Cryptologic Releases 2019 Third Quarter Financial Results

TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cryptologic Inc. (“Cryptologic” or the “Company”) (CSE:CRY) today announces its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.  Selected financial information of the Company for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2018 is set forth below:
Cryptologic mined a total of 602.91 Bitcoin in the three months ended September 30, 2019, at an average price per Bitcoin for the quarter of $13,706.  The Company achieved an Adjusted EBITDA1 of $3.9 million, or $0.17 per outstanding share, resulting in an Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 of 44% for the three months ending September 30, 2019.  The Company’s cost of revenue, which includes electricity cost, contractors’ fees and general facility operating costs, but excludes non-cash depreciation of mining and infrastructure equipment, resulted in an average cost per Bitcoin mined of $6,937, an increase of $2,494 or 67% from $4,443 for the three months ended June 30, 2019.  The increase in the cost of mining a Bitcoin is attributable to the increase in network difficulty corresponding to an increase in network hashrate resulting in fewer coins mined for the period on a per miner basis. Average network difficulty for the three months ended September 30, 2019, was 10.08 trillion as compared to 6.87 trillion for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
The Company reported net income of $2.1 million for quarter on revenue of $8.7 million.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reported net income of $1.9 million on revenue $23.6 million.The financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and the related management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) are available on Cryptologic’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.For information or interview please contact:Jordan Greenberg
