How Revenue Reached Operating Profit
The quarter's revenue and operating result imply an operating margin of -426.15%: $426.15 of operating loss for every $100 of revenue, before interest and tax.
The operating results do not yet support calling IREN a high-quality profit engine. Its operating margin, which measures operating profit relative to revenue, has deteriorated as the business changes shape.

- -$0.12 bn Q4 2026

In Q4 2026, operating cash flow of $1.81 bn less cash capital expenditure of $1.33 bn left $0.48 bn of free cash flow. Operations funded cash investment and left cash after that spending.
Operating cash flow was positive in the latest fiscal quarter and exceeded reported cash purchases of property, plant and equipment.
This cash measure excludes separately reported intangible purchases and finance-lease acquisitions. It is not a complete measure of the expansion bill. Customer deposits and prepayments are not necessarily recognized revenue, and the cash-flow totals alone do not establish why the latest operating cash inflow surged.
