TAMPA, Fla., May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LM Funding America, Inc. (NASDAQ: LMFA) (“LM Funding” or the “Company”), a Bitcoin treasury and mining company, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Q1’26 Financial Highlights
Q1’26 and Recent Operational Highlights
Management Commentary
"The first quarter reflected strong operating performance in a softer Bitcoin price environment," said Bruce Rodgers, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LM Funding. "We increased production, reached record hashrate, and maintained margins from the fourth quarter 2025, while remaining focused on our Bitcoin mining and treasury strategy. Our priority is execution and closing the gap between our public valuation and the underlying value of our Bitcoin holdings and platform.”
"The first quarter was the first full period during which our expanded fleet operated at scale across both wholly-owned sites," said Ryan Duran, President of U.S. Digital Mining. "We produced 26.1 Bitcoin across Oklahoma and Mississippi, energized our second BC40 Elite immersion-cooled unit at Oklahoma in January, and deployed approximately 300 Bitmain S19 XP miners at Oklahoma in late February — driving energized hashrate to approximately 790 PH/s in March, the highest in the Company's history. With ASIC efficiency gains compressing across recent generations, we believe our deployed S19 XP, S21, and S21 immersion fleet will retain its competitive position in the network meaningfully longer than equivalent hardware would have in prior cycles."
"First quarter revenue declined approximately 11% year-over-year to $2.1 million, primarily reflecting a lower average realized Bitcoin price, partially offset by a 19% sequential increase in Bitcoin production," said Richard Russell, Chief Financial Officer of LM Funding. "Mining margin held at approximately 24%, in line with the 25% fourth quarter 2025 mining margin, supported by approximately $368,000 of curtailment and energy sales. The reported net loss of $10.1 million and Core EBITDA 2 loss of $8.4 million were driven primarily by approximately $7.0 million of non-cash Bitcoin fair value adjustments and ongoing operating costs of the expanded platform. We extended the Galaxy Digital facility maturity to June 26, 2026 during the quarter and ended the period with $41.8 million of total assets, a 338.2 Bitcoin treasury, and $22.7 million of total liabilities — a balance sheet that we believe is positioned to support continued operating execution and selective accretive growth."

NON-GAAP CORE EBITDA RECONCILIATION
Our reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We also disclose Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Core Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization ("Core EBITDA") which adjusts for unrealized loss (gain) on investment and equity securities, loss on disposal of mining equipment, impairment loss on mining equipment and stock compensation expense and option expense, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of Bitcoin miners.
The following tables reconcile net income (loss), which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Core EBITDA:
1 Bitcoin per share calculated using 21,530,281 diluted shares outstanding as of April 30, 2026 which includes 17,352,281 shares outstanding and 4,178,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.001 per share as of April 30, 2026.
2 Core EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, and a reconciliation of Core EBITDA to net income can be found below.
