Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc.
(NASDAQ:MARA) ("Marathon"
or "Company"), a leader in supporting and securing the
Bitcoin ecosystem, reported its financial and operational results
for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Third Quarter 2022 Financial
ResultsThe Company recorded a net loss of $(75.4) million,
or $(0.65) per share, during the quarter compared with a net loss
of $(22.2) million, or $(0.22) per share, in the prior-year
period.
Unfavorable earnings variances during the
quarter compared to the prior year quarter included:
- A total margin decline of $(68.8)
million resulting from:
- Lower revenues from decreased production and bitcoin prices,
totaling $(39.0) million
- Increases in cost of revenues due to accelerated cost
recognition from Hardin exit, totaling $(20.8) million
- Other cost of revenue increases, net, totaling $(9.0)
million
- A decrease in the carrying value of
digital currencies of $(5.9) million compared to an increase of
$35.4 million in the prior year period; a net change of $(41.3)
million
- An impairment charge related to the
previously announced Compute North bankruptcy filing of $(39.0)
million
- The previously announced legal
settlement reserve $(25.0) million
- Higher interest
expense of $(3.8) million
These unfavorable variances were partially
offset by:
- A decline in general and
administrative expenses primarily associated with lower stock
compensation costs: $86.9 million
- Gain on sales of assets related to
the previously announced development of King Mountain (McCamey, TX)
and the sale of assets upon exiting Hardin, MT: $31.9 million
- An income tax benefit of $5.7
million
The Company produced 616 bitcoin in Q3 2022, a
51% decrease from 1,252 bitcoin in the third quarter of 2021 and a
13% sequential decrease from 707 bitcoin in the prior quarter. The
lower production resulted from the previously announced exit from
the Company’s facility in Hardin, MT and delays in the initial
energization of the King Mountain facility in McCamey, TX. As the
Company began scaling operations at new facilities, bitcoin
production improved throughout the quarter. Year-to-date through
September 30, 2022, the Company produced 2,582 bitcoin, a 23%
increase over the same time period in the prior year. Year-to-date
through October 31, 2022, the Company produced 3,197 bitcoin, a 27%
increase over the same time period in the prior year.
As of September 30, the Company’s operating
mining fleet consisted of approximately 37,000 active miners,
producing approximately 3.8 EH/s. As of November 1, the Company’s
operating mining fleet consisted of approximately 69,000 active
miners, producing approximately 7.0 EH/s.
Management Commentary“The third
quarter of 2022 was a transition and rebuilding period at Marathon,
during which we fully exited the Hardin facility in Montana and
began energizing servers at new locations, most notably the
280-megawatt data center that resides behind the meter at the King
Mountain wind farm in McCamey, Texas,” said Fred Thiel, Marathon’s
chairman and CEO. “We sequentially improved our bitcoin production
each month during the quarter as we rebuilt our hash rate from
approximately 0.7 exahashes per second in early July to 3.8
exahashes per second by September 30. This progress continued
subsequent to the quarter’s end as we increased our hash rate an
additional 84% to approximately 7 exahashes per second by November
1. We also realized our highest production month to date in October
when we produced 615 bitcoin, nearly equal to our entire production
during the third quarter.
“We believe Marathon has a strong foundation on
which we can continue to build our hash rate. Our near-term goal is
to reach approximately 9.0 exahashes per second by the end of the
year, and we continue to target 23 exahashes per second near the
middle of 2023 as we strive to establish our position as a leader
in supporting and securing the bitcoin ecosystem.”

Investor Notice Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an
investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks,
uncertainties and forward-looking statements described under "Risk
Factors" in Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the
SEC on March 10, 2022. If any of these risks were to occur, our
business, financial condition or results of operations would likely
suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could
decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.
The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones
facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.
In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable
indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not
be used to anticipate results in the future. Future changes in the
network-wide mining difficulty rate or Bitcoin hash
rate may also materially affect the future performance of
Marathon's production of bitcoin. Additionally, all discussions of
financial metrics assume mining difficulty rates as of September
2022. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below.
Forward-Looking
Statements Statements made in this press release
include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can
be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “plan,”
“should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” or
comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements are
inherently subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties, many
of which the Company cannot predict with accuracy and some of which
the Company might not even anticipate and involve factors that may
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or
suggested. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements and are advised to consider the
factors listed above together with the additional factors under the
heading “Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Reports on Form
10-K, as may be supplemented or amended by the Company's Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q. The Company assumes no obligation to update
or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because
of subsequent events, new information or otherwise.

(1) Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
We provide investors with a reconciliation from
GAAP net income to the non-GAAP measure known as Adjusted EBITDA as
a component of this earnings release. For each period disclosed, we
define “Adjusted EBITDA” as (a) GAAP net income (or loss) plus (b)
adjustments to add back the impacts of (1) depreciation and
amortization, (2) interest expense, (3) income tax expense and (4)
adjustments for non-cash and non-recurring items, which currently
include: (i) stock compensation expense, net of withholding taxes
(ii) impairment of patents and (iii) impairment of assets due to a
vendor bankruptcy filing. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of
financial performance under GAAP and, as a result, this measure may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to material limitations as
they are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, measurements
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to
be considered in isolation and should be read only in conjunction
with our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Reports on
Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Management uses both Adjusted EBITDA and the supplemental
information provided herein as a means of understanding, managing
and evaluating business performance and to help inform operating
decision making. We rely primarily on our Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements to understand, manage, and evaluate our
financial performance and use the non-GAAP financial measures only
supplementally.
