Operational and Financial Highlights for Fiscal Year 2020
Total computing power sold in fiscal year 2020 was 0.50 million TH/s, representing a year-over-year decrease of 91.64% from 5.97 million TH/s in fiscal year 2019.
Total net revenues in fiscal year 2020 were US$19.00 million representing an 82.57% year-over-year decrease from US$109.06 million in fiscal year 2019.
Gross loss in fiscal year 2020 was US$2.90 million representing a 90.51% year-over-year decrease from US$30.56 million in fiscal year 2019.

Mr. Dong Hu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “The negative impact and unprecedented challenges caused by COVID-19 on businesses around the world is well documented, and we are not immune to them. Our chip suppliers have reduced their production capacity, resulting in our shortage of raw materials during the fiscal year of 2020. To ensure the resilience of our business operations and deliver solid performance after the market condition resumes normal, we have been actively optimizing our revenue structure based on the productivity ratio and strategically exploring expansion into blockchain-enabled financial services. For example, we positioned our overseas expansion by establishing subsidiaries globally and acquiring relevant licenses or authorizations for our cryptocurrency exchange business.”
Continued Hu, “We are committed to our mission in strengthening the technological innovation in our products and services to ensure their competitiveness in the global cryptocurrency market. As previously noted, in 2021, we will increase investments in high performance ASIC chips and mining machines. Our abundant cash reserve allows us to expand the revenue sources from our current business and optimize the development of our blockchain industry chain. We believe our current businesses have solid potential and we are working hard to deliver results going forward that will demonstrate sequential improvement in operating and financial metrics.”
Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2020
Total net revenues in fiscal year 2020 were US$19.00 million representing an 82.57% year-over-year decrease from US$109.06 million in fiscal year 2019. The year-over-year decrease in total net revenues was primarily due to the combined impact of COVID-19 such as travel restrictions, mandatory quarantines and suspension of business activities, which have caused severe disruptions and uncertainties to the Company’s business operations and adversely affected the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. For instance, the Company’s chip suppliers have reduced their production capacity due to the impact of the COVID-19, resulting in the Company’s shortage of raw materials during the first half of 2020. And together with the Bitcoin halving event, which significantly affected the expected returns on Bitcoin related activities such as mining, and in turn resulted in a much lower demand and average selling price of the Company’s Bitcoin mining machines.
Cost of revenues in fiscal year 2020 was US$21.90 million compared to US$139.62 million in fiscal year 2019. The year-over-year decrease in cost of revenues was in line with the changes in the Company’s sales and the decrease in inventory write-down.
Gross loss in fiscal year 2020 were US$2.90 million representing a 90.51% year-over-year decrease from US$30.56 million in fiscal year 2019.
Total operating expenses in fiscal year 2020 were US$23.75 million compared to US$20.08 million in fiscal year 2019.
- Selling expenses in fiscal year 2020 were US$0.93 million compared to US$1.21 million in fiscal year 2019. The year-over-year decrease in selling expenses was in line with the decrease in the Company’s sales as well as reduced salary and bonus expenses relating to selling activities.
- General and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2020 were US$22.82 million compared to US$18.87 million in fiscal year 2019. The year-over-year increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increase in professional fee related to the IPO process.
Loss from operations in fiscal year 2020 was US$26.65 million compared to US$50.65 million in fiscal year 2019.
Interest income in fiscal year 2020 was US$0.82 million compared to US$0.22 million in fiscal year 2019. The year-over-year increase in interest income was primarily due to the increase in the interest income from our investments in bonds after our IPO in 2020 and there was no bond investment in 2019.
Government grants in fiscal year 2020 were US$4.01 million compared to US$6.30 million in fiscal year 2019. The year-over-year decrease in government grants was primarily due to the decrease of non-recurring rebates from local government.
Net loss in fiscal year 2020 was US$32.11 million compared to US$41.07 million in fiscal year 2019.
Net loss attributable to Ebang International Holdings Inc. in fiscal year 2020 was US$30.67 million compared to US$42.40 million in fiscal year 2019.
