Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
I remain optimistic about the future of Applied Digital as we solidify our leadership in next-generation digital infrastructure for both blockchain and non-blockchain HPC use cases during this era of digital transformation
So feel pretty good about the deliveries for us
As we look ahead, we remain confident in our competitive advantages and differentiated capabilities to meet the sophisticated and demanding requirements for businesses and enterprises to run AI workloads and other emerging HPC applications
But we're still seeing a robust funding environment for the companies that will be customers for us we see good demand, really strong demand in our pipeline
The pipeline of opportunities for our AI cloud service business remains robust
Both customers have an established user base and are growing quickly
We aim to have all three of our blockchain hosting facilities fully online shortly with high reliability and performance for our customers
So we -- I think at this point, we're getting pretty good visibility on delivery schedules
Our established partnerships with leading OEMs like Super Micro, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Dell, combined with our recent Elite Partner status in NVIDIA's Partner Network, provide us with visibility into the delivery time line, ensuring timely receipt of these GPUs
In certain contracts, the prepayments are amortized back to the customer over the first year of their contract with no impact on revenue recognition, but the timing of cash flow with upfront cash to us is a major benefit for the company and that it helps our CapEx funding needs as we build out our data centers
This marks the fourth consecutive quarter in which the Jamestown facilities has operated at full capacity
It's gotten better since our last call
Presence of all three operational facilities with high uptime will provide us with consistent cash flow, supporting our capital requirements for the build-out of our HPC data centers and purchasing GPUs to service our AI cloud customers
And so it works well for our cloud business over time to have that type of architecture of just being spread into more cloud regions for the inferencing portion of the business, while a lot of the training will move into North Dakota
I'd like to thank all of our team members for their dedication in making Applied what it is today and our shareholders for trusting us in our mission and execution
The increase in hosting revenues was driven by an increase in online capacity due to Ellendale, North Dakota site being operational and revenue from the company's first AI cloud service contract, which began during the three months ended August 31, 2023
Our AI cloud service continues to ramp up as we make further progress in supporting our existing contracts and pursue additional opportunities in our pipeline
Our 180-megawatt Ellendale facility in North Dakota was fully energized and became fully operational during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 and contributed to our results this quarter, the facility is fully online and operating with consistent uptime during the second quarter, bringing our total hosting capacity to 280 megawatts across our North Dakota facilities, all of which are contracted out to customers on multiyear terms
In July, we activated the first cluster of GPUs for Character.AI and since then have made meaningful progress receiving our second cluster of GPUs in September with the expectation of receiving additional GPUs this month
And so it should go much faster
And to you and the team, best of luck
Our 100-megawatt Jamestown facility continues to perform as expected and operates at full capacity with consistent uptime throughout the quarter
I want to start by thanking our employees for their ongoing hard work and service and advancing our mission of providing digital infrastructure solutions to the rapidly growing high-performance computing industry
And again, thanks to all of our employees for the efforts they put in the last quarter and this quarter to date
So as you see those come online, you'll see a pretty steep revenue ramp on the cloud business through the remainder of the year
So that's what gives us that confidence in the deliveries, can things be pushed
We're seeing a huge amount of demand and really demand for power that is available in capacity that can come online over the next 24 or 36 months
Good morning, everyone
Good morning
Good morning
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
Net loss for the fiscal first quarter of 2024 was $9.6 million or a loss of $0.10 per basic and diluted share based on a weighted average share count during the quarter of approximately $100.5 million
This compares to a net loss of $4.7 million or a loss of $0.05 per basic and diluted share in the fiscal first quarter of 2023 based on a weighted average share count during the quarter of approximately $93.1 million
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure for the fiscal first quarter of 2024 was $10 million compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss for the fiscal first quarter of 2023 of $1.9 million
We haven't seen demand in this area slow down
I think if you go look through the capital raising in the industry hasn't slowed down
You technically Kevin can go out to 50 meters away from the network core, but you have to use a single mode transceiver on optics instead of multimode, so it gets more expensive, a little more difficult
