WhiteFiber, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Results

Published

on

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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our ability to capture demand in the market, prospective customer demand, the timing for completion of the initial 24-megawatt phase at our NC-1 facility, our pipeline, our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, our expected contracted revenue, the anticipated timing and deploying of the information technology load, our position and ability to support AI infrastructure demand, our ability to capture the next phase of growth in AI infrastructure, and our ability to formalize contracts with our customers. These statements are based on current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. These statements may be identified by words such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “will allow us to” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “expected”, “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “outlook” or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by law. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release.

Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained herein are reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as projected financial information and other information are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. All information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise occurring after the date of this communication.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measure: adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of this financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use adjusted EBITDA for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We define adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net (loss) income before interest expense, income tax expenses, and depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expenses and net gain from disposal of property, plant and equipment. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides helpful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core business operating results. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to adjusted EBITDA in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. Adjusted EBITDA also facilitates management’s internal comparisons to our historical performance and comparisons to our competitors’ operating results. We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors both because it (i) allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (ii) is used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business.

The items excluded from adjusted EBITDA may have a material impact on our financial results. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA is presented as supplemental disclosure and should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP. We refer investors to the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income included below consolidated results.

Women Leaders Association Names Dr. Megan Laabs as First Washington Coaching Partner, Bringing Brain Science to Executive Coaching for the Region’s Women Professionals

Published

on

By

New Coaching Partners program connects the association’s Washington members with rigorously vetted, proven executive coaches — beginning with a Harvard-trained clinical neuropsychologist who spent 13 years with the Department of Defense, including nine advising senior leaders at the Office of Naval Intelligence

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Women Leaders Association, the largest publisher and events organization for women professionals with 43,000 members and more than 130 regional chapters, today announced Dr. Megan Laabs as the first official Coaching Partner of its Washington chapter, WashingtonWomenLeaders.org. The appointment launches the association’s new Coaching Partners program in the Washington metro area, giving members direct access to executive coaches who have been carefully screened for credentials, track record, and client results.

The Coaching Partners program was created to solve a problem the association’s members raise constantly: executive coaching is one of the highest-impact investments a professional woman can make in her career — and one of the hardest to shop for. Coaching titles are unregulated, quality varies enormously, and a leader evaluating coaches on her own has little way to verify who is genuinely proven. Under the new program, the Women Leaders Association does much of that screening on the member’s behalf. Every Coaching Partner is vetted for recognized certifications, verifiable experience, and excellent client reviews before being presented to members, so each chapter’s professionals can book a consultation with confidence, have a great experience, and keep rising in their careers.

Dr. Laabs brings a background that is genuinely rare in executive coaching. A clinical neuropsychologist and ICF Professional Certified Coach whose practice motto is “High-Performance Leadership, Backed by Science,” she spent nine years as an executive advisor at the Office of Naval Intelligence where she built an Operational Psychology Program and coached senior leaders responsible for some of the highest-stakes teams in government earning a Meritorious Civilian Service Award. She completed a postdoctoral clinical neuropsychology fellowship at Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital and treated military patients as a neuropsychologist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center before transitioning to serve in the Department of Defense. For Washington-area members, she offers a one-on-one coaching partnership focused on decision making, strategic clarity, communication, and resilience empowering clients to align their values and build confidence to show up at their best. She also offers specialized assessment tools such as the EQ-i 2.0 and Hogan to give clients a clear, data-driven foundation at any point in their coaching journey, eliminating guesswork and pinpointing where to focus for maximum growth as well as tailored leadership seminars for teams.

“Women executives are navigating more complexity and pressure than at any point in their career, and they deserve more than generic advice,” said Dr. Laabs. “My work brings the science of how the brain performs into the coaching relationship, so leaders can see their patterns clearly, build resilience, and lead with genuine confidence. I am honored to partner with the Women Leaders Association and to help Washington’s women professionals keep rising.”

Washington-area members can view Dr. Laabs’ full profile, including her focus areas and credentials, schedule a complimentary consultation directly through her calendar, or send her a private note through her page at https://WashingtonWomenLeaders.org/coaching.html?coach=MeganLaabs

“Our members tell us coaching is one of the most valuable investments they make in their careers, and also one of the most confusing purchases,” said Lydia Price, 2026 Volunteer Chair of the Women Leaders Association. “The Coaching Partners program does the heavy lifting for them. We vet every coach for credentials, experience, and reviews before they ever appear on a chapter site, so a member can walk into a free consultation knowing she is meeting a proven professional. Bringing a coach of Dr. Laabs’ caliber to our Washington members is exactly what this program was built to do.”

The Washington launch is part of a national rollout, with the association planning to extend the Coaching Partners program across its network of more than 130 chapters, pairing each city’s members with coaches selected for that market.

The Coaching Partners program extends the association’s broader mission of giving professional women both the structural transparency and the individual support they need to advance. Research from Pew and others estimates that women still earn roughly 15 percent less than men on average, and most women have little visibility into which employers actually advance women fairly. The Women Leaders Association has invested heavily in closing that information gap: its Glass Ceiling Score project, available at WomanLeaders.org/r/GlassCeiling, uses big data to score most major U.S. employers on how fairly they promote women into management and executive roles, and its chapters publish Best Women Employers rankings, compensation studies, and annual Top 50 Women Leaders awards. Coaching Partners adds the complementary, personal dimension: once a member can see the landscape clearly, a proven coach helps her move through it.

About Dr. Megan Laabs

Dr. Megan Laabs is a clinical neuropsychologist, executive advisor, and ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), and a Marshall Goldsmith-certified practitioner. She holds a Doctorate of Psychology from The George Washington University, completed her clinical neuropsychology fellowship at Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital, and earned her B.A. in psychology from Washington University in St. Louis. She works with executives, founders, and women at every stage of their career journey, and with organizations seeking assessment, team optimization, and tailored leadership seminars. Washington members can schedule a free consultation through her profile at https://WashingtonWomenLeaders.org/coaching.html?coach=MeganLaabs

About the Women Leaders Association

The Women Leaders Association is a non-profit committed to the development and advancement of women in the corporate arena. With 43,000 members and more than 130 chapters in major cities, it is the largest publisher and events organization serving women professionals, producing conferences, leadership programs, original research, and daily publications for its members. We also celebrate the top 50 business women in each city, publish a Glass Ceiling Score ranking how well most employers advance women, and then recognize the best women’s employers in each city from these rankings.

SEEKINK Market Insight: Why Color E-Paper Frame is One of Crowdfunding’s Hottest New Categories

Published

on

By

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As a leading ePaper display (EPD) module original manufacturer, SEEKINK is eager to support and help bring innovative ePaper applications across various industries to life.

SEEKINK has keenly recognized that color ePaper frames are emerging as a distinct consumer electronics category, combining paper-like display quality, ultra-low power consumption, and AI-enabled content creation.

Industry observers report that global shipments of color ePaper photo frames exceeded 30,000 units in 2025. The category is now gaining momentum across Kickstarter, with multi-innovators — Arpobot (Bloomin8), Inkanva, JITRAINNO, Weclay Paper, and others — drawing significant backer support through differentiated product approaches.

Bloomin8, one of the most market-validated entrants, raised AU$2,397,443 from 2,272 backers in its first campaign. In August 2026, Arpobot is planning to launch a second campaign featuring a new 10-inch model with E Ink Spectra 6 display and customizable “Blossom” refresh effects.

Inkanva positions itself as the world’s first self-charging e-ink canvas, using perovskite photovoltaic panels to harvest energy from indoor ambient light. Its open API supports integration with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for natural-language content control.

JITRAINNO offers AI voice-interactive artwork generation, allowing users to describe creative ideas in natural language and receive images optimized for ePaper display.

Weclay Paper is a self-updating color ePaper companion board that tailors its displayed content to the frame’s physical location and room aesthetic via AI, while offering an open SDK for custom app development.

Industry analysts attribute the category’s rise to converging factors: mature Spectra 6 color ePaper technology, bistable power consumption enabling months of battery life, and growing consumer preference for sustainable, paper-like displays.

AI integration addresses a key pain point: keeping content fresh without relying solely on personal photo libraries.

Crowdfunding success further validates global demand, with Bloomin8 exceeding its goal by 7,900% in 2025 and Weclay achieving 728% funding with 16 days remaining.

At CES 2026, 15 exhibitors featured ePaper picture frames, representing 65% of the digital photo frame category. With major panel manufacturers and brands increasing ePaper supply chain investment, the product category is expanding beyond early adopters.

Color ePaper frames are evolving from niche gadgets into mainstream home decor products, driven by ePaper technology, industrial design, AI, and sustainability converging around a new consumer experience.

About SEEKINK

Founded in 2015, SEEKINK ranks among the top 3 globally in sales of electronic paper (EPD) modules thanks to its industry-leading technical team and boasts a monthly production capacity of 20 million units. With nearly 10 localized service teams worldwide and 208 granted patents, SEEKINK provides localized technical and business support to customers across global markets, backed by robust upstream and downstream industry resources,

As one of the founding members of the EPA (ePaper Industry Alliance), SEEKINK is committed to empowering the alliance’s members (currently numbering more than 270) and promoting the adoption of ePaper technology in more innovative application areas.

As an original ePaper display module manufacturer, SEEKINK congratulates the innovators and creators driving the development of the color ePaper frame category.

SEEKINK currently provides 5.89-inch, 7.09-inch, 10-inch, 13.3-inch, 28.5-inch, and 31.5-inch ePaper frame modules, as well as complete OEM/ODM services for customers developing innovative ePaper frame products and other ePaper display applications.
