on

AKRON, Ohio, Feb. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BIT Mining Limited (NYSE: BTCM) (“BIT Mining,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our company”), a leading technology-driven cryptocurrency mining company, today reported its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023.

On December 28, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Esport – Win Limited, a Hong Kong limited liability company, to sell its entire mining pool business for a total consideration of US$5 million. The sale does not include or affect any of BIT Mining’s other businesses. The disposal of the mining pool business represents a strategic shift and has a major effect on the Company’s results of operations. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2023 and the comparable periods have been reclassified to reflect the mining pool business segment as discontinued operations.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results for Continuing Operations

Revenues

Revenues were mainly comprised of US$4.7 million from the self-mining business and US$5.7 million from the data center business.

Self-mining

As of today, the total hash rate capacity of our DOGE/LTC mining machines in operation is approximately 24,766.0 GH/s. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we produced 38.3 million DOGE and 10,615 LTC from our DOGE/LTC cryptocurrency mining operations and recognized revenue of approximately US$3.6 million.

Considerable uncertainty persists in the market despite the recent modest recovery and narrow growth in cryptocurrency asset prices. Facing this current environment, we remain determined to improve our quality and efficiency. As of today, the total hash rate capacity of our BTC mining machines in operation is approximately 56.63 PH/s. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we produced 21 BTC from our BTC cryptocurrency mining operations and recognized revenue of approximately US$0.8 million. We also recognized revenue of approximately US$0.3 million from our ETC cryptocurrency mining operations.

Data Center Operation

During the fourth quarter of 2023, our 82.5 megawatt space (the “82.5 Megawatt Space”) at the Ohio Mining Site recognized approximately $5.7 million in service fee revenue, representing a decrease of US$0.7 million compared with the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to one of our customers entered into arrangement directly with the utility service provider. As a result, our service fee revenue from the customer decreased during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Overall

Revenues were US$10.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing an increase of US$3.2 million, or 44.4%, from US$7.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and a decrease of US$1.2 million, or 10.3%, from US$11.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to an increase of US$3.6 million in the DOGE/LTC cryptocurrency production, due to an increase in hash power related to new mining machines that were put into operation in 2023. The sequential decrease was mainly attributable to higher computing power of the whole network in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with the computing power in the third quarter of  2023, resulting in an increased difficulty in cryptocurrency mining activities.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses were US$13.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of US$9.7 million, or 42.4%, from US$22.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and a decrease of US$1.8 million, or 12.0%, from US$15.0 million for the third quarter of 2023. 

Cost of revenue was US$8.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of US$7.5 million, or 45.7%, from US$16.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and a decrease of US$1.9 million, or 17.6%, from US$10.8 million for the third quarter of 2023. The sequential decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in electricity fees payable to the utility service provider as one of our customers entered into arrangement directly with the utility service provider. The year-over-year decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in electricity fees payable mentioned above, and the overall year-over-year decrease in electricity rates charged by the utility service provider. Cost of revenue was comprised of the direct cost of revenue of US$6.0 million and depreciation and amortization of US$2.9 million. The direct cost of revenue mainly included direct costs relating to (i) the cryptocurrency mining business of US$1.3 million, and (ii) the data center business of US$4.7 million.

Sales and marketing expenses were US$0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with US$0.03 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and US$0.03 million for the third quarter of 2023.

General and administrative expenses were US$4.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of US$1.9 million, or 31.7%, from US$6.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and a slight decrease of US$0.1 million, or 2.4%, from US$4.2 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease of US$1.0 million in technical service fee.

Service development expenses were nil for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with US$0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and US$0.04 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease in staff costs, benefits, share-based compensation and other related expenses as a result of a decrease in headcount.

Net Gain on Disposal of Cryptocurrency Assets

Net gain on disposal of cryptocurrency assets was US$1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of US$2.2 million from US$3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and an increase of US$0.6 million from US$0.9 million for the third quarter of 2023, by using the first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) method to calculate the cost of disposition during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Impairment of Cryptocurrency Assets

Impairment of cryptocurrency assets was US$0.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of US$1.9 million from US$2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and a decrease of US$0.5 million from US$0.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, mainly due to less provision recorded for impairment of cryptocurrency assets held as a result of generally increasing cryptocurrency prices. 

Impairment of Property and Equipment

Impairment of property and equipment was nil for the third and fourth quarters of 2023 and was US$22.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, which was mainly due to the provision for impairment of mining machines in Kazakhstan and the U.S.

Operating Loss from continuing operations

Operating loss from continuing operations was US$1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with operating loss from continuing operations of US$38.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and operating loss from continuing operations of US$4.1 million for the third quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP operating loss from continuing operations was US$1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with non-GAAP operating loss from continuing operations of US$15.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and non-GAAP operating loss from continuing operations of US$4.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease in non-GAAP operating loss from continuing operations was mainly due to (i) an increase of US$2.8 million in revenue of the self-mining business, due to increases in cryptocurrency prices and mining machine, (ii) a decrease of US$1.9 million in impairment of cryptocurrency assets, (iii) a decrease of US$4.4 million in depreciation and amortization expenses due to impairment of mining machines and intangible asset in 2022, and (iv) a decrease of US$1.2 million in cloud computing power rental costs. The sequential decrease in non-GAAP operating loss from continuing operations was mainly due to (i) a decrease of US$0.5 million in impairment of cryptocurrency assets and an increase of US$0.6 million in net gain on disposal of cryptocurrency assets resulting from increases in cryptocurrency prices, and (ii) a decrease of US$0.8 million in other operating expenses.

Net Loss Attributable to BIT Mining including from continuing operations and discontinued operations

Net loss attributable to BIT Mining was US$4.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with net loss attributable to BIT Mining of US$109.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and net loss attributable to BIT Mining of US$4.4 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease in net loss attributable to BIT Mining was mainly due to (i) a decrease of US$22.6 million in impairment of property and equipment, (ii) decrease in net loss from discontinued operations resulting from a decrease of US$48.6 million in impairment of intangible assets and a decrease of US$26.6 million in impairment of goodwill, and (iii) a decrease of US$2.3 million in impairment of long-term investments.

Non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining was US$4.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining of US$9.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining of US$3.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease in non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining was mainly due to the reasons related to the decrease in net loss from discontinued operations mentioned above. The sequential increase in non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining was mainly due to the increase in  net loss from discontinued operations of US$3.8 million.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of US$3.6 million, compared with cash and cash equivalents of US$5.4 million, restricted cash3 of US$0.1 million, and short-term investment4 of US$2.4 million as of December 31, 2022.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As a supplement to net loss, we use the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net loss which is U.S. GAAP net loss as adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expenses, impairment of intangible assets, impairment of equity investments, impairment of property and equipment, changes in fair value of contingent considerations, and changes in fair value of derivative instruments. All adjustments are non-cash and we believe they are not reflective of our general business performance. This non-GAAP financial measure is provided as additional information to help our investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in addition to or as a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP net loss. In addition, our definition of adjusted net loss may be different from the definition of such term used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

Disparities Narrowing Among Patients Undergoing Blood Stem Cell Transplant, Roswell Park Study Reveals

Published

on

By

Historically, some patients with blood cancers have been less likely than others to receive stem cell transplant, also known as bone marrow transplant. Theresa Hahn, PhD, of Roswell Park is lead author of a new study showing that older adults and Black patients are much less likely than people from other groups to receive a blood stem cell transplant.

BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ —

Study led by Dr. Theresa Hahn published in JAMA Network OpenNumber of transplants for blood cancers rose from 2009 to 2018Research team analyzed trends in transplant utilization for that period

Every year, more than 22,000 patients in the U.S. undergo a potentially lifesaving blood stem cell transplant — often called a “bone marrow transplant” — for the treatment of hematologic diseases. But historically, some patients with blood cancers have been less likely than others to receive the treatment. Theresa Hahn, PhD, of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is lead author of a new study in the journal JAMA Network Open showing that while progress has been made in reducing those disparities, older adults and Black patients are much less likely than people from other groups to receive a blood stem cell transplant.

“This study shows that while progress has been made to reduce disparities among racial and ethnic groups, there’s a need to improve hematopoietic cell transplant utilization rates in older adults and in Black patients of all ages.” — Theresa Hahn, PhD, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center

The research team analyzed data provided by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) for 136,280 patients who underwent hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) in the U.S. between 2009 and 1018, comparing those numbers with the incidence of six blood cancers (acute myeloid and lymphoblastic leukemia, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myelodysplastic syndrome) in various age, race and ethnic groups the U.S. as reported by the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program.

The team found that during that period, the use of HCT increased for the treatment of most blood cancers — and rose among all age, race and ethnic groups.

The researchers also discovered that in the most recent years analyzed, from 2017-2018:

The rate of HCT utilization for blood cancers rose among Hispanic and younger patients to equal the rate of non-Hispanic white patients.Non-Hispanic Black patients had a lower rate of HCT for all six diseases studied.Pediatric, adolescent and young adult patients had a higher rate than adult patients of allogeneic HCT, which involves receiving cells from a healthy donor.

“This study shows that while progress has been made to reduce disparities among racial and ethnic groups, there’s a need to improve hematopoietic cell transplant utilization rates in older adults and in Black patients of all ages,” says Dr. Hahn, Professor of Oncology in the Department of Cancer Prevention and Control at Roswell Park and the study’s first author.

The research team also include Dr. Hahn’s Roswell Park colleague Megan Herr, PhD, and collaborators from the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee; the CIBMTR; and the Mayo Clinic.

From the world’s first chemotherapy research to the PSA prostate cancer biomarker, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center generates innovations that shape how cancer is detected, treated and prevented worldwide. Driven to eliminate cancer’s grip on humanity, the Roswell Park team of 4,000 makes compassionate, patient-centered cancer care and services accessible across New York State and beyond. Founded in 1898, Roswell Park was among the first three cancer centers nationwide to become a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center and is the only one to hold this designation in Upstate New York.

VINFAST REPORTS UNAUDITED SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — VinFast Auto Ltd. (“VinFast” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: VFS), a subsidiary of Vingroup JSC, and Vietnam’s only pure-play electric vehicle manufacturer, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

VinFast delivered 13,172 EVs in Q2, up by 44% QoQ and 43% YoY, bringing its delivery total for the first half of 2024 to 22,348 vehicles, a 101% increase compared to the same period last year.The Company recorded $357 million in revenue for Q2, up by 33% QoQ and 9% YoY.Vietnam, where momentum is accelerating, will play a key role in driving VinFast’s revenue in the remainder of 2024.

Madam Thuy Le, Chairwoman of VinFast, said: “We remain focused on our mission to contribute to a sustainable future for everyone. Our strategy is unchanged with regards to being a vertically-integrated green mobility solutions company providing high quality and good-value electric vehicles. With the delivery of VF 3 starting in Q3, we have completed the development of all 7 e-SUV models.”

Ms. Lan Anh Nguyen, Chief Financial Officer of VinFast, added: “Q2 of 2024 aligned with our forecasts, driven in large part by the increasing demand for VinFast’s EVs in Vietnam. This growth in our home market has been crucial in advancing our mission to promote EV adoption and green mobility. The momentum we’ve built in Vietnam has laid a solid foundation for our strong position in this key market to continue thriving.”

VinFast EV Deliveries Rose 44% QoQ and Revenue Grew 33% QoQ

During the quarter, VinFast delivered 13,172 vehicles, a 44% increase compared to the previous quarter and a 43% increase year-over-year. This brings total deliveries for the first half of 2024 to 22,348 vehicles, representing a 101% increase compared to the same period last year. 

One of the key drivers behind this growth was the increasing adoption of electric vehicles in the Vietnamese market, where VinFast recorded a 108% year-over-year increase in B2C deliveries in Q2.

VinFast reported $357 million in revenue in Q2, up by 9% year-over-year and by 33% quarter-over-quarter. 

The Company’s gross loss for Q2 was ($224) million, equivalent to a gross margin of (62.7%). This was primarily due to an impairment charge on Net Residual Value (NRV) of $104 million, compared to $5 million in Q1.

Expanding Global Footprint to Drive Sales

VinFast’s strategic expansion through dealership network has shown progress.

As of August 31, VinFast had 155 showrooms across all markets, of which around 70% were dealerships.

Strengthening Presence in Key Markets

Vietnam

VinFast achieved its highest year-over-year growth for Vietnam in the first half of 2024. The VF 5 model has been instrumental in driving the Company’s strong sales performance, securing the VF 5’s position as a domestic leader in its segment. Additionally, the Company began delivering its highly anticipated VF 3, VinFast’s mini electric SUV, in the third quarter of 2024.

North America

In the second quarter of 2024, VinFast continued to build its foundation in the U.S. by introducing its products and strategies to key dealerships. To bolster brand awareness, VinFast expanded customer outreach through its dealer network and established a Dealer Advisory Council to gain valuable insights. As of the second quarter, VinFast now operates in eight states, California, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, New York, and Texas, with a combined network of dealer stores and VinFast-owned showrooms.

In Canada, VinFast recorded 15% quarter-over-quarter growth in the second quarter and is seeing this momentum continue in the third quarter, with July and August seeing its highest delivery levels for North America in the past year.

Southeast Asia

VinFast entered the Indonesian market less than six months ago and has since established 15 showrooms across major cities, including Jakarta and Surabaya. VinFast began delivering its first batch of VF e34 electric vehicle during the third quarter of 2024, making Indonesian customers the first globally to receive right-hand drive VinFast EVs. VinFast also broke ground its completely knocked down (CKD) facility in Indonesia.

VinFast’s innovative battery subscription offer has been a key driver of sales in Indonesia, accounting for nearly 100% of its total sales and orders. This program has also garnered positive feedback in the Philippines, further validating its commitment to making electric vehicles more accessible.

Building on the positive response from dealers in the Philippines, VinFast is eager to introduce additional models to the market in the coming months, further expanding its footprint and product offerings in the region.

Outlook for the Remainder of 2024

VinFast reaffirms its target to deliver approximately 80,000 units in 2024.

Vietnam is expected to play a key role in driving revenue for the remainder of 2024. The growing success of the VF 5 model, along with VinFast’s extensive charging infrastructure, flexible battery subscription program, and strong after-sales services, are expected to reinforce its leadership position in the Vietnamese electric vehicle market.

While international markets continue to face near-term challenges, they remain integral to VinFast’s longer-term growth strategy as the company expands its global brand and distribution network.

VinFast remains committed to its mission of accelerating the global shift to sustainable electric mobility through continuous innovation, product expansion, and market presence./.

Conference Call

The Company’s management will host its second quarter 2024 earnings conference call at 8:00 AM U.S. Eastern Time on September 20, 2024.
