What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Power and capacity revenue surged to $9.2M, driving total revenue to $19.2M (+$4.4M vs. Q4 preliminary), supported by significant grid power provision during extreme cold in Jan–Feb .
  • Continued debt reduction progress: senior unsecured debt cut to $60.2M via privately negotiated exchanges; aggregate principal debt at $66.7M, demonstrating balance sheet focus .
  • Efficiency gains: active fleet improved to 23.8 J/TH through strategic miner upgrades; management emphasized a turnaround trajectory and pursuit of accretive transactions: “disciplined execution… advanced the turnaround… explore strategic transactions to… upscale mining operations” .

What Went Wrong

  • Profitability mixed: EBITDA of $0.4M and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0M were down year over year (Q1 2024 EBITDA $1.1M; Adjusted EBITDA $2.8M), and net loss from operations widened to $5.6M (from $3.9M) .
  • Hosting revenue contracted sequentially to $5.8M from Q4 preliminary $7.3M, and BTC production fell to 112 vs. 166 in Q3 2024, reflecting operational trade-offs and segment mix .

  • Balance sheet discipline: No ELOC usage in Q1 and no plans to sell shares below $2.73; continued privately negotiated exchanges to reduce senior unsecured debt to $60.2M .

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global (SPGI) shows limited or no active consensus coverage for GREE in Q1 2025; Primary EPS Consensus Mean and the count of estimates were unavailable, making beat/miss analysis vs. Street estimates impractical. Revenue and EBITDA entries reflect actuals rather than consensus [GetEstimates].
  • Implication: Portfolio managers should anchor evaluation on company-reported segment dynamics and operational KPIs rather than consensus comparisons this quarter.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • The sharp sequential revenue increase (+29.7%) was powered by exceptional power/capacity sales amid winter grid demand, while hosting contracted and BTC production declined; expect subsequent quarters to normalize segment mix as capacity additions roll in .
  • Efficiency improvements (23.8 J/TH) and ongoing miner upgrades support medium-term margin potential; however, near-term profitability remains constrained (EBITDA $0.4M, Adjusted EBITDA $1.0M) .
  • Balance sheet actions are material: senior unsecured debt cut to $60.2M; aggregate principal debt at $66.7M; cash declined to $4.9M—liquidity needs and asset monetization timing remain key watch items .
  • Strategic pipeline: Mississippi site purchase (40MW by July 2026) and +2.5MW near-term capacity may expand self-mining economics; board refresh aims to accelerate value-maximizing transactions .
  • With limited Street coverage, trade the story on operational progress (power monetization, efficiency gains) and balance sheet catalysts (debt exchanges, asset sale closing) rather than headline beats/misses [GetEstimates] .
  • Monitor: closing of South Carolina property sale, execution on Mississippi build-out, any updates on Dresden permit renewal, and capital structure actions (including ELOC stance and further exchanges) .
  • Risk factors: Profitability sensitivity to power market conditions and BTC price/production; hosting revenue volatility; liquidity and debt service headwinds until further deleveraging is achieved .
