COPPELL, Texas, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Csquare, Inc. (NYSE: CSQR) ("Csquare" or the "Company"), a leading provider of carrier-neutral data center solutions, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

"Our second quarter results demonstrate the disciplined execution by our team and the continued strength of Csquare's platform," said Spencer Mullee, Chief Executive Officer of Csquare. "We delivered 14.5% revenue growth, achieved a record $64.7 million in bookings, increased Adjusted EBITDA by 21%, and continued to benefit from strong demand for our carrier-neutral digital infrastructure platform."

"These results reflect the durability of our recurring revenue model, the strength of customer demand across our markets, and the operating leverage inherent in our business as Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 330 basis points to 46.2%. We also reached an important milestone with the successful completion of our initial public offering in July, positioning Csquare with enhanced financial flexibility to support our long-term growth strategy."

"Demand for high-quality digital infrastructure continues to accelerate as customers expand cloud deployments, AI-enabled workloads, and mission-critical connectivity requirements. We believe our diversified portfolio, disciplined capital allocation strategy, and deep customer relationships position Csquare to capitalize on these long-term secular growth trends while creating sustainable value for shareholders."

Second Quarter 2026 Results Summary
Revenues
Revenue excluding metered power increased 12.3% to $260.2 million, underscoring the continued strength of the Company's recurring revenue base and customer expansion activity. 

Second quarter total revenue increased 14.5% year-over-year to $280.4 million, compared to $244.8 million in the prior-year period. Growth was driven by continued demand for the Company's colocation platform, customer deployments across existing and newly acquired facilities, and expansion of recurring infrastructure services.

Commercial Activity
Commercial momentum remained strong throughout the quarter as Csquare generated record bookings of $64.7 million, exceeding management's expectations. Quarterly bookings represent the annualized value of new and expansion customer contracts executed during the quarter and serve as a leading indicator of future recurring revenue growth.

Demand was broad-based across enterprise customers, cloud and network providers, and large-scale infrastructure deployments. Management believes the diversity of bookings across customer segments, deployment sizes, workload types, and geographic markets demonstrates the resilience of demand and supports continued long-term growth across the platform. 

Net Loss
Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $48.8 million, compared to a net loss of $13.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher interest expense and one-time expenses related to the Company's initial public offering.

After quarter end, the Company completed its initial public offering and used a significant portion of the proceeds to repay debt, eliminating approximately $63 million of annualized interest expense. As a result, both the elevated interest expense and the one-time IPO-related costs reflected in the second quarter are not indicative of the Company's expected go-forward earnings profile.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA increased 21.0% year-over-year to $120.3 million, compared to $99.4 million in the second quarter of 2025.Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 46.2%, compared to 42.9% in the prior-year period, reflecting continued revenue growth, disciplined operating execution, and the inherent operating leverage of the Company's highly recurring business model.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss is included in the financial tables accompanying this release. 

Funds From Operations
Funds from Operations for the second quarter of 2026 were $40.8 million, compared to funds from operations of $50.2 million during the second quarter of 2025, representing a 18.9% decline year-over-year. The decrease was primarily the result of an increase in net loss, which was primarily driven by higher interest expense.

A reconciliation of FFO to Net Loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is included in the financial tables accompanying this release.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA because certain items that affect the comparable GAAP measure cannot be reasonably provided without unreasonable effort.

Business Highlights

• Generated record bookings of $64.7 million, marking the Company's 13th consecutive quarter of sequential bookings growth and reflecting sustained demand across enterprise, cloud, and network customers.
• Expanded contracted power capacity by 44% year-over-year to 410 MW, supported by strategic acquisitions and continued customer deployments. Contracted utilization reached 107%, demonstrating demand that exceeds current sellable capacity and is supported by the Company's development pipeline and planned capacity expansions.
• Executed strategic portfolio optimization initiatives through the divestiture of two underperforming leased data centers. As a result, sellable capacity totaled 385 MW as of June 30, 2026, while improving the overall quality and efficiency of the Company's operating portfolio.
• Improved customer retention, with quarterly net revenue churn declining to 2.4%, compared to 2.9% in the prior-year period, reflecting continued customer satisfaction and the resilience of the Company's recurring revenue base.
• Continued investing in long-term growth, deploying $128 million of growth capital expenditures during the quarter while investing an additional $15 million in recurring capital expenditures to maintain and enhance the Company's core infrastructure platform.

IPO Highlights
During July 2026, Csquare successfully completed its initial public offering of 50.0 million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $21.00 per share and commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NYSE: CSQR.

The IPO represents a significant milestone in the Company's evolution and strengthens its ability to execute its long-term growth strategy. As a public company, Csquare believes it is well positioned to benefit from enhanced access to capital markets, increased visibility among customers and investors, and greater strategic and financial flexibility.

On July 27, 2026, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 7,499,000 shares at the initial public offering price. The offering generated approximately $1.16 billion in net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and commissions.

The Company used the net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness, significantly reducing leverage and strengthening its balance sheet to support future investment opportunities. The debt repayment is expected to reduce the Company's annual interest expense by approximately $63 million, improving future earnings and cash flow.

Management believes its strengthened capital structure, diversified digital infrastructure platform, and continued investment in capacity expansion position Csquare to capitalize on favorable long-term industry trends and create sustainable value for shareholders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and FFO. Management believes these measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the Company's operating performance, cash-generating ability, and underlying business trends. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the accompanying financial tables.

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, though we believe evaluating our ongoing results of operations may be difficult if limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, we use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our evaluation of our operations.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively with our U.S. GAAP financial statements, may be helpful to investors because they allow for greater transparency into what measures we use in operating our business and measuring our performance and enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where items may vary independent of business performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for net (loss) income, or any other measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as applicable, and should be considered together with our GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income, excluding (i) income taxes, (ii) interest expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gain on lease modification, (v) loss on extinguishment of debt, (vi) bargain purchase gain, (vii) other income (loss), net, and (viii) transaction and other costs. Transaction and other costs consist primarily of acquisition and integration costs, restructuring costs, costs associated with our initial public offering, and employee loan extinguishment expenses directly attributable to specific transactions. The employee loan extinguishment costs are recorded within Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of our operating performance and to assess the results of our business excluding certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of data centers and other real estate companies. However, because Adjusted EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and income taxes, which represent significant recurring cash charges necessary to operate our business, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of our business, it should not be considered a measure of liquidity or an indicator of our cash flows and its utility as a measure of our performance is limited. Further, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash requirements or our ability to generate cash to meet those obligations. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do and, as a result, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other companies' Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for net (loss) income or any other performance measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Note: Adjusted EBITDA margin excludes metered power revenue.

Funds from Operations 
Management uses FFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in the real estate industry. This measure is used by management to evaluate performance corresponding to the retail colocation data center industry which has similarities to other real estate type companies. FFO is calculated in accordance with the standards approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. FFO represents net (loss) income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding, when applicable (i) loss or gain from the disposition of real estate assets, (ii) depreciation and amortization and (iii) impairment write-downs of real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding the items identified in the calculation, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in utilization rates, pricing and operating costs. In addition, we believe FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of data centers and other real estate companies. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and does not capture the changes in the value of our data centers that result from use or market conditions, or the level of capital expenditures necessary to maintain the operating performance of our data centers, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other companies may calculate FFO differently than we do and, as a result, FFO may not be comparable to other companies' FFO. Accordingly, FFO should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net (loss) income or any other performance measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $20.9 million, or 21%, to $120.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $99.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased by $42.9 million, or 23%, to $228.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $185.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase reflected continued improvement in operating performance across our platform, driven by growth in recurring colocation and interconnection revenues and operating leverage from our cost structure.

FFO decreased by $9.5 million, or 18.9%, to $40.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $50.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and decreased by $19.7 million, or 25%, to $59.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $79.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in net loss, primarily driven by higher interest expense resulting from the assumption of the 2021 ABS Notes in connection with the 2025 Portfolio Acquisition and interest incurred on additional ABS notes issued during the latter part of 2025. These impacts were partially offset by improved operating performance driven by growth in recurring revenue and a gain on lease modification incurred during the second quarter.

The following table presents the calculation of FFO for the periods presented, with a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP metric:
