Notable Quotes

• "Q2 marks an inflection point: halving headwinds are visible, but so is our shift toward sustainable, contracted AI cash flows. Our core strengths -- low-cost clean hydro energy, operational discipline, and adaptability -- now underpin SATO's next phase of growth. While we have not yet achieved net profitability, our operations remain cash flow positive, and we are deliberately reinvesting into AI infrastructure and digital asset strategies that we believe will drive long-term shareholder value," said Romain Nouzareth, Chair and CEO of SATO.
