Management Commentary

"We delivered another month of record revenue of $86m and record hardware profits of $66m in July, supported by strong Bitcoin mining economics and continued demand for our AI Cloud services," said Daniel Roberts, Co-Founder and Co-CEO.

"We are observing accelerating interest in our newly procured Blackwell GPUs, with the initial delivery of 256 B200 GPUs already contracted. Our ability to run ASICs and GPUs side-by-side at Prince George underscores the adaptability of our infrastructure and our ability to capture the market opportunity ahead."

Technical Commentary

AI Cloud Services

Diverse customer mix – contract terms ranging from on-demand to 3 years, including through white-labelled compute with leading US AI cloud providers (Hopper GPUs generating annualized run-rate revenue of $28m)⁷
Blackwell GPUs procured – initial delivery of 256 B200s already contracted with a customer, with remaining ~1.1k B200s & ~1.1k B300s scheduled for delivery at Prince George over the coming months

AI Data Centers

Mackenzie dual fiber – following the installation of an additional fiber path at the Mackenzie 80MW data center, all operating sites now feature dual, physically diverse fiber paths, strengthening network redundancy across our portfolio and further enhancing our ability to support continued growth of AI Cloud beyond Prince George
Customer workstreams progressing – continued engagement across a range of structures such as powered shells, build-to-suit and turnkey colocation across site portfolio, including Childress and Sweetwater
Procurement – continuing to secure long-lead equipment to enable rapid expansion of liquid cooled capacity at Childress beyond the initial 50MW Horizon 1 deployment including chillers, dry coolers, CDUs and diesel generators

Bitcoin Mining

Record monthly revenues – driven by higher Bitcoin prices and increase in average operating hashrate, with record number of Bitcoin mined during the month despite seasonal curtailment, including for 4CP
Maintaining strong and resilient margins – underpinned by best-in-class efficiency (15 J/TH), with higher electricity costs (3.6c/kWh Childress net electricity cost in July) offset by higher Bitcoin prices¹
Significant cashflow potential – 50 EH/s generates $830m illustrative annualized hardware profit⁶

Assumptions and Notes

Total net electricity costs are presented on a net basis and calculated as GAAP electricity charges, demand response program revenue and demand response fees. Figures are based on current internal estimates and exclude Renewable Energy Certificate ("REC") purchases.
Net electricity costs per Bitcoin mined is calculated as Net electricity costs for Bitcoin mining divided by Bitcoin mined.
Hardware profit is calculated as revenue less net electricity costs. Hardware profit is a non-GAAP financial measure and is provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Refer to the Forward-Looking Statements disclaimer.
Bitcoin and Bitcoin mined in this investor update are presented in accordance with our revenue recognition policy which is determined on a Bitcoin received basis (post deduction of mining pool fees).
Hardware profit margin for Bitcoin Mining and AI Cloud Services is calculated as revenue less net electricity costs, divided by revenue (for each respective revenue stream) and excludes all other costs.
Illustrative Annualized Hardware Profit = illustrative annualized mining revenue less assumed net electricity costs. Source: CoinWarz Bitcoin Mining Calculator. Illustrative calculations and inputs assume hardware operates at 100% uptime, 3.5c/kWh net electricity costs, 3.125 BTC block reward, 0.1 BTC transaction fees, 0.16% pool fees, 765MW power consumption, $115k Bitcoin price, 50 EH/s operating hashrate and 914 EH/s network hashrate. Illustrative Annualized Hardware Profit is for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered projections of IREN's operating performance. Inputs are based on assumptions, including historical information, which are likely to be different in the future and users should input their own assumptions. There is no assurance that any illustrative outputs will be achieved within the timeframes presented or at all, or that mining hardware will operate at 100% uptime. The above should be read strictly in conjunction with the forward-looking statements disclaimer in this press release.

Preliminary Financial Information

The financial information presented in this investor update is not subject to the same closing procedures as our unaudited quarterly financial results and our audited annual financial results, and has not been reviewed or audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. The preliminary financial information included in this investor update does not represent a comprehensive statement of our financial results or financial position and should not be viewed as a substitute for unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the preliminary financial information included in this investor update.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This investor update includes non-GAAP financial measures, including net electricity costs, net electricity costs per Bitcoin mined, hardware profit, hardware profit margin, illustrative annualized hardware profit and AI Cloud Services annualized run-rate revenue. We provide these measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. For example, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently. The Company believes that these measures are important and supplement discussions and analysis of its results of operations and enhances an understanding of its operating performance.

Net electricity costs are calculated as GAAP electricity charges, demand response program revenue and demand response fees. Figures are based on current internal estimates and excludes the cost of RECs. Net electricity costs per Bitcoin mined is calculated as Net electricity costs for Bitcoin mining divided by Bitcoin mined. Hardware Profit is calculated as revenue less net electricity costs (excludes all other site, overhead and REC costs). Hardware Profit Margin is calculated as revenue less net electricity costs divided by revenue (excludes all other site, overhead and REC costs). Illustrative Annualized Hardware Profit is calculated as illustrative annualized mining revenue less assumed net electricity costs (excludes all other site, overhead and REC costs). AI Cloud Services annualized run-rate revenue reflects contracted revenue for utilized GPUs.
