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.
