San Antonio, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - June 2, 2026) - HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSX: HIVE) (NASDAQ: HIVE) (FSE: YO0) (BVC: HIVECO) (referred to as the "Company" or "HIVE"), a global leader in sustainable data center infrastructure, announces its results for the full year ended March 31, 2026 (all amounts in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated).

FY2026 Financial Highlights:

• Total Revenue: $297.8 million, from digital currency mining ($278.3 million) and high-performance computing (HPC) hosting services ($19.5 million).

• Digital Currency Revenue: $278.3 million, up 164% year-over-year driven by an approximately four-fold increase in installed operational hashrate and higher average Bitcoin prices (FY2026 average of $98,040 vs. $75,881 in FY2025).

• Bitcoin Production: 2,885 Bitcoin mined during the fiscal year, up 104% from 1,414 Bitcoin in FY2025, materially outpacing the approximately 42% increase in average network difficulty (from 95.7T in FY2025 to 135.8T in FY2026). As of March 31, 2026, HIVE's total installed hashrate was 25.1 EH/s, or approximately 24.5 EH/s after accounting for controlled downclocking for fleet optimization.

• HPC Revenue: HIVE's BUZZ HPC business generated a record $19.5 million, up 94% from $10.0 million in FY2025, driven by the deployment of the NVIDIA H200 GPU cluster and strong demand on GPU marketplace.

• Gross Operating Margins: $107.9 million (36% margin), versus $25.1 million (22% margin) in FY2025 - a 14 percentage-point expansion reflecting operating leverage on the 300 MW Paraguay expansion and HPC gross margin expansion to approximately 40%.

• G&A: $31.4 million, up from $16.6 million in FY2025 primarily as a result of increased staff to support HIVE's global expansion in digital currency mining, particularly in Paraguay, and the growth of its BUZZ HPC business.

• GAAP Net Loss: $148.4 million, of which approximately $221.3 million is non-cash, comprising $170.4 million of depreciation and $50.9 million of net non-cash adjustments (primarily share-based compensation, change in fair value of BTC equipment-deposit derivatives, and unrealized loss on investments, partially offset by net realized and unrealized gains on digital currencies and sales-tax recovery).

• Adjusted EBITDA¹: $72.9 million or 24% of total revenue.

• Digital Assets: $10.8 million in total digital currency holdings on March 31, 2026, including 150 Bitcoin.

Q4 FY2026 Financial Highlights:

• Total Revenue: $71.8 million, from digital currency mining and high-performance computing (HPC) hosting services.

• Bitcoin Mining Revenue: $67.2 million, down 23.9% sequentially from fiscal Q3 2026 driven by an approximately 27% decline in average Bitcoin price (Q4 average of $76,476 vs. approximately $98,000 in Q3²) and an approximately 27% year-over-year increase in average network difficulty (140.7T vs. 111.2T), partially offset by higher average operational hashrate following the completion of Paraguay Phase 3 in November 2025.

• Bitcoin Production: 876 Bitcoin mined in Q4 2026, broadly in line with the prior quarter as record operational hashrate from the completion of Paraguay Phase 3 offset continued increases in global network difficulty.

• HPC Revenue: $4.6 million, marginally below Q3 FY2026 as the deployment of HIVE's 504 NVIDIA B200 GPU cluster at Bell Canada's AI Fabric facility shifted from March to May 2026, but up 54% year-over-year from $3.0 million in Q4 FY2025, driven by a full quarter of revenue contribution from the previously deployed NVIDIA H200 GPU cluster, an approximate doubling of GPU marketplace revenue, and additional revenue from new bare-metal customer contracts.

• Gross Operating Margins: $17.5 million in gross operating margin or 24%.

• G&A: $9.4 million, up slightly from $8.4 million in Q3 FY2026 reflecting continued investment in personnel to support Paraguay operations and HIVE's BUZZ HPC growth.

• GAAP Net Loss: $83.3 million, of which approximately $74.7 million is non-cash, comprising $52.7 million of depreciation and $30.6 million of non-cash adjustments.

• Adjusted EBITDA¹: ($9.0) million, reflecting Q4 hashprice compression as Bitcoin declined sharply from its October all-time high through quarter-end and global network difficulty climbed to record levels, together with non-cash foreign-exchange translation losses on multi-jurisdictional balances.

Management Insights

Frank Holmes, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman: "Fiscal 2026 marked a defining year for HIVE. As one of the first publicly traded Bitcoin miners to invest in GPU cloud computing and AI infrastructure, we began building a diversified dual-engine growth strategy years ago. In fiscal 2026, we significantly expanded both sides of our platform, increasing our Bitcoin mining hashrate from 6.5 EH/s to 25.1 EH/s and growing contracted HPC ARR to $35 million. This growth translated into strong financial results, with revenue increasing 158% to $297.8 million, gross operating margin increasing 329% to $107.9 million and adjusted EBITDA reaching $72.9 million.

Our Paraguay expansion transformed HIVE into one of the world's largest operators of green-energy-powered Bitcoin mining infrastructure, while our BUZZ HPC grew contracted ARR³ to $35 million and established HIVE as an emerging leader in Canadian AI infrastructure. With a clear pathway to $660 million of ARR by year-end 2028, anchored by our planned 320 MW AI Gigafactory in the Greater Toronto Area ("GTA"), the largest planned Canadian AI infrastructure project under private ownership, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for AI infrastructure.

Looking ahead, HIVE sits at the intersection of two powerful technology trends: Bitcoin and AI. Our mandate remains unchanged: disciplined, high-ROIC growth powered by 100% green energy. We believe the investments we have made over the past several years position HIVE for one of the most significant growth periods in our history. I would like to thank our shareholders, our employees, and our partners for their continued trust."

Aydin Kilic, President & CEO: "We are data-center builders and operators with a strong pedigree in orchestrating compute, whether GPU- or ASIC-based. Our network, firmware and high-voltage engineering skill sets cover the core competencies required to excel in this rapidly evolving sector. Our global controls and processes are often best-in-class, evidenced by BUZZ Cloud's fastest download speeds⁴ and HIVE's BTC-per-EH/s production, top ranked amongst other miners⁵.

In 2025, we built 300 MW of hydro-powered Tier-I data center capacity in Paraguay. This capacity was brought online within six months and included the construction and commissioning of two large substations.

This year, we have announced a 320 MW site in the GTA, which will be home to Canada's largest AI data center under private ownership and, with capacity for 100,000 NVIDIA GPUs, will be a true Gigafactory. Along with our 70 MW Grand Falls, New Brunswick site and 7 MW Toronto Airport site, we have approximately 400 MW of HPC Tier-III data center capacity in Canada that we look to energize over the next 18 months.

We successfully executed one of the largest expansion programs in HIVE's history while continuing to scale our AI infrastructure platform. Our first liquid-cooled NVIDIA B200 GPU cluster with Bell Canada AI Fabric is now live and contributing approximately $15 million of incremental ARR, increasing our contracted HPC ARR from approximately $20 million to $35 million. This deployment validates both the strength of demand for AI infrastructure and our ability to deliver enterprise-grade compute solutions for leading customers.

The pace of execution across both businesses has been extraordinary. We are also doubling the size of our GPU cloud this year, from approximately 5,500 NVIDIA GPUs to approximately 11,000 GPUs under management by the end of calendar 2026, which is expected to generate over $200 million of AI Cloud ARR."

Darcy Daubaras, CFO: "The financial results from fiscal 2026 highlight the operating leverage embedded in HIVE's business model. Revenue increased 158% year-over-year to $297.8 million, gross operating margin expanded to 36.2%, and cash from operations increased 3.5-fold to $62.3 million. Our annual return on invested capital of 13.3% reflects the discipline with which we deploy capital and compares favorably with our publicly listed peers. The GAAP net loss of $148.4 million was largely attributable to non-cash items, including depreciation and other accounting adjustments. After year-end, we closed $115 million of 0% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2031, generating net proceeds of approximately $109.5 million. In connection with the financing, we also entered into capped-call transactions designed to mitigate potential dilution up to a 125% premium to our April reference price. We exit the year with a fully funded Paraguay buildout, a growing HPC pipeline, and the balance-sheet flexibility to pursue the highest-return opportunities across our Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure platforms."

Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures presented under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we consistently evaluate our use of and calculation of non-GAAP financial measures such as gross operating margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. HIVE's Board of Directors and management use these non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP metrics to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company, and to better understand the Company's core operating results across fiscal reporting periods. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, while not a substitute for GAAP measures, provide investors with (i) an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company and (ii) greater transparency of the key performance metrics used by management with respect to operational and financial decision making.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are provided as supplemental information to the Company's performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for US GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under US GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers. Because of the non-standardized nature of non-GAAP financial measures, HIVE's presentation herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ON A PERIOD END BASIS

(1) Non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation to its nearest US GAAP measures is provided under "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures" below.

(2) Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on digital currencies is calculated as the change in fair value (gain or loss) on the coin inventory, and the gain (loss) on the sale of digital currencies which is the net difference between the proceeds and the carrying value of the digital currency.

Gross Operating Margin

The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP, it is helpful to management, the board and investors to use the gross operating margin to evaluate the Company's performance and its ability to generate cash flows and service debt. The gross operating margin is defined as total revenue less direct cash costs, being operating and maintenance costs and high-performance computing service fees

The following table provides illustration of the calculation of the gross operating margin for the last three fiscal years:

The following table provides illustration of the calculation of the gross operating margin for the last five quarters:

(1) As presented on the statements of (loss) income and comprehensive income (loss).

EBITDA & Adjusted EBITDA

The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a metric that is useful to management, the board and investors for assessing its operating performance on a cash basis before the impact of non-cash items and acquisition related activities.

EBITDA is net income or loss from operations, as reported in profit and loss, before finance income and expense, tax and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for by removing other non-cash items, including share-based compensation, finance expense, depreciation and one-time transactions.

The following table provides illustration of the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the last three fiscal years:

¹ EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should be read in conjunction with, and should not be viewed as alternative to or replacement of measures of operating results and liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Refer to reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure included at the end of this news release.

³ ARR refers to the Company's run rate revenue calculated on an annualized basis. As context dictates, the Company calculates ARR by: (i) multiplying the revenue realized per week times 52 weeks per year, (ii) multiplying the realized revenue per day times 365 days per year, or (iii) multiplying the per quarter times four quarters per year. Projections of ARR may be unreliable as a predictor of future results because such projections typically do not incorporate the possibility of subsequent cancellations, discounts or downgrades in services. We believe that ARR is a key indicator of our future revenue potential. However, ARR does not represent GAAP revenue on an annualized basis, is not intended to be a replacement or forecast of GAAP revenue and should be viewed independently as an operating metric.
