Sam Tabar, Chief Executive Officer of WhiteFiber, said:
"WhiteFiber delivered a solid first quarter, with year-over-year revenue growth, strong gross margins, and positive adjusted EBITDA, while continuing to invest in the AI infrastructure platform we are building.
During the quarter and subsequent period, we made meaningful progress across our core priorities. NC-1 continued to advance through construction and commissioning, Duke Energy completed the work required to deliver 54 megawatts of gross utility power to the site, and we remain focused on bringing the initial 40-megawatt IT load deployment into service under our long-term colocation agreement with Nscale.
Demand for high-density AI infrastructure remains very strong. Customers need power, speed, and partners who can execute. We believe our pipeline continues to improve in both quality and scale, and we are advancing multiple larger site opportunities where we believe customer demand, power availability, financing, and execution planning can align from the outset.
In cloud, we have made significant progress repositioning the business toward longer-duration enterprise deployments, managed infrastructure services, and next-generation GPU capacity. Recent customer wins and late-stage opportunities demonstrate growing traction behind this strategy, with structures that include customer prepayments and project-level equipment financing.
The first part of 2026 has been about preparing WhiteFiber for its next stage of growth. As NC-1 moves toward initial revenue, the project-level financing process advances, and the cloud strategy gains traction, we believe the pieces are coming together to demonstrate the development flywheel we are building: secure strategic sites, match them with high-quality customer demand, finance projects efficiently, deliver capacity, and recycle capital into the next opportunity."

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our ability to capture demand in the market, prospective customer demand, the timing for completion of the initial 24-megawatt phase at our NC-1 facility, our pipeline, our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, our expected contracted revenue, the anticipated timing and deploying of the information technology load, our position and ability to support AI infrastructure demand, our ability to capture the next phase of growth in AI infrastructure, and our ability to formalize contracts with our customers. These statements are based on current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. These statements may be identified by words such as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "will allow us to" "is anticipated," "estimated," "expected", "believe," "intend," "plan," "projection," "outlook" or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company's management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by law. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release.
Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained herein are reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as projected financial information and other information are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measure: adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of this financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We use adjusted EBITDA for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We define adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net (loss) income before interest expense, income tax expenses, and depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expenses and net gain from disposal of property, plant and equipment. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides helpful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core business operating results. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to adjusted EBITDA in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. Adjusted EBITDA also facilitates management's internal comparisons to our historical performance and comparisons to our competitors' operating results. We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors both because it (i) allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (ii) is used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business.
The items excluded from adjusted EBITDA may have a material impact on our financial results. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA is presented as supplemental disclosure and should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP. We refer investors to the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income included below consolidated results.
