DALLAS, Oct. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Applied Digital Corporation (Nasdaq: APLD) (“Applied Digital” or the “Company”), a designer, builder, and operator of high-performance, sustainably engineered data centers and colocation services for artificial intelligence, cloud, networking and blockchain workloads, reported financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended August 31, 2025. The Company also provided operational updates.
Fiscal First Quarter 2026 Continuing Operations Financial Highlights
- Revenues: $64.2 million, up 84% from the prior year comparable period
- Net loss attributable to common stockholders: $27.8 million, down 275% from the prior year comparable period
- Net loss attributable to common stockholders per basic and diluted share: $0.11, down 200% from the prior year comparable period
- Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders: $7.6 million
- Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders per diluted share: $0.03
- Adjusted EBITDA: $0.5 million
Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders, Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders per Diluted Share, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of each of these Non-GAAP Measures to the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) is set forth below. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.”
Recent Highlights
- Finalized a new lease agreement with CoreWeave, Inc. (“CoreWeave”), for an additional 150 megawatts (“MW”) at our Polaris Forge 1 campus in Ellendale, North Dakota (“Polaris Forge 1”), which is now fully leased. This new lease agreement with CoreWeave brings Applied Digital’s total anticipated contracted lease revenue for Polaris Forge 1 to approximately $11 billion, which includes $7 billion in revenue from the initial two approximately 15-year leases executed in May of this year.
- Nearing completion of our 100 MW building at Polaris Forge 1, which remains on time and on budget, while also initiating the tenant fit-out for CoreWeave. Additionally, we began construction on the next 150 MW building at our Polaris Forge 1 campus.
Subsequent to the Quarter
- Drew an initial $112.5 million from our $5 billion preferred equity facility with Macquarie Asset Management (“MAM” or “Macquarie”) to fund the completion of Polaris Forge 1, reduce future equity funding requirements, and establish a clear pathway to scale additional campuses.
- Secured $50 million in funding from Macquarie Equipment Capital, Inc. for our approximately $3 billion, 300 MW IT load AI Factory campus near Harwood, North Dakota (“Polaris Forge 2”).
- Broke ground on Polaris Forge 2. The initial 200 MW is expected to begin to come online in 2026 and reach full capacity in 2027, with the campus designed for future expansion.
- Raised an additional $200 million from an expanded offering of our Series G Preferred Stock.
Management Commentary
During the quarter ended August 31, 2025, we signed an additional 150 MW lease for our Polaris Forge 1 campus, bringing the full 400 MW of critical IT load under contract with CoreWeave and securing approximately $11 billion in prospective lease revenue over the approximately 15 year terms. We believe this campus has the potential to expand significantly, with additional power allocations expected to push capacity beyond 1 gigawatt (“GW”) starting in 2028 to 2030.
“We feel this third lease validates our platform and execution, positioning Applied Digital as a trusted strategic partner to the world’s largest technology companies,” said Wes Cummins, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital. “With hyperscalers expected to invest approximately $350 billion into AI deployment this year, we believe we are in a prime position to serve as the modern-day picks and shovels of the intelligence era.”
In addition, we broke ground on our second North Dakota campus, near the City of Harwood, named Polaris Forge 2, which will initially have two 150 MW buildings, where we plan to utilize 200 MW for IT loads in its initial phase of delivery. We believe this campus could ultimately scale to 1 GW, pending future power agreements. We are currently in advanced discussions with an investment-grade hyperscaler and have aligned on many of the key lease terms with them. Should the lease be executed, the customer would hold first right of refusal on the full 1 GW of capacity, contingent on securing additional power.
When signed, the initial 200 MW alone would bring our total leased capacity to 600 MW across two sites with two major hyperscalers. Once both campuses are anchored by long-term hyperscaler commitments, we feel Applied Digital will be strongly positioned to lead the next wave of AI infrastructure development, supported by multi-year lease agreements that provide scale and visibility.
Our team remains focused on securing capital at the lowest possible cost, building repeatable financing structures, and positioning the Company to scale development across the United States. As reflected on our balance sheet, we’ve now built and funded over $1.6 billion in property and equipment.
Building on that momentum, we continue to make significant progress on project finance for our Polaris Forge 1 campus. As we recently disclosed, under our agreement with Macquarie Asset Management, one of the world’s leading infrastructure finance firms, we have secured a structure that permits us to recycle into future developments a portion of the substantial equity we have invested in the campus. We remain on track in our project financing process, as briefly discussed on our last earnings call.
We continue to evaluate expansion opportunities across new states and regions, which should position us to move quickly as demand continues to scale. We are also committed to minimizing our environmental impact through advanced design innovations, including our closed-loop, direct-to-chip liquid-cooling design that lowers water use to less than a single household. In addition, we are investing in infrastructure upgrades intending to ease pressure on local utilities and responsibly manage electric demand at each site. Our vision is for Applied Digital to be known as a job creator, tax contributor, and trusted community partner because we believe growth only matters if it’s done the right way.
Looking ahead, we believe Applied Digital is poised to capitalize on a generational opportunity. With a multi-GW pipeline, active and increasing hyperscaler interest, and long-term contracted visibility, we are positioned to scale rapidly at a moment when demand for advanced infrastructure is reaching unprecedented levels worldwide.
We believe we are on a projected annualized NOI run rate of approximately $500 million once Polaris Forge 1 is fully operational. The tenant signing at our second campus should put us firmly on the path toward our $1 billion NOI target within the next five years. At this trajectory, we believe we are positioned to become a leading force in the future of AI infrastructure and on track to evolve into the next AI-focused data center REIT as the business continues to mature.
HPC Hosting Update
Applied Digital’s HPC Hosting Business continues to advance rapidly. Our first 100 MW facility at Polaris Forge 1 remains on track to be operational in calendar Q4 2025, with technical fit-out activities underway this quarter and continuing into next. These installations contributed approximately $26 million in revenue this quarter and are expected to ramp significantly next quarter as we approach the building’s ready-for-service date. While these are one-time, low-margin installation payments, they are a meaningful signal of our ability to deliver the full suite of data center capabilities. We believe they also reflect the trust our customer places in us as a full-stack developer of AI data centers. Lease revenues are expected to ramp later this year as equipment installation is completed. Our second 150 MW facility is scheduled for mid-2026, followed by our third 150 MW facility planned for 2027.
All three facilities are designed to deliver ultra-low-cost, highly efficient liquid-cooled infrastructure, featuring a closed-loop, direct-to-chip liquid cooling system expected to achieve a Design PUE of 1.18 and near-zero water consumption. Combined with abundant, low-cost energy and more than 200 days of naturally occurring free cooling annually, we estimate a 100 MW customer could save up to $2.7 billion over 30 years compared to traditional data centers.
Data Center Hosting Update
Applied Digital’s Data Center Hosting Business operates data centers to provide energized space to Bitcoin/crypto mining customers. As of August 31, 2025, the Company’s 106 MW facility in Jamestown, N.D., and 180 MW facility in Ellendale, N.D., are operating at full capacity.
During the three months ended August 31, 2025, the Company generated $37.9 million in revenue from the Data Center Hosting Business segment, representing an increase of 9% compared to the $34.8 million during the three months ended August 31, 2024. The growth was primarily driven by increased capacity online across the Company’s Data Center Hosting facilities.
We are very pleased with our hosting business as it continues to operate more efficiently, and with Bitcoin prices hitting all-time highs, we believe demand for these services remains robust.
Cloud Services Business Update
As we announced in the prior fiscal year, at the direction of our Board of Directors we are reviewing strategic options for this business. That process remains ongoing, and we will provide an update once we have more information to share with shareholders.
Financial Results from Continuing Operations for Fiscal First Quarter 2026
Operating Results
Total revenues in the fiscal first quarter 2026 were $64.2 million compared to $34.8 million, up 84% from the fiscal first quarter 2025. The increase was primarily due to $26.3 million of 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 Business and is due to performance improvements compared to the three months ended August 31, 2024.
Cost of revenues in the fiscal first quarter 2026 were $55.6 million compared to $22.7 million, up 144% from the fiscal first quarter 2025. Approximately $25.0 million of the increase in cost of revenue was associated with tenant fit-out services for our HPC Hosting Business while the remaining increase was associated with our Data Center Hosting Business and other expenses directly attributable to generating revenue.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the fiscal first quarter 2026 were $29.2 million compared to $11.0 million, up 165% from the fiscal first quarter of 2025 driven by the Company’s overall business growth. This increase was due to increases of $16.6 million in stock based compensation due to accelerated vesting of certain employee stock awards and $3.9 million 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.
Loss on abandonment of assets in the fiscal first quarter 2026 were $1.8 million compared to $0.6 million, up 179% from the fiscal first quarter of 2025 driven by the write down of assets to their fair value upon disposal.
Interest expense, net in the fiscal first quarter 2026 was $3.9 million compared to $3.0 million, up 33%, from the fiscal first quarter 2025. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in loan interest due to loan activity during the three months ended August 31, 2025, partially offset by an increase in interest income due to an increase in funds held in money market accounts.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fiscal first quarter 2026 was $27.8 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share. This compares to a net income attributable to common stockholders of $15.9 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share for the fiscal first quarter of 2025.
Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the fiscal first quarter 2026, was $7.6 million or adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders per basic and diluted share of $0.03. This compares to an adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders, a non-GAAP financial measure, of $0.8 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, for the fiscal first quarter of 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the fiscal first quarter 2026 was $0.5 million compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $6.3 million for the fiscal first quarter 2025.
Balance Sheet
As of August 31, 2025, the Company had $114.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, along with $687.3 million in debt. This does not include $362.5 million dollars in proceeds from our financings that occurred subsequent to quarter end.

Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial 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 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 earnings release 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 other 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.
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.
