Quarterly revenue reaches $14.8 million, doubling sequentially for the second straight quarter; cumulative signed customer contract value surpasses $500 million.
ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)– $QMLS #NASDAQ –QumulusAI (Nasdaq: QMLS), a neocloud infrastructure provider purpose-built for the AI computing era, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
“Revenue doubled again this quarter, and remaining performance obligations grew to $515.0 million from $173.1 million at the end of the second quarter. That’s the model doing its job: we sell the capacity before we energize it, we deploy into pockets of existing power, and we bring it online in months, not years,” said Michael Maniscalco, CEO of QumulusAI. “And the third quarter is still early in that ramp. We had compute coming online throughout the quarter, and into the fourth, so much of it hasn’t yet billed for a full period.”
Third Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
All comparisons, unless otherwise noted, are to the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Revenue of $14.8 million, an increase of $11.7 million, or 376%, from $3.1 million. Compute power revenue grew to $14.1 million, or approximately 96% of total revenue, from $1.4 million, or approximately 47% of total revenue.
Operating loss of $41.6 million, compared to $2.8 million. The increase reflects a $13.4 million increase 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, including $26.4 million related to shares of common stock issued for professional services in connection with the company’s direct listing, and headcount growth.
Net loss of $14.4 million, compared to a net loss of $9.5 million. The current period includes $32.3 million of non-cash gains from changes in the fair value of the convertible note, the related option and the warrant liability; the prior-year period included a $4.8 million non-cash loss from the change in fair value of the warrant liability.
Adjusted EBITDA of $3.7 million, our first positive quarter, compared to a loss of $0.6 million, driven by growth in compute revenue.
Recent Corporate Developments
Active capacity has reached 8 MW.
Cumulative signed customer contract value surpassed $500 million, reaching $528.7 million.
Signed $240.9 million in new three-year take-or-pay agreements, covering more than 2,000 NVIDIA Blackwell B300 GPUs across two dedicated clusters.
Put the $71.9 million, three-year Blackwell agreement fully into production, with every GPU under the agreement billing within three months of signing.
Contracted 1.2 MW in Denver, ready for service in Q1.
Contracted 0.5 MW in Columbia, South Carolina, ready for service in December 2026.

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, common stock issued for professional services in connection with the direct listing, and gains and losses arising from the issuance, remeasurement, extinguishment or disposition of financial instruments, investments and other assets, and the settlement of lease liabilities. Net income (loss) margin is calculated as net income (loss) divided by revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
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 $13.0 million during the remainder of 2026 and approximately $53.3 million during 2027. Adjusted EBITDA as defined by the company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
