Non-GAAP Financial Measures This investor update includes non-GAAP financial measures, including net electricity costs, net electricity costs per Bitcoin mined, hardware profit, hardware profit margin, Bitcoin Mining annualized revenue and AI Cloud annualized revenue. We provide these measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. For example, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently. The Company believes that these measures are important and supplement discussions and analysis of its results of operations and enhances an understanding of its operating performance. Net electricity costs are calculated as GAAP electricity charges, demand response program revenue and demand response fees. Figures are based on current internal estimates and excludes the cost of RECs. Net electricity costs per Bitcoin mined is calculated as Net electricity costs for Bitcoin mining divided by Bitcoin mined. Hardware Profit is calculated as revenue less net electricity costs (excludes all other site, overhead and REC costs). Hardware Profit Margin is calculated as revenue less net electricity costs divided by revenue (excludes all other site, overhead and REC costs).
