James Manning, CEO commented, “December was a record month for Mawson’s energy market revenue, at approximately $4 million. This brought our equivalent BTC production to approximately 261.83 for the month, or 8.44 per day.¹ This is approximately equivalent to the BTC revenue that could have been produced by 2.2 Exahash of mining in the month of December. This additional source of revenue has given Mawson an advantage through the past 6 months. Through the last 6 months this program has delivered unaudited revenue of $13.9 million. Our expansion at the Midland, Pennsylvania site continues to move forward at speed, with an online date still within Q1, 2023. The first MDCs have been delivered to our Sharon, Pennsylvania site, and we look forward to communicating the online date with our shareholders in the near future. Combined, these first containers have a total capacity of up to approximately 12 MW.²”

Statements about hashrate capacity

Statements in the press release about hashrate capacity (including ‘installed capacity’) or ‘nameplate’ capacity, will often differ from the actual or observed hashrates. Hashrate capacity or ‘nameplate’ capacity generally makes certain assumptions about the efficiency of the ASIC miners that are in use. Some ASIC miner models will consume less power to create the same amount of hashing power than other ASIC miner models (typically more recent models are more efficient). Many ASIC miner fleets are blended fleets, including various ASIC miner models each with different efficiency ratings. Hashrate capacity figures typically assume 100% deployment of ASIC miners. Given the large numbers of computing units (often numbering in the tens of thousands), ASIC mining fleets are rarely 100% deployed and online at any one time. This can be due to a variety of factors, including ASIC miners being under maintenance, in repair workshops, in storage, in transit, or due to technical faults and breakdowns. Once deployed and online, the actual or observed hashrate can be influenced by other factors such as heat, overclocking (causing the ASIC miner to perform at levels higher than the manufacturer’s specifications), the age, and wear and tear exhibited by the ASIC miners and also by the limitations of the surrounding infrastructure, such as power outages, and MDC and transformer breakdowns. Construction and development delays are a common risk for mining data centers, for example due to weather, permitting delays, or labor and equipment shortages. Investors should consider all risk factors related to uptime when considering these figures, which are a best-case scenario. The above information is for general information purposes only, and are forward looking statements which should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Mawson takes no responsibility for the accuracy of third-party information, including websites.
