SINGAPORE, April 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) (“Bitdeer” or the “Company”), a world-leading technology company for the cryptocurrency mining community, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Full Year 2022 Financial and Operational Highlights
Linghui Kong, Chief Executive Officer of Bitdeer, said, “Despite the volatility in cryptocurrency prices and temporary dislocation in the crypto industry, we bucked the trend and achieved a positive adjusted net profit and a positive adjusted EBITDA in the full year of 2022, thus demonstrating the viability and resilience of our business model. We successfully expanded our infrastructure to 775 megawatts in electricity capacity in 2022, and plan to increase our scale even further to up to 1,524 megawatts in the future. Meanwhile, through prudent expense management, we maintained an abundant capital reserve as of the end of 2022, including $231.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $31.1 million in fiat currency investment redeemable on demand. Becoming a public company in the United States on April 14, 2023 marks the beginning of a new journey for us, a journey we plan to traverse with renewed energy, sharpened vision, and unwavering commitment to generating lasting value for our shareholders.”

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
In evaluating the Company’s business, the Company considers and uses non-IFRS measures, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted profit/(loss), as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude share-based payment expenses under IFRS 2, and defines adjusted profit/(loss) as profit/(loss) adjusted to exclude share-based payment expenses under IFRS 2. The Company presents these non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by its management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of these non-IFRS measures facilitate investors’ assessment of its operating performance. These measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, investors should not consider these measures in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, the Company’s profit/(loss) for the periods, as determined in accordance with IFRS.
The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling these non-IFRS financial measures to the nearest IFRS performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The Company encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
The following table presents a reconciliation of profit/(loss) for the relevant period to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted profit/(loss), for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
