 Disclaimer  2  Forward-Looking StatementsThis presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Iris Energy’s future financial or operating performance. For example, forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the Company’s business strategy, expected operational and financial results and expected increase in power capacity and hashrate. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “may,” “can,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “project,” “strive,” “budget,” “forecast,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “scheduled” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology, but the absence of these words does not mean that statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. In addition, any statements or information that refer to expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, performance or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking.These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs.

See Financial Summary for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, along with a reconciliation to net profit/(loss) after income tax expense, the nearest applicable IFRS measure, for the periods presented. We provide Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBTIDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. For example, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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.All financial information included in this presentation is denominated in USD and references to “$” are to USD unless otherwise stated.Industry and Statistical DataThis presentation includes industry data, statistical data, estimates and other forecasts that may have been obtained from periodic industry publications, third-party studies and surveys, filings of public companies in our industry, internal company surveys, and our review and analysis of market conditions, surveys and industry feedback. Our expectations regarding market and industry data, including expected growth rates, are subject to change based on our ongoing analysis of prevailing market and industry conditions and, as a result, assumptions based on such expectations may not be reliable indicators of future results. We undertake no obligation to update such figures in the future. These sources include government and industry sources. Industry publications and surveys generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. Although we believe the industry data to be reliable as of the date of this presentation, this information could prove to be inaccurate. Industry data could be wrong because of the method by which sources obtained their data and because information cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process, and other limitations and uncertainties. In addition, we do not know all of the assumptions regarding general economic conditions or growth that were used in preparing the forecasts from the sources relied upon or cited herein. Further, certain financial measures and statistical information in this document have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, the sum of certain data may not conform to the expressed total.

 HODL considerations  16  Non-HODL  HODL  Rationale  Immediate ownership of Bitcoin todayPotential to borrow against BitcoinInvestors not required to self-custodyLess complexity for management teams (trading Bitcoin vs. building infrastructure)‘Locking up’ Bitcoin circulating supply  Considerations  In down markets, double hit to profit and balance sheetRisk of liquidation / margin calls associated with Bitcoin price volatility. e.g. may require sale of Bitcoin and/or equity at unattractive levelsReliance on capital markets to continue funding capex and opexTrust in large corporates and third parties to custody Bitcoin  Rationale  Self-funding for rapid growth of computing powerReturn on investment today is extremely attractive (>100% cash yields1)Reinvest Bitcoin today to generate more Bitcoin tomorrow:  1 Bitcoin held on balance sheet; or10 x S19j Pro1 (1,000 TH/s) = 1 Bitcoin every ~7 months1  Future optionality to HODL greater amount of Bitcoin, continue reinvesting or distributions (investors could then self-custody)Less dilutive than raising equity to finance capex and opex  Considerations  Optics of no Bitcoin on balance sheet (some investors with higher time preferences may prefer to see Bitcoin today)Generating greater exposure to Bitcoin via expansionLower risk of margin calls on Bitcoin leverage  Today’s strategy is to reinvest Bitcoin to fund rapid expansion to 15 EH/s, building one of the largest listed Bitcoin miners  1. Based on the Company’s average purchase price for its secured hardware and current global hashrate (implied by network difficulty) of ~191 EH/s.

No further amortization will be recorded in relation to these price target options. (2) Founder long-term options (Executive Director Long-term Target Options) which were granted in September 2021 in connection with the IPO with an expense of A$4.45m recorded in the 3 months ended 31 December 2021. These long-term options are currently "out of the money" with an exercise price of US$75 and initial share price vesting conditions of US$370, US$650, US$925 and US$1,850 for each tranche granted. See note 15 of the 31 December 2021 interim financial statements for further information.Share-based payments expense includes expense recorded in relation to incentives issued under the Employee Share Plans, Employee Option Plan and Non-Executive Director Option Plan.Includes fair value losses recorded on SAFE and convertible notes that were converted into ordinary shares upon the Group’s listing on the NASDAQ. The net fair value losses recorded on these instruments represents the movement in the share price from date of issuance of these instruments to the IPO listing price of US$28. All of these instruments converted to ordinary shares on 16 November 2021, the associated fair value gains/(losses) are non-cash movements and do not impact the cash position of the Group. See note 5 of the 31 December 2021 interim financial statements for further information.  The Group uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a metric that is useful for assessing its operating performance before the impact of non-cash and other items. EBITDA is net profit or (loss) from operations, as reported in profit and loss, before finance income and expense, tax and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for removing certain non-cash and other items, including share-based payment expenses, foreign currency gains/(losses) and one-time transactions.  The Group presents its financial statements in Australian dollars (A$).
