Singapore, November 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) (“Canaan” or the “Company”), an innovator in compute and energy infrastructure, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 and Recent Operating and Financial Highlights

Nangeng Zhang, chairman, and chief executive officer of Canaan, commented, “Despite continued weakness in bitcoin mining equipment demand and intense industry pricing competition, we delivered US$14.5 million in Q3 revenue, near the upper end of our guidance range. Mining equipment sales contributed US$4.8 million, with 1.0 million TH/s of computing power sold, while our mining operations generated US$9.5 million and produced 133 bitcoins. As of September 30, 2026, our crypto treasury stood at approximately 1,875 BTC. We maintained our long-term digital asset holding strategy while adopting a more flexible capital allocation approach, selectively monetizing cryptocurrency holdings to fund share repurchases and enhance shareholder value.

Note 1: Defined as the total number of bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies owned by the Company on its Balance Sheet, including any bitcoins receivable, excluding bitcoins that the Company has received as customer deposits.

“More importantly, we made tangible progress in our transformation toward energy and computing infrastructure. Our 1 GW large-load project in Duval County, Texas, received a conditional Studied Load – Firm classification under ERCOT’s Batch Zero process, marking a meaningful milestone in the grid connection process, subject to further studies and approvals. We are also advancing another 1 GW power resource project in Zapata County, Texas, which is currently in early-stage development and preparation for grid connection studies. Together, these projects reflect our growing power resource pipeline and our ability to capitalize on large-scale energy infrastructure opportunities in North America.

“Looking ahead, we remain focused on two complementary priorities: expanding our access to cost-advantaged power resources for mining and compute infrastructure, while maintaining our core mining hardware technology and bitcoin mining capabilities through disciplined, commercially driven investment. We will align future R&D, production, and mining investments with market demand and project economics, while pursuing capital-efficient partnerships in infrastructure development. Drawing on our experience in mining operations and flexible power management, we are also exploring energy-reuse applications with potential efficiency and environmental benefits. We believe these efforts position Canaan to pursue emerging opportunities at the intersection of computing and energy, with capital discipline and long-term value creation guiding our decisions.”

Jin “James” Cheng, chief financial officer of Canaan, stated, “Our Q3 performance reflected financial discipline and operational agility in a challenging market. Despite continued pricing pressure from the industry’s supply-demand imbalance, we met our revenue expectations while maintaining lean inventory and carefully managing expenditures. By aligning production with actual orders and managing existing stock, we limited inventory-related non-cash write-downs to approximately US$8.2 million, down from US$25.3 million in Q2. Our mining operations achieved a gross margin of approximately 30% before depreciation, supported by competitive electricity costs and operating efficiency. Meanwhile, the recovery in bitcoin prices toward quarter-end generated a US$51.9 million fair value gain on our cryptocurrency holdings, contributing to GAAP net income of US$8.0 million. We recognize that this non-cash gain is distinct from underlying operating performance.

“We also took concrete financial steps to support the meaningful progress in our power infrastructure development. During Q3, we provided US$50 million in restricted cash as collateral for a letter of credit supporting certain long-term infrastructure-related contractual arrangements, alongside project prepayments of approximately US$3.3 million. In October, we completed an approximately US$1.1 million power-related land purchase in the United States. These investments reflect our transition from early-stage resource evaluation toward tangible project development, while we continue to carefully manage capital commitments and project risks.

“Looking ahead, we will maintain a disciplined approach to operating expenses, R&D spending, and capital allocation. Our priority is to support Canaan’s strategic transformation through capital-efficient development models and partnerships, while balancing liquidity needs, investments with attractive long-term economics, and shareholder returns. Our new US$20 million share repurchase program, launched under the Board’s US$100 million authorization approved on November 6, 2026, reflects our confidence in Canaan’s strategic transformation and long-term prospects, as well as our commitment to enhancing shareholder value while maintaining financial flexibility.”

Recent Developments

Land Acquisition to Support Power Infrastructure Development

In October 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of a parcel of land in the United States for approximately US$1.1 million. This acquisition represents a significant step in advancing Canaan’s long-term power and compute infrastructure strategy, laying the groundwork for potential future development. The Company will continue to evaluate development opportunities based on power availability, project economics, and applicable regulatory requirements.

New US$20 Million Share Repurchase Program Under US$100 Million Board Authorization

On November 6, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved a new share repurchase authorization of up to US$100 million over a 12-month period from November 6, 2026. Under this authorization, the Company is launching an initial share repurchase program of up to US$20 million of its outstanding ADSs or Class A ordinary shares, while retaining the flexibility to pursue additional repurchases within the overall authorized amount.

Management believes that Canaan’s current market valuation does not fully reflect its long-term potential and views share repurchases as an important capital allocation priority. As additional funds become available, the Company intends to pursue share repurchases more actively, while ensuring sufficient liquidity for ongoing operations and committed projects. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open-market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or other legally permissible means, subject to market conditions, applicable regulatory requirements and the Company’s capital allocation priorities. The program reflects management’s confidence in Canaan’s strategic transformation and long-term prospects, as well as its commitment to disciplined capital allocation and enhancing shareholder value.

Planned ADS Ratio Change

The Company plans to implement a change in the ratio of its ADSs to Class A ordinary shares from one ADS representing 15 Class A ordinary shares to one ADS representing 375 Class A ordinary shares, equivalent to a 1-for-25 reverse ADS split, under which every 25 existing ADSs would be consolidated into one new ADS. The Company anticipates that the change in the ADS ratio will be effective on or about December 4, 2026 (U.S. Eastern Time) (the “Effective Date”).

The proposed adjustment is intended to support the Company’s efforts to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement and potentially broaden its institutional investor base by addressing certain share price-related investment restrictions. The change would not affect the Company’s underlying ordinary shares outstanding or shareholders’ proportional ownership interests, except for adjustments related to fractional ADSs. Further implementation details will be announced in due course.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2026, the Company expects total revenues to be in the range of US$18 million to US$22 million, reflecting the near-term market conditions and evolving customer dynamics, which are subject to change.  

The Company will continue to closely monitor the global policy environment and market developments, and may revise or update its outlook as appropriate, based on future clarity and business visibility.

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 (benefit) expenses, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, share-based compensation expenses, impairment on property, equipment and software, change in fair value of financial instruments other than derivatives 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.
