Reports Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results By: ACCESSWIRE April 01, 2024 at 12:45 PM EDT LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / April 1, 2024 / Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. (Nasdaq:GRYP) ("Gryphon" or the "Company"), a bitcoin mining company that is independently certified to be 100% renewable and pursuing a negative carbon strategy, today reported financial results for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Rob Chang, CEO of Gryphon, commented, "2023 and the year to date has been a transformational period for Gryphon, culminating in our Nasdaq listing in February. Our positive net cash flow in 2023 and Breakeven Cost (as defined below) per Bitcoin of approximately $18,200 demonstrate our industry leading operational efficiency. Our current self-mining hashrate stands at 0.9 exahash, and we have ambitious plans to expand. Our aim is to quickly reach 10 exahash, propelling us from a smaller player to a significant industry presence - all the while leading the way in financial sustainability and efficiency." Mr. Chang added, "Gryphon's management team, featuring former c-suite executives from industry giants Marathon and Riot, brings industry leading experience and a proven track record of success. With such pedigreed experience, we think we are well-equipped to achieve our goals and establish ourselves as a premier player in the market. In sum, with our strong foundation, operational efficiency, and strategic expansion plans, Gryphon believes it is well-positioned to navigate the challenges of the post-halving landscape, achieve a position as an industry leader, and deliver long-term value to our shareholders." Financial Highlights of Fiscal Year 2023 Total mining revenue for 2023 of $21.1 million, compared to the prior year $21.4 million in 2022. Breakeven Cost[1] per Bitcoin in 2023 was $18,217, compared to $14,964 in 2022. The company is focused on Breakeven Costs, which we believe is the best measure of what it costs to mine bitcoin on an operating basis. Some of our peers only focus on electricity costs and leave out the other costs to mine. We believe that a focus on the Breakeven Costs to produce a bitcoin at the mine level has the potential to offer the transparency needed to compare operations on an apples-to-apples basis. The Company recognized a net loss for the year of ($28.6) million, which includes non-cash expenses of $36.5 million. Non-cash expenses mainly consisted of depreciation, non-cash machine impairment and the non-cash notional valuation of the company's BTC loan. This compares to net income in 2022 of $3.5 million, which was also subject to non-cash expenses, and benefited from $24.5 million in non-cash gains due to a non-cash gain on the extinguishment of debt and the non-cash notional valuation of the company's BTC loan. Adjusted EBITDA[2] was $4.8 million, compared to $7.4 million in the prior year. [1] The Company defines Breakeven Cost per Bitcoin as (a) Cost of Revenues (excluding depreciation) divided by (b) total bitcoin generated and received from the hashrate contributed to the mining pool operator. The Company mined approximately 739 and 815 Bitcoin, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.[2] The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as (a) GAAP net income (loss) plus (b) adjustments to add back the impacts of (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) interest expense, (3) income tax expense (benefit) and (4) adjustments for non-cash and non-recurring items which currently include (i) stock compensation expense, (ii) impairments of miners pursuant to ASC 360, (iii) impairments of digital currency pursuant to ASC 350 (iv) realized gain from use of digital assets as it relates to the bitcoin denominated note payable and (v) gain/loss on debt extinguishment. Balance Sheet Highlights as of December 31, 2023 Assets Cash and cash equivalents: $915,000 Bitcoin: 67.2 Total current assets: $5.4 million Total mining assets (including deposits & intangible assets): $13.4 million Total assets: $18.8 million Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Current liabilities: $19.4 million Total liabilities: $19.4 million As of February 29, 2024, the Company had cash holdings of $1.4 million, Bitcoin holdings of approximately 60.4 Bitcoin with a fair market value of $3.7 million and 330.3 Bitcoin of Bitcoin denominated debt. 2024 Outlook Based on an average price of Bitcoin of $70,000 and an average network hashrate of 550 exahash for 2024, we are currently projecting gross profit of approximately $16.6 million from mining operations. We have posted a gross profit sensitivity analysis in our investor presentation, which can be found on slide 14 of our investor deck on our company website. Sphere 3D Litigation On March 25, 2024, Gryphon filed a motion with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking permission to file a motion for prejudgment attachment, seeking to secure $10 million in equity proceeds that Sphere recently received from a settlement related to Core Scientific's bankruptcy exit. We want to ensure that the funds are available to satisfy any judgment we may receive due to Sphere's breach of contract, where it entered into at least four hosting agreements with other providers, violating the exclusivity clause of its agreement with Gryphon. We are seeking damages amounting to at least $30 million. Over the last four months, Sphere has revealed its growing financial troubles. On November 28, 2023, in a filing in the Core Bankruptcy Action, Sphere's counsel acknowledged that the company was operating with a $200 million net loss and that recent losses had overtaken revenue by a two-to-one margin. Sphere's stated rationale for terminating the contract - that a malicious actor had diverted bitcoin transfers from Sphere to a third party - was not only unfounded, but was, in fact, evidence of gross negligence on the part of Sphere that allowed activities from malicious actors where Gryphon became the victim. Gryphon engaged an independent third-party security firm who confirmed that Gryphon's systems were not compromised.

Each of these are not financial measures of performance under GAAP and, as a result, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to material limitations as they are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, measurements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read only in conjunction with our Interim Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Reports on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Breakeven Cost as a means of understanding, managing, and evaluating business performance and to help inform operating decision making. The Company relies primarily on its condensed consolidated financial statements to understand, manage, and evaluate our financial performance and uses the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.

Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. Reports Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results By: ACCESSWIRE April 01, 2024 at 12:45 PM EDT LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / April 1, 2024 / Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. (Nasdaq:GRYP) ("Gryphon" or the "Company"), a bitcoin mining company that is independently certified to be 100% renewable and pursuing a negative carbon strategy, today reported financial results for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Rob Chang, CEO of Gryphon, commented, "2023 and the year to date has been a transformational period for Gryphon, culminating in our Nasdaq listing in February. Our positive net cash flow in 2023 and Breakeven Cost (as defined below) per Bitcoin of approximately $18,200 demonstrate our industry leading operational efficiency. Our current self-mining hashrate stands at 0.9 exahash, and we have ambitious plans to expand. Our aim is to quickly reach 10 exahash, propelling us from a smaller player to a significant industry presence - all the while leading the way in financial sustainability and efficiency." Mr. Chang added, "Gryphon's management team, featuring former c-suite executives from industry giants Marathon and Riot, brings industry leading experience and a proven track record of success. With such pedigreed experience, we think we are well-equipped to achieve our goals and establish ourselves as a premier player in the market. In sum, with our strong foundation, operational efficiency, and strategic expansion plans, Gryphon believes it is well-positioned to navigate the challenges of the post-halving landscape, achieve a position as an industry leader, and deliver long-term value to our shareholders." Financial Highlights of Fiscal Year 2023 Total mining revenue for 2023 of $21.1 million, compared to the prior year $21.4 million in 2022. Breakeven Cost[1] per Bitcoin in 2023 was $18,217, compared to $14,964 in 2022. The company is focused on Breakeven Costs, which we believe is the best measure of what it costs to mine bitcoin on an operating basis. Some of our peers only focus on electricity costs and leave out the other costs to mine. We believe that a focus on the Breakeven Costs to produce a bitcoin at the mine level has the potential to offer the transparency needed to compare operations on an apples-to-apples basis. The Company recognized a net loss for the year of ($28.6) million, which includes non-cash expenses of $36.5 million. Non-cash expenses mainly consisted of depreciation, non-cash machine impairment and the non-cash notional valuation of the company's BTC loan. This compares to net income in 2022 of $3.5 million, which was also subject to non-cash expenses, and benefited from $24.5 million in non-cash gains due to a non-cash gain on the extinguishment of debt and the non-cash notional valuation of the company's BTC loan. Adjusted EBITDA[2] was $4.8 million, compared to $7.4 million in the prior year. [1] The Company defines Breakeven Cost per Bitcoin as (a) Cost of Revenues (excluding depreciation) divided by (b) total bitcoin generated and received from the hashrate contributed to the mining pool operator. The Company mined approximately 739 and 815 Bitcoin, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.[2] The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as (a) GAAP net income (loss) plus (b) adjustments to add back the impacts of (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) interest expense, (3) income tax expense (benefit) and (4) adjustments for non-cash and non-recurring items which currently include (i) stock compensation expense, (ii) impairments of miners pursuant to ASC 360, (iii) impairments of digital currency pursuant to ASC 350 (iv) realized gain from use of digital assets as it relates to the bitcoin denominated note payable and (v) gain/loss on debt extinguishment. Balance Sheet Highlights as of December 31, 2023 Assets Cash and cash equivalents: $915,000 Bitcoin: 67.2 Total current assets: $5.4 million Total mining assets (including deposits & intangible assets): $13.4 million Total assets: $18.8 million Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Current liabilities: $19.4 million Total liabilities: $19.4 million As of February 29, 2024, the Company had cash holdings of $1.4 million, Bitcoin holdings of approximately 60.4 Bitcoin with a fair market value of $3.7 million and 330.3 Bitcoin of Bitcoin denominated debt. 2024 Outlook Based on an average price of Bitcoin of $70,000 and an average network hashrate of 550 exahash for 2024, we are currently projecting gross profit of approximately $16.6 million from mining operations. We have posted a gross profit sensitivity analysis in our investor presentation, which can be found on slide 14 of our investor deck on our company website. Sphere 3D Litigation On March 25, 2024, Gryphon filed a motion with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking permission to file a motion for prejudgment attachment, seeking to secure $10 million in equity proceeds that Sphere recently received from a settlement related to Core Scientific's bankruptcy exit. We want to ensure that the funds are available to satisfy any judgment we may receive due to Sphere's breach of contract, where it entered into at least four hosting agreements with other providers, violating the exclusivity clause of its agreement with Gryphon. We are seeking damages amounting to at least $30 million. Over the last four months, Sphere has revealed its growing financial troubles. On November 28, 2023, in a filing in the Core Bankruptcy Action, Sphere's counsel acknowledged that the company was operating with a $200 million net loss and that recent losses had overtaken revenue by a two-to-one margin. Sphere's stated rationale for terminating the contract - that a malicious actor had diverted bitcoin transfers from Sphere to a third party - was not only unfounded, but was, in fact, evidence of gross negligence on the part of Sphere that allowed activities from malicious actors where Gryphon became the victim. Gryphon engaged an independent third-party security firm who confirmed that Gryphon's systems were not compromised.

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / April 1, 2024 / Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. (Nasdaq:GRYP) ("Gryphon" or the "Company"), a bitcoin mining company that is independently certified to be 100% renewable and pursuing a negative carbon strategy, today reported financial results for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Rob Chang, CEO of Gryphon, commented, "2023 and the year to date has been a transformational period for Gryphon, culminating in our Nasdaq listing in February. Our positive net cash flow in 2023 and Breakeven Cost (as defined below) per Bitcoin of approximately $18,200 demonstrate our industry leading operational efficiency. Our current self-mining hashrate stands at 0.9 exahash, and we have ambitious plans to expand. Our aim is to quickly reach 10 exahash, propelling us from a smaller player to a significant industry presence - all the while leading the way in financial sustainability and efficiency." Mr. Chang added, "Gryphon's management team, featuring former c-suite executives from industry giants Marathon and Riot, brings industry leading experience and a proven track record of success. With such pedigreed experience, we think we are well-equipped to achieve our goals and establish ourselves as a premier player in the market. In sum, with our strong foundation, operational efficiency, and strategic expansion plans, Gryphon believes it is well-positioned to navigate the challenges of the post-halving landscape, achieve a position as an industry leader, and deliver long-term value to our shareholders." Financial Highlights of Fiscal Year 2023 Total mining revenue for 2023 of $21.1 million, compared to the prior year $21.4 million in 2022. Breakeven Cost[1] per Bitcoin in 2023 was $18,217, compared to $14,964 in 2022. The company is focused on Breakeven Costs, which we believe is the best measure of what it costs to mine bitcoin on an operating basis. Some of our peers only focus on electricity costs and leave out the other costs to mine. We believe that a focus on the Breakeven Costs to produce a bitcoin at the mine level has the potential to offer the transparency needed to compare operations on an apples-to-apples basis. The Company recognized a net loss for the year of ($28.6) million, which includes non-cash expenses of $36.5 million. Non-cash expenses mainly consisted of depreciation, non-cash machine impairment and the non-cash notional valuation of the company's BTC loan. This compares to net income in 2022 of $3.5 million, which was also subject to non-cash expenses, and benefited from $24.5 million in non-cash gains due to a non-cash gain on the extinguishment of debt and the non-cash notional valuation of the company's BTC loan. Adjusted EBITDA[2] was $4.8 million, compared to $7.4 million in the prior year. [1] The Company defines Breakeven Cost per Bitcoin as (a) Cost of Revenues (excluding depreciation) divided by (b) total bitcoin generated and received from the hashrate contributed to the mining pool operator. The Company mined approximately 739 and 815 Bitcoin, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.[2] The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as (a) GAAP net income (loss) plus (b) adjustments to add back the impacts of (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) interest expense, (3) income tax expense (benefit) and (4) adjustments for non-cash and non-recurring items which currently include (i) stock compensation expense, (ii) impairments of miners pursuant to ASC 360, (iii) impairments of digital currency pursuant to ASC 350 (iv) realized gain from use of digital assets as it relates to the bitcoin denominated note payable and (v) gain/loss on debt extinguishment. Balance Sheet Highlights as of December 31, 2023 Assets Cash and cash equivalents: $915,000 Bitcoin: 67.2 Total current assets: $5.4 million Total mining assets (including deposits & intangible assets): $13.4 million Total assets: $18.8 million Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Current liabilities: $19.4 million Total liabilities: $19.4 million As of February 29, 2024, the Company had cash holdings of $1.4 million, Bitcoin holdings of approximately 60.4 Bitcoin with a fair market value of $3.7 million and 330.3 Bitcoin of Bitcoin denominated debt. 2024 Outlook Based on an average price of Bitcoin of $70,000 and an average network hashrate of 550 exahash for 2024, we are currently projecting gross profit of approximately $16.6 million from mining operations. We have posted a gross profit sensitivity analysis in our investor presentation, which can be found on slide 14 of our investor deck on our company website. Sphere 3D Litigation On March 25, 2024, Gryphon filed a motion with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking permission to file a motion for prejudgment attachment, seeking to secure $10 million in equity proceeds that Sphere recently received from a settlement related to Core Scientific's bankruptcy exit. We want to ensure that the funds are available to satisfy any judgment we may receive due to Sphere's breach of contract, where it entered into at least four hosting agreements with other providers, violating the exclusivity clause of its agreement with Gryphon. We are seeking damages amounting to at least $30 million. Over the last four months, Sphere has revealed its growing financial troubles. On November 28, 2023, in a filing in the Core Bankruptcy Action, Sphere's counsel acknowledged that the company was operating with a $200 million net loss and that recent losses had overtaken revenue by a two-to-one margin. Sphere's stated rationale for terminating the contract - that a malicious actor had diverted bitcoin transfers from Sphere to a third party - was not only unfounded, but was, in fact, evidence of gross negligence on the part of Sphere that allowed activities from malicious actors where Gryphon became the victim. Gryphon engaged an independent third-party security firm who confirmed that Gryphon's systems were not compromised.

In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. See "Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below. Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "plan," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "outlook," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "continue," "could," "may," "might," "possible," "think," "aim," "potential," "predict," "should," "would" and other similar words and expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release or as of the date they are made. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, Gryphon disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release. Gryphon cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Gryphon. In addition, Gryphon cautions you that the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are subject to the risks set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the section under "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024.
