Bitdeer Reports Financial Results for the Full Year 2022 and Operational Update

SINGAPORE, April 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) (“Bitdeer” or the “Company”), a world-leading technology company for the cryptocurrency mining community, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Full Year 2022 Financial and Operational Highlights

  • Total revenue was $333.3 million in 2022, compared to $394.7 million in 2021, primarily due to a decrease in revenue generated from proprietary mining, sales of mining machines, and Cloud Hash Rate, partially offset by an increase in revenue generated from three types of hosting services, which was partially driven by an expansion of the Company’s mining datacenter operations.
  • Net loss was $60.4 million in 2022, compared to a net profit of $82.6 million in 2021.
  • Adjusted profit1 was $30.3 million in 2022, compared to $171.0 million in 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 was $93.2 million in 2022, compared to $281.8 million in 2021, primarily due to a decrease in revenue, an increase in electricity cost in operating and hosting mining machines, a decrease in gain on disposal of cryptocurrencies, and an increase in operational expenses.
  • Managing hash rate was 14.0 exahash per second (“EH/s”) as of December 31, 2022, a 72.8% increase from 8.1EH/s as of December 31, 2021.
  • Electricity capacity was 775MW as of December 31, 2022, a 92.8% increase from 402MW as of December 31, 2021.

Linghui Kong, Chief Executive Officer of Bitdeer, said, “Despite the volatility in cryptocurrency prices and temporary dislocation in the crypto industry, we bucked the trend and achieved a positive adjusted net profit and a positive adjusted EBITDA in the full year of 2022, thus demonstrating the viability and resilience of our business model. We successfully expanded our infrastructure to 775 megawatts in electricity capacity in 2022, and plan to increase our scale even further to up to 1,524 megawatts in the future. Meanwhile, through prudent expense management, we maintained an abundant capital reserve as of the end of 2022, including $231.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $31.1 million in fiat currency investment redeemable on demand. Becoming a public company in the United States on April 14, 2023 marks the beginning of a new journey for us, a journey we plan to traverse with renewed energy, sharpened vision, and unwavering commitment to generating lasting value for our shareholders.”

Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Revenue

Total revenue was $333.3 million, compared to $394.7 million in the full year of 2021.

  • Revenue from proprietary mining business was $62.4 million, compared to $191.7 million in the full year of 2021, primarily due to the price drop of Bitcoin and a decrease in the comparative number of Bitcoin mined from proprietary mining, resulting from a decrease in the amount of hash rate allocated to the Company’s proprietary mining business as a percentage of the total network hash rate.
  • Revenue from Cloud Hash Rate was $121.3 million, compared to $124.2 million in the full year of 2021, primarily due to increases in revenue from hash rate subscription and revenue from electricity subscription, offset by a decrease in revenue from additional consideration from acceleration plan arrangements.
  • Revenue from Cloud Hosting was $12.7 million, compared to $7.6 million in the full year of 2021, primary because nearly half of Cloud Hosting orders in 2021 were subscribed in the second half of 2021, which contributed to the revenue in 2022, while nearly all Cloud Hosting orders in 2022 contributed to the revenue in 2022.
  • Revenue from General Hosting was $99.3 million, compared to $18.3 million in the full year of 2021, primarily due to an increase in the mining site capacity as a result of the expansion of the Company’s mining datacenter operations.
  • Revenue from Membership Hosting was $26.1 million, compared to nil in the full year of 2021, primarily due to revenue generated from the Company’s North America mining datacenter, which began to deliver capacity in the second half of 2022.
  • Revenue from sales of mining machines was $0.7 million, compared to $45.7 million in the full year of 2021. The Company currently does not expect to sell mining machines in the near-future.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In evaluating the Company’s business, the Company considers and uses non-IFRS measures, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted profit/(loss), as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude share-based payment expenses under IFRS 2, and defines adjusted profit/(loss) as profit/(loss) adjusted to exclude share-based payment expenses under IFRS 2. The Company presents these non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by its management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of these non-IFRS measures facilitate investors’ assessment of its operating performance. These measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, investors should not consider these measures in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, the Company’s profit/(loss) for the periods, as determined in accordance with IFRS.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling these non-IFRS financial measures to the nearest IFRS performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The Company encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

The following table presents a reconciliation of profit/(loss) for the relevant period to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted profit/(loss), for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
