SEC filingVivoPower completed $41 million acquisition of Norway data center subsidiaries, achieving pro forma group-level EBITDA profitability with $31 million revenue and $10 million EBITDA.
VivoPower's completion of the $41 million acquisition marks a pivotal shift to group-level EBITDA profitability on a pro forma basis, driven by the integration of a high-capacity, renewable-powered data center in Norway. Pre-acquisition, the company reported just $0.1 million in annualized revenue and an $8.2 million EBITDA loss, largely attributable to Tembo-related direct and allocated overhead costs totaling around $8 million annually. The acquired asset delivers $31 million in contracted revenue and $10 million EBITDA from stabilized operations, acquired at a disciplined 4x multiple, without requiring additional public equity. This immediately transforms the financial profile, positioning VivoPower for asset optimization toward AI compute applications, leveraging the site's 41.5MW energized capacity, low-cost hydropower below $0.035/kWh, cold Nordic climate, and expansion pathway to over 80MW subject to regulatory approval. Management has shifted focus to tenant discussions for AI use cases and broader powered land opportunities. Pending Tembo spin-off via business combination and separate Nasdaq listing, removal of those costs would further enhance profitability. Pro forma figures reflect historical data from the target, with actual GAAP results to follow in periodic filings; forward risks include integration challenges, regulatory delays, and market volatility.
