Nangeng Zhang, chairman, and chief executive officer of Canaan, commented, “We closed out 2024 on a strong note, delivering robust results in the fourth quarter that exceeded our guidance, with total revenue reaching US$88.8 million. This outstanding top-line performance was primarily driven by the large-scale delivery of our latest A15 series, which contributed to a record-breaking 9.1 million TH/s in total computing power sold. Simultaneously, our mining operations capitalized on the favorable bitcoin price environment in Q4, achieving a remarkable 186 bitcoins mined and generating US$15.3 million in mining revenue, marking a sequential increase of 70.7%. Recently, we further expanded 4.7EH/s for our mining operations in North America through two new projects in Pennsylvania and Texas.
“Looking back on the past year, we remained steadfast in our commitment to delivering high-quality, customized mining solutions, such as our high-performance A15 series and the dual-function Avalon Home Series, catering to a diverse global customer base. In key markets like North America, we strengthened our local presence and established strategic partnerships with leading publicly listed mining companies, enhancing our brand recognition and market share. Despite navigating complex regulatory landscapes and shifting market conditions, we made significant progress in expanding our mining hash rate toward our goal of 10EH/s in North America and 15EH/s globally by mid-2025. Meanwhile, we continued to advance our global strategy across research and development, supply chains, production, and logistics to adapt to the evolving compliance environment. With unwavering confidence in Bitcoin‘s long-term potential, we remain dedicated to innovation, operational excellence, and cementing our role as a key player in the Bitcoin ecosystem.”
Jin “James” Cheng, chief financial officer of Canaan, stated, “We achieved excellent results in Q4, with total revenue significantly surpassing our guidance. This exceptional performance was driven by the ramp-up in A15 series bulk deliveries, leading to products revenue of US$73.5 million, a 63.6% year-over-year increase. Our mining business, which serves as our second growth engine, generated US$15.3 million in revenue, up 312.5% year-over-year and 70.7% quarter-over-quarter, while maintaining a highly competitive all-in power cost. This enabled us to accelerate our bitcoin accumulation through mining by leveraging bitcoin price tailwinds in the fourth quarter. As a result, our owned cryptocurrency reached 1,292.5 bitcoins by year-end, reinforcing our financial position. Additionally, due to strong top-line growth and cost optimization, we significantly narrowed our gross loss to US$6.4 million. Although certain non-cash items hit our bottom line, our net loss of US$92.9 million narrowed 33.2% year-over-year, and we achieved EBITDA breakeven and a gain of US$19.3 million in adjusted EBITDA for the quarter.
“The large-scale production and delivery of the A15 series contributed to our cash inflows and optimized our inventory structure as the model became our primary inventory component. As bitcoin prices climbed in Q4, generating fair value gains, our balance sheet was further strengthened, underscoring the advantages of our mining business and our HODL strategy. Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing advanced product deliveries, expanding our mining hash rate, and capitalizing on the anticipated market momentum to enhance our market presence.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating Canaan’s business, the Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding income tax expenses (benefit), interest income, depreciation and amortization expenses, share-based compensation expenses, impairment on property, equipment and software, change in fair value of financial instruments and excess of fair value of Convertible Preferred Shares. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company’s results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash flows data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. One of the key limitations of using adjusted EBITDA is that it does not reflect all of the items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.
