San Antonio, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - November 17, 2025) - HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (NASDAQ: HIVE) (FSE: YO0) (referred to as the "Company" or "HIVE"), a global leader in sustainable data center infrastructure, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2025, delivering record revenue of $87.3 million, up 285% year-over-year and 91% quarter-over-quarter. The Company also reported Adjusted EBITDA of $31.5 million, reflecting strong operational execution across both its Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing (HPC) businesses (all amounts in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated).

This quarter marks the strongest dual-engine growth in HIVE's history, driven by the rapid scale-out of its Bitcoin mining fleet to 16.2 EH/s by period end September 30, 2025 (with 25 EH/s operational today) and accelerating demand for BUZZ HPC services.

Q2 FY2026 Financial Highlights:

• Total Revenue: $87.3 million, a 285% increase from $28.7 million in Q2 FY2025, and a 91% sequential increase. Gross operating margin was 48.6%, up from 34.7% in Q1 FY2026. See the calculation of direct costs and mining margin included below in this press release.

• Digital currency mining revenue: $82.1 million, up 101.2% sequentially, reflecting an 86.2% quarter-over-quarter increase in average hashrate to 16.2 EH/s and slightly higher Bitcoin prices. This mining revenue was achieved against direct costs of $42.1 million, of which approximately 88% represents energy costs. See the calculation of direct costs included below in this press release.

• Bitcoin Production: 717 Bitcoin mined in Q2, up 76.6% sequentially despite a 21.4% quarter-over-quarter increase in network difficulty.

• HPC Revenue: Record BUZZ HPC revenue of $5.2 million, up 175% year-over-year and 7.6% quarter-over-quarter, achieved with direct costs of $2.0 million.

• G&A: $7.8 million, up from $5.8 million in Q1 FY2026, primarily due to increased staffing supporting global expansion, including Paraguay and the BUZZ HPC division.

• Gross Operating Margins³: $42.4 million (49%). See the Calculation of gross operating margins included below in this press release.

• Net Income: GAAP net loss of $15.8 million, driven by accelerated two-year depreciation of ASICs used in the Paraguay expansion ($38.3 million depreciation for the quarter) and non-cash losses related to equity investments and derivative revaluations.

• Adjusted EBITDA¹: $31.5 million.

• Balance Sheet: Ended the quarter with $47.0 million in cash and digital currencies.

Management Insights
Frank Holmes, HIVE's Executive Chairman, stated, "This was a defining quarter for HIVE. We delivered record revenue in both our digital currency mining and BUZZ HPC segments. Despite Bitcoin hashprice being up only about 25% year-over-year, our revenue soared 285% year-over-year due to our aggressive hashrate expansion and relentless focus on efficiency. Building 300 MW in Paraguay in just six months shows our ability to deploy large-scale digital infrastructure with speed, discipline, and precision. Our dual-engine strategy — Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing — positions HIVE to be a global leader in next-generation data infrastructure."

Aydin Kilic, President & CEO, stated, "Our teams executed flawlessly. With a sequential 87% increase in operational hash rate for the quarter, and delivering $132.9 million in revenue over the last six months — all with no debt — showcases our disciplined capital strategy and operational excellence. With 25 EH/s of operating hashrate recently achieved, we now have a Bitcoin mining revenue run-rate approaching $400 million at a 50% operating margin after electrical costs. At the same time, we are accelerating our AI data center initiatives across Canada and Europe, laying the groundwork for Tier III+ facilities capable of supporting hyperscale GPU deployments. BUZZ HPC is becoming a powerful growth engine."

Darcy Daubaras, HIVE's CFO, stated, "We are very pleased with our financial performance this quarter. Revenue increased 285% year-over-year, significantly outpacing Bitcoin's modest year-over-year price increase, demonstrating the power of our operational scale. Adjusted EBITDA of $31.5 million underscores the strength of our core business. While accelerated depreciation impacted net income, it reflects our conservative accounting approach and helps maintain a disciplined balance sheet."
