Sphere 3D Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
STAMFORD, Connecticut, May 14, 2025 - Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) ("Sphere 3D" or the "Company"), a Bitcoin mining company, today reported financial results for the first quarter of FY 2025 ended March 31, 2025.
COMMENTS FROM SPHERE 3D LEADERSHIP
"We remain focused on reducing reliance on third-party providers and taking greater control of our operations to improve cash flow and long-term profitability," says Interim CEO Kurt Kalbfleisch. He adds, "Over the past year, we have implemented changes to enhance future revenue generation while reducing SG&A expenses, creating a more durable business model designed to perform across market cycles. Looking ahead, we are committed to scaling with discipline and continuing to position the business to benefit from Bitcoin's long-term adoption."
2025 FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
• In March, Sphere 3D reached a settlement agreement with Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. to resolve all claims against each other on mutually satisfactory terms which resulted in the complete dismissal of outstanding litigation. Sphere 3D made no payments under the settlement agreement.
• In March, our new hosting site in Iowa was fully energized, and Sphere 3D entered into a managed services agreement with Simple Mining to operate the site on our behalf.
• In January, Sphere 3D ended its hosting agreement with Rebel Mining Company LLC and agreed to a termination and settlement amount of $2.4 million payable to Sphere 3D in satisfaction of all obligations of the Rebel hosting agreement and a final settlement of all amounts owed by either party.
BITCOIN ASSET AND VALUE
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a self-mined Bitcoin balance of 22.7 with a fair value of approximately $1.9 million.
FIRST QUARTER FY 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS
• Bitcoin production during the first quarter of 2025 was 30.5 Bitcoin, compared to 144.8 Bitcoin for the first quarter of 2024.
• Revenue decreased to $2.8 million for the first quarter, compared to $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in revenue and bitcoin production was primarily driven by weaker post-halving economics and downtime during our transition away from high-hosting contracts, including one of our previous hosting providers taking approximately 3,300, or 22%, of our mining machines offline in the third quarter of 2024. In addition, in the third quarter of 2024, the Company began the process of removing its older mining equipment and replacing them with newer generation machines.
• Operating costs and expenses for the quarter were $8.0 million, compared to $8.8 million for the first quarter of 2024.
• Depreciation and amortization was $1.6 million, compared to $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2024.
• Investment loss was $3.7 million, compared to $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2024.
• Net loss from operations was $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2024.
• Net loss was $8.8 million, or a net loss of $0.32 per share for the first quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $4.5 million, or a net loss of $0.27 per share, for the first quarter of 2024.
