**Riot Platforms Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Strategic Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Quarterly revenue of $167.2 million, including $33.2 million in Data Center revenue

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Announces AMD exercise of option for an additional 25 MW, bringing total contracted capacity to 50 MW of critical IT capacity

CASTLE ROCK, Colo., April 30<sup>th</sup> 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- **Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) ("Riot" or "the Company")**, a Bitcoin-driven industry leader in the development of large-scale data centers and bitcoin mining applications, reported financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. The accompanying presentation materials are available on Riot's website.

"The first quarter of 2026 marks a definitive inflection point for Riot, as we officially transitioned into an active, revenue-generating data center operator," said Jason Les, CEO of Riot. "Our ongoing delivery of initial capacity to AMD, and their decision to already double their footprint with a 25 megawatt expansion, validates our ability to execute at institutional scale with the most demanding tenants. With 50 megawatts now firmly contracted with AMD, we are rapidly executing on the value creation opportunity presented by our significant, fully-approved power portfolio. We have the secured power, the in-house development expertise, and the significant financial resources required to capitalize on strong market demand with high-quality tenants in order to drive compounding shareholder value."

**First Quarter 2026 Financial and Operational Highlights**

Key financial and operational highlights for the quarter include:

● Total revenue of $167.2 million, as compared to $161.4 million for the same three-month period in 2025.

● Produced 1,473 bitcoin, as compared to 1,530 during the same three-month period in 2025.

● The average cost to mine bitcoin, excluding depreciation, was $44,629 in the quarter, as compared to $43,808 per bitcoin in the same three-month period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a 24% increase in the average global network hash rate as compared to the same period in 2025, partially offset by a 169% increase in power credits received in first quarter 2026 compared to power credits received in first quarter 2025.

● Bitcoin Mining revenue of $111.9 million for the quarter, as compared to $142.9 million for the same three-month period in 2025, primarily driven by lower average bitcoin prices and an increase in global network hash rate, partially offset by an increase in Riot's average operating hash rate.

● The Company's first quarter of Data Center revenue of $33.2 million. Data Center revenue was comprised of $0.9 million in operating lease revenue and $32.2 million in tenant fit-out services revenue.

● Engineering revenue of $22.2 million for the quarter, as compared to $13.9 million for the same three-month period in 2025.

● Maintained strong liquidity position with 15,679 bitcoin (of which 5,802 were held as collateral), equating to approximately $1.1 billion based on a market price for one bitcoin on March 31, 2026, of $68,222. The quarter ended with $282.5 million of cash on hand (of which $76.9 million is restricted).

**Non-U.S. GAAP Measures of Financial Performance**

In addition to financial measures presented under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we consistently evaluate our use of and calculation of non-GAAP financial measures such as "Adjusted EBITDA." EBITDA is computed as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure defined as EBITDA, adjusted to eliminate the effects of certain non-cash and/or non-recurring items that do not reflect our ongoing strategic business operations, which management believes results in a performance measurement that represents a key indicator of the Company's core business operations of Bitcoin mining. The adjustments include fair value adjustments such as derivative power contract adjustments, equity securities fair value changes, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense, in addition to financing and legacy business income and expense items. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can be an important financial performance measure because it allows management, investors, and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our operating results, including our return on capital and operating efficiencies from period-to-period by making such adjustments. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance metric for share-based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA is provided in addition to, and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, net income, the most comparable measure under GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA. Further, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to revenue growth, net income, diluted net income per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this financial measure either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP.

------

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to Net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP financial measure:

| Cost to mine one bitcoin, including bitcoin miner depreciation, as a % of production value of one bitcoin mined | 126.7% | 86.9% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Other direct cost of revenue includes compensation, insurance, repairs, and ground lease rent and related property tax.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we paid cash of $23.5 million and $21.0 million, respectively, in total deposits and payments for the purchase of miners. Costs to finance the purchase of miners were zero in all periods presented as the miners were paid for with cash from the Company's cash balance. The seller did not provide any financing nor did the Company borrow from a third-party to purchase the miners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Power curtailment credits are credited against our power invoices as a result of temporarily pausing our operations to participate in ERCOT's Demand Response Service Programs. Our fixed-price power purchase contracts enable us to strategically curtail our mining operations and participate in these programs, which significantly lower our cost to mine bitcoin. These credits are recognized in *Power curtailment credits* on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, outside of cost of revenue, but significantly reduce our overall cost to mine bitcoin.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) We capitalize the acquisition cost of our miners and include these costs in *Property and equipment, net* on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The miners are depreciated over an estimated useful life of three years, during which time, they are expected to contribute to the generation of bitcoin revenue. We do not consider depreciation expense in determining whether it is economical to operate our miners because depreciation is a non-cash expense and is not a variable operating cost that can be avoided even if we curtail operations temporarily. Depreciation expense incurred is disclosed for each respective period in the table above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) The following table presents the future depreciation expense of all of our bitcoin miners:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Remainder of 2026 | $197735 |
| 2027 | 216084 |
| 2028 | 94489 |
| 2029 | 13865 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $522173 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Computed as revenue recognized from bitcoin mined divided by the quantity of bitcoin mined during the same period.

Such statements are made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to: plans to develop data centers; the Company's data center lease at the Rockdale Site; total lease contract value over the term with and without exercising options and extension; net operating income ("NOI") of the lease; projected delivery timeline of the site; forecasted demand for energy at the sites; construction plans; forecasted capital expenditures and descriptions thereof; projected energization timelines; and the Company's other plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "plans," "expects," "intends," "will," "potential," "hope," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements; however, forward-looking statements may be made without such signifying expressions. Because such forward-looking statements reflect management's current expectations, assumptions and estimates of future performance and economic conditions, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: risks relating to developing the Company's power capacity for data center purposes, including construction plans, delays, supply chain issues, permitting or regulatory hurdles, and unforeseen technical challenges; our ability to attract and retain qualified third-party partners and customers; changes in leasing arrangements; risks relating to the financing of new data centers; future economic conditions, performance, or outlooks; future political conditions; the outcome of contingencies; our ability to maximize the value of our full power portfolio; rapidly changing technologies; the number and value of Bitcoin rewards and transaction fees we earn from our ongoing Bitcoin Mining operations; future self-mining hash rate capacity; expected cash flows or capital expenditures; our beliefs or expectations; activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe, or anticipate will or may occur in the future; unaudited estimates of bitcoin production; risks related to the success, schedule, cost and difficulty of integrating businesses we acquire; and our failure to realize anticipated efficiencies and strategic and financial benefits from our acquisitions. Further information regarding the factors identified by the Company's management, which they believe may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, may be found in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed under the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" of the Company's most recently filed periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and the other filings the Company makes with the SEC, copies of which may be obtained from the SEC's website, www.sec.gov. In addition to these risks and those identified by the Company's management and disclosed in the Company's filings with the SEC, other risks, factors and uncertainties not identified by management, or which management does not presently believe to be material to the Company, its business or prospects, may also materially affect the Company's actual future results, including in ways adverse to the Company's business. All forward-looking statements included in this presentation are made only as of the date of this presentation, and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur, or of which the Company hereafter becomes aware, except as required by law. Persons reading this presentation are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, net operating income (NOI), which the Company defines as lease revenue for a specific lease less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue, includes compensation, IT equipment and software, and other costs directly related to the lease. Management uses NOI to assess the projected operating performance of individual leases. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is segment gross profit or loss. NOI has significant limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP results. In evaluating NOI, you should be aware that future non-reimbursable lease operating expenses may arise that are not currently known. The Company's presentation of NOI should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. This measure excludes the impact of capital expenditures, material financial obligations, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, all of which have real economic effects and could materially affect the Company's consolidated financial results. Definitions and calculations of NOI may vary among companies, and therefore the Company's NOI may not be comparable to similar measures published by others. A reconciliation of NOI to operating income is not provided because NOI is only calculated for specific leases. Certain amounts cannot be reasonably estimated without unreasonable efforts because certain reconciling metrics are out of the Company's control, and such estimates would imply a degree of precision that could be misleading to investors. For more information, please refer to our GAAP financial statements included in our most recent filings with the SEC. Statements in this presentation that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements that reflect management's current expectations, assumptions, and estimates of future performance and economic conditions, and are not guarantees of future performance or actual results. Such statements are made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

In addition to these risks and those identified by the Company's management and disclosed in the Company's filings with the SEC, other risks, factors and uncertainties not identified by management, or which management does not presently believe to be material to the Company, its business or prospects, may also materially affect the Company's actual future results, including in ways adverse to the Company's business. All forward-looking statements included in this presentation are made only as of the date of this presentation, and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur, or of which the Company hereafter becomes aware, except as required by law. Persons reading this presentation are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, net operating income (NOI), which the Company defines as lease revenue for a specific lease less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue, includes compensation, IT equipment and software, and other costs directly related to the lease. Management uses NOI to assess the projected operating performance of individual leases. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is segment gross profit or loss. NOI has significant limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP results. In evaluating NOI, you should be aware that future non-reimbursable lease operating expenses may arise that are not currently known. The Company's presentation of NOI should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. This measure excludes the impact of capital expenditures, material financial obligations, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, all of which have real economic effects and could materially affect the Company's consolidated financial results. Definitions and calculations of NOI may vary among companies, and therefore the Company's NOI may not be comparable to similar measures published by others. A reconciliation of NOI to operating income is not provided because NOI is only calculated for specific leases. Certain amounts cannot be reasonably estimated without unreasonable efforts because certain reconciling metrics are out of the Company's control, and such estimates would imply a degree of precision that could be misleading to investors. For more information, please refer to our GAAP financial statements included in our most recent filings with the SEC. |

The seller did not provide any financing, nor did the Company borrow from a third-party to purchase the miners. 3.Power curtailment credits are credited against our power invoices as a result of temporarily pausing our operations to participate in ERCOT's Demand Response Service Programs.
