Hut 8 Corp. (HUT)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q3 2025 delivered a revenue beat and strong profitability, driven by Bitcoin price gains and expanded mining capacity through American Bitcoin (ABTC). Revenue was $83.5M vs S&P Global consensus $65.6M; Adjusted EBITDA was $109.0M; diluted EPS from continuing ops was $0.43, while S&P “Primary EPS” printed -$0.046, indicating a beat on S&P EPS as the actual was less negative than expected . Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
  • Operating income rose to $72.7M and net income to $50.6M, supported by $76.6M gains on digital assets and a step-up in compute revenue as hashrate expanded to ~26.8 EH/s (ABTC ~25.0 EH/s at ~16.3 J/TH) .
  • Platform development advanced: 1,530 MW reclassified into “Energy Capacity Under Development” within an 8,650 MW pipeline; Energy Capacity Under Management was 1,020 MW; Bitcoin strategic reserve reached 13,696 BTC ($1.6B) .
  • Near-term catalysts: commercialization of Riverbend (LA) with expected 2026 RFS, continued ABTC scaling, and portfolio optimization including the announced sale of four Ontario natural gas plants (310 MW) to TransAlta to redeploy capital to higher-return digital infrastructure .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Revenue and EBITDA outperformance: Q3 revenue $83.5M vs $43.7M YoY; Adj. EBITDA $109.0M vs $5.6M YoY, reflecting expanded compute operations and digital asset gains .
  • Development pipeline momentum: Advanced 1,530 MW from exclusivity to development, introducing clearer late-stage visibility; CEO: “inflection point in the scale and maturity of our development flywheel” .
  • Balance sheet strategy: New $1B ATM and $200M revolver; strategic Bitcoin reserve to 13,696 BTC; CFO highlighted ~$986M incremental value and liquidity from reserve via price appreciation, credit facilities, and covered calls .

What Went Wrong

  • Power segment revenue declined YoY to $8.4M (from $26.2M) due to managed services wind-down with IONIQ, partially offset by stronger power generation; segment cost of revenue increased with higher output .
  • Consolidation eliminates intercompany revenue: Managed services and ASIC colocation with ABTC are eliminated in consolidation, obscuring underlying Power/Digital Infrastructure economics despite operational activity .
  • Continued dependence on digital asset gains: Net income and EBITDA materially influenced by $76.6M gains on digital assets this quarter, raising volatility concerns for normalized profitability .

Values retrieved from S&P Global.* Note: Company-reported diluted EPS from continuing operations for Q3 was $0.43, which differs from S&P “Primary EPS” framework; differences reflect methodology and normalization conventions .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Q3 beat on revenue and S&P EPS driven by ABTC scale-up and digital asset gains; headline margins strong, but normalized earnings remain sensitive to Bitcoin mark-to-market .
  • Development flywheel entered late-stage execution with 1.53 GW under Development; watch for definitive tenant agreements at Riverbend and other sites as catalysts .
  • Consolidation with ABTC obscures underlying Power/Digital Infrastructure revenue; consider sum-of-the-parts framing with ABTC market value and contracted infrastructure economics .
  • Capital capacity increased (ATM $1B, revolver $200M); management favors non-recourse project financing—reduces enterprise risk while funding scale .
  • Operational risk mitigated via supply-chain planning (common gear reserve) and modular designs; supports aggressive timelines under industry-wide power constraints .
  • Strategic reserve (13,696 BTC) enhances liquidity and optionality; covered calls and credit lines add right-way risk and flexible funding .
  • Portfolio optimization underway (sale of Ontario plants to TransAlta) to redeploy toward higher-return data center opportunities—expect capital allocation discipline to remain a core theme .
