Item 1. |
You should read the following discussion and analysis of Exodus’ financial condition and results of operations together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and
related notes that are included elsewhere in this Semi-Annual report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. Exodus’ actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors,” “Special Forward Looking Statements,” and in other parts of this Semi-Annual report and the
Company’s Form 1-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 2, 2023.
Overview of Our Business
Exodus’ mission is to help the world exit the traditional finance system. Exodus is a self-custodial platform that connects people with the world of decentralized finance and the power of the blockchain. On December 9,
2015, we launched Exodus to empower users of our wallet (“users”) to securely control, manage, and grow their wealth. Every two weeks since then, we have released new updates and improved our user experience.
We believe that digital assets should be easy to use and easy to understand. Our platform (the “Exodus Platform”) allows users to store and access their assets in a secure
environment that only they control. On desktop and mobile devices alike, Exodus delivers a simple, elegant, and intuitive experience. By eliminating the geek requirement, Exodus prioritizes ease of use and aims to provide unparalleled user support.
The Exodus Platform supports over 19,000 digital assets, as well as integrations with multiple digital asset-to-digital asset exchanges and other third-party applications, such as MoonPay. We are relentlessly focused
on delivering the best user experience in the digital asset industry.
Our platform is intended to provide the trustworthiness of a bank’s online portal without service windows and clunky interfaces, and the speed of centralized digital asset exchanges without the risk of third-party
custody – we aim to provide our users with the best of both worlds in Exodus.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Exodus has entered into agreements with various third-party application programming interface (“API”) providers, pursuant to which the provider is allowed to integrate its
services into the Exodus Platform for use by users of the Exodus Platform. These integrations are known as APIs, and we earn revenue based on the API fees detailed in the associated API agreements. Most, but not all, of our revenue is earned on a
transactional basis with users of the Exodus Platform accessing the services of the API providers through the API. Certain interactions generate API fees, and we track fees earned on a daily basis. Examples of services provided by API providers
include digital asset-to-digital asset exchanges, fiat-to-digital asset conversions, and digital asset staking.
For transaction-based API fees, the transaction price is allocated per qualified interaction between the provider and the user and is paid by the provider. As each transaction-based API interaction occurs, we realize
revenue. With the majority of our revenue being transaction-based, our revenue can vary significantly based on the type and number of interactions that occur each day. We believe that there will be additional demand for API services in the future as
a greater number of people begin to use digital assets. However, the recent bankruptcies of Celsius Network, Voyager Digital Ltd., Three Arrows Capital, and FTX has led to a decrease in users’ confidence in trading of digital assets and may lead to a
decline in users of the Exodus Platform. Additionally, following these events, third-party services made available through the Exodus Platform have been and may continue to be negatively impacted. Furthermore, the recent enforcement actions against
Gemini, Genesis, Nexo, Kraken, Coinbase, and Binance could cause an interruption in the services provided by third-party exchanges. These events could negatively impact our ability to monetize and generate revenue based on these third-party services.
We anticipate that proceeds from the API fees, if and when recognized as revenue will continue to generate the majority of our revenue for the foreseeable future.
For non-transaction-based API fees, we recognize revenues based on when performance obligations in the underlying contracts have been identified, priced, allocated, and satisfied.
Cost of Revenues
Exodus’ costs of revenues are classified as software development, user support, and security and wallet operations. Depreciation related to cost of revenues and amortization of software assets related to cost of
revenues are also included.
Software Development
Software development expenses represent costs incurred by Exodus for the development of the Exodus Platform, individual API integrations, and our application ecosystem. These include: related salaries and costs,
chargebacks related to fiat onboarding services, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers. Our application ecosystem is still under development, and as a result, we expect to incur continuing software development expenses as we
accelerate improvements to the user experience and functionality of the wallet, integrate new API services, and develop the Exodus ecosystem. Most software development costs are expensed as incurred except for costs associated with internal use
software.
User Support
User support includes related salaries and costs, subscription, and fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, and software or applications used for user support. Exodus views user support as an integral
part of its product offerings and made significant investments in this area. We may continue to make further investments in user support as the development of the Exodus ecosystem continues. User support expenses are expensed as incurred.
Security and Wallet Operations
Security and wallet operations expenses consist of development operations and security related activities. Costs are primarily related salaries and related costs, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers,
and costs related to web hosting and maintaining servers. As the Exodus application ecosystem is still under development, Exodus expects security and wallet operations expenses to increase over the next several years as we accelerate improvements to
the user experience and functionality of the wallet. We continually explore and evaluate ways to make the Exodus Platform and ecosystem more secure. Most costs are expensed as incurred except for costs associated with internal use software.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of software assets.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are classified as general and administrative, advertising and marketing, depreciation related to general and administrative equipment, impairment of digital assets, and gain on sale of digital
assets.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of administrative, compliance, legal, investor relations, financial operations, information technology services, and foreign currency gain or loss. They include related
department salaries, office expenses, meals and entertainment costs, software/applications for operational use, and other general and administrative expenses, including, but not limited to, technology subscriptions, travel, utilities, and vehicle
expenses. These expenses account for a significant portion of our operating expenses. Our general and administrative expenses may increase in the future to support our continued growth, regulatory compliance, and the costs associated with increased
reporting requirements.
Advertising and Marketing
Advertising and marketing expenses include marketing and business development related activities consisting primarily of advertising, corporate marketing, public relations, promotional items, events and conferences and
fees paid for software applications used for advertising and marketing, as well as related department salaries. During the second half of 2022, we resumed our community-based approach to marketing. Advertising and marketing expenses are expensed as
incurred.
Impairment of Digital Assets, net
Impairment of digital assets includes the impairment of digital assets and gain on sale of digital assets.

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $12.4 million compared to $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.6 million or 4%. The decline in total revenue was primarily
driven by a decrease in revenue from the exchange aggregation of $1.0 million due to a decrease in Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”) as well as a decrease in exchange provider processed volume. We are focused on
growing our user base, and we believe that over the long term, interest in digital assets and digital asset markets will increase. However, during any given period we cannot be certain that our user growth efforts will be effective or that interest
in digital assets will increase. Five API providers primarily drove exchange revenue of $10.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to four API providers generating $10.4 million in revenue during the three months ended June
30, 2022.
Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $25.8 million compared to $28.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $2.5 million or 9%. The
decline in total revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue from the exchange aggregation of $3.3 million due to a decrease in MAUs as well as a decrease in exchange provider processed volume. We are focused on growing our user base, and
we believe that over the long term, interest in digital assets and digital asset markets will increase. However, during any given period we cannot be certain that our user growth efforts will be effective or that interest in digital assets will
increase. Five API providers primarily drove exchange revenue of $22.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to five API providers generating $24.9 million in revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Employees and Human Capital Resource Management
Our employees are critical to our mission to ignite an exodus from the traditional finance system by empowering people to secure, manage and use their digital assets. Our key human capital management objectives are to attract, retain and develop
the highest quality talent. To achieve these objectives, our human resources programs are designed to prepare our talent for critical roles and leadership positions for the future; reward and support employees through competitive pay and benefits;
enhance our culture through efforts aimed at making the workplace more engaging and inclusive; and acquire talent and facilitate internal talent mobility to create a high-performing and diverse workforce.

Controls and Procedures
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting. We intend to evaluate quarterly whether such changes in our processes and procedures materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Material Weaknesses
During 2022, management identified errors in its previously reported financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result of the errors that have been
identified, we have identified a material weakness in the Company’s control environment whereby the Company did not design and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting with respect to the expertise and quantity of its resources.
Specifically, management did not effectively execute a strategy to hire, train, and retain a sufficient quantity of personnel with an appropriate level of training, expertise, and experience in certain areas important to financial reporting. In
addition, we also identified a material weakness whereby management did not design and implement effective control activities based on the criteria established in the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations framework. Specifically, the control
activities did not adequately (i) address relevant risks, (ii) provide evidence of performance, (iii) provide appropriate segregation of duties, or (iv) operate at a level of precision to identify all potentially material errors.
Remediation Plan
Management is committed to remediating its material weaknesses as promptly as possible. Management is in the process of implementing its remediation plan. We
have initiated and intend to continue to implement measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate the material weaknesses, including the following:
•
|
We continue to be in the process of adding personnel within our accounting function to allow for further segregation of reporting duties. We are in the process of strengthening
segregation of duties between the preparer and reviewer of controls related to financial accounting and reconciliation. We are also in the process of strengthening segregation of duties between those with access to book journal entries and
those responsible for reviewing journal entries booked.
|
•
|
We have initiated formalizing our internal controls environment and activities and have engaged with a third party consultant to provide professional services to assist management with
Sarbanes Oxley (“SOX”) readiness assistance to help perform a risk assessment and scoping of key systems and business processes, including a risk assessment at the financial statement assertion level to ensure that the level of precision of
relevant controls is adequate to address the identified risks. We will continue to revise our risk assessment and scoping to rectify any deficiencies noted, enhance design and implement new controls if needed, expand education and training
where necessary, update documentation, and add any necessary reviews by our management. We will continue to remediate the design appropriateness of certain specific controls and test the design of the remediated controls.
|
We believe the hiring of accounting personnel and an additional SOX readiness resource and the implementation of processes and controls to better identify and manage segregation of duties will remediate the identified
control activities material weaknesses.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving
the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible
controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Legal and Regulatory Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we
believe we are not currently party to any legal proceedings which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition. We may also
pursue litigation to protect our legal rights and additional litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property and our contractual rights, to protect our confidential information or to determine the validity and scope of
the proprietary rights of others. From time to time, we are also involved in regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business.
Risk Factors
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 1-K/A filing dated May 1,
2023, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our stock.
Geo-Political Risks
In addition, the Company’s business is subject to the risks of catastrophic events, including acts of war or terrorism, strikes or other external events. Any such events or any other geo-political unrest could cause
disruptions in the Company’s business and lead to interruptions, delays, or loss of critical data. Specifically, financial, and digital asset markets may be negatively affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the economic sanctions
imposed by the United States and other countries. The Company currently has 2 FTE and one customer in the affected area that could be directly impacted by the conflict. Although one of the Company’s API providers is domiciled in Ukraine, there is
currently no infrastructure located in Ukraine and none of the API provider’s leadership and development team is located in Ukraine.
Interruptions could have material implications for the Company’s operations and the development of the Exodus Platform or operations and development of applications that run on the Exodus Platform. Retaliatory acts by Russia in response to Western
sanctions may include cyber attacks that could disrupt the economy or that could also either directly or indirectly impact the Company’s operations. Moreover, the ongoing effects of the hostilities and sanctions may spill over to and have a negative
impact on other regional and global markets. It is also likely that the conflict will continue to affect the global political order and regional and global markets for a substantial period of time, regardless of when the conflict itself ends. It is
not currently possible to determine the severity of any potential adverse impact of these events on the financial condition of the Company, or more broadly, upon the global economy, but any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Nature of Operations
Exodus Movement, Inc., incorporated in Delaware in July 2016, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Proper Trust AG, a Swiss corporation, 3ZERO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Osmium,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, “Exodus” or the “Company” or “we”), is a technology company that has
developed the Exodus Platform, an unhosted and self-custodial cryptocurrency software wallet for multiple types of digital assets. The Company has created a self-custodial digital asset wallet (meaning Exodus never has any access to wallet holders’
digital assets) and partnered with third parties to provide various services that utilize our wallet through our digital asset platform. Exodus earns revenue from providers of these services, which include digital asset to digital asset swaps, and
the ability to earn rewards on staked crypto assets. Exodus operates in the blockchain and digital asset industry and users of our products range from people completely unfamiliar to quite familiar with this technology. The Exodus Platform can
currently be downloaded from the exodus.io website, the iOS app store, the Google Play store, and the Chrome Web Store.
Basis of Presentation and Principles for Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. Dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company determines the consolidation for affiliated entities using Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 requires consolidation if the reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in another entity, through voting interests or other means. In March 2020, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary,
Proper Trust AG, based in Zug, Switzerland. In April 2023, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, 3ZERO, LLC, based in the United States. In June 2023, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary Osmium, LLC, based in the United
States.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates are regarding value of digital assets, software
development costs, and revenue recognition. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes that the accounting policies
discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries are recorded in the functional currency and translated into U.S Dollars at exchange rates in effect at the condensed consolidated balance sheet date. Income and
expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. The effects of these translation adjustments are presented in the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.
Fluctuations in the Company’s functional currency from our net investment in the Company’s subsidiaries expose us to foreign currency translation risk, where changes in foreign
currency exchange rates may adversely affect our results of operations upon translation into U.S. Dollars. We recognized a loss on translation adjustments of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023,
respectively, compared to a gain on translation adjustments of $0.1 and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, in foreign currency translation adjustment on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss),
respectively.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes any gain or loss on foreign currency translation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash, money market funds and treasury bills with original maturities of three months or less in which the Company is exposed to market and credit risk.
The Company maintains its cash in deposit accounts which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. There was no balance of cash at licensed crypto currency exchanges as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. There were $4.0 million of treasury
bills included in cash and cash equivalents for both periods as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
U.S. Dollar Coin (“USDC”)
USDC is a stablecoin digital assets that is backed by U.S. dollars or other liquid assets and are accounted for as financial instruments. USDC can be redeemed for one U.S. Dollar on demand from the
issuer. The Company had no USDC for both periods as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
Accounts Receivable
The Company records accounts receivable at the invoiced amount. The Company does not maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables, as the Company
has no history of past due payments or disputes with our current API providers. Accounts receivable was $2.2 million and $1.5 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.
The Company has two types of financial instruments that may be subject to credit risk. The Company maintains bank accounts in which the balances sometimes exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) limit of $250,000. The Company’s receivables have short payment terms and therefore have limited credit risk.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a
global consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has determined that it operates as one operating segment and one reportable segment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial
statements.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is calculated
on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which generally range from 3-5 years for equipment and furniture and 8 years for vehicles. The Company tests its assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate the asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. Any asset deemed to be impaired will have its carrying value and depreciation rates reduced accordingly.
Intangible Assets
Digital Assets
Digital assets are recorded at cost less impairment and are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for
impairment daily when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. To the extent an impairment loss
is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.
Software Development Costs
We apply Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985-20, Software—Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, in analyzing our software development
costs. ASC 985-20 requires the capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility for a software product in development. Software development costs associated with establishing
technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model. Based on our software development process, the working model is almost immediately placed in service. As such,
development costs that meet the criteria for capitalization are not deemed material and are expensed as incurred under ASC 985-20.
We apply ASC 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal Use Software, in the review of certain system projects. These system projects generally relate to software not hosted on our users’
systems, where the user has no access to source code, and it is infeasible for the user to operate the software themselves without Exodus servers in place. In these reviews, all costs incurred during the preliminary project planning stages are
expensed as incurred. Once the projects have been committed to and it is probable that the projects will meet functional requirements, costs are capitalized. These capitalized software costs are amortized on a project-by-project basis over the
expected economic life of the underlying product on a straight-line basis, which is typically three years. Amortization commences when the software is available for its intended use.
We account for website development costs in accordance with ASC 350-50, Website Development Costs. We capitalized internally developed website costs when the website was under development and reached
technological feasibility. We amortized these costs over an estimated life of three years.
Indefinite-Lived Assets
The Company applies ASC 350-30, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill in analyzing our indefinite-lived assets. ASC 350-30 requires that the cost included in the purchase of
indefinite-lived assets, such as our domain name and trademark, should be recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The indefinite-lived assets do not have a definite life, therefore no amortization will be recognized on these assets.
The Company performed an annual impairment review of fair market value of the indefinite-lived assets and impaired assets with fair value less than the carrying value as of June 30, 2023.
Non-Cash Activities Settled In Digital Assets
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had the following non-cash activities settled in digital assets on the statement of cash flows (in thousands):

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following fair
value hierarchy is used in selecting inputs, with the highest priority given to Level 1, as these are the most transparent or reliable:
• |
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
|
• |
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active
markets.
|
• |
Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not observable.
|
Prices may fall within Level 1, 2 or 3 depending upon the methodology and inputs used to estimate fair value for each specific security. In general, securities are priced using third-party pricing
services. Securities not priced by pricing services are submitted to independent brokers for valuation and, if those are not available, internally developed pricing models are used to value assets using a methodology and inputs that market
participants presumably would use to value the assets. Prices obtained from third-party pricing services or brokers are not adjusted.
Our financial assets are summarized below as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, with fair values shown according to the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers to determine the measurement of revenue and the timing of when it is recognized. Under ASC 606, revenue is
measured as the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to, in exchange for transferring products or providing services to our customers and is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of contracts with our customers are
satisfied. ASC 606 prescribes a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers: (1) identify contract(s) with the customer; (2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price;
(4) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.
Exchange Aggregation, Fiat Onboarding, and Staking
The Company recognizes various charges to API providers which are based on user interactions conducted through APIs as revenue. Currently, the Company has API agreements with providers of digital
asset-to-digital asset exchanges, fiat-to-digital asset conversions, and digital asset staking. The Company allows the providers to provide software services, which permit a user of our unhosted and self-custodial cryptocurrency software wallet to
access the services of the provider through the APIs. Under the terms and conditions of the agreements, the Company and the providers have integrated the APIs into the Exodus Platform. In consideration for the integration by the Company of the APIs
into the Exodus Platform software, API providers pay us an API fee for certain user interactions with the API. These interactions are typically transactions of services between provider and a user, effected through the API.
The geography of our user base is not the same as the geography of our API provider base. The following table presents our operating revenues disaggregated by geography, based on the addresses of our
API providers and other revenue sources (in thousands):

For transaction-based API fees, the transaction price is allocated per qualified interaction between the provider and the user. Exchange interactions (from API to the Company to permit the exchange
to be incorporated into our wallet, solely with respect to users of the Exodus wallet) generate API fees, and the Company tracks fees earned on a daily basis. The provider pays 2% of the transaction price to the Company. As each transaction-based API
interaction occurs, we realize revenue. With the majority of our revenue being transaction based, our revenue can vary significantly based on the type and number of interactions that occur each day. The performance obligations are such that the
Company allows the API providers to provide software services which permit a user of Exodus’s unhosted and non-custodial digital asset software wallet to exchange one digital asset for another digital asset (the “Exchange
Services”). The API providers supply an application program interface to permit the Exchange Services to be integrated into the unhosted wallet software (the “Exchange API”). Under the terms and
conditions of the agreements, the Company and the Exchange Providers have integrated the Exchange APIs into the Exodus wallet.
For non-transaction-based API fees, the Company recognizes revenues based on performance obligations in the underlying contracts having been identified, priced, allocated, and satisfied.
The Company has concluded that the contracts do not contain any significant financing components, as either the period between receipt of the funds and the satisfaction of performance obligations is
largely within one year, or much of the transaction consideration is variable, and is not substantially within the control of the parties to the contract.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding performance obligations, therefore there were no contract assets or liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Cost of Revenues
The Company’s costs of revenues are classified as software development, user support, and security and wallet operations. Depreciation related to cost of revenues equipment and amortization of
software assets related to cost of revenues are also included in costs of revenues.
Software Development
Software development expenses represent costs incurred by the Company for the development of the Exodus Platform, individual API integrations, and our application ecosystem. These include: related
salaries and costs, fees paid to consultants, and outside service providers. Most software development costs are expensed as incurred except for costs associated with internal use software.
User Support
User support includes related salaries and costs, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, and software or applications used for user support. User support expenses are expensed as
incurred.
Security and Wallet Operations
Security and wallet operations expenses consist of development operations and security related activities. Costs are primarily related salaries and costs, fees paid to consultants and outside service
providers, and costs related to web hosting and maintaining servers. Most costs are expensed as incurred except for costs associated with internal use software.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of software assets.
Operating Expenses
The Company’s operating expenses are classified as general and administrative, advertising and marketing, depreciation related to general and administrative equipment, impairment of digital assets,
and gain on sale of digital assets.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of administrative, compliance, legal, investor relations, financial operations, information technology, and foreign currency gain or loss. They include
related salaries and costs, office expenses, meals and entertainment costs, software/applications for operational use, and other general and administrative expenses, including but not limited to technology subscriptions, travel, utilities, and
vehicle expenses.
Advertising and marketing expenses include marketing and business development related activities consisting primarily of advertising, corporate marketing, public relations, promotional items, events
and conferences, related salaries, and fees paid for software applications used for advertising and marketing. Advertising and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred.
(Gain) Impairment of Digital Assets, net
(Gain) impairment of digital assets, net includes the impairment of digital assets and gain on sale of digital assets.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the option award and is recognized as expense ratably over the vesting period of the award. The assumptions
used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses
different assumptions, its stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. The Company elected to account for its graded vesting awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Stock-based compensation is recorded in cost of revenues and general and administrative to align this benefit with team member salary expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences
of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at currently enacted tax rates.
These temporary differences primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce a deferred
tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.
The Company recognizes tax liabilities from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will not be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical
merits of the tax position. There are no uncertain tax positions that have been recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is required to file tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various
states and local municipalities. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in operating expenses. The Company paid no penalties during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Earnings per Share
The Company uses the if converted method to calculate earnings per share. Basic net income per share was computed by allocating undistributed earnings to common shares and using the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share was computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and, if dilutive, the potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the
incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options is reflected in diluted earnings per share. All outstanding dilutive securities have been
excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as they are anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents and is computed using the weighted-average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during
the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 excluded common stock equivalents because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive or would decrease the reported loss per share.

The Company purchased the exodus.com domain name in the first quarter of 2021 for $1.9 million. The Company purchased the Exodus Instagram handle during the third quarter of
2021 for $0.1 million and subsequently impaired this asset as of December 31, 2022 as part of our annual impairment review. The Company considers these assets to be indefinite-lived assets so no amortization will be recognized.
Digital Assets
The Company uses Bitcoin and other digital assets in the ordinary course of its business and includes them as digital assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company considers these digital assets to be intangible assets and records them at cost less impairment. Digital assets not directly exchanged from the Company’s U.S.
Dollar holdings are valued based on publicly available pricing data obtained from a well-known pricing service. The Company tracks its digital assets on a first in, first out basis and evaluates daily holdings for impairment. Realized gains or
losses on digital asset transactions are calculated as the difference between the value of the price sold compared to the impaired cost.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded net gain of digital assets of $0.2 million on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income (loss). For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net impairment of digital assets of $12.5 million on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). For the six
months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded net gain of digital assets of $0.6 million on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net
impairment of digital assets of $16.5 million on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Stockholders’ Equity
|
The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. Each share of Class A common
stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share and is convertible into one share of Class A common stock.
In November 2021, the Company authorized a share repurchase program. The plan provides $2.0 million towards redemption of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock at a price up to $55.00 per share. As of
December 31, 2022, the Company has cumulatively repurchased and cancelled 4,778 shares worth $0.1 million on the condensed consolidated financial statements. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Executive Officers repurchased 308 shares. The
share repurchase program expired as of December 31, 2022.
The Company’s Class A common stock is represented by digital Common Stock Tokens that can be viewed through the Exodus Platform. Common Stock Tokens are not shares of Class A
common stock; rather, they are digital representations of the number of shares purchased and held by a given stockholder. In September 2021, Common Stock Tokens began trading on tZERO ATS (“tZERO”), the
regulated alternative trading system and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) member broker-dealer subsidiary of tZERO, a leader in blockchain innovation and liquidity for digital assets. In
March 2022, Common Stock Tokens also began trading on Securitize Markets, LLC, a regulated alternative trading system and FINRA member broker-dealer subsidiary of Securitize, Inc. Both the Company’s transfer agent, Securitize LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“Transfer Agent”), and tZERO have the ability to support trades of our Class A common stock and transfers of our Common Stock Tokens.
Stock-Based Compensation
Options and Equity Grants Issued
The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan adopted in September 2019 (the “2019 Plan”) permitted the Company to grant non-statutory stock options,
incentive stock options and other equity awards to Exodus team members, directors and consultants. The exercise price for options issued under the 2019 Plan is determined by the board of directors, but will be (i) in the case of an incentive
stock option granted to an employee or consultant who owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of Exodus, no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant; or (ii) granted to any
other employee or consultant, no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. The contractual life for all options issued under the 2019 Plan is 10 years. The 2019 Plan authorized grants to issue up to 3,000,000 options
(prior to the 2021 Employee Equity Redemption Plan) that are convertible into shares of authorized but unissued Class B common stock. As of June 30, 2023, there were 2,176,718 shares of Class B common stock options outstanding.
In August 2021, the Company also adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan permits the Company to grant
non-statutory stock options, incentive stock options and other equity awards, such as restricted stock awards, to Exodus team members, directors, and consultants. The exercise price for options issued under the 2021 Plan is determined by the
board of directors, but will be (i) in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee who owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of Exodus, no less than 110% of the fair market value per
share on the date of grant; or (ii) granted to any other employee or consultant, no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. The contractual life for all options issued under the 2021 Plan is 10 years. The 2021 Plan
initially authorized grants to issue up to 2,780,000 awards that are convertible into shares of authorized but unissued Class A common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Plan, the Company may increase our share pool by 5% of our total
shares of capital stock each year. In 2022, the total shares of our Class A common stock reserved for issuance increased by 1,875,000 shares for a total of 4,655,000 shares of Class A common stock reserved under the 2021 Plan. As of June 30,
2023, there were 3,384,793 restricted stock units that are authorized and outstanding with a fair value of $10.2 million and 479 restricted stock units were vested but not yet issued.
Upon the approval of the 2021 Plan, the Company can no longer grant non-statutory stock options, incentives stock options or other equity awards to Exodus employees,
directors or consultants under the 2019 Plan.
Terms of our share-based compensation are governed by the plan in which options were issued.
Options Valuation
We calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation awards granted to employees and non-employees using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. If we determine that
other methods are more reasonable, or other methods for calculating these assumptions are prescribed by regulators, the fair value calculated for our stock options could change significantly. Higher volatility and longer expected lives would
result in an increase to stock-based compensation expense to non-employees determined at the date of grant.
The material factors incorporated in the Black-Scholes model in estimating the fair value of the options granted for the periods presented were as follows:
• |
Expected dividend yield. The expected dividend is assumed to be zero as we have never paid dividends and have no current plans to pay any dividends on our common stock.
|
• |
Expected stock-price volatility. The expected volatility is derived from the average historical volatilities of publicly traded companies within our industry that we
consider to be comparable over a period approximately equal to the expected term.
|
• |
Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for zero coupon U.S. Treasury notes with
maturities approximately equal to the expected term.
|
• |
Expected term. The expected term represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. Our historical share option exercise experience does
not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate an expected term because of a lack of sufficient data. Therefore, we estimate the expected term by using the simplified method provided by the SEC. The simplified method calculates the
expected term as the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options.
|
• |
Fair value per share. The fair value per share is the fair price or theoretical value for a call or a put option based on six variables such as volatility, type of
option, underlying stock price, time, strike price, and risk-free rate.
|
We will continue to use judgment in evaluating the expected volatility and expected terms utilized for our stock-based compensation calculations on a prospective basis. The following table
summarizes stock option activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Income Taxes
|
At the end of each interim period, the Company records income taxes by applying an estimated annualized effective tax rate to the current period income or loss before income taxes. The Company's
annualized effective tax rate is based on pre-tax earnings, enacted U.S. statutory tax rates, non-deductible expenses, certain tax rate differences between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, and specific events that are discretely recognized
entirely within the interim period in which they occur. The Company’s foreign subsidiary files an income tax return in Switzerland.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.9 million and an income tax benefit of $5.1 million, on pre-tax income of approximately $3.5
million and pre-tax loss of $23.3 million, resulting in effective tax rates of 24.2% and 20.2%, respectively.
The six months ended June 30, 2023 effective tax rate was primarily impacted by the change in permanent differences and discrete items, including the tax effect of digital asset gains and losses,
specifically recognized in the period. The six months ended June 30, 2022 effective tax rate was primarily impacted by the change in permanent differences and discrete items, including the tax effect of digital asset gains and losses,
specifically recognized in the period.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will be
realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management no longer believes it is likely that the
deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established for $4.8 million as of December 31, 2022 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company has identified $0.4 million of uncertain tax positions requiring a reserve as of December 31, 2022.

Legal Proceedings
|
During the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to threatened or actual legal proceedings. The outcome of any such proceedings cannot be predicted with
certainty. As of the date of this form, the Company was not engaged in legal proceedings that are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on the Company.
