Management Commentary

During the quarter ended May 31, 2025, we signed two transformative 15-year lease agreements with CoreWeave, an AI hyperscaler, to deliver 250 megawatts of critical IT load at our Ellendale, North Dakota data center campus ("Polaris Forge鈥�1"). These signed lease agreements are expected to generate approximately $7鈥痓颈濒濒颈辞苍 in contracted revenue over the approximate 15-year lease terms. Since the end of the quarter, we鈥檙e pleased to announce that CoreWeave has exercised its lease option for an additional 150鈥疢W. When the lease is signed it would bring the total leased capacity to 400鈥疢W of critical IT load and add approximately $4鈥痓颈濒濒颈辞苍 in contracted revenue which would bring the total contracted revenue to approximately $11鈥痓颈濒濒颈辞苍. Under the option terms, the parties are expected to promptly enter into a new, third lease agreement on substantially the same terms, including the same rent and escalators, as the existing two leases, and the parties are currently finalizing that lease.

鈥淭hese long-term leases mark a defining moment for Polaris Forge 1, one of North America鈥檚 most ambitious data center projects,鈥� said Wes Cummins, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital. 鈥淧urpose-built for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, the campus combines massive power capacity with rapid deployment and is designed to scale up to 1 gigawatt. With the first 100鈥疢W facility scheduled to be operational in Q4 2025, a second 150鈥疢W facility scheduled to come online in mid-2026, and a third 150鈥疢W facility planned for 2027, we believe Polaris Forge鈥�1 will serve as a launchpad for the future of AI infrastructure.鈥�

鈥淏uilding on the momentum from these leases and the surging demand for AI infrastructure, we鈥檙e actively marketing our multi-gigawatt pipeline to a diverse group of customers,鈥� said Wes Cummins, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital. 鈥淥ver the past two years, we鈥檝e streamlined our processes, enhanced our building design for greater flexibility, and established a repeatable approach supported by a strong supply chain. As a result, we鈥檝e reduced projected build times from 24 months to 12 to 14 months, which we believe will enable us to deliver large-scale projects faster and more efficiently.鈥�

鈥淎t the same time, we鈥檙e highlighting the many advantages of building in the Dakotas, along with our unique design that features an innovative closed-loop, direct-to-chip cooling system. This design is expected to achieve a PUE of 1.18 and a near-zero water consumption, intended to ensure exceptional efficiency and sustainability,鈥� Cummins added. 鈥淐ombined with abundant, low-cost energy and over 200 days of naturally occurring free cooling annually, management believes a 100鈥疢W data center customer could save up to approximately $2.7 billion over a thirty-year period as compared to the current industry data centers in other regions. Our strategic decisions in location and design are intended to position Applied Digital to grow dramatically in the Dakotas and across other regions within our pipeline.鈥�

HPC Data Center Hosting Update

Applied Digital鈥檚 HPC Data Center Hosting business designs, builds, and operates next-generation data centers engineered to deliver massive computing power for high-performance compute (HPC) and AI applications. The Company鈥檚 first 100 MW HPC facility at the Polaris Forge鈥�1 campus in Ellendale, North Dakota鈥攁 369,000+ square-foot building鈥攊s expected to offer ultra-low-cost, highly efficient liquid-cooled infrastructure and remains on track to be ready for service in the second half of 2025. In addition, construction is already underway on a second 150鈥疢W data center at the campus. With the transformative two 15-year lease agreements now in place, we believe we are advancing toward finalizing project financing to ensure long-term financial stability and support the campus鈥� continued growth and scalability.

鈥淲e believe the future is very bright for Applied Digital,鈥� said Wes Cummins, Chairman and CEO. 鈥淲e鈥檝e sought to build strong relationships with nearly all major hyperscalers and demonstrate our advanced building capabilities by passing what we believe to be some of the most rigorous technical due diligence and processes imposed by them in the industry. As a result, we have established relationships with several hyperscalers, which should position us for future projects. We鈥檙e confident that our multi-gigawatt pipeline and proven design and construction expertise, combined with hyperscalers that appear to be more active than ever in securing land, power, and data center capacity, should continue to drive our growth.鈥�

Data Center Hosting Update

Applied Digital鈥檚 Data Center Hosting Business operates data centers to provide energized space to crypto mining customers. As of May听31, 2025, the Company鈥檚 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 May听31, 2025, the Company generated $38.0 million in revenue from the Data Center Hosting Business segment, representing an increase of 41%, compared to $26.9 million during the three months ended May听31, 2024. The growth was primarily driven by increased capacity online across the Company鈥檚 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 last quarter, our Board of Directors has determined that we will be 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 for Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2025

Operating Results

Total revenues in the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 were $38.0 million compared to $26.9 million, up 41% from the fiscal fourth quarter 2024. The growth was primarily driven by increased capacity online in the Company's Data Center Hosting Business.

Cost of revenues in the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 were $30.2 million compared to $22.8 million, up 33% from the fiscal fourth quarter 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increased capacity online in the Company's Data Center Hosting Business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 were $28.1 million compared to $13.1 million, up 115% from the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024 driven by the Company鈥檚 overall business growth. This increase was due to increases of $9.4 million in stock based compensation due to accelerated vesting of certain employee stock awards and expense related to performance stock unit grants, $3.4 million in personnel expenses largely driven by increases in headcount to support the business, and $2.3 million in other expenses related to insurance premiums and computer and software expenses.

Interest expense, net in the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 was $4.5 million compared to $13.8 million, down 67%, from the fiscal fourth quarter 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $5.2 million decrease in related party loan interest as there were no related party loans outstanding during the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 with the remaining decrease in interest expense due to the capitalization of interest on interest bearing construction loans.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 was $26.6 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share. This compares to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $35.3 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024.

Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the fiscal fourth quarter 2025, 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 $17.6 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 was $1.0 million compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.2 million for the fiscal fourth quarter 2024.

Financial Results for Fiscal Year Ended May听31, 2025

Operating Results

Total revenues increased $7.6 million, or 6%, from $136.6 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to $144.2 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 which was primarily due to revenue increasing by $20.4 million due to our 180 MW Data Center Hosting Facility in Ellendale, ND operating at full capacity during the current year as opposed to the prior year when that facility experienced a power outage during the second half of fiscal year 2024. This was offset by a decrease in related party revenue of $12.8 million, driven by certain related parties terminating their contracts during the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Cost of revenues decreased $5.2 million, or 5%, from $106.7 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to $101.5 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in energy costs due to more favorable pricing during the current fiscal year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $38.0 million, or 85%, from $45.0 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to $83.1 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by business growth, including approximately $14.5 million in higher stock-based compensation due to accelerated vesting of certain employee stock awards and the recognition of expense related to performance stock unit grants, $11.5 million in increased professional service expenses for legal support on transactions and general operations, $8.4 million in elevated personnel costs from increased headcount, and $3.7 million in additional other selling, general and administrative expenses, mainly from insurance premiums and software costs.

Gain on classification as held for sale was $24.6 million for the fiscal year ended May听31, 2025 due to the receipt of $25.0 million of funds released from escrow in association with the sale of our Garden City facility. Comparatively, there was a $15.4 million loss on classification as held for sale due to the write down of the Garden City assets to their fair market value as part of the planned sale of that facility during the fiscal year ended May听31, 2024.

Interest expense, net decreased $3.0 million, or 17%, from $17.7 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to $14.7 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a $5.7 million decrease in related party loan interest as there were no related party loans outstanding during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, as well as an increase of $2.2 million in interest income due to an increase in funds held in money market accounts. This was partially offset by an increase of approximately $4.9 million of interest expense due to the increase in finance leases and debt obligations between periods.

Loss on conversion of debt was $33.6 million for the fiscal year ended May听31, 2025, due to the difference in the fair value compared 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 increased $78.0 million, or 1,054%, from $7.4 million for the fiscal year ended May听31, 2024 to $85.4 million for the fiscal year ended May听31, 2025. The loss on change in fair value of debt for the fiscal year ended May听31, 2025 was primarily due to a loss of approximately $89.6 million related to the change in fair value of the conversion option derivative of the 2.75% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes during the two week period in which we did not have sufficient authorized shares to settle such conversion fully in shares. This loss was partially offset by a gain of approximately $4.1 million related to the change in the fair value of the YA Notes. The loss on change in fair value of debt for the fiscal year ended May听31, 2024 was due to the valuation associated with our borrowings under the YA Notes.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $161.0 million, or $0.80 per basic and diluted share, for the fiscal year ended May听31, 2025. This compares to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $74.0 million, or $0.65 per basic and diluted share, for the fiscal year ended May听31, 2024.

Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders was $12.5 million or $0.06 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended May听31, 2025. This compares to an adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders of $12.7 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, for the fiscal year ended May听31, 2024.

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鈥檚 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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

鈥淎djusted Operating (Loss) Income鈥� and 鈥淎djusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders鈥� are non-GAAP financial measures that represent operating loss and net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders, respectively.

We define 鈥淎djusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders per diluted share鈥� as Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders divided by weighted average diluted share count.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

鈥淓BITDA鈥� is defined as earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. 鈥淎djusted EBITDA鈥� is defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, non-recurring repair expenses, diligence, acquisition, disposition and integration expenses, litigation expenses, (gain) loss on classification as held for sale, loss on abandonment of assets, loss on conversion of debt, loss on change in fair value of debt and related party debt, respectively, loss on change in fair value of warrants and warrants issued to related parties, respectively, loss on extinguishment of debt and related party debt, respectively, loss on legal settlement, preferred dividends, restructuring expenses and other non-recurring expenses that Management believes are not representative of our expected ongoing costs. 听听
