3Q25. With earnings expected on April 2nd, we continue to favor RGP shares. We expect 3Q25 results to remain muted, given the ongoing economic uncertainty and elongated decision times. Nonetheless, we believe RGP’s rich portfolio of diversified offerings encompassing professional staffing support, consulting, and outsourced services creates a strategic powerhouse that we believe will drive value for investors over the long term.
Increased Efficiency in a Growing Market. The global professional services industry is projected to increase by a 6% CAGR over the next five years, growing to $95 billion, according to research published by Statista.

Solid Q4 results. The company reported sequential revenue growth in Q4 with revenue of $136.8 million (up from $135.3 million in Q3), better than our estimate of $125.1 million. Adj. EBITDA was $12.0 million, better than our estimate of $6.4 million.
Margin improvement. The strong adj. EBITDA margins of 8.8% in Q4 were the highest of any quarter in 2024. The impressive margins were driven by better transaction spreads at the company’s kiosks, armored transport cost reductions, and lower rents in some kiosk locations. Moreover, the company benefitted from a falloff of initial public company costs (in comparison to the prior year period).

4Q Results. Total revenue for the quarter was $26.1 million, as the HPC business added $14.4 million from last year. We estimated revenue of $29.6 million. Higher G&A and D&A costs partially offset a $43.4 million digital asset gain, resulting in an operating income of $28.8 million. Net income was $29.0 million from $17,700 a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $40.1 million from $14.0 million last year.
Pipeline Building Up. Management noted that demand has surged for the B200 GPUs, and with the introduction of DeepSeek, customers are also in demand of the H100 and H200 GPUs. Furthermore, the Company’s data center pipeline has expanded to 510MW from 288MW last quarter. With the increase in demand and management in active discussions with potential customers, we expect more agreements to be announced sooner rather than later.

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 Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report”). Notwithstanding the fact that Bit Digital Inc. has not conducted operations in the PRC since September 30, 2021 we have previously disclosed under Risk Factors in our Annual Report: “We may be subject to fines and penalties for any noncompliance with or any liabilities in our former business in China in a certain period from now on.” Although the statute of limitations for non-compliance by our former business in the PRC is generally two years and the Company has been out of the PRC, for more than two years, the Authority may still find its prior bitcoin mining operations involved a threat to financial security. In such event, the two-year period would be extended to five years. 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. See “Safe Harbor Statement” below.

Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release.

Mr. Danker continued, “We look forward to benefitting from Chris’s and Srdjan’s valuable growth-oriented healthcare expertise to help augment the Company’s mission to drive long-term value creation.”

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– SelectQuote, Inc.

Finally, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA* for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $87.5 million compared to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA* for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 of $67.4 million.
SelectQuote Chief Executive Officer, Tim Danker, remarked, “SelectQuote delivered impressive results during our fiscal second quarter despite a historically disruptive Annual Enrollment Period. Our strong policy volume and Senior Adjusted EBITDA margin of 39%, up approximately 750 basis points year-over-year, are additional proof points of our differentiated, high-touch, agent-led model. American Seniors faced an unprecedented level of plan terminations and benefit changes this season, and we take great pride in that fact that consumers sought out SelectQuote as they navigated such a challenging market backdrop. As we’ve said before, SelectQuote wins when our customers win, and this quarter is evidence of that.”
Mr. Danker continued, “SelectQuote also delivered another quarter of strong results within our Healthcare Services segment, led by SelectRx. We now have over 96,000 members, which represents growth of 54% compared to a year ago. Importantly, we expanded our global Revenue to CAC to 5.3X, which demonstrates our continued ability to generate attractive returns as a comprehensive healthcare services provider.”
“Additionally, we took another large step to improve our capital structure with today’s announcement of a $350 million strategic investment led by Bain Capital and Morgan Stanley Private Credit. The transaction provides improved liquidity and operating flexibility to grow within our Senior and Healthcare Services businesses. We are excited to have Bain Capital and Morgan Stanley Private Credit as strategic partners as we pursue the tremendous growth opportunity provided by our unique platform within the healthcare ecosystem.”

Segment Results
We currently have three reportable segments: 1) Senior, 2) Healthcare Services and 3) Life. The performance measures of the segments include total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.* Costs of commissions and other services revenue, cost of goods sold-pharmacy revenue, marketing and advertising, selling, general, and administrative, and technical development operating expenses that are directly attributable to a segment are reported within the applicable segment. Indirect costs of revenue, marketing and advertising, selling, general, and administrative, and technical development operating expenses are allocated to each segment based on varying metrics such as headcount. Adjusted EBITDA is our segment profit measure to evaluate the operating performance of our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit) plus: (i) interest expense, net; (ii) depreciation and amortization; (iii) share-based compensation; (iv) goodwill, long-lived asset, and intangible assets impairments; (v) transaction costs; (vi) loss on disposal of property, equipment and software, net; (vii) other non-recurring expenses and income; (viii) changes in fair value of warrant liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Agreement in Place. Yesterday, Bit Digital announced it secured a colocation contract through WhiteFiber, its newly rebranded HPC business, and an unnamed client. Under the agreement, the Company will provide 5MW of built-to-suit data center infrastructure for a period of five years. The Company anticipates the contract to commence in mid-2025. No financial terms of the agreement were disclosed.
Potential Financial Impact. While no financial terms were given in the announcement, based on Enovum’s current 4MW colocation data center producing $7.2 million in revenue annually, the new agreement could generate roughly $9 million in additional revenue if the terms are similar. We expect a $5-$5.6 million impact for annualized EBITDA based on the $4-$4.5 million from the initial data center.

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 Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report”). Notwithstanding the fact that Bit Digital Inc. has not conducted operations in the PRC since September 30, 2021 we have previously disclosed under Risk Factors in our Annual Report: “We may be subject to fines and penalties for any noncompliance with or any liabilities in our former business in China in a certain period from now on.” Although the statute of limitations for non-compliance by our former business in the PRC is generally two years and the Company has been out of the PRC, for more than two years, the Authority may still find its prior bitcoin mining operations involved a threat to financial security. In such event, the two-year period would be extended to five years. 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. See “Safe Harbor Statement” below.
