Hyperscale Data, Inc. (GPUS)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Preliminary Q2 2025 revenue was $25.8M, up 45% year-over-year versus $17.8M in Q2 2024; sequentially roughly flat versus Q1’s “surpassing $25 million” preliminary revenue .
- Full-year 2025 revenue guidance was raised and reaffirmed to $125–$135M, with non-GAAP pro forma 2025 revenue potential of $155–$165M assuming Gresham Worldwide reconsolidation; Gresham is expected to contribute ~$10M in Q4 2025 revenue on reconsolidation .
- Balance sheet strengthened: cash and restricted cash ~$27M and total assets ~$214M as of June 30, 2025; consolidated non-affiliated debt reduced by ~$25M YTD, which management frames as enabling Michigan AI campus expansion toward 340 MW .
- Strategic catalysts: Michigan AI data center buildout plan (30 MW current; path to 70 MW in ~20 months and 340 MW in ~44 months from utility agreement) and natural-gas infrastructure design agreement for ~40 MW incremental on-site power; management highlights high-margin software and fintech recovery as additional growth drivers .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Q2 revenue growth of 45% YoY to $25.8M driven by lending/trading (Ault Lending), TurnOnGreen, and hotel asset performance: “We are growing revenue, reducing debt and building a foundation for scalable, high-margin software” — CEO William B. Horne .
- Material deleveraging: “reduced debt by over $20 million year-to-date” (Aug 4) and “approximately $25 million year-to-date” (Aug 8), improving capital structure and flexibility ahead of AI data center expansion .
- Visibility into 2025 and beyond: reaffirmed FY25 revenue guidance of $125–$135M and reconsolidation path for Gresham Worldwide (court approval; expected emergence Oct 1), with anticipated contribution to revenue profile .
What Went Wrong
- Limited disclosure: No EPS, margin, or detailed segment revenue provided in Q2 materials; figures are preliminary and unaudited pending the 10-Q, constraining estimate benchmarking and margin analysis .
- Timing and execution risk: Michigan power upgrade and 340 MW buildout depend on definitive utility agreements, financing, and regulatory approvals; plan spans 44 months from agreement execution, delaying near-term contribution to revenue .
- Bankruptcy/reconsolidation risk: Prior deconsolidation of defense unit (Giga‑tronics/Gresham) due to Chapter 11; while reconsolidation is anticipated, there is no assurance of success, introducing uncertainty into pro forma outlook .

Q&A Highlights

Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus estimates for Q2 2025 revenue and EPS were unavailable; actual Q2 revenue was $25.8M (+45% YoY). Given the raised FY25 guidance to $125–$135M and planned reconsolidation of Gresham (~$10M in Q4; pro forma $40M annualized), Street models may need upward adjustments to FY25 revenue, with limited near-term changes to margin assumptions until the 10‑Q provides detail .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Momentum with fiscal discipline: 45% YoY revenue growth alongside ~$25M YTD debt reduction improves flexibility for AI campus investments .
- Guidance raised and reaffirmed: FY25 revenue outlook at $125–$135M with visibility on Q4 contribution from Gresham; non‑GAAP pro forma scenario highlights 2025 revenue potential if reconsolidated earlier .
- Infrastructure milestones: Michigan roadmap to 340 MW and SEMCO gas infrastructure design for ~40 MW indicate tangible progress, though contributions are weighted beyond 2025 .
- High‑margin software optionality: Tokenization/blockchain applications expected to begin recurring revenue in late 2025, potentially improving mix and margins over time .
- Near-term trading lens: Catalysts include formal reconsolidation of Gresham (Oct 1), monthly digital asset updates, and additional Michigan utility agreements; absence of EPS/margin disclosure until the 10‑Q is a gating factor for multiple expansion .
- Medium-term thesis: Pure‑play transition to AI/HPC data centers plus software flywheel, supported by improving balance sheet and capital access (shelf), positions the story for scalability with execution risks around utility contracts, funding, and timelines .
