Revenue Increased 9% Year-Over-Year to $4.9 Million

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities More Than Tripled to $1.3 Million

Stockholders’ Equity Increased to $27.2 Million Following Business Combination

NEW YORK, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BlockchAIn Digital Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE American: AIB) (“BlockchAIn” or the “Company”), a developer and operator of digital infrastructure focused on artificial intelligence (“AI”) and high-performance computing (“HPC”) workloads, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“BlockchAIn enters its first quarter as a public company with a stronger balance sheet and a broader customer base,” said Jerry Tang, Chief Executive Officer of BlockchAIn. “AI compute demand continues to accelerate across hyperscalers, enterprises, sovereigns, and private capital-backed platforms — while power, electrical equipment, and deployment-ready capacity remain industry-wide bottlenecks. BlockchAIn's energized infrastructure, scalable power access, and deployment flexibility position us to capture that demand.

“Our priorities are clear: convert announced opportunities into definitive agreements, execute our HPC and AI infrastructure strategy, and scale existing assets and planned expansions to drive long-term stockholder value.”

First Quarter 2026 and Recent Operational Highlights

• Announced the appointment of Eyal Rozen as Chief Operating Officer, bringing more than 25 years of leadership experience across AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity to support the Company’s execution and growth strategy.

• Completed the previously announced Business Combination with shares commencing trading on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol “AIB.”
• Signed a second non-binding LOI with a global cloud infrastructure provider contemplating the potential development of up to a 20 MW build-to-suit data center lease which, if fully implemented, could represent more than $400 million over a proposed initial 10-year TCV.

• Increased total billable energy volume to approximately 77 GWh in the first quarter of 2026, compared to approximately 72 GWh in the prior-year period.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

• Revenue of $4.9 million compared to $4.5 million in the prior-year period, reflecting continued customer diversification, improved billable energy volume.
• Cost of revenues of $4.3 million compared to $3.3 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher per-kWh energy procurement costs and higher billable volume of GWh.
• Gross profit of $0.6 million, with gross margin of approximately 12%, compared to $1.2 million and approximately 27% in the prior-year period. This is reflective of the higher energy procurement costs and lower contract billing rate.
• Total costs and operating expenses were $5.2 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $4.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting a $1.0 million increase in cost of revenues driven by higher per-kWh energy procurement costs.
• Operating loss of $0.3 million, compared to operating income of $0.4 million in the prior-year period.
• Net loss of $0.3 million, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, in the prior-year period.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.2 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.8 million in the prior-year period.
• Net cash provided by operating activities of $1.3 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or more than 200%, compared to $0.4 million in the prior-year period.
• Cash and cash equivalents increased to $1.3 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to less than $0.1 million as of December 31, 2025.
• Total stockholders’ equity of $27.2 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $7.9 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting equity consideration issued in connection with the Business Combination.
• No traditional indebtedness as of March 31, 2026.

“Our first quarter results reflect the underlying resilience of our operating model through a quarter that included our transition to public company status,” said Jolienne Halisky, Chief Financial Officer of BlockchAIn. “Revenue increased 9% year-over-year, net cash provided by operating activities more than tripled, and we ended the quarter with $27.2 million of stockholders’ equity and no traditional debt. The near-breakeven net loss of $0.01 per share reflects the underlying operating profile of the business during a period that included non-cash and transaction-related items associated with the Business Combination. Our financial priorities for the remainder of 2026 are disciplined cost management, continued customer diversification, and prudent capital allocation. We also look forward to sharing more of our story with investors during our presentation at the 16th Annual LD Micro Invitational Conference on Tuesday, May 19, 2026.”

Note About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a key factor in how we assess the operating performance of our data center and develop growth strategies and expansion decisions. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding income tax expense, interest income, interest expense, other income or expense, gain or loss on asset sales, depreciation, amortization, and transaction costs as presented below:

Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, but should be considered together with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. We have presented non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate our results of operations in a manner that focuses on what management believes to be our core, ongoing business operations.

Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation of, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Our primary non-GAAP financial measure is adjusted EBITDA, which excludes depreciation and amortization expense as these do not reflect our current or future cash spending levels to support our business. In addition, depreciation is also based on the estimated useful lives of our data center assets. These estimates could vary from actual performance of the asset, are based on historical costs incurred to build out our data center and are not indicative of current or expected future capital expenditures. Therefore, we exclude depreciation and amortization in computing Adjusted EBITDA. We also exclude gain or loss on asset sales as it represents profit or loss that is not meaningful in evaluating the current or future operating performance. Additionally, we exclude transaction costs and related reimbursement to enhance the comparability of our financial results to our historical operations. The transaction costs and reimbursement relate to expenses we incurred in connection with the Business Combination transaction with Signing Day Sports, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees. Such charges generally are not relevant to assessing our long-term performance. In addition, the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the transactions. Management believes items such as impairment charges, gain or loss on asset sales and transaction costs are non-core transactions; however, these types of costs may occur in future periods. The Company has determined that all of the above non-recurring adjustments from operations are infrequent. Future transaction costs will depend on the Company executing additional transactions, which cannot be anticipated or estimated. The other costs identified were eliminated upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
