Management Commentary
"In the second quarter, we established the commercial, infrastructure, and capital foundations for Sharon AI's next phase of growth at scale," said James Manning, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sharon AI. "Customer engagement continues to broaden and deepen, reflecting strong demand for secure, high-performance AI infrastructure and a growing recognition that access to power, compute and data sovereignty will be critical constraints as AI adoption accelerates.
"Our focus is on converting that demand and our contracted commitments into durable revenue growth and long-term shareholder value through disciplined execution. We are on track to bring contracted capacity online in accordance with our deployment schedule, while maintaining a thoughtful approach to capital allocation and pace of expansion. Revenue is expected to ramp materially from the third quarter of 2026 through 2027. With an experienced leadership team backed by deep technical and operating expertise across the business, a best-in-class partner ecosystem and a strengthened balance sheet, we believe Sharon AI is well positioned to become a leading sovereign AI infrastructure platform across Australia, New Zealand, and the broader Asia-Pacific region."

Disclosure Information
Sharon AI primarily uses its Investor Relations page (https://sharonai.com/investors/ ) to disclose material non-public information and to comply with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. The Company also notes that, at times, it uses other communication mediums including, but not limited to, its X account (sharon__ai) and/or LinkedIn account (sharon-AI) to disseminate information about the Company, and can be additional sources of information outside press releases, regulatory filings with the SEC and any other conference calls, webcasts, investor days, etc. that the company may hold.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may contain, and our officers and representatives may from time to time make, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are not historical facts, and which are not assurances of future performance. Forward-looking statements are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. In some cases you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "should," "would," "project," "strategy," "plan," "expect," "goal," "seek," "future," "likely" or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions or references to future periods. Forward-looking statements in this release include specific statements regarding the intended use of proceeds. Examples of such forward-looking statements include but are not limited to express or implied statements regarding Sharon AI's management team's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future including, without limitation, statements regarding:
- Service and product offerings;
- Receipt and use of proceeds;
- The deployment of assets and expansion of network procurement;
- Sharon AI's ability to engage with additional potential customers;
- Expansion of Sharon AI's data center footprint and capacity; and
- The strengthening of Sharon AI's partner network. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. You are cautioned that such statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those set forth in these forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, among others, all of the risks described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and other reports subsequently filed with the SEC. Additional assumptions, risks and uncertainties are described in detail in our registration statements, reports and other filings with the SEC, which are available at www.sec.gov .
The forward-looking statements and other information contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof and Sharon AI does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.
Non–GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes "Adjusted EBITDA," which is a non–GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude: (i) interest expense (income), net; (ii) income tax expense (benefit); (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) stock-based compensation expense; (v) fair value adjustments on convertible notes; and (vi) other non-cash or non-recurring items that management does not consider indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a substitute for net income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental measure of the Company's core operating performance by excluding the effects of capital structure decisions (such as interest expense and fair value changes on convertible notes), non-cash charges (such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation), and tax impacts that can vary significantly between periods and across companies. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company's performance, compare performance across periods, and assist in the allocation of resources. Investors are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is included in the tables accompanying this press release. To the extent the Company provides forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance in connection with this release or the related earnings call, a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure may not be available without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts, including but not limited to fair value adjustments on convertible notes, stock-based compensation expense, and other non-cash or non-recurring items, the timing and magnitude of which may be significant.
