The ongoing successful implementation of our new operating excellence model combined with our overall business and technology optimization efforts have enhanced our operating metrics and continues to uplift our self-mining business performance. Moreover, Mawson’s self-mining business expanded in September increasing by 7% M/M growing to approximately 16,730 miners online and hashing, and the number of self-mined Bitcoin in September also increased month-on-month to 89 BTC.”

Unaudited September Monthly Operating Results Summary

• Total Power Capacity was approximately 109 MW with capacity for approximately 35,480 miners
• Self-Mining Bitcoin Production M/M increase to 89 BTC
• Total self-miners hashing at the end of September increased 7% M/M to approximately 16,730
• Self-Mining Monthly revenue reduced 4% to $2.33M given increased network difficulty rate and lower average Bitcoin prices during the period
• Energy Market Program Monthly Revenue increased 17% M/M to approximately $0.17M
  

Operational Updates

Mawson’s sites in Pennsylvania, across Midland and Bellefonte, have currently approximately 109 MW of power capacity. The Midland facility has approximately 100 MW of power and the capacity to support a total of approximately 32,930 miners for self-mining and/or co-location services. During September, the Midland site had approximately 50 MW of self-mining capacity and approximately 14,185 miners hashing for self-mining purposes. In addition, the Company also has approximately 50 MW of capacity for co-location services. At the end of September, the Bellefonte facility, which is used entirely for self-mining purposes, was operating at approximately 8.8 MW of capacity with approximately 2,545 miners hashing. The Company continues to optimize facilities with a focus on driving overall operating profitability leverage.

Conference Attendance Update

Statements about hashrate capacity

Statements in the press release about hashrate capacity (including ‘installed capacity’ or ‘nameplate capacity’), will often differ from the actual or observed hashrate. These terms generally make certain assumptions about the efficiency of the ASIC miners that are in use. Some ASIC miner models will consume less power to create the same amount of hashing power than other ASIC miner models (typically more recent models are more efficient). Many ASIC miner fleets are blended fleets, including various ASIC miner models each with different efficiency ratings. Hashrate capacity figures typically assume 100% deployment of ASIC miners. Given the large numbers of computing units (often numbering in the tens of thousands), ASIC mining fleets are rarely 100% deployed and online at any one time. This can be due to a variety of factors, including ASIC miners being under maintenance, in repair workshops, in storage, in transit, or due to technical faults and breakdowns. Once deployed and online, the actual or observed hashrate can be influenced by other factors such as heat, overclocking (causing the ASIC miner to perform at levels higher than the manufacturer’s specifications), the age, and wear and tear exhibited by the ASIC miners and also by the limitations of the surrounding infrastructure, such as power outages, and MDC and transformer breakdowns. Construction and development delays are a common risk for mining data centers, for example due to weather, permitting delays, or labor and equipment shortages. Investors should consider all risk factors related to uptime when considering these figures, which are a best-case scenario.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Mawson cautions that statements in this press release that are not a description of historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
