DMG Blockchain Solutions Reports First Quarter Results Ending December 31, 2022

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (OTCQB US: DMGGF) (FRANKFURT: 6AX) (“DMG”), a vertically integrated blockchain and cryptocurrency technology company, today announces its first quarter 2023 unaudited financial results. All financial references are in Canadian Dollars unless specified otherwise.

Recent Highlights

  • Revenue of $7.2 million on 274.70 mined bitcoin, net loss of -$7.0 million, -$0.04 net loss per share
  • DMG leads the industry having executed its Petra technology and using that technology to be the first to place carbon-neutral Ordinal transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain
  • DMG is cautiously investing in key infrastructure and software initiatives, focusing on optimizing its investments in the challenging crypto environment
  • Strong balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 with $10.9 million in cash and digital currency (453.06 bitcoin) and debt of $1 million

Readers are encouraged to review the Company’s December 31, 2022 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.sedar.com.

Sheldon Bennett, DMG Blockchain Solutions’ Chief Executive Officer, commented, “DMG has successfully executed its Petra technology, for which we are utilizing to place Ordinals (used to make inscriptions to represent ownership of NFTs or non-fungible tokens) on the Bitcoin blockchain. Petra ensures those NFT creators who want to utilize the most immutable digital asset ledger can do so in a carbon neutral manner. This is a huge step forward for the industry, as NFT creators have a new option they didn’t have previously for transacting their digital assets. These creations, whether they be art or music, stay recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain for all time, as miners are the guardians that ensure blockchain immutability. NFTs also can become a recurring revenue opportunity, as each time the NFT is to be transferred in a carbon neutral manner, the associated transaction fees may go to DMG and other Terra Pool members.”

Steven Eliscu, Chief Operating Officer added, “The company continues to manage its cash closely, with spending focused on its Core+ and immersion cooling initiatives and making incremental improvements to our mining operations. From a Core+ perspective, we are continuing developments that are bolstering our capabilities. Under the hood, we have upgraded our Terra Pool software, which includes making our infrastructure more scalable at lower costs. Our goal is to maximize revenue for DMG and pool members, making a green pool attractive not just because it’s carbon neutral but also because it’s more profitable.”

Financial Highlights

Revenue for the first quarter ending December 31, 2022 was $7.2 million versus $14.3 million in the year-ago quarter, a decrease of 50%, driven primarily by a 65% year-over-year decline in the quarterly average bitcoin price, which was in part offset by a 50% increase in the amount of mined bitcoin to 274.70 from 183.20 in the prior-year period.

Operating and maintenance costs for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was $4.4 million as compared to $2.8 million in the year-ago period. The majority of this increase was due to utility costs, which increased $1.6 million during the period. This increase was the result of an increase in digital currency mining activity from additional miners acquired during the year.

General and administrative expenses increased to $948 thousand in the quarter ending December 31, 2022 versus $701 thousand in the prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to higher wages, which increased by $215 thousand during the period.

Net loss for the quarter was $7.0 million, versus a net profit of $5.0 million in the prior-year period. The loss was primarily the result of lower revenues combined with increasing operating and maintenance costs of $1.7 million, higher depreciation expenses of $2.6 million and unrealized revaluation losses on digital currency of $1.4 million. This was partially offset by lower share-based compensation expenses of $0.8 million.

Earnings per share for the first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022 was negative $0.04 versus positive $0.03 in the prior year period.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $684 thousand, digital currency of $10.3 million and total assets of $92.1 million. For more details, please refer to the Company’s filings.
