Total revenues were US$88.8 million, which beat the guidance of US$80 million and increased 80.9% year-over-year.

Total computing power sold was 9.1 million Terahash per second (TH/s), representing a year-over-year increase of 65.9%, setting a new high.

Net loss was US$92.9 million, compared to US$139.0 million in the same period of 2023.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was a gain of US$19.3 million, compared to a loss of US$69.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Full Year 2024 Operating and Financial Highlights

Total revenues were US$269.3 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 27.4% from US$211.5 million in 2023.

Total computing power sold was 26.0 million TH/s, representing a year-over-year increase of 32.6% from 19.6 million TH/s in 2023.

Mining revenue was US$44.0 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 29.6% from US$34.0 million in 2023.

Net loss was US$249.8 million, narrowing 39.7% year-over-year.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was a loss of US$71.5 million, narrowing 73.9% year-over-year.

Nangeng Zhang, chairman, and chief executive officer of Canaan, commented, “We closed out 2024 on a strong note, delivering robust results in the fourth quarter that exceeded our guidance, with total revenue reaching US$88.8 million. This outstanding top-line performance was primarily driven by the large-scale delivery of our latest A15 series, which contributed to a record-breaking 9.1 million TH/s in total computing power sold. Simultaneously, our mining operations capitalized on the favorable bitcoin price environment in Q4, achieving a remarkable 186 bitcoins mined and generating US$15.3 million in mining revenue, marking a sequential increase of 70.7%. Recently, we further expanded 4.7EH/s for our mining operations in North America through two new projects in Pennsylvania and Texas.

“Looking back on the past year, we remained steadfast in our commitment to delivering high-quality, customized mining solutions, such as our high-performance A15 series and the dual-function Avalon Home Series, catering to a diverse global customer base. In key markets like North America, we strengthened our local presence and established strategic partnerships with leading publicly listed mining companies, enhancing our brand recognition and market share. Despite navigating complex regulatory landscapes and shifting market conditions, we made significant progress in expanding our mining hash rate toward our goal of 10EH/s in North America and 15EH/s globally by mid-2025. Meanwhile, we continued to advance our global strategy across research and development, supply chains, production, and logistics to adapt to the evolving compliance environment. With unwavering confidence in Bitcoin‘s long-term potential, we remain dedicated to innovation, operational excellence, and cementing our role as a key player in the Bitcoin ecosystem.”

Jin “James” Cheng, chief financial officer of Canaan, stated, “We achieved excellent results in Q4, with total revenue significantly surpassing our guidance. This exceptional performance was driven by the ramp-up in A15 series bulk deliveries, leading to products revenue of US$73.5 million, a 63.6% year-over-year increase. Our mining business, which serves as our second growth engine, generated US$15.3 million in revenue, up 312.5% year-over-year and 70.7% quarter-over-quarter, while maintaining a highly competitive all-in power cost. This enabled us to accelerate our bitcoin accumulation through mining by leveraging bitcoin price tailwinds in the fourth quarter. As a result, our owned cryptocurrency reached 1,292.5 bitcoins by year-end, reinforcing our financial position. Additionally, due to strong top-line growth and cost optimization, we significantly narrowed our gross loss to US$6.4 million. Although certain non-cash items hit our bottom line, our net loss of US$92.9 million narrowed 33.2% year-over-year, and we achieved EBITDA breakeven and a gain of US$19.3 million in adjusted EBITDA for the quarter.

“The large-scale production and delivery of the A15 series contributed to our cash inflows and optimized our inventory structure as the model became our primary inventory component. As bitcoin prices climbed in Q4, generating fair value gains, our balance sheet was further strengthened, underscoring the advantages of our mining business and our HODL strategy. Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing advanced product deliveries, expanding our mining hash rate, and capitalizing on the anticipated market momentum to enhance our market presence.”

All information provided in this press release and in the attachments is as of the date of this press release, and Canaan Inc. does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.

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

Latest Economy Observer report from Dun & Bradstreet reveals downward revision in GDP growth forecast for FY2025-26

Published

on

By

MUMBAI, India, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dun & Bradstreet, a global leader in business decisioning data and analytics, has released its Economy Observer report for May 2025. Economy Observer is a monthly report sharing in-depth analysis of key macroeconomic developments in India and provides forecasts for key economic indicators, and insight into the expected direction of the Indian economy.

Key economic forecast:

Real Economy: Dun & Bradstreet has revised its GDP growth forecast for 2025-26 to 6.3% from 6.8%, reflecting rising global uncertainties and external headwinds such as U.S. tariff pressures and ongoing trade tensions that continue to weigh on exports and private investment. However, the Reserve Bank of India’s shift in policy stance to ‘accommodative’, coupled with the potential for further rate cuts, signals a proactive effort to stimulate domestic demand. At the same time, domestic factors, liquidity conditions, and some positive performing sectors as reflected in the recent Index of Industrial Production (IIP) data are expected to offer partial support. In this context, Dun & Bradstreet projects a moderate improvement in the IIP to 3.2% in April from 3.0% in March, despite ongoing weakness in manufacturing and mining.

Price Scenario: In April 2025, India’s inflation outlook remains favorable, with both retail and wholesale price pressures expected to ease. Dun & Bradstreet forecasts CPI inflation to moderate to 2.8% in April down from 3.3% in March, supported by steady rural consumption driven by welfare measures, that have bolstered agricultural output and rural demand. On the wholesale front, WPI inflation is projected to decline to 1.3% in April, from 2.0% in March, reflecting muted input cost pressures and soft global commodity prices, despite recent volatility in metal markets. While copper prices have surged and other base metals exhibit mixed trends, these are expected to have a more pronounced impact on future inflation and industrial cost structures rather than immediate wholesale price inflation. Overall, the inflation trajectory appears benign in the near term, underpinned by supportive domestic factors and a stable supply outlook.

Money & Finance: India’s financial markets in April 2025 reflect a softening interest rate environment, supported by easing inflation, stable borrowing costs, and cautious credit dynamics. Dun & Bradstreet’s forecast of the 10-year G-Sec yield moderating to 6.7%, 91-day T-Bill yield holding at 6.5%, and bank credit growth rising to 11.5% in April from 11% in March is driven by the RBI’s continued monetary easing—marked by a second consecutive 25 bps repo rate cut to 6.00%—and improving macroeconomic stability. Despite the current liquidity deficit, as evidenced by the muted response to the ₹1.5 trillion VRR auction, which attracted only ₹25,431 crore in bids. The RBI’s ₹40,000 crore OMO purchase further supports liquidity, reinforcing expectations of a gradual recovery in credit and investment activity.

External Sector: In March 2025, the INR/USD exchange rate strengthened to 86.6, Dun & Bradstreet’s forecasts pointing to further appreciation to 85.8 in April and 85.2 by May, supported by easing global inflation and reduced capital outflows. The Reserve Bank of India’s strategic interventions have helped stabilize the currency despite global financial market volatility and speculation in currency markets. A narrower trade deficit of USD 12.5 billion in April, due to lower non-essential imports, along with ₹14,670 crore in net FII inflows, has further improved the balance of payments and reinforced investor confidence, strengthening the rupee.

Arun Singh, Global Chief Economist, Dun & Bradstreet said, “India’s macroeconomic near-term outlook signals cautious optimism, with the RBI steering a delicate balance between growth and macroeconomic stability. Prospects for the manufacturing sector appear strong, with expectations of a shift in demand from U.S. firms moving away from China toward India. Inflation is low because of weak commodity prices, allowing the RBI to cut the repo rate again in April. This will further boost domestic demand, which is already supported by steady rural consumption. India’s recovery will hinge on sustained policy support and the stabilization of the global economic landscape. The path forward, while not without risks, is marked by underlying structural strength and policy agility.”

Factors Affecting Market Growth & Opportunities:

The global speech-to-text API market is experiencing rapid expansion, driven by several key factors. Increase in adoption of AI and ML has significantly enhanced transcription accuracy, making these solutions indispensable across industries such as healthcare, legal, and customer service. The proliferation of smart devices and voice-enabled applications, including virtual assistants, further fuels demand. In addition, the shift toward cloud-based solutions offers scalability and cost-efficiency, particularly for SMEs. The growing emphasis on accessibility and compliance with regulations also promotes market growth, as organizations seek inclusive communication tools.

However, challenges such as data privacy concerns, integration complexities with legacy systems, and accuracy limitations with diverse accents & noisy environments restrain market potential. High development costs and a shortage of skilled professionals further hinder adoption. Despite these barriers, emerging opportunities in fraud detection, real-time analytics, and multilingual support present significant growth avenues. The education sector, in particular, offers untapped potential with the rise of e-learning and voice-enabled educational tools. As NLP and deep learning technologies advance, the market is poised for further innovation, creating opportunities for vendors to develop specialized, industry-specific solutions.

Regulatory Landscape & Compliance:

The speech-to-text API market is significantly influenced by evolving data privacy and security regulations, such as GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California), and HIPAA (healthcare sector), which mandate strict handling of voice data. Compliance with these laws is critical, as APIs often process sensitive personal and financial information. Providers must implement end-to-end encryption, anonymization techniques, and secure storage to meet regulatory standards.

In addition, industry-specific regulations—such as PCI-DSS for payment processing and FERPA in education, impact deployment, requiring tailored solutions. The rise of AI ethics guidelines  also affects development, ensuring transparency and bias mitigation in speech recognition algorithms.

Non-compliance risks hefty fines and reputational damage, pushing vendors to adopt auditable, privacy-by-design frameworks. Meanwhile, regions with laxer data laws have see faster adoption but face future regulatory tightening. Overall, adherence to compliance standards remains a key competitive differentiator in this rapidly growing market.

Technological Innovations & Future Trends:

AI-Powered Real-Time Transcription: Startups and tech giants are leveraging deep learning and neural networks to deliver ultra-accurate, low-latency speech-to-text solutions. For example, Deepgram uses end-to-end AI for enterprise-grade transcription, while Rev.ai offers real-time APIs for developer integrations.Edge Computing & On-Device Processing: Companies like Sonantic (acquired by NVIDIA) and Picovoice are enabling offline speech recognition for privacy-sensitive applications, reducing reliance on cloud infrastructure.Multilingual & Dialect Adaptation: Innovations in self-supervised learning allow APIs to support underrepresented languages and dialects. Platforms like Speechmatics and Google’s Chirp are expanding access for non-English speakers.Voice Analytics for Fraud Prevention: Fintech and call-center industries are adopting speech-to-text APIs with emotion/sentiment analysis to detect scams, monitor compliance, and enhance customer interactions.
