Fairfield, Conn. – November 14, 2022 – Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GREE) (“Greenidge”), a vertically integrated cryptocurrency datacenter and power generation company, today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2022 and provided an operational update for the month ended October 31, 2022.
“Our third quarter results demonstrated our consistently strong operational performance, as we increased our bitcoin production by 39% over the second quarter’s production due to our focus on miner uptime, coupled with the reliability of controlling our own power afforded by our vertical integration,” said Dave Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of Greenidge. “The prolonged crypto winter that has impacted our industry has caused us to reassess our expansion plans while we work to improve our liquidity.”

Greenidge’s revenue for the third quarter was $29.4 million, down 18% compared to the prior year period. Cryptocurrency datacenter revenue for the third quarter was $18.3 million, down 41% compared to the prior year period, and Power and capacity revenue for the third quarter was $3.6 million, up 17% compared to the prior year period. Greenidge’s Support.com subsidiary, which was acquired in September 2021, generated approximately $7.5 million in third quarter revenue, up 391% as about half of one month’s operations of Support.com was included in Greenidge’s third quarter 2021 results. Support.com revenue is included in Greenidge’s Services and other revenue line item on the income statement.
Greenidge produced approximately 866 bitcoin during the third quarter of 2022, compared to 729 bitcoin in the third quarter of 2021, and had approximately 24,500 miners in service with approximately 2.4 EH/s of combined capacity as of September 30, 2022.
Net loss was $(23.1) million for the third quarter as compared to $(7.9) million in the prior year period. Greenidge’s third quarter 2022 results included $0.8 million of losses on sales of assets, $0.2 million of merger and other costs and $0.2 million of expansion costs. Adjusted net loss was $(22.0) million, compared to Adjusted net income of $12.2 million in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA (loss) for the third quarter was $(2.3) million compared to the prior year period of $21.2 million.
Greenidge ended the quarter with approximately $39 million of cash, restricted cash and fair market value of cryptocurrency holdings, of which, less than $1 million was cryptocurrency holdings.
October 2022 Operational Update
During the month of October 2022, Greenidge produced approximately 269 bitcoin. As of October 31, 2022, Greenidge had approximately 2.5 EH/s of mining capacity from approximately 24,500 miners in service.
Power Plant Performance
Greenidge’s mining operations in Dresden, NY are powered by the power plant located at the facility. The plant is periodically offline for scheduled maintenance outages and for unscheduled outages. In the third quarter of 2022, the plant was offline for zero (0) hours, representing an uptime, defined as running hours divided by total hours in the period, of 100.0%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the plant was offline for six (6) hours, representing an uptime of 99.9%. Offline hours include hours the plant is offline for scheduled maintenance. The plant’s annual maintenance period began near the end of October, resulting in the plant being offline for approximately two days in October, representing an uptime of 97.8% for the month of October and 99.2% for the ten months ended October 31, 2022. There is additional planned time offline during the remainder of the fourth quarter 2022 of approximately 13 days to complete the annual maintenance.
Development Plan Update
Greenidge previously disclosed that it expected to have 3.6 EH/s of mining capacity by the first quarter of 2023. In an effort to preserve its liquidity, Greenidge is currently reassessing its expansion plans. As previously disclosed, during the second quarter of 2022, the price of bitcoin decreased approximately 57% and the cost of natural gas increased approximately 53%. Given the lack of meaningful improvement in the price of bitcoin and the cost of natural gas coupled with Greenidge’s existing financial liabilities, there is uncertainty regarding Greenidge’s financial condition and substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
During the third quarter of 2022, Greenidge continued to reduce its inventory of older, less efficient mining equipment in order to free up mining capacity for newer more, efficient miners in its order book. Greenidge expects this trend to continue through the end of 2022, and may also consider other assets sales to further enhance its liquidity position.

Greenidge compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis.
