Dallas, Texas, June 1, 2026 - Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) ("Cango" or the "Company"), a leading Bitcoin miner leveraging its global operations to develop an integrated energy and AI compute platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter of 2026 Financial and Operational Highlights

Mr. Paul Yu, Chief Executive Officer of Cango, said, "We are executing a disciplined strategy to strengthen our mining foundation while advancing into AI infrastructure through EcoHash. In recent months, we have seen positive developments, including continued cost reductions driven by our fleet upgrade strategy, as well as steady operational performance across our global mining footprint. At the same time, our EcoHash initiative continues to progress, with pilot deployments advancing on schedule. By leveraging our global energy network and operational expertise, we are well-positioned to enhance efficiency, capture emerging AI compute opportunities, and drive sustainable long-term value."

Mr. Simon Tang, Chief Financial Officer of Cango, stated, "Despite a challenging quarter affected by industry adjustments and non-cash impacts, we made meaningful progress in improving our cost structure and strengthening our balance sheet. We reduced long-term debt, and achieved continued declines in mining cash costs through disciplined execution. Going forward, we remain focused on enhancing cash flow resilience, maintaining financial flexibility, and supporting the Company's strategic transition into more efficient and diversified infrastructure."

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results from Continuing Operations

REVENUES

During the quarter, total revenues were US$102.0 million, and revenues from Bitcoin mining were US$98.4 million. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2025, total revenue decreased approximately 43%, primarily reflecting the Company's proactive reduction of operating hashrate as it phased out older, less efficient S19 series mining machines and transitioned some capacity to a leased hashrate.

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

During the quarter, total operating costs and expenses were US$356.4 million. These costs were primarily associated with the Company's Bitcoin mining business, the recognition of impairment loss on mining machines, the loss on disposal of mining machines, and the loss from changes in fair value of receivable for Bitcoin collateral.

LOSS FROM OPERATIONS

Loss from operations in the first quarter of 2026 was US$254.4 million, compared with an operating loss of US$26.9 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to the decline in Bitcoin prices.

NET LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Net loss from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2026 was US$261.1 million, compared with a net loss of US$28.3 million in the same period of 2025.

ADJUSTED EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA loss in the first quarter of 2026 was US$154.1 million compared with adjusted EBITDA loss of US$1.7 million in the same period of 2025.

BALANCE SHEET

As of March 31, 2026, the Company held:

The substantial reduction in both the receivable for Bitcoin collateral and the associated long-term debt reflects the Company's proactive deleveraging efforts during the quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

As part of our review of business performance, we present adjusted EBITDA as a 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, loss on disposal of mining machines 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 the Company’s core operating results. The presentation of this 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.
