Notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements |
31 December 2024 |
.
Note 1. General information
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements cover IREN Limited as a Group consisting of IREN Limited (“Company” or “Parent Entity”) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the period (collectively the “Group”). On 28 November 2024, the Company changed its name from Iris Energy Limited to IREN Limited.
The Company’s shares trade on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “IREN”.
IREN Limited is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business are:
| | | | | |
Registered office | Principal place of business |
| |
c/o Pitcher Partners | Level 6, 55 Market Street |
Level 13, 664 Collins Street | Sydney NSW 2000 |
Docklands VIC 3008 | Australia |
Australia | |
The Group is a leading next-generation data center business powering the future of Bitcoin, AI and beyond.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 12 February 2025. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Material accounting policies
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2024 (‘last annual financial statements’). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the policies stated below.
Functional currency
Effective 1 July 2024, the Parent Company has changed its functional currency from AUD to USD. This change reflects the increase in USD-denominated activities and US-based investments, including capital raising in USD, capital and operational expenditures and revenues. The change has been accounted for prospectively, and prior period comparative figures have not been restated, in accordance with IAS 21.
Assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.
Assets held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognized in profit and loss.
Once classified as held for sale, property plan and equipment are no longer depreciated.
Hybrid financial instruments (convertible notes and embedded derivatives)
Hybrid financial instruments are separated into the host liability and embedded derivative components based on the terms of the agreement. On issuance, the liability component of the hybrid financial instrument is initially recognized at the fair
| | | | | |
IREN Limited | |
Notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements |

Note 2. Material accounting policies (continued)
value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The embedded derivative component is initially recognized at fair value and changes in the fair value are recorded in profit or loss. The host debt is carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method until it is extinguished on conversion or redemption. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and embedded derivative components in proportion to their initial carrying amount.
Going concern
The Group has determined there is material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern but has concluded it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities, the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The operating cash flows generated by the Group are inherently linked to several key uncertainties and risks including, but not limited to, volatility associated with the economics of Bitcoin mining and the ability of the Group to execute its business plan.
For the six months ended 31 December 2024, the Group incurred a loss after tax of $32,825,000 (31 December 2023: $10,527,000) and net operating cash inflows of $49,864,000 (31 December 2023: $21,246,000). As at 31 December 2024, the Group had net current liabilities of $33,852,000 (30 June 2024: net current assets of $401,389,000) and net assets of $1,286,271,000 (30 June 2024: net assets of $1,097,351,000).
Included in the net current liabilities position of $33,852,000 as at 31 December 2024, are convertible notes and embedded derivative liabilities of $318,214,000 and $67,800,000 respectively. Under IFRS 9 and IAS 1, these instruments are required to be classified as current liabilities due to the related conversion option that may be exercised by the noteholders within twelve months of the reporting period date. If the conversion option is exercised by the noteholders within twelve months, these liabilities are expected to be settled in ordinary shares of the company and are not expected to result in a cash outflow from the Group (excluding any accrued coupon interest). See note 14 for additional details on the convertible notes, embedded derivatives and their associated conversion options.
As further background, the Group owns mining hardware that is designed specifically to mine Bitcoin and its future success will depend in a large part upon the value of Bitcoin, and any sustained decline in its value could adversely affect the business and results of operations. Specifically, the revenues from Bitcoin mining operations are predominantly based upon two factors: (i) the number of Bitcoin rewards that are successfully mined and (ii) the value of Bitcoin. A decline in the market price of Bitcoin, increases in the difficulty of Bitcoin mining, changes in the regulatory environment, and/or adverse changes in other inherent risks may significantly negatively impact the Group’s operations. Due to the volatility of the Bitcoin price and the effects of the other aforementioned factors, there can be no guarantee that future mining operations will be profitable, or the Group will be able to raise capital to meet growth objectives.
The strategy to mitigate these risks and uncertainties is to try to execute a business plan aimed at operational efficiency, revenue growth, improving overall mining profit, managing operating expenses and working capital requirements, maintaining potential capital expenditure optionality, and securing additional financing, as needed, through one or more debt and/or equity capital raisings. We are also pursuing a strategy to expand and diversify our revenue streams into new markets. Pursuant to that strategy, we are increasing our focus on diversification into HPC solutions, including the provision of AI cloud services.
The continuing viability of the Group and its ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and commitments as they fall due are therefore significantly dependent upon several factors. These factors have been considered in preparing a cash flow forecast over the next 12 months to consider the going concern of the Group. The key assumptions include:
•A base case scenario assuming recent Bitcoin mining economics including Bitcoin prices and global hashrate;
•Expansion of operations at the Childress site, Texas with installed nameplate capacity of 350MW as at 31 December 2024 incrementally increasing to 650MW by 30 June 2025 and 750MW by 31 December 2025;
•Three operational sites in British Columbia, Canada with installed nameplate capacity of 160MW; 80MW Mackenzie, 50MW Prince George and 30MW Canal Flats;
•1,896 GPUs installed with projected revenue based on existing contracted prices and recent market pricing of AI cloud services provided to customers;
•Securing additional financing as required to achieve the Group’s growths objectives.
The key assumptions have been stress tested using a range of Bitcoin price and global hashrate. The Group aims to maintain a degree of flexibility in both operating and capital expenditure cash flow management where it practicably makes

sense, including ongoing internal cash flow monitoring and projection analysis performed to identify potential liquidity risks arising and to try to respond accordingly.
As a result, the Group has concluded there is material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Group considers that it will be successful in the above matters and will have adequate cash reserves to enable it to meet its obligations for at least one year from the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements, and, accordingly, has prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements, which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. Although IFRS 18 includes many of the requirements of IAS 1, it introduces new requirements to better structure financial statements and provides more detailed and useful information to investors, including:
•two new subtotals defined in the statement of profit or loss, namely (1) operating profit and (2) profit or loss before financing and income taxes;
•the classification of all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss in one of five categories;
•a new requirement to disclose performance measures defined by management;
•an improvement in the principles related to the aggregation and disaggregation of information in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
The publication of IFRS 18 results also in consequential amendments to other IFRS standards, including IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. IFRS 18 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier application permitted. IFRS 18 will apply retrospectively with specific transitional provisions. The Group is currently working to identify all impacts that the amendments will have on the primary financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
When preparing the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements, management undertakes a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.
Other than the change in Functional Currency of the Company (refer to note 2 - Material accounting policies), the judgments, estimates and assumptions applied to the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied in the Group's Consolidated Financial Statement for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Note 4. Other income (continued)
Other income comprises income generated from an Emergency Response Service (“ERS”) program entered into in Texas. This ERS program is a demand response program designed to help Electric Reliability Council of Texas (“ERCOT”) mitigate rolling blackouts. The Group receives recurring capacity payments for agreeing to curtail electricity consumption in response to abnormally high electricity demand or other grid emergencies. Other income is generated by the Group’s participation in this program at the site in Childress, Texas, and the revenue is recognized on a monthly basis depending on electricity related factors as determined by the operator.
Other income also includes insurance income related to insurance recovery of theft of mining hardware in transit (Refer to note 5 - Other operating expenses).

Capped call transactions and prepaid forward contract
On 6 December 2024, the Group issued convertible notes and has separately entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions and prepaid forward share purchase contract. Refer to Note 14 for further information related to the convertible notes and related financial instruments.
Electricity financial asset
A subsidiary of the Company previously entered into a Power Supply Agreement ("PSA") for the procurement of electricity at the Childress site.
Under the PSA, the subsidiary had the right to purchase a fixed quantity of electricity in advance at a fixed price however, the subsidiary had no obligation to take physical delivery of electricity purchased. For any unused electricity purchased, the subsidiary sold the unused electricity to the counterparty of the PSA at the prevailing spot price at the time of curtailment.
As the PSA met the definition of a financial instrument under IAS 32, it was previously accounted for as a financial asset at fair value through profit and loss under IFRS 9.
An addendum to the PSA was signed on 23 August 2024 which allows for the purchase of electricity at spot price based on actual usage. The addendum resulted in the payment of a liquidation payment of $7,211,000 to exit positions previously entered into under the fixed quantity and price arrangements. As such, this liquidation fee is recognized as a realized loss on financial asset.
The addendum to the PSA does not meet the definition of a financial instrument under IAS 32, accordingly there is no corresponding financial asset recognized as at 31 December 2024.
Realized loss on financial asset
During the six months period ended 31 December 2024 a realized loss of $4,215,000 (31 December 2023: gain of $3,119,000) was incurred comprising of the liquidation payment of $7,211,000, $452,000 realized loss on fixed price

As at 30 September 2024, the Group classified 54,080 miners as held for sale, with a total carrying value of $10,696,000. This classification was made in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, as the miners were no longer in use, were actively marketed for sale, and their sale was deemed highly probable.
No depreciation has been charged on the assets classified as held for sale in line with the requirements of IFRS 5. The carrying value of these assets is the lower of their carrying amount immediately before classification and their fair value less costs to sell.
In October 2024, the Group sold 41,740 miners for total sale proceeds of $8,129,000. Following this transaction, approximately 12,300 S19j Pro miners remained as held for sale.
In November 2024, the Group reassessed the fair value of the remaining miners classified as held for sale, to reflect improved market conditions. In accordance with IFRS 5, the revaluation resulted in a reversal of impairment of $516,000.

Depreciation of mining hardware commences once units are installed onsite and available for use. Of the $58,074,000 depreciation expense for mining hardware recognized during the six months period, $15,330,000 relates to mining hardware that was either sold or classified as held for sale during the period.
Development assets includes costs related to the development of data center infrastructure at Childress, Texas along with other early-stage development costs. Depreciation will commence on the development assets at Childress as each phase of the underlying infrastructure becomes available for use.
Depreciation in the consolidated statements of profit or loss also includes $225,000 of right-of-use assets depreciation.
Bitmain T21 mining hardware
During the six months ended 31 December 2024, Bitmain replaced 1.8 EH/s of faulty Bitmain T21 miners under its warranty obligations, with miners of the same model and specification at no additional cost to the subsidiary of the Group that owned the miners.
This replacement transaction qualifies as a non-monetary exchange under IFRS, as no cash or financial instruments were involved in the exchange. The subsidiary did not receive a right to receive any fixed or determinable number of currency units, and the replacement was completed solely through the exchange of non-monetary assets. Consequently, the replacement units received have been included as an addition in the property, plant and equipment reconciliation at their fair value on recognition of $25,204,000. The units returned have been included as a disposal in the property plant and equipment reconciliation at their carrying amount on disposal of $24,284,000.
The difference between the carrying amount of the faulty miners returned and the fair value of the new miners received resulted in the recognition of a gain in the consolidated statements of profit or loss. Accordingly, a gain of $920,000 has been recognized as a "Gain on Warranty" as set out in the table below:

On 6 December 2024, the Group issued $440,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"). In connection with the offering of the 2030 Notes, the Group has identified a single combined embedded derivative, being the conversion option and redemption right, and has separately entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) and a prepaid forward share purchase contract ("Prepaid Forward Contract") with a financial institution ("Forward Counterparty"). The net proceeds from the sale of the

Note 14. Convertible notes and related financial instruments (continued)
2030 Notes were approximately $311,600,000 after deducting offering and issuance costs related to the 2030 Notes, the Capped Call Transactions costs of $44,352,000 and Prepaid Forward Contract costs of $73,717,000, as described below.
2030 Convertible Senior Notes and embedded derivatives
The 2030 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated 6 December 2024, between the Group and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Group pays interest on the 2030 Notes semiannually in arrears at a rate of 3.25% per annum on 15 June and 15 December each year. The 2030 Notes will mature on 15 June 2030, unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted, the 2030 Notes are convertible based upon an initial conversion rate of 59.4919 shares of the Group’s ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $16.81 per share of the Group’s ordinary shares). The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. The Group will settle any conversions of the 2030 Notes in cash, ordinary shares or a combination thereof, with the form of consideration determined at the Group’s election.
Holders may convert all or a portion of their 2030 Notes only under the following circumstances: (1) During any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on 31 March 2025, if the last reported sale price per ordinary share of ours, no par value, exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (such 10 consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per ordinary share on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events; (4) If the Group call such notes for redemption; or (5) at any time from, and including, 15 March 2030 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. Holders of 2030 Notes who convert their 2030 Notes in connection with a notice of a redemption or a make-whole fundamental change may be entitled to a premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate of the 2030 Notes.
The Group may not redeem the 2030 Notes prior to 20 December 2027. On or after 20 December 2027, the Group may redeem for cash all or part of the 2030 Notes if the last reported sale price of the Group’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including at least one of the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Group provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Group provides notice of the redemption. The redemption price will be 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
The Group determined that the convertible note contained a single combined embedded derivative for the convertible option (holder's option to exchange the notes for a variable number of the Group's ordinary shares) and redemption right (Group's ability to redeem the notes at their discretion). Consequently, the combined embedded derivative is classified as a derivative liability. The remaining debt host contract is discounted by the initial fair value of the separated embedded derivative less the principal amount of the convertible note. The fair value of the debt host, together with the allocated issuance costs, is accreted at an effective interest rate of 9.85% over the term of the instrument and will be accreted up to the principal amount at maturity.
As the embedded derivative is treated as a derivative liability that may convert to equity (at the noteholders discretion) within 12 months of the reporting date, it is classified as a current liability. In line with IAS 1 and IFRS 9 the associated debt host and Capped Call Transactions are also classified as current. The Prepaid Forward Contract is classified as non-current in accordance with IAS 1 and IFRS 9 as its contractual maturity is 15 August 2030,
The fair value of the convertible note is estimated using the same method and inputs as the separated embedded derivative from convertible note. The Group determined that the convertible note is a Level 3 liability given an unobservable input is included in its valuation.
The convertible notes and embedded derivative are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as follows:

Capped Call Transactions
In conjunction with the offering of the 2030 Notes, the Group used $44,352,000 of the proceeds from the 2030 Notes to enter into the Capped Call Transactions with certain financial institutions, of which, $1,452,000 related to transaction costs and was immediately expensed in ‘Other transactions costs’ within the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to holders of the Group's ordinary shares upon any conversion of the 2030 Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes upon conversion of the 2030 Notes in the event that the market price per share of our common stock is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.
The Capped Call Transactions have an initial cap price of approximately $25.86 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the ordinary shares of $12.93 per share on 3 December 2024 and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. Collectively, the Capped Call Transactions cover, initially, the number of shares of the ordinary shares underlying the 2030 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2030 Notes.
The Capped Call Transactions are a separate transaction entered into by the Group with the option counterparties to the 2030 Notes and are not part of the terms of the 2030 Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the 2030 Notes. Holders of the 2030 Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.
The Capped Call Transactions are classified as a current asset and remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value booked into consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, as the contract includes provisions that could require cash settlement. The initial grant date fair value of the Capped Call Transactions was determined to be $42,900,000 with the $1,452,000 difference to the $44,352,000 cash cost of the transaction, recorded as other transaction cost and immediately expensed within the consolidated statements of profit or loss.
Prepaid Forward Contract
In conjunction with the offering of the 2030 Notes, the Group entered also into a Prepaid Forward Contract share purchase transactions with the Forward Counterparty. Pursuant to the Prepaid Forward Contract transactions, the Group used $73,717,000 of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2030 Notes to fund the Prepaid Forward Contract. The aggregate

Note 14. Convertible notes and related financial instruments (continued)
number of shares of the Group’s ordinary shares underlying the Prepaid Forward Contract was approximately 5,700,000 based on the last reported sale price on the pricing date of 3 December 2024. The contractual expiration date for the Prepaid Forward Contract is 15 August 2030. Upon settlement of the Prepaid Forward Contract, the Forward Counterparty will deliver to the Group cash until the Group receives shareholder approval to repurchase its ordinary shares pursuant to the terms of the Prepaid Forward Contract or is otherwise permitted to repurchase its ordinary shares pursuant to the terms of the Prepaid Forward Contract under the laws of the Group’s jurisdiction of incorporation and, thereafter, the number of ordinary shares underlying the Prepaid Forward Contract or the portion thereof being settled early.
The Prepaid Forward Contract is a separate transaction to the 2030 Notes entered into by the Group with the Forward Counterparty and is not part of the terms of the 2030 Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the 2030 Notes. Holders of the 2030 Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Prepaid Forward Contract.
The Prepaid Forward Contract is classified as a non-current asset and remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value booked into consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, as the contract includes provisions that could require cash settlement.
Fair value measurement
Assets and Liabilities that are measured in the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value are categorized into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation. The categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement, being:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| As at 31 December 2024 |
| Carrying Value | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 |

Total financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss | 318,214 | | | - | | | - | | | 67,800 | |
As at 31 December 2024, the carrying value of all of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities represented a reasonable approximation of the fair value of such liabilities, with the exception of the convertible notes which were recognized at amortized cost.

Note 14. Convertible notes and related financial instruments (continued)
There were no transfers between levels during the six months period ended 31 December 2024.
Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorized within level 3
An instrument is included in level 3 if the financial instrument is not traded in an active market and if the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques that are not based on the use of observable market data for all significant inputs. The estimated fair value approximates to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Specific valuation techniques used to value level 3 financial instruments were:
•Embedded derivative liability: Monte-Carlo pricing simulations;
•Capped Call Transactions: Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model; and,
•Prepaid Forward Contract: Analytical formula.
The following information is relevant in the determination of fair value of the financial assets and liabilities at 31 December 2024:

Unrealized gain/(loss) recognized in profit and loss | 45,200 | | | (14,600) | | | (17,700) | |
Balance as at 31 December 2024 | (67,800) | | | 28,300 | | | 56,017 | |
The total unrealized gain on financial instruments was $12,900,000 for the three and six months ended 31 December 2024.
Uncertainty of fair value measurements relating to unobservable inputs
Volatility is a measure of the expected change in variables over a fixed period of time. Some financial instruments benefit from an increase in volatility and others benefit from a decrease in volatility. Generally, for a long position in an option, an increase in volatility would result in an increase in the fair values of financial instruments.

Non-Refundable Sales Tax
The Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") is currently auditing the input tax credits ("ITCs") claimed by two of the Group’s Canadian subsidiaries. As part of this audit, the CRA has issued proposal letters, where they have indicated that the ITCs claimed by these subsidiaries are refundable. However, it also asserts that 5% Goods and Services Tax ("GST") should be applied to services exported to the Australian parent under an intercompany services agreement. If GST were to apply to these exported services, the Australian parent may not be eligible to recover the tax, accordingly the Group has recognised a provision to account for this potential tax liability. Typically, the export of services from Canada are subject to a 0% GST rate. A formal notice of objection to the CRA’s position was submitted in November 2022, followed by an additional response in July 2024. As at 31 December 2024, the Group has not received further correspondence from the CRA regarding the objection.
