Exhibit 99.1
We would like to note investors that after the announcement of our unaudited fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results on March 7, 2023, as we continued to experience a decline in the demand for our Bitcoin mining machines amidst continued Bitcoin price fluctuation, we had to offer additional discounts in our A12 machine series in late March 2023, which in turn led to a further write-down to our inventories and related prepayments based on the most recent subsequent selling price, compared to the inventories write-down we had recorded based on the earlier selling price level.
As such, we recorded inventories write-down, prepayment write-down and provision for reserve for inventory purchase commitments of RMB629.4 million in 2022. The effects of the restatement: (i) increased cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from RMB622.8 million to RMB823.0 million, and cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 from RMB2,631.0 million to RMB2,831.1 million, (ii) increased net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from RMB438.3 million to RMB610.2 million, and decreased net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 from RMB658.2 million to RMB486.3 million, (iii) decreased inventories as of December 31, 2022 from RMB1,512.1 million to RMB1,474.0 million, (iv) increased deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022 from RMB123.2 million to RMB151.4 million, and (v) increased accrued liabilities and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2022 from RMB260.9 million to RMB336.7 million.

This Management Discussion and Analysis of Canaan Inc. (the “Company”) provides analysis of the Company’s financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2022. The following information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 were RMB391.9 million (US$56.8 million), representing a decrease of 59.9% from RMB978.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 82.1% from RMB2,184.6 million in the same period of 2021.
Products revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB319.6 million (US$46.3 million), representing a decrease of 65.1% from RMB916.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 85.3% from RMB2,168.9 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease compared to the third quarter of 2022 and compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 were mainly due to the decrease in total computing power sold and the lower selling price, which resulted from the declined bitcoin price. AI product revenue decreased from RMB2.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB1.6 million (US$0.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Mining revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB72.2 million (US$10.5 million), representing an increase of 16.3% from RMB62.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of 368.2% from RMB15.4 million in the same period of 2021. The increases in mining revenue over the third quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2021 were mainly attributable to the increased computing power energized for mining.
Cost of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB823.0 million (US$119.3 million), representing an increase of 8.4% from RMB758.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of 18.0% from RMB697.6 million in the same period of 2021. The sequential and year-over-year increases in cost of revenues were primarily due to RMB405.5 million of inventory write-down, prepayment write-down and provision for reserve for inventory purchase commitments, as well as RMB74.9 million of depreciation for mining machines deployed for the Company’s mining business in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Gross loss in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB431.1 million (US$62.5 million), compared to a gross profit of RMB219.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a gross profit of RMB1,486.9 million in the same period of 2021.
Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 were RMB404.8 million (US$58.7 million), representing an increase of 41.4% from RMB286.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of 47.9% from RMB273.7 million in the same period of 2021.
Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 were RMB223.5 million (US$32.4million), representing an increase of 89.3% from RMB118.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of 99.5% from RMB112.0 million in the same period of 2021. The sequential increase was primarily attributable to RMB96.0 million one-off research and development expenditure for A13 series products. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increased research and development costs for new products and increased staff costs in technology-related departments, partially offset by decreased share-based compensation expenses. Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 also included share-based compensation expenses of RMB14.1 million (US$2.1 million).
Sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 were RMB7.6 million (US$1.1 million), representing a decrease of 46.5% from RMB14.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 75.2% from RMB30.7 million in the same period of 2021. The sequential and year-over-year decreases were mainly due to decreased staff costs. Sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 also included share-based compensation expenses of RMB4.4 million (US$0.6 million).
General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 were RMB162.4 million (US$23.5 million), representing an increase of 13.8% from RMB142.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of 24.0% from RMB131.0 million in the same period of 2021. The sequential increase was mainly due to increased staff costs, partially offset by decreased share-based compensation expenses. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to increased share-based compensation expenses and office expenses, which were partially offset by decreased staff costs. General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 also included share-based compensation expenses of RMB77.6 million (US$11.3 million).
Impairment on cryptocurrency in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB11.3 million (US$1.6 million), compared to RMB11.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 and nil in the same period of 2021. The impairment was mainly due to the declining bitcoin price during the fourth quarter of 2022.
Loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB835.8 million (US$121.2 million), compared to a loss from operations of RMB67.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 and an income from operations of RMB1,213.2 million in the same period of 2021.
Non-GAAP loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB739.3 million (US$107.2 million), compared to a non-GAAP income from operations of RMB38.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a non-GAAP income from operations of RMB1,267.4 million in the same period of 2021.

The foreign exchange gains were due to the US dollar appreciation against the Renminbi since the second quarter of 2022.
Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB610.2 million (US$88.5 million), compared to a net income of RMB46.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a net income of RMB1,196.5 million in the same period of 2021.
Non-GAAP adjusted net loss in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB513.7 million (US$74.5 million), compared to a non-GAAP adjusted net income of RMB151.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a non-GAAP adjusted net income of RMB1,250.7 million in the same period of 2021. Non-GAAP adjusted net (loss)/income excludes share-based compensation expenses and change in fair value of warrant liability. For further information, please refer to “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press release.
Foreign currency translation adjustment, net of nil tax, in the fourth quarter of 2022 was a loss of RMB47.2 million (US$6.8 million), compared with an income of RMB94.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a loss of RMB19.9 million in the same period of 2021, respectively. The loss in the fourth quarter of 2022 was due to the US dollar depreciation against the Renminbi during the fourth quarter of 2022.
Basic net loss per American depositary share (“ADS”) in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB3.64 (US$0.53). In comparison, basic net earnings per ADS in the third quarter of 2022 and in the same period of 2021 were RMB0.27 and RMB6.90, respectively.

Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Use of Non--GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating Canaan’s business, the Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted net income/(loss), as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The Company defines adjusted net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses and change in fair value of warrant liability. 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 income, 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 net income is that it does not reflect all of the items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation and change in fair value of warrant liability have been and may continue to be incurred in Canaan’s business and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income. 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.
