Ebang International Reports Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2021

April 29, 2022

HANGZHOU, China, April 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ebang International Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: EBON, the “Company,” “we” or “our”), a global blockchain technology company, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Operational and Financial Highlights for Fiscal Year 2021

Total computing power sold in fiscal year 2021 was 1.50 million Thash/s, representing a year-over-year increase of 200% from 0.50 million Thash/s in fiscal year 2020.

Total net revenues in fiscal year 2021 were US$51.45 million representing an 170.73% year-over-year increase from US$19.00 million in fiscal year 2020.

Gross profit in fiscal year 2021 was US$29.22 million compared to the gross loss of US$2.90 million in fiscal year 2020.

Net income in fiscal year 2021 was US$2.77 million compared to net loss of US$32.11 million in fiscal year 2020.

Mr. Dong Hu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “2021 was a challenging year for us due to raw material supplies shortages as a result of supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The achievement of sales growth is contributed to the efforts of our professional research and development team, who optimized the hardware structure of our products and designed a new framework with limited resources. 2021 was also an exciting year for us as we made considerable progress in connecting with the upstream and downstream markets of blockchain financial services. For example, we have completed initial preparations for our global business development, including but not limited to setting up a legal structure, building a professional team, initiating product development, and obtaining or seeking to obtain licenses or authorizations in the countries and regions into which we are expanding. Moreover, we officially launched Ebonex, our self-developed digital assets trading platform, which is designed to provide secure, fast, efficient, and stable trading services in multiple currencies and modes to a global audience. Our goal is for Ebonex to become one of the premier markets in the cryptocurrency space and become a trusted platform for its users.”

Mr. Hu continued, “We made outstanding achievements in 2021. We recruited many talents from various professional fields to join us and expand our teams, which allowed us to develop and increase the scale of our business efficiently. Despite the market turmoil across the world, investors have shown their interest in the cryptocurrency industry, and we remain confident in our business and the blockchain industry. Our objective is to drive our products and services further into the entire market ecosystem to help propel this industry forward.”

Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2021

Total net revenues in fiscal year 2021 were US$51.45 million representing an 170.73% year-over-year increase from US$19.00 million in fiscal year 2020. The year-over-year increase in total net revenues was primarily due to, among others, the continued fluctuation of the Bitcoin price in the high range in 2021, which has driven the enthusiasm and attention of investors. However, our chip suppliers have reduced their production capacity due to the impact of COVID-19, resulting in our inability to produce at full capacity, insufficient inventory and inability to meet the market demand. With limited raw materials, we optimized the hardware structure, used a new framework and launched new models, which accelerated the sales growth.

Cost of revenues in fiscal year 2021 was US$22.23 million representing an 1.47% year-over-year increase from US$21.90 million in fiscal year 2020. The year-over-year increase in cost of revenues was primarily because we have been able to utilize some of the slow-moving inventories impaired in previous years to manufacture products sold in 2021 as a result of our hardware optimization.

Gross profit in fiscal year 2021 was US$29.22 million compared to the gross loss of US$2.90 million in fiscal year 2020.

Total operating expenses in fiscal year 2021 were US$27.19 million compared to US$23.75 million in fiscal year 2020.

  • Selling expenses in fiscal year 2021 were US$1.42 million compared to US$0.93 million in fiscal year 2020. The year-over-year increase in selling expenses was in line with the increase in the Company’s sales.
  • General and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2021 were US$25.77 million compared to US$22.82 million in fiscal year 2020. The year-over-year increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increase in overseas expansion.

Income from operations in fiscal year 2021 was US$2.03 million compared to loss from operations of US$26.65 million in fiscal year 2020.

Interest income in fiscal year 2021 was US$1.78 million compared to US$0.82 million in fiscal year 2020. The year-over-year increase in interest income was primarily due to the interest income from our investments in time deposit and financing products in 2021.

Government grants in fiscal year 2021 were US$0.44 million compared to US$4.01 million in fiscal year 2020. The year-over-year decrease in government grants was primarily due to the decrease of non-recurring rebates from local government.

Net income in fiscal year 2021 was US$2.77 million compared to net loss of US$32.11 million in fiscal year 2020.

Net income attributable to Ebang International Holdings Inc. in fiscal year 2021 was US$4.43 million compared to net loss attributable to Ebang International Holdings Inc. of US$30.68 million in fiscal year 2020.

Basic and diluted net income per shares in fiscal year 2021 was US$0.02 compared to basic and diluted net loss per shares of US$0.25 in fiscal year 2020.

Cash and cash equivalents were US$239.87 million as of December 31, 2021, compared with US$13.67 million as of December 31, 2020.
