LAS VEGAS, NEVADA / ACCESS Newswire / March 31, 2025 / Gryphon Digital Mining (NASDAQ:GRYP) ("Gryphon," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us"), an innovative venture in the bitcoin, high performance computing ("HPC") and AI space today reported financial results for its quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.

Steve Gutterman, CEO of Gryphon Digital Mining commented:

"2024 was transformative for the company. In February, we went public on the NASDAQ. In September and October, we strengthened our management team by changing CEOs, retaining our CFO, adding a VP of Energy and adding key members to our Board.

"Since bolstering our leadership team, we have had an incredibly productive fourth quarter of 2024 and year to date. During that time, we have undertaken a series of deliberate and transformative steps to reshape our Company by way of, among others, a debt refinancing, adding key expertise, successfully raising capital, including a financing round in which members of both our management and board participated, and, most significantly, executing a definitive agreement for an HPC/AI asset in Alberta, called Captus Energy, which we believe is scalable to 4GW (the "Captus Energy Acquisition").

"By our key metrics, we exited the fourth quarter of 2024 in a substantially stronger financial position than we entered it. During the fourth quarter we:

increased cash and cash equivalents from $368k to $735k;
increased equity and reduced liabilities by $13 million by converting debt to equity;
improved accumulated shareholder's equity from a deficit of ($18.9m) to a deficit of ($7.0m); and
improved the average trading volume of our stock from approximately 249,000 shares per day in the third quarter of 2024 to approximately 874,000 shares per day in the fourth quarter.

"These improvements have allowed us to focus on closing the Captus Energy Acquisition, which we believe represents a billion-dollar opportunity. Once closed, we feel the Captus Energy Acquisition will position us to deliver exceptional value to our shareholders by marking the start of an exciting new chapter for the Company. As we look ahead, we are focused on closing the Captus Energy Acquisition and then advancing development of the asset, delivering on key milestones, and unlocking the full potential of our portfolio to drive shareholder returns."

Fourth Quarter 2024 and Recent Highlights

Closed a non-brokered $2.85 Million offering with 100% management and majority board participation.
Announced a definitive agreement for an HPC/AI asset in Alberta scalable to 4GW, announced January 10, 2025.
Reduced total debt by over 70%, with the conversion of $13 million of Anchorage Digital's debt into equity and pre-funded warrants, restructured $5 million remaining debt with favorable terms, granted Anchorage warrants for 2 million shares at $1.50/share, and welcomed Anchorage as our largest shareholder with a seat on the Board.
Appointed energy industry veteran Eric Gallie as Senior Vice President of Energy Strategy.
Mining revenues were $3.845 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $3.689 million for the third quarter of 2024.
Breakeven Cost¹ per Bitcoin in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $75,872, compared to $23,902 in in the fourth quarter of 2023. The company continues to be focused on Breakeven Costs, which we believe is the best measure of what it costs to mine bitcoin on an operating basis, as opposed to sharing only electricity costs, which leaves out the other costs of mining.
The Company recognized net income of $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, which includes net non-cash expenses of ($2.4) million. Net non-cash expenses consisted of items including: depreciation, employee stock-based compensation expense, fair market value of common stock issued to consultants, gain on restructuring of bitcoin denominated note payable, unrealized (gain) loss on marketable equity securities, change in the fair value of notes payable and unrealized gain on digital assets. This compares to a net loss in fiscal 2023 of ($11.0) million, which includes net non-cash expenses of $9.0 million.
The Company mined approximately 61 and 176 Bitcoin in the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company continues to focus on tight operational controls. During fiscal 2024, cash payroll expenses as a percentage of revenue was 6.5%, below the Company's target of 10% or lower.

Non-GAAP Figures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company also provides adjusted EBITDA and Breakeven Costs, which are non-GAAP measures. Each of these are not financial measures of performance under GAAP and, as a result, these measures 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. These non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read only in conjunction with our Current Reports on Form 8-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Breakeven Costs as a means of understanding, managing, and evaluating business performance and to help inform operating decision making. The Company relies primarily on its condensed consolidated financial statements to understand, manage, and evaluate our financial performance and uses the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. Reconciliations for each of these non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP financial measures are provided below.
