Insights

Cango's Q4 and full-year 2024 results represent a dramatic financial turnaround driven by its strategic pivot into Bitcoin mining. The company transformed from a RMB103.8 million loss in Q4 2023 to a RMB55.9 million profit in Q4 2024, while full-year results swung from a RMB37.9 million loss to a RMB299.8 million profit.

The Bitcoin mining operation, launched just in November 2024, has rapidly become Cango's primary revenue driver, generating RMB653 million (US$89.5 million) in Q4 alone - representing 97.8% of total quarterly revenue. This business transformation catalyzed a 413% year-over-year revenue increase in Q4.

With 933.8 Bitcoins mined in Q4 at an average cost of US$67,769.9 per Bitcoin (excluding depreciation), Cango has established itself as the third-largest Bitcoin miner globally with 32 EH of mining power. The company aims to expand to 50 EH by the end of Q1 2025.

While the automotive business has contracted significantly (automotive trading income fell to just RMB15 million in Q4 2024 from RMB130.2 million in Q4 2023), the company maintains a strong balance sheet with RMB2.5 billion (US$345.3 million) in cash and short-term investments. This capital position supports Cango's continued expansion in the capital-intensive mining sector.

Cango's rapid ascension to become the third-largest Bitcoin miner globally represents a remarkable execution of strategic transformation. In just two months of operation, the company has deployed 32 EH of hashrate - approximately 6-7% of Bitcoin's total network hashrate based on current network statistics.

The mining economics are particularly notable. Cango's reported cost of US$67,769.9 per Bitcoin (excluding depreciation) indicates reasonably competitive operational efficiency compared to industry standards, especially for a new entrant. However, this cost metric excludes depreciation of mining machines, which typically represents a significant portion of all-in mining costs.

Their announced expansion to 50 EH by end of Q1 2025 would represent a 56% increase in hashrate capacity. This aggressive growth trajectory, if achieved, would further cement Cango's position among the Bitcoin mining elite and potentially improve economies of scale. The timing aligns strategically with Bitcoin's recent halving cycle, when efficient operations with scale advantages typically outperform.

The US$400 million mining machine acquisition demonstrates substantial capital commitment to this new business direction. The company's strategy appears to focus on rapid deployment and scale acquisition rather than gradual organic growth - a high-risk, high-reward approach in the volatile cryptocurrency mining sector. While currently profitable, Cango's mining operation remains exposed to Bitcoin price volatility and network difficulty adjustments.

SHANGHAI, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) ("Cango" or the "Company"), a leading Bitcoin mining company with an automotive transaction service in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial and Operational Highlights

  • Total revenues were RMB668.0 million (US$91.5 million), a substantial increase from RMB130.2 million in the same period of 2023. This surge was primarily attributable to the launch of our Bitcoin mining business in November 2024, which generated RMB653.0 million (US$89.5 million) in the quarter.

  • A total of 933.8 Bitcoins were mined during the quarter. The average cost to mine Bitcoin, excluding depreciation of mining machines, was US$67,769.9 per Bitcoin in the quarter.

Mr. Jiayuan Lin, Chief Executive Officer of Cango, commented, "2024 was a milestone year for Cango, marking another pivotal transformation and growth phase for the Company. While we continued to develop our traditional automotive business, we also capitalized on the growing opportunities in the cryptocurrencies sector and strategically expanded into Bitcoin mining. In early November 2024, we announced our acquisition of on-rack Bitcoin mining machines with an aggregate hashrate of 50 exahashes (EH) for a total purchase price of US$400 million. By November 15, we had taken delivery of 32 EH of mining power, making us the third-largest Bitcoin miner globally. In just two months, our Bitcoin mining business generated revenues of RMB653.0 million, with a total of 933.8 Bitcoins mined as of the end of 2024."

"Driven by the Bitcoin mining business' initial success, Cango recorded total revenues of RMB668 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a year-over-year surge of over 400%. Given this field's immense growth potential, we have refined our transformation efforts and placed "Energy + Computing Power" at the core of our future development strategy. Meanwhile, we will maintain a strong focus on our used car exporting business, aiming to become a leading asset-light gateway for China's used car exports. Looking ahead to 2025, leveraging our solid foundation in the cryptocurrencies sector, we are strategically positioning ourselves for further expansion across the digital economy value chain, creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders," concluded Mr. Lin.

Mr. Yongyi Zhang, Chief Financial Officer of Cango, stated, "We are pleased to close 2024 with strong financial performance, driven by our strategic entry into the Bitcoin mining business. In 2024, we achieved a net income of RMB 299.8 million, marking a turnaround from the net loss recorded in 2023. Building on the solid foundation we have established in the Bitcoin mining business, we will continue to assess and pursue new opportunities to expand our capacity while prioritizing cost-effective and environmentally sustainable energy solutions to optimize our cost structure. As we move into 2025, we are confident that Cango is well-positioned to embark on its next phase of growth."

Definition of Overdue Ratios

The Company defines "M1+ overdue ratio" as (i) exposure at risk relating to financing transactions for which any installment payment is 30 to 179 calendar days past due as of a specified date, divided by (ii) exposure at risk relating to all financing transactions which remain outstanding as of such date, excluding amounts of outstanding principal that are 180 calendar days or more past due.

The Company defines "M3+ overdue ratio" as (i) exposure at risk relating to financing transactions for which any installment payment is 90 to 179 calendar days past due as of a specified date, divided by (ii) exposure at risk relating to all financing transactions which remain outstanding as of such date, excluding amounts of outstanding principal that are 180 calendar days or more past due.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss), a Non-GAAP measure, as a supplemental measure to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of the Non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company presents the Non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) enables the management to assess the Company's operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges. The Company also believes that the use of the Non-GAAP measure facilitates investors' assessment of its operating performance.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This Non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) is that it does not reflect all items of expense that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and are not reflected in the presentation of Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss). Further, the Non-GAAP measure may differ from the Non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

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.
