Argo Blockchain plc Q1 2022 Earnings Summary

Date: Q1 2022 Results Investor Presentation (May 2022)

Key Context: Argo Blockchain reported results amid a flat hash rate period while focusing on Helios facility construction in Texas. Performance showed revenue and production growth year-over-year but mining margins declined due to rising network difficulty. The company emphasized sustainability (100% carbon-neutral operations) and launched its Helios facility on May 5, 2022.

Financial Performance

  • Revenue: $19.5 million (approx. GBP 15 million) — 9% increase vs. Q1 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $19.1 million (excludes non-cash items like share-based payments and unrealized digital asset changes) — strong performance indicating operational efficiency.
  • Net Income: $2.1 million (approx. GBP 1.6 million).
  • Bitcoin Mined: 470 BTC — 21% increase vs. Q1 2021.
  • Mining Margin: 76% (direct cost per BTC: $9,779 / GBP 7,448) — down from 84% for full-year 2021, primarily due to higher global hash rate and network difficulty.
  • Bitcoin Holdings (HODL): 2,700 BTC and equivalents at quarter-end (10% allocated to Argo Labs).
