Benzinga08-28

Highlights

  • Revenues of $29.3 million for H1 2024 compared to $24.0 million for H1 2023, an 18% increase, driven primarily by an increase in Bitcoin price. Revenue in the first half of 2024 compared to 2023 increased despite the Bitcoin halving and a decrease in the number of Bitcoin mined. The total number of Bitcoin ("BTC") mined during H1 2024 was 507, a 46% decrease from H1 2023 of 947. This is primarily due to the increase in the global hashrate and the reduction in the bitcoin denominated hash price.

  • Mining margin of $11.5 million or 39% for H1 2024, compared to $10.2 million or 42% for H1 2023.

  • On 8 January 2024, Argo raised gross proceeds of $9.9 million through the issue of 38,064,000 ordinary shares at a price per share of £0.205 to certain institutional investors.

  • On 28 March 2024, the Company closed the sale of its five megawatt data centre located in Mirabel, Quebec for total consideration of $6.1 million. The Company relocated the mining machines from the Mirabel Facility to its facility in Baie Comeau, Quebec, and the Company expects this consolidation to reduce its non-mining operating expenses by $0.7 million per year.

  • Reduced the Galaxy loan by $18.2 million from $23.5 million at 1 January 2024 to $5.3 million at 30 June 2024. In August 2024, the Galaxy loan was repaid in full.

  • Recorded a $22 million impairment on its mining machines reflecting current mining economics.

  • Net loss was $32.7 million for H1 2024, compared to a net loss of $18.6 million in H1 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $5.7 million for H1 2024 compared to $2.8 million in H1 2023.

  • The Company ended June 2024 with $4.0 million of cash and 11 Bitcoin equivalent. On 31 July 2024, the Company raised $8.3 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of 57.8 million shares and 57.8 million warrants through a private share placement with an institutional investor. The shares were issued at £0.1125 and the warrants have an exercise price of £0.1125
