Frankfurt am Main – 5 March 2026 – Northern Data AG (ETR: NB2 ) (“Northern Data Group” or“the Group”), a leading provider of AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) solutions, published today an operational update. In Q1 2026, the Group expects to operate its ~22,000[5] H100 and H200 GPU estate at full capacity, with an allocation rate of over 85%. The GPUs will be allocated to customers mainly committing to reserved and on-demand contracts. The current pipeline of opportunities and recently executed customer contracts confirm continued improvements in utilization in Q1 2026. Utilization of the GPU estate reached 62% in December 2025 and 66% in January 2026. The Group expects its utilization rate to approximate the current peak capacity allocation rate of 85% in Q1 2026. As a result of the improved GPU utilization, Northern Data delivered strong sequential quarterly revenue growth in Q4 2025[6] to EUR 31 million (Q3 2025: EUR 8 million).
