Insights
Analyzing Bitcoin Depot's financial results reveals a paradox of growing revenues juxtaposed with declining net income. The revenue uptick to $689 million indicates successful market penetration and increased demand for Bitcoin ATMs. However, the substantial 54% drop in net income to $1.6 million is a red flag. This could be attributed to increased operating expenses, which rose by approximately $14 million year-over-year, outpacing revenue growth and potentially indicating inefficiencies or increased investment in growth that has yet to yield proportional returns.
The surge in Adjusted EBITDA by 37% suggests operational improvements and cost management, but investors should question the sustainability of these margins, especially in the volatile cryptocurrency market. The cash position, at $26.4 million, offers some liquidity, but the net loss in Q4 and projected lower Q1 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA could signal liquidity concerns if the trend continues.
Bitcoin Depot's strategic expansion through partnerships and increased kiosk installations is a bullish indicator for market share growth. The integration of BitAccess software and the elimination of licensing fees is a strategic move towards cost reduction and operational control. However, the first quarter guidance for 2024, with expected revenue and Adjusted EBITDA lower than the previous year, suggests that the company may be facing headwinds. This could be due to market saturation, regulatory challenges, or a decrease in transaction volumes as the novelty of Bitcoin ATMs wears off.
The aggressive growth strategy, including the sale of new BTM kiosks and the expansion of the sales team, indicates a push for capturing more market territory. However, the effectiveness of these initiatives in driving sustainable profitability remains to be seen. Investors should monitor the company's ability to convert these growth efforts into a stable revenue stream, especially in a market where cryptocurrency adoption and regulation are still evolving.
The cryptocurrency market is known for its volatility, which can significantly impact Bitcoin Depot's operations. The increase in gross profit margin suggests that the company is becoming more efficient in its operations, potentially due to economies of scale as the number of kiosks grows. Yet, the decrease in net income and the cautious Q1 guidance may reflect broader market conditions, such as fluctuating Bitcoin prices and changing regulatory landscapes that affect consumer behavior and transaction volumes at Bitcoin ATMs.
The company's expansion and partnerships indicate a bet on the increasing mainstream adoption of Bitcoin. However, the competitive landscape is intensifying and the company's long-term success will depend on its ability to maintain a competitive edge, navigate regulatory hurdles and adapt to the rapidly changing cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Bitcoin Depot reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This press release includes both historical and projected Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom such as Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Gross Profit margin, which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring expenses, stock-based compensation, expenses related to the PIPE financing and miscellaneous cost adjustments. Such items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. In addition, Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted Gross Profit (a non-GAAP financial measure) as revenue less cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) and depreciation and amortization adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization. Bitcoin Depot believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit each provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Bitcoin Depot’s results of operations, as well as provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of Bitcoin Depot’s business performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit are each key measurements used internally by management to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance and perform strategic and financial planning. However, you should be aware that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Bitcoin Depot’s financial results, and further, that Bitcoin Depot may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Bitcoin Depot primarily relies on GAAP results and uses both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit on a supplemental basis. Neither Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Gross Profit should be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP and may not be indicative of Bitcoin Depot’s historical or future operating results. Bitcoin Depot’s computation of both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate such measures in the same fashion. As such, undue reliance should not be placed on such measures.
Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from the projections of Adjusted EBITDA, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, Bitcoin Depot is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included.
