Second Quarter 2023 GAAP Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter 2023, ended June 30, 2023, increased 38% sequentially to $10.6 million and decreased 47% over the same quarter last year. The sequential increase was the result of the continued ramp of Mawson's self-mining capacity at its Pennsylvania sites. The prior year period decline resulted from the sale of the Company's Georgia facility in October 2022.
Cost of revenue in the second quarter of 2023 increased 50% sequentially to $7.0 million, from $4.7 million and decreased 51% over the prior year period. Higher power costs associated with the ramp of self-mining capacity, and lower power and facility costs from the sale of the Georgia facility led the changes, respectively. Gross profit increased 18% sequentially to $3.5 million or 33% of revenue and decreased 35% from $5.4 million from the same quarter last year.
SG&A expense for the second quarter of 2023 increased sequentially to $6.3 million from $5.0 million due to higher facility and expenses and decreased from $9.4 million compared to the same quarter last year. In the second quarter 2023, Mawson incurred a net loss of $17.6 million compared to $11.4 million in the prior period and $2.4 million for the same quarter last year.
