Cango Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results

DALLAS , Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) ("Cango" or the "Company") today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights

  • Total revenues were US$224.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 60.6% compared with the second quarter of 2025. Revenue from the bitcoin mining business in the third quarter of 2025 was US$220.9 million.
  • Operating income was US$43.5 million and net income was US$37.3 million over the period. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 was US$80.1 million.
  • Average operating hashrate increased steadily from 40.91 EH/s in July to 44.85 EH/s in September and further improved to 46.09 EH/s in October, with efficiency surpassing 90%. This was primarily due to mining facility relocations, operational enhancements and miner hardware upgrades.
  • A total of 1,930.8 BTC was mined over the third quarter, averaging 21.0 BTC per day, up 37.5% in total output and 36.0% in daily production compared with the second quarter of 2025. Average cost to mine, excluding depreciation of mining machines, was US$81,072 per BTC, with all-in costs of US$99,383 per BTC. As of the end of September 2025, the Company had mined 5,810 BTC since entering the bitcoin mining industry.
  • The Company completed the termination of its ADR program and transitioned to a direct listing on the NYSE to optimize its capital structure, enhance corporate transparency, and align with its strategic focus.

Mr. Paul Yu, Chief Executive Officer of Cango, said, "This quarter marks a significant milestone. It's been one year since our strategic transformation into a bitcoin miner. During the third quarter, we remained focused on our core mining operations, further strengthening Cango's position as a scaled and operationally disciplined bitcoin miner. Today, we operate a deployed hashrate of 50 EH/s globally, positioning us among the leading miners worldwide. In the third quarter, we mined 1,930.8 BTC, with an average daily production of 21.0 BTC.

"While consolidating our core business, we also clarified our long-term strategy: building a global, distributed AI compute network powered by green energy. We view bitcoin mining as the practical on-ramp toward our energy and compute ambitions, following the sequence of 'from bitcoin mining to energy access, and from operational depth to AI compute deployment.' In the third quarter, we executed our phased roadmap with strict financial discipline, launching small-scale pilots with clear technical and IRR thresholds across both energy and AI compute. Our energy projects in Oman and Indonesia are now underway and are expected to be commissioned within the next one to two years, providing strategic support for subsequent AI infrastructure development. In the near term, we will continue to closely monitor market dynamics, manage our deployed output, and explore partnership models to mitigate market risks and enhance operating stability."

Mr. Michael Zhang, Chief Financial Officer of Cango, stated, "This was a standout quarter. Total revenues in the third quarter of 2025 were US$224.6 million, up 60.6% compared with the second quarter of 2025. We recorded operating income of US$43.5 million and a net income of US$37.3 million in the third quarter of 2025. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of US$44.9 million. Going forward, we believe our balance sheet strength allows for a healthy and sustainable AI transition, enabling us to scale according to the compute roadmap we presented."

Roadmap Forward

With the AI pilot projects underway, the Company's roadmap going forward now has greater granularity and will be executed in three sequential phases.

  • Near term: Enter the market with GPU computing power leasing, focusing on rapid node deployment and model validation. The company will serve compute platforms and AI startups with an asset-light, pure‑play connectivity model that handles no customer data or apps, builds trust, and supports rapid scaling.
  • Medium term: Evolve into a regional AI compute network by establishing self‑operated data center hubs that offer greater control over energy and infrastructure. Cango will transition from selling raw compute to offering stable, low‑latency inference services under mid‑ to long‑term contracts that target mid‑sized technology firms and regional leaders to build service moats.
  • Long term: Build a global, distributed AI compute grid powered by green energy, integrating multiple hubs and edge nodes for seamless, scalable capacity. The model will offer multi‑year capacity contracts with elastic compute options, positioning Cango as a utility-like provider of AI compute for multinationals and large‑scale AI applications.

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.
