MARA's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture with some concerning trends. While revenues increased 78% to $145.1 million, the company reported a substantial net loss of $199.7 million, or $0.72 per diluted share. This loss was primarily driven by a $148.0 million fair value loss on digital assets.

The adoption of new accounting standards (ASU No. 2023-08) requiring ongoing fair value measurement of crypto assets has significantly impacted MARA's financial statements. This change introduces more volatility to the company's reported earnings, as evidenced by the large fair value loss this quarter.

On the operational front, MARA's energized hash rate increased 78% year-over-year to 31.5 EH/s. However, BTC production decreased 30% to 2,058 BTC, primarily due to the April halving event, increased global hash rate and equipment issues at third-party sites.

The company's liquidity position remains strong, with combined unrestricted cash and BTC holdings of $1.4 billion. MARA's shift to a full HODL approach for BTC retention signals confidence in the long-term value of Bitcoin but may impact short-term cash flows.

MARA's reorganization into three strategic business teams and its expansion efforts, including the Garden City data center acquisition and partnership with the Kenyan government, demonstrate a focus on diversification and growth. However, the company needs to address operational challenges and mitigate the impact of Bitcoin price volatility on its financial performance.

MARA's Q2 2024 results reflect the broader challenges facing the Bitcoin mining industry. The Bitcoin halving event in April 2024 has had a significant impact on the company's operations, as evidenced by the 30% decrease in BTC production compared to Q2 2023.

The company's increased hash rate capacity, reaching 31.5 EH/s, is impressive but hasn't translated into proportional BTC production growth due to the rising global hash rate. This highlights the intensifying competition in the mining sector and the need for continuous efficiency improvements.

MARA's decision to adopt a full HODL approach for its BTC holdings is a bold move. With over 20,000 BTC on its balance sheet, the company is heavily exposed to Bitcoin price fluctuations. This strategy could pay off if BTC prices rise significantly but also increases the company's financial risk.

The company's diversification efforts, including the launch of Kaspa mining operations and the focus on energy harvesting, are prudent steps to reduce reliance on Bitcoin mining alone. However, these initiatives are still in early stages and their impact on MARA's bottom line remains to be seen.

The fair value accounting for crypto assets has introduced significant volatility to MARA's financial statements. Investors will need to look beyond these non-cash adjustments to assess the company's operational performance and long-term prospects in the evolving cryptocurrency mining landscape.

MARA's Q2 2024 results highlight the company's growing focus on energy-related initiatives in the cryptocurrency mining sector. The reorganization into three strategic business teams, including an Energy Harvesting division, signals a commitment to addressing the energy-intensive nature of Bitcoin mining.

The partnership with the Kenyan government to develop underutilized energy assets is a noteworthy move. This initiative could potentially provide MARA with access to low-cost, sustainable energy sources, which is important for maintaining competitiveness in the mining industry. However, the success of such international ventures depends on navigating complex regulatory and operational challenges.

The acquisition of the Garden City data center in Texas also aligns with MARA's energy strategy. Texas has become a hub for cryptocurrency mining due to its relatively low energy costs and supportive regulatory environment. This acquisition could help MARA optimize its energy consumption and potentially tap into the state's growing renewable energy sector.

Despite these positive developments, MARA faced operational challenges related to equipment failures and transmission line maintenance at third-party operated sites. These issues underscore the importance of robust infrastructure and highlight potential risks associated with relying on external facilities.

As MARA aims to reach 50 exahash of energized hash rate by the end of 2024, managing energy costs and reliability will be critical. The company's focus on leveraging digital asset compute to support the energy transformation is promising, but it will need to demonstrate tangible results in terms of improved energy efficiency and reduced operational costs to offset the challenges posed by Bitcoin halving events and increasing competition.

Management Commentary

“During the second quarter of 2024, our BTC production was impacted by unexpected equipment failures and transmission line maintenance at the Ellendale site operated by Applied Digital, increased global hash rate, and the April halving event,” said Fred Thiel, MARA’s chairman and chief executive officer. “However, I’m pleased to report that transformer issues at the Ellendale site were mitigated and remediated post quarter end, and our hash rate recovery effort is complete. We reached an all-time high installed hash rate of 31.5 exahash in the second quarter and continue to target 50 exahash of energized hash rate by the end of 2024 with additional growth in 2025.

“We are beginning to lay the foundation for MARA to become a globally diversified company that leverages digital asset compute to build a more sustainable and inclusive future. During the quarter, we organized the internal structure of the business to better align with our growth opportunities, sharpen our strategic focus, bolster accountability, and accelerate our speed and agility as we scale. MARA is now a streamlined organization consisting of three specialized business teams: Utility Scale Mining, Energy Harvesting, and Technology.

“Revenues increased 78% to $145 million for the quarter compared to the second quarter of 2023 as we produced 2,058 BTC, an average of 23 BTC a day. We ended the quarter with 18,488 BTC on the balance sheet and subsequently purchased an additional $100 million worth of BTC. Our holdings now exceed 20,000 BTC. We recently announced a shift in our treasury policy and adopted a full HODL approach to retain all BTC going forward, reflecting our confidence in the long-term value of BTC and our belief that it is the world’s best treasury reserve asset.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net loss increased to $199.7 million, or $0.72 loss per diluted share, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, from a net loss of $9.0 million, or $0.07 loss per diluted share, in the same period last year. The decrease in earnings was primarily driven by the unfavorable fair value of digital assets from the newly adopted fair value accounting rules issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, ASU No. 2023-08, Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, which requires ongoing measurement of crypto assets to fair value.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to a loss of $85.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 from a gain of $35.8 million in the second quarter of 2023. The $120.9 million decline was primarily driven by unfavorable fair value adjustments to digital assets of $148.0 million and lower production of BTC.

Revenues increased 78% to $145.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $81.8 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by a $78.6 million increase in the average price of BTC mined, partially offset by a $23.9 million decrease in BTC production, and the inclusion of $8.7 million in revenues generated from providing hosting services as a result of the acquisition of GC Data Center Equity Holdings, LLC in January 2024. The average price of BTC mined in the second quarter of 2024 was 136% higher than in the prior year period. Average daily BTC production was 22.9 BTC in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 32.2 BTC in the prior year period. The Company produced 868 less BTC in the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the halving event in April 2024, increased global hash rate, and the impact of unexpected equipment failures at third-party operated sites and transmission line maintenance, partially offset by an improvement in average operational hash rate. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the third- party equipment failure and transmission line maintenance was completely resolved.

The Company sold 51% of the BTC it produced during the quarter to fund operating costs.

Change in fair value of digital assets was a $148.0 million loss during the second quarter of 2024 compared to $25.2 million during the second quarter of 2023. The $173.2 million, or approximately 688% decrease, was primarily related to the unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment of digital assets and a decrease in BTC production due to the halving event in April.

The Company defines Energized Hash Rate as the total hash rate that could theoretically be generated if all mining rigs that have been operational / energized are currently in operation and running at 100% of the manufacturers’ specifications (includes mining servers that are offline for maintenance or similar reasons). The Company uses this metric as an indicator of progress in bringing rigs on-line. The Company defines Avg. Operational Hash Rate as the average hash rate that was actually generated during the period from all operational miners. The Company uses this metric as an indicator of its operational progress. The Company defines Installed Hash Rate as the sum of Energized Hash Rate and hash rate that has been installed but is not yet operational (e.g. mining rigs that have been installed, but are not yet energized and in operation). The Company uses this metric as an indicator of progress in deploying mining rigs at its production sites. Cost per Petahash per day is calculated using mining cost of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization, divided by the Average Operational Hash Rate, excluding the Company’s share of the hash rate for the equity method investee. Hash rates are estimates based on the manufacturers’ specifications. All figures are estimates and rounded.

The Company believes that these metrics are useful as an indicator of potential BTC production. However, these metrics cannot be tied directly to any production level expected to be actually achieved as (a) there may be delays in the energization of Installed Hash Rate (b) the Company cannot predict when installed and energized rigs may be offline for any reason, including curtailment or machine failure and (c) the Company cannot predict Global Hash Rate (and therefore the Company’s share of the Global Hash Rate), which has significant impact on the Company’s ability to generate BTC in any given period.

(2) Non-GAAP Financial Measures In order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by our management team in financial and operational decision-making, we supplement our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) with the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA and total margin excluding depreciation and amortization.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as (a) GAAP net income (loss) plus (b) adjustments to add back the impacts of (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) interest expense, (3) income tax expense (benefit) and (4) adjustments for non-cash and non-recurring items which currently include (i) stock compensation expense, (ii) early termination expenses, (iii) gain on investments and (iv) losses from extinguishment of debt. The Company defines total margin excluding depreciation and amortization as (a) GAAP total margin less (b) depreciation and amortization.

Management uses adjusted EBITDA and total margin excluding depreciation and amortization, along with the supplemental information provided herein, as a means of understanding, managing, and evaluating business performance and to help inform operating decision-making. The Company relies primarily on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to understand, manage, and evaluate its financial performance and uses non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA and total margin excluding depreciation and amortization are useful measures to us and to our investors because they exclude certain financial, capital structure, and non-cash items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations, in part because they may vary widely across time and within our industry independent of the performance of our core operations. We believe that excluding these items enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period and relative to our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA and total margin excluding depreciation and amortization may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculations.
