DMG Blockchain Solutions Reports First Quarter 2024 Results Ending December 31, 2023

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (OTCQB US: DMGGF) (FRANKFURT: 6AX) (“DMG”), a vertically integrated blockchain and data center technology company, today announces its fiscal first quarter 2024 financial results. All financial references are in Canadian Dollars unless specified otherwise.

Q1 2024 Financial Results Highlights

  • Q1 2024 results of $9.7 million revenue, $1.5 million operating loss before other items, $7.0 million net income and $0.04 per share
  • 196 bitcoin mined, up 35% from the prior quarter on 0.96 EH/s, up 45% from the prior quarter
  • $3.7 million cash flow from operations, up 163% from the prior quarter
  • Signed agreement with Bitmain Technologies in December to purchase 4,550 T21 190 TH/s bitcoin miners, which is expected to approximately double hashrate to about 2 EH/s
  • Strong balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 with $27.7 million in cash and digital currency, $91.0 million in total assets

Sheldon Bennett, DMG Blockchain Solutions’ Chief Executive Officer, commented, “DMG Q1 2024 results benefitted from the confluence of our 45% higher hashrate and a 30% increase in the quarterly average price of bitcoin versus the prior quarter. With the purchase of 4,550 new 190 TH/s T21 miners and the infrastructure needed to energize those miners, we are positioned to approximately double our electrical infrastructure and hashrate. Regarding our Core+ Blockseer software strategy, we continue to invest in both Bitcoin network software infrastructure and applications, and we remain encouraged regarding the opportunity to monetize bitcoin transactions.”

Q1 2024 Financial Results Review

Revenue for the first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023 was $9.7 million versus $7.2 million in the prior year period, an increase of 35%, primarily due to the increase in digital currency mining revenues as a result of bitcoin price increasing 100% over the year-ago period to an average of $49,129 in the December quarter. This increase was partially offset by an 81% increase in Bitcoin network difficulty that lowered DMG’s bitcoin generation per EH/s by 37% from the same period last year. In addition, revenue was also partially offset by a loss in net pool revenue of $1.0 million.

Income before other items for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was -$1.5 million versus -$5.3 million in the prior year period.

Operating and maintenance costs for the three months ended December 31, 2023 were $5.1 million as compared to $4.4 million in the same quarter in the prior year. The increase is a result of a rise in utilities expense, driven by expanded digital currency mining operations related to additional miners.

Net income for the three months ending December 31, 2023 was $7.0 million versus a loss of $7.0 million in the prior year period. The improvement in net income was driven primarily by an increase in unrealized revaluation gain on digital currency, which was a gain of $8.2 million versus a loss of $1.4 million in the prior year period. In addition, it was also driven by an increase in revenue of $2.5 million and a decrease in depreciation of $1.7 million, partially offset by an increase in operating and maintenance costs of $0.7 million all related to the increase in installation of new miners for self-mining. Research costs increased slightly to $0.4 million.

Earnings per share for the first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023 was $0.04 versus -$0.04 in the prior year period.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $2.2 million, digital currency of $25.5 million and total assets of $91.0 million. For more details, please refer to the Company’s filings.

Readers are encouraged to review the Company’s December 31, 2023 quarterly unaudited financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis thereof for a fulsome assessment of the Company’s performance and applicable risk factors, available at www.sedarplus.ca.

Future changes in the Bitcoin network-wide mining difficulty rate or Bitcoin hash rate may materially affect the future performance of DMG’s production of bitcoin, and future operating results could also be materially affected by the price of bitcoin and an increase in hash rate mining difficulty.

Forward-looking statements consist of statements that are not purely historical, including any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations, or intentions regarding the future. Such information can generally be identified by the use of forwarding-looking wording such as "may", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "intend", "believe" and "continue" or the negative thereof or similar variations. The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of any forward-looking information may prove to be incorrect. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted, as a result of numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including but not limited to, market and other conditions, volatility in the trading price of the common shares of the Company, business, economic and capital market conditions; the ability to manage operating expenses, which may adversely affect the Company's financial condition; the ability to remain competitive as other better financed competitors develop and release competitive products; regulatory uncertainties; access to equipment; market conditions and the demand and pricing for products; the demand and pricing of bitcoins; security threats, including a loss/theft of DMG's bitcoins; DMG's relationships with its customers, distributors and business partners; the inability to add more power to DMG's facilities; DMG's ability to successfully define, design and release new products in a timely manner that meet customers' needs; the ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; competition in the industry; the impact of technology changes on the products and industry; failure to develop new and innovative products; the ability to successfully maintain and enforce our intellectual property rights and defend third-party claims of infringement of their intellectual property rights; the impact of intellectual property litigation that could materially and adversely affect the business; the ability to manage working capital; and the dependence on key personnel. DMG may not actually achieve its plans, projections, or expectations. Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future, including the demand for its products, the ability to successfully develop software, that there will be no regulation or law that will prevent the Company from operating its business, anticipated costs, the ability to secure sufficient capital to complete its business plans, the ability to achieve goals and the price of bitcoin. Given these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The securities of DMG are considered highly speculative due to the nature of DMG's business. For further information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties, refer to the Company’s filings on www.sedarplus.ca. In addition, DMG’s past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, failure to obtain regulatory approval, the continued availability of capital and financing, equipment failures, lack of supply of equipment, power and infrastructure, failure to obtain any permits required to operate the business, the impact of technology changes on the industry, the impact of Covid-19 or other viruses and diseases on the Company's ability to operate, secure equipment, and hire personnel, competition, security threats including stolen bitcoins from DMG or its customers, consumer sentiment towards DMG's products, services and blockchain technology generally, failure to develop new and innovative products, litigation, adverse weather or climate events, increase in operating costs, increase in equipment and labor costs, equipment failures, decrease in the price of Bitcoin, failure of counterparties to perform their contractual obligations, government regulations, loss of key employees and consultants, and general economic, market or business conditions.
