Secured Dedicated GPU Financing
Closed a $3.6 billion delayed-draw term loan for GPU financing (expected interest <6%), structured to amortize over 5 years and secured against GPUs and contracted Microsoft cash flows. Management noted the effective average cost of funding for portions of the GPUs is ~3% when factoring Microsoft prepayments.
Microsoft Contract Funding Coverage
Financing plus customer prepayments (Microsoft $1.9 billion) provide coverage for ~95% of GPU-related CapEx supporting the $9.7 billion, 5-year AI contract with Microsoft (compute CapEx cited as $5.8 billion).
ARR and GPU Deployment Targets
On track to deliver 140,000 GPUs by end of 2026, positioning IREN to reach a $3.4 billion annualized run-rate revenue (ARR) by end-2026; currently ~ $2.3 billion ARR under contract (including ~$0.4–0.5 billion at Prince George).
Large Secured Power Portfolio and New Site
Secured total grid-connected power >4.5 gigawatts, including a newly secured 1.6 GW campus in Oklahoma (2,000 acres, ramp commencing 2028) and affirmed 2.0 GW (Sweetwater) interconnection; management emphasized power is not a constraint.
Operational Execution and Data Center Progress
810 megawatts of operating data centers (air-cooled) available for immediate AI deployments; construction milestones progressing on Prince George, Mackenzie, Canal Flats, Childress and Sweetwater with Sweetwater 1 energization on track for Q2.
Strong Funding and Liquidity Position
Ended January with ~$2.8 billion cash and ~ $9.2 billion of FY-to-date secured funding from customer prepayments, convertible notes (including $2.3 billion in December), GPU leasing and other financing, demonstrating diversified capital access.
Robust Customer Demand and Commercial Momentum
Management reports multiple advanced negotiations with hyperscalers and enterprises, rising interest in air-cooled deployments (faster timelines), longer tenors and willingness to provide prepayments; demand not viewed as the constraint.
Vertical Integration and Human Capital
Vertically integrated model (design, build, operate) with >2,000 employees and multi-year EPC/supply relationships cited as a competitive advantage enabling predictable execution and capacity delivery.
