Cipher Mining reports Q1 adjusted EPS 2c, consensus 4c

Reports Q1 revenue $49M, consensus $51.52M. “The first quarter was marked by disciplined execution and steady progress as we advanced our 2025 expansion plans,” said Tyler Page, CEO. “Notably, we’re thrilled to have partnered with Fortress, a best-in-class financing partner, to develop a next-generation data center at Barber Lake. Fortress will not only bring extensive experience in data center development, but also a strong network of relationships with hyperscalers that complements our active discussions. We are nearing completion of the Black Pearl Data Center’s Phase I core and shell, and all four substation transformers are now onsite. Given the accelerated progress and expected energization in May, we’ve decided to immediately deploy rigs from inventory at the newly constructed site while we await the arrival of new machines expected later this summer. This strategic decision will bring approximately 2.5 exahashes per second online one quarter earlier than anticipated through the efficient use of idle assets at no additional capital expenditure to the company. Cipher’s strong treasury management, disciplined approach to growth, and site flexibility continue to give me confidence in our ability to navigate a dynamic market environment and drive long-term success,” said Mr. Page.
