Exodus Reports Strong Q2 2024 Performance Despite Net Losses

Cryptocurrency wallet Exodus has showcased remarkable financial performance for the second quarter of 2024, despite experiencing notable losses. The company reported an 80% year-over-year (YoY) revenue increase, reaching $22.3 million. However, this strong revenue growth was accompanied by a net loss of $9.6 million, contrasting sharply with a net income of $1.9 million reported in Q2 2023.

A spokesperson for Exodus attributed the loss primarily to a decrease in digital asset values, particularly Bitcoin, which affected the value of their significant digital asset treasury, rather than issues with operational profitability.

“The loss in Q2 was due to lower digital asset prices causing the value of our large Bitcoin and other digital asset treasury to decrease and not due to unprofitable operations,” the spokesperson told Cointelegraph.

Positive Adjusted EBITDA and Revenue Streams

Despite the net loss, Exodus achieved a 43% increase in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), rising from $4.1 million in Q2 2023 to $5.8 million in Q2 2024.

The primary source of Exodus’ revenue is its exchange aggregation service, which generated $19.9 million, accounting for 89% of the company’s operating revenue. This service allows users to swap one cryptocurrency for another directly within the Exodus platform, leveraging API agreements with centralized exchanges to secure optimal trading prices.

Revenue from the exchange aggregator surged nearly 94% compared to $11.6 million in Q2 2023. Other revenue sources included fiat onboarding and offboarding, contributing 4.3% of operating revenue with $1 million, and additional revenue from staking, consulting, and other services, accounting for around 6% of total revenues.

Operational Milestones and Market Impact

Exodus also reported significant operational achievements in Q2 2024. The platform’s monthly active user base expanded to 1.5 million, up from 1.2 million in the previous year. Exchange provider processed volume reached $1.05 billion, a 78% increase from $0.59 billion in Q2 2023.

Top traded assets during the quarter included Bitcoin, TRC-20 Tether, ERC-20 Tether, and Ether, which together comprised 64% of the trading volume.

James Gernetzke, Exodus’ Chief Financial Officer, emphasized the company’s performance:

“In Q2, we delivered both high year-over-year revenue growth and operational excellence, which demonstrate the strength of our business model as well as the overall momentum of the digital asset market.”

He added that the early traction of their B2B strategy is expected to enhance their market presence, leveraging their reputation and history of delivering a top-notch digital wallet experience.

Founded in 2016, Exodus is a self-custodial wallet supporting over 100,000 digital assets. According to CryptoRank data, Exodus ranked as the 7th top crypto wallet by downloads in July 2024, with 133,000 monthly downloads.

This strong performance highlights Exodus’ growing influence in the crypto wallet space, demonstrating resilience and growth despite the challenging market conditions.
