14 — Segment Reporting
- SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company hasthree operating segments: Colocation, Digital Asset Self-Mining, and Digital Asset Hosted Mining.
The Colocation segment provides HDC services to customers employing AI and HPC workloads and generates revenue through licensing agreements and orders with licensees that include fixed and variable payments on a recurring basis. The Digital Asset Self-Mining segment performs digital asset mining for the Company’s own account and generates revenue from operating owned digital infrastructure and computer equipment as part of mining pools in exchange for digital assets. The Digital Asset Hosted Mining segment provides hosting services to third parties for digital asset mining through consumption-based contracts.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. The CODM uses gross profit to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Gross profit is used to evaluate actual results against expectations based on comparable prior results, current budget, and current forecast, and to inform decisions about how profits and cash flows will be reinvested or otherwise deployed. The CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset or liability information; accordingly, the Company has not presented a measure of assets by segment. The segments’ accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company excludes certain operating expenses and other expenses from the allocations to operating segments; these items are presented in the reconciliation of segment gross profit to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes below.
