The net loss narrowed to $263 million from $684 million, and adjusted EBITDA rose to $66 million from $19 million, with an AI cloud segment gross margin of 86 percent.

The company said its target of more than $4 billion in annualized run rate revenue is fully contracted and fully funded, but is now targeted for January 2027, and may extend to the end of February, after a customer requested design change and supplier timing moved it from year end 2026.

Of $15 billion in remaining fiscal 2027 capital spending, $9 billion is covered by cash and committed GPU financing and prepayments, and $6 billion is to come from target GPU financing, prepayments, data center financing and other corporate sources subject to market conditions.
