Riot Blockchain Reports 2019 Financial Results and Operational Highlights
EntSun News/10816143
CASTLE ROCK, Colo., March 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Riot Blockchain, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) ("Riot" or the "Company"), one of the few Nasdaq listed public cryptocurrency mining companies in the United States, reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2019. The financial statements are available on Riot's website and here.
2019 Recent Operational Highlights
Fiscal Year 2019 Financial Results
Total mining revenue in 2019 was $6.7 million compared to $7.7 million in 2018.
More on EntSun News
Gross profit, which is computed as mining revenues in excess of cost of revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization), was $644,000 (9.6% of total mining revenues), as compared to $1.9 million (24.9% of total mining revenues) in 2018. The decreases in revenue and gross profit were primarily due to changes in cryptocurrency prices as well as increases in the difficulty index associated with solving mining algorithms.
Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in 2019 decreased 56% to $9.2 million from $20.9 million in 2018. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to reductions in staff, decreases in stock-based compensation expense, consulting fees, and legal fees, which were slightly offset by increases in audit and related professional fees.
Net loss for 2019 was $20.3 million, or $(1.02) per share, compared to net loss of $60.2 million, or $(4.33) per share, in 2018.
At December 31, 2019, the Company had $11.3 million in cash and cryptocurrencies, as compared to $932,000 at December 31, 2018.
2020 Strategic Priorities
As announced in a press release issued on February 20, 2020, Riot has concentrated its strategic priorities by focusing on bitcoin mining and pursuing opportunities more directly related to bitcoin and bitcoin mining. In line with that mission, the Company has upgraded its mining facility in Oklahoma City and engaged XMS Capital Partners to advise on potential strategic opportunities.
In response to the rapidly expanding and evolving effects of COVID-19, Riot Blockchain is actively monitoring COVID-19 developments, including local, regional and global regulatory and health updates. Temporary policies have been adopted covering travel restrictions, remote work solutions where feasible, etc. The Company is dedicated to the safety and well-being of its team members and business partners. The Company is reviewing and developing protocols to navigate and manage its key operations by evaluating potential future steps and plans to consider potential implications to its workforce, operations, finance and liquidity.
