Rhea-AI Filing Summary

RUM Group Inc. (RUM) filed an amended report providing detailed financial information related to its June 17, 2026 acquisition of approximately 85% of NDAG AG, a provider of AI and high-performance computing infrastructure. The amendment adds Northern Data’s historical financials and unaudited pro forma consolidated statements for RUM.

On a provisional purchase-price allocation basis, the acquired business contributed fair values including $887.3 million of property and equipment, $172.5 million of intangible assets and $411.5 million of goodwill, with non‑controlling interests of $93.3 million. Pro forma revenue was $168.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and $194.3 million for 2025, but pro forma net losses were substantial at $541.4 million and $742.2 million, respectively, driven by high operating expenses, depreciation, amortization and financing‑related items. The company emphasizes these pro forma figures are illustrative and not predictive of future results.

Positive

  • Business combination adds a large AI/HPC platform, including $887.3 million of property and equipment and $172.5 million of identifiable intangible assets on a provisional fair‑value basis, significantly expanding RUM’s infrastructure base.

Negative

  • Pro forma net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 is $541.4 million, indicating a heavily loss‑making combined business over that period.
  • Pro forma net loss from continuing operations for 2025 is $742.2 million, with basic and diluted loss per share of $1.80, highlighting substantial historical losses on a combined basis.

Filing Explained

The completed June 17 acquisition issued 59.3 million shares, 98.3 million pre-funded warrants, and a 366.6 million-dollar note payable.

The amendment shows that the completed June 17, 2026 acquisition used $432.6 million of Class A shares, $716.3 million of pre-funded warrants and a $366.6 million note payable as consideration.

The issued 59.3 million shares increase the share count and therefore dilute existing holders’ percentage ownership; the warrants create additional dilution if exercised.

The warrants were issued to Tether instead of shares to keep Tether and its affiliates from exceeding 9.90% of voting power. A pre-funded warrant is an instrument that converts into shares when exercised.

The purchase-price allocation remains provisional and may change during a measurement period lasting no longer than one year after the acquisition date, as additional acquisition-date information is evaluated.

unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information financial
"The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the Company"
non-controlling interest financial
"The non-controlling interest is comprised of the following components"
Non-controlling interest represents the portion of ownership in a company held by investors who do not have a controlling stake, meaning they do not have enough voting power to make major decisions. It is similar to owning a minority share of a business partner’s company—while they benefit from profits, they cannot control how the company is run. This matters to investors because it shows how much of the company's value is owned by outside shareholders and affects overall financial reporting.
goodwill financial
"Add: Goodwill | | | 411,503,140 |"
Goodwill is the extra value a buyer pays for a company above the measurable worth of its buildings, inventory and other tangible items, reflecting things like brand reputation, customer loyalty and expected future profits. Think of paying more for a café because of its famous name and regulars rather than its furniture alone. It matters to investors because changes in goodwill — for example a write-down if expected benefits don’t materialize — can reduce reported earnings and signal that past acquisitions aren’t delivering as hoped.
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) financial
"The historical financial information of NDAG was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")"
A set of globally accepted accounting rules companies use to prepare financial statements so their numbers speak the same language across borders. For investors, IFRS matters because it makes it easier to compare profitability, assets and liabilities between companies the way a common recipe or measuring tape lets you judge two cakes or two rooms fairly, which helps assess value and risk more reliably.
ASC 350-60 financial
"Under US GAAP, digital assets within the scope of ASC 350-60 are subsequently measured at fair value"

(Unaudited)

 

1.Basis of presentation

 

On June 17, 2026, RUM Group Inc. (“Rumble” or the “Company”) acquired approximately 85% of the outstanding common shares of NDAG AG (“NDAG”), a leading provider of AI and high-performance computing infrastructure (the “Business Combination”). The primary reason for the acquisition is to obtain large-scale AI compute infrastructure, GPU capacity, data center assets and power resources that accelerate the growth of our cloud business. The goodwill that arises in the acquisition, which is not deductible for tax purposes, is primarily attributed to the expected synergies from combining Rumble’s cloud platform and technology ecosystem with NDAG’s AI infrastructure assets, as well as expected future growth opportunities.

 

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations of Rumble for the six-months ended June 30, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, for illustrative purposes only, after giving effect to the Business Combination on the basis of the assumptions and adjustments described in Note 4. This unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations do not include all of the disclosures required by US GAAP.

 

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Company have been compiled from:

 

(a)the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations of Rumble for the six-months ended June 30, 2026; and

 

(b)the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations of NDAG for the period from January 1, 2026 to June 17, 2026

 

(c)the audited consolidated financial statements of Rumble for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024; and

A pro forma balance sheet has not been presented since the Business Combination has been reflected in Rumble’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2026.

 

The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information and actual adjustments, when recorded, may differ materially.

In addition to the pro forma adjustments, various other factors will have an effect on the financial condition and results of operations after the completion of the Business Combination.

 

The actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

 

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations do not reflect operational and administrative cost savings that may be achieved as a result of the Business Combination.

 

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations should be read in conjunction with the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Rumble for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Rumble as of June 30, 2026 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

4.Pro forma adjustments (continued)

 

The preliminary estimates of fair value and estimated useful lives will likely differ from final amounts the Company will calculate after completing a detailed valuation analysis, and the difference could have a material effect on these unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations. A 10% change in the valuation of property, plant and equipment would causes a corresponding increase or decrease in the goodwill of $88.7M. A 10% change in the valuation of property, plant and equipment would also cause a change in annual depreciation expense of approximately $11M.

 

(d)To remove amortization of existing intangibles and record amortization of the new intangible assets.

 

The preliminary estimates of fair value and estimated useful lives will likely differ from final amounts the Company will calculate after completing a detailed valuation analysis, and the difference could have a material effect on these unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations. A 10% change in the valuation of intangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the goodwill of $17.2M and annual amortization expense of approximately $4.1M.

 

(e)To remove interest expense related to the existing shareholder loan and record interest expense, foreign exchange and changes in fair value of the embedded derivative on the loan issued in the Business Combination. The interest expense on the new loan is based on the three-month EURIBOR plus 3%. A 1/8 of a percentage point increase or decrease in the benchmark rate would result in a change in annual interest expense of approximately $300,000.

 

(f)To record interest income on loan receivables recognized at fair value in the Business Combination.

 

(g)To adjust tax expense related to the above entries.

 

All of the above adjustments are expected to recur.

5.Adjustments to the historical information of Northern Data AG (continued)

 

(a)Leases

 

Under US GAAP, a lessee classifies its leases as either finance or operating which determines the accounting treatment. All of NDAG’s leases were determined to be operating leases. Lease expense related to operating leases is recognized straight-line over the lease term based on two components- interest expense which is determined based on the lease liabilities; and amortization of the right-of-use asset which is determined based on the residual amount needed to result in straight-line lease expense. The straight-line lease expense is presented in operating expenses. Under IFRS, interest expense is determined based the lease liability and presented as a financing cost, and the right of use asset is amortized over the lease term and presented in amortization expense.

 

Adjustments were made to reflect the straight-line lease expense and presentation in operating expenses as required under US GAAP.

 

(b)Shares in other companies

 

Under US GAAP, investments in equity securities are subsequently measured at fair value with changes reflected in net income. Under IFRS, NDAG subsequently measured its investments in equity securities at fair value with changes reflected in other comprehensive income.

 

Adjustments were made to reflect all changes in fair value in net income as required under US GAAP.

 

(c)Share-based payments compensation – Forfeiture estimates

 

Under US GAAP, there is an accounting policy choice to recognize forfeitures related to share-based compensation as they occur, which is the accounting policy choice made by Rumble. Under IFRS, forfeitures must be estimated on the grant date of the award and throughout the vesting period.

 

Adjustments were made to remove the impact of estimated forfeitures to align with Rumble’s accounting policy.

 

(d)Digital assets

 

Under US GAAP, digital assets within the scope of ASC 350-60 are subsequently measured at fair value with changes reflected in net income. Under IFRS, digital assets such as cryptocurrencies are generally accounted for as intangible assets unless held for sale in the ordinary course of business. Further, there is an accounting policy choice to apply the revaluation model when an active market exists, resulting in upward revaluations being recognized in OCI and downward revaluations recognized in profit or loss, which is the accounting policy choice made by NDAG.

 

Adjustments were made to remove the effects of the revaluation model and to reflect all changes in fair value in net income as required under US GAAP.

 

(e)Deferred taxes

 

Adjustments were made to tax-effect the above US GAAP adjustments.

 

(f)Further adjustments have been made to align NDAG’s financial statement presentation with that of Rumble.

 

6.Tax rate

 

The effective income tax rate of 12.50% - 31.93% was used to determine the proforma adjustments. Actual rates will differ as a result of the temporary and permanent differences.
