MIAMI, Nov. 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 third quarter of 2026.
Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: "In the third quarter, we executed our power-first strategy at greater scale, broadening our origination program across geographies, entering into definitive agreements to acquire two energized sites in Texas, fully commercializing our Beacon Point campus, advancing the construction of our two AI data center campuses, and expanding our funding capacity in a manner designed to minimize recourse to the parent and dilution to shareholders.
"Today, our pipeline is more advanced, with more than a gigawatt of additional capacity under exclusivity, and more diversified, with less concentration in any single region. Construction at both River Bend and Beacon Point remains on track to meet our delivery targets, and we expect these projects to be funded entirely at the project level, without requiring equity issuance or recourse debt at the parent. Partner conviction has deepened, with our tenant at Beacon Point doubling its contracted capacity at the campus, and with a syndicate of lenders committing more than $1 billion of credit for future growth. And our shareholders now own a larger share of a growing platform following share repurchases funded with Bitcoin from our balance sheet.
"We view each project we undertake as an obligation to the tenants, lenders, communities, and shareholders to whom we have committed. The first of those obligations comes due with the delivery of the first data hall at River Bend in the second quarter of 2027, and meeting each of them across our development pipeline is how we intend to build an enduring, generational business at the intersection of energy and technology."
Third Quarter 2026 Highlights

Adjusted EBITDA inclusive of digital assets mark-to-market for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $350.3 million, compared to $109.0 million in the prior-year period. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to net income or net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, and explanations of these measures are provided in the tables included below in this press release.
Stock Repurchase Program
On December 4, 2024, as part of its capital management strategy, the Company launched a $250.0 million stock repurchase program (the "Stock Repurchase Program") with respect to its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") with no expiration date. On November 2, 2026, the Company's board of directors approved an additional $750.0 million under the Stock Repurchase Program, increasing the total authorization to $1.0 billion. All other terms of the program remain unchanged.
Under applicable Canadian securities regulations, the number of shares that the Company can repurchase at any time may not exceed 5.0% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock during the preceding 12 month period. As of November 2, 2026, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available to repurchase under this limit (before reducing for any prior repurchases within 12 months) is 6,001,877. The Company expects that any repurchases will be made through the facilities of Nasdaq at prevailing market prices, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

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, and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate the business, measure the Company's performance, and make strategic decisions.
Adjusted EBITDA, Inclusive of Digital Assets Mark-to-Market
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of digital assets mark-to-market, as net income or loss adjusted for interest expense, interest income, income tax provision or benefit, depreciation and amortization, our share of unconsolidated joint venture depreciation and amortization, foreign exchange gain or loss, gain or loss on the sale of property, equipment, and other assets, loss or gain on derivatives and other financial liabilities, gain on other investments, non-recurring transactions, income or loss attributable to non-controlling interest, 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 gain or loss on digital assets attributable to Hut 8 Corp., which removes the effect of mark-to-market fluctuations of digital assets held on the Company's balance sheet. Periodic appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of such digital assets is primarily driven by changes in market prices and does not reflect the results from 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), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), and other items (such as non-recurring transactions mentioned above). The Company excludes gains or losses on the sale of assets and gains or losses on other investments because these items arise from transactions or valuation changes outside the Company's core operating activities and, in management's view, excluding them facilitates comparisons of the Company's operating performance across periods. 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. Investors are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons the Company's board of directors and management 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, 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.
