HIVE Digital Technologies Q3 2025 Earnings Call Transcript

Presentation

[Nathan Fast, Director of Marketing and Branding at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Hello, everyone. Welcome to today's webcast on Hyve Digital Technologies Financial Results for the Quarter Ended 12/31/2024. My name is Nathan Fast. I'm the Director of Marketing and Branding at Hyve, and I'll be your moderator for today's call. Before we get started on Slide two, I would like to briefly note the disclosures for today's presentation.

[Nathan Fast, Director of Marketing and Branding at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Except for statements of historical fact, this presentation contains forward looking information within the meaning of the applicable Canadian and U. S. Securities regulations. These forward looking statements are based on expectations, estimates and assumptions as of the date of this presentation. Further, in addition to discussing results that are calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards or IFRS, we will also make references to certain non IFRS financial measures such as adjusted EBITDA.

[Nathan Fast, Director of Marketing and Branding at HIVE Digital Technologies]

For more detailed information on our non IFRS financial measures, please refer to our management's discussion and analysis of our financial results that was published earlier today, which can also be found on our Investor Relations website. On the next slide, I'm pleased to introduce today's presenters Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman Ivan Killick, President and CEO and Darcy Duberis, Chief Financial Officer.

[Nathan Fast, Director of Marketing and Branding at HIVE Digital Technologies]

I would now like to

[Nathan Fast, Director of Marketing and Branding at HIVE Digital Technologies]

hand the presentation over to Mr. Frank Holmes for a macro recap of the quarter. Frank?

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Thank you, Nathan, and welcome to the team. So I'm going to try to go through before we get into the granularity, the nitty gritty of the financials and some of the other hash rate and factors that we look at. I want to give a bigger picture of what's driving this industry and some really significant events that have taken place in the past three months. But before we do that, I always like to talk about the DNA of volatility and life is all about matching expectations. And understanding this visual is basically saying the one standard deviation or one sigma means that something event happens almost 70% of the time.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So it means that it's a nonevent for the S and P 500 to go up or down 1% in a day and over ten days, it's two percent. And when we take a look at Bitcoin, its normal DNA of volatility 70% of the time is up or down 3%, but over ten days, it's eight percent. And then we could take a look at new stocks that are really trailblazers and their DNA volatility starts to really expand. So when we look at the AI and the GPU chip build out with NVIDIA, you can see the one day DNA is the same as Bitcoin, but over ten days is plus or minus 10%. So a lot of external factors are whipping around the volatility of this particular stock and Tesla is even more volatile with a daily volatility of 4% and over ten days thirteen percent and Hive Digital is plus or minus 6% in a day and over ten day period it's 17% and the ultimate of speculative volatility is MicroStrategy.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Since they've continued to leverage their balance sheet and buy more and more bitcoin, their daily volatility is 7%, which is more than double bitcoin's daily volatility and over ten days, it's three times the volatility of what Bitcoin is. So it's important for investors to understand what the DNA of volatility is before you take a make an investment in any of these different asset classes. So quite often we hear buy the dip, stock your shares, stock your coins in total. And these are filled with mins all over Reddit. They are on Twitter or X today, they're on Instagram.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And I just think it's pretty funny when I see that, but I do not see this commitment to other stocks or coins, except for this ecosystem. And that's important for investors to recognize that this brand new and I like to call it also a net averse of which started as gamers, evolving into what is the crypto global ecosystem. And today, there are 194 countries in the world, but there are over 20,000 nodes validating the Bitcoin network all over the world. So buy the dip, stock and hold, Bitcoin ecosystem, what does that mean? Well, that means if Bitcoin falls more than one sigma 3% in a day, it's probably a better time to buy it.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And if high falls more than 6% in a day is probably a better time to buy it. And for those who are traders, quite often when it jumps to 3% Bitcoin in a day, you take some profits and if high jumps 6% a day, you take some profits. That is the DNA that we experience in the capital markets and the correlation of Hai with Bitcoin is extremely high. They run-in tandem like birds in a feather flock together, we all move by the minute in a similar direction. So one of the things that's really interesting for me in talking to registered investment advisors that are now coming into the ecosystem to buy Bitcoin ETFs is really not knowing some of this simple math.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And one Bitcoin is equal to 100,000,000 satoshis. So if you go to Robinhood to buy $1,000 worth of Bitcoin and you're buying a slice of it, well, I'm going to walk you through that you're buying about 1,000,000 satoshis and how does this calculate and it's really important to understand that a satoshi is so tiny and what gives it the upside and to understand the math between bitcoin and a Satoshi. So if one Satoshi is worth $0.01 then one bitcoin is worth $1,000,000 And this is very, very important to recognize. I have said that bitcoin has all the capacity and capability of going to $1,000,000 and it can be faster than you think with adoption. And this adoption takes place in many different forms, which I'm going to walk you through.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

But we know at Hyve that we've been offered for what are called special numbers, unique Satoshi numbers and those numbers have a greater value such as the day of the inauguration of President Trump, the day of pizza day, they like to calculate when someone gave up all their Bitcoins. Well, certain Satoshis can have incredible value where we've been offered up to $10 of Satoshi, not $0.00097 and that's important to recognize that how Bitcoin is broken down into these fractions. So if one Bitcoin is trading at approximately $97,000 today, then one Satoshi is $0.000971 and if Bitcoin is at $100,000 and Bitcoin goes to $1,000,000 that means Satoshi's are worth only $0.01 and that's important to grasp. So when we look at the next visual with Bitcoin say at $100,000 investing $1,000 on a Robinhood basically buys you 1,000,000 or 1000000p stock, if you can think of it that way, because bitcoin is divisible. So you can own a fraction and this is part of the global adoption that is happening with the Bitcoin ETF.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So if you go out and buy HODL, HODL, which is a VanEck's Bitcoin ETF and you buy only $1,000 worth, well, you should be getting close to a call of a million satoshis. And this is what I found a lot of our registered investment advisers were not aware. And when you limit the supply of 21,000,000 and you have this adoption, then what's called Metcalfe's Law kicks in and the prices can grow exponentially. And that is, it is really simple of Metcalfe's Law saying that it can go to a penny or that means bitcoin is a million or a bitcoin when it hits a million, your Satoshi is going to be worth a penny. So that's the 10 bagger and that is the exponential move that people can better understand what's taking place.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So let's talk about this beginning because in July, earlier last year, President Trump showed up to a packed crowd and he talked about how he's learnt and he's embraced Bitcoin and he understands about the element of freedom of private property and the freedom of rights and the capacity to be digital and to be able to send anywhere and share anywhere were becoming very valuable. But behind all of this, you must understand that the crypto ecosystem through SuperPacks basically contribute about $130,000,000 to Congress races, people that are running for Congress that were supporting the Bitcoin blockchain ecosystem. And this resulted in the election of numerous pro crypto lawmakers and that is the big change. So now it's a new dawn for U. S.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Digital asset policy And a clear focus on crypto, Trump's executive order. Trump learned a lot from his first four years being absent for four coming into this term. He basically has two years to move quickly to enact all the changes he wants. And it's very disruptive to the markets. Last week, Bitcoin was down because of tariffs with Trump and this week, Bitcoin was up because of Trump's tariffs.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And you hear this with gold and it's all over the board. It's just lots of nuances you have to recognize. People are unused to Trump's executive order. But if you study global capital markets the way I do, you would take a look at Argentina and LA when he came into power and how he cut deep and wide a lot of government agencies for wasting capital and jobs. And what he did with that fast was this sort of executive decision making, he dropped inflation dramatically in his country.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And in many other things, basically there's been no huge unemployment, all these government workers who were doing nothing all of a sudden found new jobs. So I think there's something that's afoot here and Malay was at the inauguration for President Trump just like the President of Paraguay, which I'll mention in a few minutes. But it's understanding that the success of Argentina and the experience of what's taking place with President Trump is that he's supporting the blockchain networks, mining activities and self custody of digital assets. He's strengthening our global position of the U. S.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Dollar by promoting the stable coins. He's providing clear and fair regulations for the crypto industry with well defined rules for oversight and Trump's goal is to make The U. S. The crypto capital of the world and repeal Sab 121. The SEC crypto task force is headed by a pro crypto SEC commissioner, Hester Pierce.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So lots of things are happening and they're happening very quickly. And there's a reset button that's not waiting three months for something that's happening by the day and by the week. So I think this is important for you to recognize and this also gave Hyve the confidence and for many reasons to move its head office from Vancouver to San Antonio and to start the audit process to be able to come up with GAAP accounting, which Darcy can give you more color on. But we feel safer as a company having the head office in San Antonio now that we have a government that is pro crypto, but also pro blockchain. Next please.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

TriplePoint's former PayPal executive David Sacks as AI and crypto czar, new role will help reshape U. S. Policy and digital currency, early evangelist for cryptocurrency, move comes after Bitcoin soared over $100,000 for the first time. And now we have all this tariff stuff going on, but I think it's just a lot of noise and I think that we're seeing some of the changes. They're taking a look at blockchain to become into the Treasury Department, so that there's a better way to audit, especially when we look at USAID and the abuse of all the money that where the money was going.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

A lot of this probably half of the money was going to NGOs that had political agendas that were really not aligned with U. S. Aid to help poor countries or countries who are unfortunate from a storm or from an earthquake or starving children. It was being abused. And I think when you put this on the blockchain, it's much easier to do an audit.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

I think that's a direction we're going to have with this new thought leadership. Next please. So let's take a look at the daily trading. And I want you to remember that Bitcoin has no CEO, no CFO, no Board of Directors. It's We the People, By the People around the world have been adopted and adopted early.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Hyve was the first crypto mining company to go public. It was the first company to really adopt and adapt to this changing global ecosystem. Bitcoin was only $3,000 at the time and the trading volume was quite low on a relative basis. But today, it's averaging using Bloomberg and Yahoo about $42,000,000,000 a day. I mean, this is a big number when you take a look at an industry of a couple of trillion dollars.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Next please. And I always like to compare to JPMorgan that always wants to attack the Bitcoin ecosystem. They want to find fault with it because they want to control all financial movement of money so that they can turn around and charge more fees and Bitcoin is much faster, more fluid to send money between countries. And we've seen the growth of stablecoins. We've seen the unprecedented growth of Tether around the world that now has more U.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

S. Treasuries than the country of Germany. They are a major player when it comes to the U. S. Treasury auction.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So things are changing and these are important points that bitcoin trades a magnitude of six times greater than we can see here than JP Morgan and it's just under Apple, But it's just a matter of time that bitcoin will surpass Apple around the world for daily trading as this adoption continues. And once again, I believe that's really important to understand Moore's Law, understand Metcalfe's Law. There's some real technological laws to understand about when you're buying equipment that and particularly when we look at AI or we look at buying chips in ASIC, how much more efficient they are, they're really applying that's Moore's Law. But the adoption process has much more traction with Metcalfe's Law that talks about this adoption and how prices will increase. Next please.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So BlackRock launched. And remember, I tried to launch a Bitcoin ETF in 2017 and realized it wasn't going to happen, so launched the creation of the first crypto mining company, Hai. And it was fortunate that we did it early, but you can see how long it took to finally get a Bitcoin ETF off the ground. And Black Little Rock launched its Bitcoin ETF on 01/11/2024, about a year ago and is the greatest launch of ETF history by the comments by here by ETF Store. But when we look at all the assets that have basically gone into Bitcoin ETFs, is from $0 to $120,000,000,000 in assets.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Half of that or close to half of that is BlackRock. Next please. So this is another visual of looking at $115,000,000,000 just the volatility is measuring when this snapshot just recently took place. But I think it's really important for it to recognize that this huge adoption is taking place and I believe that as more RIAs and brokers, etcetera, really understand the scarcity value of Bitcoin, the growth and the need of Bitcoin and it's all based on the Blockchain that we're going to see big changes being ushered in very positively over the next four years. Next please.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So BachRock now is expanding its footprint by launching a Bitcoin exchange traded product in Europe after the success of its US58 billion dollars ETF. Next please. And the adoption only grows. Here we have Costco. You can now find Bitcoin ATMs in some of the no, it's supposed to be now in all of the stores.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And so it's gone from some to all the Costco stores. And I think that that's what's really important in this rollout. Next please. So strengthening our relationship with the President and top government officials in Paraguay. This is myself last May, June, meeting with the President of Paraguay, Santiago Pena.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Pena studied in America, went to the University of Columbia in New York, worked in Washington, D. C, has a high bank rating, has a sovereign currency, his bond rating for the country is stellar on a relative basis of other emerging countries. I think it's important to recognize that there's few countries in Latin America, which are really pro America and Paraguay is one of those. And now with the leadership of Malay and Argentina, they are pro America, but nothing like Paraguay. And that's what's most interesting, how they look at their country was almost wiped off the face of the earth in 1870.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And so President Hayes came in and settled and protected the sovereignty of the country of Paraguay. And so one of the large states in the country of Paraguay is Hayes, after the name after the President Hayes. So it's interesting to see the strong tradition of this particular country, which is rich in fertile farmland and rich on hydroelectricity and that's why we're there. They are generating massive surplus electricity for the largest dam in the Western Hemisphere. It's been paid off.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

It's a partnership between the countries of Brazil and Paraguay. And what we do in the Bitcoin ecosystem is really help their utility company earn U. S. Dollars every month that get paid on time, because they were selling energy to Argentina. Argentina has paid back out of 200 and some odd million dollars, 1 hundred million dollars under the new President, but they still owe more money to them.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And it's really difficult run your country one of your biggest exports is electricity and you don't get paid on time. But when you have Bitcoin money, you do get paid on time every month. So this helps the overall country and this helps Hyve in its journey to really focus on sustainable green energy. Next please. So the big news we announced and Ivan is going to go into more granular detail on it, but Hyve Digital Technologies announces the acquisition of Bitfarms facilities.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

It enhances our operating capacity in Paraguay to 300 megawatts upon completion. It plans to expand mining Hashrate 4x from 6x to 25x, which is a huge increase and based on Bitcoin around $100,000 it gives us a run rate globally of pushing the $500,000,000 based on the technology and the difficulty today. Next please. Just a simple visual, highest future of Hash rate growth from 6x a Hash today to 25x a Hash and that against all of our peers is the fastest growing this year announcement when you compare to all the other peers. And I think Aya is going to give you some great granularity of what makes us a unique value proposition.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Moving to The U. S. Also makes us qualify through our process. There's no guarantee, but it does set the stage to qualify for many of the indexes that are out there like the Russell two thousand. And if you look at many of the other bitcoin mining companies, their biggest holders are index related.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

They're not active technology funds. They are predominantly those funds that are indexed and I think that we're trying to position the companies in that pathway. Next please. So research coverage on Hyve has grown substantially over the past year, has been a lot of work by our peers. It used to be predominantly Canaccord and Stifel, but we can see now that we have other people that have come along with Cantor and Roth and we have Northland, H.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

C. Wainwright and by the way, as you see, O'Keefe, Burette and Woods is really a Stifel company. So that's a Stifel research. And most of these companies are calling between $9 and $11 that's the rerating. And I think after Darcy gives you an analysis of our financials and you look at our run rate and I think the important part for investors is to look at as a data center business And data center business trade at multiples of 10 times to 20 times EBITDA.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And when you look at that, we have this great potential to go to $800,000,000 on our run rate today of EBITDA to about $1,600,000,000 And if you do it on a pro form a basis, it's more like $3,000,000,000 So that's what makes the value proposition where Hyve is positioning itself for this growth. Next please. So I mentioned this earlier, the Hyve's relocation in San Antonio aligns with the operations of the America First agenda, enhancing local engagement and operational efficiencies, transition to U. S. GAAP reporting in fiscal year end March 31 to enhance transparency and comparability is really important to other Bitcoin miners.

[Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So it's easier for any investor, retail to institutional to do relative valuations. And visit us if you're in our local area in Texas, Thursday, April the seventeenth, Clive is having Retail Investor Day and ribbon cutting ceremony in San Antonio, Texas and a meet up to talk about Bitcoin and where we're going in this world. Next please. So now I want to turn over to our CEO and President Ivan Kilic to give you a granular update on the financials of where we financial operations more like operations, a comparative analysis of our value proposition and then our CFO, Darcy De Vares, he will give us a detailed financial analysis of the company. Now I'd like to turn it over to Ivan.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

All right, Frank. Thanks for that introduction. That was a phenomenal macro overview of the industry. So now we're going to have a closer look at the executive summary highlights for Hy this quarter. Let's kick it off.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

It was a great quarter for us. So $29,000,000 of revenue with a $6,100,000 gross operating margin works out to 21% operating margin for the company this quarter. In addition to that $17,300,000 of adjusted EBITDA and furthermore 2,805 Bitcoin on the balance sheet mine with green and clean energy, unencumbered, no debt on those Bitcoin. Another metric I'm very proud of and we started tracking this is we hit an annualized ROIC of 37% this quarter, which I think is phenomenal and in fact means a whole industry. We're going to look at some comp charts later to see how we stack up against our peers.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And by the way, right now, Hive is the best bang for your buck, full stop. For every high share that you purchase, you're getting 78% Bitcoin per share, 78% Bitcoin per share. And later in the presentation, we actually have a comp table that Van Eck did tracking this and we led the whole sector. So I think all the smart money now is going to high because they clearly see we provide the best value proposition in terms of exposure to Bitcoin for every share that you buy, biggest growth in the sector right now with Forex and best ROIC, but more on that in the following slide. Let's jump into the next one.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So how do we do this? It's our differentiated growth strategy. We prioritize ROIC when we deploy our capital. And by the way, even in January, our HODL was 2,657. We deployed some capital to acquire the Bitfarms site in Iwasu And so we sold some of that Bitcoin very strategically for that purpose, but nevertheless, we're still up 37% year over year.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So we are putting our balance sheet to work and whether it's using proceeds from the ATM or in certain cases Bitcoin, we always want to make sure it's accretive and it is something that will provide the best value to our shareholders and the lowest cost of capital. And as a result of that, we are demonstrating the best enterprise value to Bitcoin mined and the most attractive enterprise value to adjusted EBITDA in this sector. Our target is to hit 3% of the global hash rate this year, which will be 25x the Hash by September 2025. We're going to have some slides that demonstrate what cash flow that looks like and it's very attractive. Of course, our HPC and AI business, a lot of institutions are very excited about that.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

As Bitcoin miners are pivoting, we've demonstrated our position in the market. We had $10,000,000 annualized revenue this year, sorry, this quarter and we are on track to get to $20,000,000 but more on that later. By the way, we're an NVIDIA cloud partner and we're going to be attending the NVIDIA Global Tech Conference this March to see the Jensen Huang keynote and meet with some of our OEMs and technology partners. If you're there, come say hi. Next slide.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

All right. So this is the big sexy Bitcoin slide that everybody wants to talk about. So we have a binding LOI to acquire the 200 megawatt site in Iwas Zoo. The site's phenomenal, we were there in December. It was very well on its way to completion.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

You could see here an aerial photo of the adjoining substation. And what this gets us is a formative step towards our strategy at 25x a hatch by September. And by the way, as we are populating our expansions with the latest generation gear, that gets us to a global fleet efficiency of 16.5 joules of Karatash, which will give us one of the best fleet efficiencies in the industry. And as you know, the lower that number means the less energy you need for every hash you produce, which means a lower cost of Bitcoin production. So we are going to have one of the most modern, efficient fleets.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And the power costs in Paraguay lower our global average cost of electricity. So we're very excited about that. How it rolls out is summarized here on the bottom. So the first one hundred megawatts is forecasted to be air cooled and that'll be 6x a hash. Those air cooled machines are 16.5 joules per terahash.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Then the second hundred megawatts was actually at our balanced way less site that we press released a few months ago. Those will be hydro, those are 15 joules a terahash. And that means you could fit 6.5 x a hash in that 100 megawatts. And then the third tranche of 100 megawatts is the second phase of the Iwasoo site, another 6.5 extra hash, right? So you tally that up and that is how we get to our 25 extra hash target.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Now, we announced two lead orders from Bitmain and Canaan in December which secured 15x a Hash of Hash rate. And by the way, those purchases were both at phenomenal prices. So the Bitmain order was at $14 a Terahash for S21 plus hydros and it worked out about a ten month ROI after OpEx, phenomenal deal. And the Canaan, we weren't allowed to say what the dollar per terra hash price was, but it was a great deal and it was a sub one year ROI after cost as well. So we're thrilled about that.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And of course, we'll be announcing other strategic ASIC orders to get us to the 25 Exa Hash pipeline. Let's jump to the next slide. So for all the analysts out there and all the keen investors that have their spreadsheets, here it is by the numbers. So our global existing footprint works out to 140 megawatts between Canada and Sweden and the additional 300 megawatts in Paraguay gets us to four forty megawatts. So currently we're at six sets of Hashford installed hatchery and our pipeline, once everything is completed, is 25 packs of hash.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Now if you add up the numbers there, you actually get to 25.5 packs of hash. But just to keep things simple for the street, the target is 25 packs of hash. In addition to that, we have 2.2 megawatts Tier three operating in Stockholm and Montreal, more on that later. But again, you've got the status, what's online and what's prescribed for the energization dates of the expansions. Next, and by the way, 100% green energy.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Next slide. So this is really, what this translates to is a 4x growth in our current hash rate of zig zag the hash rate. And so again, you see here on this bar chart, it's a visual representation of that growth. So the six going to 6.5 eggs a hash is an internal upgrade. Although it's a modest upgrade only increasing by half eggs a hash, you actually see our efficiency increase from 22 to 19.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

That's the upgrade of those tannins that we ordered, air cooled going into New Brunswick and Sweden. Next up, we add 6.5 ex a hash from the hydros that will go in the first one hundred megawatts, another 6x a hash air cooled and the second one hundred megawatts and of course, another 6.5x a hash in the final 100 megawatt tranche, ending us with a global fleet efficiency of 16.5 joules a terra. So for all the analysts out there that are doing their models and forecasting, I hope this slide is very helpful. Any questions, feel free to reach out. Next slide please.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Now, this is what the projected cash flows look like once the 25 exahash is operational. So we've done sort of a three scenario cash flow projection, Bitcoin is either $100,000 1 hundred and 20 5 thousand dollars or $150,000 So in this scenario, at 25x of hash, you're a 3% of global network, which works out to 13.5 Bitcoin per day. So using that on a pro rata basis, you're doing either $1,400,000 of daily revenue up to $2,000,000 Now let's just zoom out and look at it macro. Really what this works out to as an annualized mining margin of approximately $330,000,000 in the base case, $450,000,000 and by the way, this is after assuming electrical cost of approximately $0.045 for the model here, $450,000,000 if Bitcoin is at $125,000 and over $500,000,000 of cash flow from operations from gross mining margin if Bitcoin hits 150,000. Keep in mind, our market cap today is a little under $400,000,000 And so I think there's immense upside.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

With Bitcoin at $150,000 if we're throwing off over $500,000,000 cash flow from operations, at a three, four X multiple on cash flow, it's a $2,000,000,000 company is what it is. By the way, we have our HODL as well, which is over $250,000,000 of Bitcoin on the balance sheet. So it's going to be a very exciting year. Historically, by the way, we've seen every bull market come really in full force and effect the year after the halving. So little history lesson 2016, we had the halving in April and Bitcoin really started to take off in summer of twenty seventeen, hitting its all time high of 20,000 in December of twenty seventeen, right?

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So the following year. Now in 2020, we saw the halving in May and the bull market, well, it really kicked off in February of twenty twenty one, we saw an all time high of $65,000 and then again in November, it was a twin peak bull market, dollars 72,000 Bitcoin. Now in 2024, we had our having again in April and in sort of December, January, we saw Bitcoin hit $100,000 for the first time ever, which was very momentous. And so we look to the balance of calendar year 2025, are we going to see 120,000 Bitcoin, 1 hundred and 80 thousand Bitcoin? I think everybody has a different opinion, especially with all of the tailwinds with the new Trump administration, which we're so excited about and we feel is great for America.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Next slide. Now, we at Hyatt are now leading the industry in growth for calendar 2025. Again, I just want to back up and remind The Street that Hyve has made really big plays. You go back to 2020 when we acquired Le Choute, a 30 megawatt facility was the largest in Canada at the time. 2021 when I joined Hyve was to oversee the acquisition New Brunswick, which was 70 megawatts, again, the largest single site Bitcoin mine in Canada at the time.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And so we've been waiting. It's a road less traveled to get green energy, but we found that in Paraguayans we're adding 300 megawatts to our portfolio. That's a 4x growth this calendar year. See our peers are sort of in the 1.2 to 1.8 range for the most part. And of course, Bitfarms who by the way, we think they also did a great deal.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

They're focusing on their gigawatt of growth in The U. S. They're looking at 3.5x growth. So clearly Hyve and Bitfarms are leading the sector in terms of growth prospects. Cypher is there at 2.7.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

But then we're going to look at the other aspects. We're going to look at ROIC and we're going to look at G and A and there's other fundamentals of the business that'll be very interesting. But again, we lead this sector with the biggest growth for 2025. It's going to be a great year for Hyve. Next slide.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Okay. So if you look at the enterprise value relative to our projected cash rate, we are a very, very attractive buy. And this again, I'll say, I believe the smart money, the savvy money, the investor that really does their homework and understands the mining industry sees Hive as the best bet. You could see $5 per exahash, $5,000,000 I guess it's in millions I should say, by a long shot. Our peers are trading at anywhere from four to eight to 16 times our value per Exahash based on current growth this year.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So again, because we have the biggest growth this year, we're such an attractive value proposition and this is why I think it's a very strong case for the savvy investor that's looking for value stock in Bitcoin mining. Next slide. So again, just a reminder, we are very data driven. It's all about deploying our capital for the best dollar per terra hash when we're buying ASICs, which by the way you have to keep in mind the jewels per terra hash. But you have to model the variability of hash price and understand net of costs, when are you going to ROI in your ASICs.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

If you are not outperforming the market, and by that what I mean, if you are not generating more yield and returns from your mining operations and if you just bought Bitcoin, then you should just be buying Bitcoin. Otherwise, what's the point? And so we see a lot of capital that sort of deployed, some would even say destroyed in the mining industry when people are raising a lot of capital and just expanding. We have slower upgrade cycles without ASICs. Why?

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Because we want to mine for their full economic life cycle. So for example, what that means is if an ASIC has useful economic life of three, maybe four years if you're lucky, then you want to be ROI in that first year to year and a half. So for the balance of the two years or one and a half years for that ASICs life cycle, you want that to be free cash flow. However, the latter seasons of that ASICs life will have lower margins and so when you look at the quarterly mining economics, if you're free cash flowing on older machines, your gross mining margin might be thinner, but that's free cash flow and the industry doesn't really track that. So we just have to remind the Street to really pay attention about where to show up, our ROIC.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And of course, this is where we've continued to lead the sector. And by the way, we've got best in class uptime as well. So when we talk about efficiency, we talk about having the best uptime and also we're going to be leading the industry with the most energy efficient fleet as well as 16.5 joules of Tera Ash. So let's hop to the next slide and see some numbers. So here it is.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So for the quarter, 9.3% ROIC annualized 37%. And so far only Hyve and CleanSpark have reported because this is not our year end. We have a March 31 year end of course, CleanSpark is September. And so these numbers will populate, but just look at the past quarters as well And you see, we've led the industry head and shoulders with the best ROIC quarter over quarter. That comes from our disciplined deployment of capital being very data driven.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And here's the results. I'm very proud of the team and the hard work that we do to deliver value for shareholders, which I think is very strongly represented here. Next slide please. Now, cost management, lowest G and A per Bitcoin mined as well. You could see in the sector, some of our peers, look at the previous, in the current quarter again, we just have heightened food spark the data, but you can compare those two data points.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And in previous quarters, you could see that we are mere fraction. Even in a bear market, right, when margins are thin, you see our G and A was 27% of revenue. That percentage is higher because it was a bear quarter. PCR peers 50%, sixty %, forty %, in some cases 98%. So it's about like Hyve is the longest standing Bitcoin miner, the first to go public, we're going to our eighth year of operation.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We've weathered three bear markets. So you have that discipline and understanding you have to have a very lean operation, A, to offer a good value for shareholders, but B, to make sure you can weather the tough quarters. And so we have that discipline which we prove quarter over quarter, year in, year out. So very proud of my team. We all work super hard.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We huddle every day at 7AM my time, Vancouver, ten am Toronto time, four pm Sweden time. And we pretty much run 20 fourseven just like crypto markets. That's the highest advantage for shareholders. Next slide. So again, we've talked about our HODL.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

If you look at that year over year, it's gone up almost 4x, right? So that's 2,805 Bitcoin on the balance sheet, mine with green energy unencumbered. We haven't board against it or anything like that. Very little to no debt at Hyve as well. We're in a very clean balance sheet as well as having profitable operations.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So again, discipline and growth. And by the way, 2024 was not exactly the most bullish year overall for Bitcoin mining. So again, very proud that we were able to grow that HODL very substantively while also scaling our operation and upgrading our fleet to more energy efficient miners. Let's hop to the next slide. So this is also a metric we wanted to revisit because even though we've been growing the business and upgrading our fleet, we still managed to have the lowest dilution across the peer set.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So let me recap. We have the highest growth prospects in the industry. We announced $120,000,000 order with Bitmain, thirty six million dollars of that has been paid up in our initial deposits to secure that. We announced our buying LOI of Bitfarms, twenty million dollars has been paid towards that. So we're using our ATM very judiciously and when it's strategic and accretive to you so, we will sell a little bit of Bitcoin as we announced our January hodles 2,650.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And so we still we do all of this. It's a symphony of strategy. So we have the lowest dilution. And so you could see here, quarter over quarter, that's our year over year, we've managed to have the lowest dilution in the industry by a long shot while also having the highest growth. So again, proud of my team, greater capital efficiency and earnings per share protection.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So again, having this discipline going into a year of growth and what we expect to be a bull market for Bitcoin mining, if the past cycles of having anything to go by, which again, we have three having events, we believe that this is going to be a great year for Hyve. Next slide. Anthony Powers, very good. If you've ever met Anthony in person, he's so passionate about numbers. He's a CPA of The UK and he does a great job and you could see here we're neck and neck.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Again, we at Bitfarms and Hive have been amongst the longest standing crypto miners, both going public during the Canadian era of 2017. And so we lead the sector here. We're neck and neck for first place. And this by the way, this is for the full calendar year. This is for the full calendar year of 2024.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We led the sector and you could see that that waterfall rolls off pretty substantively. Some of the peers are sub 30 Bitcoin per exit hash. But again, we not only want to offer shareholders the best bang for your buck, but best performance. So I can confidently say as President and CEO of Hyve, I really think that pound for pound, we are the best Bitcoin miner in the sector. And it's the numbers that really back it up.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

But again, we're very diligent. We work extremely hard to keep this level of performance and we want to scale this level of performance as well. Let's hop to the next slide. So I alluded to this, it's a very interesting summary by Van Hett. And so what they're looking at is Bitcoin value per Exahash.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

As you look at the enterprise value and value of the treasuries, etcetera. And really what you could see here, if you look at the right most column, we need the sector, 67% Bitcoin value as a percentage of our enterprise value. And you see Marathon is number two at 63 and Marathon has gone out. I think they've raised quite a bit of money just to buy Bitcoin, but we've managed to organically from our own operations, strategically HODLing while also having the lowest dilution in this space. Again, this is a testament to our discipline.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We're very data driven when we deploy our capital, we keep costs low. So we have cash flow positive operations. This slide alone, I think says a lot. But anyways, and this is on their website too. I think the URL is down there at the bottom.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

VanEck, they're a great ETF. I think they're going to be doing a new discretionary ETF where they'll be able to deploy capital, more capital into the crypto mining sector. So we're very grateful to have them as a shareholder. Next slide. And this revisits the hype ratio.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So look at the January production report. You've got press releases, it's tabulated here for convenience. Again, this is all market data. If you look at our market cap and you back up the value of the HODL, so you've got what you call value excluding HODL fair value or just call enterprise value for convenience for 117,000,000, we produce 102 Bitcoin. So if you annualize that, we're trading at a value per Bitcoin mine at 96,000, which is basically the price of Bitcoin.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And you look at what our peers are trading at, some of them are trading 200,000, 4 hundred thousand, but some of them are trading over $1,000,000 per Bitcoin mined. And you can kind of normalize that to a ratio and because we have the most attractive value, if we're trading at a 1X, our peers are trading anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 to eight to 10 to 12 X. So again, we believe the smart money will start funneling its way to high. We are the best value, half of town the best miner in terms of uptime, lowest dilution, lowest G and A per Bitcoin mined. Again, I'm an engineer by training, so it's all about numbers for me.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

I'm a numbers guy. I'm sure everybody else is that enjoys crypto mining because it's a numbers game. And this is another metric where we lead the fit. It's very clear that we're in incredibly attractive value proposition right now. Let's see the next slide.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Of course, so we're going

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

to talk about AI. We hit $10,000,000 annualized revenue this quarter, $2,500,000 and that's coming from our 4,000 A Series cards, which are operational in Montreal and Stockholm, Sweden. But very exciting, we just ordered a 32 node H100 cluster with InfiniBand and that was actually shipped and arrived in December and it was configured over the following six weeks. So it's now operational. We're looking to hand that over to a client in the next week or two and that will add $4,000,000 of top line revenue.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And then the H200 cluster we also announced is currently being configured and should be ready in about four to five weeks. I believe Supermicro is at the data center next week, Pressure testing and configuring everything and of course this is with InfiniBand as well. So we're building in video reference architecture by the way, multiples of 32 nodes is what Nvidia prescribes with InfiniBand of course. And that H200 cluster, we expect to add $9,000,000 top line revenue. So we're at $10,000,000 you add $4,000,000 you add $9,000,000 gets us to about $23,000,000 at annualized revenue.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

The target is $20,000,000 just to keep it simple for the Street. And we're focused on hitting that in the next quarter. So we stand by for updates on that. And the $100,000,000 annualized revenue target is still there. And all we said is that's going to be focused more on the infrastructure side.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We'd be building and converting our green energy data centers to support Tier three where we can either build more GPU clusters or provide colocation surfaces. More on that. But right now the focus and the recent news is that we've got the H100 and H200 clusters in our data centers. Again, H100 already be turned over to clients very soon and H200 should be ready to turn over in hopefully four to five weeks. And so we've alluded to this.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We've said we're focusing on next generation video compute. And by the way, we realized it's no secret that Blackwell is going to be liquid cooled. And so if you're going to be building tier three infra, well, it better support the next generation of compute, which will be 130 kilowatts per rack if you look at NBL72. And so it's about understanding where the market is going in preparing that. So anyways, we've commented about that, just sort of acknowledging that again.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We'll hop to the next slide. So again, the focal point here is to hit the $20,000,000 annualized revenue once the H100 and H200 clusters are rented and we're planning to rent these clusters to single customers. And then that's in addition to the cash flow from our existing GPs of the $10,000,000 Next slide please. And it is time for Mr. Darcy de Vares, the longest standing CFO in crypto mining industry.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

He's got more audits under his belt than anybody else and more having events under his belt than any other CFO in the crypto mining. Mr. Diverse, it's all yours.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Thank you, Aydin. At this point of the presentation, I will take you through a snapshot of the period, looking at the most recent completed quarter and some financial indicators. We are providing certain non IFRS measures in our presentation today. The company believes that these measures, while not a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the company. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Further details are found in the management discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended 12/31/2024. As you can see on this slide, Hive ended 12/31/2024 quarter with 140,200,000.0 common shares, 3,300,000.0 options, 6,200,000.0 RSUs and 3,200,000.0 warrants outstanding. On to the next slide. During this most recently completed quarter of December 31, we recorded $29,200,000 of revenue and a 17,300,000 profit measured in adjusted EBITDA. This was driven by the production of three twenty two bitcoin equivalent being produced.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

On to the next slide, we always and have since day one taken pride in maintaining a healthy balance sheet. Our cash position was $9,800,000 as of 12/31/2024, in addition to $260,800,000 in digital currencies, a healthy increase from the prior quarter, driven by higher total balances and higher Bitcoin prices. And as we know, our total is consistent of Bitcoin. We also had $8,900,000 in amounts receivable and prepaids. This is an increase from the prior period.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

The total market value of our strategic investments increased by 26% from the prior quarter to $30,700,000 We have a strong net cash position and healthy working capital to support our operations and growth objectives, with a current ratio of 10.4 calculated as current assets divided by current liabilities. Moving on to the next slide, let's shift our focus to our gross operating margin on a year over year basis. We'll be comparing the third quarter of this year to the third quarter of last year. Our gross mining margin, which is calculated as total revenues minus direct operating and maintenance costs and high performance computing service fees decreased in absolute terms to $6,100,000 or 21% in the most recent quarter compared to $11,300,000 in the same quarter last year. One significant factor to consider and remember is the impact of the halving event that occurred in April of twenty twenty four.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

This event led to rewards earned by minors in the third quarter of this year being halved compared to the same period last year. The gross mining margin is influenced by several additional external factors. These include the high mining difficulty currently being experienced and the reduced amount of digital currency rewards received by miners, as I've mentioned, which is now half of what it was a year ago. And the market price of the digital currencies at the time of mining, which is how our revenue is recorded, which has been higher compared to the previous quarter. Taking a look at basic income or loss per share, in the most recently completed quarter, we are reporting a net profit of $0.01 per share compared to a net loss of $0.08 per share reported for the quarter ending 12/31/2023.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And looking at the nine month period, year to date, we are reporting a net loss of $0.03 per share compared to a net loss of $0.55 per share in the nine months ended 12/31/2023. The net loss reported by Hyve is in accordance with the regulatory requirements of IFRS as we are a Canadian listed entity rather than following U. S. GAAP. However, we are going through the process to get a transition to U.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

S. GAAP. One of the things that we'll do is allow our investors and our listeners of this session to have greater comparability of ourselves to our peers. On to the next slide and looking at our year over year revenue, we generated total revenue in the third quarter of fiscal twenty twenty five of $29,200,000 versus $31,300,000 in the previous year's quarter. The steady revenues compared to the same quarter in fiscal twenty twenty four can primarily be attributed to the higher average Bitcoin price, which is more than double what it was last year.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

However, this increase is offset by a rise in Bitcoin difficulty hash rates over the past year, as well as the impact of the halving event on the current period results. It's a huge badge of honor for our operations team and the company as a whole to be able to maintain these high revenues, even with receiving half of the rewards that we were receiving a year ago as an effect of the halving event. As previously mentioned, our gross mining margin, which equates to our revenues minus direct operating and maintenance costs and HPC service fees decreased in absolute dollars to $6,100,000 or 21% in the most recent quarter compared to $11,300,000 or 36% in the prior year. Moving on to the next slide, comparing our current fiscal Q3 quarter to the previous Q2 quarter, we generated revenue in this third quarter of fiscal twenty twenty five of twenty nine point two million dollars versus $22,600,000 in the previous quarter. This increase in revenues versus the prior quarter was impacted by an increase in the price of Bitcoin, resulting in higher revenue from digital currency mining.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We also saw a 35% higher HPC revenues quarter over quarter. Our gross operating margin also in absolute dollars decreased to $6,100,000 or 21% in the most recent quarter compared to $1,200,000 or 5%. That increase is great on a quarter over quarter basis and it was greatly due to the higher comparative Bitcoin prices and resulting revenues. Looking at our adjusted EBITDA on the next slide, in this third quarter of fiscal twenty twenty five was $17,300,000 versus an adjusted EBITDA of $5,600,000 in the prior quarter. I will highlight again that adjusted EBITDA is a non IFRS figure.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

In the third quarter of fiscal twenty twenty five, we experienced a net profit of $1,300,000 compared to a net loss of $7,700,000 in the prior quarter. At this point, as I always like to do, I want to thank our loyal shareholders that have been with us over this period of time. It has been an incredible journey. It has been incredible what Hyatt has been able to achieve and announce over the last three months. And at this time, I'd like to pass it to Nathan, who will running our Q and A portion for our covering analysts.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Nathan?

[Analyst]

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

[Analyst]

Hi. I'm not sure if I've been unmuted for the question, but it seems like I have been. With respect to the Paraguay expansion strategy, curious if you guys could share some details in terms of whether you see further opportunity expand in the region now that you've established a foothold in the market with the 300 megawatts expected to come online in roughly eight months?

[Analyst]

Uh-huh.

[Analyst]

And

[Analyst]

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

All right, Bill. I don't know if I can't hear anything on my end. Can you repeat the question? I apologize.

[Analyst]

Yes, no worries. Good morning, everyone, and thanks for having me here. So, my first question was with respect to the Paraguay strategy. I'm just curious to hear the team's thoughts on further opportunity to expand in the region now that a 300 megawatt foothold will be established in roughly eight months. Just curious to hear on general thoughts on Paraguay.

[Analyst]

Thank you.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Yes. No, thanks for the question, Bill. And I apologize for the silence. I wasn't sure if it was just on my end. I think with the team that we've had gone down there, Frank has been down there, Aiden has been down there, Luke, our Chief Operating Officer.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

It's opening up some other opportunities. People are we're seeing more of the region. We're having conversations with existing miners down there. So I think that there's potentially a lot of opportunities in Latin America to do some additional Bitcoin mining. But right now, because this is, as everybody on the call knows, this is the biggest transformational announcement that Hyve has made since its inception back in 2017, we're laser focused to get these done.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

I don't think that we want to overburden ourselves with going after another 300 megawatts or whatever. As the conservative CFO, I think the team wants to make sure that we get this done, get it done properly, get it up and running. And with the Bitfarms one because it was already, once we close, be able to get this one up and running, the timeline's a lot tighter. We're going to learn a lot. It's like any country.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

You can have all of your plans, the operations team, finance team, everybody. But until you energize that, that's when the excitement really starts. So, we are continuing to take a look. We are always, whether it's in Latin America or other places, taking incoming opportunity questions. So, we're continuing to look and haven't closed our eyes to anything.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And with the access to the green energy from these large dams that have stranded power, I think that there's going to continue to be opportunities. Whether we take them or not, That will continuously be part of our corporate development strategy, taking a look at it, seeing if it makes sense. But the big thing we're looking at through calendar twenty twenty five is getting these operations up and running so that we can put Bitcoin on our balance sheet.

[Analyst]

Awesome. Thank you for the color there. And then if I may ask a second one, how should we think about the ramp in SG and A expense going forward, the impact of operating leverage as the business scales here?

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Yes, I think the SG and A is going to continue to be very lean. It's not going to be linear from a standpoint of us having 6x Ash now and then getting a 4x to 25x a Hash that our SG and A is going to increase by 4x, there's going to be economies of scale. And the great thing that I've in my head, Bill, it's not the operations side, but I would much rather have one two hundred megawatt facility like we're looking at in Paraguay with VLOI with bitfarms, then have ten twenty megawatt ones. You can keep your overhead a lot lower, you can get a lot more economies of scale. As we've talked about before, we are going to be adding some people on the strategy side for the accounting and auditing.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And we'll obviously have to add some people down in Paraguay to run the operations. But it's not going to be a four times. We're going to continue to keep it lean. And this is where it's you can maintain a very low SG and A while your revenues go four times.

[Analyst]

Really appreciate the color. Congrats again on the quarter.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Great. Thanks, Bill. I appreciate you calling in.

[Nathan Fast, Director of Marketing and Branding at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Bill, thank you for the question. For our next question, we'll go to the line of Darren from Roth. Please unmute.

[Darren Aftahi, Senior Research Analyst-Internet, Media and Enabling Technologies at Roth Capital Partners, LLC]

Hey, guys. Can you hear me?

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Yes, Darren.

[Darren Aftahi, Senior Research Analyst-Internet, Media and Enabling Technologies at Roth Capital Partners, LLC]

Great. Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Congrats on the progress. So I guess my first question, I appreciate that you know this stuff sort of occurs linearly.

[Darren Aftahi, Senior Research Analyst-Internet, Media and Enabling Technologies at Roth Capital Partners, LLC]

Can you just walk through what logistically needs to occur in order to one, close the Paraguay site from Bitfarms? And then two, with respect to the aggregate 300 megawatt project, kind of what are the biggest obstacles between once you close the Bitfarms transaction and getting up to 35 exit hash by the third quarter target?

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

I think the target is 25, but I don't know where the extra 25 will get to get to 35. I think it's well on its way. We're having numerous calls with Bitfarms every week. We've got a very good relationship, a very good, open communication with them because both ourselves and Bitfarms want to make this transaction successful to be able to close on time. So they've been incredibly accommodating, sharing information with us on what's happened.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We are working with people that have already built and are continuing to build down there. So the synergies that we've been able to have have been very beneficial. I don't see any big rocks or stumbling blocks that we need to get over. It's just continuing that communication with Bitfarms, to be able to get to the energization. We already had a good relationship with the energy provider, Andate, down there when we hooked up our and had the relationship for the 100 megawatts.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So it's more just working with the existing team that's there, continuing to check things off the box from both a due diligence point of view and making sure that we've got operational people that are ready to run the facility. From what I understand, our imports that we have to come in for the remaining equipment to get that facility up and running is all working well. We are looking at the purchases of ASIC equipment that we already made for our existing facility and taking a look at both our 200 megawatts with bit farms and our 100 megawatt that we had announced for our own, what's the most strategic and best utilization of that equipment to get energization as quickly as possible, across the two facilities in Paraguay?

[Darren Aftahi, Senior Research Analyst-Internet, Media and Enabling Technologies at Roth Capital Partners, LLC]

Great. Appreciate that detailed response. If I could sneak one more in, just maybe for Aiden. On the AI cloud business, since the DeepSeek stuff kind of came out, I mean, have you seen any changes in the demand environment, good, bad and different? Kind of curious

[Darren Aftahi, Senior Research Analyst-Internet, Media and Enabling Technologies at Roth Capital Partners, LLC]

on your thoughts there.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

I think Ian might be having some audio problems unless he's talking and I can't hear him.

[Nathan Fast, Director of Marketing and Branding at HIVE Digital Technologies]

All right. We'll go ahead to our next question. Apologies for the audio difficulties. Brett from Cantor, if you would please unmute yourself and proceed with your question.

[Analyst]

Uh-huh.

[Nathan Fast, Director of Marketing and Branding at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We will move to Nick from B. Riley. Nick, please unmute yourself and proceed with your question.

[Analyst]

My first question, guys, congrats on the progress so far, first of all. But, Frank, you talked about the change in administration giving you the comfort to move the head office to San Antonio. Obviously, you have an impressive growth pathway in Paraguay, but has the change in administration impacted your desire to own operating assets in The U. S?

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

I don't think Frank was able to make it on the call this morning, but it definitely has changed Hyve's viewpoint on The United States prior to the current administration's come in, as everyone is aware. It was challenging to not know what was around the corner with any regulation in The United States. You had Gensler going after everybody that either had blockchain, crypto, or anything in their name. They made it extremely difficult through Chokepoint two point zero to get anything done. Having the new administration have it's very clear that the new administration loves crypto.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

They're putting out their own they're trying to put out their own ETFs. They brought in a SEC chair that's a lot more friendly to the blockchain and cryptocurrency environment. They actually have a crypto czar. So any kind of additional spotlight that can be put on the sector. A lot more adoption will be happening in The United States, and I think it becomes a lot more mainstream.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So when you've got states taking a look at how they're going to handle crypto, having the national environment a little bit more friendly can only benefit what can be useful for Bitcoin miners. Over the last seven years that I've been with the company, I've just taken a look at different things in The United States. We've moved into, we're the first ones to be dual listed. There was always an underlying, I'll say for myself, discomfort because you didn't know where the lines were drawn operating in The United States. I think over the next four years, there's a great opportunity for The United States to get regulation in, make it a lot more mainstream.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

So no matter who is in power four years from now, we'll have the guardrails to make this industry incredibly special and incredibly booming, past Trump's presidency. And from a CFO point of view, I welcome regulation. Sometimes you don't like it, but at least you know where the guardrails are and you know where you can go and where you can't go. In prior administration, you didn't know where those guardrails were because they would just come in and make up the rules as they came along, whether they were lawful or not.

[Analyst]

Yoshi, thanks for those comments. My second question, if I may, was correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you alluded to the potential for some site conversion in the existing portfolio more geared towards the HPC side. So I just was hoping to get any additional color on what kind of work has been done for potential co location opportunities or have you come up with any CapEx per megawatt estimates? Any additional color you might add? Thanks a lot.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Yes. On that, Nick, in terms of the actual numbers, I'd have to defer to the operations team, but I know that we have been looking at our flagship facility up in Boden, Sweden. There is a small actually beside our flagship facility, we've been doing analysis. We brought in a consultant to take a look at what what it would cost to repurpose that from basic mining, doing cryptocurrency to doing the HPC and we've also taken a look at that in our New Brunswick facility. To be able to look at the energy that is available to the company and make the best use of it.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We could just say, keep it completely separate and say, okay, we're only going to work with outside parties for our Tier three. But using our existing facilities and saying, what's the best purpose of that electricity that we have? And is that better used to do high performance computing or for Bitcoin mining. One thing that we need to take into account is if we're doing HPC, it has to be up 100% of the time. So, we have to in addition to the CapEx that would take to get it to a Tier three level, including the redundancy of power, redundancy of the fiber optics, all that, we've got to make sure that it's an environment where we can have useful low cost energy, but it's stable energy.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We can't have it in a location where we're going to be curtailed, because we just can't afford to have the power going down. You got to make sure that you've got it 99.97% or whatever the amount is to making it keep up there. But we have had engineers come in, do some analysis and provided us with some estimates in terms of what that would take. So we'd love to be able to do those in our own facilities. And then outside of our own facilities, we're continuing to look for sourcing locations to do our own HPC, owning the property, owning our own facility so that we don't have to rely on any landlords.

[Analyst]

Thanks again, Darcy, and keep up the good work.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Thanks, Nick.

[Nathan Fast, Director of Marketing and Branding at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Hey, thank you for that question. In the interest of time, we will accept one more question from the line of Joe from Canaccord. Please go ahead and unmute yourself, Joe.

[Joseph Vafi, Managing Director, Equity Research at Canaccord Genuity - Global Capital Markets]

Hey, Darcy. And I'm not sure if Aydin and Frank are still on, but Yes, I'm

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

here, Joe.

[Darcy Daubaras, Chief Financial Officer at HIVE Digital Technologies]

Oh, great. Yes, nice to see all I hear a technical question coming, so I'm glad Aydin is here.

[Joseph Vafi, Managing Director, Equity Research at Canaccord Genuity - Global Capital Markets]

I mean, I may not go into a technical question, but nice to see all the progress and the expected ramp here on Exahash. Maybe I'll just throw one question in. As the business is about to get a lot larger and looks like it's going to be throwing off more profit. Just wondering how you consider maybe the use of debt moving forward as a funding mechanism to grow the business relative to, for example, using the ATM and it's working. But if you were to employ some debt, maybe you could grow a little more accretively and with a bigger P and L, you'd be able to service some debt.

[Joseph Vafi, Managing Director, Equity Research at Canaccord Genuity - Global Capital Markets]

So, just wondering what the most updated thoughts are on using a little bit more of the cap structure of the balance sheet here? Thanks a lot.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

We saw a lot of convertible debt deals done in the last quarter of twenty twenty four, and we've spoken to different institutions on those lines. But what we noticed was a lot of those debt deals had use of proceeds that were diminished from the total amount borrowed. So for example, we see convert deals done for $500,000,000 6 hundred million dollars but cap calls and share buybacks were also included in that structure. And as you know, these are detailed in everybody's press releases. And so $600,000,000 deal might only have $350,000,000 to $400,000,000 of proceeds to say buy bitcoin if that's what the debt was for.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And so down the road at the end of the term, you're still going to have to repay the $600,000,000 So it seemed to be trendy or popular because there was a lot of liquidity that that was opening, like doing those securitized debt deals was opening up. But what if things don't pan out? Like a lot of these debt deals were done to buy Bitcoin. And so what if that doesn't pan out perfectly, but if Bitcoin doesn't go to $200,000 So right now, we've got a strong balance sheet and we've got, I think, little under $100,000,000 left on the ATM, 100,000,000 beyond that on the base shelf and as well we've got roughly $250,000,000 over $250,000,000 Bitcoin on the balance sheet. So, we always look at the cheapest cost of capital.

[Aydin Kilic, President & CEO at HIVE Digital Technologies]

And if there is a good debt deal, which by the way in the HPC world, it is a different ecosystem. It's different than financing Bitcoin expansions or operations. So, there are potential opportunities there that are more conventional sort of debt financing options. But, yes, we always look for the lowest cost capital.

[Joseph Vafi, Managing Director, Equity Research at Canaccord Genuity - Global Capital Markets]

Great. Thanks very much, Aydin. Congrats on all the progress.

[Nathan Fast, Director of Marketing and Branding at HIVE Digital Technologies]
