Business Update 1 August 4, 2026
Forward -Looking Statements This communication contains certain forward -looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws of the United S tates. The Company intends such forward -looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward -looking state ments contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Any st ate ments made in this communication that are not statements of historical fact, such as, statements about the Company’s beliefs and expectations regarding its future results of operations and financial position, its planned business model and strategy, its data center development, timing and likelihoo d o f success, capacity, functionality and timing of operation of data centers, expectations regarding the operations of data cen ters, potential strategic initiatives, such as joint ventures and partnerships, and management plans and objectives, are forward -looking statements and should be evaluated as such. These for ward - looking statements generally are identified by the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could ,” “seeks,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “strategy,” “future,” “forecasts,” “opportunity,” “predicts,” “potential,” “would,” “will likely result,” “continue,” and similar expressions (including the negative versions of such words or expressions). These forward -looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Cipher and its ma nagement, are inherently uncertain. Such forward -looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, an d it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ material ly from the forward -looking statements in this communication, including but not limited to: volatility in the price of Cipher’s securities due to a variety of factors, incl uding changes in the competitive and regulated industry in which Cipher operates, Cipher’s evolving business model and strategy and efforts it may make to modify aspects of its business model or engage in various strategic initiatives, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulatio ns affecting Cipher’s business, and the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations and to identify a nd realize additional opportunities. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties describe d in the “Risk Factors” section of Cipher’s Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 24, 2026, Cipher’s Quarterly Report on Form 10 -Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026 to be filed with the SEC, and in Cipher’s subsequent filings with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that co uld cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward -looking statements. Forward -looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward -looking statements, and Cipher assumes no obligation and, exce pt as required by law, does not intend to update or revise these forward -looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Financial and other important information regarding the Company is routinely posted on and accessible through the Investors’ Website. Cipher uses its Investors’ Website as a distribution channel of material information about the Company, including through press releases, investor presentations, rep orts and notices of upcoming events. Cipher intends to utilize its Investors’ Website as a channel of distribution to reach publ ic investors and as a means of disclosing material non - public information for complying with disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.

Non -GAAP Financial Measures This communication includes supplemental financial measures Adjusted EBITDA, that excludes the impact of ( i) interest income, (ii) interest expense, (iii) income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) the non -cash change in fai r value of derivative asset, (vi) share -based compensation expense, (vii) nonrecurring gains and losses, (viii) the non -cash change in fair value of warrant liability, (ix) non -cash losses related to mi ners reclassified as held for sale, (x) impairment of long -lived assets, and (xi) non -cash disposal of miners. Beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company changed its primary non -GAAP performance from "Adjusted Earnin gs (Loss)" to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA differs from Adjusted Earnings (Loss) only in that, in addition to the adjustm ent s previously made to compute Adjusted Earnings (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA also excludes interest expense, interest income, and current income tax expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is more re pre sentative of the Company's core operating performance, more comparable to measures used by industry peers, and more useful to investors evaluating our underlying business. The reconciliation table below presents Adjusted EBITDA for both periods presented under the Company’s new methodology. The Compa ny does not intend to report Adjusted Earnings (Loss) in future periods. These supplemental financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under accounting principles generally acc ept ed in the United States (“GAAP”) and, as a result, these supplemental financial measures may not be comparable to similarly t itled measures of other companies. Management uses these non -GAAP financial measures internally to help understand, manage, and evaluate our business performance and to help make operating decisions. We believe the use of these non -GAAP financial measures can also facilitate comparison of our operatin g results to those of our competitors by excluding certain items that vary in our industry based on company policy. Non -GAAP financial measures are subject to material limitations as they are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, measure ments prepared in accordance with GAAP. For example, we expect that share -based compensation expense, which is excluded from the non -GAAP financial measure, will continue to be a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part of the compensation provided to certain emp loyees, officers and directors. Similarly, we expect that depreciation and amortization will continue to be a recurring expense over the term of the useful life of the related assets. Our non -GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read only in conjunction with our cond ensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this communication, which have been prepared in accordance with GA AP. We rely primarily on such condensed consolidated financial statements to understand, manage and evaluate our business performance and use the non -GAAP financial mea sures only supplementally.
