NEW YORK, Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IREN (NASDAQ: IREN) today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and provided an update on its AI Cloud business and growth plans.

“This quarter Horizon 1 went into service for Microsoft with NVIDIA Exemplar status, AI Cloud revenue nearly tripled to $200 million, and operating ARR doubled to a billion,” said Daniel Roberts, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of IREN. “The more than $4 billion of contracted ARR is funded and now targeted for January, after a customer-requested design change and supplier timing moved it from year-end; it may extend to the end of February. Since quarter-end we have signed a five-year contract at about $22 million per megawatt with 90% of the GPU capex prepaid by the customer, and a short-term contract at $40 million per megawatt. We own the land, the power and the data centers under all of it, which gives us more ways to fund growth and lets us set its pace.”

Assumptions and Notes

1. Total AI Cloud Revenue comprises AI Cloud Services Revenue of $135m and AI Cloud Lease Revenue of $65m (prior quarter: $71m and nil, respectively), per our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
2. Adjusted EBITDA and Total segment gross profit are non-GAAP financial measures. AI Cloud segment gross margin is AI Cloud segment gross profit (Total AI Cloud revenue less AI Cloud cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization and before site-level costs) divided by Total AI Cloud revenue. Refer to the reconciliations at the end of this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
3. Revenue backlog includes remaining performance obligations plus remaining lease arrangements plus other amounts we estimate may be recognized as revenue in future periods under committed customer contracts, in each case, subject to the satisfaction of delivery and availability of service requirements. Investment-grade share is based on the credit ratings of counterparties or their guarantors as of September 30, 2026.
4. Annualized-run-rate revenue (“ARR”) is calculated as GPU/hour pricing for commissioned GPUs under contract as of the relevant date multiplied by 8,760 hours per year and includes annualized revenue for storage and ancillaries. More than $4 billion of ARR is targeted to be operational by January 31, 2027, and may extend to the end of February 2027, based on internal company assumptions regarding utilization and pricing, with revenue expected to ramp upon, and being subject to, commissioning, testing and customer acceptance in the months following each data center’s delivery. ARR is not derived from or an adjustment to GAAP revenue, and excludes GAAP recognition and measurement effects. ARR is an operating metric, not a U.S. GAAP measure, and differs from, and is not a substitute for, GAAP revenue; recognized revenue may be materially lower.
5. Cash and committed GPU financing and prepayments comprises cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, undrawn committed GPU financing facilities and contracted customer prepayments not yet received, as of September 30, 2026. “Fully funded” means these sources cover the remaining capex from September 30, 2026, including data centers and GPUs, for the 0.3GW (IT) program that supports the more than $4 billion ARR target, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to funding under committed financing facilities, including conditions to the release of escrowed proceeds and applicable availability periods.
6. Estimated average annual revenue per MW (IT) for 3- and 5-year contracts signed during Q1 FY27 and Q4 FY26 based on internal assumptions on power consumption for each contracted deployment, weighted by ARR.
7. Reflects contracts signed after Q1 FY27. Revenue per IT-MW is estimated annual revenue per MW (IT). Customer prepayment coverage reflects customer prepayments as a proportion of associated estimated GPU capex for the five-year contract. Customer prepayments represent amounts contractually payable by customers in advance of service delivery, expressed as a percentage of the estimated capital expenditure attributable to the associated deployments. Prepayment terms vary by contract and there can be no assurance that future contracts will include prepayments or similar terms. GPU capex excludes provincial sales tax and goods and services tax. H100 pricing increase is relative to pricing under the prior H100 contract at Prince George.
8. Includes land secured in freehold and under option, as of October 31, 2026.
9. >35GW development pipeline represents the potential gross power capacity, as of November 5, 2026, of projects at various stages of development prior to execution of grid connection agreements, letters of agreement or equivalents. These projects are speculative, and we do not currently expect a significant portion of them to result in secured power. There can be no assurance that any project will proceed or that the indicated capacity will ultimately be secured or developed.
10. Data center assets comprise buildings, construction in progress and land, net of depreciation, as of September 30, 2026.
11. Remaining capex is from September 30, 2026 and includes data centers and GPUs.
12. Future capacity targets include further capacity across the platform’s secured power and development pipeline, including the 0.8GW of data center capacity by the end of calendar 2027, which may require additional capex in FY27.

Any forward-looking statement that we make in this press release speaks only as of the date of such statement. Except as required by law, we disclaim any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The guidance in this press release is only effective as of November 5, 2026 and will not be updated or affirmed unless and until the Company publicly announces updated or affirmed guidance.

Special Note Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

This press release refers to certain financial measures not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Total segment gross profit, Net debt and Cash operating expense. These supplemental measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, the most directly comparable GAAP measures. They may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Definitions of these measures and management uses and limitations are set out below. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are presented at the end of this press release.
Management uses these supplemental measures to evaluate operating performance, plan spending and assess financing. They help investors compare periods and understand the measures management uses. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. Depreciation, stock-based compensation and other excluded items can be significant and recurring.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), excluding income tax (expense) benefit, finance expense, interest income, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, foreign exchange gain (loss), impairment of assets, certain other non-recurring income, gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, unrealized fair value gain (loss) on financial instruments, debt conversion inducement expense, gain (loss) on partial extinguishment of financial liabilities, increase (decrease) in fair value of assets held for sale and certain other expense items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Total segment gross profit

Total segment gross profit is the sum of AI Cloud and Bitcoin Mining segment revenue less each segment’s cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, consistent with Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The aggregate is a non-GAAP measure outside the segment footnote. It helps assess segment contribution before depreciation and amortization, corporate and other expenses.

Net debt
Net debt is current and non-current debt at GAAP carrying value, less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and less current and non-current restricted cash. It excludes operating lease liabilities. It helps assess borrowings net of cash balances. Restricted cash includes amounts held in escrow accounts under our debt financing and letter of credit arrangements and remains subject to contractual limits on withdrawal or use.

Cash operating expense
Cash operating expense is GAAP selling, general and administrative expense and GAAP research and development expense, less stock-based compensation. It helps assess SG&A and R&D before stock-based compensation and is not a measure of actual cash payments. Forward-looking Cash operating expense uses the same definition.

Presentation of Financial Information

Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company changed its rounding convention from presenting amounts rounded to the nearest thousand dollars to the nearest million dollars (unless otherwise noted). As a result, certain amounts may differ from previously reported amounts solely due to rounding, and totals may not equal the sum of individual amounts.

Non-GAAP Metric Reconciliation - Adjusted EBITDA

Non-GAAP Metric Reconciliation – Total Segment Gross Profit

Non-GAAP Metric Reconciliation – Net Debt

Non-GAAP Metric Reconciliation – Operating cash expense

The expected increase in Cash operating expense for Q2 FY27 excludes stock-based compensation. A reconciliation to the expected increase in GAAP SG&A and GAAP R&D is not available without unreasonable efforts because the amount of stock-based compensation in the forecast period cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty. This expense depends on the timing and size of future equity awards, our share price when they are granted, forfeitures and whether performance-based vesting conditions are met, and could be material. Accordingly, the change in GAAP SG&A and GAAP R&D could differ materially from the change in Cash operating expense.
