Guidance
Next lot of 1,024 B200 GPUs expected in the next couple of months; management sees current quarterly performance as sustainable over the medium to long term.
What management committed to
- We expect [the next lot of 1,024 B200 GPUs] to be here in the next couple of months. — 1,024 B200, Q2FY27
- We obviously plan to build more capacity in terms of more Blackwell including non-flagship Blackwell as well.
- We have plans to expand our capacity into Vera Rubin.
Key themes
Sovereign AI platform and capacity-led operating leverage
How the narrative shifted
- Sovereign AI and open-source advantage: The open-source ecosystem is closing the gap with frontier models, and E2E's Sovereign AI platform allows customers to control and customize models without dependence on proprietary APIs, creating a long-term moat.
- GPU capacity expansion super cycle: Company positions itself to aggressively but judiciously ride the AI infrastructure build-out, moving from Hopper to Blackwell and eventually Vera Rubin, with demand visibility from both spot and long-term contracts.
- Operating leverage and margin sustainability: The combination of higher utilization, capacity additions, and a judicious mix of contracted and on-demand revenue is driving structural margin expansion that management believes is sustainable.
- Customer migration to longer-term contracts: To lock in prices and supply, customers are increasingly willing to sign 1–3 year contracts, improving revenue predictability and reducing churn risk.
- International expansion and alliance management: The Delaware subsidiary is a vehicle for international sales and partnerships; management describes it as early-stage and not yet material.
- Input cost pressure on CPU hardware: CPU hardware costs have risen due to memory price increases, necessitating price hikes; management presented it as a manageable pass-through, not a structural margin threat.
Operational commentary
- 1,024-unit B200 cluster went live during the quarter and immediately started generating revenue, with maximal utilization.
- Next lot of 1,024 B200 GPUs expected to arrive in the next couple of months; company plans to deploy them as soon as they become available.
- Sovereign AI platform strengthened with open-source model orchestration (TIR, Jarvis Labs); management sees this as a key differentiator vs frontier-model-only competitors.
- SovCloud subsidiary formed to contract large-scale CPU clusters; Delaware entity established for international sales and alliance management.
- Strategic partnership with L&T: E2E buys data center capacity from L&T, jointly goes to customers, and may offtake future L&T-built compute capacity.
- CPU pricing revised upward to offset higher hardware/memory costs; long-term contract options offered to clients to lock existing rates.
- Management indicated intentions to expand GPU capacity beyond current Blackwell into NVIDIA Vera Rubin architecture, while maintaining a balance of spot and contracted revenue.
Analyst Q&A
Q. Can you provide guidance on exit MRR for the full year?
We don't provide guidance on MRR. We always advise everyone to look at what we have done in the past rather than predict the future.
Q. What is the strategic plan and funding arrangement for large-scale GPU deployment under SovCloud?
Very early days. As we do more, we'll obviously announce that.
Q. Can you quantify the peak debt for the year?
We will not be quantifying that amount.
Q. Are you planning a further equity raise?
Obviously, we would let everyone know if and when that happens.
Q. Customer revenue mix between enterprise, AI startups, etc.?
We're quite small for that right now. Let us grow... at a certain scale, probably it would start making sense; today at 5,000 GPUs the size is too small to start talking about these metrics.
