Operational Highlights for the Second Quarter 2022
Management Commentary
"In the second quarter of 2022, we managed to modestly increase bitcoin production on a sequential basis despite the previously announced interruptions to certain hosting partners' operations. Fortunately, our team is well versed when it comes to overcoming logistical hurdles. Our rapid response included signing a new hosting agreement with Coinmint for 20 MW of primarily carbon-free power and executing a hash rate swap agreement with another miner which provided for a 25% boost to our swapped hash rate. These actions helped propel our active hash rate to 1.06 EH/s by early July, which is nearly double where our active hash rate stood prior to the interruptions at the end of April.
Subsequent to quarter end, we also announced a new 5 MW hosting agreement with a provider in Canada at a location that is primarily hydro powered. The relatively small size speaks to our strategy of diversifying hosting to minimize site and counterparty risk. Importantly, this agreement not only advances our goal of becoming entirely carbon-free but is also expected to help reduce our weighted average cost of power.
The price of bitcoin decreased substantially during the second quarter, reducing industrywide margins, and forcing difficult decisions across the industry. Fortunately, our balance sheet remains strong, partially insulating us from short-term price movements and enabling us to advance our long-term vision. We ended the quarter with $45 million in cash, over $70 million in total liquidity, zero debt, and no outstanding miner purchase obligations. This provides us ample flexibility to continue deploying miners and canvas the market for opportunistic purchases at potentially distressed pricing."
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We are providing supplemental financial measures for (i) non-GAAP income from operations and (ii) non-GAAP net income. These supplemental financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under US GAAP and, as a result, these supplemental financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to help understand, manage, and evaluate our business performance and to help make operating decisions. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis.
The following is a reconciliation of non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, which excludes the impact of (i) depreciation of property and equipment, and (ii) share based compensation expenses, to its most directly comparable GAAP measures for the periods indicated:

Investor Notice
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and forward-looking statements described under "Risk Factors" in Item 3.D of our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. If any material risk was to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. Future changes in the network-wide mining difficulty rate or bitcoin hash rate may also materially affect the future performance of Bit Digital's production of bitcoin. Actual operating results will vary depending on many factors including network difficulty rate, total hash rate of the network, the operations of our facilities, the status of our miners, and other factors. Additionally, all discussions of financial metrics assume mining difficulty rates as of August 2022. See "Safe Harbor Statement" below.
