SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intchains Group Limited (Nasdaq: ICG) (“we,” or the “Company”), a provider of integrated solutions consisting of high-performance computing ASIC chips and ancillary software and hardware for blockchain applications, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Operating and Financial Highlights

  • Sales volume of ASIC chips was 371,423 units for the second quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 65.3% from 1,071,845 units for the same period of 2022.
  • Revenue was RMB13.9 million (US$1.9 million) for the second quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 91.3% from RMB159.4 million for the same period of 2022.
  • Net loss was RMB20.5 million (US$2.8 million) for the second quarter of 2023, compared with a net income of RMB117.6 million for the same period of 2022.

Mr. Qiang Ding, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In the second quarter of 2023, the blockchain industry began a gradual recovery. Continued expansion of the technology’s application scenarios demonstrated its sustainable growth potential, which further bolstered investor confidence. Simultaneously, the ongoing evolution of blockchain technology unlocked vast new opportunities across a multitude of industries. As a fast-growing company and provider of high-performance computing ASIC chips and related software and hardware, our goal is to build Intchains into a leading Web 3.0 infrastructure provider. To progress to the next stage of this journey, we have been proactively exploring downstream growth opportunities to accelerate our product offering expansion beyond ASIC chips. Moving forward, we will continue to innovate and iterate advanced hardware and software for Web 3.0 application scenarios as we broaden our services throughout the industry value chain and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the Web 3.0 industry as a whole.”

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue

Revenue was RMB13.9 million (US$1.9 million) for the second quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 91.3% from RMB159.4 million for the same period of 2022. The decrease was mainly due to the challenging cryptocurrency market despite recent signs of recovery, which resulted in decreases in the sales volume and average selling price of our ASIC chips that were primarily used in cryptocurrency mining machines.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue was RMB30.7 million (US$4.2 million) for the second quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 7.5% from RMB28.6 million for the same period of 2022. The increase was mainly attributable to an inventory write-down of RMB22.5 million, partially offset by the decrease in sales volume of our ASIC chips.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were RMB17.3 million (US$2.4 million) for the second quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 2.1% from RMB17.7 million for the same period of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in research and development expenses, partially offset by the increases in sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.

  • Research and development expenses decreased by 37.8% to RMB9.0 million (US$1.2 million) for the second quarter of 2023 from RMB14.4 million for the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the different stages our research and development projects were in during the respective periods.
  • Sales and marketing expenses increased by 124.3% to RMB1.3 million (US$0.2 million) for the second quarter of 2023 from RMB0.6 million for the same period of 2022, mainly due to an increase in personnel-related expenses.
  • General and administrative expenses increased by 164.2% to RMB7.1 million (US$1.0 million) for the second quarter of 2023 from RMB2.7 million for the same period of 2022, primarily due to an increase in labor cost and professional expenses, partially offset by a decrease in tax surcharges.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by 66.3% to RMB4.4 million (US$0.6 million) for the second quarter of 2023 from RMB2.6 million for the same period of 2022, mainly attributable to the increase in our cash balance, which is a result of our effective fund management and the proceeds generated from our initial public offering.

Other Income

Our other income decreased by 85.0% to RMB0.3 million (US$0.04 million) for the second quarter of 2023 from RMB2.0 million for the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in grants we received from local government. The government grants were granted to us to support qualified IC industry projects with no repayment obligations.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a net loss of RMB20.5 million (US$2.8 million) for the second quarter of 2023, compared with a net income of RMB117.6 million for the same period of 2022.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Ordinary Share

Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share were RMB0.17 (US$0.02) for the second quarter of 2023, compared with basic and diluted net earnings per ordinary share of RMB1.00 for the same period of 2022. Each ADS represents two of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares.

Recent Developments

In June 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an office building for approximately RMB44.5 million. This building is located in Shanghai’s Lingang New Area, Pilot Free Trade Zone and will serve as the Company’s R&D headquarter. We believe this well-equipped and advanced R&D facility will not only facilitate the continued iteration of our existing products and the development of our new generation of ASIC chips, but also enhance the Company’s market competitiveness in the long run. All funds for this purchase will come from the Company’s balance sheet and will not affect our normal operations.
