FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
QumulusAI Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results
Revenue more than doubles year over year to $6.7 million as contracted GPU capacity continues to come online; cumulative signed customer contract value reaches $282.5 million.
ATLANTA, Aug. 25, 2026 — QumulusAI (Nasdaq: QMLS), a neocloud infrastructure provider purpose-built for the AI computing era, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. This is the company’s first quarterly report since it began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on July 16, 2026.
"This was the quarter our model started proving itself," said Michael Maniscalco, CEO of QumulusAI. "AI Compute we had already sold came online and started generating revenue. We signed 21 new direct contracts in the quarter, and last week we contracted up to 3.75 MW in metropolitan Atlanta, our home market, with potential to expand at the same site. Demand is not our constraint. Deploying against it faster than competitors is our goal."
"Revenue more than doubled year over year and gross margin expanded to 67%, as GPU activations grew revenue faster than colocation costs," said Scott Krosnowski, CFO of QumulusAI. "Our most recent Blackwell contracts are generating between $18 million and $20 million of annualized revenue per megawatt, compared with just over $16 million across the installed base. Customers are also committing and paying ahead of delivery — deferred revenue rose $30.5 million in the first half, contributing to $22.3 million of operating cash flow."
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
All comparisons, unless otherwise noted, are to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
| ● | Revenue of $6.7 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 118%, from $3.1 million. Compute power revenue grew to $5.6 million, or approximately 84% of total revenue, from $1.3 million, or approximately 43% of total revenue. |
| ● | Gross profit of $4.5 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 163%, from $1.7 million. Gross margin expanded to 67% from 55%. |
| ● | Operating loss of $7.7 million, compared to $2.2 million. The increase reflects a $5.8 million rise in depreciation and amortization tied to expanded HPC (High-Performance Computing) infrastructure, as well as higher general and administrative costs associated with public company readiness and headcount growth. |
| ● | Net loss of $22.8 million, compared to net income of $12.1 million. The current period includes a $19.2 million non-cash loss on the issuance of convertible notes; the prior-year period included a $14.5 million non-cash gain on remeasurement of the Company's investment in The Cloud Minders. |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.8 million, compared to a loss of $0.3 million, as revenue growth was offset by increased operating costs associated with public company readiness and personnel. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the company presents Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. QumulusAI’s reasons for use of this measure and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure and other information are included at the end of this release. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or any other measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)
The accompanying press release refers to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure is supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures presented in the accompanying release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, net; income tax expense (benefit); and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and gains and losses arising from the issuance, remeasurement, extinguishment or disposition of financial instruments, investments and other assets.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance, establish budgets and forecasts and make operational decisions. The company believes the measure is useful to investors because it excludes items that management does not consider indicative of the underlying operating performance of the business, and because it facilitates comparison of results across periods.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or any other measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Among other limitations, Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization of assets that are central to the company’s ability to generate revenue, and excludes interest expense and amortization associated with the company’s finance lease obligations, under which the company expects to make payments of approximately $9.3 million during the remainder of 2026 and approximately $20.0 million during 2027. Adjusted EBITDA as defined by the company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
