    CleanSpark Reports Third Quarter FY2024 Financial Results

    14 Mins Read


    FY2024 Third Quarter Revenue of $104.1 million, net loss of ($236.2) million and Adjusted EBITDA of ($12.7) million  

    Revenue grows 129% year over year 

    Current hashrate surpasses 22 EH/s 

    Partners with Coinbase on $50 million line of credit

    LAS VEGAS, Aug. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) (the “Company”), America’s Bitcoin Miner®, today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

    “We had a tremendous quarter with a 24% increase in hashrate during the quarter and an 21% increase in efficiency year to date. We are also executing on expansions into two new states, Tennessee and Wyoming,” said Zach Bradford, CEO. “We have made a strategic decision to best position the company to thrive now and into the future, recognizing the need to maximize efficiency of our miners and operations. Specifically, we determined to replace a substantial portion of our fleet before the miners reached the end of their originally expected life cycle. Although that decision has generated a non-cash expense that negatively affects our reported operating results for this quarter. We believe this is the most prudent step for the long-term success of the company. Our team has done an incredible job optimizing the efficiency of our deployed fleet to maximize profitability. We believe, based on information from independent third-party sources, that CleanSpark is currently the most efficient large-scale publicly traded Bitcoin miner.”

    “CleanSpark weathered the challenges of the bitcoin halving with one of the most efficient mining portfolios as evidenced by our strong gross margins,” said Gary A. Vecchiarelli, CFO. “During the third quarter, we saw block rewards get cut by 50%, yet we managed to recognize only 7% less revenue by mining 1,583 bitcoin in the period. Additionally, we recognized a net loss primarily due to two non-cash factors: an unfavorable mark-to-market on the fair value of our large bitcoin holdings and an impairment on older, less-efficient miners. The non-cash impairment was directly attributable to a conscious strategic decision to upgrade and maintain one of the world’s largest and most efficient state-of-the-art mining fleets. We continue to have one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry and as a result I am happy to announce that we have also entered into a partnership with Coinbase where we have acquired a $50 million revolving line of credit collateralized by a portion of our bitcoin holdings. This line of credit will help us continue to take advantage of opportunities in the marketplace at a low cost of capital.”

    1 See “Non-GAAP Measure” and the related reconciliation below.

    Non-GAAP Measure

    The Company presents adjusted EBITDA, which is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States(“GAAP”). The Company’s non-GAAP “Adjusted EBITDA” excludes (i) impacts of interest, taxes, and depreciation; (ii) the Company’s share-based compensation expense, unrealized gains/losses on securities, and, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration with respect to previously completed acquisitions,  all of which are non-cash items that the Company believes are not reflective of the Company’s general business performance, and for which the accounting requires management judgment, and the resulting expenses could vary significantly in comparison to other companies; (iii) non-cash impairment losses related to long-lived assets (including goodwill); (iv) realized gains and losses on sales of equity securities, the amounts of which are directly related to the unrealized gains and losses that are also excluded; (v) legal fees related to litigation and various transactions, which fees management does not believe are reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating activities; (vi) gains and losses on disposal of assets, the majority of which are related to obsolete or unrepairable machines that are no longer deployed;  (vii) gains and losses related to discontinued operations that would not be applicable to the Company’s future business activities; and (viii) severance expenses. The Company previously excluded non-cash impairment losses related to digital assets and realized gains and losses on sales of bitcoin from our calculation of adjusted EBITDA, but has determined such items are part of the Company’s normal ongoing operations and will no longer be excluding them from our calculation of adjusted EBITDA.

    Management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these items allows for meaningful comparisons between the Company’s core business operating results and those of other companies, and provides the Company with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating its own core business operating results over different periods of time. In addition to management’s internal use of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors and analysts in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis.  Management believes the foregoing to be the case even though some of the excluded items involve cash outlays and some of them recur on a regular basis (although management does not believe any of such items are normal operating expenses necessary to generate our bitcoin related revenues).  For example, the Company expects that share-based compensation expense, which is excluded from adjusted EBITDA, will continue to be a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part of the compensation provided to certain employees, officers, and directors. Additionally, management does not consider any of the excluded items to be expenses necessary to generate the Company’s bitcoin related revenue.

    The Company’s adjusted EBITDA measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures  provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. The Company’s adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating (loss) income or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Although management utilizes internally and presents adjusted EBITDA, the Company only utilizes that measure supplementally and does not consider it to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

    Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation of, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
