forge 2 campuses;
•our ability to complete the negotiation and execution of the definitive transaction documents to close the sale of our Cloud Services Business that is currently held for sale and treated as discontinued operations;
•our dependence on principal customers, including our ability to execute leases with key customers, including leases for our Polaris Forge 1 and Polaris Forge 2 data center campuses;
•availability of financing to continue to grow our business;
•labor and other workforce shortages and challenges;
•power or other supply disruptions and equipment failures;
•the addition or loss of significant customers or material changes to our relationships with these customers;
•delays or denials of entitlements or permits, including zoning, siting, utility and other permits, or other delays resulting from requirements of public agencies and utility companies;
•our sensitivity to general economic conditions including changes in disposable income levels and consumer spending trends;
•our ability to timely and successfully build new hosting facilities with the appropriate contractual margins and efficiencies;
•our ability to continue to grow sales in our hosting business;
•volatility of cryptoasset prices; and
•uncertainties of cryptoasset regulation policy.
You should carefully review the risks described in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on July 30, 2025, as well as any other cautionary language in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect, which may be material, on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor are we able to assess the impact of all of these risk factors on our business or the extent to which any risk factor, or combination of risk factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. These risks are not exhaustive.
Executive Overview
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Business Overview
We are a U.S. designer, developer, and operator of high-performance, sustainably engineered data centers and colocation services for artificial intelligence (“AI”), networking, and blockchain workloads. Headquartered in Dallas, TX, and founded in 2021, the Company combines hyperscale expertise, proprietary waterless cooling, and rapid deployment capabilities to deliver secure, scalable compute at industry-leading speed and efficiency, while creating economic opportunities in underserved communities through its award-winning Polaris Forge AI Factory model. We operate in two distinct business segments, data center hosting (the "Data Center Hosting Business") and HPC data center hosting (the "HPC Hosting Business"), as further discussed below.
During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2025, we determined that our Cloud Services Business met the criteria for held for sale and discontinued operations. As such, the results of the Cloud Services Business, which was previously included as a reportable segment, are presented as discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.
Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business
Regulatory Environment
The regulatory landscape surrounding AI and blockchain hosting services is evolving rapidly, and we anticipate increased scrutiny and potential regulation in the near and long term. Any such developments may significantly impact our business and operations in ways that are difficult to predict.
Governments and regulatory bodies are considering measures to ensure the responsible development and deployment of AI systems, including transparency, accountability, and fairness guidelines. For example, in the U.S Senate, committees of jurisdiction have passed several AI bills that establish industry standards and impose significant obligations in relation to the use of AI systems. On the state level, several U.S. states have considered AI legislation, which aims to reduce risk associated with the use of AI; while certain states have passed comprehensive AI legislation. On September 29, 2025, California passed the Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act into law, which requires certain AI companies to fulfill transparency requirements and report AI-related safety incidents, among other things. In Europe, the EU AI Act has been adopted, portions of which have started to take effect this year.
The amount of energy used for AI and crypto mining has also received significant attention. For example, in January 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration conducted an emergency survey of electricity consumption data from cryptocurrency mining companies in the U.S. This indicates that more focus is being placed on the energy usage of these activities. It is unclear how the information collected will be used for future regulations, but it is expected that energy efficiency and sustainability will be critical factors regulating both AI data centers and cryptocurrency mining.
As a company operating at the intersection of data center and HPC hosting services, we are committed to maintaining a proactive and adaptive approach to regulatory compliance. We closely monitor legislative and regulatory developments and engage in dialogue with relevant stakeholders to ensure our business practices align with the evolving legal and regulatory framework. Despite the uncertainties posed by the changing regulatory landscape, we remain committed to delivering innovative and responsible solutions in the data center and HPC hosting markets while prioritizing compliance and risk management. However, if we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we may be subject to significant liabilities, including fines and penalties, and our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be adversely affected.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Our critical accounting estimates are identified and described in our annual consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Business Update
Data Center Hosting Business
Our Data Center Hosting Business operates data centers to provide energized space to crypto mining customers.
As of August 31, 2025, our 106 MW facility in Jamestown, North Dakota and our 180 MW facility in Ellendale, North Dakota continue to operate at full capacity.
HPC Hosting Business
Our HPC Hosting Business designs, constructs, and operates next-generation data centers, which are designed to provide massive computing power and support HPC applications within a cost-effective model.
We are currently building two HPC focused data center facilities to provide 100 MW and 150 MW, respectively, of capacity at our Polaris Forge 1 campus in Ellendale, ND. These facilities are being designed and purpose-built to host high-density GPU architecture or other HPC applications, such as artificial intelligence, natural language processing, machine learning, and additional HPC developments. The third HPC focused data center facility, which is expected to provide an additional 150MW of capacity at Polaris Forge 1, is currently in planning stages with an anticipated ready for service date in 2027.
On May 28, 2025, APLD ELN-02 LLC and APLD ELN-03 LLC, our subsidiaries, each entered into a data center lease (together, the “Data Center Leases”) with CoreWeave, Inc. (“CoreWeave”) to deliver an aggregate of 250 MW of infrastructure to host CoreWeave’s HPC operations at Polaris Forge 1. The first lease is for the full capacity of our 100 MW data center that is currently under construction, and the second lease is for the full capacity of our 150 MW data center that is also under construction. We have guaranteed the obligations of APLD ELN-02 LLC and APLD ELN-03 LLC under the respective Data Center Lease to which such subsidiary is a party.
On August 28, 2025, APLD ELN-02 C LLC, our subsidiary, entered into a third data center lease, the (“Building 4 Lease”) with CoreWeave to deliver an additional 150 MW at Polaris Forge 1, bringing the total capacity under contract at Polaris Forge 1 to 400 MW. We have guaranteed the obligations of APLD ELN-02 C LLC under the Building 4 Lease.
We recognized $26.3 million in tenant fit-out revenue from this business segment during the three months ended August 31, 2025. We anticipate that this business segment will begin generating meaningful revenues associated with the leases once the first building within Polaris Forge 1 becomes operational, which is expected in calendar year 2025.
On August 18, 2025, we also announced that we would be breaking ground on our Polaris Forge 2 campus, a $3 billion, 280 MW data center near Harwood, North Dakota. The project has begun and we currently anticipate reaching initial capacity in 2026 and reaching full capacity in early 2027.
Discontinued Operations
The Cloud Services Business provides high-performance computing power for AI and machine learning applications. Near the end of the fiscal third quarter 2024, this business began generating revenue. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, we determined that the Cloud Services Business met the criteria to be classified as “held for sale,” and as the sale represents a strategic shift for the Company, discontinued operations. As such, for the three months ended August 31, 2025, we have reported the Cloud Services Business as held for sale on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and discontinued operations on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The comparative periods have been updated to present the Cloud Services Business as held for sale and discontinued operations as of June 1, 2024.
We recognized $16.7 million in revenue from this business segment during three months ended August 31, 2025 within discontinued operations. The Cloud Services Business operates in three states: Colorado, Minnesota and Utah, by renting space at third party co-location centers and providing customers with Company-owned equipment.
Management Update
On August 1, 2025, we entered into an employment agreement with Jason Zhang, one of the Company’s founders and former directors, to serve in the role of Chief Strategy Officer of the Company.
Public Offerings and Changes to Equity
June 2025 At-the-Market Sales Agreement
On June 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with Northland Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the “June 2025 Sales Agreement”), pursuant to which, up to $200,000,000 of shares of the Company's common stock may be issued if and when sold. As of the date of this report, the Company has issued and sold approximately 15.3 million shares under the June 2025 Sales Agreement for gross proceeds of approximately $196.4 million.
Series G Preferred Stock
On August 14, 2025, we entered into the first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Preferred Equity Purchase Agreement (the “PEPA”), dated April 30, 2025, to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate commitment amount of the shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock”) from $150 million to $300 million, and (ii) increase our access to capital by removing the Put Limitation (as defined in the PEPA) that had previously limited the aggregate purchase price for any Put Issuance (as defined in the PEPA) to no more than $75 million. In connection with the First Amendment, on August 14, 2025, we filed an amendment (the “First CoD Amendment”) to the Series G Certificate of Designation, originally filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on April 30, 2025. The First CoD Amendment amends the Series G Certificate of Designation to, among other things, (i) increase the initial Floor Price (as set forth in Section 1.5(c)(i) of the Series G Certificate of Designation) to $12.50 from $4.25, and (ii) change the limit below which the Floor Price may not be reduced (as set forth in Section 1.5(c)(ii) of the Series G Certificate of Designation) to $4.33 from $1.34. The Floor Price sets the minimum floor for the conversion price of the Series G Preferred Stock, which price may not be reduced unless we determine to do so in our discretion. The First CoD Amendment further amended the status of converted or repurchased preferred stock such that any shares of Series G Preferred Stock that have been or will be converted will be retired and resume the status of authorized but unissued shares.
As Series G Preferred Stock may be reissued, during the three months ended August 31, 2025, the Company issued and sold 180,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $175.0 million with a total of 258,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock being converted into approximately 28.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock. As of August 31, 2025, no Series G Preferred Stock was issued and outstanding.
CoreWeave Warrants
On August 28, 2025, in connection with the entry into the Building 4 Lease, the Company issued to CoreWeave a warrant (the “Building 4 Warrant”) to acquire up to 8,393,611 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $10.75 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Building 4 Warrant. The Building 4 Warrant is on the same Form of Warrant as the initial warrant issued to CoreWeave on May 28, 2025, in connection with the data center leases entered into for Building 2 and Building 3 on May 28, 2025.
Recent Developments
Promissory Note
On September 9, 2025, APLD FAR-01 LLC, our subsidiary, entered into a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) with Macquarie Equipment Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lender”). The Promissory Note provides for a principal sum of (a) $50 million (the “Initial Loan”), which was drawn on the Closing Date, plus (b) subject to the mutual consent of us and the Lender, additional loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25 million (the “Additional Loans” and together with the Initial Loan, the “Loan”).
The Loan shall bear interest at 8.0% per annum, unless an Event of Default (as defined therein) has occurred and is continuing, in which case, the Secured Obligations (as defined therein) shall bear interest at the sum of 8.0% per annum plus an additional 1.50% per month (the “Post-Default Rate”). From the Closing Date until the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date (the “PIK Period”), accrued interest will be paid in kind, with such payment in kind being capitalized to principal monthly and at such other times as may be specified in the Promissory Note. After the PIK Period, accrued interest will be paid in cash, provided that (i) the Post-Default Rate interest is payable in cash on demand and (ii) accrued interest on any principal amount repaid or prepaid is payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. The Promissory Note matures on the earliest of (i) the date of acceleration of the Loan, (ii) February 1, 2026, if the 200 MW Lease Execution (as defined therein) has not occurred on or before October 31, 2025, or (iii) September 9, 2027. The Loan will accelerate and we must mandatorily prepay the full outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note, together with accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and any other amounts then due and payable, upon the occurrence of any of the following conditions: (a) a Change of Control (as defined therein), (b) within
ninety (90) days following the occurrence of the 200 MW Lease Execution, and (c) within thirty (30) days following a Qualifying Preference Share Issuance (as defined therein).

APLD FAR-01 LLC will also grant mortgages to the Lender over certain properties.
Series G Preferred Stock Offering
On September 11, 2025, we entered into the second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the PEPA, dated April 30, 2025, by and between us and the investors signatory thereto, as amended by the First Amendment, dated August 14, 2025 in order to increase our access to capital to fund the continued construction and development of our Polaris Forge 1 data center campus in Ellendale, North Dakota and other general corporate purposes.
The Second Amendment amends the PEPA to, among other things, increase the aggregate commitment amount of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock from $300 million to $450 million. Concurrent with the Second Amendment, the Company filed an amendment to the Certificate of Designations to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance as Series G Preferred Stock from 156,000 to 204,000 shares.
On September 25, 2025, the Company filed an amendment (the “Third CoD Amendment”) to the Series G Certificate of Designation, originally filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on April 30, 2025, as amended. The Third CoD Amendment amended the Series G Certificate of Designation, as amended, to increase the Floor Price (as set forth in Section 1.5(c)(i) of the Certificate of Designation) to $22.00 from $12.50.
Since the execution of the Second Amendment, 204,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock have been issued have been issued for aggregate gross proceeds of $200.0 million, of which all 204,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock have been converted into an aggregate of approximately 10.2 million shares of common stock.
On October 7, 2025, the Company entered into the third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the PEPA, dated April 30, 2025, by and between the Company and the investors signatory thereto, as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, in order to increase its access to capital to fund the continued construction and development of its Polaris Forge I data center in Ellendale, North Dakota. The Third Amendment amends the PEPA to, among other things, increase the aggregate commitment amount of the shares of the Series G Preferred Stock from $450.0 million to $590.0 million.
Amended and Restated Unit Purchase Agreement
As previously disclosed, on January 13, 2025, APLD HPC Holdings LLC (formerly, APLD ELN-02 Holdings LLC), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Unit Purchase Agreement” or “UPA”) for its HPC Hosting Business with MIP VI HPC Holdings, LLC, which is an affiliate of funds and investment vehicles managed by entities within Macquarie Asset Management (“MAM”). On February 11, 2025, APLD HPC Holdings LLC novated and assigned its rights, title and interests and duties, liabilities and obligations under the UPA to APLD HPC TopCo LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“TopCo 1”). On October 3, 2025, the Company, TopCo 1, APLD HPC TopCo 2 LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary Issuer”), and MIP HPC Holdings, LLC (formerly, MIP VI HPC Holdings, LLC) (the “Purchaser”) entered into an Amended and Restated Unit Purchase Agreement (the “A&R UPA”).
On October 6, 2025, all conditions to the Initial Closing (as defined in the A&R UPA) were satisfied and the Initial Closing occurred. At the Initial Closing, the Subsidiary Issuer sold to the Purchaser 112,500 Preferred Units in the Subsidiary Issuer at a price per Preferred Unit of $1,000, for an aggregate purchase price of $112.5 million, and for no additional consideration, the Subsidiary Issuer agreed to issue to the Purchaser such number of Common Units of the Subsidiary Issuer representing, in the aggregate, seven and a half percent (7.5%) of the fully diluted common equity of the Subsidiary Issuer as of immediately following the Initial Closing. The proceeds of the Initial Closing will be used to pay, among other things, construction and development costs of Polaris Forge 1 and transaction expenses. MAM has the right to invest up to an additional $4.9 billion under the A&R UPA.
In addition, pursuant to the A&R UPA, on October 6, 2025, the Company issued to the designated affiliates of the Purchaser, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants will become exercisable upon the Purchaser funding the full $450 million in Polaris Forge 1. Also on October 6, 2025, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants within 60 days of the execution of the registration rights agreement.

Commentary on Results of Operations Comparative Results for the Three Months Ended August 31, 2025 compared to the Three Months Ended August 31, 2024
Revenue
Revenue increased $31.3 million, or 95%, from $32.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2024 to $64.2 million for the three months ended August 31, 2025. Approximately $26.3 million of the increase was due to revenue generated related to tenant fit-out services associated with our HPC Hosting Business. The remaining $5.0 million increase in revenue is related to the Data Center Hosting Business and is due to performance improvements compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024.
Related party revenue decreased $1.9 million, or 100%, from $1.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2024 to no related party revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2025, driven by certain related parties terminating their contracts during the first fiscal quarter of 2025.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues increased $32.9 million, or 144%, from $22.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2024 to $55.6 million for the three months ended August 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $25.0 million in expenses associated with tenant fit-out services for our HPC Hosting Business, an increase of $7.2 million in energy costs associated with our Data Center Hosting Business, and an increase of $0.6 million in other expenses directly attributable to generating revenue.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $18.2 million, or 165%, from $11.0 million for the three months ended August 31, 2024 to $29.2 million for the three months ended August 31, 2025. The change in selling, general and administrative expense is categorized as follows:
•approximately $16.6 million increase in stock based compensation primarily due to accelerated vesting of certain employee stock awards; and
•approximately $3.9 million increase in personnel expenses for employee costs and other costs attributable to supporting the growth of the business.
These increases were partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease in professional service expenses primarily related to a decrease in legal services during the three months ended August 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024.
Loss on abandonment of assets
Loss on abandonment of assets increased $1.1 million, or 179%, from $0.6 million for the three months ended August 31, 2024 to $1.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2025. This was driven by the write down of assets to their fair value upon disposal.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net increased $1.0 million, or 33%, from $3.0 million for the three months ended August 31, 2024, to $3.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.4 million increase in loan interest due to loan activity during the three months ended August 31, 2025. These increases were partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in interest income due to an increase in funds held in money market accounts.
Net (loss) income from discontinued operations
Net (loss) income from discontinued operations increased $29.5 million, or 146%, from a net loss of $20.2 million for the three months ended August 31, 2024 to a net income of $9.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 2025 and represents the income statement activity related to the Cloud Services Business. The Cloud Services Business had an increase of $28.3 million in operating income for the comparative periods and a decrease in interest expense of $1.1 million for the comparative periods.

Commentary on Segment Data Comparative Results for the Three Months Ended August 31, 2025 compared to the Three Months Ended August 31, 2024
Data Center Hosting Business
Operating Profit
Data Center Hosting Business operating profit decreased $29.8 million, or 83%, from a profit of $35.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2024 to a profit of $6.0 million for the three months ended August 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a $24.8 million gain on classification of held for sale related to the sale of the Garden City facility during the three months ended August 31, 2024, with no such gain recorded in the current year comparative period. Additionally, cost of revenues increased by approximately $8.0 million for the three months ended August 31, 2025 compared to the prior period, primarily due to an increase of 17% in power cost along with other operating expenses.
HPC Hosting Business
Operating Loss
HPC Hosting Business operating loss decreased $0.9 million, or 31%, from a loss of $2.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2024 to a loss of $2.0 million for the three months ended August 31, 2025. The change is primarily due to revenue generated related to tenant fit-out services, net of expenses.
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our unaudited condensed 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 our 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 our 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 our business.
Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income, Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders, and Adjusted Net Loss from Continuing Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders per Diluted Share
“Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income” and “Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders” are non-GAAP financial measures that represent operating (loss) income and net (loss) income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders, respectively. Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income is Operating (loss) income excluding stock-based compensation, non-recurring repair expenses, diligence, acquisition, disposition and integration expenses, litigation expenses, loss on abandonment of assets, gain on classification of held for sale, accelerated depreciation and amortization, restructuring expenses and other non-recurring expenses that Management believes are not representative of the Company’s expected ongoing costs. Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders is Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income further adjusted for the loss on change in fair value of debt and preferred dividends. We define “Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders per diluted share” as Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders divided by weighted average diluted share count.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
“EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, 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, gain on classification of held for sale, loss on abandonment of assets, loss on change in fair value of debt, preferred dividends, restructuring expenses and other non-recurring expenses that Management believes are not representative of our expected ongoing costs.

Sources of Liquidity
As of August 31, 2025, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $73.9 million and funds restricted for construction expenditures of $2.9 million. Historically, we have incurred losses and have relied on equity and debt financings to fund our operations. We have primarily generated cash in the last 12 months from the proceeds of our term loans, issuances of common stock, preferred stock, convertible promissory notes, senior unsecured convertible notes, debt facilities and the receipt of contractual deposits and revenue payments from customers.
We believe that existing cash balances, cash flows from operations, existing debt facilities, and access to capital markets will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our debt obligations, including any repayment of debt or refinancing of debt, working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, and other contractual obligations, for at least the next twelve months.
Recent Financing Activities
See Note 7 - Debt in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our term loans and other debt instruments.

The shares of the Series G Preferred Stock may be put to the investors from time to time at our discretion during the period commencing on April 30, 2025 (the “Commitment Date”) and terminating on the earlier of (i) the 36-month anniversary of the Commitment Date or (ii) such date as there ceases to be a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock remaining under the Exchange Cap (as defined in the PEPA).
On August 14, 2025, we entered into the First Amendment to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate commitment amount of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock from $150 million to $300 million, and (ii) increase its access to capital by removing the Put Limitation (as defined in the PEPA) that had previously limited the aggregate purchase price for any Put Issuance (as defined in the PEPA) to no more than $75 million.
During the three months ended August 31, 2025, the Company issued and sold 180,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $175.0 million. Additionally, during the three months ended August 31, 2025, a total of 258,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock were converted into approximately 28.2 million shares of our common stock.
During the three months ended August 31, 2025, we received $39.4 million in payments for future data center hosting services.

Funding Requirements
We have experienced net losses through the period ended August 31, 2025. Our transition to profitability is dependent on the successful operation of our business.
We expect to have sufficient liquidity, including cash on hand, payments from customers, access to debt financing, and access to public capital markets, to support ongoing operations and meet our working capital needs for at least the next 12 months and all of our known requirements and plans for cash. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all, which would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our ongoing operations and development plans. We have based our estimates as to how long we expect we will be able to fund our operations on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect, in which case, we would be required to obtain additional financing sooner than currently projected, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses and our operating expenditures will continue to increase as we continue to expand our operations. We believe that the significant investments in property and equipment will remain throughout fiscal year 2026 as we continue construction of our HPC hosting facilities.

Commentary on the change in cash flows between the Three Months Ended August 31, 2025 and Three Months Ended August 31, 2024
Operating Activities
The net cash used in operating activities increased by $6.1 million, or 8%, from net cash used in operating activities of $75.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2024 to net cash used in operating activities of $82.0 million for the three months ended August 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in accounts receivable due to tenant fit-out services revenue as well as a decrease in depreciation and amortization due to the Cloud Services Business being classified as held for sale during the three months ended August 31, 2025. These impacts were partially offset by an increase in stock based compensation expense due to awards granted between the comparative periods as well as a decrease in gain on classification of held for sale as there was no gain on classification of held for sale during the three months ended August 31, 2025 and a decrease in deferred revenue reflecting timing differences between revenue recognition and new customer invoicing during the three months ended August 31, 2025 when compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024.
Investing Activities
The net cash used in investing activities increased by $216.8 million, or 665%, from $32.6 million for the three months ended August 31, 2024, to $249.4 million for the three months ended August 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase of approximately $194.6 million in investments in property and equipment during the three months ended August 31, 2025 as our payments in the current periods for construction of the Polaris Forge 1 data center facilities outpaced the comparative period construction payments. The remaining increase in net cash used in investing activities was due to there being no proceeds from sale of assets during the three months ended August 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024.
Financing Activities
The net cash provided by financing activities increased by $158.9 million, or 97%, from $163.4 million for the three months ended August 31, 2024 to $322.2 million for the three months ended August 31, 2025. The primary reason for the change was an increase in the receipt of net proceeds from offerings of our common and preferred stock of approximately $274.0 million during the three months ended August 31, 2025. Also contributing to the increase was a decrease of $12.0 million in repayments of long-term debt and payments of deferred financing costs during the three months ended August 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $104.9 million in borrowings of long term debt and $12.0 million from SAFE agreements for equity in Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company during the three months ended August 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024 as well as increases in repayment of finance leases of $3.9 million, tax payments for restricted stock upon vesting of $4.5 million, and issuance of preferred stock dividends of $1.5 million during the three months ended August 31, 2025.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk from the information provided in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of August 31, 2025, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, we previously identified a material weakness in the design of our internal controls as we did not design and maintain effective controls around the accounting and assessment of complex financial instruments.
During the quarter ended August 31, 2025, we completed our testing and evaluation of the newly designed and implemented controls around the accounting and assessment of complex financial instruments and determined that as of August 31, 2025, the controls have been in place and have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time for management to conclude the material weakness has been remediated. Remediation measures included hiring additional qualified accounting personnel, as well as engaging with a third-party consultant to assist with analyzing and documenting the treatment of complex financial instruments.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting, other than the remediation steps described above, that occurred during the three months ended August 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings.
The Company, Wes Cummins, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and David Rench, the Company's then Chief Financial Officer, have been named as defendants in a putative securities class action lawsuit in the matter styled, McConnell v. Applied Digital Corporation, et al., Case No. 3:23-cv-1805, filed in August 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the “Securities Lawsuit”). Specifically, the complaint asserts claims pursuant to Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegedly false or misleading statements regarding the company’s business, operations, and compliance policies, including claims that the Company overstated the profitability of its Data Center Hosting Business and its ability to successfully transition into a low-cost cloud services provider and that the Company’s board of directors was not “independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq listing rules. On May 22, 2024, the court appointed lead plaintiff and approved lead counsel, and on July 22, 2024, Lead Plaintiff filed an amended complaint which asserts the same claims based on similar allegations in the original complaint. On September 20, 2024, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On November 20, 2024, Lead Plaintiff filed his opposition to the Motion to Dismiss. On January 3, 2025, the defendants filed their reply in further support of the Motion to Dismiss. On September 8, 2025, the Court issued an order staying the Securities Lawsuit and administratively closing it pending resolution of the Motion to Dismiss. See discussion in “Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies”.
The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse final decision in the Securities Lawsuit. If an unfavorable action were to occur, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.
Derivative Lawsuit
On November 15, 2023, a derivative action was filed in the matter styled, Weich v. Cummins, et al., Case No. A-23-881629-C in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada (the “Derivative Lawsuit”). The Weich complaint named as defendants certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors and its Chief Executive Officer Wesley Cummins and purports to name the Company’s then Chief Financial Officer David Rench as a defendant. The complaint asserted claims for breach of fiduciary duties, corporate waste and unjust enrichment based upon allegations that the defendants caused or allowed the Company to make materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the Company overstated the profitability of the Data Center Hosting Business and its ability to successfully transition into a low-cost cloud services provider and that the Board was not “independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq listing rules. On February 27, 2024, the derivative plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting the same claims as the original complaint.
On June 5, 2024, following briefing and argument on the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Derivative Lawsuit, the Court entered an order granting the defendants’ motion without prejudice and dismissing all claims against all defendants, including the Company, on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to plead (1) demand futility as to each of plaintiff’s claims or (2) a claim for breach of fiduciary duty. The order dismissed all claims against all defendants, including the Company. The plaintiff can seek leave to file an amended complaint but to date has not done so.
The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result were there to be an adverse final decision in this action. If an unfavorable action were to occur, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.
There are no other pending lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of the Company’s consolidated operations.

The Third Amendment amends the PEPA to, among other things, increase the aggregate commitment amount of the shares of the Series G Preferred Stock from $450.0 million to $590.0 million. In connection with the Third Amendment, B. Riley Securities, Inc. acted as sole placement agent to the Company and is entitled to a cash fee equal to 2% of the gross cash proceeds received pursuant to the Third Amendment.
