Greenidge ended the second quarter with $10.3 million of cash
and $69.2 million of debt at book value.
In the first six months of 2024, Greenidge has made significant
efforts to reduce costs, leading to SG&A reductions of $6.4
million from 2023. Greenidge also reported a reduction in operating
costs for its Bitcoin mining operations in Q2 2024. This reduction
resulted from the relocation of the majority of Greenidge’s mining
fleet from a third-party operated site with monthly operational
fees to facilities managed by Greenidge directly. These strategic
buildouts and moves position the Company well for the future and
will positively impact its profitability compared to maintaining
operations at the third-party site.
Greenidge’s relocation of owned miners from third-party operated
sites to Greenidge-operated facilities resulted in the Company’s
miners being non-operational for a period, which impacted Q2
earnings. As anticipated, Greenidge’s successful planned June plant
outage also impacted Q2 earnings but positions the Company to
continue its industry leading uptime in the quarters ahead.
Despite these temporary disruptions, Greenidge anticipates a
significant boost in earnings in subsequent quarters due to the
ongoing cost savings. The Company also continues to explore
additional opportunities to further streamline operations and
improve efficiency across its business units.
Greenidge CEO Jordan Kovler commented: “The actions we took in
the first half of 2024 created a strong foundation that positions
Greenidge to grow efficiently moving forward as we continue to
scale our business. This quarter, we followed through on our
promises to significantly reduce SG&A, expand our power
capacity and obtain and build new sites with low power where we can
deploy our own miners. With increased access to capital and a
robust operational footprint across the country, we see numerous
paths ahead to increase shareholder value and to build on the new
offerings we introduced this quarter.”
Kovler added: “Over the last several months, we not only
continued to expand our AI infrastructure and data center
footprint, but we also made remarkable progress evolving our
business with the launch of the Greenidge Pod X, the introduction
of our new EPCM business and the decision to maintain a treasury of
bitcoin. With the halving and many strategic decisions to increase
long-term value for the sake of short-term profit now behind us, we
believe Greenidge is well positioned to capitalize on the
opportunities ahead that will continue to add value to our
story.”

Use of Non-GAAP Information To provide investors and
others with additional information regarding Greenidge’s financial
results, Greenidge has disclosed in this press release the non-GAAP
operating performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA
is defined as earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and
amortization, which is then adjusted for stock-based compensation
and other special items determined by management, including, but
not limited to, business expansion costs, impairments of long-lived
assets, gains or losses from the sales of long-lived assets,
remeasurement of environmental liabilities, restructuring and loss
on extinguishment of debt. These non-GAAP financial measures are a
supplement to and not a substitute for or superior to, Greenidge’s
results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP
financial measures presented by Greenidge may be different from
non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.
Specifically, Greenidge believes the non-GAAP information provides
useful measures to investors regarding Greenidge’s financial
performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that Greenidge
believes are not indicative of its core operating results. The
presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to
be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results or
guidance prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should
not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Greenidge compensates
for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and
using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis.
