Substantial Project Matador Construction Progress
Significant buildout of Project Matador: 450 million cubic feet of gas pipeline installed, 10 million gallons of water pipeline in, grid connection completed, substation ~60–70% complete, and foundations for gensets largely completed or near completion. Property, plant & equipment (construction in progress) = $935M, representing ~66.8% of total assets ($1.4B).
Major Environmental Permit and Expansion Filing
Received a 6 GW air permit and filed for an additional 5 GW (filed Friday). Management reports the air permit materially increased tenant engagement—'shoppers became buyers.'
Material Capital Deployment Into Infrastructure
Nearly $570M of investor capital deployed into physical infrastructure at Matador (net cash used in investing activities ≈ $570M) demonstrating active capital deployment into generation, data center infrastructure, substation, land, water and early nuclear predevelopment.
Strong Balance Sheet and Liquidity Position
Total assets ~$1.4B; cash & cash equivalents $409M as of Dec 31, 2025; total stockholders' equity ~$1.1B (~78.6% of assets). Subsequent equipment financing facilities (MUFG $500M, Keystone $120M expandable to $220M, Yellowstone $165M) plus existing cash provide liquidity to satisfy obligations for at least 12 months.
Successful Capital Raises and Financing Activity
Cash provided by financing activities ≈ $1.0B including $746M net IPO proceeds, $108M preferred units, $100M Macquarie term loan, $76M Series A convertible notes and $26M seed convertible notes—IPO proceeds alone were ~74.6% of total financing inflows.
Equipment Procurement and Tariff Savings
Turbine procurement underway (Siemens F‑Class, SGT‑800s, GE6B). SGT‑800 frames arrived in Houston and were cleared into country after a Supreme Court tariff ruling, saving approximately $27–30M in tariffs.
Minimal Operating Cash Burn Relative to Construction Spend
Operating cash use (true operating cash burn) for the year was approximately $34M; cash used for G&A ≈ $45M while most net loss was noncash—operational cash burn is modest while large amounts are invested in construction in progress.
Broadening Tenant Interest, Including Chip Makers
Management reports increased and accelerated tenant engagement since permitting, with notable direct engagement from chip makers and greater interest from modular MEP providers that could speed customers' MEP deployment timelines.
