Riot Platforms Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results, Current Operational and Financial Highlights

Riot Reports $84.8 million in Total Revenue and Deployed Hash Rate of 28 EH/s

CASTLE ROCK, Colo., October 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) (“Riot” or “the Company”), an industry leader in vertically integrated Bitcoin mining, reported financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024. The accompanying presentation materials are available on Riot’s website.

“I’m pleased to announce Riot’s results for the third quarter 2024, the first full quarter past the Bitcoin ‘halving’ event, during which Riot continued to achieve significant growth while maintaining industry-leading low power costs,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot. “Riot recorded $84.8 million in revenue this quarter, representing a 65% increase over the same quarter in 2023, driven by a 159% year-over-year increase in deployed hash rate to 28 EH/s at the end of the quarter. This significant increase in deployed hash rate allowed us to produce 1,104 Bitcoin this quarter, in-line with our Bitcoin production in the third quarter of 2023, despite the ‘halving’.

“During the quarter, Riot once again demonstrated the benefits of our unique power strategy, achieving an industry-leading average all-in cost of power of 3.1 cents/kWh. Riot’s flexibility to utilize power at our Corsicana Facility when the market price for power in ERCOT is low, coupled with the long-term fixed price PPA at our Rockdale Facility, gives Riot tremendous optionality to optimize our power costs and represents a key competitive advantage for us.

“Riot also ended the quarter having maintained our robust balance sheet strength, with approximately $1.3 billion in cash, restricted cash, marketable equity securities, and 10,427 Bitcoin held. Looking forward, I am incredibly excited about our future path, as our teams continue working to develop and deploy even more power capacity and hash rate across Texas and Kentucky, towards Riot’s next goal of achieving 100 EH/s in self-mining capacity.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial and Operational Highlights

Key financial and operational highlights for the third quarter include:

●Total revenue of $84.8 million, as compared to $51.9 million for the same three-month period in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a $36.3 million increase in Bitcoin Mining revenue.
●Produced 1,104 Bitcoin during the quarter, in-line with the 1,106 Bitcoin mined during the same three-month period in 2023 and despite the block subsidy ‘halving’ event which occurred in April 2024 and an increase in network difficulty.
●The average cost to mine Bitcoin, excluding depreciation, was $35,376 in the quarter, as compared to negative ($22,741) per Bitcoin for the same three-month period in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a 75% decrease in power credits received in Q3 2024 relative to power credits received in Q3 2023, the block subsidy ‘halving’ event, which occurred in April 2024, and a 59% increase in the average global network hash rate as compared to the same three-month period in 2023.
●Generated $12.4 million in power credits during the quarter, as compared to $49.6 million in power credits generated for the same three-month period in 2023.
●Bitcoin Mining revenue of $67.5 million for the quarter, as compared to $31.2 million for the same three-month period in 2023, primarily driven by higher average Bitcoin prices and an increase in operational hash rate, partially offset by an increase in network difficulty and the block subsidy ‘halving’ event.
●Engineering revenue of $12.6 million for the quarter, as compared to $15.5 million for the same three-month period in 2023.

​

●Maintained industry-leading financial position, with $590.6 million in working capital, including $355.7 million in cash on hand and $190.1 million in marketable equity securities.
●Held 10,427 in unencumbered Bitcoin (equating to approximately $660.3 million based on a market price for one Bitcoin on September 30, 2024, of $63,330), all of which were produced by the Company’s self-mining operations, as of September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 was $84.8 million, and consisted of $67.5 million in Bitcoin Mining revenue and $12.6 million in Engineering revenue. Other revenue, attributable to third-party hosting, totaled $4.8 million.

Bitcoin Mining gross profit, excluding depreciation, for the quarter was $28.4 million (42% Bitcoin Mining margin), as compared to $56.4 million (181% Bitcoin Mining margin) for the same three-month period in 2023. Bitcoin Mining cost of revenue consists primarily of direct production costs of mining operations, including electricity, labor, and insurance, but excluding depreciation and amortization.

Engineering gross loss, excluding depreciation, for the quarter was $(0.9) million, as compared to Engineering gross profit, excluding depreciation, of $2.3 million for the same three-month period in 2023.

Power curtailment credits received totaled approximately $12.4 million for the quarter, as compared to $49.6 million during the same three-month period in 2023.

Selling, general and administrative expenses during the quarter totaled $66.9 million, an increase of $37.9 million relative to the same period in 2023. This increase was driven by increases in stock-based compensation expenses of $13.5 million primarily related to new grants under our long-term incentive program, a $4.2 million increase in advisory expenses related to ongoing M&A activity and increased legal costs of $3.0 million primarily related to ongoing litigation.

Net loss for the quarter was $(154.4) million, or $(0.54) per share, compared to a net loss of $(80.0) million, or $(0.44) per share, for the same period in 2023. The net loss for the quarter included an unrealized loss on marketable equity securities of $38.0 million, non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $30.6 million, and depreciation and amortization of $60.0 million.

​

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $(3.6) million, as compared to $(3.1) million for the same three-month period in 2023.

Hash Rate Growth

Riot currently anticipates achieving a total self-mining hash rate capacity of 34.9 EH/s by the end of 2024, a decrease from prior guidance of 36.3 EH/s by the end of the year, primarily driven by slower than planned expansion in the recently acquired Kentucky facilities, which had previously been anticipated to come online this year and which are now expected to come online in 2025.

In addition, Riot now anticipates ending 2025 at 46.7 EH/s, lower than prior guidance of 56.6 EH/s.  This reduction is driven by previous 2025 expansion plans in Kentucky now being pushed out into 2026, and longer than anticipated lead times for the next substation at the Corsicana Facility, which will result in two new buildings coming online in 2025 versus prior expectations for three buildings.

Riot now expects to complete the full development of the Corsicana Facility in 2026 and, alongside expansion plans in the Kentucky Facilities, to achieve a hash rate capacity of 65.7 EH/s by the end of 2026.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

In addition to financial measures presented under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we consistently evaluate our use of and calculation of non-GAAP financial measures such as “Adjusted EBITDA.” EBITDA is computed as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure defined as EBITDA, adjusted to eliminate the effects of certain non-cash and/or non-recurring items that do not reflect our ongoing strategic business operations, which management believes results in a performance measurement that represents a key indicator of the Company’s core business operations of Bitcoin mining. The adjustments include fair value adjustments such as derivative power contract adjustments, equity securities value changes, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense, in addition to financing and legacy business income and expense items. We exclude impairments and gains or losses on sales or exchanges of Bitcoin from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for all periods presented.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA can be an important financial measure because it allows management, investors, and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our operating results, including our return on capital and operating efficiency from period-to-period by making such adjustments. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance metric for share-based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA is provided in addition to, and should not be considered to be a substitute for, or superior to, net income, the most comparable measure under GAAP for Adjusted EBITDA. Further, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to revenue growth, net income, diluted earnings per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider such measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP.

​

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to Net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP financial measure:

Statements in this presentation that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements that reflect management’s current expectations, assumptions, and estimates of future performance and economic conditions, and are not guarantees of future performance or actual results. Such statements are made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of acquisitions, including potential future financial and operating results, as well as the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “potential,” “hope,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements; however, forward-looking statements may be made without such signifying expressions. Because such forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations, assumptions and estimates of future performance and economic conditions, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: unaudited estimates of Bitcoin production; our future hash rate growth (EH/s); the anticipated benefits, construction schedule, and costs associated with the Corsicana Facility; our expected schedule of new miner deliveries; our ability to successfully deploy new miners; MW capacity under development; risks related to our realization of the benefits we anticipate from immersion-cooling; risks related to the success, schedule, cost and difficulty of integrating businesses we acquire; our failure to realize anticipated efficiencies and strategic and financial benefits from our acquisitions; and the impact that COVID-19 and other global events may have on us, our customers, our suppliers, and on economic conditions in connection with our estimated timelines, future performance and operations. Detailed information regarding the factors identified by the Company’s management which they believe may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation may be found in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as amended, and the other filings the Company makes with the SEC, copies of which may be obtained from the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. In addition to these risks and those identified by the Company’s management and disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, other risks, factors and uncertainties not identified by management, or which management does not presently believe to be material to the Company, its business or prospects, may also materially affect the Company’s actual future results, including in ways adverse to the Company’s business. All forward-looking statements included in this presentation are made only as of the date of this presentation, and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur, or of which the Company hereafter becomes aware, except as required by law. Persons reading this presentation are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. 2 Forward Looking Statements

Costs to finance the purchase of miners were zero in all periods presented as the miners were paid for with cash from the Company’s cash balance. The seller did not provide any financing, nor did the Company borrow from a third-party to purchase the miners. 3. Power curtailment credits are credited against our power invoices as a result of temporarily pausing our operations to participate in ERCOT’s Demand Response Service Programs. Our fixed-price power purchase contracts enable us to strategically curtail our mining operations and participate in these programs, which significantly lower our cost to mine Bitcoin. These credits are recognized in Power Curtailment Credits on our Consolidated Statement of Operations, outside of cost of revenue. 4. Computed as revenue recognized from Bitcoin mined divided by the quantity of Bitcoin mined during the same period. Cost of Power: The Company defines Cost of Power as the cost of power directly used in the process of mining Bitcoin, less power curtailment credits divided by the kilowatt (“kWh”) hours used. Power is overwhelmingly the largest marginal input cost in mining Bitcoin and a significant contributor to profitability. Miners with a low cost of power will also be able to profitability mine in a wider range of Bitcoin price and hash price scenarios. Cost to Mine: The Company defines Cost to Mine as the direct cost to mine one Bitcoin, excluding Bitcoin miner depreciation, as calculated in the table below. Cost to Mine represents the marginal profitability on operations of a Bitcoin miner. This number is frequently compared to the market price of Bitcoin to determine at what discount to the market price of Bitcoin a miner is earnings net Bitcoin. 2024 2023 2024 2023 Cost of power for self-mining operations $ 41,864 $ 22,460 $ 96,326 $ 65,513 Other direct cost of revenue for self-mining operations(1)(2), excluding Bitcoin miner depreciation 9,608 1,989 26,970 4,482 Cost of revenue for self-mining operations, excluding Bitcoin miner depreciation 51,472 24,449 123,296 69,995 Less: power curtailment credits(3) (12,417) (49,601) (31,445) (66,146) Cost of revenue for self-mining operations, net of power curtailment credits, excluding Bitcoin miner depreciation 39,055 (25,152) 91,851 3,849 Bitcoin miner depreciation 44,303 55,549 93,120 164,457 Cost of revenue for self-mining operations, net of power curtailment credits, including Bitcoin miner depreciation $ 83,358 $ 30,397 $ 184,971 $ 168,306 Quantity of Bitcoin mined 1,104 1,106 3,312 4,996 Production value of one Bitcoin mined(4) $ 61,133 $ 28,228 $ 58,771 $ 25,818 Cost to mine one Bitcoin, excluding Bitcoin miner depreciation $ 35,376 $ (22,741) $ 27,733 $ 770 Cost to mine one Bitcoin, excluding Bitcoin miner depreciation, as a % of production value of one Bitcoin mined 57.9% -80.6% 47.2% 3.0% Cost to mine one Bitcoin, including Bitcoin miner depreciation $ 75,506 $ 27,484 $ 55,849 $ 33,688 Cost to mine one Bitcoin, including Bitcoin miner depreciation, as a % of production value of one Bitcoin mined 123.5% 97.4% 95.0% 130.5% Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Total Cost of Power $ 50,620 $ 35,241 $ 121,823 $ 101,550 less Power curtailment credits (12,417) (49,601) (31,100) (63,922) Net Cost of Power $ 38,203 $ (14,360) $ 90,723 $ 37,628 kWh used 1,233,531,741 769,518,913 2,862,705,794 2,276,097,806 Cost of Power (c/kWh) $ 3.1 $ (1.9) $ 3.2 $ 1.7 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30,

22 Definitions, Terms, and Reconciliations (Unaudited) Hash Cost: The Company defines Hash Cost as Cost of Revenue for self-mining operations, net of Power Curtailment Credits, excluding Bitcoin miner depreciation divided by the average Petahash per second per day (“PH/s/Day”) produced by operations over the relevant period. Hash Cost measures the costs expended for each unit of hash rate online. Hash rate is the product Riot’s self-mining business provides to the Bitcoin network and what Riot gets paid for. Hash cost can be compared to hash price as an estimate of profitability of a mining operation. Hash Price: The Company defines Hash Price as the expected value of 1 Petahash of hashing power per day (“PH/s/Day”). This data is sourced from Luxor’s Hash Price Index. Hash Price is the revenue received by the Company for each unit of hash rate operating during the period. This metric can be compared to Hash Cost as an estimate of profitability of the mining operations.
