08/23/2024

SINGAPORE, Aug. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ebang International Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: EBON, the “Company,” “we” or “our”), today announced its unaudited financial results for the first six months of fiscal year 2024.

Operational and Financial Highlights for the First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2024

Total net revenues in the first six months of 2024 were US$2.11 million, representing a 37.41% period-over-period decrease from US$3.38 million in the same period of 2023.

Gross profit in the first six months of 2024 was US$0.08 million compared to the gross profit of US$0.28 million in the same period of 2023.

Net loss in the first six months of 2024 was US$6.65 million compared to US$8.38 million in the same period of 2023.

Dong Hu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “Our financial results for the first half of 2024 reflect our continuing efforts to transition our business while we expand our products and services into industries that we believe will be supported by our existing core technologies, R&D expertise and manufacturing capacity. We are pleased with the progress that we have been able to make, particularly as we have faced and will continue to face challenges from macroeconomic conditions, policy changes, market fluctuations, evolving or shifting trends, and competition within the industry, that contributed to both highlights and downturns in our financial performance. We have been reflecting on our strengths and core competencies and experience in design, R&D and manufacturing and determined that there was an unmet need in the renewable energy space for us to exploit, where we aim to integrate cutting-edge technology into this market, with a particular focus on advanced solar cell manufacturing.”

Continued Mr. Hu: “We believe that this year will mark a significant turning point for us where we build on past achievements and monetize our prior efforts. The transition will begin paying off now that we have commenced our strategic entry into the renewable energy sector. Our past experiences have equipped us with invaluable expertise in R&D and manufacturing, forming the core of our competitive advantage. These advanced professional skills and substantial technological reserves have become our foundation for mutual learning and collaboration across various industries. We are resolute in our belief that opportunities and challenges coexist and are committed to actively expanding new business areas and commercial models while maintaining strict control over operational costs to ensure the Company’s sustainable and stable development. We believe that through technological innovation, we can stand out and meet the ever-growing and evolving market demands for this new industry sector we’re pursuing, i.e. renewable energy production, and contribute to the betterment of our planet and future.” 

Unaudited Financial Results for the First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2024

Total net revenues in the first six months of 2024 were US$2.11 million, representing a 37.41% period-over-period decrease from US$3.38 million in the same period of 2023. The period-over-period decrease in total net revenues was due to changes in the market condition in the first six months of 2024, which resulted in a decrease in service revenue and product revenue in the first six months of 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023.

Cost of revenues in the first six months of 2024 was US$2.03 million, representing a 34.32% period-over-period decrease from US$3.09 million in the same period of 2023. The period-over-period decrease in cost of revenues was mainly due to the impact of a decrease in impairment cost in relation to products for the first six months of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

Gross profit in the first six months of 2024 was US$0.08 million, compared to the gross profit of US$0.28 million in the same period of 2023.

Total operating expenses in the first six months of 2024 were US$12.50 million compared to US$13.64 million in the same period of 2023.

  • Selling expenses in the first six months of 2024 were US$0.66 million compared to US$0.75 million in the same period of 2023. The period-over-period decrease in selling expenses was mainly caused by decreased general advertising and marketing expenses related to our Fintech business for the first six months of 2024.

  • General and administrative expenses in the first six months of 2024 were US$11.84 million compared to US$12.89 million in the same period of 2023. The period-over-period decrease in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to our optimization and streamlining of business operations, including resource allocation, cost, and expense control.

Loss from operations in the first six months of 2024 was US$12.42 million compared to US$13.35 million in the same period of 2023.

Interest income in the first six months of 2024 was US$6.04 million compared to US$3.22 million in the same period of 2023. The period-over-period increase in interest income was mainly caused by an increase in interest rate for US dollar deposits and the Company had more fixed-term deposit with large principals for the first six months of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

Other income in the first six months of 2024 was US$0.33 million compared to US$1.04 million in the same period of 2023. The period-over-period decrease in other income was mainly due to the Company taking possession of customer deposits collected from previous years as a result of defaults by customers under their respective contracts with the Company for the first six months of 2023, while no such event occurred in the first six months of 2024.

Other expense in the first six months of 2024 was US$0.06 million compared to US$0.04 million in the same period of 2023.

Net loss in the first six months of 2024 was US$6.65 million compared to US$8.38 million in the same period of 2023.

Net loss attributable to Ebang International Holdings Inc. in the first six months of 2024 was US$6.23 million compared to US$7.82 million in the same period of 2023.

Basic and diluted net loss per share in the first six months of 2024 were both US$0.99 compared to US$1.25 in the same period of 2023.
