Northern Data reports surge in Q3 revenue, upholds 2024 forecast

The company's adjusted EBITDA also saw a substantial increase, reaching EUR 25 million.

The company's financial position has been bolstered by a successful capital raise of EUR 214 million in July, which has funded further strategic investments.

Operational highlights for the company include a partnership with Supermicro to roll out NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs, enhancing its GenAI offering. The company is also advancing the retrofit of its Pittsburgh data center and evaluating additional acquisition prospects. Its mining operations in Corpus Christi, Texas, came online in Q3 and are on track to achieve the expected 7.9EH/s by year-end.
