**Applied Digital Announces New U.S. Based High Investment-Grade Hyperscaler Tenant at Delta Forge 1, a 430 MW AI Factory Campus**

*New 15-Year Lease Expands Total Contracted Revenue to Over $23 Billion*

**DALLAS, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)** -- Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD), a designer, builder, and operator of high-performance, sustainably engineered data centers and colocation services for artificial intelligence, cloud, networking, and blockchain workloads, today announced it has entered into a lease agreement with a new U.S. based high investment-grade hyperscaler at its 430 MW AI Factory campus, Delta Forge 1.

This lease represents approximately $7.5 billion in total contracted value over an estimated 15-year lease term and covers 300 megawatts (MW) of critical IT load, purpose-built to support the hyperscaler's artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance compute (HPC) infrastructure.

With this agreement, the tenant becomes Applied Digital's second U.S. based investment-grade hyperscaler across three AI Factory campuses. This addition expands total contracted lease revenue to over $23 billion and further diversifies the company's customer base with a third hyperscale tenant. More than 50% of total contracted revenue is now backed by investment-grade customers.

"We remain focused on delivering operational AI capacity at scale," said Wes Cummins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Applied Digital. "With this agreement, we now have two U.S. based investment-grade hyperscalers across our portfolio, marking an important step in the continued diversification of our customer base and strengthening the overall quality and visibility of our contracted revenue. Our priority remains execution –– bringing capacity online on schedule and operating it with discipline over the long term."

Delta Forge 1 is Applied Digital's newest AI Factory campus, spanning more than 500 acres and designed from the ground up to support large-scale AI workloads. The campus integrates high-density power delivery, advanced cooling architecture, and disciplined operational design to enable consistent performance at scale.

Built on Applied Digital's repeatable AI Factory model, Delta Forge 1 is engineered to support both training and inference workloads in high-density environments. Initial operations at Delta Forge 1 are anticipated to commence in mid-2027.

In other development-related activity, Applied Digital expects to enter into an up to $300 million senior secured bridge facility to fund continued development of the 150 MW Building 3 data center located on its Polaris Forge 1 campus, and an up to $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility to fund pre-lease and post-lease development activities across Applied Digital's platform, as well as general working capital needs and transaction expenses. These

------

credit facilities are expected to be on customary market terms for facilities of this type, to close promptly, and be provided by a syndicate of bank lenders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Investor Presentation contains the following financial measures: Net Operating Income (NOI) and NOI Margin (as defined below), each of which is not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to aid investors in better understanding the factors and trends affecting the Company's performance and liquidity. However, investors should not consider these non- GAAP financial measures as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, including net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, or revenue. The Company cannot reconcile itsexpected site NOI and NOI Margin without unreasonable effort because certain items that impactnet operating income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time. Net Operating Income (NOI) and NOI Margin are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company defines as follows: NOI represents rental revenue less rental property operating expenses, property taxes and insurance expenses (as reflected in the statement of operations). NOI Margin is a ratio calculated by dividing NOI by aggregate rental revenue and is expressed as a percentage ("NOI margin"). NOI is commonly used by stockholders, a company's management and industry analysts as a measurement of operating per formance of the company's rental portfolio. However, because NOI excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the Company's data centers that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's data centers, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact the Company's results of operations, the utility of NOI and NOI Margin as measures of the Company's performance is limited. Other companies, including REITs, may calculate NOI and NOI Margin differently than we do and, accordingly, our NOI and NOI Margin may not be comparable to these companies' NOI and NOI Margin. These non- GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to financial measures such as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, as measures of Company's performance. NOI reflects expected stabilized net operating income and is a non- GAAP financial measure. Actual results may differ materially due to lease-up timing, operating costs, and other factors.
