By
NEW YORK, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — WhiteFiber, Inc. (Nasdaq: WYFI) (“WhiteFiber” or the “Company”), a leading provider of AI infrastructure and high-performance computing solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Sam Tabar, Chief Executive Officer of WhiteFiber, said:
“WhiteFiber delivered a solid first quarter, with year-over-year revenue growth, strong gross margins, and positive adjusted EBITDA, while continuing to invest in the AI infrastructure platform we are building.
During the quarter and subsequent period, we made meaningful progress across our core priorities. NC-1 continued to advance through construction and commissioning, Duke Energy completed the work required to deliver 54 megawatts of gross utility power to the site, and we remain focused on bringing the initial 40-megawatt IT load deployment into service under our long-term colocation agreement with Nscale. MTL-3 also completed its first full quarter of operations supporting Cerebras, and subsequent to quarter-end, we completed the purchase of the facility, giving us greater control over a revenue-generating asset with potential expansion upside over time.
Demand for high-density AI infrastructure remains very strong. Customers need power, speed, and partners who can execute. We believe our pipeline continues to improve in both quality and scale, and we are advancing multiple larger site opportunities where we believe customer demand, power availability, financing, and execution planning can align from the outset.
In cloud, we have made significant progress repositioning the business toward longer-duration enterprise deployments, managed infrastructure services, and next-generation GPU capacity. Recent customer wins and late-stage opportunities demonstrate growing traction behind this strategy, with structures that include customer prepayments and project-level equipment financing.
The first part of 2026 has been about preparing WhiteFiber for its next stage of growth. As NC-1 moves toward initial revenue, the project-level financing process advances, and the cloud strategy gains traction, we believe the pieces are coming together to demonstrate the development flywheel we are building: secure strategic sites, match them with high-quality customer demand, finance projects efficiently, deliver capacity, and recycle capital into the next opportunity.”
First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
Total revenue of $21.9 million, up 31% year-over-year from $16.8 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Cloud services revenue of $16.8 million, up 13.0% year-over-year from $14.8 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Colocation services revenue of $4.8 million, up 190.2% year-over-year from $1.6 million in the prior-year period, driven by the commencement of operations at MTL-3 in October 2025.
Gross profit, excluding depreciation and amortization, of approximately $13.2 million, representing gross margin of approximately 60.2%, compared to approximately $10.1 million and gross margin of approximately 60.5% in the first quarter of 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $3.0 million, compared to approximately $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Net loss of $12.0 million, compared to net income of $1.4 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by higher general and administrative expenses, including share-based compensation and standalone public company costs, as well as higher depreciation and amortization and interest expense.
Recent Business Highlights
Advanced construction and commissioning activities at the Company’s NC-1 data center campus in Madison, North Carolina. Duke Energy has completed the work required to deliver the initial 54 gross MW of utility power to the site, supporting the Company’s planned initial 40 MW IT load deployment under its colocation agreement with Nscale Global Holdings, which is backed by an investment-grade hyperscaler offtake. The Company is working through a recently identified supply-chain-related issue affecting certain medium-voltage switchgear components and continues to expect to begin delivering capacity to Nscale during the second quarter of 2026, with full revenue contribution expected to begin during the third quarter of 2026 as the facility reaches its contractual capacity.
Completed the purchase of the Company’s MTL-3 facility in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec in May 2026, following the exercise of its previously disclosed purchase option. The transaction strengthens WhiteFiber’s ownership of strategic data center infrastructure and is expected to reduce lease payments by approximately CAD $3.1 million annually over the remaining term.
Reported remaining performance obligations of approximately $921.0 million for colocation services as of March 31, 2026, primarily reflecting long-term contracted revenue visibility from the Company’s NC-1 colocation agreement.
In May 2026, the Company entered into a two-year agreement with Hyperbolic for approximately $17 million of total contract value, supporting Modal Labs as the end customer. The deployment utilizes H200 GPUs from WhiteFiber’s existing owned fleet and does not require incremental GPU capital expenditures. The deployment is expected to begin contributing revenue in June 2026. As a reference partner, Modal Labs will support ongoing R&D through input on design and development.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents of $75.8 million and restricted cash of $4.3 million as of March 31, 2026.
During the first quarter, the Company completed a $230.0 million private placement of 4.5% convertible senior notes due 2031. The notes were issued with an initial conversion price of $25.91 per share, representing a 27.5% premium to the Company’s share price at pricing. In connection with the transaction, the Company also entered into a zero-strike call structure designed to materially reduce potential dilution.
In March 2026, WhiteFiber Iceland ehf., a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a secured term loan facility with Landsbankinn hf. providing up to $20.0 million of available borrowings. The facility is secured by WhiteFiber Iceland shares and designated assets, including GPU servers and related equipment. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company drew $18.0 million under the facility.
Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company entered into an amended credit agreement with RBC providing for a CAD $28.0 million facility to support the acquisition of the MTL-3 facility. The acquisition closed in May 2026.

In HelloNation, Custom Fabrication Expert Mark Coyle Explains a Common Mistake in Custom Aluminum Design
Published
8 hours agoon
October 24, 2026By
The article explains why smart geometry, not thicker walls, creates stronger, more efficient aluminum components.
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What early design choice causes many custom aluminum projects to become heavier, costlier, or harder to manufacture? That question is addressed in a HelloNation article featuring insights from Custom Fabrication Expert Mark Coyle of American Custom Metals, Inc. in Rochester, New York, that outlines how misunderstanding aluminum behavior leads designers to rely on thick walls instead of stronger geometry.
The article begins by explaining that many people assume thicker walls automatically make aluminum parts stronger. It notes that aluminum does not respond to wall thickness the way steel does. Instead, its performance is shaped by how the metal flows through the extrusion die. The article states that custom aluminum design is more effective when profiles use ribs, chambers, and flanges to create stiffness without adding unnecessary weight. This guidance helps readers understand why adding material often increases cost without improving strength.
The article also highlights that thicker walls change how aluminum moves during extrusion. When heavy areas fill more slowly, the metal cools unevenly and can develop stress that only appears later. The HelloNation piece explains that well-balanced geometry keeps extrusion smooth and predictable. This consistency makes it easier to maintain dimensional accuracy across long production runs. By focusing on geometry, custom aluminum design avoids the problems that come with slow extrusion speeds and uneven cooling.
Another insight in the article centers on how ribs and internal supports influence stability. It describes how a thin wall supported by a properly placed rib often performs better than a thick wall with no reinforcement. This happens because the rib helps distribute load, improve stiffness, and guide the aluminum as it cools. The article explains that this structural approach makes custom aluminum design more efficient and gives designers more control over how the final part behaves under pressure.
The article also shows why early collaboration between designer and fabricator prevents costly changes. It states that a fabricator familiar with extrusion can catch potential issues before a die is built. Small adjustments to corners or transitions can remove weak points or improve metal flow. The article notes that this teamwork keeps the design aligned with real-world production. By working together early, both sides reduce the risk of redesigning the die after the first test run.
Machining is another area where the article explains how wall thickness affects performance. Features such as deep pockets or sharp internal angles may require slow feed rates or special tooling. When walls are thicker than needed, those areas can become difficult to machine cleanly. The article states that thoughtful custom aluminum design makes machining more predictable. Small changes, such as adding radiused edges or sizing features to match standard tools, help shorten cycle times and prevent tool wear.
Thermal behavior receives detailed attention as well. The article explains that aluminum retains heat differently depending on the mass of each section. Thicker walls hold heat longer, which increases the chance of distortion during extrusion, machining, or finishing. When a design uses geometry to create strength, the material cools more evenly. This reduces warping and helps long profiles stay aligned. The article notes that stable cooling is important for components that require a precise fit and consistent shape throughout an entire production run.
Cost is also a key topic in the article. It states that heavier profiles increase material use, extrusion time, and tooling needs. A custom aluminum design that relies on geometry instead of mass lowers material consumption and keeps the fabrication process efficient. The article explains that lighter parts are easier to handle, ship, and assemble. This saves money across multiple stages of production and supports long-term manufacturing efficiency.
The article also notes that smart custom aluminum design creates profiles that behave predictably during extrusion and machining. Smooth transitions, balanced wall dimensions, and structural features help reduce the chance of distortion or dimensional drift. These elements also lower scrap rates and support reliable performance. By using geometry instead of excess material, designers build parts that maintain strength without compromising manufacturability.
As the article concludes, it emphasizes that avoiding thick walls is one of the best ways to improve performance and lower cost. It states that the most dependable custom aluminum components come from designs that use structural features to strengthen the profile. When designers understand how aluminum behaves at each stage of extrusion and machining, they create parts that are strong, efficient, and consistent from batch to batch. This approach turns custom aluminum design into a predictable process rather than a series of uncertain adjustments.
A Common Mistake in Custom Aluminum Design features insights from Mark Coyle, Custom Fabrication Expert of Rochester, NY, in HelloNation.
