The headline driver was a surge in HPC Hosting Business activity, including $26.30 million in one-time tenant fit-out services for CoreWeave at the fully contracted 400 MW Polaris Forge 1 campus, which carries roughly $11 billion in anticipated lease revenue over approximately 15-year terms. Those installation revenues came with thin margins, keeping Adjusted EBITDA at a slim $537,000, but management is focused on the ramp ahead: the first 100 MW building at Polaris Forge 1 is on track for Q4 2025 operational readiness, with lease revenues expected to follow. Post-quarter, Applied Digital also announced a $5 billion lease agreement with an investment-grade hyperscaler at its planned Polaris Forge 2 campus, underscoring a buildout trajectory management believes can deliver a $1 billion NOI run rate within five years.
Key Takeaways
- • $26.3 million in one-time tenant fit-out revenue from HPC Hosting Business drove majority of revenue growth
- • Data Center Hosting revenue grew 9% YoY driven by increased capacity online
- • Bitcoin prices hitting all-time highs supporting demand for hosting services
- • $16.6 million increase in stock-based compensation from accelerated vesting drove SG&A surge
