Digihost Announces Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
March 05 2025 - 4:05PM
Digihost Technology Inc. (“
Digihost” or the
“
Company”) (Nasdaq / TSXV: DGHI), an innovative
energy infrastructure company that develops cutting-edge data
centers, today announced that it has filed an amended annual report
on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the
“
2023 Annual Report” and, as so amended, the
“
Amended 2023 Annual Report”) with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “
SEC”),
which contains restated financial statements for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (the “
Restatement
Periods”) and related updates to management’s discussion
and analysis for the Restatement Period. In connection with the
SEC’s review of the 2023 Annual Report (the “
SEC
Review”), and in consultation with members of management
and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the Company
determined that its previously issued consolidated financial
statements for the Restatement Periods that were included in the
2023 Annual Report and the related management’s discussion and
analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023 were required to be
restated to correct a material error in the classification of
proceeds derived from the sale of digital assets. Digihost
previously categorized proceeds derived from the sale of digital
assets as a cash flow from operating activities. In conjunction
with the SEC review, it was determined that proceeds from the sale
of digital assets should instead be classified as cash flow from
investing activities.
Shareholders and users of the Company’s
financial statements should note that the restatement is not a
result of any change to the Company’s operations, business or
financial operating performance for the Restatement Periods. For
any and all of the Restatement Periods, there was no impact on the
Company’s overall cash position or net cash flows.
A summary of the restated financial statements
is available in the tables set forth below (expressed in thousands
of U.S. dollars). More details may be found in the revised
financial statements and related revised management’s discussion
and analysis included in the Amended 2023 Annual Report, which are
available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.

Statements
Except for the statements of historical fact,
this news release contains “forward-looking information” and
“forward-looking statements” (collectively, “forward-looking
information”) that are based on expectations, estimates and
projections as at the date of this news release and are covered by
safe harbors under Canadian and United States securities laws.
Forward-looking information in this news release includes
information about potential further improvements to profitability

that the Company identifies additional material weaknesses in its
control over financial reporting; the ability of the Company to
remediate known material weaknesses; future capital needs and
uncertainty of additional financing; share dilution resulting from

increasing Bitcoin holdings and the impact of depreciating Bitcoin
prices on working capital; effects on Bitcoin prices as a result of
the most recent Bitcoin halving; development of additional
facilities and installation of infrastructure to expand operations
may not be completed on the timelines anticipated by the Company,
or at all; ability to access additional power from the local power
grid and realize the potential of the clean energy strategy on
terms which are economic or at all; a decrease in cryptocurrency
pricing, volume of transaction activity or generally, the
profitability of cryptocurrency mining; further improvements to
profitability and efficiency may not be realized; development of
additional facilities to expand operations may not be completed on
the timelines anticipated by the Company; ability to access
additional power from the local power grid; an increase in natural

information in this news release reflects the current expectations,
assumptions and/or beliefs of the Company based on information

Company has made assumptions about: the current profitability in
mining cryptocurrency (including pricing and volume of current
transaction activity); profitable use of the Company’s assets going
forward; the Company’s ability to profitably liquidate its digital
currency inventory as required; historical prices of digital
currencies and the ability of the Company to mine digital
currencies on the cloud will be consistent with historical prices;
the ability to maintain reliable and economical sources of power to
run its cryptocurrency mining assets; the negative impact of
regulatory changes in the energy regimes in the jurisdictions in
which the Company operates; and there will be no regulation or law
that will prevent the Company from operating its business. The
Company has also assumed that no significant events occur outside
of the Company's normal course of business. Although the Company
believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking
information are reasonable, forward-looking information is not a
guarantee of future performance and accordingly undue reliance
should not be put on such information due to the inherent
uncertainties therein. The Company undertakes no obligation to
