An investment in our Ordinary shares is subject to a number of risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, which should be read in conjunction with all the other information presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.Report. It is important to note that subsequent developments may impact their relevance. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not know about or currently think are immaterial may also impair our business operations. Any of the following risks, if they occur, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Since our inception in 2018, our operating expenses in some historical periods have exceeded our revenue, and we have incurred significant operating losses and net losses as a result. WhileWe weincurred achieveda net incomeloss of $86.9$702.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, and while we achieved net income of $86.9 million in 2025, we have historically generally incurred net losses, including a net loss of $28.9 million and $171.8 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.losses.
OurWe growthhave strategy includesbeen expanding and diversifying our revenue sources into newAI markets,Cloud Services, and we are continuingaim to diversifysubstantially intocomplete HPCthis andtransition AIfrom servicesBitcoin pursuantmining toby thatDecember strategy.31, 2026. We expect to make substantial additional investments as we continue to grow and diversifyexpand ourAI business,Cloud Services and wind down Bitcoin mining, in addition to ongoing investments to maintain and enhance the efficiency of our operations. However, our investments in such initiatives designed to make our business more efficient and to diversify our revenue sources may not succeed and may outpace monetization efforts. As a result, while we achieved net income during the most recentin fiscal year,2025, we have historically experienced net losses in prior fiscal years and we may incur net losses in the future as we continue to grow and diversify our business. ThereWe ismay no assurance that we willnot be successful in executing our business plan and diversifyingexpanding our revenue sources, that we will maintainmaintaining profitability, thatand we will meetmeeting other metrics to measure success, or thatand you willmay not achieve a return on your investment.
In addition, our business requires substantial ongoing operating expenditures. Our operating expenses have increased as we grow and develop our managerial, operational and financial resources and systems, and may continue to increase in the future, including as a result of the capital-intensive nature of our industry, increasing inflationary pressures, additional costs associated with tariffs and other trade restrictions, fluctuations and increases in electricity costs, as well as the growth of our business and expanding and diversifying into additional markets such as HPC andour AI services.Cloud Services business in particular. As a result, our operating expenses may be greater than we anticipate in future periods, which would adversely impact our operating results.
Our success will ultimately depend on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability. If we do not reach our operating objectives, and to the extent that we do not generate and maintain cash flow and income, our financial performance and long-term viability may be materially and adversely affected.
Our business has grown rapidly since our inception. Our business model, which was previously focused on monetizing our data center capacity through Bitcoin mining, has also significantly evolved, and we expect it to continue to do so in the future. During the year ended June 30, 2026, we commenced decommissioning Bitcoin mining hardware and reallocating power and data center capacity toward AI Cloud Services. We aim to substantially complete this transition by December 31, 2026.
We began Bitcoin mining in 2019, and our business has grown rapidly since our inception. Our business model has also significantly evolved, and we expect it to continue to do so in the future. As digital assets become more widely available, we expect their services and products to continue to evolve, and we expect that our business model will also need to evolve in order to stay current with the digital asset industry.
Further, ourOur growth strategy includes expanding and diversifying our revenue sources by expanding into new markets. Pursuant to that strategy, weWe began providing HPC and AI servicesCloud Services in 2024, and wethe are continuing to diversify into HPC and AI services and increasing our focus oncontinued growth of thatAI partCloud Services is a key element of ourthis business.strategy. Expansion plans may take longer or be more expensive than we currently anticipate as a result of evolving market conditions, the capital-intensive nature of our industry, technological developments, customer requirements, competition, the regulatory landscape, sociopolitical and geopolitical factors, our evolving business model or otherwise, and any such expansion may also have an impact on our Bitcoin mining business.otherwise. Factors including inflation, tariffs, and interest rates may all impact the amount of capital required and the terms upon which we can obtain such capital. We will continue to review our expansion plans in light of such factors, and our expansion plans may be delayed or may change as a result. There is no assurance that ourOur expansion into HPC and AI services,Cloud Services, and any other changes in our business model or modifications to our strategy, willmay not be successful or thatand they will notmay result in harm to our business. Even if successful, such changes and modifications may increase the complexity of our business and place significant strain on our management, personnel, operations, systems, technical performance, financial resources and internal financial control and reporting functions.
Moreover, we may not be able to manage growth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth and adversely affect our operating results. As a result, we are subject to many risks common to growing companies, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations concerning personnel, financial and other resources andresources, lack of revenues and limited profitability or losses. Further, we cannotmay provide any assurance that we willnot successfully identify all emerging trends and growth opportunities within the digital assets industry, the HPC and AI servicesCloud Services market or other markets we seek to expand into, and we may lose out on such opportunities. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
Our growth strategy includes expanding and diversifying our revenue sources into new markets, and we are continuing to diversify into HPC and AI services pursuant to that strategy. The continued development of our existing and planned facilities to implement thatthe strategyexpansion of our AI Cloud Services business is subject to various factorsfactors, some of which are beyond our control. There may be difficulties in integrating new equipment into existing infrastructure, constraints on our ability to connect to or procure the expected electricity supply capacity at our facilities, defects in design, construction or installed equipment, diversion of management resources, insufficient funding or other resource constraints. Actual costs for development may exceed our planned budget. In particular, our ability to utilizeretrofit existing data centers could be challenging and may require retrofits,requires alterations orand other custom designed solutions to enable the operating environment to function for further HPC and AI servicesCloud Services (for example, to ensure thermal management is aligned with specific hardware requirements), which may not be possible or may be cost prohibitive.cost-prohibitive.
In addition, ourOur ability to complete the purchase of sites that we have contractually secured may ultimately fail due to factors beyond our control (for example, due to non-fulfilment of contractual conditions precedent and default or non-performance by counterparties). In addition, estimated power availability at sites secured could be materially less than initially expected, available too late, delayed, or not available in each case whether at sustainable cost or at all. Furthermore, the ability to secure connection agreements to access such power sources and permits, approvals and/or licenses to construct and operate our facilities could be delayed by regulatory approval processes, may not be successful or may be cost prohibitive. For example, in December 2022, the Government of British Columbia announced a temporary 18-month suspension on new and early-stage BC Hydro connection requests from cryptocurrency mining projects, which was subsequently extended for another 18-months in June 2024.cost-prohibitive. The suspension was challenged in court, but subsequently upheld by the British Columbia Court of Appeal. Additionally, in May 2024, the Government of British Columbia amended the BC Utilities Commission Act to enable the Government to enact regulations regarding public utilities’ provision of electricity service to cryptocurrency miners. While this suspension and amendment have not impacted our existing operations to date, these events demonstrate the policy-driven actions by Governments, or the issuance of any new legislation, government orders or regulations, may reduce the availability and/or increase the cost of electricity in the geographic locations in which our operating facilities are located or desired to be located, or could otherwise adversely impact our business.
Our business is capital intensive, we expect to continue to incur substantial capital expenditures to acquire, maintain, and upgrade our hardware over time, to acquire, construct and upgrade data center facilities, and to grow our business, and we may be unable to raise additional capital needed to fulfill our needs, grow our business, or achieve our goals.
We will need to raise a substantial and increasingly larger amount of additional capital in connection with the ongoing expansion and operation of our business, including to finance our business operations, meet existing or new hardware purchase commitments, replace hardware (such as GPUs) as it ages, acquire, develop, construct and upgrade data center facilities, and to respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements.
Furthermore, the rapid pace of technological advancements in GPU hardware presents a risk of hardware obsolescence. As newer and more efficient GPUs are continually developed, existing hardware may quickly become outdated, leading to reduced performance, compatibility issues with new software or systems, and potential difficulties in sourcing customers looking to utilize the hardware. As a result, we expect to incur capital expenditures in connection with the ongoing expansion and operation of our business, and to upgrade our hardware as our hardware ages, or becomes obsolete or outdated. These capital expenditures may be substantial, and in some cases may also be unexpected. If we do not generate sufficient revenue from customers of our AI Cloud Services, we may not realize the benefit of these capital expenditures. Further, if we seek to update our existing hardware in response to significant improvements in available hardware technology or to replace underperforming or malfunctioning hardware, such technology may not be available to us, available on commercially acceptable terms, successfully implemented in our operations or achieve the expected operational performance. If we fail, this will hinder the ability to maintain competitive performance in compute-intensive applications and may have significant adverse impact on our results of operations and may delay or prevent the timely completion of our growth strategies and anticipated increases in data center capacity.
Further, the price of new equipment and hardware required for the ongoing expansion and operation of our business, including GPUs, is subject to market fluctuations. Such fluctuations are influenced by factors including, supply and demand for such equipment. Current demand for NVIDIA GPUs and certain networking equipment far exceeds supply, impacting the price and availability of such hardware. As a result, the cost of new equipment has been and may in the future be unpredictable, and may also be significantly higher than our historical costs.
In addition, we will also need to raise additional capital to fund additional construction at existing or new sites, to develop new sites to increase our data center capacity, and to fund the purchase of additional equipment to increase our operating capacity, continue our development of AI Cloud Services and potentially expand into new markets. In particular, constructing data center facilities for AI Cloud Services requires significant capital expenditures when compared to capital expenditures for Bitcoin mining data center facilities, which was our prior focus. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, we entered into GPU purchase agreements and customer contracts requiring substantial additional capital expenditures, and we expect our capital requirements to remain substantial as we deliver contracted AI Cloud Services capacity and continue to develop our site pipeline. We may experience difficulties with infrastructure development or modification, engineering, or design, which could in the future result in excessive capital expenditures and significant delays. Our efforts to construct and operate data centers may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate and may not result in increased revenue or profitability in the short term or at all.
We may seek to raise additional capital through offerings of debt, equity or equity-linked securities or other financing arrangements, which could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary shares, dilute the economic and voting interests of our shareholders, rank senior to our Ordinary shares and subject us to terms that restrict our business operations, and such financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
We have in the past and may continue to seek to raise additional capital through offerings of debt securities (including potentially convertible debt securities), which would rank senior to our Ordinary shares upon our bankruptcy or liquidation and which may be senior to our Ordinary shares for the purposes of dividend and liquidating distributions. An issuance of additional equity securities or securities with a right to convert into equity, such as convertible bonds or warrant bonds, could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary shares and would dilute the economic and voting interests of shareholders. We may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness or to take other actions including terms that require us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios that could otherwise not be in the interests of our shareholders. As the timing and nature of any future offering would depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, it is not possible to predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of future offerings.
We have in the past and may continue to also seek to raise additional capital through various equipment or asset-based financing or leasing arrangements, which would also rank senior to our Ordinary shares upon our bankruptcy or liquidation. Such structures may involve the use of special purpose vehicles, which may be structured to be non-recourse or limited recourse to the rest of the Group or may be supported by guarantees or other forms of credit support from the Company or other members of the Group. Such financing or leasing structures would expose us and the relevant borrower entities to a range of risks. In particular, the ability of the borrower or lessee in a limited recourse structure to satisfy obligations under any such financing or leasing arrangements may be adversely impacted by factors that impact the cash flow generated by the underlying assets, as well as other factors outside our control. For example, in the case of financing or leasing arrangements for GPUs, demand for our AI Cloud Services and our ability to enter into contracts that generate stable revenue streams could adversely impact the relevant borrower’s ability to satisfy obligations or comply with applicable covenants. In the event of any adverse impacts to the relevant borrower’s cash flows, any such borrower may not be able to restructure, refinance or modify any such facility or obtain a waiver on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise, which could lead to a lender or lessor pursuing one or more remedies available to it, including foreclosing on any applicable collateral, any of which could lead to bankruptcy or liquidation of the relevant borrower and could also lead to claims against the Group or terminating a lease and repossessing the relevant equipment. Similarly, where such financing structures include guarantees or other forms of credit support from the Company or other members of the Group, the lender would seek to recover any amounts due under such guarantees or other credit support, which could adversely impact our financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
We may not be able to obtain additional debt, equity or equity-linked financing, or other forms of financing, on favorable terms, if at all, which could impair our growth and our further development of AI Cloud Services, adversely affect our existing operations and require us to seek additional capital, sell assets or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. In addition, if the terms of additional financing are less favorable or require us to comply with more onerous covenants or restrictions, our business operations could be restricted. Even if we are able to raise such capital, we may not deploy it in such a fashion that allows us to achieve our goals. Any of the foregoing could adversely impact our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our increased focus on HPC and AI services may not be successful and may result in adverse consequences to our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our growth strategy includes expanding and diversifying our revenue sources into new markets, and we are continuing to diversify into HPC and AI services pursuant to that strategy. In particular, we are utilizing certain existing infrastructure and also building out new infrastructure to develop and offer HPC and AI services to a broad range of customers for a variety of applications, which may include scientific research, engineering, rendering, AI/ML and other AI cloud service providers. We believe our future success will depend in part on our ability to execute on our growth strategy and expand into new markets.
We have limited experience in developing and offering HPC and AI services, or acquiring the relevant components to develop an offering of HPC and AI services for customers in various industries and markets. We may experience difficulties with infrastructure development or modification, engineering, product design, product development, marketing or certification, which could result in excessive research and development expenses and capital expenditure, delays or prevent us from developing and offering HPC and AI services at all. For example, we may need to make modifications to existing data centers, or modify the design of new data centers, in order to meet customer requirements for HPC and AI services or provide a competitive offering of HPC and AI services. Any such modifications (if possible at all) may involve significant capital expenditures, and may result in increased cost of our facilities, delays in our development and construction schedules for our new facilities, or outages at existing data centers. Further, any such modifications could adversely impact the performance of our data centers, including cooling systems and electrical performance, among others. Our focus on developing and offering HPC and AI services may also disrupt our business, divert our resources, and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for utilization within and development of our existing business. It may also impact our energy strategy, including limiting our ability to curtail energy use and require a different strategy for hedging in the electricity markets in which we operate. Additionally, our ability to develop and offer HPC and AI services relies on third-party components, including GPUs for which there are limited suppliers, which require significant capital expenditure and may be difficult to procure given the current elevated demand. We may be unable to raise the required capital as a result of the risks described under “—We may be unable to raise additional capital needed to fulfill our capital or liquidity needs or grow our business and achieve expansion plans.”
The market for HPC and AI services is driven in large part by demand for data center space capable of supporting GPUs, server clusters, specialized or high-performance applications, and hosted software solutions which require fast and efficient data processing, and is characterized by rapid advances in technologies. It is difficult to predict the development of demand for HPC and AI services, the size and growth rate for this market, the entry of competitive products, or the success of any existing or future products that may compete with any HPC and AI services we may develop. There has been an increasing number of competitors providing HPC and AI services, which has resulted in increasing competition and pricing pressure that may cause us to reduce our pricing in order to remain competitive. Meanwhile, if there is a reduction in demand for any HPC and AI services, whether caused by a lack of customer acceptance, a slowdown in demand for computational power, an overabundance of unused computational power, advancements in technology, technological challenges, competing technologies and solutions, decreases in corporate and customer spending, weakening economic conditions or otherwise, it could result in reduced customer orders, early order cancellations, the loss of customers, or decreased sales, any of which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

As we continue to enter into new markets for HPC and AI services, competitive, operational, legal and regulatory risks may be exacerbated as there is substantial uncertainty about the extent to which artificial intelligence will result in changes that come with risks that we may not be able to anticipate, prevent, mitigate or remediate.
WeDue willto the rapidly changing nature of our industry, we continuously face new sourcescompetitors of competition,and new business modelsmodels, and newthe customerpurchasing relationships,behavior and demands of customers in our industry continue to evolve, including as major technology companies develop their own data centers and compute capacity, rather than procuring it from third parties. Many of our competitors may beare larger, have longer operating histories and significantly greater resources than we do. Certain competitors may have access to more competitively priced power, a greater access to power and a better capacity to timely secure grid connections. In order to be successful, we will need to cultivate new industry relationships and strengthen existing relationships to bring any new solutions and offerings to market, and the success of any HPC and AI servicesCloud Services we develop will depend on many factors, including demand for those solutions, our ability to win and maintain customers, and the cost, performance and perceived value of any HPC and AI servicesCloud Services we develop. As a result, there can be no assurance that any HPC and AI servicesCloud Services we develop willmay not be adopted by the market, be profitable, or be profitable or viable. Our limitedshorter experienceoperating withhistory respect to HPC solutions (andin AI Cloud Services inrelative particular)to some competitors could limitmake ourit abilitymore difficult to successfully execute on this growth strategy or adapt to market changes. If we are unsuccessful in continuing to develop and offer HPC and AI services,Cloud Services, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. Further, an increased focus on HPC and AI services could displace or reduce our Bitcoin mining operations which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our investments in further developing and offering HPC and AI servicesCloud inServices additionas towell as our business ofremaining Bitcoin mining business may result in new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, confidentiality or security risks, ethical concerns or other complications that could adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations or financial condition. The increasing focus on the risks and strategic importance of certain HPC and AI services,Cloud Services, such as AI Cloud Services, and AI/MLartificial intelligence technologies, has already resulted in regulatory restrictions that target products and services capable of enabling or facilitating AI/ML,artificial intelligence, and may in the future result in additional restrictions impacting any offerings we may develop, including AI Cloud Services and other HPC solutions.Services. Complying with multiple evolving laws, rules and regulations from different jurisdictions related to new solutions that we develop could increase our cost of doing business or may change the way that we operate in certain jurisdictions. We may not be able to adequately anticipate or respond to these evolving laws and regulations, and we may need to expend additional resources to adjust our offerings in certain jurisdictions if applicable legal frameworks are inconsistent across jurisdictions.
For example, the European Union (“EU”) recentlyhas adopted the Artificial Intelligence Act (“AI Act”), which establishes, among other things, a risk-based governance framework for regulating AI/MLartificial intelligence systems operating in the EU. There is a risk that the AI Act could have a negative impact on our current or future use of AI/ML.artificial intelligence. For example, the AI Act prohibits certain uses of AI/MLartificial intelligence systems and places numerous obligations on providers and deployers of permitted AI/MLartificial intelligence systems, with heightened requirements based on AI/MLartificial intelligence systems that are considered high risk.high-risk. This regulatory framework is expected to have a material impact on the way AI/MLartificial intelligence is regulated in the EU and beyond. Similarly, other jurisdictions, such as Canada with its Artificial Intelligence and Data Act and certain U.S. states, have also implemented or are considering similar regulatory frameworks.frameworks and AI strategies. In April 2023, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Department of Justice, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued a joint statement on AI/ML,artificial intelligence, demonstrating their interest in monitoring the development and use of automated systems and enforcement of their respective laws and regulations. Such regulatory frameworks, as well as developing regulatory guidance and judicial decisions in this area, may affect our use of AI/MLartificial intelligence and our ability to provide and to improve our products and solutions, require additional compliance measures and changes to our operations and processes, result in increased compliance costs and potential increases in civil claims against us and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, concerns regarding third-party use of AI/MLartificial intelligence for purposes contrary to governmental and societal interests, including concerns relating to the misuse of AI/MLartificial intelligence applications, models, and solutions,solutions could result in restrictions on AI/MLartificial intelligence products. Any such restrictions could reduce the demand for our HPC and AI services,Cloud Services, and negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results, and damage our reputation.
It is also unclear how our status as an infrastructure provider for customers developing and deploying AI/MLartificial intelligence applications, as opposed to developing such applications ourselves, will affect the applicability of these existing or proposed laws, regulatory frameworks and other restrictions with respect to any HPC and AI servicesCloud Services we may offer from time to time. However, it is possible that such regimes will impose obligations on infrastructure providers, such as us, to oversee, monitor or restrict the use of AI systems that are trained or deployed on theirour systems, and/or to ensure compliance with such regulatory frameworks and other restrictions. If our customers violate existing or proposed regulatory regimes or other restrictions, or if they use our services for unlawful, harmful or non-compliant purposes, we could be subject to regulatory investigations, regulatory fines, reputational damage or contractual liability for any such actions, even if we do not control the customer applications. Further, HPC and AI servicesCloud Services customers increasingly are looking to pass through their regulatory obligations and other liabilities to their outsourced data center providers, and we may not be able to limit our liability or damages in an event of loss suffered by such customers whether as a result of our breach of an agreement or otherwise.
These competitive, operational, legal and regulatory risks are evolving and uncertain and could impact our business in ways we cannot predict. Any of the foregoing could limit our ability to expand our offering of HPC and AI servicesCloud Services and continue to grow our business, which could have a material adverse effect on prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
Competition could adversely impact our market share and financial results.
The target market for our AI Cloud Services is competitive, and competition may intensify with expanding and changing product and service offerings, industry standards, customer and market needs, new entrants and consolidations. Our competitors’ products, services and technologies may be cheaper or provide better functionality or features than ours, which has resulted and may in the future result in lower-than-expected selling prices or demand for our products. Some of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, more comprehensive IP portfolios and patent protections, more design wins, and greater financial, sales, marketing and distribution resources than we do. These competitors may be able to acquire market share and/or prevent us from doing so, more effectively identify and capitalize upon opportunities in new markets and end-user trends, more quickly transition their products, and impinge on our ability to procure scarce input materials during a supply-constrained environment, which could harm our business. Some of our customers have in-house expertise and internal development capabilities similar to or more advanced than some of ours and can use or develop their own solutions to replace those we are providing. If we are unable to successfully compete in this environment, demand for our products, services and technologies could decrease, which may negatively impact our business.
Our current and future growth, including increases in the number of our strategic relationships and our strategy of diversifying our revenue sources, may place a strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources and systems, as well as on our management team. We may not be successful in growing our business, or at managing our growth effectively. We may also fail to adequately develop and expand our managerial, operational and financial resources and systems as we grow. Any of the foregoing could limit our growth and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
Our future financial performance is subject to assumptions and projections that may not materialize.
Our financial outlook and projections, including annualized-run-rate revenue and estimated capital expenditures, are based on various assumptions regarding energy and consumption costs, our ability to secure necessary agreements, the successful deployment of new capacity, market demand for our services, and estimates of construction, equipment, financing and other costs associated with the development, construction and commissioning of our facilities to provide AI Cloud Services. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to numerous business, economic, regulatory, and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. Our actual annualized-run-rate revenue and capital expenditures may differ materially from our current projections.
Changes in political and geopolitical conditions may be difficult to predict and may adversely affect our business, prospects, operations and financial performance. For example, changes in political and geopolitical conditions may lead to changes in governmental policies, laws and regulations, including with respect to sanctions, taxes, tariffs, surtaxes and other similar import or export duties, import and export controls or restrictions, tariff rate quotas, and the general movement of goods, materials, services and capital, or may lead to uncertainty as to the potential for such changes. We have data centers and/or data center sites located in CanadaNorth America, Europe, and the United States.Australia. We have historically sourced miners and certain other hardware and equipment from suppliers that have previously had, and may continue to have, operations in China and Southeast Asian countries. Accordingly, our business, prospects, operations and financial condition may be significantly impacted by such changes in political and geopolitical conditions, and in particular by changes in international trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs, surcharges and other similar import or export duties, or trade restrictions including tariff rate quotas, as well as by uncertainty with respect to the potential for such changes.
There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and its trading partners with respect to trade policies, tariffs, and similar policies affecting cross-border operations. The U.S. Government has made and continues to make significant changes in U.S. trade policy, specifically tariffs, and may continue to take future actions that could negatively impact our business, including escalating tariffs on the import of goods from U.S. trading partners. Between February 24, 2026 and July 24, 2026, the U.S. government also implemented a global “temporary import surcharge” of 10% on many products, under authorities provided for in Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. Upon expiration of the Section 122 temporary import surcharge on July 24, 2026, the U.S. government implemented tariffs of up to 10% or 12.5% on imported commodities from 60 U.S. trading partners, with certain items excepted, under authorities provided under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, following a determination by the U.S. Trade Representative that these trading partners have insufficiently implemented or enforced forced labor laws. Other tariffs, taxes, or trade barriers could be imposed by the U.S. on its trading partners, and those trading partners may impose retaliatory tariffs, taxes, or other trade barriers on the U.S. The U.S. Government has also implemented Section 232 tariffs on various items based on a finding that certain imports threaten to impair U.S. national security, including but not limited to certain articles of steel and aluminum; passenger vehicles, trucks, and automotive components; and articles of copper. The U.S. Government has also imposed, increased, or maintained additional Section 301 tariffs of 7.5%-100% on certain commodities from China. The scope of these tariffs and exclusions is subject to change. Additional trade-related investigations by the U.S. government are in progress and could result in the imposition of additional tariffs, including under Sections 232, 301, 122, and 338.
The recent changes in tariff and trade policy underscore the uncertainty regarding the future relationships between the United States and its trading partners. In response to these and other U.S. trade measures, China, Canada, and other affected countries have taken or threatened to take retaliatory actions to respond. Such actions include the imposition of retaliatory tariffs on imports of products of U.S. origin, the imposition of export controls on a wide array of products (including rare earth metals and other critical minerals), as well as other actions. The adoption of retaliatory actions by targeted countries has prompted and could prompt the United States to further increase its tariff measures, and continued escalation of tariffs and trade measures could result in the outbreak of a trade war. The trade and tariff policies of the United States and other countries are currently fluid and subject to further changes.
In particular, in April 2025 the United States announced new tariffs, including an across-the-board 10% tariff on all countries and individualized higher tariffs on certain countries, including countries from which we have historically sourced miners and other hardware and equipment. Bilateral trade negotiations between the United States and various countries are ongoing, and further negotiations with other countries may still occur. As a result, tariffs rates are continuing to evolve, however we expect such tariffs as currently in effect or as currently proposed, as applicable, will likely result in higher costs to acquire miners and other hardware and equipment shipped after the effectiveness of applicable tariffs. For example, on August 7, 2025, the United States proposed a 100% tariff on semiconductors imported to the United States. While we may revisit our procurement strategy to attempt to mitigate the impact of such tariffs on our business, including by sourcing hardware and equipment from countries subject to lower tariffs, there can be no assurance that any such efforts willmay not be effective. It is also possible that such tariffs and other trade restrictions could limit the availability of miners and other hardware and equipment, disrupt our operations, or adversely impact our growth plans. In addition, certain foreign countries have changed, and others may in the future change, their trade policies in response to changes in U.S. tariff policies, including by imposing reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs, surcharges or other similar import or export duties, and trade restrictions including tariff rate quotas, which may in turn escalate and result in a “trade war” or worsen andan existing “trade war”. Any escalated trade war could have a significant adverse effect on world trade and the world economy.
Further, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection or other governmental agencies can dispute the origin of any imports into the U.S., which could in turn result in the imposition of higher tariffs than we previously paid or anticipated with respect to such hardware and equipment. For example, in April 2025, we received a Notice of Action (“NOA”) from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection challenging the country of origin of Bitcoin miners imported between April 2024 and February 2025 from Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, asserting that the origin of such miners is China and that tariffs are payable at a higher rate of 25% applicable to China as a result. It is possible we may receive similar notices for additional hardware or equipment that we have previously imported, as well as hardware or equipment that are currently in shipment or that we may import in the future, including shipments of GPUs. While we believe these notices of dispute are without merit based on representations and supporting documentation from the seller of the applicable hardware or equipment and wehave intendfiled toprotests challengewith them,the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, if we are unsuccessful we wouldmay owe additional tariffs of up to approximately $100 million with respect to the import of such hardware or equipment. Any such additional tariffs could be material and could materially impact our business, prospects, operations and financial performance.
We may be unable to raise additional capital needed to fulfill our capital or liquidity needs or grow our business and achieve expansion plans.
We will need to raise additional capital to finance our business operations, meet existing or new hardware purchase commitments, replace hardware (such as miners and GPUs) as it ages, and to respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements. In addition, we will also need to raise additional capital to pursue our planned and potential growth strategies (such as continuing to develop HPC and AI services), including to fund additional construction at existing or new sites, to develop new sites to increase our data center capacity, and to fund the purchase of additional equipment to increase our operating capacity, continue our development of HPC and AI services and potentially expand into new markets. In particular, constructing data center facilities for HPC and AI services requires significant capital expenditures when compared to capital expenditures for Bitcoin mining data center facilities.
We may seek to raise additional capital through future offerings of debt securities (including potentially convertible debt securities), which would rank senior to our Ordinary shares upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future offerings of equity securities, which may be senior to our Ordinary shares for the purposes of dividend and liquidating distributions. An issuance of additional equity securities or securities with a right to convert into equity, such as convertible bonds or warrant bonds, could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary shares and would dilute the economic and voting interests of shareholders. We may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness or to take other actions including terms that require us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios that could otherwise not be in the interests of our shareholders. As the timing and nature of any future offering would depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, it is not possible to predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of future offerings.
We may also seek to raise additional capital through various equipment or asset-based financing or leasing arrangements, which would also rank senior to our Ordinary shares upon our bankruptcy or liquidation. Such structures may involve the use of special purpose vehicles, which may be structured to be non-recourse to the rest of the Group or may be supported by guarantees or other forms of credit support from IREN Limited or other members of the Group. Such financing or leasing structures would expose us and the relevant borrower entities to a range of risks. In particular, the ability of the borrower or lessee in a limited recourse structure to satisfy obligations under any such financing or leasing arrangements may be adversely impacted by factors that impact the cash flow generated by the underlying assets, as well as other factors outside our control. For example, in the case of financing for Bitcoin miners, fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin, the Bitcoin network global hashrate, or in the case of financing or leasing arrangements for GPUs, demand for our HPC and AI services and our ability to enter into contracts that generate stable revenue streams, in each case could adversely impact the relevant borrower’s ability to satisfy obligations or comply with applicable covenants under. In the event of any adverse impacts to the relevant borrower’s cash flows, there can be no assurance that any such borrower would be able to restructure, refinance or modify any such facility or obtain a waiver on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise, which could lead to a lender or lessor pursuing one or more remedies available to it, including foreclosing on any applicable collateral, any of which could lead to bankruptcy or liquidation of the relevant borrower and could also lead to claims against the Group or terminating a lease and repossessing the relevant equipment. Similarly, where such financing structures include guarantees or other forms of credit support from IREN Limited or other members of the Group, the lender would seek to recover any amounts due under such guarantees or other credit support, which could adversely impact out financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
We may not be able to obtain additional debt, equity or equity-linked financing, or other forms of financing, on favorable terms, if at all, which could impair our growth and our further development of HPC and AI services, adversely affect our existing operations and require us to seek additional capital, sell assets or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. In addition, if the terms of additional financing are less favorable or require us to comply with more onerous covenants or restrictions, our business operations could be restricted. Any of the foregoing could adversely impact our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
As of June 30, 2025,2026, excluding our intercompany indebtedness and liabilities, we had $990$7,976.0 million principal amount of outstanding indebtedness (consisting of $400$7,705.6 million aggregateof principaldebt amount(see Note 23. Debt) and $270.4 million of 3.5%finance convertibleleases senior(see notesNote and22. $500Finance million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2029 issued in December 2024 and June 2025, respectivelyleases)), and approximately $144.1$1,825.4 million of trade and other payables. We have also entered into equipment leasing arrangements with respect to certain GPUs following June 30, 2025 as described under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Equipment Leasing Agreements,” which are supported by guarantees from IRENthe Limited.Company. We may enter into additional equipment leasing agreements or other equipment financing arrangements from time to time, and mayexpect to incur additional indebtedness to meet future financing needs. For instance, given constrained GPU supply and long lead times, we may commit to purchases of GPU and related hardware and commence the related site development in advance of arranging the asset-backed financing secured against that hardware and the customer cash flows it supports, and in certain cases in advance of executing customer contracts for the related capacity. Our indebtedness and such liabilities could have significant negative consequences for our security holders and our business, results of operations and financial condition by, among other things:
•increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions and risk of default;
•limiting the ability of some of our subsidiaries to distribute cash from operations up to the Company;
•diluting the interests of our existing shareholders as a result of issuing our ordinaryOrdinary shares upon conversion of the convertible notes; and
•placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than us or have better access to capital.
Similarly, we may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves or pay amounts due under our indebtedness and equipment leases, and our cash needs are expected to increase in the future.
We finance our GPU and other equipment, as well as the development and construction of our data centers, through a variety of structures, including subsidiary-level secured financings and arrangements that may be non-recourse or limited recourse to the Company. For example, in May 2026, certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into approximately $3.6 billion of secured GPU financing arrangements secured by, among other things, the GPUs and other assets of, and the customer contract cash flows payable to, the relevant financing group entities. These arrangements contain financial and other covenants (including debt service coverage ratio requirements and mandatory prepayment triggers), restrict the ability of the relevant subsidiaries to distribute cash to the wider group, require certain amounts to be held as restricted cash, and are supported by limited guarantees from the Company in respect of certain performance and shortfall obligations. If the cash flows generated by the underlying assets (for example, the financed GPUs and the associated customer contracts in such financings and arrangements) are insufficient to service these arrangements, or if we fail to comply with the applicable covenants, the relevant lenders and noteholders could accelerate the relevant indebtedness and enforce their security over the relevant assets, and the Company could be required to make payments under any applicable limited guarantees, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our operating capacity as well as our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Although our existing equipment loans and leases are entered into through wholly-owned,wholly non-recourseowned special purpose vehiclessubsidiaries of the Company, as borrowers or lessees, as applicable, payment with respect to such loans or leases are guaranteed by IRENthe Limited.Company. As a result, if the cash flows generated by the leased equipment are insufficient to fund payments under the applicable equipmentfinancing leasearrangement (for example, because of insufficient or variable demand for our HPC and AI servicesCloud Services), the relevant borrower’s or lessee’s ability to satisfy obligations under the applicable leasefinancing arrangement may be adversely impacted. In any such case, there can be no assurance that the relevant borrower or lessee wouldmay not be able to restructure, refinance or modify the applicable leasefinancing arrangement or obtain a waiver on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise, which could lead to the applicable lender or lessor seeking payment from IRENthe LimitedCompany and/or pursuing one or more remedies available to it, including terminating the lease,financing arrangement, taking possession of the relevant equipment and seeking to recover any losses or other damages from us. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse impact on our operating capacity as well as our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, any future indebtedness, equipment loans, equipment leases or other financing arrangements that we may incur may contain financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business, or raise capital or make payments under our other indebtedness. Certain of our existing and future financing arrangements may also contain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions, pursuant to which a default under, or acceleration of, one financing arrangement could result in a default under, or permit the acceleration of, other financing arrangements. If we fail to comply with any such covenants or to make payments under any such indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in that and our other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. Similarly, if we fail to comply with covenants under any financing arrangements, including indebtedness incurred by our equipmentsubsidiaries leases,to finance projects or equipment, the applicable leasefinancing arrangement could be terminated and the relevant equipmentcollateral could be repossessed by the applicable lessor,creditor, which could have a material adverse impact on our operating capacity ability. Any of the foregoing could adversely impact our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
A default under any of our financing agreements, including equipment financing arrangements, could trigger cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions under our other financing arrangements. In addition, a default under any of our financing arrangements could impair our ability to finance and complete the development or construction of our data center facilities and our ability to continue to operate the relevant facilities. Any resulting delay or failure in the development or operation of data center facilities could materially affect our ability to generate revenue from the relevant facilities and lead to default under our customer contracts, which may result in significant payments under relevant customer contracts being reduced or delayed, expose us to service credits, damages or other liability, or give rise to termination rights under our customer contracts, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, financial condition and future prospects.
We have entered into a settlement agreement to terminate and release all claims relating to legal proceedings involving certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries that previously defaulted on limited recourse equipment financing agreements, noting there can be no assurance as to timing of the final termination of such proceedings.
We previously entered into three limited recourse equipment financing facilities (the “Facilities”) through three separate wholly-owned, non-recourse special purpose vehicles of the Company (the “Non-Recourse SPVs”), pursuant to which certain lending entities of New York Digital Investment Group LLC (“NYDIG”) agreed to finance part of the purchase price of certain Bitcoin miners. We announced in November 2022 that the miners owned by two such Non- Recourse SPVs that secure their respective Facilities produce insufficient cash flow to service their respective debt financing obligations. On November 4, 2022, the Non-Recourse SPVs received notices of defaults under which the lender claimed there was aggregate outstanding indebtedness of approximately $107.8 million (including accrued interest and late fees), which had been declared immediately due and payable. Following receipt of such notices, the approximately 3.6 EH/s of miners owned by such Non-Recourse SPVs ceased operating, which materially reduced our hashrate capacity at that time.

Key impacts of this transition are discussed in “Transition from IFRS to GAAP” and Note 3 to the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
IREN is a vertically integrated AI Cloud Services platform, delivering data centers, compute and software for AI training and inference.
We own and operate all three layers of the AI Cloud Services stack. The data center layer includes the land, power, substations, buildings and cooling that form the physical foundation of our AI Cloud Services platform. The compute layer includes the GPUs, CPUs, storage, servers and networking deployed within that data center infrastructure. The software layer includes the managed services and enterprise support that enables customers to deploy, operate and manage AI workloads.
We generate AI Cloud Services revenue by delivering both bare metal compute and managed cloud services to customers supporting AI training and inference workloads. Our customer base includes hyperscalers, frontier labs, AI developers and enterprises. As of June 30, 2026, our operating AI Cloud Services capacity represented approximately 40MW.
We continue to operate Bitcoin miners at certain of our data centers while we transition this data center capacity toward AI Cloud Services. We aim to substantially complete this transition by December 31, 2026. We generate Bitcoin mining revenue by contributing computing power, or hashrate, to the Bitcoin network and receiving a share of block rewards and transaction fees, and exchanging these Bitcoin for fiat currencies such as USD or CAD. We typically liquidate all the Bitcoin we mine daily and therefore did not have any Bitcoin held on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, our installed Bitcoin mining capacity was approximately 23.2 EH/s, representing approximately 380MW of data center capacity.
We are a leading owner and operator of next-generation data centers powered by 100% renewable energy (whether from clean or renewable energy sources or through the purchase of RECs). Our data centers are purpose-built for power dense computing applications and currently support a combination of GPUs for HPC and AI services and ASICs for Bitcoin mining.
Our Bitcoin mining operations generate revenue by earning Bitcoin through a combination of Block rewards and transaction fees from the operation of our Bitcoin miners and exchanging these Bitcoin for fiat currencies such as USD or CAD.
We have been mining Bitcoin since 2019. We typically liquidate all the Bitcoin we mine daily and therefore did not have any Bitcoin held on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. To date we have utilized Kraken, a U.S.-based digital asset trading platform, to liquidate the Bitcoin we mine. The mining pools, that we utilize for the purposes of our Bitcoin mining, transfer the Bitcoin that we have mined to Kraken on a daily basis. Such Bitcoin is then exchanged for fiat currency on the Kraken exchange or via its over-the-counter trading desk. We have a backup U.S.-based digital asset trading platform, Coinbase, although we have not utilized Coinbase as of June 30, 2025.
We are also pursuing a strategy of expanding and diversifying our revenue sources into HPC and AI services, including through the development of purpose-built AI data centers. Our HPC and AI services include AI Cloud Services, launched in 2024, that generates revenue by providing access to cloud-based GPU computing to customers for AI training and interference workloads. We leverage NVIDIA GPUs to serve customers across training and inference workloads. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately 1.9k NVIDIA H100 and H200 GPUs operating in our data centers. Subsequent to June 30, 2025 we procured, through a combination of purchases and equipment leasing, approximately 5.5k NVIDIA B200 GPUs, 2.3k NVIDIA B300 GPUs and 1.2k NVIDIA GB300 GPUs to be installed at our Prince George site by the end of calendar year 2025, that will bring the total GPU fleet to approximately 10.9k NVIDIA GPUs.
Our cash and cash equivalents were $564.5 million as of June 30, 2025. Our total revenue was $707.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to total revenue of $501.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2025,2025. comparedWe togenerated totalnet revenueincome (loss) of $187.2$(702.6) million for the year ended June 30, 2024.2026 Wecompared generatedto net income (loss) of $86.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2025 compared to net loss of $28.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2024.2025.

We are a vertically integrated business, and currently own and operate our computing hardware (consisting of Bitcoin mining ASICs and AI Cloud Services GPUs), as well as our electrical infrastructure and data centers. We generally target development of data centers in regions where there are low-cost and attractive renewable energy sources, with over 80% of our operating data center capacity located in the United States. We have ownership of our proprietary data centers and electrical infrastructure, including the freehold land. This provides us with additional security and operational control over our assets. We believe data center ownership also allows our business to benefit from more sustainable cash flows and operational flexibility in comparison with operators that rely upon third-party hosting services or short-term land leases which may be subject to termination rights, profit sharing arrangements and/or potential changes to contractual terms such as pricing. We assess opportunities to utilize our available data center capacity, land or power capacity, on an ongoing basis, including via potential third-party hosting and alternative revenue sources. We also focus on grid-connected power access which we believe not only helps facilitate a more reliable, long-term supply of power, but also provides us with the ability to support the energy markets in which we operate (for example, through potential participation in demand response, ancillary services provision and load management in deregulated markets such as Texas).
We have three data center sites in Texas, United States with executed grid connection agreements, namely Childress, Sweetwater 1 and Sweetwater 2. Our 750MW Childress site has been operating since April 2023 and, as of June 30, 2025, has approximately 650MW of operating data center capacity and installed hashrate capacity of approximately 40.1 EH/s. We are currently undertaking an expansion of our data center capacity at Childress to support a direct-to-chip liquid cooling deployment known as “Horizon 1” with an IT load of up to 50MW (based on rack density of up to 200kW, subject to customer requirements) targeting energization by the end of calendar year 2025 for potential growth opportunities for HPC and AI services. As of June 30, 2025, we have purchased RECs in respect of 100% of our energy consumption through to such date at our Childress site.
Our 1,400MW Sweetwater 1 and 600MW Sweetwater 2 sites are under development and located approximately 40 miles from Abilene, Texas. As of June 30, 2025 we had paid $11.7 million of connection deposits for Sweetwater 1, as well as $13.5 million in connection deposits and $4.1 million in non-refundable connection costs for Sweetwater 2, with such payments facilitating a direct connection to the ERCOT grid. We expect to pay up to $13.5 million in connection deposits over the next 12 months, related to our Sweetwater 2 site. Construction of substation infrastructure has commenced at Sweetwater 1 (along with site establishment works such as construction offices, laydown areas and warehouse construction), and we are targeting grid connection and a substation energization date in the second quarter of calendar year 2026 for Sweetwater 1 and the fourth quarter of calendar year 2027 for Sweetwater 2. Design works are complete for a direct fiber loop between Sweetwater 1 and Sweetwater 2.
We also have three data center sites in British Columbia, Canada, namely Canal Flats, Mackenzie and Prince George. Our Canal Flats site was acquired from PodTech Innovation Inc. and certain of its related parties in January 2020, and has been operating since 2019. As of June 30, 2025 it had approximately 30MW of data center capacity and hashrate capacity of approximately 1.6 EH/s. Our Mackenzie site has been operating since April 2022 and, as of June 30, 2025, had approximately 80MW of data center capacity and hashrate capacity of approximately 5.2 EH/s. Our Prince George site has been operating since September 2022 and, as of June 30, 2025, had approximately 50MW of data center capacity and hashrate capacity of approximately 3.1 EH/s. Our AI Cloud Service, comprising NVIDIA H100 and H200 GPUs as of June 30, 2025, is also currently operated at our Prince George site.
Each of our sites in British Columbia are connected to BC Hydro electricity transmission network and have been 100% powered by renewable energy since commencement of operations (currently approximately 98% sourced from clean or renewable sources, including through hydroelectric sources, wind, solar and biomass, as reported by BC Hydro and approximately 2% accounted for by the purchase of RECs). BC Hydro retains the environmental attributes from the renewable energy they sell us. Our contracts with BC Hydro each had an initial term of one year and shall extend until terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement upon six months' notice.
As of June 30, 2025, we have approximately 810MW of operating data center capacity and an installed hashrate capacity of approximately 50 EH/s across our sites in British Columbia (160MW) and Texas (650MW). In addition, as of June 30, 2025, we had approximately 1.9k NVIDIA H100 and H200 GPUs, which are deployed at our Prince George data center and are being used to provide AI Cloud Services to third party customers. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, we procured, through a combination of purchases and equipment leasing, approximately 5.5k NVIDIA B200 GPUs, 2.3k NVIDIA B300 GPUs and 1.2k NVIDIA GB300 GPUs to be installed at our Prince George site by the end of calendar year 2025, that will bring the total GPU fleet to approximately 10.9k NVIDIA GPUs.
Recent Developments
NVIDIA Strategic Partnership
In May 2026, we entered into a strategic partnership with NVIDIA intended to support the deployment over time of up to 5GW of NVIDIA DSX-aligned AI infrastructure across our global data center pipeline. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, we granted NVIDIA the right to invest up to $2.1 billion in Ordinary shares, subject to delivery of up to 600,000 GPUs and certain regulatory conditions.
Strategic Acquisitions
In June 2026, we completed the acquisition of Nostrum Group, a developer of grid-connected AI data centers based in Spain. In connection with the acquisition, we issued 837,424 Ordinary shares on June 12, 2026 to certain of the sellers thereunder plus approximately EUR 82 million of cash. The acquisition marked our entry into the European market and added several data center sites including an approximately 300MW site in Badajoz, together with an additional development pipeline, and local development, engineering, construction and operations capabilities.
In August 2026, we completed the acquisition of Mirantis, Inc. (“Mirantis”), a provider of cloud infrastructure software, Kubernetes-based orchestration and enterprise support services.

The GPU quantity and the estimated monthly payments are expected to be approximately equal across all four tranches.
In May 2026, we entered into a five-year cloud services contract with NVIDIA to support its internal AI and research workloads representing approximately $3.4 billion of total contract value.
In July 2026, we entered into multi-year cloud services contracts with leading AI developers including Prometheus, Perplexity and Together AI, representing approximately $2.8 billion in aggregate total contract value.
In August 2026, we entered into a multi-year cloud services contract with a leading frontier AI lab.
Transition from IFRS to GAAP
Our consolidated financial statements were previously presented in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. As of December 31, 2024, the Group no longer met the definition of a "foreign private issuer" under U.S. federal securities regulations and is therefore required to file an annual report on Form 10-K covering the years ended June 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Accordingly, this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Set forth below is unaudited supplemental quarterly financial information that reflects material retrospective adjustments to our consolidated statements of operations as a result of the transition to GAAP and is intended to assist investors in evaluating our results of operations on a consistent basis across periods.
The most significant transitional adjustments to our financial statements related to the accounting treatment of our convertible notes and classification of leases. Additional information regarding the differences between IFRS and GAAP and the related transitional adjustments is provided in Note 3 to our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are affected by the factors described below. These factors should be considered together with the matters described under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report.
Customer demand, contracting and customer concentration
Growth in AI training and inference workloads has contributed to increased demand for our AI Cloud Services. We expect AI infrastructure requirements to expand as organizations develop and deploy AI across a broader range of use cases. The pace and breadth of AI adoption, together with customers’ infrastructure strategies and investment priorities, will affect demand for our platform and the timing and scale of our investments.
Our AI Cloud Services revenue depends on our ability to contract capacity with creditworthy customers on acceptable commercial terms, and on the continued growth of demand for AI infrastructure. We primarily contract capacity under multi-year reserved capacity arrangements that specify the amount and type of capacity, service levels, pricing, term, customer prepayments, deployment schedules and acceptance conditions. Revenue (excluding prepayments) generally commences only after applicable compute has been delivered, commissioned, placed in service and accepted (where applicable) by the relevant customer.
Our customer contracts are concentrated, and the loss of, default by, or reduction in capacity taken by any of our largest customers could materially affect our revenue and our ability to service any indebtedness incurred to finance the related infrastructure. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” We seek to mitigate this exposure through customer credit assessment, customer prepayments and by broadening our customer base across hyperscalers, enterprises AI developers, frontier labs, and channel partners. Diversification may reduce concentration over time but may also result in shorter contract terms, smaller individual commitments and greater variability in utilization and pricing.
Delivery, commissioning, testing and customer acceptance of AI Cloud Services capacity
Our ability to convert contracted capacity into revenue depends on delivery of capacity in accordance with contractual schedules. Each deployment requires the completion of data center construction and energization, delivery and installation of GPUs, servers, storage and networking equipment, integration and configuration of the resulting clusters, performance testing against contractual specifications, and acceptance by the customer. Revenue generally begins only upon customer acceptance, and in certain arrangements is subject to service-level credits based on uptime and other performance requirements thereafter. Delays at any stage may postpone revenue commencement and result in “delay credits”, while certain operating, financing and other costs continue to be incurred, affecting expected project returns. Failure to satisfy delivery schedules or ongoing service-level requirements may also result in significant payments under relevant customer contracts being reduced or delayed, expose us to service credits, damages or other liability, or give rise to termination rights under our customer contracts, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, financial condition and future prospects.
Power availability and data center construction
Our growth depends on our ability to secure large-scale grid-connected power, and to construct and energize data centers capable of supporting AI compute. As of June 30, 2026, we had executed grid connection agreements, letters of agreement or equivalents representing approximately 5GW of total power capacity in the United States, Canada, Spain and Asia Pacific and data center projects in varying stages of development.
Development timelines are affected by grid connection studies and approvals, transmission and substation construction, utility and transmission service provider processes, permitting, equipment lead times and construction execution. Permitting requirements, evolving regulation and community considerations may affect not only development schedules and costs but also the continued validity of the permits and grid connection rights required to operate the facility.
Once a data center is operating, our electricity costs are influenced by regional utility tariffs or wholesale market prices and, where applicable, hedging and longer-term procurement arrangements. Further, the availability of electricity and our cost of electricity may be affected by regulatory requirements and conditions that are applicable to us or data centers generally. These factors, together with data center efficiency and utilization, affect the operating costs and margins of our AI Cloud Services.
GPU procurement, deployment, and technology obsolescence
Our AI Cloud Services business requires access to successive generations of GPUs and related infrastructure. Our ability to obtain allocation of leading-edge compute on acceptable terms and timelines depends on our relationships with chipmakers and OEMs. We work closely with a diverse range of suppliers to secure access to GPUs and related infrastructure to ensure we can support our planned expansion. Tariffs, trade restrictions and supply chain disruptions may affect the availability, cost and delivery timing of GPUs, servers, networking and storage equipment and specialized electrical and cooling components.
Compute hardware is subject to rapid technological change, and the introduction of new architectures may reduce the market rate for earlier generations. We estimate the useful lives of GPUs and related equipment based on expected utilization and technological developments. We manage our exposure by maintaining a multi-generation fleet, and by matching hardware generations to different customer workload and cost requirements, and by seeking contract terms and durations that support recovery of the associated capital cost over the contracted period.
Contract pricing, utilization and financing economics
The returns we generate on AI Cloud Services depend on the price at which capacity is contracted, the proportion of installed capacity that is contracted, the capital cost of the associated infrastructure, the useful life of the associated infrastructure and the cost and structure of the financing used to fund it.
Pricing for AI compute capacity is influenced by the hardware generation and configuration, contract term, prepayments, creditworthiness of the customer and prevailing supply of comparable capacity. We fund our AI Cloud deployments through a combination of asset-level and corporate-level initiatives. As we scale, we expect our diversified sources of funding will enable us to optimize the cost of capital. Our ability to raise the substantial capital needed for our AI Cloud deployments will depend on financial, economic and market conditions and other factors, over which we may have no or limited control, and such capital may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, when we require it.
Software development and platform integration
The software layer of our platform enables customers to provision, deploy, manage and monitor AI workloads. We believe these capabilities affect the range of customers and workloads our platform can serve. Our performance will depend on our ability to continue integrating these capabilities, execute our product roadmap and translate software functionality into customer adoption, increased utilization and additional revenue. Our investment in the software layer includes the acquisition of Mirantis, a provider of cloud software and services, completed on August 3, 2026. We are integrating its k0rdent AI platform into our software layer. Because the acquisition completed after June 30, 2026, it did not affect our results of operations and is not reflected in our financial statements for fiscal year 2026.
Macroeconomic conditions, tariffs and supply chain
Global economic and geopolitical conditions have been increasingly volatile due to factors such as trade restrictions, inflation, rising interest rates and supply chain disruptions. The impacts of inflation have resulted in increased operating expenses as we grow and develop our managerial, operational and financial capabilities and systems, consistent with the impacts of inflation on the general economy. If our costs, in particular labor, information system, technology, hardware and utility costs, were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we might not be able to effectively mitigate such higher costs. In addition, inflation may impact our ability to obtain financing for future capital expenditures at a price that is acceptable, or at all. Our inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The AI Cloud Services industry is characterized by volatility and significant demand for equipment, including GPUs, servers, networking and storage equipment and specialized electrical and cooling components. Tariffs and trade restrictions also affect our procurement of such equipment, which we source from a limited number of suppliers and, in certain cases, from a limited number of manufacturing locations. Supply chain delays, manufacturing constraints and logistics disruption may affect our ability to meet our delivery obligations to customers and may result in significant payments under relevant customer contracts being reduced or delayed, expose us to service credits, damages or other liability, or give rise to termination rights under our customer contracts, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, financial condition and future prospects. Increases in the cost of this equipment, or restriction on its availability, could increase the capital cost of our deployments, delay delivery and acceptance of contracted capacity, or both. Suppliers may from time-to-time increase the price of equipment, including orders we have already placed. Our contracts with suppliers in some cases permit the pass-through of such cost increases, meaning that, notwithstanding that an order has already been made, the increased prices may nonetheless apply to us. We are not always able to pass through these increased costs to our customers, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Market Value of Bitcoin
We primarily derive our revenues from Bitcoin mining. We earn rewards from Bitcoin mining that are paid in Bitcoin. We currently liquidate rewards that we earn from mining Bitcoin in exchange for fiat currencies such as USD or CAD, typically on a daily basis. Because the rewards we earn from mining Bitcoin are paid in Bitcoin, our operating and financial results are tied to fluctuations in the value of Bitcoin. In addition, positive or negative changes in the global hashrate impact mining difficulty and therefore the rewards we earn from mining Bitcoins may as a result materially affect our revenue and margins.
In a declining Bitcoin price environment, the Bitcoin mining protocol may provide a natural downside protection for low-cost Bitcoin miners through an adjustment to the number of Bitcoin mined. For example, when the Bitcoin price falls, the ability for higher cost miners to pay their operating costs may be impacted, which in turn may lead over time to higher cost miners switching off their operations (for example, if their marginal cost of power makes it unprofitable to continue mining, they may exit the network). As a result, in such circumstances the global hashrate may fall, and remaining low-cost miners may benefit from an increased percentage share of the fixed Bitcoin network rewards.

We are a leadingvertically integrated provider of AI Cloud Services, delivering large-scale data centers and GPU clusters for AI training and inference. Our vertically integrated platform is underpinned by an expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and data centerspower in renewable-rich regions across the U.S. and Canada.globe.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Group revised its reportable segments to better align with its evolving business operations and strategic objectives. Accordingly, comparative information for prior periods has been recast to conform to the current-period presentation. Previously, the Group operated and reported as a single segment. We now have two reportable business segments: AI Cloud Services and Bitcoin Mining.
Our AI Cloud Services operations generate revenue by providing access to cloud-based GPU computing to customers for AI training and inference workloads. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 99,900 GPUs installed or on order for our data centers.
Our Bitcoin Mining operations generate revenue by earning Bitcoin through a combination of Block rewards and transaction fees from the operation of our Bitcoin miners and exchanging these Bitcoin for fiat currencies such as USD or CAD. We typically liquidate all the Bitcoin we mine daily and therefore did not have any Bitcoin held on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, we had installed hashrate capacity of approximately 46 EH/s.
We are also pursuing a strategy of expanding and diversifying our revenue sources into other HPC and AI services beyond AI Cloud Services, including through the development of purpose-built AI data centers for colocation.
Our cash and cash equivalents were $3,260.6 million as of December 31, 2025. Our total revenue was $184.7 million and $116.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $425.0 million and $168.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We generated net income (loss) of $(155.4) million and $(21.9) million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $229.2 million and $(73.6) million for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We generated EBITDA of $(243.9) million and $17.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $418.8 million and $(1.4) million for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We generated Adjusted EBITDA of $75.3 million and $62.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $167.0 million and $64.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures not defined by GAAP. For a definition of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, an explanation of our management’s use of these measures and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to loss after income tax expense, see “Key Indicators of Performance and Financial Conditions”.
Data Centers
We are a vertically integrated business, and currently own and operate our computing hardware (consisting of GPUs for AI Cloud Services and ASICs for Bitcoin Mining), as well as our electrical infrastructure and data centers, including the freehold land. This provides us with additional security and operational control over our assets. We believe data center ownership also allows our business to benefit from more sustainable cash flows and operational flexibility in comparison with operators that rely upon third-party colocation services or short-term land leases which may be subject to termination rights, profit sharing arrangements and/or potential changes to contractual terms such as pricing.
We generally target development of data centers in regions where there are low-cost and attractive renewable energy sources. Our data centers are currently powered by 100% renewable energy (whether from clean or renewable energy sources or through the purchase of renewable energy certificates (“RECs”)). We also focus on grid-connected power access which we believe not only helps facilitate a more reliable, long-term supply of power, but also provides us with the ability to support the energy markets in which we operate (for example, through potential participation in demand response, ancillary services provision and load management in deregulated markets such as Texas). Over 80% of our operating data center capacity is currently located in the United States.
We have seven data center sites with executed grid connection agreements oragreements, letters of agreement or equivalents, representing approximately 4,500MW4,510MW of total power capacity: three in Texas, United States, namely Childress,Childress (750MW), Sweetwater 1 (1,400MW) and Sweetwater 2,2 (600MW), one in Oklahoma (1,600MW), United States, and three in British Columbia, Canada, namely Canal Flats,Flats (30MW), Mackenzie (80MW) and Prince George,George and(50MW). oneOur indata Oklahoma,centers Unitedare States.currently powered by 100% renewable energy (whether from clean or renewable energy sources or through the purchase of renewable energy certificates (“RECs”)).
Our AI Cloud Services operations generate revenue by providing access to cloud-based GPU computing to customers for AI training and inference workloads. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately 150,000 GPUs installed or on order for our data centers.
Our Bitcoin mining operations generate revenue by earning Bitcoin through a combination of Block rewards and transaction fees from the operation of our Bitcoin miners and exchanging these Bitcoin for fiat currencies such as USD or CAD. We typically liquidate all the Bitcoin we mine daily and therefore did not have any Bitcoin held on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we had installed hashrate capacity of approximately 38 EH/s.
We are also pursuing a strategy of expanding and diversifying our revenue sources into other HPC and AI services beyond AI Cloud Services, including through re-purposing data centers historically used for Bitcoin mining.
Our cash and cash equivalents were $2,213.3 million as of March 31, 2026. Our total revenue was $144.8 million and $144.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $569.8 million and $313.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We generated net income (loss) of $(247.8) million and $(16.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $(18.6) million and $(89.7) million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
We generated EBITDA of $(139.8) million and $38.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $279.0 million and $37.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We generated Adjusted EBITDA of $59.5 million and $83.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $226.5 million and $148.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures not defined by GAAP. For a definition of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, an explanation of our management’s use of these measures and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to loss after income tax expense, see “Key Indicators of Performance and Financial Conditions”.
Our 750MW Childress site has been operating since April 2023 and, as of December 31, 2025, has approximately 650MW of operating data center capacity and installed hashrate capacity of approximately 40 EH/s. We are currently undertaking an expansion of our data center capacity at Childress to support direct-to-chip liquid cooling GPU deployments known as “Horizon 1,” “Horizon 2,” “Horizon 3” and “Horizon 4” with a combined IT load of up to 200MW. We do not expect a material reduction in hashrate capacity at our Childress site until the full deployment of “Horizon 3” and “Horizon 4.”
Our 1,400MW Sweetwater 1 and 600MW Sweetwater 2 sites are under development and located approximately 40 miles from Abilene, Texas. We are targeting connection to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (“ERCOT”) grid and a substation energization date in the second quarter of calendar year 2026 for Sweetwater 1 and the fourth quarter of calendar year 2027 for Sweetwater 2. Design works are complete for a direct fiber loop between Sweetwater 1 and Sweetwater 2.
Our 30MW Canal Flats site was acquired from PodTech Innovation Inc. and certain of its related parties in January 2020, and has been operating since 2019. As of December 31, 2025 it had approximately 30MW of data center capacity and hashrate capacity of approximately 1.6 EH/s.
Our 80MW Mackenzie site has been operating since April 2022 and, as of December 31, 2025, had approximately 80MW of data center capacity and hashrate capacity of approximately 4.4 EH/s, down from 5.2 EH/s following GPU retrofitting at our Mackenzie site in connection with the Group’s strategic focus on expanding its AI Cloud Services.
Our 50MW Prince George site has been operating since September 2022 and, as of December 31, 2025, had approximately 50MW of data center capacity. All of the hashrate capacity at Prince George has been displaced to accommodate GPUs at the site.

Underwriting commitmentCommitment for GPU Financing
Our performance is currently driven by two principal businesses: AI Cloud Services, which is the strategic focus of the Group and is expected to become the main driver of our growth; and Bitcoin mining, which continues to generate a substantial portion of our revenue, but is expected to reduce over time. Near-term results continue to be affected by the market value of Bitcoin, global network hashrate and mining difficulty, our hashrate capacity and mining fleet efficiency, and our cost of electricity and the transition to AI Cloud Services. As we continue to expand our AI Cloud Services business, our performance will also increasingly depend on our ability to secure customers on commercially reasonable terms, obtain GPUs and other equipment, develop and construct data centers on time and within budget, secure sufficient power and timely grid connections, energize sites on schedule, and compete effectively in the rapidly evolving AI Cloud Services market.
Ability to Expand HPC and AI services and Secure Customers
Our growth strategy includes continuing to expand our AI Cloud Services business. We believe our vertically integrated platform, including our existing infrastructure and expertise, will allow us to continue to expand our offerings and target a range of customers across various sectors. As we enter into new markets for HPC and AI services, we will face new sources of competition, new business models and new customer relationships.
Our ability to secure and retain customers on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and specifically our ability to attract and retain customers under contracts that generate recurring revenue, will affect our expansion into HPC and AI services. Our strategy may not be successful as a result of a number of factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our increased focus on HPC and AI services may not be successful and may result in adverse consequences to our business, results of operations and financial condition” in our Annual Report.
Ability to Secure GPUs and Other Equipment
Our ability to expand our AI Cloud Services business depends in part on our ability to source GPUs and other hardware and equipment on acceptable terms and in a timely manner. The market for GPUs and related equipment remains highly competitive and supply constrained, and demand from hyperscalers and other cloud providers and consumers may limit availability, extend lead times and increase prices. Delays in obtaining GPUs, networking equipment, transformers, switchgear, cooling equipment or other critical components could delay installation, commissioning and revenue generation.
Our growth strategies include pursuing a strategy to expand and diversify our revenue streams into new markets. Pursuant to that strategy, we are increasing our focus on diversification into HPC and AI services, including the provision of AI Cloud Services and potential colocation services. We believe we may be able to leverage our existing infrastructure and expertise to continue to expand our HPC and AI Cloud Services offering and target a range of customers across various sectors. We are pursuing a strategy of replacing ASICs for Bitcoin mining with GPUs and/or contracts for HPC and AI services at some of our data centers. We are advancing the design of direct-to-chip liquid cooling systems, including to support an initial IT load of up to 200MW (based on rack density of 200kW, subject to customer requirements) liquid-cooled deployment at Childress. As we enter into new markets for HPC and AI services, we will face new sources of competition, new business models and new customer relationships. Our ability to secure and retain customers on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and specifically our ability to attract and retain customers under contracts that generate recurring revenue, will affect our expansion into HPC and AI services. Our strategy may not be successful as a result of a number of factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our increased focus on HPC and AI services may not be successful and may result in adverse consequences to our business, results of operations and financial condition” in our Annual Report. Our efforts to diversify our revenue streams may distract management, require significant additional capital, expose us to new competition and market dynamics, and increase our cost of doing business.
Market Value of Bitcoin
While we are in the process of expanding and diversifying our revenue sources to include AI Cloud Services, we currently derive our revenues primarily from Bitcoin mining. We earn rewards from Bitcoin mining that are paid in Bitcoin. We currently liquidate rewards that we earn from mining Bitcoin in exchange for fiat currencies such as USD or CAD, typically on a daily basis. Because the rewards we earn from mining Bitcoin are paid in Bitcoin, our operating and financial results are tied to fluctuations in the value of Bitcoin. In addition, positive or negative changes in the global hashrate impact mining difficulty and therefore the rewards we earn from mining Bitcoin may as a result materially affect our revenue and margins.
In a declining Bitcoin price environment, the Bitcoin mining protocol may provide a natural downside protection for low-cost Bitcoin miners through an adjustment to the number of Bitcoin mined. For example, when the Bitcoin price falls, the ability for higher cost miners to pay their operating costs may be impacted, which in turn may lead over time to higher cost miners switching off their operations (for example, if their marginal cost of power makes it unprofitable to continue mining, they may exit the network). As a result, in such circumstances the global hashrate may fall, and remaining low-cost miners may benefit from an increased percentage share of the fixed Bitcoin network rewards.
Conversely, in a rising Bitcoin price environment, additional mining machines may be deployed by miners, leading to increased global hashrate in the overall network. In periods of rising Bitcoin prices we may increase our capital expenditures in mining machines and related infrastructure to take advantage of potentially faster returns on investments, subject to availability of capital and market conditions. However, we also note that the global hashrate may also increase or decrease irrespective of changes in the Bitcoin price.
While the supply of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million, the price of Bitcoin fluctuates not just because of traditional notions of supply and demand but also because of the dynamic nature of the market for Bitcoin. Given its relative infancy compared to other more established markets, the market for Bitcoin is rapidly changing and subject to global regulatory, tax, political, environmental, cybersecurity, and market factors beyond our control. For a discussion of other factors that could lead to material adverse changes in the market value of Bitcoin, which could in turn result in substantial damage to or even the failure of our business, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business” in our Annual Report.
Further, the rewards for each Bitcoin mined are subject to “halving” adjustments at predetermined intervals. At the outset, the reward for mining each block was set at 50 Bitcoins and this was cut in half to 25 Bitcoins on November 28, 2012 at block 210,000, cut in half to 12.5 Bitcoins on July 9, 2016 at block 420,000, cut in half to 6.25 Bitcoins on May 11, 2020 at block 630,000, and cut in half again to 3.125 Bitcoins on April 20, 2024 at block 840,000. The next two halving events for Bitcoin are expected to take place in 2028 at block 1,050,000 (when the reward will reduce to 1.5625 Bitcoins), and in 2032 at block 1,260,000 (when the reward will reduce to 0.78125 Bitcoins). As the rewards for each Bitcoin mined reduce, the Bitcoin we earn relative to our hashrate capacity decreases. As a result these adjustments have had, and will continue to have, material effects on our operating and financial results.
Efficiency of Mining Machines
As global mining capacity increases, we will need to correspondingly increase our total hashrate capacity in order to maintain our proportionate share relative to the overall global hashrate – all else being equal – to maintain the same amount of Bitcoin mining revenue. Our Bitcoin mining operations currently utilize the Bitmain S21 XP miners, S21 Pro miners, S21 miners and T21 miners. To remain cost competitive compared to other mining sector participants, in addition to targeting cost effective sources of energy and operating efficient data center infrastructure, we expect we will need to maintain an energy efficient mining fleet, which will require capital outlays to purchase new miners, so that we can make periodic upgrades to our existing mining fleet.
In certain periods, there may be disruption in the global supply chain leading to shortage of advanced mining machines that meet our standard of quality and efficiency. To maintain our competitive edge over the long-term, we strive to maintain strong relationships with suppliers and vendors across the supply chain so that our fleet of miners is competitive.
Ability to SecureDevelop, Low-Cost ElectricityConstruct and TimelyCommission GridData Connections, Particularly Renewable PowerCenters
Our ability to design, develop, construct and commission data center capacity on time and on budget will affect the expansion of our AI Cloud Services business. The development and construction of data centers is complex and subject to delays arising from permitting, design changes, labor availability, contractor performance, supply chain constraints, delivery of critical equipment, weather, site conditions and other execution challenges. If we are unable to complete construction, commissioning and customer deployment on the timelines we expect, our ability to generate AI Cloud revenue and our operating results may be adversely affected.
