James Manning, CEO and Founder of Mawson Infrastructure, said, "Q1 2021 was a solid operational quarter for our business. We significantly increased our Bitcoin self-mining operational footprint, producing 459 Bitcoin in Q1, delivered Q1 revenue of $19.4 million, up 178% vs Q1 2021, delivered Q1 gross profit of $11.0 million, up 138% vs Q1 2021, and posted Q1 non-GAAP EBITDA of $4.5 million, up 160% vs Q1 2021. Our hosting co-location business accelerated in Q1 - we signed new 100-megawatt hosting co-location customer Celsius Mining LLC, as well as new 12-megawatt hosting co-location customer Foundry Digital LLC. In very exciting news, we gained approval to expand our Georgia Bitcoin Mining facility to 230-megawatts, which is capable of accommodating up to 7.5 Exahash. The pipeline of strong demand for our hosting co-location business – which adds an additional revenue stream for the group – continues to expand, and we look forward to updating stockholders on this front in due course.”
