Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2024 / Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. (Nasdaq:GRYP) ("Gryphon," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us"), a bitcoin mining company that is independently certified to be 100% renewable and pursuing a negative carbon strategy, today reported financial results for its quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"Gryphon reached milestones in both hashrate and energy efficiency during the second quarter of 2024, setting new company records," said Rob Chang, the CEO of Gryphon Digital Mining. "We set a new company record in quarterly hashrate of 899 PH/s in Q2/24, a 20% increase over Q2/23. We also achieved a record monthly performance in energy efficiency at 28.5 joules per terahash ("J/T") in June. Furthermore, Gryphon's industry-leading operational efficiency resulted in a Q2/24 breakeven cost per bitcoin of approximately $45,452.

"Looking ahead, our goal is to expand our control of low-cost power. We've evaluated over 25 acquisition prospects, ensuring they meet our high standards for value and strategic impact. A key part of our strategy is securing low-cost electricity, which we see as vital for long-term success in bitcoin mining and high-performance computing. "

Q2 2024 and Recent Highlights

  • Total mining revenue in Q2 2024 of $5.5 million, compared to $4.9 million in Q2 2023.

  • Breakeven Cost1 per Bitcoin in Q2 2024 was $45,452, compared to $34,063 in Q2 2023. The company continues to be focused on Breakeven Costs, which we believe is the best measure of what it costs to mine bitcoin on an operating basis, as opposed to sharing only electricity costs, which leaves out the other costs of mining.

  • The Company recognized a net loss of $4.0 million in Q2 2024, which includes net non-cash expenses of $2.5 million. Net non-cash expenses consisted of items including: depreciation, employee stock-based compensation expense, fair market value of common stock issued to consultants, unrealized (gain) loss on marketable equity securities, change in the fair value of notes payable and unrealized gain on digital assets. This compares to a net loss in Q2 2023 of $2.6 million, which includes net non-cash expenses of $4.8 million.

  • Adjusted EBITDA2 was a loss of $3.0 million in Q2 2024, compared to $4.2 million in Q2 2023. The loss was largely attributed to higher than normal marketing expenses as the company moved to showcase its recent merger and listing on Nasdaq

  • Qualified for inclusion in the Russell Microcap Index, which was effective as of July 1st

  • Stock Repurchase Program: Gryphon has authorized a stock repurchase program, allowing for the buyback of up to $5 million of its common stock, emphasizing the company's dedication to enhancing shareholder value while maintaining a balanced approach to capital allocation moving forward

  • Miner Upgrades Completed Ahead of Schedule: Gryphon successfully completed its miner upgrade program ahead of schedule, which management believes positions the company for significant improvements in operational efficiency. The miner upgrades add approximately 23 PH/s to Gryphon's hashing power and enhances the average fleet efficiency to 28.5 J/T. Following the upgrades, Gryphon's self-mining hashrate has reached approximately 0.94 EH/s in capacity, consistent with the company's commitment to maintaining a strong and efficient mining operation.

  • The Company mined approximately 84 and 187 Bitcoin in the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(1) The Company defines Breakeven Cost per Bitcoin as (a) Cost of Revenues (excluding depreciation) divided by (b) total Bitcoin generated and received from the hashrate contributed to the mining pool operator. The Company mined approximately 84 and 187 Bitcoin in the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(2) The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as (a) GAAP net income (loss) plus (b) adjustments to add back the impacts of (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) interest expense, (3) income tax expense (benefit) and (4) adjustments for non-cash and non-recurring items which currently include (i) stock compensation expense, (ii) change in fair value of notes payable and (iii) unrealized (gain) loss on marketable equity securities.

Balance Sheet Highlights as of June 30, 2024

Assets

  • Cash and cash equivalents: $1.2 million

  • Bitcoin: $1.0 million

  • Total current assets: $3.2 million

  • Total mining assets (including deposits & intangible assets): $8.2 million\

  • Total assets: $11.4 million

Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity

  • Current liabilities: $25.4 million

  • Total liabilities: $25.4 million

Outlook

We continue to focus on growth and have expanded our target set in response to the realities that we have noticed during our review of acquisition opportunities. Mining operations that are up for sale are those that generally do not have attractive cost profiles. While we may have been able to acquire several high cost high-cost miners to grow our hashrate, we believe those would have only been temporary solutions as high-cost operations are not sustainable over the long term. As such, our attention has turned towards acquiring low-cost power that will position Gryphon not only for success in the near-term, but also for the next few halvings.

Along with our focus on acquiring low-cost power, we continue to focus on maintaining our industry-leading operational efficiency and look to produce even greater margin per bitcoin, which if sustained, would create differentiation from other miners in the industry.

Non-GAAP Figures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company also provides adjusted EBITDA and Breakeven Costs, which are non-GAAP measures. Each of these are not financial measures of performance under GAAP and, as a result, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to material limitations as they are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, measurements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read only in conjunction with our Current Reports on Form 8-K, Interim Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Breakeven Costs as a means of understanding, managing, and evaluating business performance and to help inform operating decision making. The Company relies primarily on its condensed consolidated financial statements to understand, manage, and evaluate our financial performance and uses the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. Reconciliations for each of these non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP financial measures are provided below.
