<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p \/>\n<p>\u201c2020 was a transformative year for Riot and we believe that the Company\u2019s prospects have never been brighter,\u201d said Jason Les, Riot\u2019s CEO.\u00a0 \u201cOur strategic decision to solely focus on bitcoin mining in early 2020 allowed the Company to exit 2020 as a public company leader as measured by total hash rate.\u00a0 We are pleased to have invested into continuing our deployed hash rate growth, allowing us to capitalize on the extraordinary current opportunities in bitcoin mining.\u00a0 In 2021, we are amplifying our focus on initiatives that will drive further growth for Riot, including increasing the US-based share of the bitcoin mining landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Achieved profitability during the 2020 fourth quarter, with $3.9 million in net income on a GAAP basis, as compared to a $(3.4) million net loss during the 2019 fourth quarter and as compared to a $(1.7) million loss for the third quarter of 2020.<\/li>\n<li>Mining revenues increased by 116% on a sequential quarter-over-quarter basis, to $5.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 as compared to $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2020.<\/li>\n<li>Comparatively, SG&amp;A increased by only 14% on a sequential quarter-over-quarter basis, to $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 as compared to $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2020.<\/li>\n<li>Total newly mined bitcoin increased by 36% on a sequential quarter-over-quarter basis, with 303 bitcoin mined in the fourth quarter of 2020, as compared to 222 bitcoin mined in the third quarter of 2020.\u00a0 This was predominantly driven by the increase in the Company\u2019s hash rate combined with network hash rate and adjustments in network difficulty.<\/li>\n<li>The average bitcoin price used to calculate Riot\u2019s fourth quarter 2020 revenues was approximately $18,900.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n        <b>Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Highlights<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Working capital significantly increased to $233.9 million from $9.3 million as of December 31, 2019.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Total stockholder\u2019s equity significantly increased to $277.1 million compared to $26.2 million balance as of December 31, 2019.<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrated significant positive operating leverage, increasing total mining revenues by 78% on a year-over-year basis to $12 million in 2020, as compared to $6.7 million in 2019, while increasing total mining costs by only 3% on a year-over-year basis to $6.3 million in 2020, as compared to $6.1 million in 2019.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>More than doubled the number of bitcoin owned on the Company\u2019s balance sheet, ending with 1,078 bitcoin as of December 31, 2020, compared to 514 as of December 31, 2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n        <b>Fiscal Year 2020 Operational Highlights<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Invested in 33,646 Bitmain S19, S19 Pro and S19j Pro Antminers which, when fully installed by the fourth quarter of 2021, is expected to achieve an estimated aggregate bitcoin mining hash rate capacity of 4.0 EH\/s.<\/li>\n<li>Increased deployed hash rate capacity to 566 PH\/s, a 460% increase from 101 PH\/s as of December 31, 2019.<\/li>\n<li>Re-located 100% of the Company\u2019s mining operations from Oklahoma City, OK to Coinmint LLC\u2019s Massena, New York colocation facility to decrease costs of production.<\/li>\n<li>Bolstered the Company\u2019s governance structures with the addition of Hubert Marleau to the Board of Directors as an independent director.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n        <b>Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Results<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Total mining revenue in 2020 was $12

and amortization), was $5.7 million (48% of total mining revenues), as compared to $0.6 million (10% of total mining revenue) in 2019.\u00a0 \u00a0The increase in revenue and gross profit were due to the increase in the Company\u2019s hash rate in addition to an increase in the price of bitcoin during 2020, offset by the Bitcoin halving event in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Selling, general, and administrative (SG&amp;A) expenses in 2020 increased to $10.2 million from $9.1 million in 2019, an increase of 12% year-over-year.\u00a0 The increase in SG&amp;A was primarily due to an increase in consulting fees, legal fees, audit and related professional fees.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Net loss for 2020 was $12.7 million, or $(0.30) per share, compared to a net loss of $20.03 million, or $(1.02) per share in 2019.\u00a0 The net loss included $12.0 million in non-cash items consisting primarily of the impairment of our investment in Coinsquare of $9.4 million, depreciation and amortization (D&amp;A) of $4.5 million and stock-based compensation of $3.4 million, offset by the gain on sale of cryptocurrency discussed below and a net of other items of $0.1 million.
