Hive Digital Technologies (HIVE) flags non-cash VAT hit while Q2 revenue surges

NT 10-Q

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. filed a notice that its Quarterly Report for the three months ended June 30, 2026 will be filed within the Rule 12b-25 extension period after a brief delay. The delay stems from evaluating the accounting treatment and disclosures for previously disclosed Swedish value added tax assessments.

HIVE expects to record a non-cash accrual related to these VAT matters, which will significantly increase operating loss and net loss versus the prior-year quarter, though the accrual does not itself require an immediate cash payment. Preliminary internal estimates indicate Q2 2026 revenue of about $79 million, up from $45.6 million for Q2 2025, an increase of approximately 73%, driven by higher Bitcoin rewards from increased global hashrate and initial revenue from a high-performance computing contract.

Positive

  • Revenue expected to rise ~73%, from $45.6 million to about $79 million year over year for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, driven by higher Bitcoin rewards and new high-performance computing revenue.

Negative

  • Company anticipates a significant increase in operating loss and net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 due to a significant non-cash VAT-related charge that was not present in the prior-year period.

Filing Explained

HIVE expects to use the five-day Rule 12b-25 extension to file its June 30, 2026 Form 10-Q, but the amount of the potential non-cash VAT accrual and its effect on operating and net losses remain undetermined until the quarterly close is completed.

Preliminary Q2 2026 revenue $79 million Total revenues expected for the quarter ended June 30, 2026
Q2 2025 revenue $45.6 million Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2025
Year-over-year revenue increase approximately 73% Increase in total revenues Q2 2026 vs. Q2 2025
Form 10-Q due date August 10, 2026 Original due date for the quarter ended June 30, 2026
Extension window five calendar days Maximum delay for quarterly reports under Rule 12b-25
Rule 12b-25 regulatory
"HIVE expects to file its Quarterly Report ... within the extension period permitted under Rule 12b-25"
Rule 12b-25 is an SEC filing provision that lets a company notify regulators and the public that it cannot file a required periodic report (like a quarterly or annual report) on time and explains the reason for the delay. For investors, the notice is a formal heads-up that financial information will arrive late—similar to a company calling to say it will be late turning in homework—so it signals increased uncertainty and may affect trading and risk assessments until the filing is available.
value added tax financial
"value added tax (“VAT”) assessments involving certain of the Company’s Swedish subsidiaries"
A value added tax (VAT) is a consumption tax charged on the sale of goods and services at each stage of production and distribution, collected by businesses and remitted to the government. For investors it matters because VAT acts like a surcharge that can change a company’s pricing, profit margins and cash flow timing, and creates compliance costs and audit risk that can affect earnings and competitiveness, much like a toll added to the price of a product as it moves to market.
non-cash accrual financial
"probability has increased to record a non-cash accrual with respect to these matters"
hashrate technical
"higher amount of Bitcoin rewards received as a result of the increase in the Company’s global hashrate"
Hashrate is a measure of how quickly a computer network can process and verify transactions, often expressed as the number of calculations it can perform in a second. Think of it like the engine power of a car; the higher the hashrate, the more work the network can do in a given time. For investors, a higher hashrate generally indicates a more secure and robust network, which can influence confidence and the value of related digital assets.
high-performance computing technical
"commencement of revenue recognition from a previously announced high-performance computing contract"
A cluster of very powerful computers, special chips and fast networks designed to tackle huge, complex calculations far faster than a normal PC — like replacing a single delivery van with a synchronized fleet to move a city’s worth of packages. For investors, high-performance computing matters because it enables faster product development, more accurate simulations and data analysis, and new revenue streams for hardware, software and services, making firms that supply or use it potentially more competitive and scalable.

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

x (a) The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
   
(b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (the “Company”) is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended June 30, 2026 (the “10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or prior to the prescribed due date of August 10, 2026. HIVE expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2026 within the extension period permitted under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The brief delay relates exclusively to the Company’s evaluation of the appropriate accounting treatment and related disclosures concerning previously disclosed value added tax (“VAT”) assessments involving certain of the Company’s Swedish subsidiaries and the Swedish Tax Authority (“STA”).

Following recent developments in the ongoing Swedish proceedings, the Company has determined that the probability has increased to record a non-cash accrual with respect to these matters. The Company requires additional time to determine the appropriate amount of the accrual and to complete the corresponding financial statement and disclosure updates.

The Company and its Swedish subsidiaries continue to vigorously contest the assessments and pursue all available legal remedies.

The subsidiaries’ appeals remain pending before the Administrative Court of Appeal in Stockholm. In addition, the Company has initiated proceedings with the European Commission concerning, among other matters, the alleged systemic refusal of Swedish administrative courts to refer unsettled questions of European Union law to the Court of Justice of the European Union. The Company is also preparing a civil action against the Swedish Government Agency seeking damages arising from the STA’s handling of the disputed VAT matters.

The anticipated accrual is non-cash at the time of recognition and does not, by itself, represent a current cash payment. The ultimate financial impact, if any, will depend on the final resolution of the ongoing proceedings and may differ from the amount accrued.

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

(2)

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).

[ x ] Yes [           ] No
   
(3)

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

[ x ] Yes [           ] No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

The Company expects that the earning statements contained in Form 10-Q with respect to the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 will contain significant differences in certain line items compared to the period ended June 30, 2025. The following estimates reflect the Company’s preliminary, internal management prepared results of operations and estimate of the results of operations for the comparable prior year period as of the date of this filing. These preliminary expectations may be subject to change upon the completion of the reporting process, and actual results may vary from such expectations.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company expects to report total revenues of approximately $79 million, compared to $45.6 million the prior period, an increase of approximately 73%. The increase was primarily due to a higher amount of Bitcoin rewards received as a result of the increase in the Company’s global hashrate and revenue, and the commencement of revenue recognition from a previously announced high-performance computing contract. The Company anticipates that there will be a significant increase in operating loss and net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the period ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the VAT non-cash related charge described in Part III, above. Although the Company is still completing its financial statement close process for the Form 10-Q given the reasons noted in Part III and a reasonable estimate of operating loss and net loss cannot be given at this time, the Company anticipates that it may record a significant non-cash charge with respect to the VAT related matter. There was no such charge for the period ended June 30, 2025.

The foregoing statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions as of the date of this filing and involve a number of risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ from these preliminary estimates. The risks include, but are not limited to, unexpected changes arising during the ongoing quarterly review procedures. Except for historical information contained herein, the statements in this Form 12b-25 are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those described in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC, particularly under the heading “Risk Factors.” Accordingly, no assurances can be given that the actual events and results will not be materially different than the anticipated results described in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements and are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings made with the SEC from time to time that disclose risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s business. The forward-looking statements in this Form 12b-25 are made as of the date of this Form 12b-25. The Company does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any duty to publicly update these statements, whether as a result of new information, new developments or otherwise, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law.
