Michel Amar — Chief Executive Officer

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today as we share our results for the second quarter of 2026 for Digi Power X. I'll start with the highlights of the second quarter, three months ended June 30, 2026: revenues of $6.6 million, reflecting the planned wind-down of legacy operations as the company transitioned to AI compute and colocation revenue. GPU revenue recognized was $1.1 million, representing the company's first GPU bare-metal rental.

Initial fleet of B200 and B300 GPUs deployed at the Columbiana, Alabama facility, and it was started a little bit third week of May till the end of June. It's about five weeks of income. Adjusted EBITDA of positive $3.3 million, an increase of $3.2 million compared to last year, Q2 2025. If you add all the depreciation and the non-cash related items, it brings us to a net loss of $14.4 million for the quarter. Balance sheet and liquidity as of June 30, 2026: cash and cash equivalents of $142.4 million versus last year $1.7 million; working capital of $131 million, representing a $130 million year-over-year increase from June 30, 2025 — basically we had no working capital a year ago; digital assets holdings of $14.3 million; net fixed assets and equipment deposits for the build-out of the data center in Columbiana $127.5 million, an increase of 447% year over year, reflecting capitalized investment at the Columbiana, Alabama facility; no long-term debt; total assets of $279 million versus $37 million a year ago.

Balance sheet and liquidity as of today: the company's cash and cash equivalents position is approximately $150 million today; approximately $110 million year-to-date of capital expenditures deployed towards GPU equipment and data center build-out for contract with Cerebras in Alabama facility. Operational highlights and outlook: at the Columbiana, Alabama AI campus, the company is still targeting Phase One ready for service in December of 2026 and Phase Two at end of Q1 2027.

Through GPU-as-a-service and bare-metal rental, energy sales, and legacy colocation segments, the company anticipates Q3 to increase by approximately over 100% as compared to Q2. Q2 signified a substantial turning point for Digi Power X as the company recognized its first AI revenues ever along with positive adjusted EBITDA and grew substantially year over year. Our balance sheet remained a source of strength for the company as we hold approximately $150 million in cash and cash equivalents as of today, no long-term debt, and we have already deployed approximately $110 million of CapEx year to date into our infrastructure in Columbiana, Alabama.

The company is currently in advanced debt financing discussions for the Alabama data center to advance our path to growth and mitigate dilution. As you know, being the major shareholder since privately 2016, where I invested personal funds of about $8 million, I never sold one share and I'm very sensitive about dilution as it affects me primarily. So I am on the same side of most of shareholders and try to mitigate dilution as much as we can, considering that last year, 12 months ago, we had basically no cash — $1.7 million — we had basically no assets — $37 million.

We had basically no working capital. We had to utilize certain tools like ATM in order to raise cash in order to be eligible for debt financing. Now I'll be ready for a Q&A.

OPERATOR

Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session with questions previously asked by shareholders. First question: what are the remaining tasks that DGXX needs to complete before the company can deliver the first 15 MW to Cerebras?

Michel Amar — Chief Executive Officer

So basically we are done with the first 15 megawatts in terms of equipment purchases. All the long-term equipment has been placed and we are starting to receive them this month. Actually, we are a few weeks earlier than schedule, so we feel very confident that we will be ready by December for Phase One.

OPERATOR

Thank you. Second question, a similar question for Phase Two. What are the major items that need to be complete for delivering the second 25 MW?

Michel Amar — Chief Executive Officer

So we also are basically done for Phase Two. We secured, and as mentioned earlier in our total assets, you saw a big portion of deposits for equipment. We already secured all the long-term equipment to be received November–December, and we believe that we are in good shape to also complete Phase Two by March 2027.

OPERATOR

Thank you. Our third question as relates to your Neo Cloud business and goal of exiting next year with delivery 10 MW in GPU-as-a-service, what are the obstacles to securing leases for these smaller size data centers? Is it capital, permits, location, long lead-time items?

Michel Amar — Chief Executive Officer

So that's a very good, interesting question. So we have no issue of power and permits in the sense that 10 megawatts is not a lot of power in our power infrastructure, so we do have the power and the allocation. GPUs are very, very CapEx-intensive. We started to buy GPUs, and we're running very successfully — 100% uptime — really successful operation for us. And as you know, we placed more GPU orders, the Vera Rubin, that should land early Q1 next year, and that will add additional income on the GPU bare metal.

Good news: in the last few weeks, as you read, Nvidia and most of the banks — BlackRock, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, KKR — have created a fund and actually value residual value for the GPUs, so it's going to be much easier to get debt financing or asset-based financing on GPUs, which will allow us to accelerate our GPU bare-metal program. So we feel comfortable that we get the financing separately from the data center for growth for GPUs.

OPERATOR

Thank you. Our fourth question: given your sites in North Tonawanda and Buffalo, New York, does the one-year moratorium on data centers in New York impact your ability to meet your targets of exiting 2027 delivering on 10 MW for Neo Cloud and an additional 50 MW for colocation data centers for HPC?

Michel Amar — Chief Executive Officer

So great. So I get these questions a lot from many shareholders, and I want you to appreciate, shareholders, that we've been running, deep, combining legacy operations there since 2016 on one site and since 2021 on another site. And we were fully permitted then to run at these two sites. On the moratorium law — which was, you know, it's not a new law, it was always there for the last four years or five years — we are grandfathered in New York. We cannot expand our current footprint of power. So I think we are using 60 megawatts in North Tonawanda and we are using 18 megawatts in Buffalo. So we are allowed to use the same power; we are not allowed for now to expand power. But our goal is to just convert another colocation deal of 40 to 50 megawatts and GPU-as-a-service or bare metal for another 8 to 10 megawatts. That's our goal for 2027. So we have plenty of power there to sync our goal.

OPERATOR

Thank you. Question number five. Please provide an update on the LOI with Omni Pleasants LLC, owner of the Pleasants Power Station, a 1.3 GW power generation facility in West Virginia.

Michel Amar — Chief Executive Officer

So great. The owners of the power plant — one of the owners is A.J. Gupta, who is on my board of directors — and we signed an LOI. It's a monumental asset. 1.3 gigawatts is huge. And I do not want to be involved in the battle there or on the power plant side. I just want to get land access to the electrical infrastructure and utilize utility power of up to 1.3 gigawatts. So I'm working very hard with my board member to try to establish a growth path starting with 100 megawatts up to 1.3 gigawatts because the infrastructure is there, without being involved in potential liabilities of a power plant.

That's why it's a little bit slow. And in any event it would be more for an end of ’27 to 2030 growth pattern event.

OPERATOR

Thank you. Our next question: what is the current strategy for the company's North Carolina property holdings?

Michel Amar — Chief Executive Officer

So we own two lands over there, about 40 acres. We acquired within the last 12 months an additional adjacent land so we can properly design and build an adequate data center there. We are in the process with Duke Energy and the zoning to get all the necessary load studies, permits for a major data center. And we believe that we will be able to utilize that asset towards 2029, 2030 with an additional 150 to 200 megawatts of power. So we are trying to plan our growth through all these sites from now till 2030–31.

And if we just succeed in converting or pivoting in colocation and GPU bare metal, half of these assets will become a huge, huge, huge company.

OPERATOR

Thank you. Next question. What is happening with U.S. Data Centers Inc.? Any updates?

Michel Amar — Chief Executive Officer

Yes. So the reason why U.S. Data Centers owns 48% today, down from 55%, is that we started to raise separately dollars in order to avoid taking the cash that we need 100% on the balance sheet of Digi Power X to fuel current data centers and future data centers' growth. We cannot be distracted in financing basically an equipment business, which is U.S. Data Centers' purpose — to basically design, manufacture modular system mini data centers, prefabricated, that you assemble in different sites.

So we did not want to distract or pull any cash from the Digi Power X pool. So we started to raise money on this separately and we raised money up to a $125 million pre-revenue valuation. We plan to raise a little bit more on a higher valuation. And U.S. has the plan for ’27 to deliver to different sites modular systems like a piece of equipment. So it's a completely different business purpose than Digi Power X, which is in the power and data center processing and GPU bare metal.

OPERATOR

Thank you. And our last question. Is the company still using its ATM vehicle? How were the funds utilized? What are your strategies to mitigate shareholder dilution? And also please provide an update on the company's debt financing discussions.

Michel Amar — Chief Executive Officer

So that's one of the most important concerns from all shareholders, including myself, the biggest shareholder. Okay. Sometimes the ATM is a necessary evil and 100%. I can assure you that with $1.7 million last year of cash, I could never take off, borrow, start any type of AI business. Impossible. So I had to position the company in a way where we could be eligible to attract lenders with a strong balance sheet. Of course, everything has to be done in measures, and I think we raised most of our ATM capital early Q2 at an average of — I'm not going to guarantee the average — but much higher than our stock price today.

I think our last ATM draw was at $7.25 or $7.50 a share. So we did not draw any dollars below that, if my memory serves right. So now we accumulated enough cash to self-fund most of the data center of Alabama, so we are not at risk of execution from a financial perspective. And I think that it was very important to secure the execution of at first data center, which is a real catalyst for us. Then, how can I talk to a lender if I don't have cash sitting on my balance sheet?

Lenders want to see cash, strong balance sheets, specifically this year. So now, because we have a strong balance sheet — and I'll talk about the company debt financing discussions — today we ended up engaging Goldman Sachs, a very reputable bank that has proven to be able to syndicate a lot of financing for very big companies. Okay. And we are very confident that we will land debt financing for not only this project, which we will get cash back — because, as we stated earlier, we already CapExed over $110 million — so we're going to get cash back, we're going to preserve a strong balance sheet.

We find a great partner, financial partner, not only for this year but for next year and the next few years of growth. We have all the cards in our hands, a little bit of faith from our shareholders — the same faith that I give to my company that I invested privately 10 years ago — and we will be in a very amazing situation in the next three months to six months. You have to appreciate that in 12 months we changed the company numbers dramatically.

We went from $1.7 million to $150 million of cash today, plus $110 million of CapEx. That's a huge delta. We went from $37 million of assets to $279 million of assets. You have a company that has real assets with a very, very, in my opinion, low market cap compared to the assets and compared to the cash. So we are very close to execute our plan. We execute — that's our mission. We are focused on the execution. We have all the elements to do so. And next quarter we should have a great update for you guys.

OPERATOR

Thank you. And we have reached the end of the question-and-answer session. Michel, do you have any closing remarks?

Michel Amar — Chief Executive Officer

I think I just did it. That was my closing remarks. You know, I need to be focused and all the team focused. I wanted to add that, subsequently, we are building a very, very small team in Silicon Valley with our CTO, Jag. We have very talented engineers building the layer of software for GPU-as-a-service. We got an office that will be open soon, actually very close to Cerebras, Nvidia, Supermicro. And we plan to offer more — to be all-vertical in all the different layers of this business.

And the team we are building — some come from, like Jack, from Oracle, where he worked for like 11 years there, as a big 2-gigawatt data centers. So I think we are in good shape. We just need to push, focus. The path is there, okay? It's all about execution. And we are closing the loop on the financial answers to mitigate dilution. And that's the goal for — it's my goal. It's the goal for every company. But sometimes you have to, you know, get to a spot where you're eligible for debt financing.

We are there now. Thank you, everyone.
