TAMPA, Fla., April 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LM Funding America, Inc. (NASDAQ: LMFA) (“LM Funding” or the “Company”), a cryptocurrency mining and technology-based specialty finance company, today provided a business update and reported financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2023.
Operational Highlights
- Approximately 5,900 Bitcoin mining machines in operation at hosting sites as of December 31, 2023
- Mined 423.4 Bitcoin in 2023, which generated approximately $12.3 million in revenue based on the $29,000 average price of Bitcoin in 2023
- As of December 31, 2023, held 95.1 Bitcoin valued at approximately $3.4 million
- As of February 29, 2024, held 153.6 Bitcoin valued at approximately $10.8 million based on recent Bitcoin price of approximately $70,000
- Revenue for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, increased approximately 262% and 648%, respectively over the same periods last year
- Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $1.6 million as compared to $19.7 million for the 2022 comparable quarter.
- Achieved positive Core EBITDA (defined below) of $345 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a Core EBITDA loss of $1.7 million for the same period last year. Core EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, and a reconciliation of Core EBITDA to net loss is set forth below in this press release.
Bruce Rodgers, Chairman and CEO of LM Funding, commented, “We made tremendous progress building our Bitcoin mining operations in 2023, our first full year as a Bitcoin mining company. We are extremely pleased with our results as we mined 423.4 Bitcoins valued at approximately $12.3 million based on the average price of Bitcoin during the year. This success drove an almost 648% increase in the Company’s revenue for the year as compared to 2022. In 2023, we adopted an 'Infrastructure Light' strategy, aiming to lessen market risks and fluctuations by concentrating our investments on Bitcoin and mining devices that closely track Bitcoin's value. Additionally, we continue to purchase state-of-the-art mining equipment in anticipation of the upcoming Bitcoin halving, expected to occur in late April or early May of this year. Considering current market conditions and the future outlook for Bitcoin, which recently reached a new all-time high of approximately $73,800, we remain extremely optimistic about the future, as halving events have historically preceded new all-time high Bitcoin prices in the six months post-halving."
Richard Russell, Chief Financial Officer of LM Funding, further noted, "We ended the year with cash plus Bitcoin, valued as of December 31, 2023, of approximately $5.8 million. Including the Bitcoin that we mined through the end of February 2024, our reported Bitcoin holdings of 153.6 Bitcoin are valued at approximately $10.8 million based on the recent Bitcoin price of approximately $70,000. Our working capital stood at $7.4 million as of December 31, 2023, and the equity of LM Funding shareholders was $36.2 million, or $14.52 per share. Given the strength of our balance sheet, we have not had the need to sell any of our Bitcoin holdings through February 2024 to fund our operations and we remain highly encouraged and optimistic regarding the financial outlook for both Bitcoin and the business.”
Financial Highlights
- Total revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023, was approximately $4.1 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or approximately 262%, compared to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, was approximately $13.0 million, an increase of $11.3 million, or more than 648%, from $1.7 million in 2022. These increases were primarily due to digital mining revenue of $3.9 million and $12.3 million in the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, compared with $0.9 million of digital mining revenue for both comparable periods in 2022 as the Company commenced our Bitcoin mining operations in September 2022. The average BTC price for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 used for purposes of recognizing as revenue was approximately $36,500 and $29,000, respectively.
- Net loss attributable to LM Funding shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was approximately $1.6 million, which included a $0.5 million non-cash, unrealized gain on investment and equity securities, and a $0.8 million impairment on our previously owned Symbiont assets, compared to a net loss of approximately $19.7 million for the 2022 comparable quarter, which included a $6.6 million non-cash, unrealized loss on investment and equity securities and a $1.1 million impairment on our Symbiont assets. Net loss attributable to LM Funding shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2023, was approximately $15.9 million, which included a $9.8 million non-cash, unrealized loss on investment and equity securities, and a $0.8 million impairment on our previously owned Symbiont assets, compared to a net loss of approximately $29.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which included a $4.4 million non-cash, unrealized gain on investment and equity securities, and a $1.1 million impairment on the Symbiont assets.
- Positive Core EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2023, totaled approximately $0.3 million compared to a Core EBITDA loss of $1.7 million in the prior year's comparable quarter. Core EBITDA loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, totaled approximately $0.2 million, compared with Core EBITDA loss of $6.5 million in 2022. The improvements in Core EBITDA for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2023, were primarily due to the existence of material Bitcoin mining operations in the current year that did not exist in the prior year. Core EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, and a reconciliation of Core EBITDA to net loss is set forth below in this press release.
- Cash was approximately $2.4 million, with digital assets of $3.4 million, and working capital of $7.4 million as of December 31, 2023, based on 95.1 BTC at a price of approximately $36,000 as of December 31, 2023. The current BTC market price has fluctuated between $62,000 and $73,000 in recent weeks. In 2023, the Company also received approximately $2.7 million from SeaStar Medical Holdings as a partial repayment of their outstanding note receivable.
- Total LM Funding stockholders’ equity was approximately $36.2 million, or $14.52 per share, as of December 31, 2023 (with the per-share amount calculated as LMFA stockholders’ equity divided by approximately 2,492,964 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2023).

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION (unaudited)
Our reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We also disclose Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Core Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization ("Core EBITDA") which adjusts for unrealized loss on investment and equity securities, unrealized gain on convertible debt securities, impairment loss on mined digital assets, impairment of intangible long-lived assets, impairment of prepaid hosting deposits, impairment of mining machine deposits and gain on adjustment of note receivable allowance and stock compensation expense and option expense, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of Bitcoin miners.
The following tables reconcile net loss, which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Core EBITDA:
