Total revenues came in at $42.2 million in the second quarter, a surge of 242% year-over-year, but still fell short of Street estimates of $55.6 million.
More disappointingly, due to a delay in the delivery of networking components for GPU clusters, Applied Digital now anticipates that its revenues and EBITDA will be in the lower range of its previously issued guidance for FY24. In FY24, the company expects an annual revenue run rate of around $500 million and an annualized adjusted EBITDA run rate of $250 million.
