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 third quarter 2024 financial results. All financial references are in Canadian Dollars unless specified otherwise.

Q3 2024 Financial Results Highlights

  • Q3 2024 revenue up 11% over the prior year to $8.3M, driven by self-mining revenues increasing 5%
  • Net income of negative $3.8 million, a smaller loss versus the year-ago period
  • 87 bitcoin mined in the third quarter, down from 152 bitcoin in the prior quarter, with a hashrate of 0.95 EH/s and fleet efficiency of 25.6 J/T
  • Operating cash flow in the third quarter of -$1.3 million versus $4.5 million in the prior quarter
  • Strong balance sheet with $39.6 million in cash and digital currency, $111 million in total assets

Sheldon Bennett, DMG Blockchain Solutions’ Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The June 2024 quarter was a transitional quarter, marked by the once-every-four-year halvening event, which negatively affected our mined bitcoin. While we are encouraged by the execution of our Systemic Trust subsidiary toward becoming a qualified custodian, we missed our target to deploy our new fleet of 4,550 Bitmain T21 miners due to supply chain issues. Going forward, we are highly focused on regaining profitability by increasing our hashrate, improving our fleet efficiency and continuing to execute on our Core+ software initiatives.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results Review

Revenue for the third fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024 was $8.3 million versus $7.5 million in the year-ago period, an increase of 11%, primarily due to an increase in self-mining revenue. The increase in digital currency mining revenue was a result of bitcoin price increasing 139% over the year-ago period to an average of $89,990 in the June quarter. This increase was partially offset by a 71% increase in Bitcoin network difficulty from the same period last year.

Operating and maintenance costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $4.7 million compared to $4.2 million in the same quarter in the prior year. The increase is attributed to utility expenses, driven by the expansion of digital currency mining operations and the addition of new miners.

General and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.5 million compared to $0.9 million in the same quarter in the prior year. General and administrative costs increased due to the operations related to Systemic Trust ramping up.

Depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $5.0 million compared to $5.3 million in the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease is based on the depreciation of existing assets, offset by an increase in mining equipment installed during the period.

Net loss for the three months ending June 30, 2024 was $3.8 million versus a loss of $4.3 million in the prior year period. Earnings per share for the third fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024 was -$0.02 versus -$0.03 in the prior year period.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $0.9 million, digital currency of $38.7 million and total assets of $111.4 million. For more details, please refer to the Company’s filings.

Readers are encouraged to review the Company’s June 30, 2024 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.
