Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “will,” “may,” “can,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “seek,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “point to,” “project,” “predict,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “potential” and other similar words and expressions of the future. Statements that contain these words and other statements that are forward-looking in nature should be read carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of future results of operations or of financial positions, or state other “forward-looking” information.

These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which are based on currently available information. Our actual results, and the assumptions on which we relied, could prove materially different from our expectations. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or actual operating results. There are a number of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by us. These factors include, but are not limited to:

•our ability to complete construction of our HPC facilities at each of the Polaris Forge, Polaris Forge 2 and Delta Forge 1 campuses;

•our dependence on principal customers, including our ability to execute leases with key customers, including leases for our data center campuses;

•our ability to close the sale of our Cloud Services Business;

•availability of financing to continue to grow our business;

•labor and other workforce shortages and challenges;

•power or other supply disruptions and equipment failures;

•the addition or loss of significant customers or material changes to our relationships with these customers;

•delays or denials of entitlements or permits, including zoning, siting, utility and other permits, or other delays resulting from requirements of public agencies and utility companies;

•our sensitivity to general economic conditions including changes in disposable income levels and consumer spending trends;

•our ability to timely and successfully build new data center facilities with the appropriate contractual margins and efficiencies;

•our ability to continue to grow sales in our hosting business;

•volatility of cryptoasset prices; and

•uncertainties of cryptoasset regulation policy; and

•our ability to keep up with the use and continued pace of developments in AI and evolving data center requirements and regulatory frameworks for AI.

You should carefully review the risks described in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on July 30, 2025, as well as any other cautionary language in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect, which may be material, on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

A comparison of our results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2025 can be found under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28, 2025, filed with the SEC on April 14, 2025.

Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor are we able to assess the impact of all of these risk factors on our business or the extent to which any risk factor, or combination of risk factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. These risks are not exhaustive.

Executive Overview

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Business Overview

We are a U.S. designer, developer, and operator of high-performance, sustainably engineered data centers and colocation services for artificial intelligence (“AI”), networking, and blockchain workloads. Headquartered in Dallas, TX, and founded in 2021, the Company combines hyperscale expertise, proprietary waterless cooling, and rapid deployment capabilities to deliver secure, scalable compute at industry-leading speed and efficiency, while creating economic opportunities in underserved communities through its award-winning Polaris Forge AI Factory model. We operate in three distinct business segments, data center hosting (the "Data Center Hosting Business"), cloud services (the “Cloud Services Business”) and HPC data center hosting (the "HPC Hosting Business"), all of which are included in our consolidated financial statements and continuing operations, as further discussed below. Management considers the Data Center Hosting Business and the HPC Hosting Business to be its core operations for long-run strategic and performance evaluation purposes.

The Company consolidates a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity's operation in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidations. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE by considering the purpose and design of the entity and the risks the entity was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. The Company also evaluates its economic interests in the VIE.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, we determined that the Cloud Services Business, which operates primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, met the criteria to be classified as “held for sale.” As a sale would represent a strategic shift for the Company the Cloud Services Business was classified as discontinued operations.

On December 30, 2025, the Company announced it had entered into a non-binding term sheet for a proposed business combination of the Cloud Services Business with EKSO Bionics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EKSO) (“EKSO”), which, once closed, will go forward as ChronoScale Corporation (“ChronoScale”), an accelerated compute platform purpose-built to support AI workloads (the “Proposed Transaction”).

On February 15, 2026, APLD Intermediate HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“APLD Intermediate”), APLD ChronoScale HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of APLD Intermediate (“Contributor”), each a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, and Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, which at the time of the closing of the Proposed Transaction, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Contributor, entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement with EKSO (the “Contribution and Exchange Agreement”) for purposes of consummating the Proposed Transaction (the “Business Combination”), as a result of which (i) Applied Digital Cloud Corporation will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Ekso, (ii) Ekso will, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, continue as the parent of the combined company, and (iii) Ekso will change its name to ChronoScale.

During the quarter ended February 28, 2026, we determined that the Cloud Services Business, which had previously been classified and reported as held for sale in accordance with ASC 360-10 and discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, no longer met the criteria for classification as held for sale and discontinued operations due to the Company entering into the Contribution and Exchange Agreement.

We have restated our comparative financial statements for prior periods to reflect this change in classification. The statements of operations, cash flows, and segment information for prior periods have been adjusted to include the results of the Cloud Services Business within continuing operations rather than within discontinued operations, and previously classified assets and liabilities of the Cloud Services Business are presented within the respective held‑and‑used asset and liability line items as of each balance sheet date.

Revenues, income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), total assets and liabilities, and cash flows previously reported as related to discontinued operations and asset and liabilities held for sale of the Cloud Services Business are now

reported in the corresponding line items within continuing operations and held‑and‑used asset and liability categories for all periods presented. There was no material impact on our previously reported net income, total assets, or equity as a result of this reclassification.

The reclassification was necessary because the Cloud Services Business no longer met the requirements for held for sale presentation and discontinued operations presentation as set forth in ASC 360-10 and ASC 205-20, respectively, as the planned sale did not occur and the segment remains part of the Company’s ongoing operations as of February 28, 2026.

Management has further determined that the operating characteristics and strategic role of the Cloud Services Business differ meaningfully from the Company’s long-run core operations of building and developing data center infrastructure. As a result, while the segment continues to be actively managed and reported as part of consolidated results and continuing operations, management evaluates long-term operating performance and core business trends using financial measures that exclude the results of this segment, as discussed below.

Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business

Regulatory Environment

The regulatory landscape surrounding AI and blockchain hosting services is evolving rapidly, and we anticipate increased scrutiny and potential regulation in the near and long term. Any such developments may significantly impact our business and operations in ways that are difficult to predict.

Governments and regulatory bodies are considering measures to ensure the responsible development and deployment of AI systems, including transparency, accountability, and fairness guidelines. For example, in the U.S Senate, committees of jurisdiction have passed several AI bills that establish industry standards and impose significant obligations in relation to the use of AI systems. On the state level, several U.S. states have considered AI legislation, which aims to reduce risk associated with the use of AI; while certain states have passed comprehensive AI legislation. On September 29, 2025, California passed the Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act into law, which requires certain AI companies to fulfill transparency requirements and report AI-related safety incidents, among other things. In Europe, the EU AI Act has been adopted, portions of which ha

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should read the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

A comparison of our results of operations and cash flows for fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2023 can be found under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on August 30, 2024.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Applied Digital Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Business Overview

We are a U.S. designer, developer, and operator of next-generation digital infrastructure across North America. We provide digital infrastructure solutions to the rapidly growing industries of high-performance computing ("HPC") and artificial intelligence ("AI"). As of May 31, 2025, we operated in two distinct business segments, Blockchain data center hosting (the "Data Center Hosting Business") and HPC data center hosting (the "HPC Hosting Business"), as further discussed below. During the fiscal year 2025, we determined that our Cloud Services Business met the criteria for held for sale and discontinued operations. As such, the results of the Cloud Services Business, which was previously included as a reportable segment, are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.

Business Update

Data Center Hosting Business

Our Data Center Hosting Business builds and operates data centers to provide energized space to crypto mining customers.

As of May 31, 2025, our 106 MW facility in Jamestown, North Dakota and our 180 MW facility in Ellendale, North Dakota continue to operate at full capacity. This business segment accounts for all of the revenue we generated from our continuing operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025.

HPC Hosting Business

Our HPC Hosting Business designs, constructs, and operates next-generation data centers, which are designed to provide massive computing power and support HPC applications within a cost-effective model.

We are currently building two HPC focused data center facilities to provide 100 MW and 150 MW, respectively, of capacity in Ellendale, ND. These facilities are being designed and purpose-built to host high-density GPU architecture or other HPC applications, such as artificial intelligence, natural language processing, machine learning, and additional HPC developments.

As previously disclosed and as further discussed below, on January 13, 2025, APLD HPC Holdings LLC (“APLDH”), our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Unit Purchase Agreement” or “UPA”) for our HPC Hosting Business with MIP VI HPC Holdings, LLC, which is an affiliate of funds and investment vehicles managed by entities within Macquarie Asset Management (“MAM”). The closing under the UPA is subject to certain closing conditions, including, APLDH executing a lease with a hyperscaler for the first 100 MW of Polaris Forge 1, in a form acceptable to MAM, the parties finalizing and executing a limited liability company agreement for APLDH (the “LLCA”), for us and APLDH to carry out an internal restructuring to segregate the HPC Hosting Business’ assets and liabilities before closing (the “Internal Restructuring”), as well as customary closing conditions. As set forth in an amendment to the UPA, entered into by the parties, effective as of April 4, 2025, the parties extended the dates (i) to

finalize the form of the LLCA (save for certain specified exhibits thereto) to April 7, 2025, (ii) to finalize the plan for the Internal Restructuring plan and the form of the Corporate Services Agreement to April 18, 2025, and (iii) by which either party may terminate the UPA if closing has not occurred, from July 13, 2025 to October 13, 2025. As of the date of this report, the terms of the LLCA (as disclosed below) have been finalized by the parties, which document is required to be executed and delivered at closing. The parties also entered into a consent on May 21, 2025, in which MAM consented to APLDH entering into the leases for Polaris Forge 1, and also extending certain of the deadlines under the UPA to finalize the foregoing documents.

On May 28, 2025, APLD ELN-02 LLC and APLD ELN-03 LLC, our subsidiaries, each entered into a data center lease (together, the “Data Center Leases”) with CoreWeave, Inc. (“CoreWeave”) to deliver an aggregate of 250 MW of infrastructure to host CoreWeave’s HPC operations at Polaris Forge 1. The first lease is for the full capacity of our 100 MW data center that is currently under construction, and the second lease is for the full capacity of our 150 MW data center that is also under construction. We have guaranteed the obligations of APLD ELN-02 LLC and APLD ELN-03 LLC under the respective Data Center Lease to which such subsidiary is a party.

We anticipate that this business segment will begin generating meaningful revenues once the first building within Polaris Forge 1 becomes operational, which is expected in calendar year 2025.

Discontinued Operations

The Cloud Services Business provides high-performance computing power for AI and machine learning applications. Near the end of the fiscal third quarter 2024, this business began generating revenue. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, we determined that the Cloud Services Business met the criteria to be classified as “held for sale,” as the Board of Directors approved further plans for the sale of the segment. The potential sale of the Cloud Services Business represents a strategic shift in our operations and financial results. As such, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, we have reported the Cloud Services Business as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet and discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations. The comparative periods have been updated to present the Cloud Services Business as held for sale and discontinued operations as of June 1, 2022.

We recognized $84.4 million in revenue from this business segment during fiscal year 2025 within discontinued operations. The Cloud Services Business operates in three states: Colorado, Minnesota and Utah, by renting space at third party co-location centers and providing customers with Company-owned equipment.

Mr. Rench continued with the Company in his new capacity as Chief Administrative Officer until January 31, 2025, when he transitioned to a consultant for the Company.

On January 6, 2025, we welcomed Laura Laltrello as our Chief Operating Officer.

In connection with the execution of the SEPA, we agreed to pay a structuring fee (in cash) to YA Fund in the amount of $25,000. Additionally, we agreed to pay a commitment fee of $2,125,000 to YA Fund, (the Commitment Fee”), in the form of 456,287 shares of common stock (the “Commitment Shares”), representing $2,125,000 divided by the average of the daily VWAPs of the common stock during the three trading days immediately prior to the date of the SEPA. On October 16, 2024, we entered into a letter agreement with YA Fund, whereby we agreed to satisfy our obligations with respect to the Commitment Fee in cash by increasing the principal amount due under the March Note (as defined below) in an equivalent amount, instead of issuing the Commitment Shares. The Commitment Fee was paid in full during the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2025 as part of the repayment by us of the March Note.

The SEPA was terminated on April 30, 2025.

Series F Convertible Preferred Stock

On August 29, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Series F Purchase Agreement”) with YA Fund for the private placement (the “Series F Offering”) of 53,191 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series F Convertible Preferred Stock”), including 3,191 shares representing an original issue discount of 6%. The transaction closed on August 30, 2024, for total proceeds of $50.0 million, prior to fees paid to Northland Securities, Inc. for their role as placement agent in an amount equal to 3.5% of the total proceeds.

At our discretion, the Preferential Dividends were payable either in cash or in kind or accrue and compound in an amount equal to 8.0% multiplied by the Series F Stated Value. In addition, each holder of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock was entitled to receive dividends equal to, on an as-converted to shares of our common stock basis, and in the same form as, dividends actually paid on shares of our common stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares our common stock. The Series F Convertible Preferred Stock

46

became convertible upon the receipt of shareholder approval on November 20, 2024. We filed the Certificate of Designation of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on August 30, 2024.

Pursuant to the Series F Purchase Agreement, YA Fund executed an Irrevocable Proxy, dated August 30, 2024, appointing the Company as proxy to vote in all matters submitted to our stockholders for a vote of all shares of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by YA Fund in accordance with the recommendation of our Board of Directors. The Irrevocable Proxy became effective upon the receipt of shareholder approval on November 20, 2024.

Additionally, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Series F Registration Rights Agreement”) with YA Fund, pursuant to which we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1, registering the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, within 45 days of signing the Series F Registration Rights Agreement (subject to certain exceptions). On November 22, 2024, we filed a registration statement on Form S-1/A (File No. 333-282707) for the resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 26, 2024.

As of May 31, 2025, there were no shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.

As an inducement to Ms. Laltrello accepting this position, we granted her an employment inducement award of 600,000 RSUs, outside of the Company’s 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, in accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

Unit Purchase Agreement

On January 13, 2025, APLDH, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into the Unit Purchase Agreement for our HPC Hosting Business with MAM, pursuant to the terms of which, MAM will invest up to $900 million to fund the equity portion of the construction costs for Polaris Forge 1, with the initial investment of $225 million payable at closing, and the remaining $675 million payable in increments of $2.25 million for each executed lease of 1 MW of capacity. MAM also will have a right to invest up to an additional $4.1 billion in future HPC development projects. MAM will receive preferred and common units for its investment. The common units will represent fifteen percent (15%) of APLDH’s fully diluted common equity. The preferred units will accrue a dividend at a rate of 12.75% per annum, paid in stock or cash, at APLDH’s election, which will increase by 87.5 basis points on the fifth and sixth anniversaries of the closing, if still outstanding, and will carry a minimum 1.80x multiple of invested capital liquidation preference, inclusive of the value of the common equity. The LLCA is also expected to contain customary provisions for transactions of this nature, including, for example, co-sale rights, transfer restrictions, governance rights, redemption rights, forced sale rights, and step-in rights. As of the date of this report, these terms (as set forth in the LLCA) have been finalized by the parties, the execution of which is expected to occur at closing, subject to satisfaction of the other closing conditions, such as, among other things, APLDH executing a lease with a hyperscaler for the first 100 MW of Polaris Forge 1, in a form acceptable to MAM, for us and APLDH to carry out the Internal Restructuring and entering into the Corporate Services Agreement, as well as customary closing conditions.

In addition, the Unit Purchase Agreement provides that we will issue to MAM at closing up to two warrants to purchase 4,458,069 shares each, for a total of 8,916,138 shares of our common stock, at the exercise price of $8.29 per share. The shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are subject to customary registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be executed and delivered at closing.

The proceeds from the MAM investment will be used to continue the buildout of Polaris Forge 1, repay the existing bridge debt, fund platform general and administrative expenses, and pay transaction expenses.

STB Warrant

On February 27, 2025, we issued a warrant to STB Applied Holdings LLC to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at the exercise price of $7.83 per share (the “STB Warrant”) for consideration of $50,000. The warrant is exercisable beginning on February 27, 2027 (the “Initial Exercise Date”), upon payment of the applicable exercise price in cash or through cashless exercise for a period of five years from the Initial Exercise Date.

Series G Preferred Stock

On April 30, 2025, we entered into the Preferred Equity Purchase Agreement (the “PEPA”) with certain investors for the issuance and sale of up to 156,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock”) in a transaction.

Pursuant to the PEPA, we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement, registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock as soon as practicable after June 2, 2025, but in any case, no later than June 9, 2025 (subject to certain exceptions), which we filed with the SEC on June 3, 2025 as further described under "Recent Developments" below.

In addition, we agreed to file a resale registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of the CoreWeave Warrant Shares pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 28, 2025, between us and CoreWeave.

Debt Financing

Yorkville

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, we entered into two prepaid advance agreements with YA Fund and issued promissory notes, as further described below, totaling $92.1 million (collectively, the “YA Notes”).

On October 29, 2024, we entered into certain amendments to the Prepaid Advance Agreement between us and YA Fund executed on March 27, 2024 (the “March PPA”) and the promissory note issued in connection therewith (the “March Note”). The amendments (i) provided consent to the Convertible Notes (as defined below) offering and share repurchase transactions, and (ii) removed certain prior restrictions on redemption of the March Note before January 1, 2025.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, the remaining aggregate principal of $71.3 million of the YA Notes were converted, in exchange for the issuance by us of approximately 19.1 million shares of our common stock to YA Fund. As YA Fund had converted a portion of the principal outstanding balance under the YA Notes into such maximum number of shares allowable under the Nasdaq rules and regulations, the remaining balance of $4.8 million under the March Note was payable in cash. During the quarter ended February 28, 2025, we repaid the $4.8 million in full, including all outstanding and unpaid principal, accrued interest, fees, and expenses, as well as the $2.1 million Commitment Fee under the SEPA.

CIM Arrangement

As previously reported, on June 7, 2024, APLD Holdings 2 LLC (“APLD Holdings”), our subsidiary, entered into a promissory note (as amended, the “CIM Promissory Note”) with CIM APLD Lender Holdings, LLC (the “CIM Lender”). The CIM Promissory Note provided for an initial borrowing of $15 million, which was drawn on June 7, 2024, and subsequent borrowings of up to $110 million (the “Subsequent Tranches”), available subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as outlined in the CIM Promissory Note. In addition to the initial borrowing, the CIM Promissory Note included an accordion feature that allowed for up to an additional $75 million of borrowings. Principal amounts repaid under the CIM Promissory Note were not available for reborrowing. On August 11, 2024, we and the CIM Lender entered into a waiver agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”), whereby the CIM Lender agreed to waive the satisfaction of certain conditions for the subsequent borrowings, allowing us to draw an additional $20 million (net of original discount and fees) of borrowings under the CIM Promissory Note.

As consideration for the CIM Promissory Note, we agreed to issue to the CIM Lender warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,265,366 shares of our common stock. The warrants were issuable in two tranches, (i) for the purchase of up to 6,300,449 shares of common stock (the “Initial Warrants”), and (ii) for the purchase of up to 2,964,917 shares of common stock (the “Additional Warrants”). The Initial Warrants were issued on June 17, 2024 and the Additional Warrants were issued August 11, 2024 (as consideration for entry into the Waiver Agreement). On October 8, 2024, we entered into the First Amendment to the Promissory Note and Waiver Agreement (the “CIM Amendment”) with the CIM Lender, which amended the CIM Promissory Note to, among other things, extend the availability period thereunder, and draw the remaining $20 million (net of original discount and fees) of borrowings of the Subsequent Tranches available under the CIM Promissory Note.

49

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, all 9,265,366 of the CIM Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis for approximately 4.9 million shares of our common stock in a net settlement transaction.

On November 27, 2024, in connection with the issuance of the Macquarie Promissory Note (as defined and described below) and the receipt by us of the proceeds related thereto, we repaid the CIM Promissory Note in full, including all outstanding and unpaid principal, accrued interest, fees, and expenses.

Convertible Notes, senior unsecured

On November 4, 2024, we completed a private offering of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Convertible Notes") to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes sold in the offering was $450 million, which included $75 million aggregate principal amount issued pursuant to the initial purchasers' fully exercised option. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.75% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2025.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes were approximately $435.2 million after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts, commissions, and estimated offering expenses. We used approximately $84.0 million of the net proceeds to fund share repurchases of common stock in connection with the offering, including (i) $52.7 million to fund the cost of entering into prepaid forward repurchase transactions, and (ii) $31.3 million to repurchase shares of our common stock directly. Additionally, approximately $51.8 million was used to pay the cost of the capped call transactions, which have a cap price of $14.72. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

The initial conversion rate is 102.5 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.75 per share of common stock). Prior to March 1, 2030, the Convertible Notes are convertible only upon the occurrence of certain events. On or after March 1, 2030 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time. The Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of common stock, or a combination thereof, at our election, subject to certain restrictions.

Macquarie Promissory Note

On November 27, 2024, APLD ELN-02 Holdings LLC, our subsidiary, entered into a promissory note (the "Macquarie Promissory Note") with Macquarie Equipment Capital, Inc. for a loan of $150 million. The Macquarie Promissory Note has an 18-month term and bears interest at 0.25% per annum, with no commitment fee or original issue discount. The Macquarie Promissory Note is subject to an initial minimum return hurdle of 1.11x within the first four months that scales up to 1.35x over its term. The proceeds from the Macquarie Promissory Note were used to repay in full and terminate the CIM Promissory Note as well as all of our obligations under the March Note. As partial consideration for the Macquarie Promissory Note, we issued warrants (the "Macquarie Warrants") as described in the section above.

On February 11, 2025, in connection with entering into the SMBC Credit Agreement (as defined below) and receipt by us of the proceeds related thereto (as described below), we repaid the Macquarie Promissory Note in full.

SMBC Loans

On February 11, 2025, APLD HPC Holdings LLC, our subsidiary, entered into a credit and guaranty agreement (the “SMBC Credit Agreement”) with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation ("SMBC"). The SMBC Credit Agreement provides for an aggregate of $375 million of term loans (the “SMBC Loans”), which includes base rate loans and SOFR loans, and matures 18 months after the closing date. Base rate loans bear interest at the base rate plus (i) 2.50% from the closing date until the six month anniversary of the closing date, (ii) 3.50% after the six month anniversary of the closing date until the one year anniversary of the closing date, and (iii) 4.50% after the one year anniversary of the closing date while SOFR loans bear interest at the daily simple SOFR plus (i) 3.50% from the closing date until the six month anniversary of the closing date, (ii) 4.50% after the six month anniversary of the closing date until the one year anniversary of the closing date, and (iii) 5.50% after the one year anniversary of the closing date.

The proceeds from the SMBC Loans were used to: (i) prepay in full the Macquarie Promissory Note, (ii) pay for certain data center project development costs at Polaris Forge 1, and (iii) fund the Interest Reserve Account as defined in the

50

Credit Agreement. Remaining proceeds have been deposited into a separate bank account for future construction costs at Polaris Forge 1.

Commentary on Results of Continuing Operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 compared to the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024

Revenues

Revenue increased $20.4 million, or 17%, from $121.9 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to $142.3 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 which was caused by 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.

Comparatively, revenue increased $109.8 million, or 268%, from $41.0 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 to $150.8 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024. Approximately $80.9 million of the increase was related to continuing operations while $28.9 million was related to discontinued operations. The increase related to continuing operations between periods was primarily due to increased capacity across our three Data Center Hosting facilities, specifically our 180 MW Data Center Hosting Facility in Ellendale, ND, which accounted for a $60.0 million increase in revenue as it was its first full year of operations. The increase in revenue related to discontinued operations was due to the Cloud Services Business segment starting to generate revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, as a result of the launch of services provided by the Cloud Services Business during that year.

Related party revenue decreased $12.8 million, or 87%, from $14.8 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to $1.9 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, driven by certain related parties terminating their contracts during the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2025.

53

Comparatively, related party revenue increased $0.4 million, or 2%, from $14.4 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 to $14.8 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, primarily driven by increased uptime at the Company’s Jamestown, North Dakota facility throughout the period.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues decreased by $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 due to the following changes:

•approximately $4.8 million decrease in energy costs due to more favorable pricing during the current year; and

•approximately $4.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense as there was minimal accelerated depreciation in the current year as opposed to prior year where we recognized approximately $4.3 million of accelerated depreciation related to transformers that were abandoned by the Company due to operational failure or other reasons.

These decreases were offset by an increase of approximately $4.1 million in personnel expenses for employee costs directly attributable to generating revenue resulting from increased headcount.

Selling, general and administrative expense

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $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 due to the overall growth in the business, categorized as follows:

•approximately $14.5 million increase in stock-based compensation due to accelerated vesting of certain employee stock awards and the recognition of expense related to performance stock units granted during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025;

•approximately $11.5 million increase in professional service expenses primarily related to legal services provided on discrete transactions and projects as well as general support of the business;

•approximately $8.4 million increase in personnel expenses largely driven by increases in headcount to support the business; and

•approximately $3.7 million increase in other selling, general, and administrative expense primarily due to insurance premiums and computer and software expenses.

(Gain) loss on classification as held for sale

Gain on classification as held for sale was $24.6 million for the fiscal year ended May 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 which was partially offset by a $0.4 million loss on assets held for sale associated with the write down of certain assets to their fair market value upon disposal. 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 31, 2024.

Loss on abandonment of assets

Loss on abandonment of assets was $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, driven by the write down of assets to their fair value upon disposal. There were no such losses recorded in the prior year comparative period.

Loss from legal settlement

Loss from legal settlement was $2.4 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 primarily due to a settlement agreement entered into by us with respect to employment-related claims by a former executive. The terms of the settlement included payment to the claimant of $2.3 million. There were no such losses recorded in the current year comparative period.

Interest expense, net

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

54

well as an increase of $2.2 million in interest income due to an increase in funds held in money market accounts. These changes were 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

Loss on conversion of debt was $33.6 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, due to the difference in the fair value compared to the price at which 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

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 31, 2024 to $85.4 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. The loss on change in fair value of debt for the fiscal year ended May 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 Convertible Note 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 31, 2024 was due to the valuation associated with our borrowings under the YA Notes.

Loss on change in fair value of related party debt

Loss on change in fair value of related party debt was $8.1 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, due to the change in fair value of one of our previously held related party loans. There were no such losses recorded in the current year comparative period.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, due to unamortized loan issuance costs related to the Macquarie Promissory Note that was repaid in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. There were no such losses recorded in the prior year comparative period.

Loss on extinguishment of related party debt

Loss on extinguishment of related party debt was $2.5 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, due to the termination fees related to a previously held related party loan. There were no such losses recorded in the current year comparative period.

Loss on change in fair value of warrants

Loss on change in fair value of warrants was $6.4 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, due to the initial valuation of the STB Warrants issued during the current period. There were no such losses recorded in the prior year comparative period.

Loss on change in fair value of related party warrants

Loss on change in fair value of related party warrants was $5.7 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, due to the valuation associated with warrants issued to a related party. There were no such losses recorded in the current year comparative period.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense increased $6.0 thousand, or 6%, from a $96.0 thousand expense for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to a $102.0 thousand expense for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. This change was driven by an increase in current state income tax expense during the current period.

Net loss from discontinued operations

Net loss from discontinued operations decreased $2.6 million, or 4% from $75.3 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to $72.7 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 and represents the income statement activity related to the

55

Cloud Services Business. The Cloud Services Business had a decrease of $10.2 million in operating loss year over year, which was partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $7.6 million year over year.

Commentary on Segment Data Comparative Results for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 compared to fiscal year ended May 31, 2024:

Data Center Hosting Business

Operating Profit

Data Center Hosting Business operating profit increased $59.1 million, or 1,228%, from a profit of $4.8 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to a profit of $63.9 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to the recognition of a $25.0 million gain on classification of held for sale due to the release of escrowed funds related to the sale of the Garden City facility. Comparatively, there was recognition of a $15.4 million loss on classification of held for sale related to the sale of the Garden City facility in the prior year. Other operating expenses attributable to the Garden City facility including power and depreciation decreased by approximately $20.6 million, since this facility was sold between the periods. The increase in operating profit was partially offset by increased headcount costs.

HPC Hosting Business

Operating Loss

HPC Hosting Business operating loss increased $7.3 million, or 151%, from a loss of $4.8 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to a loss of $12.1 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. The loss was largely comprised of legal expenses incurred in connection with discrete projects and amortization expense related to finance leases as we ramp up our HPC Hosting Business.

Non-GAAP 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 our 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 our 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 our business.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Loss From Continuing Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders, and Adjusted Net Loss From Continuing Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders per Diluted Share

“Adjusted Operating Income (Loss)” and “Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders” are non-GAAP financial measures that represent operating loss and net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders, respectively. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is Operating loss excluding stock-based compensation, non-recurring repair expenses, diligence, acquisition, disposition and integration expenses, litigation expenses, loss on abandonment of assets, (gain) loss on classification as held for sale, accelerated depreciation and amortization, loss on legal settlement, restructuring expenses and other non-recurring expenses that Management believes are not representative of the Company's expected ongoing costs. Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders is Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) further adjusted for the loss on conversion of debt, loss on change in fair value of debt and related party debt, respectively, loss on fair value of warrants and warrants issued to related parties, respectively, loss on extinguishment of debt and related party debt, respectively, and preferred dividends. We define “Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders per diluted share” as Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders divided by weighted average diluted share count.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

“EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, non-recurring repair expenses,

57

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.

Funding Requirements

We have experienced net losses through the period ended May 31, 2025. Our transition to profitability is dependent on the successful operation of our business.

59

We expect to have sufficient liquidity, including cash on hand, payments from customers, access to debt financing, and access to public capital markets, to support ongoing operations and meet our working capital needs for at least the next 12 months and all of our known requirements and plans for cash. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all, which would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our ongoing operations and development plans. We have based our estimates as to how long we expect we will be able to fund our operations on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect, in which case, we would be required to obtain additional financing sooner than currently projected, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses and our operating expenditures will continue to increase as we continue to expand our operations. We believe that the significant investments in property and equipment will remain throughout fiscal year 2026 as we continue construction of our HPC hosting facilities.

Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary capital requirements are to fund the development and expansion of our data center infrastructure, support working capital needs, cover operating expenses, and finance capital expenditures associated with technology upgrades and facility enhancements. As of May 31, 2025, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $41.6 million and funds restricted for construction expenditures of $41.0 million. Historically we have incurred losses and have relied on equity and debt financings to fund our operations. We have primarily generated cash in the last 12 months from the proceeds of our term loans, issuance of common stock, preferred stock, convertible promissory notes, senior unsecured convertible notes, debt facilities and the receipt of contractual deposits and revenue payments from customers.

In addition to the sources of liquidity noted below, subsequent to May 31, 2025, we sold additional shares of our common stock under the June 2025 Sales Agreement which generated proceeds of approximately $193.9 million and issued the remaining 78,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock, pursuant to the PEPA, for aggregate gross proceeds of $75.0 million.

We believe that existing cash balances, cash flows from operations, existing debt facilities, and access to capital markets will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our debt obligations, including any repayment of debt or refinancing of debt, working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, and other contractual obligations, for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future thereafter.

Commentary on the change in cash flows between the fiscal years ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024:

Operating Activities

The net cash (used in) provided by operating activities decreased by $129.2 million, or 937%, from $13.8 million provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to $115.4 million used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. This change was primarily driven by a large increase in accounts payable due to the timing of payments between the periods and a gain on classification of held for sale due to the receipt of $25.0 million of funds

62

released from escrow in association with the sale of our Garden City facility. Also contributing to this change was a decrease in deferred revenue due to changes in our customer base relative to the prior comparative period as well as timing of collections during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025.

These impacts were partially offset by an $85.4 million loss on change in fair value of debt primarily due a loss of approximately $89.6 million related to the change in fair value of the conversion option derivative of the Convertible Note during the two week period in which the Company did not have sufficient authorized shares to settle such conversion fully in shares. This loss was offset by a gain of approximately $4.1 million related to the change in the fair value of the YA Notes.

Investing Activities

The net cash used in investing activities increased by $495.2 million, from $172.4 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to $667.7 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase of approximately $539.8 million in investments in property and equipment during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 as our payments in the current periods for construction of Polaris Forge 1 outpaced the comparative period construction payments for the Garden City hosting facility and our HPC data centers in the prior year. These increases were partially offset by the receipt of $25.0 million of funds that were released from escrow in association with the sale of our Garden City facility as well as a decrease of $43.9 million in lease prepayments made for leases of hosting equipment to support our Cloud Services Business during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025.

Financing Activities

The net cash provided by financing activities increased by $727.9 million, or 496%, from $146.8 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 to $874.7 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. The primary reasons for the change were an increase in the receipt of net proceeds from offerings of our common and preferred stock of approximately $235.1 million, proceeds from the Convertible Notes of $450.0 million and net debt borrowings of approximately $357.0 million, as well as the receipt of $12.0 million from SAFE agreements for equity in Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. These increases were partially offset by the payment of approximately $42.4 million in debt financing costs, an increase of approximately $65.1 million in finance lease payments as well as approximately $104.5 million cash used for the capped call and prepaid forward related to the Convertible Notes offering during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recently issued financial accounting standards, refer to "Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies", in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Judgements

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

63

Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation with performance conditions by recognizing expense ratably over the requisite service period once we conclude that it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. Our conclusion as to the probability of achievement is complex and requires significant judgment by management. In addition, estimates around the service period for performance awards that are probable of being achieved require significant judgement by management. We may revise our estimate when we determine that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved within a different time period.

We reassess the probability related to vesting and the requisite service period at each reporting period, and recognize a cumulative catch up adjustment for such changes in our probability assessment in subsequent reporting periods. Our determination of probability is based on historical metrics, future projections, and our historical performance against such projections.

Fair Value Measurements

Warrants

We measure the warrants issued to CIM APLD Lender Holdings LLC, Macquarie Equipment Capital, Inc., STB Applied Holdings LLC, and CoreWeave at fair value (see Note 7 - Debt and Note 9 - Stockholders' Equity for further discussion). We engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist management in its determination of the fair value of the warrants using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing model. Inherent in pricing models are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield, which are considered Level 3 inputs.

Convertible Notes

We engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist management in its determination and allocation of the fair value of the embedded derivative, the Conversion Option, using a binomial lattice model in a risk-neutral framework. We allocated the principal amount of the Convertible Notes between the host contract and the embedded derivative, based on fair value (see Note 7 - Debt for further discussion).
