Cigna earnings beat by $0.04, revenue topped estimates
SYDNEY - IREN Limited (NASDAQ: IREN), a data center company specializing in Bitcoin mining and AI cloud services with a market capitalization of $1.58 billion, announced today that it will restate its financial statements for the fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024, as well as certain interim periods within 2024. According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated impressive revenue growth of 133% over the last twelve months, though analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations downward. This decision follows a review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is based on recommendations from the Audit and Risk Committee and the Board of Directors.
The restatement will reclassify proceeds from the sales of mined Bitcoin from operating activities to investing activities, aligning with the International Accounting Standards (IAS) 7.16(b) guidelines. This adjustment is in preparation for the company’s transition to reporting under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) as it moves towards U.S. domestic filer status within the year.
IREN emphasized that this restatement does not reflect a change in its operational performance, nor does it affect the company’s profit or loss statements, financial position, changes in equity, or cash and cash equivalents for the periods in question. The restatements are described in detail in the company’s amended filings on EDGAR, including Form 20-F/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, and Forms 6-K/A for the first and second quarter interim results of fiscal year 2025.
The company’s forward-looking statements indicate plans to expand its Bitcoin mining capacity to 52 EH/s and its data center operations from 510MW to 910MW by 2025, using 100% renewable energy. IREN also reported having secured a significant development portfolio with 2,910MW of grid-connected power across North America. The company maintains strong operational efficiency with a remarkable 90.06% gross profit margin, though InvestingPro analysis indicates rapid cash burn rates that investors should monitor.

These forward-looking statements, however, are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including fluctuations in Bitcoin prices, the ability to secure additional capital, and the challenges of entering new markets such as high-performance computing solutions. While IREN holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, InvestingPro analysis reveals high stock price volatility with a beta of 3.65. IREN’s future financial and operational performance may differ materially from these projections due to these and other factors.
