Recent Business and Financial Updates

  • Financial Performance Overview: IREN Limited (NASDAQ: IREN) reported a record-breaking performance for May 2025, achieving USD64.7 million in Bitcoin mining revenue, a 29% increase from USD50.1 million in April 2025, driven by a higher average operating hashrate of 38.4 EH/s and elevated Bitcoin prices. The company also generated USD2.2 million in AI Cloud Services revenue, reflecting continued scaling with a 98% hardware profit margin. Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 FY25 reached USD83.3 million, up from USD62.6 million in Q2 FY25, underpinned by a 24% increase in Bitcoin mining revenue and a 33% rise in AI Cloud Services revenue. With USD184.3 million in cash and equivalents as of March 31, 2025, IREN maintains a strong financial position to support its growth initiatives.
  • Bitcoin Mining Achievements: IREN’s Bitcoin mining operations demonstrated significant progress, with 627 Bitcoin mined in May 2025, compared to 579 in April, supported by a 5% increase in average operating hashrate to 38.4 EH/s. The company achieved a record hardware profit of USD47.8 million with a 74% margin, despite higher electricity costs of USD16.9 million. IREN is on track to reach 50 EH/s by June 30, 2025, which is projected to generate USD977 million in annualized mining revenue at current economics. By pausing further mining expansion at 50 EH/s, IREN is strategically shifting focus to capitalize on high-margin AI infrastructure opportunities.
  • AI Cloud Services and Data Center Development: IREN’s AI Cloud Services segment continues to scale, generating USD2.2 million in May 2025 with near-full GPU fleet utilization, supporting training and inference workloads for leading U.S. AI cloud providers and yielding an annualized run-rate revenue of USD28 million. The Horizon 1 AI Data Center at Childress, with a 50MW liquid-cooled capacity, remains on track for Q4 2025 delivery, with ongoing customer negotiations and procurement of long-lead equipment to support expansion beyond the initial deployment. Additionally, the Sweetwater project, targeting a 2GW data center hub, is advancing with substation works underway for energization in April 2026 and late 2027, positioning IREN to meet growing demand for AI compute capacity.
  • Strategic and Operational Outlook: IREN’s strategic pivot to prioritize AI data center development, while maintaining its position as a low-cost Bitcoin mining leader, underscores its adaptability to market trends. The company’s strong operating cash flow supports ongoing investments in the Childress and Sweetwater projects, with financing initiatives to fund further expansion. IREN’s transition to U.S. domestic issuer status from July 1, 2025, and its engagement in high-profile industry events reflect its commitment to enhancing visibility and stakeholder confidence. With a robust pipeline of customer contracts and a focus on liquid-cooled AI infrastructure, IREN is well-positioned to drive long-term growth in the AI and compute sectors.
