|
• |
Total revenue was US$69.0 million vs. US$114.8 million.
|
• |
Self-mining revenue was US$41.5 million vs. US$46.9 million, primarily due to the effect of the April 2024 halving and higher global network hashrate, partially offset by the increase in the
average self-mining hashrate for the quarter by 20.0% to 8.4 EH/s from 7.0 EH/s last year and higher year-over-year Bitcoin prices.
|
• |
Cloud Hash Rate revenue was US$2.3 million vs. US$16.2 million. The decline was primarily due to expiration of long-term Cloud Hashrate contracts and
subsequent reallocation of nearly all machines to self-mining operations over the course of 2024.
|
• |
General Hosting revenue was US$8.5 million vs. US$25.2 million. The decline was primarily due to the expiration of certain hosting customer contracts as well as the removal of older and less
efficient machines by other hosting customers following the April 2024 halving as a result of reduced mining economics.
|
• |
Membership Hosting revenue was US$12.4 million vs. US$23.4 million. Similar to general hosting, the decline was primarily driven by customers scaling down operations for older and less efficient
rigs following the April 2024 halving as a result of reduced mining economics.
|
• |
Cost of revenue was US$63.9 million vs US$87.8 million. The decrease was primarily driven by lower depreciation expenses as certain mining rigs became fully depreciated and the decrease of power
usage along with the reduced hosted mining rigs.
|
• |
Gross profit was US$5.1 million vs. US$27.0 million.
|
• |
Gross margin was 7.4% vs. 23.5%.
|
• |
The sum of the operating expenses below was US$42.5 million vs. US$27.4 million.
|
|
• |
Selling expenses were US$2.0 million vs. US$2.0 million, flat year-over-year.
|
|
• |
General and administrative expenses were US$17.7 million vs. US$17.1 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in staff costs for general and administrative personnel and consulting fee for capital market and compliance
activities, partially offset by lower share-based payment expenses.
|
|
• |
Research and development expenses were US$22.9 million vs. US$8.3 million, primarily due to higher R&D costs related to higher engineering costs related to the Company’s ASIC development roadmap and non-cash amortization expenses of
intangible assets related to the acquisition of FreeChain.
|
• |
In Q4 2024, we recorded US$479.8 million other net loss primarily due to the non-cash expense of fair value changes of derivative liabilities, which are the US$413.7 million of loss on fair value changes for the convertible notes issued
in August and November and the US$55.8 million of loss on fair value changes for the Tether warrants.
|
• |
Net loss was US$531.9 million vs. US$5.0 million.
|
• |
Adjusted loss was US$36.9 million vs. adjusted profit of US$4.52 million. The change was primarily due to the year-over-year revenue decline, lower gross profit margins and higher
operating expenses as described above.
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA was negative US$3.8 million vs. positive US$33.32 million. The decrease was primarily due to the year-over-year revenue decline, lower gross profit margins as a result of
the halving and higher R&D as described above.
|
• |
Net cash used in operating activities was US$325.1 million, primarily driven by electricity costs and operating expenses for the quarter as well working capital payments to TSMC of US$190.6 million for SEAL02 and US$52.8 million for the
tapeout of SEAL03, including risk wafers.
|
• |
Net cash used in investing activities was US$10.0 million, which included US$48.4 million of capital expenditures for infrastructure construction and mining rigs, offset by US$38.8 million of proceeds from disposal of cryptocurrencies
received from our principal business.
|
• |
Net cash generated from financing activities was US$522.8 million, primarily driven by the proceeds from our convertible note issuance in November and ATM program.
|
• |
US$476.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, US$77.5 million in cryptocurrencies and US$208.1 million in borrowing.
|
• |
US$310.2 million prepayments and other assets, up from US$97.1 million. Change primarily driven by advanced payments to TSMC for our SEAL02 mass volume production.
|
• |
US$64.9 million inventories, up from nearly zero. Increase mainly including wafers, chips, WIP and finished SEALMINER inventory.
|
• |
US$83.2 million intangible assets and US$35.8 million goodwill mainly raised from acquisition of Norway and Freechain during the year of 2024.
|
• |
US$763.9 million derivative liabilities mainly due to the issuance of warrants to Tether, and convertible senior notes issued in August and November.
