Question
Mike Colonnese from H.C. Wainwright & Co. asked for details on the $400 million total CapEx for Panther Creek, its implications for deal economics, and the process required to convert its Quebec Bitcoin mining sites to HPC data centers.
Answer
CFO Jeff Lucas stated the $400 million CapEx is an estimate for a full build-out ready for large GPUs, which may vary by customer. CEO Ben Gagnon added they are optimizing for both ROIC and long-term revenue. Regarding Quebec, Gagnon explained that converting mining megawatts to data center megawatts requires a novel regulatory approval process. While politically supported, the timeline is uncertain, with a tentative target of 2027-2028 for conversion.
