WhiteFiber's Q2 growth leaned on a termination fee from a departing customer; stripped out, the operating business shrank year over year and sequentially. The near-costless fee inflated growth, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA, while cash halved and interest expense appeared. Colocation, meant to be the growth engine, slipped versus Q1 as NC-1 contributed almost nothing. Backlog looks real and full billing on NC-1's 40 MW would be the inflection, but next quarter has to stand on its own. x.com
