Applied Digital Corporation Reports $341.9 Million Revenue and $237.1 Million Net Loss for Quarter Ended August 31, 2026

Applied Digital Corporation reported significant financial results for the three months ended August 31, 2026, with total revenue reaching $341.9 million, a substantial increase from $80.9 million in the same period last year. This growth was primarily driven by a $262.8 million increase in services and other revenue, which included approximately $157.2 million from tenant fit-out services and $23 million from GPU hardware sales related to its subsidiary, ChronoScale. Data center rental and other revenue contributed an additional $79.1 million, marking a notable entry into this revenue stream as the HPC Hosting Business commenced operations.

The company's total costs and expenses also rose sharply to $404.3 million from $90.7 million year-over-year, leading to an operating loss of $62.4 million compared to a loss of $9.8 million in the prior year. The increase in costs was attributed to higher expenses associated with tenant fit-out services, depreciation and amortization, and selling, general, and administrative expenses, which surged to $114.7 million from $29.5 million. The net loss attributable to common stockholders was $237.1 million, or $(0.82) per share, compared to a loss of $18.5 million, or $(0.07) per share, in the previous year.

In terms of strategic developments, Applied Digital completed the separation of its cloud services business, which is now part of ChronoScale Holdings Corporation, in May 2026. As of August 31, 2026, the company owned approximately 96% of ChronoScale, which operates in multiple states and provides cloud services to AI and machine learning developers. The company also entered into a strategic partnership with Microsoft to develop AI compute capacity, further expanding its operational capabilities.

Operationally, the company reported a total of 106 MW capacity at its Jamestown facility and 180 MW at its Ellendale facility, both of which are fully operational. The HPC Hosting Business generated $262.6 million in revenue during the quarter, while the Data Center Hosting Business contributed $37.8 million. The company is actively expanding its data center infrastructure, with multiple projects under construction expected to enhance capacity significantly in the coming years.

Looking ahead, Applied Digital anticipates continued growth driven by its HPC Hosting Business and strategic partnerships. The company has sufficient liquidity, with $2.9 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of August 31, 2026, to support ongoing operations and planned capital expenditures. However, it acknowledges the potential challenges posed by regulatory changes and market conditions that could impact its future performance.
