MIAMI, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq, TSX: HUT) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026.

Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: "In the second quarter, our power-first model drove significant commercial and financial milestones across our first two AI data center campuses. To date, it has produced data center leases representing 949 MW of contracted IT capacity, approximately $26.6 billion of expected aggregate base-term value leased or backstopped by investment-grade counterparties, more than $1.75 billion of expected average annual NOI, and $7.5 billion of investment-grade construction financing.

"Three milestones during the quarter and the weeks that followed demonstrated our momentum. At Beacon Point, our existing high-investment-grade tenant returned within months of the Phase 1 lease to commit to a second 352 MW IT lease, commercializing the campus's full one-gigawatt of utility capacity. In the credit markets, we closed $7.5 billion across two investment-grade offerings in a single quarter, opening with our inaugural River Bend financing and returning weeks later to execute on improved terms for Beacon Point Phase 1. Commitments of this depth from some of the market's most sophisticated counterparties underscore the strength of a model built to perform repeatedly at scale.

"Delivery is now our central priority. We continue to apply the full weight of our organization to deliver River Bend and Beacon Point: operating rigor built through years of developing energy-intensive infrastructure at scale and a team we continue to expand ahead of the growth to come. Bringing these campuses online will put nearly a gigawatt of contracted IT capacity into service and establish the foundation from which we intend to build the defining infrastructure platform of the AI era."

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

Power 

• Generated $1.2 million in second quarter revenue from Power Generation and Managed Services.
• Advanced, following the execution of the Phase 2 lease subsequent to quarter-end, 500 MW of utility capacity from Beacon Point into Energy Capacity Under Construction, increasing total Energy Capacity Under Construction to 1,330 MW, comprising 330 MW at the River Bend campus and 1,000 MW at the Beacon Point campus.

Digital Infrastructure

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to its results determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company relies on Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of digital assets mark-to-market; Adjusted EBITDA; and expected net operating income (NOI) contribution, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate its business, measure its performance, and inform strategic decision-making.

Adjusted EBITDA, Inclusive of Digital Assets Mark-to-Market

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of digital assets mark-to-market, as net loss or income adjusted for interest expense, interest income, income tax benefit or provision, depreciation and amortization, our share of depreciation and amortization from unconsolidated joint ventures, net of basis adjustments, foreign exchange loss or gain, gain on the sale of property and equipment, gain or loss on derivatives, loss on other financial liability, gain on warrant liability, gain on the sale of the Far North joint venture, net of transaction costs, non-recurring transactions, loss or income attributable to non-controlling interests, and stock-based compensation expense.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of digital assets mark-to-market, further adjusted to exclude loss or gain on digital assets attributable to Hut 8 Corp., thereby removing the effect of mark-to-market fluctuations of digital assets held on the Company's balance sheet. The Company's digital assets are considered primarily long-term holdings, and periodic appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of such holdings does not reflect the results of the Company's core operations.

Expected Net Operating Income (NOI) Contribution

The Company defines expected net operating income (NOI) contribution as expected lease revenue attributable to a particular lease, less any non-reimbursable operating expenses attributable to the leased property. 

How the Company Uses These Measures

The Company's board of directors and management team use Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of digital assets mark-to-market, and Adjusted EBITDA to assess the Company's financial performance, as these measures allow for the comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of the Company's capital structure, such as varying levels of interest expense and income, its asset base, such as depreciation and amortization, and other items, including the non-recurring transactions described above. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the impact of changes in the fair value of the Company's digital asset holdings, which may otherwise affect the comparability of the Company's financial results across periods.

The Company's management team uses expected NOI contribution to evaluate the anticipated operating performance of a particular lease, independent of the Company's consolidated capital structure or asset base, allowing management to assess the economics of individual leasing arrangements on a comparable basis. Investors are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment described above and the reasons the Company's Board and management team believe these measures provide useful supplemental information.

Limitations

Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of digital assets mark-to-market, and Adjusted EBITDA. In evaluating these measures, you should be aware that the Company may incur expenses in the future that are the same as, or similar to, certain adjustments reflected in the calculation of these measures. Accordingly, the presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Operating income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to expected NOI contribution. In evaluating this measure, you should be aware that the Company may incur non-reimbursable lease operating expenses that are not currently known or quantifiable. Accordingly, the Company's presentation of expected NOI contribution should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Expected NOI contribution also excludes the impact of selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, each of which has a real economic effect and could materially impact the Company's consolidated financial results. No reconciliation of expected NOI contribution to its most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in this press release because the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in operating income without unreasonable effort, and any such quantification would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

The Company may modify the calculation or presentation of these measures in the future, and any such modification could be material. These measures have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company's results as reported in accordance with GAAP. Because other companies, including companies in the Company's industry and Real Estate Investment Trusts, may calculate similarly titled measures differently, the Company's non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies, which limits their usefulness for comparative purposes.
