Megaport (ASX:MP1) said its unit Latitude.sh has secured three major GPU, CPU, network, and storage contracts with a combined total contract value (TCV) of about AU$254 million and annualized recurring revenue (ARR) of about AU$90.6 million, according to a Thursday Australian bourse filing.
The company said the contracts are with two US-based technology customers running AI applications, with two contracts covering about 90% of the TCV on 36-month initial terms and the third on a 24-month term.
The contracts require about AU$140.3 million in incremental capital expenditure primarily for high-performance NVIDIA GPU, compute, network, and storage hardware, with an attractive payback of about two years, the filing added.
Megaport will fund the capital expenditure via a combination of existing cash reserves and available capacity under a newly upsized AU$150 million debt facility, with hardware orders placed and delivery expected in late fiscal year 2026 or early fiscal year 2027, the filing added.
Pro-forma liquidity as at December 31, 2025, including these contracts and the strategic deal announced on April 27, would have been about AU$199.1 million, it added.
The company reaffirmed fiscal year 2026 revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) guidance for the combined group.
The company said its fiscal year 2026 group capital expenditure guidance of AU$90 million to AU$100 million remains unchanged, excluding these contracts and the recent strategic deal, though capital expenditure could increase by up to a further AU$140.3 million if equipment is delivered before June 30.
The company's shares jumped around 34% in recent Thursday trade.
