Management highlighted an executed 470 MW equipment purchase order with Anthropic, which extends production commitments into 2028. The Company also began assembly operations at its Hyperion facility and commenced construction of the 366 MW El Paso Electric generation facility supporting Meta's data center campus. These developments place manufacturing capacity, project execution and the realization of contracted backlog at the center of the operating outlook.
Liquidity expanded following the June 11, 2026 IPO. ERock reported $626.6 million of unrestricted cash, no outstanding debt and an undrawn $250 million credit facility as of June 30, 2026. The IPO raised approximately $400 million in gross proceeds to the Company through the sale of approximately 27.9 million shares of Class A common stock.
ERock initiated full-year 2026 guidance for revenue of $435 million to $465 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $3 million to $9 million. Management stated that it expects significantly higher generator deliveries and installations in the second half of 2026. The key reported tension is between the scale of the backlog and project pipeline on one hand, and current negative Adjusted EBITDA, a larger GAAP net loss and lower year-over-year quarterly revenue on the other.
Management, verbatim
The second quarter marked another important milestone for ERock. We secured a 470 MW equipment purchase order from Anthropic, increasing our Contracted Power System Sales Backlog to approximately $1.7 billion and extending our production commitments into 2028.
John Carrington, Chief Executive Officer of ERock
We believe that our second quarter results position us for a meaningful acceleration in the second half of 2026. We expect significantly higher generator deliveries and installations as we execute on multiple large customer projects, which is anticipated to drive substantial growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.
Ian Blakely, Chief Financial Officer of ERock
