Insights
The sequential revenue growth of 16% reported by Applied Digital Corporation is a strong indicator of the company's operational performance. The revenue increase to $42.2 million, driven by the full quarter of revenue from the Ellendale facility and the commencement of revenue generation at the Garden City facility, suggests an effective scaling of operations. However, the net loss of $10.5 million, despite being an improvement from the previous year's $26.8 million loss, highlights ongoing challenges in achieving profitability. The adjusted EBITDA of $10.6 million is a positive sign, as it reflects a measure of the company's operational profitability without the distortion of non-operating expenses. It is essential to consider the capital-intensive nature of the datacenter industry, which often results in high depreciation and amortization expenses, impacting net income figures.
The balance sheet shows a concerning level of debt at $42.8 million, although the company has a reasonable amount of cash and cash equivalents at $34.6 million. The additional $11.1 million in customer prepayments and $23.1 million in net proceeds from the ATM offering could provide some liquidity; however, the completion of the ATM offering suggests that equity financing options may be limited in the near term. The capital expenditures of $45.8 million and finance lease payments reflect the company's investment in expanding its datacenter capacity, which is critical for future growth but also adds to the cash burn rate.
The datacenter hosting and cloud services market is highly competitive and capital-intensive, with significant barriers to entry due to the need for advanced infrastructure and energy resources. Applied Digital's focus on High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI workloads positions it in a niche but rapidly growing segment of the market. Their strategy to energize large-scale facilities and expand hosting capacity is aligned with the increasing demand for HPC resources, particularly for AI and machine learning applications. The robust pipeline in the Cloud Services segment and the ongoing construction of a new 100 MW HPC facility signal the company's commitment to growth and its ability to attract high-value clients.
However, the delay in delivery of networking components for GPU clusters, which has impacted the company's revenue and EBITDA guidance for fiscal year 2024, underscores the risks associated with supply chain disruptions. Investors should note that while the company's revenue run rate is expected to grow significantly by the end of fiscal year 2024, these projections are contingent upon the resolution of supply chain issues and the commissioning of additional clusters. The market will be watching closely to see if Applied Digital can achieve these ambitious targets without further equity dilution, as indicated by management.
Applied Digital's operational updates, particularly the long-term Retail Electric Service Agreement with TerraForm Power, are critical in evaluating the company's long-term sustainability and cost structure. Datacenters are energy-intensive operations and securing cost-effective energy sources is vital for maintaining profitability. The agreement suggests that Applied Digital is strategically managing its energy requirements, which is a positive sign for potential cost savings and operational efficiency. The focus on an ultra-low cost and highly efficient liquid-cooled infrastructure for its HPC applications also indicates that the company is investing in technologies to reduce cooling costs, which are a significant portion of a datacenter's operating expenses.
However, the increase in cost of revenues due to higher energy costs highlights the vulnerability of the business model to fluctuations in energy prices. Investors should consider the impact of energy market volatility on Applied Digital's margins, especially as the company scales up its operations and energy consumption.

Management Commentary
“Our second quarter results demonstrate the continued execution of our growth strategy and the meaningful progress we’ve made across our business,” said Applied Digital Chairman and CEO Wes Cummins. “Our Garden City facility was energized in October, and we remain on track to reach 500 MW across our three hosting facilities in the near term. We broke ground on our first 100 MW high-performance compute facility in Ellendale, North Dakota. The pipeline of opportunities in our Cloud Services segment remains robust, and we continued to deploy GPUs for existing customer agreements during the quarter.”
“Looking ahead, we remain well-positioned to capitalize on the growing opportunities from both traditional customers and emerging HPC applications as a leading next-gen datacenter provider with differentiated capabilities to meet the sophisticated and demanding requirements for businesses and enterprises to run AI workloads and other emerging HPC applications.”

Cash Flows
The Company experienced a net decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash during the six months ended November 30, 2023 of
- Purchase of property, equipment, and other assets of
$45.8 million , driven by construction of the Company's HPC hosting datacenters. - Finance lease prepayments of
$19.4 million and finance leases recurring payments of$13.1 million , primarily driven by the Company's leases of hosting equipment for Cloud services. - Debt repayments of approximately
$50.0 million .
These were partially offset by the following:
- Net cash received from operating activities of
$9.1 million , driven by the recurring operations of the business. - Borrowings of
$12.7 million driven by draws on the Company's loan from B. Riley Commercial Capital and funding received from the Vantage Garden City Loan. - Net cash received from the issuance of common stock of
$97.9 million under the Company's at-the-market sales agreement.
Guidance
Due to the delayed delivery of certain networking components for GPU clusters, we now expect our revenue and EBITDA to be below the low end of our previously guided range for fiscal year 2024. While the delay in network components did have a significant impact on the timing of commissioning clusters and on our revenue and EBITDA, deliveries of these key components improved significantly in recent weeks. We now expect to exit fiscal year 2024 at an annual revenue run rate of approximately

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among other things, future operating and financial performance, product development, market position, business strategy and objectives. These statements use words, and variations of words, such as "continue," "build," "future," "increase," "drive," "believe," "look," "ahead," "confident," "deliver," "outlook," "expect," and "predict."

You are cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations of future events and thus are inherently subject to uncertainty. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from the Company's expectations and projections. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include: decline in demand for our products and services; the volatility of the crypto asset industry; the inability to comply with developments and changes in regulation; cash flow and access to capital; and maintenance of third party relationships.

Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and our related earnings call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures. See below for discussion on each non-GAAP metric.
Adjusted Operating Loss and Adjusted Net Loss
“Adjusted Operating Loss” is a non-GAAP measure that represents operating loss excluding stock-based compensation, loss from legal settlement, non-recurring professional service costs and other non-recurring expenses. “Adjusted Net Loss” is a non-GAAP measure that represents net loss excluding stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on legal settlement, non-recurring professional services costs and other non-recurring expenses. We believe these are useful metrics as they provide additional information regarding factors and trends affecting our business and provide perspective on results absent one-time or significant non-cash items. However, Applied Digital’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Applied Digital’s computation of Adjusted Operating Loss and Adjusted Net Loss may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate Adjusted Operating Loss and Adjusted Net Loss in the same fashion.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted Operating Loss and Adjusted Net Loss should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Applied Digital compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using Adjusted Operating Loss and Adjusted Net Loss on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of operating loss to Adjusted Operating Loss and net loss to Adjusted Net Loss above and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Applied Digital’s business.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
“EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss from legal settlement, non-recurring professional service costs, and other non-recurring expenses. These costs have been adjusted as they are not indicative of business operations. Adjusted EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of Applied Digital’s performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Applied Digital believes that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. We also believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful metrics to investors because they provide additional information regarding factors and trends affecting our business, which are used in the business planning process to understand expected operating performance, to evaluate results against those expectations, and because of their importance as measures of underlying operating performance, as the primary compensation performance measure under certain programs and plans. However, you should be aware that when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, Applied Digital may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, Applied Digital’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Applied Digital’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Applied Digital compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA above and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Applied Digital’s business.
