Q3 beat. The company reported solid Q3 results, beating our estimates on both revenue and adj. EBITDA. Q3 revenue was $135.3 million, better than our estimate of $130.6 million and adj. EBITDA was $9.2 million, better than our estimate of $7.8 million.
Kiosk re-deployment paying off. After focusing on re-deploying underperforming kiosks during 2023 and in the first half of 2024, the company’s kiosks appear to be gaining traction. This is evident in the median transaction size, which climbed from roughly $200 in the beginning of the year to $250 in Q3. Notably, it takes time for re-deployed kiosks to be discovered by potential users. As a result, newly deployed kiosks tend to have an initial drag on profitability.

ATLANTA, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot Inc. (“Bitcoin Depot” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM operator and leading fintech company, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. Bitcoin Depot will host a conference call and webcast at 10:00 a.m. ET today. An earnings presentation and link to the webcast will be made available at ir.bitcoindepot.com.
“During the third quarter, we made significant strides in expanding our Bitcoin ATM network while working to optimize existing machines for greater profitability,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO and Founder of Bitcoin Depot. “We ended the quarter with 8,300 machines, surpassing our goals and reflecting our team’s execution and vision to enhance Bitcoin’s accessibility.
“In the past year, we’ve focused on relocating underperforming BTMs to more promising locations, a strategy that historically boosts average profitability per kiosk over time. While this improvement may not be fully visible in our consolidated quarterly numbers, the strategy is proving effective. With our extensive kiosk footprint and these initiatives in place, we are confident in our ability to drive shareholder value moving forward.
“As a result of our continued cash flow generation, we believe that beginning a cash dividend to common shareholders in 2025 will be one of the ways we create value for shareholders.”
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $135.3 million, down 25% from $179.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. This decline was largely driven by the impact of unfavorable legislation that was passed in California that went into effect in January 2024, along with the Company’s continued process of relocating underperforming kiosks in order to optimize fleet profitability.
Total operating expenses declined 13% to $16.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $19.5 million for the third quarter of 2023 due to costs of going public in 2023 that did not recur in 2024.
Net income for the third quarter of 2024 increased 116% to $2.3 million, compared to net income of $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase was due to lower operating expenses in 2024, and expenses associated with the PIPE financing in the third quarter of 2023 that did not recur in 2024.
Adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP measure, in the third quarter of 2024 was $22.4 million, down 17% from $26.9 million for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit margin, a non-GAAP measure, in the third quarter of 2024 increased approximately 160 basis points to 16.6% compared to 15.0% in the third quarter of 2023. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, in the third quarter of 2024 decreased 34% to $9.2 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $13.9 million for the third quarter of 2023. The decline was due to the lower revenue. Please see “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Cash and cash equivalents were $32.2 million as of the end of the third quarter of 2024. The Company generated $5.8 million in cash flows from operations in the third quarter and $17.3 million for the first nine months of 2024.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company generated $5.8 million of cash flow from operations compared to $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2023.

We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or other factors that affect the subject of these statements, except where we are expressly required to do so by law.

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Bitcoin Depot reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This press release includes both historical and projected Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom such as Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Gross Profit margin, which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring expenses, share-based compensation, expenses related to the PIPE financing and miscellaneous cost adjustments. Such items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, not driven by core results of operations and renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. In addition, Bitcoin Depot defines Adjusted Gross Profit (a non-GAAP financial measure) as revenue less cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) and depreciation and amortization adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization. Bitcoin Depot believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit each provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Bitcoin Depot’s results of operations, as well as provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of Bitcoin Depot’s business performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit are each key measurements used internally by management to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance and perform strategic and financial planning. However, you should be aware that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Bitcoin Depot’s financial results, and further, that Bitcoin Depot may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Bitcoin Depot primarily relies on GAAP results and uses both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit on a supplemental basis. Neither Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Gross Profit should be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP and may not be indicative of Bitcoin Depot’s historical or future operating results. Bitcoin Depot’s computation of both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate such measures in the same fashion. As such, undue reliance should not be placed on such measures.
Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from the projections of Adjusted EBITDA, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, Bitcoin Depot is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:

Tweaking Q3 forecast. In anticipation of the company’s upcoming Q3 release, we are fine tuning our forecast, by tweaking down our Q3 revenue forecast from $134.0 million to $130.6 million, but maintaining our adj. EBITDA estimate of $7.8 million, as illustrated in Figure #1 Q3 Forecast Revisions.
A conservative approach. Our revision reflects the very near term adverse revenue impact from new kiosks. The company should add 900 kiosks in the second half of 2024. Installed kiosks typically ramp up volume and revenues over a 6 to 9 month period. We are taking a conservative approach to the revenue generation of newly installed kiosks.

Q2 beats expectations. The Company reported Q2 revenue of $163.1 million, beating our estimate of $147.6 million by 10.5%, and adj. EBITDA of $12.7 million, 37.1% above our estimate of $9.2 million. While revenue and adj. EBITDA were down 17.4% and 36.1% from the prior year period, respectively, we view 2024 as a transitional year and the Q2 results favorably.
Kiosk deployment ahead of schedule. Importantly, the company had 8,068 kiosks deployed at the end of Q2, surpassing its goal of having 8,000 kiosks deployed by year end. With more than 10,000 total owned kiosks (deployed and warehoused) and a strong pipeline of potential new partners, we are estimating the number of kiosk deployed at year end to be 9,000.

Bitcoin Depot’s aggressive expansion strategy has been a key driver of this achievement. In the first half of 2024, the Company not only secured contracts to exceed over 8,000 kiosk locations but also enhanced its operational footprint significantly.
Highlights of the company’s achievements year-to-date include:
Announced retail partnership announcements with leading national and regional convenience store brands, increasing accessibility and brand reach.
Expanded its BTM fleet by over 900 kiosks to support 2024 growth initiatives.
Advanced its profit-sharing program through kiosks sales and investments from Sopris Capital.
Adopted a Bitcoin treasury strategy to further align with its commitment to the digital financial ecosystem.
Bitcoin Depot’s ATMs offer a straightforward, quick, and convenient method for converting cash into Bitcoin. This empowers users to participate in the digital financial ecosystem, facilitating payments, transfers, remittances, online purchases, and investments.
Since becoming the largest BTM operator in North America in early 2022, Bitcoin Depot has maintained its market-leading position.

Demonstrates the Company’s Confidence in the Future of Bitcoin by Strategically Allocating a Portion of Cash Reserves to BTC
ATLANTA, June 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced it plans to allocate a portion of its cash reserves to Bitcoin (BTC). Any future purchases will be opportunistic in nature and will not interfere with cash needs to support the company’s multiple growth opportunities.
This shift in BTM’s treasury strategy follows Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-08, which, among other things, allows companies to record gains held on cryptocurrencies. The ASU will apply to all entities with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.
“Adopting Bitcoin as part of our treasury strategy underscores our long-standing belief in Bitcoin as a significant financial asset and a store of value,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO of Bitcoin Depot. “We have always believed in providing easy access to Bitcoin for everyone, and this move reaffirms our confidence in Bitcoin’s potential for growth and stability. Given the recent accounting standards update, it also allows our shareholders to benefit from future BTC appreciation.”
Bitcoin, as an asset, has demonstrated remarkable resilience and growth since its inception, achieving a market capitalization of over $1 trillion at its peak. Institutional adoption has surged, with numerous companies and even countries recognizing Bitcoin’s value proposition. The introduction of Bitcoin ETFs has further legitimized its standing in traditional financial markets, making it more accessible to a wider range of investors. By including Bitcoin in its treasury strategy, Bitcoin Depot aligns itself with other forward-thinking institutions that see cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation and a strategic asset for future growth.
This news also marks the latest show of momentum for Bitcoin Depot, which holds the largest market BTM share in North America, with over 7,400 Bitcoin ATM locations. The announcement follows several recent milestones and expansions for the company, including its first partnership with a major grocery chain as well as the advancement of its newly launched profit share program in April 2024.
The company also recently surpassed its goal of signing 8,000 BTM locations ahead of schedule to achieve the largest installed fleet of locations in its history and announced expansions into new markets, including Puerto Rico and Australia.

A transitional quarter. The company reported Q1 revenue of $138.5 million, down 15% year over year, but beating our estimate of $134.7 million. Adj. EBITDA in the quarter was $4.9 million, higher than our estimate of $4.0 million. The results reflected redeployment of kiosks and lowered results in California due to unfavorable legislation.
Favorable kiosk growth. We believe that the company is setting the stage for accelerated revenue and cash flow growth through the deployment of kiosks. In Q1, the company increased the number of deployed kiosks by roughly 700. Post Q1, the company announced the purchase of approximately 2,300 Bitcoin kiosks at a sizeable discount of roughly 50% per-kiosk. The purchase brings the number of kiosks owned by the company to over 10,000, of which 7,061 were deployed, as of the end of Q1.
