      AKRON, Ohio, Feb. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- BIT Mining Limited (NYSE: BTCM) ("BIT Mining," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our company"), a leading technology-driven cryptocurrency mining company, today reported its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

      Cryptocurrency Business Progress

      BIT Mining has four primary business segments covering self-mining, mining pool, data center operation and mining machine manufacturing. The Company is pursuing its development strategy to focus on cryptocurrency mining operations globally.

      Our subsidiary, Bee Computing, has designed a new generation of highly efficient Bitcoin ("BTC") and Dogecoin ("DOGE") / Litecoin ("LTC") mining machines utilizing the most advanced technology.

      • Together with our partners, we have successfully produced more than 5,000 DOGE/LTC mining machines with a total hash rate capacity of approximately 22,373 GH/s. We have deployed all of these DOGE/LTC mining machines at our Ohio data center for use in our self-mining business. We expect to have produced approximately 8,000 DOGE/LTC mining machines in aggregate by early April 2023.
      • Our BTC mining ASIC has been taped out and is in the process of being fine-tuned and optimized. The first silicon engineering sample of the chips will be available by the end of February 2023. We expect to have the first batch of system engineering samples in the first half of 2023.
      • Bee Computing successfully produced 252 W1 ASIC Ethereum Classic ("ETC") mining machines in August 2022, achieving power efficiency of 0.5 W/MH. These ETC mining machines have been deployed and are online at the cryptocurrency mining data center we host in Akron, Ohio (the "Ohio Mining Site"). As of today, a substation with power capacity of 82.5 megawatts has completed construction and is operational at the Ohio Mining Site.

      The Ethereum Merge, namely, of the Ethereum Mainnet and the Beacon Chain Proof-of-Stake system (the "Merge"), occurred on September 15, 2022. After the Merge, the Company changed its strategy to ETC cryptocurrency mining operations. As of today, the total hash rate capacity of our online ETC mining machines is approximately 3,525 GH/s. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, we produced 35,936 ETC from our ETC cryptocurrency mining operations, and recognized revenue of approximately US$0.8 million.

      Due to recent declines in cryptocurrency markets, we suspended the operation of certain types of BTC mining machines. Despite the changes and uncertain environment, we are still determined to improve our quality and efficiency. As of today, the total hash rate capacity of our online BTC mining machines is approximately 66 PH/s. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, we produced 65 BTC from our BTC cryptocurrency mining operations, and recognized revenue of approximately US$1.1 million.

      Due to continued declines in cryptocurrency prices in the fourth quarter of 2022, our mining pool business revenue decreased from US$88.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to US$53.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

      "We are pleased to report our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2022. Despite challenging market conditions, we have continued to optimize our operations and enhance our resilience to market volatility," said Xianfeng Yang, CEO of BIT Mining. "During the quarter, we strengthened our vertical integration across our mining center, mining machine R&D, and mining pool businesses. Despite the crypto market downturn and high energy prices in November and December, we were able to manage the energy volatility through our fixed power pricing strategy during the winter months. We remain focused on our long-term development strategy, and we are confident in our ability to create value for our shareholders in the future," Yang added. "The change in the ratio of our American Depositary Shares to our Class A ordinary shares, executed in late December, was carried out smoothly. We successfully launched a new DOGE/LTC mining machine, LD3, that has raised investor confidence and garnered significant interest from machine buyers. We also continue to enhance our technology development, not only in hardware but also in software."

      Sales and marketing expenses were US$0.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of US$0.2 million or 66.7% from US$0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and a decrease of US$0.1 million or 50.0% from US$0.2 million for the third quarter of 2022.

      General and administrative expenses were US$5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of US$3.0 million or 34.1% from US$8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of US$1.2 million or 26.1% from US$4.6 million for the third quarter of 2022. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to (i) a decrease of US$2.4 million in share-based compensation expenses associated with fewer share options granted to the Company's directors and employees and (ii) a decrease of US$1.4 million in consulting expenses. The sequential increase was mainly due to an increase of US$1.1 million in consulting expenses related to DOGE/LTC mining machine production.

      Service development expenses were US$0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of US$0.5 million or 41.7% from US$1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and a decrease of US$0.1 million or 12.5% from US$0.8 million for the third quarter of 2022. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease of US$0.3 million in compensation expenses for employees as well as a decrease of US$0.2 million in share-based compensation expenses associated with share options granted to the Company's directors and employees as a result of a decrease in headcount.

      Net Gain on Disposal of Cryptocurrency Assets

      Net gain on disposal of cryptocurrency assets was US$2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of US$2.0 million from US$4.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and a decrease of US$2.5 million from US$4.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, by using first-in-first-out ("FIFO") to calculate the cost of disposition during the fourth quarter of 2022.

      Impairment of Cryptocurrency Assets

      Impairment of cryptocurrency assets was US$1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of US$7.8 million from US$9.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and a decrease of US$1.0 million from US$2.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, mainly due to provisions for impairment of cryptocurrency assets held as a result of fluctuations in cryptocurrency prices and lower amounts of cryptocurrencies held as of December 31, 2022.

      Impairment of Property and Equipment

      Impairment of property and equipment was US$25.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a significant increase of US$13.8 million from US$11.7 million for the third quarter of 2022, which was mainly due to additional provision for impairment of mining machines in Kazakhstan and the U.S. Impairment of property and equipment for the fourth quarter of 2021 was US$12.6 million, mainly due to the closure and demolition of big data centers in Sichuan, China.

      Impairment of Intangible Assets

      Impairment of intangible assets was US$48.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, representing a significant increase of US$41.1 million from US$7.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, which was mainly due to impairment of the brand name and domain that the Company acquired through its acquisition of BTC.com in April 2021. Impairment of intangible assets for the third quarter of 2022 was US$7.5 million, which was mainly due to the impairment of the strategy contract that the Company acquired through its acquisition of Asgard Data Centers in October 2021.

      Impairment of Goodwill

      Impairment of goodwill was US$26.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, which was mainly due to the impairment of equity value that the Company acquired through its acquisition of BTC.com in April 2021.

      Operating Loss

      Operating loss was US$121.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with operating loss of US$17.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and operating loss of US$33.6 million for the third quarter of 2022.

      Non-GAAP operating loss was US$21.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with non-GAAP operating loss of US$15.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and non-GAAP operating loss of US$14.3 million for the third quarter of 2022. The year-over-year increase in non-GAAP operating loss was mainly due to increases in gross losses of the cryptocurrency business and impairment of cryptocurrency assets, which were mainly attributable to the continuous declines in cryptocurrency prices. The sequential increase in non-GAAP operating loss was mainly due to (i) an increase of US$3.1 million in losses on cryptocurrency assets which was mainly due to a cyberattack on December 3, 2022, (ii) a decrease of US$2.4 million in net gain on disposal of cryptocurrencies, and (iii) an increase of US$1.1 million in consulting expenses related to DOGE/LTC mining machine production.

      Net Loss Attributable to BIT Mining

      Net loss attributable to BIT Mining was US$123.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with net loss attributable to BIT Mining of US$11.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and net loss attributable to BIT Mining of US$22.2 million for the third quarter of 2022. Both the year-over-year and sequential increases in net loss attributable to BIT Mining were mainly due to increases of impairment of intangible assets and goodwill related to BTC.com, as well as additional provision for impairment of mining machines as mentioned above.

      Non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining was US$20.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining of US$9.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining of US$2.9 million for the third quarter of 2022. Both the year-over-year and sequential increase in non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining were mainly due to increased gross losses of the cryptocurrency business as mentioned above.

      As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of US$5.4 million, restricted cash3 of US$0.1 million and short-term investment4 of US$2.4 million, compared with cash and cash equivalents of US$19.9 million and restricted cash of US$0.1 million as of September 30, 2022.

Such statements are based upon management's current expectations and current market and operating conditions and relate to events that involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company's control, which may cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

      About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      As a supplement to net loss, we use the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net loss which is U.S. GAAP net loss as adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expenses, impairment of property and equipment, impairment of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, impairment of equity investments, gain on previously held equity interest, deferred tax benefit relating to valuation allowance, changes in fair value of contingent considerations and changes in fair value or derivative instrument. All adjustments are non-cash and we believe they are not reflective of our general business performance. This non-GAAP financial measure is provided as additional information to help our investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors' overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in addition to or as a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP net loss. In addition, our definition of adjusted net loss may be different from the definition of such term used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.
