Dow Jones06:00

DALLAS, Texas, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cango Inc. $(CANG)$ ("Cango" or the "Company"), a leading Bitcoin miner leveraging its global operations to develop an integrated energy and AI compute platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Full year and Fourth Quarter of 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights

   -- Financial Performance: Total revenues were $688.1 million in the full 
      year of 2025 (including US$179.5 million in the fourth quarter). Revenue 
      from the bitcoin mining business was US$675.5 million for the year 
      (US$172.4 million in the fourth quarter). Adjusted EBITDA for the full 
      year was US$24.5 million, while the fourth quarter recorded an adjusted 
      EBITDA of US$-156.3 million. 
 
   -- Mining Operations and Costs: A total of 6,594.6 Bitcoins were mined over 
      the year, averaging 18.07 Bitcoins per day, of which 1,718.3 Bitcoins 
      were mined in the fourth quarter (averaging 18.68 Bitcoins per day). For 
      the full year, the average cost to mine, excluding depreciation of mining 
      machines, was US$79,707 per Bitcoin (US$84,552 per Bitcoin in the fourth 
      quarter), with all-in costs of US$97,272 per Bitcoin (US$106,251 per 
      Bitcoin in the fourth quarter). As of the end of December 2025, the 
      Company had mined 7,528.4 Bitcoins since entering the bitcoin mining 
      industry. 
 
   -- Strategic Milestone: The Company completed the termination of its ADR 
      program and transitioned to a direct listing on the NYSE to enhance its 
      corporate transparency, and align with its strategic focus, potentially 
      broadening its investor base over time. 

Mr. Paul Yu, Chief Executive Officer of Cango, said, "2025 marked our inaugural year as a Bitcoin miner, defined by swift execution. We initiated a comprehensive asset restructuring and successfully established a globally distributed mining footprint. Furthermore, we appointed a new senior management team, bolstering our expertise and competitive edge in digital-assets and energy infrastructure. The completion of our direct NYSE listing and shift to U.S. dollar reporting further reflect our evolution into a global AI infrastructure company."

"Entering 2026, we proactively strengthened our balance sheet and optimized our mining fleet to enhance efficiency and cost resilience. Concurrently, we are advancing our pivot to become an AI infrastructure provider. Through EcoHash, we are leveraging our core expertise in scalable computing and energy networks to deliver flexible, cost-effective AI inference solutions. With initial site retrofits underway and products in development, we are well positioned to execute with focus and strategic discipline in the new era."

Mr. Michael Zhang, Chief Financial Officer of Cango, stated, "In 2025, we delivered significant revenue growth, driven by our scaled Bitcoin mining operations. We recorded a net loss from continuing operations of US$452.8 million, primarily due to non-recurring transformation costs and market-driven fair-value adjustments. Our financial strategy is focused on optimizing our balance sheet to reduce leverage via an adjusted Bitcoin treasury policy and liquidity management, while securing new capital infusions to bolster our capital base, which will provide the financial flexibility needed to navigate volatility and invest in high-potential areas like AI infrastructure."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

As part of our review of business performance, we present adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP financial measure to help assess our core operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, impairment, results from discontinued operations and further excludes share-based compensation expenses and other non-operating income and expenses. We believe adjusted EBITDA can be an important financial measure because it allows management, investors, and our board of directors to evaluate and compare our operating results, including our return on capital and operating efficiency from period-to-period by making such adjustments.

While adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined under U.S. GAAP, management uses it to evaluate performance, make strategic decisions, and set operating plans. Management believes it also helps investors gain a clearer understanding of our underlying performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that management believes are not indicative of its core operating results. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results or guidance prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Reconciliations of Cango's non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.
