April 11 (Reuters) - Data-center services provider

Applied Digital ( APLD ) missed Wall Street estimates for

third-quarter revenue on Thursday, pressured by a power

disruption at its Ellendale data center unit in January.

Shares of the Dallas, Texas-based company fell 14% in

aftermarket trading.

In February, Applied Digital ( APLD ) said revenue from its Ellendale

data center hosting facility would take a hit in the third

quarter, after it began experiencing a power outage on Jan. 18,

resulting in complete outage the following day.

"During the quarter, Applied Digital ( APLD ) encountered several

challenges that impacted our financial performance due to

facility power outages in our datacenter hosting business" said

Wes Cummins, CEO of Applied Digital ( APLD ).

The company posted revenue of $43.3 million for the quarter

ended Feb. 29, compared with analysts' average estimate of

$51.92 million, according to LSEG data.
