First Quarter 2026 Financial Results Review
Revenue decreased from $11.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 ("Q1 fiscal 2025") to $11.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 ("Q1 fiscal 2026"). The decrease in revenue is attributable to a $1.8 million decrease in digital currency mining revenues, partially offset by other revenue of $1.5 million related to an energy efficiency incentive. The decrease in mining revenue is the result of lower average Bitcoin economics in Q1 fiscal 2026 compared to Q1 fiscal 2025.
Operating and maintenance expenses for Q1 fiscal 2026 were $6.7 million, consistent with Q1 fiscal 2025. General and administrative costs for Q1 fiscal 2026 were $1.9 million, consistent with Q1 fiscal 2025 general and administrative costs of $1.8 million. The main driver of the increase was higher consulting fees during Q1 fiscal 2026 as the Company makes investments in its AI strategy. Research costs for Q1 fiscal 2026 were $0.6 million which remained relatively stable compared to $0.6 million for Q1 fiscal 2025.
Depreciation for Q1 fiscal 2026 was $3.5 million compared to $4.3 million in Q1 fiscal 2025. The $0.8 million decrease is primarily driven by the declining balance depreciation method, which results in higher depreciation charges immediately following asset activation. There were significant additions in fiscal 2023 and early in fiscal 2024 which resulted in higher depreciation expense for Q1 fiscal 2025 as compared to Q1 fiscal 2026.
Net loss decreased by $0.9 million from a net loss of $3.1 million for Q1 fiscal 2025 to a net loss of $2.2 million for Q1 fiscal 2026. The reduced loss is primarily a result of a reduced operating loss resulting from the energy incentive payment and foreign exchange.
Net income/loss and comprehensive income/loss decreased by $28.7 million from income of $12.2 million in Q1 fiscal 2025 to a loss of $16.5 million in Q1 fiscal 2026. This is primarily the result of a $15.3 million unrealized revaluation gain in Q1 fiscal 2025 compared to a $14.3 million unrealized valuation loss in Q1 fiscal 2026, partially offset by the $0.9 million reduction in net loss.
Total assets as of December 31, 2025 were $122.0 million (September 30, 2025 - $132.0 million), a decrease of $10.0 million. The decrease is attributable to the $6.0 million decrease in valuation of its digital assets and $3.1 million decrease in its fixed assets as a result of depreciation.
