Digi Power X Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Key Takeaways

  • Positive Sentiment: Q2 marked Digi Power X’s first AI revenue, with $1.1 million from GPU bare-metal rentals and $3.3 million in adjusted EBITDA. Management expects Q3 revenue to increase by more than 100% sequentially.
  • Positive Sentiment: The company reported a substantially stronger balance sheet, including approximately $142.4 million in cash at quarter-end, about $115 million currently, $279 million in total assets, and no long-term debt. Management said it has deployed roughly $110 million toward the Alabama data-center buildout.
  • Positive Sentiment: Management reiterated targets to have phase one of the Columbiana, Alabama campus ready for service in December 2026 and phase two completed by the end of Q1 2027, supported by equipment orders already placed and arriving ahead of schedule.
  • Neutral Sentiment: Digi Power X is pursuing debt financing with Goldman Sachs to refinance deployed capital and reduce reliance on equity issuance, but financing has not yet closed. Management acknowledged that prior ATM fundraising was necessary to strengthen the balance sheet and qualify for lenders, creating shareholder-dilution concerns.
  • Neutral Sentiment: Longer-term expansion plans include additional GPU capacity, a potential 100-megawatt-to-1.3-gigawatt development at West Virginia’s Pleasants site, and 150–200 megawatts in North Carolina; however, these projects are largely targeted for 2027–2030 and remain dependent on permits, financing, and execution.

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today as we share our results for the second quarter of 2026 for Digi Power X. I'll start with the highlight of the second quarter, three months ended June 30, 2026. Revenues of $6.6 million, reflecting the planned wind down of legacy operation as the company transitioned to AI, compute, and colocation revenue. GPU revenue recognized for $1.1 million, representing the company's first GPU bare metal rental initial fleet of B200 and B300 GPU deployed at the Columbiana, Alabama facility. It was started a little bit third week of May till the end of June. It's about five weeks of income. Positive adjusted EBITDA of $3.3 million, an increase of $3.2 million compared to last year, Q2 2025.

Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

If you add all the depreciation and the non-cash related items, it brings us to a net loss of $14.4 million for the quarter. Balance sheet and liquidity as of June 30, 2026. Cash and cash equivalents of $142.4 million versus last year, $1.7 million. Working capital of $131 million, representing a $130 million year-over-year increase from June 30, 2025. Basically, we had no working capital a year ago. Digital assets holding of $14.3 million. Net fixed assets and equipment deposits for the build-up of the data center in Columbiana, $127.5 million. An increase of 447% year-over-year, reflecting capitalized investment at the Columbiana, Alabama facility. No long-term debt. Total assets of $279 million versus $37 million a year ago. Balance sheet and liquidity as of today. The company's cash and cash equivalence position is approximately $150 million today.

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

Approximately $110 million year to date of capital expenditures deployed towards GPU equipment and data center build-out for our contract with Cerebras Systems in Alabama facility. Operational highlights and outlook. At the Columbiana, Alabama AI campus, the company is still targeting phase one ready for service in December of 2026 and phase two in end of Q1 2027. Through its GPU-as-a-service and bare metal rental, energy sales, and legacy colocation segments, the company anticipates Q3 to increase by approximately over 100% as compared to Q2. Q2 signified a substantial turning point for Digi Power X as the company recognized its first AI revenues ever, along with positive adjusted EBITDA and growth substantially year-over-year.

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

Our balance sheet remains a source of strength for the company as we own approximately $150 million in cash and cash equivalents as of today, no long-term debt, and we have already deployed approximately $110 million of CapEx year to date into our infrastructure in Columbiana, Alabama. The company is currently in advance debt financing discussions for the Alabama data center to advance our path to growth and mitigate dilution. As you know, being the major shareholder since privately 2016, where I invested personal funds of about $8 million, I never sold one share, and I am very sensitive about dilution as it affects me primarily. So I am on the same side of most of shareholders. I try to mitigate dilution as much as we can. Considering that last year, 12 months ago, we had basically no cash, $1.7 million, we had basically no assets, $37 million.

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

We had basically no working capital. We had to utilize certain tools like ATM in order to raise cash in order to be eligible for debt financing. Now I will be ready for Q&A.

Operator

Thank you. We will now be conducting a question and answer session with questions previously asked by shareholders. First question, what are the remaining tasks that DGXX need to complete before the company can deliver the first 15 MW to Cerebras?

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

We are done with the first 50 MW in terms of equipment purchases. All the long-term equipment have been placed, and we are starting to receive them this month, actually. We are actually a few weeks earlier than scheduled, so we feel very confident that we will be ready by December for phase one.

Operator

Thank you. Second question. A similar question for phase two, what are the major items that need to be complete for delivering the second 25 MW?

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

We also are basically done for phase two. We secured, and as mentioned earlier in our total assets, you saw a big portion of deposits for equipment. We already secure all the long-term equipment to be received November, December, and we believe that we are in good shape to also complete phase two by March 2027.

Operator

Thank you. Our third question. As it relates to your NeoCloudz business and goal of exiting next year with delivery 10 MW in GPU-as-a-service, what are the obstacles to securing leases for these smaller size data centers? Is it capital, permits, locating long lead time items?

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

That is a very good, interesting question. We have no issue of power and permits in the sense that 10 MW is not a lot of power in our power infrastructure. We do have the power and the allocation. GPUs are very, very CapEx intensive. We started to buy GPUs, and we are running very successfully, 100% uptime. A really successful operation for us. As you know, we placed more GPU orders, the Vera Rubin, that should land early Q1 next year, and that will add additional income on the GPU bare metal. Good news in the last few weeks, as you read, NVIDIA and most of the banks, BlackRock, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, KKR, have created a fund and actually residual value for the GPUs.

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

It is going to be much easier to get debt financing or asset-based financing on GPUs, which will allow us to accelerate our GPU bare metal program. We feel comfortable that we will get the financing separately from the data center for growth for GPUs.

Operator

Thank you. Our fourth question. Given your sites in North Tonawanda, Buffalo, New York, does the one-year moratorium on data centers in New York impact your ability to meet your targets of exiting 2027, delivering on 10 MW for NeoCloudz and 99 additional 50 MW for colocation data centers for HPC?

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

So great. I get these questions a lot from many shareholders. I want you to appreciate, shareholders, that we've been running, combining legacy operation there since 2016 on one site and since 2021 on another site. We were fully permitted then to run at these two sites on the moratorium law, which is not a new law. It was always there for the last four years or five years, and we are grandfathered in New York. We cannot expand our current footprint of power. I think we are using 60 MW in North Tonawanda, and we are using 18 MW in Buffalo. We are allowed to use the same power. We are not allowed, for now, to expand power.

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

But our goal is to just convert another colocation deal of 40 MW-50 MW and GPU-as-a-service or bare metal for another 8 MW-10 MW. That's our goal for 2027. We have plenty of power there to sink our goal.

Operator

Thank you. Question number five. Please provide an update on the LOI Omnis Pleasants, LLC, owner of the Pleasants Power Station, a 1.3 GW power generation facility in West Virginia.

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

So great. The owners of that power plant, one of the owners is Ajay Gupta, he's on my board of directors. We signed an LOI. It's a monumental asset. 1.3 GW is huge. I do not want to be involved in the battle there on the power plant side. I just want to get land, access to the electrical infrastructure, and utilize utility power of up to 1.3 GW. I'm working very hard with my board member, to try to establish a growth path starting with 100 MW up to 1.3 GW, because the infrastructure is there, without being involved in potential liabilities of that power plant. That's why it's a little bit slow. In any event, it will be more for an end of 2027 to 2030 growth pattern event.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question: What is the current strategy for company's North Carolina property holdings?

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

We own two lands over there, about 40 acres. We acquired, within the last 12 months, an additional adjacent land so we can properly design and build an adequate data center there. We are in the process with Duke Energy and the zoning to get all the necessary load studies, permits for a major data center. We believe that we will be able to utilize that asset towards 2029, 2030 with an additional 150 MW-200 MW of power. We are trying to plan our growth through all these sites from now till 2030, 2031. If we just succeed in converting or pivoting in colocation and GPU bare metal, half of these assets will become a huge, huge, huge company.

Operator

Thank you. Next question. What is the current strategy for. I'm sorry. What is happening with US Data Centers Inc.? Any updates?

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

Yes. The reason why US Data Center owns 48% today from 55%, is that we started to raise separately dollars in order to avoid taking the cash that we need 100% on the balance sheets of Digi Power to fuel current data centers and future data centers growth. We cannot be distracted in financing basically an equipment business, which is US Data Center purpose, to basically design, manufacture modular system, mini data centers, prefabricated, that you assemble in different sites. We did not want to distract or pull any cash from the Digi Power pool. We started to raise money on this separately, and we raised money up to a $125 million pre-revenue valuation. We plan to raise a little bit more on a higher valuation. Yoel Tamir plan for 2027 is to deliver to different sites modular systems, like a piece of equipment.

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

It is a complete different business purpose than Digi Power, which is in the power and data center processing and GPU bare metal.

Operator

Thank you. Our last question: Is the company still using its ATM vehicle? How were the funds utilized? What are your strategies to mitigate shareholder dilution? Also, please provide an update on the company's debt financing discussions.

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

That is one of the most important concern from all shareholders, including myself, the biggest shareholder. It is sometimes the ATM is a necessary evil, and 100%, I can assure you that with $1 million last year, $1.7 million last year of cash, I could never take off, borrow, or stop any type of AI business. Impossible. I had to position the company in a way where we could be eligible to attract lenders with a strong balance sheet. Of course, everything has to be done in measures, and I think we raised most of our ATM capital early Q2 at an average of, I am not going to guarantee the average, but much higher of our stock price today. I think our last ATM draw was at $7.25 or $7.50 a share. We did not draw any dollars below that, if my memory serves right.

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

Now we accumulated enough cash to, A, self-fund most of the data center of Alabama, so we are not at risk of execution from a financial perspective. I think that it was very important to secure the execution of that first data center, which is a real catalyst for us. Then, how can I talk to a lender if I do not have cash sitting on my balance sheet? Lenders want to see cash, strong balance sheets, specifically this year. Now, because we have a strong balance sheet, and I will talk about our company debt financing discussions today, we ended up engaging Goldman Sachs, a very reputable bank that has proven to be able to syndicate a lot of financing for very big companies.

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

We are very confident that we will lend debt financing for not only this project, which we will get cash back because we already, as we stated earlier, we already CapExed over $110 million. So we are going to get cash back. We are going to preserve a strong balance sheet. We found a great financial partner, not only for this year, but for next year and the next few years of growth. We have all the cards in our hands. A little bit of faith from our shareholders, the same faith that I give to my company, that I invested privately 10 years ago, and we will be in a very amazing situation in the next three months to six months. You have to appreciate that in 12 months, we changed that company numbers dramatically. We went from $1.7 million to $150 million of cash today plus $110 million of CapEx.

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

That is a huge delta. We went from $37 million of assets to $279 million of assets. You have a company that has real assets with a very, in my opinion, low market cap compared to the assets and compared to the cash. So we are very close to execute our plan. We execute. That is our mission. We are focused on the execution. We have all the elements to do so, and next quarter, we should have a great update for you guys.

Operator

Thank you. We have reached the end of the question and answer session. Therefore, Michel, do you have any closing remarks?

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

I think I just did it. That was my closing remarks. I need to be focused, and all the team focused at work. I wanted to add that subsequently, we are building a very smart team in Silicon Valley with our CTO, Jag. We have very talented engineers building the layer of software for GPU-as-a-service. We got an office that will be open soon. Actually, very close to Cerebras Systems, NVIDIA, Supermicro. We plan to offer more, to be all vertical in all the different layers of this business. The team we are building, some come from, like Jag from Oracle, where he worked for 11 years there as a big 2 GW data centers. So I think we are in good shape. We just need to push, focus. The path is there. Okay? It is all about execution.

Michel Amar
Michel Amar
CEO at Digi Power X

We are closing the loop on the financial answers to mitigate dilution. That's the goal for-- it's my goal. It's the goal for every company, but sometimes you have to get to a spot where you're eligible for debt financing. We are there now. Thank you, everyone.

Operator

Thank you. This concludes today's conference. You may disconnect your line at this time. Have a good day.
