SAIHEAT hat ungeprüfte Finanzergebnisse für das erste Halbjahr 2024 gemeldet, die Gesamterlöse von 3,2 Millionen US-Dollar aufweisen, was einem Anstieg von 6% im Vergleich zum Vorjahr entspricht. Das Unternehmen wies einen Verlust des Bruttomarges von 0,1 Millionen US-Dollar und einen Nettoverlust von 1,9 Millionen US-Dollar aus, eine Verbesserung gegenüber einem Verlust von 3,7 Millionen US-Dollar im ersten Halbjahr 2023. Zu den wichtigen Entwicklungen gehört die Erweiterung der SAI NODE-Anlage in Marietta mit 478 Bitmain-Miner, was die Hash-Rate um 68 PH/s erhöht, sowie mehrere Absichtserklärungen im Nuklearsektor.

Positive
  • Revenue increased 6% YoY to US$3.2 million
  • Net loss improved from US$3.7M to US$1.9M YoY
  • Hash rate capacity increased by 68 PH/s with new mining machines
  • Mining revenue grew from US$0.4M to US$1.7M YoY
Negative
  • Gross margin turned negative at US$0.1M from positive US$0.2M YoY
  • Sales of products decreased 37% to US$1.3M
  • Hosting revenue declined from US$0.3M to US$0.05M
  • Mining pool revenue decreased from US$0.2M to US$0.07M

Insights

The financial results reveal concerning trends despite the apparent reduction in net losses. Revenue growth of 6% to $3.2M is underwhelming considering Bitcoin's price tripled during this period. The shift to negative gross margins (-4% from +6%) signals operational challenges, particularly post-halving.

Notable red flags include the significant decline in product sales (-37%) and hosting services (-83%). While mining revenue increased to $1.7M, rising costs and network difficulty are squeezing margins. With only $1.9M in cash and ongoing losses, liquidity concerns are mounting.

The operational metrics reveal mixed performance in SAIHEAT's technology deployment. The expansion to 150 PH/s hash rate with 27.3 J/TH efficiency is competitive but not industry-leading. The introduction of RACKCAB and HYDROCAB products shows innovation in heat recycling, potentially opening new revenue streams in sustainable computing.

The strategic pivot toward nuclear energy through multiple MoUs and WNA membership indicates diversification efforts, though monetization remains unclear. The CO2 reduction claims of 96,000 pounds monthly at the aquatic center project could attract ESG-focused partnerships.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAIHEAT Limited (f/k/a SAI.TECH Global Corporation) (“SAIHEAT” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SAIH, SAITW), today reported unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Financial Highlights for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

  • Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024, were US$ 3.2 million, having increased 6% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.
  • Gross Margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was negative US$ 0.1 million, compared to gross profits of US$ 0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Revenues

Sales of Products. Sales of products represents the sales of high-performance digital asset mining machines to end customers. The revenue from sales of products was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $0.8 million, or 37% from $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to slack market conditions for mining machines, coupled with a reduction in mining profit.

Hosting Service. Hosting services includes all services related to hosting and daily maintenance of mining machines for customers. Our hosting revenue was derived from our hosting operations in Mexico, which was $0.05 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was mainly in connection with our hosting client gradually scaling down the operation in response to the reduction of bitcoin mining rewards after halving.

Mining Pool. Mining pool income includes revenues from the Company’s self-owned sai.plus mining pool, representing mining rewards from sai.plus mining pool. The Company allocates mining rewards to each pool participant, mainly the hosting clients, net of the pool operator fees based on the sharing mechanism predetermined and records as cost of mining pool revenue. Our mining pool revenues were $0.07 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023.

Mining Revenue. Mining revenues represent mining rewards generated from the Company’s self-owned mining machines. The mining revenues are mainly derived from our operations in Mexico beginning in 2022 and self-constructed in Marietta in 2023. Our mining revenue were $1.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023. We launched our self-constructed site in July 2023, in which we have filled 2.8 MW as of June 30, 2024.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues primarily included the cost for the purchase of high-performance digital asset mining machines, costs incurred for our self-mining activities, and the direct costs incurred for the provision of hosting services and mining rewards allocated to each provider of pool participant in exchange for their computing power contributed to the mining pool.

The cost of revenues increased by $0.5 million or 17%, from $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is mainly due to a $1.7 million increase in cost of self-mining operation, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in cost for the purchase of high-performance digital asset mining machines, a $0.2 million decrease in hosting service and a $0.2 million decrease in mining pool in the first half 2024.

Gross Margin

Our gross profit decreased by $0.3 million, from gross profit $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to a gross loss of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (“gross margin”) was 6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and gross loss as a percentage of revenue was 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease of gross margin was mainly due to a reduction in block rewards following the halving event in April 2024 and an increase in network difficulty.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Our selling and marketing expenses primarily consisted of staff costs and depreciation expenses to participate in marketing activities. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $0.53 million, or 82%, from $0.65 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $0.12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to a $0.12 million decrease in depreciation expense, a $0.15 million decrease in marketing expense, and a $0.23 million decrease in incentive plan amortization that was launched in December 2022.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses mainly consisted of salaries and bonuses, office related expenses and professional service fees. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.84 million, or 27%, from $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $2.26 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease of $0.67 million in incentive plan amortization that was launched in December 2022, a decrease of $0.05 million in salaries, a decrease of $0.12 million in office expense.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses mainly consisted of salaries, bonuses, and research related expenses.
