Analysis
IREN reported FY26 total revenue of $707.0m, compared with $501.0m in FY25. The revenue mix continued to move toward AI Cloud Services, where revenue was $128.8m versus $16.4m in FY25 and the company described the increase as ~8x. Bitcoin Mining Revenue remained the larger reported revenue line at $578.2m, compared with $484.6m in FY25. In Q4 FY26, AI Cloud Services Revenue was $70.5m, while Bitcoin Mining Revenue was $66.7m.
The transition carried substantial reported costs. FY26 operating (loss) income was $(1,046.7)m, compared with operating income of $17.3m in FY25, and net income (loss) was $(702.6)m compared with net income of $86.9m. The company attributed the FY26 loss in part to non-cash impairments of $(638.8)m, primarily from the decommissioning of Bitcoin mining hardware as sites are converted for AI Cloud growth. Depreciation and amortization was $(417.7)m and selling, general and administrative expenses were $(449.1)m.
Adjusted EBITDA was $245.7m, compared with $269.7m in FY25, while Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 35%, compared with 54%. Q4 FY26 Adjusted EBITDA was $19.2m and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 14%, versus $59.5m and 41% in Q3 FY26. Management said the Q4 decline reflected increased employee related costs and broader platform investment ahead of the AI Cloud Services revenue ramp. Headcount nearly tripled in FY26 alongside five recent C-suite appointments.
Cash generation and financing activity were large during FY26. Net cash from operating activities was $2,100.4m, including $1,841.7m of deferred revenue, while net cash used in investing activities was $(4,723.0)m. The company reported $5,895.6m of cash and cash equivalents, $1,670.3m of current restricted cash, and $7,423.6m of debt less current portion at June 30, 2026. Financing included $4,742.8m of proceeds from issuing Ordinary shares, $6,299.6m of convertible-note proceeds, and $938.0m of financing-facility proceeds.
The operating outlook centers on contracted AI infrastructure rather than formal revenue guidance. IREN reported $4bn contracted ARR for 2026 capacity and $1bn operating ARR as of August 26, 2026, while cautioning that recognized revenue may be materially lower than ARR. Capacity is described as largely sold out for 2026, with $4bn of ARR targeted to be operational by December 31, 2026. Execution milestones include Horizon 3-4 delivery targeted in Q4 2026 and cumulative delivery targets of approximately 0.3GW (IT) in 2026 and 0.8GW (IT) in 2027. The company also disclosed $3.6bn of investment grade GPU financing for the Microsoft contract at a 6.0% rate and new $2.8bn GPU financings, including a $2.4bn financing at a 9.0% fixed rate for the Mackenzie air-cooled expansion.
Management, verbatim
This year, that founding thesis became tangible.

Our 2026 capacity is largely sold out.
Daniel Roberts, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of IREN
With increasing availability of a broad range of capital sources to fund our expansion, we are well positioned to keep compounding as the structural shortage of compute deepens.
