Nano Labs Announces Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
HANGZHOU, China, November 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nano Labs Ltd (Nasdaq: NA) (“we,” the “Company” or “Nano Labs”), a leading fabless integrated circuit design company and product solution provider in China, today announced its unaudited financial results as of September 30, 2022 and for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights
Mr. Jianping Kong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “We are pleased with our outstanding performance in the third quarter of 2022, despite the impact of the transition of Ethereum from POW (Proof-of-Work) to POS (Proof-of-Stake) on our performance in September. In the third quarter of 2022, we saw a significant increase in our product delivery and net revenue. In addition, our metaverse rendering platform, iPolloverse, has achieved a major breakthrough in live rendering technology to accommodate 10,000 concurrent users on the same screen and completed the creation of the consensus mechanism in September. iPolloverse's latest rendering solution reduces the threshold for each user to participate and is committed to realizing the open social and immersive experience in the 3D metaverse, allowing tens of thousands of users to interact in real-time and at a low cost in the same scene. Meanwhile, we are actively developing our iterative products, B2 and Cuckoo 3.0 chips, and plan to launch them next year. Metaverse has presented new growth opportunities for us. We are well positioned to seize the new opportunities, improve our innovative capacities, and continue developing our business in the evolving market.”
Mr. Bing Chen, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “In the third quarter of this year, our net revenue achieved significant growth, with an increase to RMB590.3 million (US$83.1million) as compared to the same period of last year. In addition, we turned a net income of RMB52.5 million (US$7.4 million) in the third quarter of 2022 from a net loss of RMB6.1 million in the same period of 2021. Through our continuous efforts, our product delivery volume increased significantly in
the third quarter of 2022. We also completed a follow-on offering with US$5.0 million in this period. We believe our strong capabilities and strategic development position us well for future growth and we are confident in generating values for our shareholders, investors, customers, suppliers and employees in the long term.”
Unaudited Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenues increased significantly to RMB590.3 million (US$83.1 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from RMB13.5 million for the same period of 2021. The increase in net revenues was primarily due to the increase in sales volume of iPollo V1 Series and B1 Series products.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues increased significantly to RMB459.9 million (US$64.8 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from RMB5.0 million for the same period of 2021. The change was mainly due to the increase in sales volume and an inventory write-down of RMB237.5 million.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased to RMB80.4 million (US$11.3 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from RMB16.2 million for the same period of 2021.
Profit (Loss) from Operations
Profit from operations was RMB49.9 million (US$7.0 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with loss from operations of RMB7.8 million for the same period of 2021.
Finance Income
Finance income was RMB2.5 million (US$0.4 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with finance income of RMB0.4 million for the same period of 2021 due to the increase of foreign currency exchange gains.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income was RMB52.5 million (US$7.4 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with net loss of RMB6.1 million for the same period of 2021.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
Basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share was RMB0.49 (US$0.07) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with basic and diluted loss per ordinary share of RMB0.06 for the same period of 2021. Each ADS represents 2 of the Company’s class A ordinary shares.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB86.8 million (US$12.2 million), compared with RMB233.9 million as of December 31, 2021.
Exchange Rate
This press release contains translations of certain Renminbi (RMB) amounts into U.S. dollars (US$) solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise specified, all translations of Renminbi amounts into U.S. dollar amounts in this press release are made at RMB7.0998 to US$1.00, the central parity rate on September 30, 2022 published by the People’s Bank of China.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our business, we consider and use adjusted net income/(loss) as an additional non-GAAP measure to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expense.
We present the non-GAAP financial measure because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP financial measures enable our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of non-cash charges and non-operating items. We also believe that the use of the non-GAAP measure facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance.
The non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the non-GAAP financial measure is that they do not reflect all
items of income and expense that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income/(loss). Further, the non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
