Insights

The Q2 FY25 results present a mixed financial picture. Revenue grew 51% year-over-year to $63.9 million, with Cloud Services revenue surging 523% to $27.7 million. However, the substantial net loss of $138.7 million was largely driven by non-operational factors including $87.2 million loss on debt fair value changes and $25.4 million loss on debt conversion.

The transformative $5 billion Macquarie preferred equity facility is strategically significant, providing capital for expansion while maintaining 85% ownership of HPC assets. This structure, combined with the $450 million convertible note offering, positions APLD with a robust $314.6 million cash position to fund growth initiatives.

Key metrics like Adjusted EBITDA showed strong improvement, up 93% to $21.4 million, indicating healthy underlying operational performance despite the headline losses.

The strategic positioning in the HPC/AI infrastructure space shows remarkable foresight. With Morgan Stanley projecting a 36 GW power shortfall for U.S. data centers by 2028, APLD's early moves to secure power capacity and build infrastructure put them ahead of the curve. The Ellendale facility's energization milestone and planned 400 MW total capacity represent significant competitive advantages in a market where power access is becoming a critical bottleneck.

The validation from industry giants like NVIDIA and Macquarie underscores the technical merit of APLD's liquid-cooled infrastructure design. The company's three-pronged approach across HPC, Cloud Services and Data Center Hosting provides diversified exposure to the explosive growth in AI computing demand, while the purpose-built facilities for AI workloads demonstrate technical leadership in a rapidly evolving market.

The market positioning and timing of APLD's expansion couldn't be more strategic given the accelerating AI infrastructure demands. The company's ability to secure major institutional backing from Macquarie, CIM Group and NVIDIA validates their business model and provides a significant competitive moat through guaranteed capital access. While the company is still in late-stage negotiations for the Ellendale campus tenancy, the severe industry-wide power constraints suggest strong bargaining power with potential hyperscale customers.

The 523% growth in Cloud Services revenue indicates successful execution in capturing the AI computing wave. The combination of secured power capacity, purpose-built infrastructure and strong balance sheet positions APLD as a potential major player in the next generation of digital infrastructure, particularly as power constraints become an increasingly critical factor in the AI compute landscape.

APLD ELN-02 Holdings LLC issued a Promissory Note for the full $150 million in gross proceeds on November 27, 2024, and simultaneously repaid APLD Holdings 2 LLC's obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility with CIM Group, removing encumbrances on assets outside of APLD ELN-02 Holdings LLC, as well as the parent guarantee.
  • Completed a $450 million offering of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, including $75 million from an option exercised by initial purchasers. Net proceeds were approximately $435.2 million, with $84 million allocated for share repurchases and the remainder for general corporate purposes.

Management Commentary

"We remain in late stage negotiations for our Ellendale campus," said Applied Digital Chairman and CEO Wes Cummins. "Over the past year, we've gained valuable insights into the thorough and deliberate approach hyperscalers take. While their timelines may extend longer than initially expected, we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering our 400 MW data center campus on time and within budget."

"The rapid expansion of hyperscale data centers, driven by the growing demand for AI capabilities, is presenting significant challenges to electricity availability in the U.S. According to a recent Morgan Stanley report, there could be a shortfall of approximately 36 GW in power availability for U.S. data centers by 2028. To put this into perspective, that’s equivalent to the output of around 36 nuclear power plants. Addressing this issue is not straightforward, as adding new capacity requires lengthy planning, regulatory approvals, and the development of new generation and transmission infrastructure, processes that can span years or even decades. Based on these dynamics, we believe that much of the U.S.’s currently available excess power could be under contract within the next few years."

"Applied Digital was one of the first companies to recognize this growing demand for power and data centers. Anticipating these needs, we began construction of our facilities ahead of many hyperscalers fully grasping the shifting demand landscape. As a result, we believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on these trends. Our strategy has been further validated over the past year by securing strategic investments from CIM Group, NVIDIA, and now Macquarie Asset Management, a division of one of the world’s largest infrastructure investors. We believe these investments not only validate our vision and approach but also lower our cost of capital and accelerate the development of our pipeline, transforming it into highly valuable assets for our shareholders."

"Our vision is to establish a platform for building and operating multiple HPC data centers. This journey began with our Ellendale campus and continues with the development of additional campuses. We are proud of the significant progress achieved this quarter and look forward to sharing further updates as the year unfolds."

Cloud Services Update

Applied Digital’s Cloud Services Business provides high-performance computing power for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. During the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company generated $27.7 million in revenues from the Cloud Services Business segment, representing an increase of 523% compared to $4.5 million during the three months ended November 30, 2023.

HPC Data Center Hosting Update

Applied Digital’s HPC Data Center Hosting Business designs, builds, and operates next-generation data centers designed to provide massive computing power and support high-performance computing applications within a cost-effective model. During the prior fiscal year, the Company broke ground on its first 100 MW HPC facility in Ellendale, North Dakota. The new 369,000+ square-foot building will provide ultra-low-cost and highly efficient liquid-cooled infrastructure for HPC applications.

Applied Digital is in late-stage discussions with multiple hyperscalers to finalize a lease agreement for its 100 MW facility, which is currently under construction. Additionally, we plan to bring an extra 300 MW online through two additional buildings currently in the design stage. This will ultimately increase Ellendale's total HPC capacity to 400 MW.

Data Center Hosting Update

Applied Digital’s Data Center Hosting Business operates data centers to provide energized space to crypto mining customers. As of November 30, 2024, the Company’s 106 MW facility in Jamestown, N.D., and 180 MW facility in Ellendale, N.D., are operating at full capacity.

During the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company generated $36.2 million in revenue from the Data Center Hosting Business segment.

Financial Results for Fiscal Second Quarter 2025

Operating Results

Total revenues in the fiscal second quarter 2025 were $63.9 million, up 51% from the fiscal second quarter 2024. The growth was primarily driven by the continued expansion of the Company’s Cloud Services business during the latter period, fueled by the deployment of additional GPU clusters.

Cost of revenues in the fiscal second quarter 2025 was $52.4 million compared to $29.8 million in the fiscal second quarter 2024. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily driven by the growth in the business as more facilities were energized and additional services were provided to customers compared to the same year-ago quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the fiscal second quarter 2025 were $29.8 million compared to $20.3 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2024.

Interest expense, net in the fiscal second quarter of 2025 increased $4.9 million, or 186%, from $2.6 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023 to $7.5 million for the three months ended November 30, 2024. The increase in interest expense, net was primarily driven by an increase in finance leases and interest-bearing loans between periods.

Loss on conversion of debt was $25.4 million for the three months ended November 30, 2024 due to the difference in fair value to the price at which the Yorkville Promissory Notes (the "YA Notes") were converted. There was no such activity recorded in the prior year comparative period.

Loss on change in fair value of debt was $87.2 million for the three months ended November 30, 2024 due to the adjustments to the fair value of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes during the 2 week period in which the conversion option was recorded as a derivative, prior to the Company receiving shareholder approval on November 20, 2024 to increase authorized share count. The loss on change in fair value of debt was also driven by adjustments to the fair value of the YA Notes. There was no such activity recorded in the prior year comparative period.

Net loss for the fiscal second quarter 2025 was $139.4 million, or $0.66 per basic and diluted share, based on a weighted average share count during the quarter of 209.6 million shares. This compares to a net loss of $10.5 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, based on a weighted average share count of 109.7 million shares for the fiscal second quarter 2024.

Adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP measure, for the fiscal second quarter of 2025, was $12.6 million or adjusted net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.06, based on a weighted average share count during the quarter of approximately 209.6 million shares. This compares to an adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP financial measure, of $5.0 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the fiscal second quarter of 2024 based on a weighted average share count during the quarter of approximately 109.7 million shares.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the fiscal second quarter 2025 was $21.4 million compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $11.1 million for the fiscal second quarter 2024.

Balance Sheet

As of November 30, 2024, the Company had $314.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, along with $479.6 million in debt.

Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented under GAAP, we are presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures. We are providing these non-GAAP financial measures to disclose additional information to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations by providing perspective on results absent one-time or significant non-cash items. We utilize these measures in the business planning process to understand expected operating performance and to evaluate results against those expectations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provide management and investors with an additional understanding of our business operating results regarding factors and trends affecting our business and provide a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.

These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental measures to the Company’s performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and therefore, are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, we caution investors that the non-GAAP financial measures as used by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, investors should be aware that when evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures, these measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be items that we may exclude for purposes of our non-GAAP financial measures and we may in the future cease to exclude items that we have historically excluded for purposes of our non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, we may determine to modify the nature of the adjustments to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures. Investors should review the non-GAAP reconciliations provided below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

Change in Presentation

Beginning in the third quarter of 2024, we updated our presentation of non-GAAP measures. As a result of this updated presentation, we no longer exclude start-up costs as an adjustment to Operating loss, Net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation, or EBITDA in our calculation of Adjusted operating loss, Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation, Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating loss, Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation, and Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation per diluted share are non-GAAP measures and are defined below.

Adjusted Operating Loss, Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation, and Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation per diluted share

“Adjusted Operating Loss” and “Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation” are non-GAAP financial measures that represent operating loss and net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation, respectively. Adjusted Operating Loss is Operating loss excluding stock-based compensation, non-recurring repair expenses, diligence, acquisition, disposition and integration expenses, litigation expenses, non-recurring research and development expenses, loss on abandonment of assets, loss/(gain) on classification of held for sale, accelerated depreciation and amortization, loss on legal settlement, as well as other non-recurring expenses that Management believes are not representative of the Company’s expected ongoing costs. Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation is Adjusted Operating Loss further adjusted for the loss on conversion of debt, loss on change in fair value of debt and loss on the extinguishment of debt. We define “Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation per diluted share” as Adjusted net loss attributable to Applied Digital Corporation divided by weighted average diluted share count.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

“EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, non-recurring repair expenses, diligence, acquisition, disposition and integration expenses, litigation expenses, research and development expenses, loss/(gain) on classification of held for sale, loss on abandonment of assets, loss on conversion of debt, loss on change in the fair value of debt, loss on extinguishment of debt, and legal settlement as well as other non-recurring expenses that Management believes are not representative of our expected ongoing costs.
