BUSINESS OVERVIEW, TRENDS, BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND OPERATIONAL MILESTONES
Business Overview
HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. is a sustainable-energy focused digital infrastructure company. Our business model consists of using cash-flow generated from our established hashrate services business to support our ongoing AI and HPC business expansion that is primarily being undertaken through our subsidiary, BUZZ High Performance Computing Inc. ("BUZZ" or "BUZZ HPC"). The Company leverages its existing footprint of Tier-I data centers, initially optimized for energy-efficient hashrate services, to secure low-cost power, grid access, and operational scale, then incrementally upgrades these assets to Tier-III, enterprise-grade AI infrastructure capable of supporting high-density GPU workloads, liquid cooling, and mission-critical uptime. Through BUZZ HPC, HIVE is positioning itself as a sovereign AI provider, offering domestically controlled, regulation-aligned compute infrastructure tailored to governments, enterprises, and research institutions, particularly in Canada. Our geographic strategy focuses on energy-advantaged regions such as Canada, Sweden, and Paraguay, where abundant, low-cost renewable power enables both immediate monetization and long-term scalability. By converting energy access into increasingly valuable compute capacity, HIVE is transitioning from a traditional hashrate service provider into a vertically integrated, capital-efficient AI infrastructure platform aligned with global trends in AI demand, data localization, and power-constrained data center development.
The Company is a reporting issuer in each of the Provinces and Territories of Canada and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the United States. The Company's common shares are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Capital Markets Exchange under the symbol "HIVE" and on the Colombian Stock Exchange under the symbol "HIVECO".
HIVE operates "green" energy-powered data center facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Paraguay. Our references to "green" energy are to our energy supply agreements with producers of hydroelectric power in Canada, Sweden and Paraguay, and previously, hosting agreements with suppliers in Iceland where the hosting facilities were powered by hydroelectric or geothermal power. One of our key objectives in locating our facilities where they are is to avoid or minimise using energy derived from fossil fuels. Our facilities are connected to local power grids that are controlled by local authorities. As a result, we do not control the sourcing of our power, which may include energy from any source on the grid. However, the close proximity of our facilities to hydroelectric based power generating plants, makes it highly probable that a significant portion of the power that we use for our data centers originates from those hydroelectric plants, which is the basis for our saying that our operations are "green."
Our Portfolio
The following table summarizes the operational hashrate of each of the Company's major data centers together with its average operational power consumption and power capacity available to each such data center, as of July 31, 2026. As of July 31, 2026, the Company's total installed hashrate was approximately 25.2 EH/s with an implied efficiency of 16.5 J/TH, based on the nameplate hashrate and power consumption of the installed miners. Where miners were operating in a modified operating mode, including through controlled downclocking for fleet optimization, the figures reflect the expected hashrate and power consumption associated with such modified operating mode. After accounting for these adjustments, the Company's installed hashrate was approximately 24.5 EH/s, with an implied fleet efficiency of 16.1 J/TH.

Currently, the majority of our data center power is being utilized by HIVE to generate hashrate which is sold to mining pools who then utilize the hashrate for the mining of Bitcoin. The mining pools acquire the hashrate from HIVE based on an FPPS payout model. We retain our Bitcoin in segregated, secure storage wallets with Fireblocks Inc. ("Fireblocks") and Bank Frick, third-party providers that specialize in secure crypto storage. We have not collateralized our Bitcoin assets against debt or other obligations of any kind. Our Bitcoin is not stored on any exchange. Our Bitcoin is never "staked" for mining purposes or loaned to any third party.
The Company recognizes the majority of its revenue from the provision of hashrate services, where the Company generates hashrate and sells said hashrate to mining pools which utilise the hashrate for their purposes while paying out HIVE based on an FPPS payout model for which the Company receives digital currencies and records them at their fair value on the date received. The Company's revenue is being diversified through our expansion into Tier-III data center operations, which support HPC and AI based applications.

Digital currency operations
The Bitcoin protocol is such that following every 210,000 blocks that are mined, the mining rewards are reduced by 50 percent (a "Halving"). The most recent Halving occurred on April 20, 2024, with the block rewards reduced from 6.25 Bitcoin to 3.125 Bitcoin. The Company continues to make opportunistic investments to upgrade its ASICs and infrastructure, improve fleet efficiency and maximise hashrate.
On December 3, 2024, the Company announced the purchase of 13,480 Bitmain S21+ Hydro units, together with a purchase option for an additional 13,480 units, representing approximately a combined total of 8.6 EH/s capacity. The Company subsequently exercised this option, with approximately 7,420 units shipped to the Yguazú Facility and the remaining 6,060 units scheduled for shipment to the Valenzuela Facility in September 2025.
In March 2025, the Company purchased 16,560 Bitmain S21+ Antminers (~3.57 EH/s) delivered to the Yguazú Facility and subsequently exercised a purchase option for 15,000 additional Bitmain S21+ Hydro units (~4.78 EH/s) delivered to the Valenzuela Facility.
On March 17, 2025, the Company closed the acquisition of the 200 MW hydroelectric facility in Yguazú, Paraguay. Phase 1 (~6 EH/s) commenced operations in early April 2025. The site was fully energized by mid-May 2025. Phase 2 (~6.5 EH/s) was completed in early September 2025. Phase 3 at the Valenzuela facility (100 MW, ~6.5 EH/s) was completed on November 10, 2025, two weeks ahead of schedule, bringing total installed hashrate to approximately 25 EH/s with overall fleet efficiency of approximately 17.5 J/TH.
On October 5, 2025, the Company executed a cashless exercise of its call option on its prior Bitcoin payment on equipment purchases and repurchased 86.5341 Bitcoin at the strike price of $86,962 at a time when the market price was $123,502 resulting in a credit of $3.2 million that was used towards 723 Bitmain S21 XP Antminers that were ordered to replace some older generation ASICs.
On October 21, 2025, the Company announced it signed a definitive agreement to develop an additional 100 MW hydroelectric-powered data center campus at its Yguazú site in Paraguay. This expansion will increase HIVE's total renewable power capacity in Paraguay to 400 MW.
On December 14, 2025, the Company executed a cashless exercise of its call option on its prior Bitcoin payment on equipment purchases and repurchased 287.0313 Bitcoin at the strike price of $86,962 at a time when market price was $93,145 resulting in a credit of $1.8 million that was used towards the Bitmain S21 XP Antminers announced on December 30, 2025.
On December 30, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 8,000 Bitmain S21 XP Antminers to upgrade some older-generation equipment across its data center portfolio. In addition, the Company entered into an agreement that will allow it to execute a cashless exercise of its call option on its prior Bitcoin payment on equipment purchases for 318.1019 Bitcoin at the strike price of $86,962 at a deemed market price of $110,000 resulting in a credit of $7.3 million that is to be applied towards the purchase of these Bitmain S21 XP Antminers.
The Bitmain S21 XP Antminers were expected to ship between January 2026 and March 2026. Each S21 XP unit has an average hashrate of approximately 270 TH/s, representing an aggregate nameplate capacity of approximately 2.16 EH/s. As these units are intended to replace existing lower-efficiency machines, the net expected increase in hashrate is approximately 1.30 ExaHash. As at March 31, 2026, the Company paid for and received delivery of 5,334 units from this order.
In January 2026, the Company sublet its lease agreement for its 4 MW facility in Robertsfors, Sweden through August 18, 2026, and disposed of the legacy ASIC equipment for nominal value, consistent with the Company's strategy of concentrating capital in its lowest-cost facilities.

These developments are central to our strategic commitment to fostering scalable, energy-efficient operations in regions that offer low-cost energy advantages. Management believes these advancements will drive significant value for our investors as we continue to optimize our operations and expand our presence in the ASIC landscape.
High-performance computing operations
The Company has continued to develop and expand its HPC business, which draws on the Company's fleet of GPUs in enterprise grade data center servers operating in Tier-III data centers. These GPUs operate with redundancy and are utilized for rental through GPU on-demand marketplaces and term contracts, where end users are typically performing Large Language Model ("LLM") computations, such as modeling, inference and fine-tuning. Currently, the Company collectively has approximately 5,000 GPUs operating across Tier-III data centers in Montreal, Canada and Stockholm Sweden, which include NVIDIA A5000, A6000, A40, H100 and H200 GPUs.
On November 17, 2025, the Company announced the purchase of 504 Nvidia Blackwell B200 GPUs installed in 63 Dell XE9680L servers with InfiniBand, representing HIVE's first deployment of next-generation AI-optimized liquid-cooled GPUs, slated for the Bell Canada AI Fabric data center in Manitoba, Canada.
On January 13, 2026, the Company announced its expansion into AI cloud services in Paraguay through a strategic joint venture with Paraguay's leading telecommunications operator. Through this partnership, HIVE launched one of the first purpose-built AI BUZZ Cloud platforms in Paraguay, located in Asunción and hosted within a Tier-III data center. The platform is designed to deliver HPC and AI infrastructure to serve academic institutions, enterprises, financial services firms, and healthcare providers across Paraguay and the broader South American region. The initial enterprise-grade GPU cluster deployment commenced in calendar Q1 2026.
On February 13, 2026, BUZZ signed customer agreements representing approximately $30 million in total contract value over two-year fixed terms for the 504 liquid-cooled Dell server-based Nvidia B200 GPUs at the Bell Canada AI Fabric data center in Manitoba. Originally expected to come online in the quarter ending March 31, 2026, the units became operational in May 2026. Based on executed contracts, current pricing, and deployment milestones, management expects this initial phase to generate approximately $15 million in projected annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) for BUZZ's cloud business once fully operational, lifting total annualized HPC segment revenue from approximately $20 million to approximately $35 million.
The term "ARR" refers to the Company's run rate revenue calculated on an annualized basis. As context dictates, the Company calculates ARR by: (i) multiplying the revenue realized per week times 52 weeks per year, (ii) multiplying the realized revenue per day times 365 days per year, or (iii) multiplying the per quarter data times four quarters per year. Projections of ARR may be unreliable as a predictor of future results because such projections typically do not incorporate the possibility of subsequent cancellations, discounts or downgrades in services. We believe that ARR is a key indicator of our future revenue potential. However, ARR does not represent GAAP revenue on an annualized basis, is not intended to be a replacement or forecast of GAAP revenue and should be viewed independently as an operating metric.
On March 16, 2026, BUZZ announced a 4x expansion of its liquid-cooled Canadian AI data center capacity through its strategic data center partner Bell Canada AI Fabric. This expansion represents growth from 4 MW in Manitoba to 16.6 MW of critical IT load across two Provinces of Canada as follows:
• Manitoba (existing): 1 MW of critical IT load. BUZZ has deployed 504 next-generation AI-optimized GPUs (~1 MW consumed), with 3 MW of remaining optional capacity supporting approximately 1,500 additional GPUs.
• British Columbia - Phase 1 (new): 5 MW of critical IT load, available immediately, supporting deployment of approximately 2,000 next-generation high-power-density AI-optimized GPUs.
• British Columbia - Phase 2 (option): An additional 7.6 MW in 2027, supporting approximately 3,000 additional GPUs.
The Company's New Brunswick 70 MW site has been identified by management as a candidate for conversion to Tier-III hyperscaler co-location (estimated $85 million ARR), and the 7.2 MW Toronto Airport site is viewed as attractive for potential government or military applications. Design development and site planning at New Brunswick are advancing.
On May 8, 2026, the Company announced that BUZZ contracted a fiber optic network overbuild and carrier transport upgrade at its Grand Falls Data Centre in New Brunswick (the "Grand Falls Network Upgrade"), a step intended to advance the site to a Tier III HPC-enabled data center. The Grand Falls Network Upgrade, undertaken in partnership with a Canadian carrier, contemplates multiple dedicated 100 Gbps and 400 Gbps wavelength connections with delivery expected to begin in the third quarter of 2026. The Company's estimated capital commitment is approximately $3.1 million over five years.
10
On May 18, 2026, the Company announced that BUZZ is advancing an approximately 320 MW AI infrastructure facility (the "GTA Gigafactory") in the Greater Toronto Area, designed to support more than 100,000 GPUs at full build-out with an estimated capital investment of approximately CAD $3.5 billion.
On June 18, 2026, the Company announced that BUZZ entered into an agreement with Bell Canada (“Bell”) and Cohere Inc. (“Cohere”) for the construction and implementation of Canadian sovereign AI infrastructure (the “BUZZ Agreement”). The Buzz Agreement contemplates that BUZZ will deploy a sovereign AI cloud and GPU cluster infrastructure at Bell's purpose-built facility in Merritt, British Columbia. The deployment is intended to provide a high-performance compute layer on which Cohere will operate its foundation models and enterprise AI solutions for government and corporate customers across Canada.
On June 18, 2026, the Company announced that the Boden Municipal Council in Boden, Sweden had approved the Company's acquisition of the Company's leased facility known as the “Big Boden 32 MW data center” from Bodens Utvecklings AB (the “Boden Acquisition”). The Big Boden facility has anchored HIVE's Swedish operations since 2018. The Company intends to advance the Big Boden data center toward Tier III infrastructure standards. The Boden Acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions.
On June 25, 2026, the Company announced that it had signed a co-location letter of intent (the “Boden LOI”) with a Swedish technology company for a lease the Company's 32 MW facility located in Boden, Sweden. The Boden LOI contemplates a term of up to 10 years for a usable critical IT load of approximately 25 MW. The Boden LOI is non-binding and subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement.
Trends, Uncertainties and Other Factors Impacting our Business and Industry
Energy Risks
Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, many countries have implemented aggressive tax policies, strategic reserves, and industrial incentives to protect their domestic energy supply. Management believes that the sharp rise in energy prices in Europe underscores the vulnerability of unhedged power consumers, particularly in energy-intensive industries while the geopolitical energy shock reinforces the strategic value of operating data centers in diverse locations. We believe a combination of energy scarcity and strong demand for AI-driven compute capacity imply that stable, low-cost renewable energy represents a critical competitive advantage in both digital asset mining and AI infrastructure services.
The Company has made best efforts to mitigate its exposure to high or unstable energy prices in Europe. Notwithstanding those efforts, there is no assurance that this risk can be mitigated. With respect to the Company's operations in Sweden, the increased energy prices across Europe resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and other global events have been buffered partially by the Company having forward energy agreements for the purchase of electricity. These energy hedging contracts allow HIVE to purchase a fixed quantity of power measured in MW, for a fixed period of time. As a result, if the index spot price increases, HIVE can rely on a previously agreed upon fixed energy price to continue operations uninterrupted.
HIVE actively monitors the hashrate economics of its operations to determine earnings from digital asset mining measured in dollars per megawatt-hour ("MWHR"). Under certain market conditions, it may be more profitable for HIVE to sell its energy rights back to the grid-as the Company would receive the proceeds of energy sold at index spot pricing, while paying the lower fixed price secured under the energy hedged contract-than to provide hash power services. This energy optimization strategy not only protects profitability but also demonstrates HIVE's operational flexibility in a volatile energy environment.
11
Our owned and leased Swedish data centers provide capacity of approximately 41.3 MW of renewable hydroelectric energy, which represents approximately 9% of our total global hydroelectric capacity. These facilities are strategically positioned to benefit from Sweden's robust renewable energy infrastructure and to support both hashrate services and emerging AI workloads. In an era when energy security is increasingly linked to national policy and the compute economy is rapidly expanding, management believes that HIVE's combination of stable renewable power and advanced data center infrastructure positions the Company to thrive across multiple high-growth digital sectors.
Governmental and regulatory actions affecting power or electricity supply to data center operators could also limit the availability of, or increase the costs we incur for, electricity in certain markets. For example, Hydro-Québec, the Province's public utility, has recently proposed electricity tariffs that, if approved by the Régie de l'énergie and enacted, could significantly increase our power costs in the Province, which, in turn, could negatively affect our Quebec operations. We continue to monitor developments, and where appropriate, participate in regulatory proceedings to oppose government actions that we believe improperly target the industries in which we operate.
Market Value of Bitcoin
We derive our revenues primarily from providing ASIC compute to bitcoin mining pool operators. We earn Bitcoin in exchange for computational power used for hashing calculations from mining pool operators. Because our compensation is paid in Bitcoin, our operating and financial results are tied to fluctuations in the value of Bitcoin.
There is also a risk that the Company could be negatively affected by Bitcoin halving events. Halving is a process designed to control the overall supply and reduce the risk of inflation in Bitcoin. At a predetermined block, the mining reward is reduced by 50 percent. The Bitcoin blockchain has undergone four Halvings since its inception. Most recently, in April 2024, the Bitcoin Block Reward decreased from 6.25 Bitcoin to 3.125 Bitcoin per block and, consequently, the number of new Bitcoin issued to companies as a reward or "subsidy" decreased from 900 per day to 450 per day, excluding transaction fees. The period of market normalization after the Bitcoin Halving to incentivizing profitability levels is unknown. A Bitcoin Halving is scheduled to occur once every 210,000 blocks, or roughly every four years, until the total amount of Bitcoin rewards issued reaches 21 million, which is expected to occur around the calendar year 2140. The next Bitcoin Halving is expected to occur in April 2028. As the rewards for each Bitcoin mined is reduced, the Bitcoin we earn relative to our hashrate capacity decreases. As a result, these adjustments have had, and are expected to continue to have, material effects on our operating and financial results.
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 Bitcoin business, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors-Risks Related to Cryptocurrency" in our Annual Report.
Tax and Regulatory Environment for Digital Infrastructure Operations
As outlined below, the Company's subsidiaries have significant potential tax exposure under claims in Sweden and Canada. We are constantly monitoring and assessing the probable outcomes based on the appeals process and advice from by consultants used in this process. We may not prevail in one or more of the pending appeals and proceedings described herein.
The application of existing tax laws to blockchain-based digital infrastructure, including hashrate services and HPC data centers, remains subject to evolving administrative interpretations and enforcement in certain jurisdictions. Where statutory frameworks predate these technologies, tax authorities may apply legacy provisions through reassessments, audits, and litigation rather than existing tax law, creating uncertainty. Tier-I data centers are designed for versatile, high-density computing and support a wide range of workloads, including cloud services, data storage, rendering, AI preparation, and as well as hashrate based compute which may fall into a different category of service under some regulatory interpretations. In particular, jurisdictions with statutory provisions for input VAT recovery (rebates/refunds) and depreciation/capital allowances may apply differently, based on infrastructure characteristics or specific workload type. We believe that in some cases, as outlined below, these characterizations warrant further review.
In Sweden, the Swedish Tax Authority (Skatteverket or "STA") has issued reassessments and decisions affecting value VAT eligibility, input VAT recovery, and the classification of computing activities at Tier-I data centers engaged in the provision of hashrate compute exported and sold to foreign companies and ultimately then sold to Bitcoin mining pools. These positions provide differentiated treatment based on computational workload, denying or limiting VAT recovery and related benefits to mining operations that may otherwise be available for comparable high-performance or data-processing activities-despite the absence of any express statutory differentiation by workload.
Industry participants, including the Company's Swedish subsidiaries, have faced retrospective reassessments, denial of VAT refunds, and ongoing administrative and court proceedings (with appeals pursued up to higher courts where appropriate). The Company maintains that its positions align with enacted Swedish tax law and has appealed adverse decisions where appropriate. As discussed herein, the Company's ability to claim VAT input recovery remains conditional on favorable rulings. If the Company and or its subsidiaries are mandated by the STA to settle existing assessments following exhausting the appeals process across Sweden and the European jurisdictions, and other tax strategies. The Company’s assets on hand at the Swedish locations may be subject to regulatory actions such as seizure and or liquidation.
In addition, the Company may have to re-deploy capital away from projects currently in progress to satisfy any obligations that may be imposed by the STA. The Company is currently assessing the risks and monitoring potential outcomes.
As announced by the Company in its news release on March 16, 2026, the Company is winding down its ASIC-based hashrate service operations in Sweden as it reallocates capital toward the expansion of its AI and high-performance computing ("HPC") business. This transition is consistent with the Company's previously announced investment in expanding BUZZ HPC's liquid-cooled AI data center capacity and reflects management's strategy to prioritize capital allocation to enterprise AI infrastructure.
The Company expects future investment in Sweden to focus on AI and HPC infrastructure, including the ongoing Tier III conversion of its Boden facilities to support enterprise-grade GPU computing.
12
Similar scrutiny exists in Canada. Regulators, such as the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA"), which administers the federal goods and services tax and harmonized provincial sales tax ("GST/HST") and Revenu Québec ("RQ") (which administers the Quebec provincial sales tax, or "QST") have audited mining and digital infrastructure activities, focusing on input tax credit eligibility, characterization of operations, and capital cost allowances. Reassessments, credit denials, and clawbacks have occurred across the sector, often through administrative processes rather than statutory changes. The Company has contested adverse positions where appropriate and continues to defend its filings. Broader Tier-I bitcoin mining data center industry challenges include potential misalignment of tax outcomes with the multi-use nature and upgrade pathways of Tier-I infrastructure toward Tier-III AI/HPC-capable facilities, increased compliance burdens, and regulatory uncertainty that may deter capital investment or affect operational flexibility in emerging fintech and digital asset sectors.
Unfavorable outcomes and biased enforcements could result in repayment obligations (potentially including interest and penalties), increased compliance costs, prolonged litigation, and higher effective tax burdens. These matters contribute to regulatory uncertainty, may impact cash flows and operating results, and reflect broader enforcement scrutiny that has disproportionately affected hashrate services relative to other data center uses. The Company mitigates these risks through geographic diversification, renewable energy sourcing, workload flexibility (ASIC to GPU/HPC), conservative provisioning, engagement of local advisors, and pursuit of appeals or judicial review as needed. Ultimate resolution may depend on legislative clarification, court determinations, or administrative settlements.
Industry subject to evolving regulatory and tax landscape
Both the regulatory and tax landscape for digital companies is evolving. The changing regulatory landscape applies to sectors that are based on blockchain, distributed ledgers, technology and the mining, use, sale and holding of tokens, or digital currencies, and the blockchain technology networks that support them.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, global energy security concerns have elevated regulatory scrutiny, with many countries introducing aggressive tax policies and energy-specific levies to protect domestic supply. This geopolitical shift has coincided with the increased interest in and adoption of AI technologies, ignited from high-performance computing breakthroughs, significantly increasing the strategic and economic value of data centers worldwide. The new operative term in global policy circles is “sovereign data centers,” which are facilities that nations view as critical infrastructure, to be controlled within their borders, particularly when they serve both hashrate compute and AI workloads.
In 2025, the United States underwent a significant policy shift in favor of Bitcoin mining and digital asset innovation. Pro-Bitcoin legislation such as the Genius Act and a growing framework for stablecoin adoption have created one of the most favorable policy environments in the world for large-scale blockchain infrastructure. This stands in sharp contrast to Canada and Sweden, which have adopted comparatively unfavorable Bitcoin mining measures in recent years, including restrictive energy allocation policies and increased scrutiny of mining infrastructure. By comparison, U.S. policy is now actively courting Bitcoin miners, positioning the country as a strategic hub for both blockchain and AI compute growth.
HIVE believes that it can continue to navigate the challenges of a mixed regulatory environment through its adaptability. In Canada and Sweden, we have continued to operate despite policy headwinds, while in Paraguay-where we operate large-scale hydro-powered facilities-an unexpected tariff increase on hydroelectricity last summer underscored the risk of sudden policy changes. These examples highlight the dynamic and sometimes unpredictable nature of the Company's operating environment, as well as HIVE's proven ability to manage and adapt to shifting energy and tax landscapes while continuing to execute its growth strategy.
Operating in an emerging industry, the Company must adapt to significant changes in regulatory, tax and industry rules and guidelines and obtain regulatory and tax advice from external global experts. In addition, regulations and the rules, rates, interpretations, and practices related to taxes, including consumption taxes such as VAT are constantly changing.
The Company's headquarters are in San Antonio, Texas, United States, and its registered office is in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. As such, the Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the laws of the State of Texas, the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of each of the United States and Canada. The Company manages its data centers and trading operations from Bermuda in order to simplify tax expectations.
13
With substantial assets in Canada, Sweden and Paraguay, the Company is subject to changes in political conditions and regulations within these markets. Changes, if any, in policies or shifts in political attitude could adversely affect the Company's operations or profitability. See "Energy Risks" above.
Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations and decisions with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on price controls, currency remittance, income and consumption taxes, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, electricity use and safety. Additionally, cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile, can fluctuate substantially and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control, including hacking, demand, inflation, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, and global or regional political or economic events.
Ongoing and future regulatory or tax changes may alter the nature of an investment in the Company or restrict the use of cryptocurrencies in a manner that adversely affects operations. Governments may curtail or outlaw the acquisition, use, or redemption of cryptocurrencies, or take regulatory action that increases operating costs or imposes additional licensing requirements. Such actions could also extend to restrictions on the acquisition, ownership, holding, selling, or trading of the Company's common shares. In an adverse scenario, these measures could force the Company to liquidate cryptocurrency inventory at unfavorable prices, reducing shareholder value.
For further discussion of the risks associated with respect to adverse tax decisions and regulatory developments, see the Risk Factors set forth in Item 1.A of our Annual Report, in particular “Item 1A- Risks Related to Certain Regulatory Compliance and Other Legal Matters” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors-Risks Related to Taxation” therein.
Tax Environment-Sweden
The Company's wholly owned Swedish subsidiaries Bikupa Datacenter AB ("Bikupa") and Bikupa Datacenter 2 AB ("Bikupa 2") have received a series of decision notices of assessment (the "decisions") from the Swedish Tax Agency (the "STA") concerning the application of value added tax ("VAT") and, in particular, the entities' entitlement to recover input VAT on equipment and other charges. The decisions reject recovery of input VAT for the periods assessed and require repayment of amounts previously refunded, together with tax supplements and interest. The Company appealed the initial Bikupa decision on February 9, 2023 and the initial Bikupa 2 decision on March 10, 2023, and has appealed subsequent decisions as they have been issued. For more information regarding the various dates of the decisions, please see Note 16-Commitments and Contingencies to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included as a part of this Quarterly Report.
During the each step of the appeals process, the Company has engaged an independent legal firm and an independent audit firm in Sweden with expertise in these matters to assist. Management, supported by its independent advisors, continues to believe that the decisions are not consistent with applicable law or with the technical characteristics of the Company's operations, and that under general principles governing the burden of proof it is for the STA to substantiate its position. The Company's position is supported by, among other things, European Union guidelines, a ruling of the Swedish Council for Advance Tax Rulings, an information technology forensic expert opinion and a legal opinion from a Swedish professor of VAT law.
The matters proceeded through the Administrative Court and, subsequently, the Court of Appeal, which ruled against the Company with respect to the earliest decisions. On July 20, 2026 the Company filed applications for leave to appeal to the Supreme Administrative Court. The Company's Swedish counsel has advised that the prospect of obtaining a favourable outcome before the Supreme Administrative Court is remote.
14
Notwithstanding management's continuing belief in the merits of its position, and the Company's intention to pursue all available avenues of appeal, the adverse judgments of the Court of Appeal and the related advice of the Company's Swedish counsel have caused management to conclude that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and that the amount of that liability can be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 the Company recorded a provision of SEK 822.0 million (approximately $84.7 million), translated at the June 30, 2026 closing rate of SEK 9.71 per USD$1.00. The non-cash charge is presented within operating expenses and the provision is classified as a current liability. In prior periods the Company had concluded that the amounts claimed were not probable and no provision had been recorded.
The provision covers all VAT periods of Bikupa and Bikupa 2 through June 30, 2026. It includes SEK 769.6 million in respect of periods for which the STA has issued a decision or suggested decision, being December 2020 to June 2025 for Bikupa and April 2021 to December 2025 for Bikupa 2, and SEK 52.4 million in respect of subsequent periods for which no decision has yet been issued on the basis that those periods arise from the same facts and the same position taken by the STA as the periods already determined.
Interest continues to accrue on assessed amounts until settlement, and accordingly the Company's ultimate exposure may exceed the amount of the provision. The Company is not able to estimate the amount of any such additional exposure at this time.
The Company's Swedish subsidiary Bikupa Real Estate AB has a related exposure of SEK 17.3 million (approximately $1.7 million), comprising SEK 14.9 million of decisions and suggested decisions issued by the STA in respect of periods from January 2024 to April 2026 and SEK 2.5 million of input VAT claimed for May and June 2026 for which no decision has been issued. The facts and the issue raised by the STA in respect of this entity differ from those in dispute for Bikupa and Bikupa 2, the entity was not party to the Court of Appeal proceedings. Management has concluded that a loss in respect of this matter is reasonably possible but not probable, and no provision has been recorded.
Following resolution of the appeals, the Company intends to evaluate claims against the STA and the Swedish State in respect of VAT withheld, interest and related direct and indirect costs, and is evaluating whether interim relief may be available in respect of amounts withheld pending a final determination. Any recovery arising from such claims may represent a change in provision; however no asset has been recognized and no amount has been offset against the provision as of the date hereof.
It is not yet known when these disputes will be finally resolved, and the process could extend well beyond one year. The HPC and ASIC compute industries are rapidly evolving, and there can be no assurance that changes in the laws or policies of Sweden will not further affect the Company's VAT position. The Company will reassess the provision at each reporting date for the outcome of the leave applications, the status of deferral requests, decisions issued in respect of periods not yet assessed, and any revised advice from its Swedish counsel. In parallel, the Company is exploring opportunities for redress through other means, including initiating a proceeding with the European Commission due to the Swedish administrative court systems refusal to refer unsettled questions of European Union law to the Court of Justice of the European Union.
In the spring budget of 2023, the Swedish Parliament abolished the reduced energy tax for data centers, effective as of July 1, 2023. As a result of this decision, the Company's cost of energy at its HIVE Sweden facilities has increased by approximately 0.30 SEK per kWh. Prior to the effective date of the abolishment of the energy tax reduction, HIVE's total cost of energy at the HIVE Sweden facilities was approximately 0.30 SEK ($0.03) per kWh. Revenues attributable to these facilities typically ranges from 0.80 to 1.00 SEK ($0.07 to $0.09) per kWh. As at June 30, 2026, the HIVE Sweden facilities represent approximately 5% of the Company's global hashrate services per day. We believe that this change is mitigated through the supplemental power pricing arrangement that was entered into in order to fix prices for portion of their electricity consumption at attractive prices. The Company has been exploring, and will continue to explore, strategies for minimizing the impact.
Tax Environment-Canada
Effective February 5, 2022, the Canadian government enacted tax measures to potentially restrict the ability of hashrate services companies to claim back the consumption taxes they incur on purchases of goods and services made in Canada and imports of goods and services into Canada. While still uncertain, these restrictions could impact on the Company's ability to claim back its consumption taxes (i.e. GST/HST) which apply at combined rates from 5% to 15% on the cost of goods and services, and thereby add to the Company's ongoing operating costs and the costs of its capital expenditures and imports into Canada.
Unrelated to the legislative changes outlined above, three of the Company's Canadian subsidiaries have been reassessed by CRA or RQ for consumption taxes and income taxes, and related penalties and interest. All such reassessments are being disputed by the respective subsidiaries and their representatives.
Additionally, the Company and some of its Canadian subsidiaries are currently under audit by the CRA and/or RQ also in relation to income tax and consumption taxes, again largely unrelated to the legislative changes outlined above. The Company and its subsidiaries are working towards favorable resolution of these audits but further adverse tax reassessments could result. If any such adverse reassessments are issued, the Company and its subsidiaries intend to vigorously dispute those reassessments.
The Company has recorded a provision during the year ended March 31, 2024 in the amount of $4.5 million receivable by its subsidiary 9376-9974 Quebec Inc., for our ability to claim back our consumption taxes. During the year ended March 31, 2025, an additional provision was recognized of $0.3 million and the Company recovered $0.8 million in relation to the provision of $4.5 million and reversed an additional $0.5 million of the same provision as a result of further examination of the sales tax provision amounts.
During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid $0.3 million towards the $0.3 million provisioned amount. The Company also received an assessment of $2.3 million for sales tax payable that is included in the provision as a result of a sales tax audit related to periods prior to the acquisition of 9376-9974 Quebec Inc. in 2021. During the year ended March 31, 2026 and prior periods, the Company received sales tax credits totaling $2.3 million that were applied against this assessment and accrued interest. During the period ended June 30, 2026, there were no additional provisions, recoveries, or assessments recorded in respect of these matters.
The Company and two of its subsidiaries have claimed and are awaiting repayment by the CRA and Revenue Quebec of significant consumption tax credits, most of which are being withheld pending resolution of ongoing audits:
1. 9376-9974 Quebec Inc. has filed for and claimed approximately C$8.7 million in consumption tax credits, which to date remain unpaid; and
2. Hive Atlantic Datacentres Ltd. has filed for and claimed approximately C$40.9 million in consumption tax credits, which to date remain unpaid.
15
The Company continues to work with its representatives to achieve a successful resolution of the various tax audits and reassessments, particularly for the following:
The Company and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including 9376-9974 Québec Inc., Hive Digital Data Ltd. (incorporated in Bermuda), and Hive Atlantic Datacentres Ltd. ("Hive Atlantic"), are engaged in ongoing disputes with the CRA, RQ and other provincial tax authorities. Management, together with its external tax and legal advisors, continues to pursue resolution of these matters through the applicable objection, appeal, and court processes. The significant matters are as follows:
9376-9974 Québec Inc. received Notices of Assessment from RQ denying capital cost allowance ("CCA") claimed on certain assets for its taxation years ended December 31, 2021 through 2024. The total amount assessed, including interest and penalties, is C$5.4 million. 9376-9974 Québec Inc. is disputing this assessment and intends to file a notice of objection.
The Company is disputing disallowed input tax credits of C$0.3 million for reporting periods from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2021. Subsequent to the period covered by this Report, on July 27, 2006, the Company also received a Notice of Reassessment from the CRA, issued July 27, 2026, in the amount of C$4 million, inclusive of interest and penalties, asserting that GST/HST should apply to treasury and currency management services supplied by the Company to Hive Digital Data Ltd. for the period from July 1, 2021 to March 31, 2023, on the basis that Hive Digital Data Ltd. has a permanent establishment in Canada. The Company is disputing this reassessment.
Hive Atlantic is disputing a GST/HST reassessment of C$4.2 million in respect of reporting periods from May 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, and has filed a Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada. Hive Atlantic also received a proposal letter from the CRA quantifying proposed GST/HST adjustments of C$50.5 million, exclusive of interest and penalties, for the period from January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2025, asserting that GST/HST should apply to sales of hashpower by Hive Atlantic to Hive Digital Data Ltd., again on the basis of an alleged permanent establishment in Canada. No Notice of Assessment has been issued in respect of this proposed adjustment as of the date of this report. Hive Atlantic is disputing both matters.
Management has concluded that an unfavourable outcome in respect of these matters is reasonably possible but not probable. Accordingly, no provision has been recorded in these financial statements. The Company and its subsidiaries will continue to monitor developments and will record a provision if and when an outflow of resources becomes probable and reliably estimable. Further, in the event that we are unable to successfully dispute these assessments, we believe any amounts ultimately owed will be offset by the credits described above.
For further discussion of the risks associated with a potential adverse outcome with respect to tax disputes in Canada, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors-Risks Related to Taxation” in our Annual Report.
October 10, 2025 Crypto Crash
On October 10, 2025, the price of Bitcoin fell to approximately $104,582 (the "October 10 Event") from a high of $122,509 earlier that day, and an all-time high of $126,198 on October 6, 2025. Since its inception, Bitcoin's price has been subject to considerable volatility. On the one hand, as acceptance and adoption of Bitcoin increase, some institutional and retail investors have sought to increase their exposure to Bitcoin through leveraged positions. On October 10, 2025, approximately $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated, which contributed to the price decline.
This phenomenon is not unique to Bitcoin and has been observed in traditional financial markets; for instance, automated computer-based trading is often cited as a contributing factor to the stock market crash of October 19, 1987. Events such as the October 10 Event tend to erode user and investor confidence and negatively affect the Company's operations and outlook. The price of Bitcoin has not recovered from the high of $126,198 on October 6, 2025, and had a closing price of approximately $62,814 on July 31, 2026. There can be no guarantees that similar events will not occur in the future. In the event one or such events occurs, the Company may experience a material adverse change.
Expansion of HPC Business
The Company continues to develop its HPC business. The ongoing expansion of existing and planned facilities is subject to various factors, and may be delayed or adversely affected by such factors beyond the Company's control, including delays in the delivery or installation of equipment by suppliers, difficulties in integrating new equipment into existing infrastructure, shortages in materials or labor, defects in design or construction, diversion of management resources, insufficient funding, or other resource constraints. Actual costs for development may exceed the Company's planned budget. Delays, cost overruns, changes in market circumstances and other factors may result in different outcomes than those intended. In addition, to remain competitive, the Company will need to continue to invest in hardware and equipment at its facilities required for maintaining the Company's HPC activities. Should competitors introduce new services/software embodying new technologies, the Company's hardware and equipment and its underlying technology may become obsolete and require substantial capital to replace such equipment. There can be no assurance that HPC hardware will be readily available when the need is identified.
The growth of our HPC business may be affected by increasing environmental concerns related to noise pollution and water consumption. Communities where data centers are planned are demanding more oversight, leading to stricter permitting processes. Opposition to the siting of data centers could result in projects being denied, delayed, or forced to comply with costly new regulations. The future of data center site location is evolving.
We believe that the demand for HPC and AI services will continue to increase, and that we will be able to attract and retain new customers. Customer acquisition and retention will depend on our ability to meet HPC and AI compute demands in a cost-competitive manner. Factors that could affect our competitiveness include the location and efficiency of our facilities, our pricing relative to competitors, and our ability to provide a high-uptime supply of compute. Further, if AI and other HPC-intensive use cases are not broadly adopted, or if new use cases do not emerge, our market opportunity may be smaller than we expect.

HIVE PARAGUAY FACILITIES
The Company announced on July 22, 2024 that it planned to develop its HIVE Valenzuela Facility. The Company has since entered into: (i) an engineering and construction agreement executed on September 26, 2024 between W3X S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Rieder & CIA S.A.C.I., a company organized pursuant to the laws of Paraguay, relating to high voltage infrastructure within the local utility's substation, bringing down the power to the HIVE Valenzuela Facility for which the contract value is approximately $3.8 million; and (ii) a purchase order from a hardware supplier for a total of 160 MVA of substation components including transformers, miscellaneous electronic parts and components at an aggregate cost of $6.0 million. Construction of the Valenzuela facility was completed in November 2025.
On January 24, 2025 the Company entered into a binding letter of intent with Bitfarms Ltd. to acquire the Yguazú Facility, a 200 MW hydro-powered data center facility in Paraguay and the acquisition closed on March 17, 2025. Upon competition of the acquisition, the Company's operational capacity in Paraguay totaled 300 MW. We believe that the Company's expansion in Paraguay will solidify the Company's leadership as one of Latin America's largest hashrate compute providers.
The acquisition was valued at $56 million and included ownership of a 240 MVA substation with 200 MW of capacity as well as all associated land and facilities.
Key terms of the deal included:
• $25 million payable at closing, which occurred on March 17, 2025.
• $31 million payable in equal installments over six months following closing.
In addition to this, HIVE assumed $19 million of PPA deposits to ANDE, the Paraguayan utility company, and assumed remaining construction completion costs. As of March 31, 2026, the full PPA deposit was paid to ANDE.
On April 6, 2025, the Company announced the energization and commencement of operations at the HIVE Yguazú Facility. This site represents a key component of the Company's multi-phase infrastructure expansion strategy.
Mining capacity in Paraguay came online in three distinct phases:
• Phase 1 (HIVE Yguazú Facility - Air-Cooled):
Phase 1 included the deployment of 100 MW of air-cooled ASIC equipment and was completed in June, 2025. Phase 1 contributed, bringing approximately 5 EH/s to the Company's total Bitcoin mining capacity the Company's total installed capacity to 11.5 EH/s, at an average efficiency of approximately 20 Joules per TeraHash (J/TH).
• Phase 2 (HIVE Yguazú Facility - Hydro-Cooled):
Phase 2 added an additional 100 MW of capacity at the HIVE Yguazú Facility. The Company deployed Bitmain Hydro AntSpace containers equipped with Bitmain S21+ Hydro ASIC equipment. Phase 2 was completed in early September, 2025 and delivered an incremental 6.5 EH/s of hashrate. Upon the completion of Phase 2, the Company's total installed capacity reached approximately 18 EH/s, with a projected fleet efficiency of approximately 18.5 J/TH.
• Phase 3 (HIVE Valenzuela Facility - Hydro-Cooled):
The third and final phase involved the addition of 100 MW of hydro-cooled capacity at the Company's Valenzuela Facility, utilizing the same Bitmain Hydro AntSpace and Bitmain S21+ Hydro miner configuration as Phase 2. Phase 3 was completed on November 10, 2025. Upon completion, Phase 3 contributed an additional 6.5 EH/s of hashrate, bringing the Company's total installed hashrate capacity to approximately 24.5 EH/s. Fleet-wide energy efficiency is expected to improve further to approximately 17.5 J/TH.
On October 20, 2025, the Company announced a 100 MW expansion of its infrastructure at its Yguazú site in Paraguay, targeted for calendar year 2026. This expansion will increase the Company's total renewable capacity in Paraguay to 400 MW.

RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Revenue:
• Revenue from digital currency mining was $72.1 million for the current period compared to $40.8 million in the prior comparative period. The Company received 1,004 Bitcoin compared to 406 Bitcoin in the comparative prior period. The main reason for the increase was the higher amount of Bitcoin rewards as a result of the increase in the Company's global hashrate, partially offset by the decrease in the average Bitcoin price to $71,682 from $98,373 in the comparative prior period, and by the increase in network difficulty to an average of 134.7 trillion during the current period compared to 122.6 trillion in the comparative period.
• Revenue from high performance computing hosting was $7.1 million for the current period compared to $4.8 million in the prior period. The main reason for the increase was that the Company commenced revenue recognition from a new two-year contract announced February 13, 2026, that provides for gross monthly recurring revenue of $1.25 million.
Cost of sales:
• Operating and maintenance costs for digital currency mining were $51.0 million for the current period compared to $26.8 million in the prior period. These costs consisted of fees paid to suppliers (including local electricity providers), as well as service providers to operate our data centers. These costs include daily monitoring and maintenance and all other costs directly related to the maintenance and operation of the data center equipment. The main reason for the increase was an increase in the Company's global hashrate resulting in an increase in electricity costs during the period totaling $45.9 million compared to $23.1 million in the comparative period.
21
• Operating and maintenance costs for high performance computing hosting were $2.9 million for the current period compared to $2.1 million in the prior period. These costs consisted of fees paid to suppliers, service providers to operate our data centers and all other costs directly related to the maintenance and operation of the data center equipment. The increase is attributable to the Company's expanded infrastructure, including ongoing operations at Tier-III facilities in Montreal and Stockholm.
• High performance computing service fees are fees from GPU marketplace aggregators where these GPUs are listed and will vary based on the market demand in connection with the revenue from high performance computing hosting. The service fees were $1.1 million for the current period compared to $0.8 million for the prior period.
• Depreciation was $53.7 million for the current period compared to $22 million in the prior period. The increase was mainly attributable to additions as the Company expanded its fleet of ASIC machines in Paraguay in fiscal 2026.
Gross operating margin and gross loss:
• The gross operating margin from digital currency mining was $21.1 million in the current period compared to $14.0 million in the prior period. Gross operating margin is directly impacted by digital currency prices and the network difficulty level, which in turn as impacts revenue from mining operations. The increase in the gross margin is mainly due to the results of the above-mentioned items under revenue and cost of sales.
• The gross operating margin from high-performance computing hosting was $3.1 million in the current period compared to $1.9 million in the prior period. The increase in the gross margin is mainly due to the results of the items noted above under revenue and cost of sales.
• The gross loss was $29.5 million in the current period compared to gross loss of $6.2 million in the comparative prior period. The increase in the gross loss is mainly due to the results of the above noted items under revenue and cost of sales.
Revaluation of digital currencies:
• The Company recognized an unrealized loss on revaluing its digital currencies of $1.6 million compared to an unrealized gain of $5.9 million in the prior comparative period as a result of the movement in the Bitcoin price over the period and the size of the Company's Bitcoin holdings. The Company mainly holds Bitcoin as a digital currency. During the prior period ended, the price of Bitcoin increased from an average price of $85,138 in March 2025 to $105,737 in June 2025 whereas during the current period ended the price of Bitcoin decreased from an average price of $69,447 in March 2026 to $63,503 in June 2026.
• In addition, the Company disposed of digital currencies with total gross proceeds of $70.8 million during the current period. Of this amount, $67.6 million represented cash proceeds, while the remaining $3.2 million (representing 46 Bitcoin) was used as non-cash consideration for deposits on mining equipment. The Company recognized a realized gain of $0.8 million on these disposals. In the prior comparative period, the Company disposed of digital currencies with a total gross value of $207.1 million during the comparative period. Of this amount, $66.4 million represented cash proceeds, while the remaining $140.7 million (representing 1,565 BTC) was used as non-cash consideration for equipment deposits with Bitmain. The Company recognized a realized gain of $17.3 million on the gross disposal amount of $207.1 million.
Other items:
• General and administrative expenses were $9.0 million in the current period compared to $5.8 million in the prior period. Professional, advisory and consulting expenses increased by $0.3 million; office, administration and regulatory increased by $3.5 million, primarily due to $3.0 million of straight-line lease expense associated with the Merritt facility, which is being recognized in general and administrative expenses as the operations at the underlying data center are not yet in commercial operation; marketing increased by $0.1 million; and management fees, salaries, and wages decreased by $0.6 million.
22
• Foreign exchange loss was $2.9 million in the current period compared to a gain of $2.9 million in the prior period due to the movement in exchange rates. The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions and is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
• Share based compensation expense was $7.1 million in relation to the options and restricted share units vested in the period compared to $5.8 million in the prior comparative period. The increase is mainly due to RSU grants issued during the current period.
• Unrealized gain on investments was $1.3 million compared to an unrealized gain of $8.2 million in the prior period. The Company holds several investments some of which are traded in the active markets which fluctuate from time to time in value.
• Change in fair value of derivatives was a loss of $7.1 million compared to a gain of $16.4 million in the prior period, comprised of three distinct derivative components as follows:
The Company transferred Bitcoin as a deposit on equipment and received options to buy back the Bitcoin. These options were measured at fair value on the issuance dates. The derivative component is re-valued each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and as a result the Company recognized a loss of $0.7 million on these Bitcoin options, as opposed to a gain of $16.6 million in the prior comparative period.
The Company's warrant liability derivative is similarly re-valued each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, resulting in a loss of $1.7 million on the warrant liability, as opposed to loss of $0.2 million in the prior comparative period.
The Company entered into capped call transactions in connection with the April and June 2026 convertible note offerings. The capped call transactions are treated as a derivative asset measured at fair value. The capped call is re-valued each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and as a result the Company recognized a loss of $4.6 million on the capped call component.
• Non cash provision for regulatory liabilities was $84.7 million in connection with the Company’s ongoing dispute with the STA against the Company's Bikupa subsidiaries, following adverse Court of Appeal judgments that led management to conclude a loss is now probable. There was no comparable charge in the prior period. The provision covers all VAT periods through June 30, 2026, and comprises disputed input VAT of $76.6 million, tax supplements of $1.5 million and interest of $6.6 million.
• Provision on sales tax receivable was $nil compared to $1.4 million the prior period. During the prior comparative period, the Company received sales tax credits totalling $1.4 million connected to sales tax filing periods between July 2024 to March 2025.
• Loss on equipment sales was $1.0 million compared to a gain of $1.3 million in the prior period. The Company disposes of older-generation ASIC mining equipment and legacy GPU cards that are nearly or fully depreciated as opportunities arise to upgrade its data center equipment.
• Other income was $0.7 million in the current period compared to $0.3 million in the prior period.
• Finance expense was $1.3 million in the current period compared to $0.3 million in the prior period. This includes interest for finance lease, loans payable, mortgage payable and the term loan. The increase was mainly a result of the interest on mortgage payable by $0.2 million in connection with the real property acquisitions in Ontario, Canada in calendar 2026, and $0.7 million for the convertible notes issued in April and June 2026.
• Tax expense was $1.6 million in the current period compared to an expense of $0.6 million in the prior period. The Company incurs tax expense as result of taxable income in its operations in Sweden, Paraguay and Canada after the use of its tax attributes within those jurisdictions.

Cash and cash equivalents
• Cash and cash equivalents as at June 30, 2026, was $208 million, an increase of $184.9 million from $23.1 million at March 31, 2026. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below for details on changes in cash.
Amounts receivable and prepaids
• Amounts receivable and prepaids increased by $3.3 million during the current period as a result of an increase in trade accounts receivable due to timing of collections.
Investments
• The Company holds a number of investments some of which are traded in active markets. As a result, these investments fluctuate in value from time to time. Investments increased by $1.1 million during the current period to $10.9 million, mainly due to an unrealized mark to market gain of $1.3 million, partially offset by foreign exchange of $0.2 million. In the current period, the Company did not purchase or dispose of any investment holdings.
Digital currencies
• Digital currencies at June 30, 2026 mainly consisted of 190 Bitcoin (March 31, 2026 - 150 Bitcoin). The increase of $0.4 million was mainly due to the increase in Bitcoin held at period end and a lower Bitcoin price of $58,237 compared to Bitcoin price of $70,747 at March 31, 2026.
Property, plant and equipment
• Property, plant and equipment decreased by $27.3 million during the current period, primarily due to depreciation of $52.2 million, partially offset by additions of $27.0 million comprised of land of $19.1 million, equipment of $4.1 million and buildings and leasehold improvements of $3.8 million. The remainder of the change is due to foreign exchange and the disposal of equipment.
Long term receivable
• Long term receivable decreased by $0.1 million during the current period and consists of value added tax receivables in Sweden that are considered to be long term in connection with timing of the receipt of these input taxes.
24
Derivative asset
• The Company carries derivative assets consisting of derivative from options to repurchase Bitcoin from deposits on equipment paid via Bitcoin and derivative from capped call transactions in connection with the April and June 2026 convertible notes.
The Company entered into certain equipment purchase agreements to provide the Company with the right to pay for the equipment deposit using Bitcoin and if the Company chose to do so it would receive the right to repurchase the Bitcoin in the future for a fixed price. During the current period, the Company transferred 46 Bitcoin as deposits on equipment and received options to buy back the Bitcoin, resulting in additions to the derivative asset of $0.2 million. The options were initially measured at fair value on various issuance dates during the current period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were exercised during the current period. The options are re-valued each reporting period. The derivative asset decreased by $0.7 million during the current period to $0.1 million at June 30, 2026 (March 31, 2026 - $0.6 million).
The Company entered into capped call transactions in connection with the April and June 2026 convertible note offerings. The Company paid a total of $35.5 million towards capped call transactions which are treated as a derivative asset measured at fair value. The capped calls are re-valued each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and as a result the Company recognized a loss of $4.6 million on the capped call component resulting in a period ended balance of $30.9 million.
Deposits
• Deposits mainly consist of deposits with energy suppliers and equipment deposits which increased by $29.8 million during the current period. The increase is mainly due to an increase in equipment deposits in connection with equipment advances towards the 2,304 GB200 GPUs equipment procurement announced June 18, 2026.
Right of use assets
• Right of use assets increased by $63.3 million during the current period, mainly due to a new operating lease for a data centre located in British Columbia, Canada. The lease has a 10 year term and was recognized as an operating lease on commencement, increasing right of use assets by $69.3 million.
• The increase was partially offset by amortization of $2.2 million on operating leases and $1.5 million on finance leases, and foreign exchange.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
• Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $91.4 million during the current period due to the normal course of operations, due to the timing of billings and payments and mainly due to provision for STA VAT assessments. The increase was partly a result of the Company having $3.7 million payable to ANDE for May 2026 energy consumption in Paraguay for its 100 MW, and $4.5 million payable towards electrical grid interconnection infrastructure for a planned data center development which were paid as of the date of this report. The significant addition is the $84.7 million non-cash provision in connection with the Company’s ongoing dispute with the STA against the Company's Bikupa subsidiaries, following adverse Court of Appeal judgments that led management to conclude a loss is now probable. The provision covers all VAT periods through June 30, 2026, and comprises disputed input VAT of $76.6 million, tax supplements of $1.5 million and interest of $6.6 million.
Term loan
• As part of the Atlantic acquisition the Company acquired a $11.0 million term loan ("Atlantic Term Loans"). The Atlantic Term Loans were made up of two discrete balances; Term Loan 1 and Term Loan 2; bearing interest at 3.33% per annum and had a maturity date of June 30, 2024. The Company renewed Term Loan 1 over a 1-year term bearing interest at 5.31% with a balance remaining of C$4.2 million, and Term Loan 2 was renewed at 5.15% over a 2 year term with a balance remaining of C$2.6 million. On June 30, 2025, the Company renewed Term Loan 1 over a 1-year term at an interest rate of 4.39% with a balance remaining of C$2.8 million. On June 30, 2026, the Company renewed Term Loan 1 and Loan 2 over a 1-year term at an interest rate of 4.56% with a combined balance remaining of C$2.3 million. The principal and interest payment is the same as noted above.
25
• The Atlantic Term Loans decreased by $0.4 million as a result of the repayment of principal and interest amounts during the current period.
• On April 21, 2025, the Company received a covenant amendment from its lender in relation to the Atlantic Term Loans maintained by HIVE Atlantic Datacentres Ltd. The lender formally withdrew the minimum working capital ratio of 1.2 to 1 and the maximum long-term debt to tangible net worth ratio of 2 to 1, leaving the only remaining covenant of minimum debt service coverage ratio of EBITDA of 1.5 to 1. As at June 30, 2026, HIVE Atlantic Datacentres Ltd. was in compliance with the amended required debt service coverage ratio covenant.
Warrant liability
• As part of the change in the functional currency of HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar during the year ended March 31, 2025, all of the Company's issued and outstanding warrants were reclassified from equity to liability. The warrants have strike prices denominated in Canadian dollars and are not indexed to the Company's stock because of the change in functional currency. The warrant is re-valued each reporting period. As at June 30, 2026, the warrant liability was re-valued at $2.2 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The increase was $1.7 million and the key input change in the pricing model was stock price. There were 3,004,375 warrants outstanding at both June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, with a weighted average exercise price of C$5.96.
Current income tax liability
• The Company's current income tax liability decreased by $3.9 million during the current period to $7.1 million at June 30, 2026, reflecting income tax payments made during the current period net of current tax expense on taxable income in its operations in Sweden, Paraguay and Canada.
Convertible loan
During the current period, the Company issued convertible notes with an aggregate face value of $245 million, comprised of $115 million issued in April 2026 and $130 million issued in June 2026. The liability components recognized on issuance were $109.8 million and $124.9 million, respectively, and accretion and interest of $0.2 million was recognized during the current period. As at June 30, 2026, the convertible loan balance was $234.9 million, all of which is classified as non-current.
Loans payable
• The Company incurred a loan as part of the sale of the net assets of Boden Technologies AB. The loan facility bears interest at the Swedish government borrowing rate plus 1% per annum and has a maturity date of December 31, 2035. The balance decreased by less than $0.1 million during the current period, as foreign exchange of $0.2 million was largely offset by interest accrued of $0.2 million. No principal was repaid during the current period.
Lease liability
• Lease liabilities increased by $64.9 million during the current period, mainly due to the recognition of the Bell Merritt British Columbia data centre operating lease of $66.3 million and interest accretion of $2.8 million, partially offset by lease payments of $4.1 million and foreign exchange and other movements.
Mortgage payable
• On January 20, 2026, the Company acquired real property located in Ontario and the Company issued a vendor takeback mortgage ("Mortgage 1") to the seller. The mortgage has a principal of $14.7 million (C$20 million), bears interest at 6.00% annually and interest payments are due on a quarterly basis. The mortgage has a term of two years and the full amount of the principal is due at maturity.
26
• On May 15, 2026 the Company acquired real property located in Ontario and the Company issued a vendor takeback mortgage ("Mortgage 2") to the seller. The mortgage has a principal of $4.4 million (C$6 million), bears interest at 6.00% annually and interest payments are due on a quarterly basis. The mortgage has a term of three years and the full amount of the principal is due at maturity.
• Total mortgage payable increased by $4.0 million during the current period mainly as a result of the additional mortgage partially net of repayments of $0.2 million in interest and foreign exchange.
Deferred tax liability
• The Company's deferred tax liability decreased by $0.3 million during the current period to a nominal amount at June 30, 2026 as a result of the changes in the tax attributes and balances within the jurisdictions for the operational subsidiaries in which they operate.
RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The Company has presented certain non-GAAP measures in this report. Specifically, the Company has presented "Gross Operating Margin," "Gross Mining Margin," "Gross Compute Margin," "EBITDA," and "Adjusted EBITDA" (all as further described below). HIVE's Board of Directors and management use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP metrics to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company, and to better understand the Company's core operating results across fiscal reporting periods. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, while not a substitute for GAAP measures, provide investors with (i) an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company and (ii) greater transparency of the key performance metrics used by management with respect to operational and financial decision making.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are provided as supplemental information to the Company's performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for US GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under US GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers. Because of the non-standardized nature of non-GAAP financial measures, HIVE's presentation herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Gross Operating Margin
The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP, it is helpful to management, the board and investors to use the gross operating margin to evaluate the Company's performance and its ability to generate cash flows and service debt. The gross operating margin is defined as total revenue less direct cash costs, being operating and maintenance costs and high-performance computing service fees.
The following table provides illustration of the calculation of the gross operating margin for the last five quarters:

Gross Mining Margin
The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP, it is helpful to management, the board and investors to use the gross mining margin to evaluate the Company's performance and its ability to generate cash flows and service debt. The gross mining margin is defined as revenue from digital currency mining less direct cash costs, being operating and maintenance costs related to these activities.
27
Gross mining margin is directly impacted by Bitcoin price and Bitcoin network Difficulty (which are both publicly available statistics). The Difficulty is an integer value that is proportional to the number of hashes required to solve a block. Revenue is directly proportional to Bitcoin price, and inversely proportional to Difficulty.

EBITDA & Adjusted EBITDA
The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a metric that is useful to management, the board and investors for assessing its operating performance on a cash basis before the impact of non-cash items and acquisition related activities. EBITDA is net income or loss from operations, as reported in profit and loss, before finance income and expense, tax and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for by removing other non-cash items, including share-based compensation, finance expense, depreciation and one-time transactions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity include our cash and cash equivalents, debt facilities, Bitcoin on our balance sheet, equity sales, and the cash flows generated from operations. We are exploring additional financing structures, including the use of project-level financing, to finance our development initiatives, including infrastructure build outs. The Company has been reliant on external financing to take advantage of growth opportunities while preserving its cryptocurrency assets. The Company's success is dependent on the Company's ability to efficiently mine and liquidate digital currencies and its profitability in its HPC business revenue stream.
As at June 30, 2026, the Company had working capital of $137.0 million (March 31, 2026 - working capital balance of $5.4 million).
• The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands):
For the three month period ended June 30,
2026 2025
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 4,057 10,228
Net cash used in investing activities (48,118 ) (61,956 )
Net cash provided by financing activities 228,562 52,852

Cash
Beginning of the period 23,113 23,375
End of the period $ 208,039 24,601
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.1 million in the current period compared to $10.2 million in the prior comparative period, a decrease of $6.1 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in operating and maintenance costs reflecting mainly the operations in Paraguay relative to the comparative period following completion of its expansion phases and foreign exchange.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $48.1 million in the current period compared to $62.0 million in the prior comparative period, a decrease of $13.9 million. This decrease was primarily due to the completion of the Company's 300MW expansion in Paraguay during fiscal 2026, with investing activity in the current period focused on expanding the Company's high-performance computing business, including land acquisitions and equipment deposits.
29
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $228.6 million in the current period compared to $52.9 million in the prior comparative period, an increase of $175.7 million. The increase was primarily driven by net proceeds of $199.2 million from the issuance of the April and June 2026 exchangeable senior notes, with no comparable issuance in the prior period. This was partially offset by lower net proceeds from share offerings of $30.0 million in the current period compared to $68.0 million in the prior period, as well as the absence of the $15.5 million acquisition loan repayment that occurred in the prior period.
As at June 30, 2026, the contractual maturities of financial and other liabilities, including estimated interest payments, are as follows:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. While the Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 of the Company's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2026, we believe that the following accounting policies and estimates are most critical to understanding and evaluating this management's discussion and analysis:
Revenue from digital currency mining
We participate in digital asset mining pools and provide computing power and transaction verification services to the mining pool in exchange for non-cash consideration in the form of Bitcoin. We measure the non-cash consideration received at the fair market value of the Bitcoin received. Management estimates fair value on a daily basis, as the quantity of Bitcoin received multiplied by the price quoted on the date and time it was received in the Company's wallet.
30
Stock-based compensation
We measure equity-settled share-based payments, including equity awards such as stock options, restricted stock units and broker warrants to certain of its employees, directors, officers, and consultants based on their fair value at the grant date and recognize compensation expense on a graded basis over the vesting period. The amount recognized as an expense is net of estimated forfeitures, such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that ultimately vest. We estimate forfeitures based on historical forfeiture trends. If actual forfeiture rates are not consistent with our estimates, we may be required to increase or decrease compensation expenses in future periods
Impairment of long-lived assets
We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. This process includes (i) grouping and testing at the lowest level for which identifiable independent cash flows are available ("Asset Group") (ii) preparing a projected undiscounted cash flow analysis for the respective asset or Asset Group and (iii) if the asset or Asset Group is not recoverable, measuring impairment loss as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value, if any. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the period ended June 30, 2026, the Company issued 1,273,625 common shares under the RSU Plan upon the exercise of restricted share units.
Subsequent to the period ended June 30, 2026, the Company issued 2,002,330 November 2025 ATM Shares pursuant to the November 2025 ATM Equity Program for gross proceeds of $6.3 million. The November 2025 ATM shares were sold at prevailing market prices for an average price per November 2025 ATM Share of $3.13 (C$4.41). Pursuant to the November 2025 Equity Distribution Agreement, a cash commission of $0.2 million on the aggregate gross proceeds raised was paid to the Agents in connection with its services under the November 2025 Equity Distribution Agreement.
On July 17, 2026 the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Buzz Beta Cloud Inc., entered into a binding purchase agreement for the acquisition of equipment and related services totalling $186.9 million. Under the terms of the agreement a 10% non-refundable deposit was required to secure the order, and on July 24, 2026, the Company paid the required deposit of approximately $18.7 million. A further 15% is payable upon notification that the OEM has received the required components, with the remaining 75% due prior to shipment. The Company intends to fund the remaining balance from existing cash resources and available financing sources.
