Hut 8 Commercializes First Phase of 1 GW Beacon Point AI Data Center Campus with 15-Year, 352 MW IT Lease with Base-Term Contract Value of $9.8 BillionMay 6, 2026 6:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) Triple-net lease with high-investment-grade tenant valued at up to $25.1 billion if all renewal options are exercisedTransaction expands Hut 8's total contracted AI data center capacity to 597 MW with aggregate base-term contract value of approximately $16.8 billionHut 8 to deliver a 352 MW AI factory designed to NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture for gigawatt-scale AI infrastructureExecuted under Hut 8's repeatable delivery model with Tier 1 counterparties: American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP), Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT), and Jacobs (NYSE: J)MIAMI, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq, TSX: HUT) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies, today announced the commercialization of the first phase of its Beacon Point data center campus in Nueces County, Texas through a 15-year, $9.8 billion lease (the "Agreement") for 352 megawatts (MW) of IT capacity (the "Transaction"). The tenant, a high-investment-grade company, will deploy dedicated compute infrastructure at the campus to support AI training and inference workloads at hyperscale. Beacon Point is the second AI data center campus commercialized under the Company's power-first, greenfield development model following River Bend. Hut 8 has executed an interconnection agreement for 1,000 MW of utility capacity, with initial energization expected in Q1 2027. As with River Bend, Hut 8 identified and secured the site through its power-first approach and subsequently commercialized it through a hyperscale AI lease. The Beacon Point transaction brings Hut 8's total contracted AI data center capacity to 597 MW of IT capacity with aggregate base-term contract value of approximately $16.8 billion and aggregate average annual NOI to approximately $1.1 billion.Transaction HighlightsLease Structure: Triple net (NNN) lease.Tenant Profile: Confidential, high-investment-grade company.Compute Architecture: Hut 8 to deliver a 352 MW AI factory designed to NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture for gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure.Base-Term Contract Value: Total contract value of $9.8 billion over a 15-year base lease term, inclusive of a 3.0% annual base rent escalator.NOI Contribution: Expected cumulative NOI contribution of $9.8 billion over the base lease term, translating to an expected average annual NOI contribution of $655 million upon stabilization.Upside Economics: Three 5-year renewal options increase potential contract value to approximately $25.1 billion assuming all three options are exercised.Delivery Timeline: Initial data hall delivery expected in Q3 2027.Project-level Financing: Hut 8 intends to support the development of Beacon Point with project-level financing that aims to optimize cost of capital at the asset level while maintaining disciplined long-term leverage metrics at the corporate level.Campus Scalability: 1,000 MW of utility capacity with initial energization expected in Q1 2027.Commercial Potential: The lease for 352 MW of IT capacity, requiring approximately 500 MW of utility capacity, represents the first phase of commercialization at a campus designed to support up to 1,000 MW of utility capacity, providing significant runway for potential campus expansion and revenue growth.Power-First Underwriting and the First Phase of Value CreationBeacon Point exemplifies Hut 8's power-first development model and the value creation it enables across the asset lifecycle. Originally underwritten on a speed-to-power thesis to serve Hut 8's affiliated customer, American Bitcoin Corp. ("ABTC"), the site was repositioned to AI infrastructure as power demand accelerated and customer requirements broadened. Hut 8 transitioned Beacon Point from its original commercialization pathway with ABTC to deliver an AI data center campus with contracted, investment-grade cash flows, marking the first phase of asset-level value creation at the campus.Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: "Beacon Point underscores why we start with power and maintain flexibility across end markets. Operating across multiple applications lets us underwrite assets that single-use-case developers cannot, then redirect them toward higher-value commercialization pathways as demand evolves. This flexibility is intentional, and it is embedded in how we underwrite, develop, and commercialize infrastructure."First-Principles Engineering and the Second Phase of Value CreationBeacon Point also exemplifies Hut 8's first-principles engineering approach and the value creation it enables as technology applications evolve. Following the repositioning of the campus to AI, the first data hall was scoped for 224 MW of IT capacity, sized to the chip architectures commercially deployed at the time. As NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture advanced toward commercial deployment with materially higher rack-level power densities, Hut 8 redesigned the data hall to support a 352 MW AI factory, a 57% increase over the initial design, within the same land and utility footprint.Scalable, Partnership-Driven Execution ModelHut 8 is developing Beacon Point through a partnership-driven execution model first implemented at its River Bend campus. The model is structured to mitigate risk across the project lifecycle by aligning Tier 1 partners to defined roles across technology, engineering and construction, and critical systems delivery.Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: "This transaction commercializes the first building of our newest gigawatt-scale campus and marks our second AI data center lease. More importantly, it demonstrates that our development model, which pairs power-first underwriting with disciplined commercialization and institutional execution, is repeatable and extendable across our broader pipeline."NVIDIA is engaged as technology partner, with Phase 1 of the campus engineered to NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture for gigawatt-scale AI factories. Jacobs, a global scienced-based consulting and advisory firm, is retained as EPCM (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management) lead, working alongside Vertiv in its role supporting critical digital infrastructure systems.Bob Pragada, Chair and CEO of Jacobs, said: "Beacon Point underscores the strength of our partnership with Hut 8 and the discipline required to deliver AI infrastructure with speed, safety, and certainty. Building on our work together at River Bend, we are applying our EPCM leadership and advanced digital twin technology to set the benchmark for AI infrastructure deployment, optimization, and resiliency."Giordano Albertazzi, CEO of Vertiv, said: "Next generation AI infrastructure will be defined by how quickly power can be converted into AI capacity. Partnering with Hut 8 aligns with Vertiv's systems-level approach to converged physical infrastructure — bringing power, cooling, and deployment execution at scale. At Beacon Point, we are applying Vertiv's global manufacturing depth, supply chain discipline, engineering expertise, and critical digital infrastructure portfolio to help deliver AI capacity with speed, reliability, and long-term performance."Utility and Regional PartnershipsHut 8 is developing the Beacon Point campus in collaboration with key Texas stakeholders, including AEP Texas, a subsidiary of American Electric Power (AEP), and the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corporation (CCREDC). Hut 8 and AEP Texas have executed an interconnection agreement for 1,000 MW of utility capacity for the campus, with initial energization expected in Q1 2027.Hut 8 brings a long operating history in Texas and extensive experience working within ERCOT across large-load applications. This experience has enabled the Company to advance complex infrastructure projects by navigating market dynamics, interconnection processes, and transmission and system upgrade requirements while maintaining disciplined development and execution timelines.Aaron Bowman, CEO of CCREDC, said: "Beacon Point reflects the type of long-term investment that supports durable growth in the Coastal Bend economy. Hut 8's focus on power infrastructure and disciplined execution aligns with the region's assets and workforce capabilities, and we are pleased to support the advancement of this campus in Nueces County."Development Pipeline UpdateThe Transaction advances 500 MW of utility capacity from Energy Capacity Under Development to Energy Capacity Under Construction. An additional 500 MW of utility capacity from Beacon Point remains within Energy Capacity Under Development. Hut 8 continues to advance opportunities across a broader pipeline spanning 7,545 MW of Energy Capacity Under Diligence, Exclusivity, and Development, applying the same power-first underwriting framework and institutional execution model demonstrated at River Bend and Beacon Point.StageDescriptionUtility Capacity

Note: (1) Excludes 1,000 MW of potential IT expansion capacity at River Bend, for which Fluidstack holds a ROFO under the River Bend lease.Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis press release includes a non-GAAP financial measure, expected net operating income (NOI) contribution, which the Company defines as expected lease revenue for a particular lease less any non-reimbursable operating expenses attributable to the leased property. The Company's management team uses expected NOI contribution to measure the expected operating performance of a particular lease. Operating income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to expected NOI contribution. In evaluating expected NOI contribution, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur non-reimbursable lease operating expenses that are not currently known. The Company's presentation of expected NOI contribution should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Expected NOI contribution has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider expected NOI contribution in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. For example, expected NOI contribution excludes the impact of selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, which have real economic effect and could materially impact the Company's consolidated financial results. Other companies, including Real Estate Investment Trusts, may calculate expected NOI contribution differently than the Company does and, accordingly, the Company's expected NOI contribution may not be comparable to similar measures published by such companies. No reconciliation of expected NOI contribution is included in this press release because the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in operating income without unreasonable efforts as such quantification would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.Additional Transaction Information and Upcoming CommunicationsHut 8 has made available on its website an investor presentation with further details regarding the Transaction.For important news and information regarding the Company, including investor presentations and timing of future investor conferences, visit the Investor Relations section of the Company's website, hut8.com/investors, and its social media accounts, including on X and LinkedIn.

Vertiv reported first quarter net sales of $2,650 million, an increase of $614 million, or 30%, compared to first quarter 2025, driven by 23% organic sales growth, 4% contribution from acquisitions, and 3% favorable currency translation impact. The Americas region led the organic sales growth, expanding 44% on strong data center demand.
First quarter operating profit of $440 million increased $149 million and adjusted operating profit of $551 million increased $214 million, up 51% and 64%, respectively, from first quarter 2025. Adjusted operating margin was 20.8%, up 430 basis points compared to first quarter 2025, driven by operational leverage on higher volume and positive price-cost, inclusive of tariff impacts and associated tariff mitigation countermeasures."We're seeing data center infrastructure requirements evolve significantly, with customers prioritizing optimized design, deployment speed, and operational efficiency - reshaping their approach to deployment," said Giordano Albertazzi, Vertiv's Chief Executive Officer. "This quarter's financial performance reflects our ability to meet customers at this critical moment with unique capabilities. Our investments in technology and capacity, combined with strategic acquisitions, are translating into market share gains as customers demand faster deployment, greater reliability, and comprehensive services. As infrastructure density increases and deployment timelines compress, we're positioned to be the partner customers need to bring their most ambitious projects to life, at scale.""This quarter demonstrates that Vertiv has built the kind of competitive position that compounds over time," said Dave Cote, Vertiv's Executive Chairman. "When customers face their toughest infrastructure challenges, they're choosing us - not only because of our technology, but because we can deliver at scale. Our addition to the S&P 500 in March reflects strong financial performance and market leadership in critical digital infrastructure. The strategic momentum gives me confidence in our long-term trajectory."Adjusted Free Cash Flow and LiquidityNet cash generated by operating activities in the first quarter was $767 million and adjusted free cash flow was $653 million, increasing 153% and 147%, respectively, from first quarter 2025. First quarter adjusted free cash flow was driven by higher adjusted operating profit, working capital efficiency and lower cash interest, partially offset by higher cash taxes and increased capital expenditures to support growth investments.Liquidity remained strong at $5.0 billion and net leverage was approximately 0.2x at the end of first quarter, driven by continued strong cash generation and working capital efficiency.After receiving inaugural investment grade ratings from Moody's (Baa3) and S&P (BBB-) in February 2026, Vertiv completed a $2.1 billion senior unsecured notes issuance and put in place a new $2.5 billion revolving credit facility while also retiring its outstanding term loan and ABL revolver in March, enhancing financial flexibility to support continued growth.Updated Full Year and Second Quarter 2026 GuidanceThe data center market continues to demonstrate robust momentum, supported by strong underlying demand fundamentals.

Vertiv has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this news release, as indicated above, that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies. These non-GAAP financial measures include organic net sales growth (including on a segment basis), adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company's ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Vertiv has provided reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to second quarter and full-year 2026 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For those reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.See "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release for Vertiv's reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release, and other statements that Vertiv may make in connection therewith, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to Vertiv's future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations, and as such are not historical facts.

$ (4.8)Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement this news release, we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in the format of performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company's performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.Vertiv's non-GAAP financial measures include:Adjusted operating profit (loss), which represents operating profit (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, and contingent consideration;Adjusted operating margin, which represents adjusted operating profit (loss) divided by net sales;Organic net sales growth, which represents the change in net sales adjusted to exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate and acquisitions;Adjusted free cash flow, which represents net cash provided by (used for) operating activities adjusted to exclude capital expenditures and investments in capitalized software; andAdjusted diluted EPS, which represents diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, contingent consideration, and the costs related to the March 3, 2026 repayment of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the associated interest rate swaps being settled.Regional Segment Results

Vertiv reported fourth quarter net sales of $2,880 million, an increase of $534 million, or 23%, compared to fourth quarter 2024, driven by organic sales growth of 19%. Orders momentum accelerated significantly with fourth quarter organic orders up approximately 252% compared to last year's fourth quarter and up 117% sequentially from third quarter 2025. While the Americas region and hyperscale/colocation data centers were the primary drivers of order strength, order growth was broad-based across regions, technologies and customers. The company's trailing twelve-month organic orders grew approximately 81% compared to the prior year period, reflecting robust market demand, particularly in AI infrastructure. Fourth quarter 2025 book-to-bill ratio was ~2.9x and backlog increased to $15.0 billion, up 109% compared to the same period last year.
Fourth quarter operating profit of $580 million increased $123 million and adjusted operating profit of $668 million increased $164 million, up 27% and 33%, respectively, from fourth quarter 2024. Adjusted operating margin was 23.2%, up 170 basis points compared to fourth quarter 2024, driven by operational leverage on higher volume, productivity and favorable price-cost, partially offset by tariff impact."Our fourth quarter performance demonstrates Vertiv's leadership position in an increasingly complex and demanding data center market," said Giordano Albertazzi, Vertiv's Chief Executive Officer. "Significant growth in orders, sales, margins and cash reflects our ability to scale while maintaining a sharp focus on operational execution. What differentiates Vertiv is our ability to anticipate and shape the industry direction. Deep collaborations with semiconductor industry leaders, combined with our decades-long industry expertise and technology-rich portfolio, enable us to optimize customer outcomes by anticipating needs before they become apparent. We architect systems that deliver superior outcomes today and position our customers well to meet tomorrow's challenges. As we look to 2026, we expect this momentum to continue. Our record backlog provides clear visibility into what we expect to be another year of significant growth.""Today's results reflect years of strategic focus on technology leadership and value creation," said Dave Cote, Vertiv's Executive Chairman. "Our commitment to developing technology that transforms the industry has positioned us as the partner customers turn to for solving their most complex challenges. This technology leadership isn't just about winning today, it's about driving sustainable, long-term growth by continuously redefining what's possible for our customers and the industry."Adjusted Free Cash Flow and LiquidityNet cash generated by operating activities in the fourth quarter was $1,005 million and adjusted free cash flow was $910 million, an increase of $580 million and $548 million, respectively, from fourth quarter 2024. Fourth quarter adjusted free cash flow performance was driven by higher adjusted operating profit, working capital efficiency, including project-related advanced payments and lower cash interest, partially offset by higher cash taxes and increased capital expenditures to support growth.The company's strong cash generation enabled Vertiv to deploy approximately $1 billion for strategic growth acquisitions during the quarter while maintaining low leverage and a strong balance sheet. Liquidity remained strong at $2.6 billion and net leverage was approximately 0.5x at the end of fourth quarter, reflecting continued strong operational performance and cash generation. Vertiv continues its commitment to obtaining and maintaining investment grade credit ratings.Updated Full Year and First Quarter 2026 GuidanceThe data center market continues to show robust momentum, with strong pipeline growth despite significant pipeline conversion to orders in the fourth quarter. To capitalize on these opportunities, Vertiv is strategically increasing ER&D investments and expanding production capacity.

For more information, and for the latest news and content from Vertiv, visit vertiv.com.Category: Financial NewsNon-GAAP Financial MeasuresFinancial information included in this release has been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Vertiv has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this news release, as indicated above, that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies. These non-GAAP financial measures include organic net sales growth (including on a segment basis), adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company's ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Vertiv has provided reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to first quarter and full-year 2026 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For those reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.See "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release for Vertiv's reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release, and other statements that Vertiv may make in connection therewith, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to Vertiv's future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations, and as such are not historical facts.

$ 114.1 Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement this news release, we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in the format of performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company's performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.Vertiv's non-GAAP financial measures include:Adjusted operating profit (loss), which represents operating profit (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, restructuring costs associated with the global restructuring programs, contingent consideration, and merger and acquisition costs;Adjusted operating margin, which represents adjusted operating profit (loss) divided by net sales;Organic net sales growth, which represents the change in net sales adjusted to exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate and acquisitions;Adjusted free cash flow, which represents net cash provided by (used for) operating activities adjusted to exclude capital expenditures and investments in capitalized software; andAdjusted diluted EPS, which represents diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, restructuring costs associated with global restructuring programs, contingent consideration, merger and acquisition costs, net non-recurring tax adjustments, term loan due 2032 amendment expense and change in warranty liability.Regional Segment Results

392.0(1)Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to FY 2026 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted operating margin and adjusted free cash flow, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For the same reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.(2)Diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS based on 392.0 million shares (includes 383.0 million basic shares and a weighted average 9.0 million potential dilutive equity awards).
