DMG Blockchain Solutions Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End Results Ending September 30, 2022

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 30, 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 fourth quarter and full fiscal-year financial results. All financial references are in Canadian Dollars unless specified otherwise.

Recent Highlights

  • Increased hashrate during fiscal year 2022 from 15 PH/s to 700 PH/s
  • Strong balance sheet at fiscal year-end with $10.5 million in cash and digital currency with no debt
  • For full year 2022, $43.2 million revenue, $1.5 million income before other items, $17.0 million net loss (-$0.10 per share)

Readers are encouraged to review the Company’s September 30, 2022 year-ended audited 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 managed through a very difficult crypto currency market with bitcoin-Canadian dollar price declining 56% during our financial year 2022.   Despite these challenging market conditions, we outperformed many of our competitors, which experienced severe financial hardships as a result of the industry downturn and subsequent environment resulting from the FTX situation. Our prudent approach to drive growth while carefully managing our balance sheet enabled us to execute and continue to generate positive cash operating income. We ended the financial year with $10.5 million worth of cash and digital currency and no debt.”

Steven Eliscu, Chief Operating Officer added, “In 2022, we built a sound base of leading-edge bitcoin mining capacity that we can continue to grow with the purchase of new miners, conversion of our existing mining assets to utilize immersion cooling technology, as well as the potential development of new sites. In addition, we believe in the future of our Core+ software strategy to monetize bitcoin transactions by building on our carbon-neutral pool, Terra Pool, monetizing our Petra technology for filtering in known good transactions, and creating a carbon-neutral bitcoin marketplace. We believe this suite of technologies will enable us to further grow our revenue in the long-term.”

Adrian Glover, Chief Technology Officer, continued, “2022 was a year for moving forward DMG’s software development, the results of which we expect to bear fruit in 2023 with an upgraded version of Terra Pool, deployment of Petra on the Bitcoin mainnet, and upgrades to our Helm mine management software, which would support our deployment of immersion cooling at scale.”

Financial Highlights

Revenue for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 was $43.2 million versus $10.2 million in the prior year period, an increase of 323%, mainly on the increase in bitcoin mining capacity. Additionally, there were increases in software license and related development income as compared to the prior year. These increases were offset by a decrease in equipment hosting revenue as the Company continues to move toward a focus on self-mining operations.

Revenue for the fourth quarter ending September 30, 2022 was $6.5 million versus $10.5 million in the prior quarter, a sequential decrease of 38%, and $2.5 million in the prior year period. The decline in revenues from the prior quarter was primarily driven by the 35% decline in the average price of bitcoin.

Income before other items for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 was $1.5 million versus -$6.8 million in the prior year period.

Operating and maintenance costs for the year ended September 30, 2022 was $13.0 million as compared to $6.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2021. The majority of this was due to an increase of $6.6 million in utilities costs, which is related to the increase in digital currency mining activity from the additional miners acquired during the year. Operating and maintenance costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $3.5 million as compared to $1.6 million in the same quarter in the prior year. The increase is a result of increases in utilities costs of $1.9 million, which is related to the increase in digital currency mining activity and the net increase in miners throughout the period.

Net loss for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 was $17.0 million, versus $9.6 million in the prior year period. Increases in revenue of $33.0 million were offset by increases in depreciation of $17.9 million and operating and maintenance costs of $6.5 million all related to the increase in installation of new miners for self-mining. Research costs increased by $1.5 million, mostly related to work on software development projects. Additionally, the Company recognized a decline in fair value on its investment in Brane of $3.0 million and its investment in Bosonic of $2.8 million as well as an impairment of the amount recoverable of $1.3 million. The increase in net loss was offset by a decrease in share-based compensation of $1.1 million.

Earnings per share for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 was -$0.10 versus -$0.07 in the prior year period.

As at September 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $1.2 million, digital currency of $9.3 million and total assets of $96.9 million. For more details, please refer to the Company’s filings.
