Algorhythm Holdings (NASDAQ: RIME) is preparing its Azure Energy subsidiary’s 1,500 MW Mississippi power project for marketing to potential co-located tenants. Engineering is nearly complete, and Azure holds a 10% equity stake. The company expects approximately $5 million in fee income in 2027 under the current engagement.
The campus would combine biomass and natural gas generation with chilled water supply. Initial power delivery is expected within 18 months of notice to proceed, with full capacity within 54 months. Azure projects approximately $40 million in annual EBITDA at full operation if completed as scheduled. Alternatively, a sale after final permitting in early 2027 could value the project at up to $1.66 billion, depending on market conditions, yielding approximately $166 million in gross proceeds for Azure if sold as valued. Full marketing is expected in early Q1 2027.
Algorhythm Holdings (RIME) outlined potential equity proceeds of approximately $7 million from a sale of Azure Energy’s North Carolina power project.
The 100 MW biomass facility is under development. Its first 50 MW phase is expected to operate in approximately 24 months; the second would add 50 MW after another 12 months. Azure is forecast to earn approximately $3 million in 2027 fee income from existing contracts. If completed as scheduled, Algorhythm expects annual EBITDA, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, exceeding $4 million through its minority stake once operational in late 2028.
Alternatively, a sale after final permitting has an estimated project value of up to $70 million. Azure would receive approximately $7 million for its stake plus transaction-management fees if sold. Azure expects to begin marketing the project and fully evaluate offers before the end of Q4 2026.
Algorhythm Holdings (NASDAQ: RIME) introduced Azure P2P, a wood-to-electricity process at the center of its recently acquired Azure Holdings business. The company describes the process as designed to turn low-value forest wood into renewable electricity capable of operating around the clock, without depending on wind or sunlight. Intended customers include data centers, utilities and industrial facilities.
The process starts with wood chips from forest tops, limbs, thinnings and other low-grade material. Chips are dried before entering a sealed, oxygen-free chamber, where heat breaks down the wood without burning it. This produces syngas, a fuel gas, and biochar, a solid carbon co-product. The gas is then burned to generate steam that drives electricity-producing turbines. The company identifies water captured during drying as an additional resource and potential revenue stream.
Algorhythm Holdings (NASDAQ: RIME) formally introduced Greg Smith, a former IBM executive, as its newest independent board director. Smith spent his entire professional career at IBM, taking on progressively greater managerial roles over 30 years. In the later years of his tenure, he managed multi-country organizations with direct responsibility for an annual $2 billion budget.
CEO Andrew Thompson expects Smith to help establish accountability and a results-driven culture across the company's portfolio. Thompson also believes Smith's insights will support Algorhythm as it seeks opportunities to supply U.S. data center infrastructure sites using renewable biomass power plant solutions.
Algorhythm Holdings (RIME) introduced its new executive team, with Andrew Thompson appointed chief executive officer effective September 15, 2026. Ryan Smith became chief operating officer in a newly created role on the same date. Controller Leticia Raele was promoted to chief accounting officer and interim chief financial officer, also effective September 15. The appointments followed the acquisition of Azure Energy that day.
Former CEO Gary Atkinson and former financial leader Alex Andre remain consultants supporting the transition. In connection with Thompson's appointment, Algorhythm issued him 2,119,542 restricted shares: 1,059,771 vested on the grant date, while the remaining 1,059,771 are subject to a restricted stock award agreement and will vest in full on September 15, 2027.
Algorhythm Holdings (RIME) announced on September 24, 2026, that it voluntarily terminated a financing arrangement with Continuation Capital. Under the arrangement, Algorhythm would have needed to issue more than 8 million additional common shares to pay an approximately $1.4 million remaining balance. The company expects the termination to avoid those share issuances.
Algorhythm recently announced the retirement of all outstanding Series A preferred shares. It also acquired Azure Energy in a $23 million all-stock transaction. Algorhythm expects contracts acquired with Azure Energy to generate more than $10 million in revenue through the end of 2027.
Algorhythm Holdings (RIME) has retired all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock by exchanging it for approximately $4 million of debt in a restructuring linked to the holder’s consent for the recently completed Azure Energy acquisition.
The Series A Preferred carried restrictive covenants that limited Algorhythm’s ability to raise equity or debt and undertake various corporate transactions without holder approval. With these covenants eliminated, the company now has greater flexibility to pursue refinancing, repayment and alternative, potentially lower-cost and less dilutive, financing structures to support its business plan and growth initiatives.
Algorhythm Holdings (RIME) outlined strategic, operational and capital priorities for SemiCab and Azure Energy for 2026–2027 on September 22, 2026.
Management aims to build recurring, profitable revenue, targeting near-term break-even operations by reducing SemiCab’s operating losses, particularly via G&A cuts at SemiCab India and a focus on its SaaS model. At Azure Energy, three existing customers provide more than $10 million of contracted high-margin fee revenue through the end of 2027, giving multi‑year revenue visibility, with additional 2027 contracts under negotiation. The company plans to use strategic, project‑specific partnerships to expand Azure’s role in large power generation projects and to monetize SemiCab’s technology while limiting capital needs.
Algorhythm also plans to strengthen its balance sheet by repaying, restructuring or refinancing higher‑cost debt, lowering its cost of capital and reducing reliance on equity‑linked, potentially dilutive financing.
Algorhythm Holdings (RIME) has completed a roughly $23 million asset acquisition of Charlotte-based renewable power plant developer Azure Energy, paid in common stock and a new preferred stock class that gains voting and conversion rights after shareholder approval.
Azure has more than $10 million in current contractual backlog and is generating positive, scaling EBITDA in 2026. It holds project equity interests in multiple U.S. power plants under construction with management-estimated net present value exceeding $220 million. The Azure team has participated in the design and construction of 72 power generation facilities totaling 17.5 GW of capacity, serving Fortune 500 clients, AI data centers and advanced manufacturers.
Azure’s biomass-based pyrolysis-to-power technology targets behind-the-meter, carbon-neutral power and potable water production. Co-founder Andrew Thompson becomes Algorhythm’s CEO and Chairman, and co-founder Kevin Tangen joins to lead engineering and technical teams.
Algorhythm Holdings (RIME) has dismissed long‑time CEO Gary Atkinson and completed a leadership transition tied to a corporate transaction and strategic repositioning. Atkinson also resigned from the Board of Directors after roughly 20 years with the company. A new Chief Executive Officer and additional Board members have been appointed in connection with the transaction, which shifts Algorhythm’s operating focus.
The Board has been evaluating strategic alternatives aimed at strengthening the company’s financial and operating profile and supporting long-term shareholder value. As part of that process, Algorhythm has been assessing a proposed acquisition of a high-growth, revenue-generating, EBITDA-positive business in the energy sector. The company plans to release further details on the transaction, the new leadership team and its future strategic direction in the near term.
