SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Intchains Group Limited ICG (“we,” or the “Company”), an innovative altcoins development company that primarily focuses on providing integrated solutions consisting of high-performance computing ASIC chip products for altcoins, and on acquiring and holding ETH-based cryptocurrencies as its long-term asset reserve to support its Web3 industry development initiatives including actively developing Web3-based applications, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Third Quarter 2024 Operating and Financial Highlights
- Sales volume of ASIC chips: Our sales volume of ASIC chips for Q3 2024 was 207,838 units, compared to 165,056 units for the same period in 2023, representing an increase of 25.9%. All ASIC chip sales in the third quarter of 2024 were for chips embedded in computing equipment used for blockchain applications.
- Revenue: Our revenue for Q3 2024 reached RMB60.3 million (US$8.6 million), reflecting a significant increase of 781.4% from RMB6.8 million for the same period of 2023. For the third quarter of 2024, revenue derived from mainland China and overseas countries and regions accounted for 37.8% and 62.2% of our total revenue, respectively.
- Net Income: We reported a net income of RMB3.2 million (US$0.5 million) for Q3 2024, compared to a net loss of RMB19.1 million for the same period in 2023.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income: Non-GAAP adjusted net income in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB6.4 million (US$0.9 million), as compared to a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of RMB17.6 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Intchains Group Unveils: Innovation and a Promising Outlook
Mr. Qiang Ding, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to see the development of the crypto industry in 2024, which has driven the Company’s third quarter revenue to US$8.6 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 781.4%. Our net income has turned positive compared to the same period last year. In Q3 2024, we continued to implement our strategy of accumulating ETH, reaching 4,149 ETH as of September 30, 2024 representing a 71.7% increase as of June 30, 2024. As part of our initial foray into blockchain application expansion, we launched Goldshell Pay in Q3 2024, offering a one-stop payment solution for merchants. In November 2024, we were excited to see that the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies reached a historical high, with ETH prices surpassing the average cost of our holdings as of September 30, 2024. Based on our confidence in the future of the crypto industry, we plan to launch a hardware crypto wallet in Q4 2024, further advancing our application expansion on the foundation of Goldshell Pay. Actively exploring new projects, we expect to complete the production and commercialization of new ASICs by Q1 2025. Stay tuned as we continue to push boundaries with our initiatives.”
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Revenue
Revenue was RMB60.3 million (US$8.6 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 781.4% from RMB6.8 million for the same period of 2023. The substantial growth was primarily driven by a significant increase in the average selling price of our latest ASIC chip products launched in 2024 compared to our earlier ASIC chip products.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue was RMB19.5 million (US$2.8 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 29.6% from RMB15.1 million for the same period of 2023. The percentage increase in cost of revenue was substantially lower than the percentage increase in our revenue, which was primarily due to the higher gross margins for our latest ASIC chip products launched in 2024 compared to the older ASIC chip products.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were RMB37.7 million (US$5.4 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 90.8% from RMB19.7 million for the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in research and development expenses, and general and administrative expenses, and loss on fair value of cryptocurrency, net.
- Research and development expenses increased by 21.1% to RMB13.8 million (US$2.0 million) for the third quarter of 2024 from RMB11.4 million for the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the increased share-based incentive expenses and labor costs.
- Sales and marketing expenses remained steady at RMB2.2 million and RMB2.1 million (US$0.3 million), respectively, for the third quarter of 2023 and 2024.
- General and administrative expenses increased by 41.6% to RMB8.7 million (US$1.2 million) for the third quarter of 2024 from RMB6.2 million for the same period of 2023, mainly driven by increased share-based incentive expenses, travelling expenses, and entertainment fees.
- Loss on fair value of cryptocurrency, net, for the third quarter of 2024 was RMB13.1 million (US$1.9 million), compared to nil in the same period of 2023. The loss was primarily due to the volatility of the cryptocurrency market, with ETH falling approximately 24.2% from the end of the second quarter to the end of the third quarter of 2024.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased by 8.9% to RMB4.2 million (US$0.6 million) for the third quarter of 2024 from RMB4.6 million for the same period of 2023, mainly attributable to the decreased cash level due to our strategy of acquiring ETH-based cryptocurrencies using our cash flow.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, increased by 90.9% to RMB2.6 million (US$0.4 million) for the third quarter of 2024 from RMB1.4 million for the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in grants received from the local government, which have no repayment obligations and change in fair value of short-term investments.
Net Income/(Loss)
As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a net income of RMB3.2 million (US$0.5 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared to a net loss of RMB19.1 million for the same period of 2023.
Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income/(Loss)
Non-GAAP adjusted net income in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB6.4 million (US$0.9 million), as compared to a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of RMB17.6 million for the same period of 2023.
Basic and Diluted Net Earnings/(Loss) Per Ordinary Share
Basic and diluted net earnings per ordinary share were RMB0.03 (US$nil) for the third quarter of 2024, compared to basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share of RMB0.16 for the same period of 2023.
Non-GAAP Basic and Diluted Net Earnings/(Loss) Per Ordinary Share
Non-GAAP adjusted diluted net income per ADS was RMB0.05 (US$nil) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share of RMB0.15 in the same period of 2023. Each ADS represents two of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares.
Recent Development
Development of Goldshell Pay
As a part of our Web3 industry development initiatives, we have been actively developing applications based on blockchain technology. Goldshell Pay, our first such application, was launched in the third quarter of 2024. It provides professional, one-stop blockchain payment solutions for partners worldwide, equipping merchants with functions for risk monitoring, data operations, and business access. Once commercialized, we plan to collect service fees from merchants who process payments and receipts through Goldshell Pay. Currently in its trial stage, we do not expect Goldshell Pay to contribute materially to our profits during this phase. However, we believe it represents an important step toward becoming a company with a stable application development pipeline and the ability to navigate across the crypto cycle.

Exchange Rate Information

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this announcement are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on the Company’s current expectations and projections about future events that the Company believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about: (i) our goals and strategies; (ii) our future business development, formed condition and results of operations; (iii) expected changes in our revenue, costs or expenditures; (iv) growth of and competition trends in our industry; (v) our expectations regarding demand for, and market acceptance of, our products; (vi) general economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate; (vii) relevant government policies and regulations relating to our business and industry; (viii) fluctuations in the market price of ETH-based cryptocurrencies; gains or losses from the sale of ETH-based cryptocurrencies; changes in accounting treatment for the Company’s ETH-based cryptocurrencies holdings; a decrease in liquidity in the markets in which ETH-based cryptocurrencies are traded; security breaches, cyberattacks, unauthorized access, loss of private keys, fraud, or other events leading to the loss of the Company’s ETH-based cryptocurrencies; impacts to the price and rate of adoption of ETH-based cryptocurrencies associated with financial difficulties and bankruptcies of various participants in the industry; and (ix) assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing. Investors can identify these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “project” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent occurring events or circumstances, or changes in its expectations, except as may be required by law. Although the Company believes that the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot assure you that such expectations will turn out to be correct, and the Company cautions investors that actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results and encourages investors to review other factors that may affect its future results in the Company’s registration statement and other filings with the SEC.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating Company’s business, the Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted income (loss) from operations and adjusted net income (loss), as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The Company defines adjusted income (loss) from operations as income (loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses, and adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. 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 expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in Company’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.

Breaking: $11 Million Jury Award Against Gunmaker Sig Sauer; Found Negligent, Reckless for Defective Design, Sale of P320 Pistol That Directly Caused Injuries to Gun Owner-Veteran
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Philadelphia jury has just awarded $11 million in damages to U.S. Army veteran George Abrahams, who was shot by his own Sig Sauer P320 pistol while it was in its holster and without his hands touching the gun. The jury found that Sig Sauer defectively designed the P320, was negligent in selling the gun, and showed reckless indifference to the rights of others in the distribution of the pistol. The verdict and jury award – $10 million in punitive damages, and $1 million in compensatory damages – followed a three-week trial in the first Pennsylvania, P320 case against Sig Sauer to go to trial.
Mr. Abrahams is the latest victim of the Sig Sauer P320 to prevail at trial against the international gun manufacturer, according to his attorneys at Saltz Mongeluzzi Bendesky PC. The verdict follows the $2.35 million Federal jury award in June to the firm’s Georgia client (Lang v. Sig Sauer, 1:21-cv-04196, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia) who was also shot by his holstered P320 without ever touching the trigger.
Mr. Abrahams filed a negligence and products liability complaint against Sig Sauer, alleging that his and hundreds of other P320s have discharged and injured active-duty law enforcement personnel and civilian owners; the victims are well trained, safety-focused gun users concerned the manufacturer has to date adamantly resisted issuing a safety recall or redesign. Mr. Abrahams’ unintended and uncommanded shooting occurred suddenly on June 19, 2020 while Mr. Abrahams was simply walking down the stairs of his house; the bullet tore through his right leg, rendering him permanently injured.
“The jury saw the P320 for exactly what it is, defective and dangerous,” said firm Partner Robert W. Zimmerman, lead plaintiff’s counsel. “We successfully argued that Sig Sauer knew of the risks of the P320s design, predicted these risks would injure its customers, and saw these risks play out in the real world. Sig Sauer knowingly and negligently compromised safety in the name of profit.”
Every P320 sold to the military featured an external safety to guard against unintended, uncommanded firing. However, the vast majority of P320 models sold to the public and police do not even have an external safety as an option. Sig Sauer also designed a trigger safety that was used widely within the industry, but inexplicably scrapped the design before P320s with trigger safeties were put into production. Plaintiff’s counsel alleged that Sig Sauer is the only gun maker in the world to make this type of gun without a safety, and that Sig Sauer blatantly ignored its own policy that pre-cocked pistols come with a safety. “Mr. Abrahams demonstrated great courage in bringing this lawsuit, the same kind of courage he displayed serving our country with distinction as an enlisted field artillery specialist in the U.S. Army. He is hopeful this verdict, which came after several hours of jury deliberations over three days, sends a loud and clear message to Sig Sauer that there are consequences to its actions, and inactions. The only way for Sig Sauer to avoid injuring- or killing- innocent victims is to redesign this gun to include a safety like other gun manufacturers,” Zimmerman said.
“We have said it before, and juries are now speaking loud and clear with their verdicts; this gun is a danger to gun owners and anyone within the vicinity of this gun,” co-counsel Ryan Hurd affirmed. Plaintiff’s legal team also included SMB’s Larry Bendesky and Samuel A. Haaz.
SMB represents more than 100 other P320 victims injured by Sig Sauer’s first striker-fired pistol. The firm continues to uncover more instances of unintended discharges. The firm’s clients seek to hold Sig Sauer accountable for the defectively designed gun, and to call upon the company from taking steps that its competitors take to avoid injuring or killing other victims. The P320 has been the subject of controversy, litigation, and media scrutiny for years. Last year it was featured in a joint investigation by The Washington Post, joining other national investigative reports.
Additional related information on the Sig Sauer litigation – and the gun’s troubled history – can be found at www.SMB_SigSauerCases.

Target Plunges 21% While Williams-Sonoma Soars 27% On Same Day
Investors were treated to quite the pair trade on Wednesday when shares of big box retailer Target Corp TGT sunk while shares of home furnishing retailer Williams-Sonoma, Inc. WSM rocketed off earnings. The two stocks were the biggest movers of the day, according to Benzinga Pro.
Price Action: Target’s stock closed the day at $121.72, down 21.41%. According to market strategist Ryan Detrick, Wednesday was the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company’s third-worst day in history in the market.
Meanwhile, Williams-Sonoma’s price action was certainly something to write home about. The San Fransisco, California-based company’s shares closed the Wednesday trading session at $175.04, up 27.54%. This was the company’s second-best day ever in the market.
Target Earnings: Target reported earnings-per-share of $1.85 in 2024’s third quarter, under Wall Street’s projection of $2.30. Revenue numbers also fell under expectations. Net income fell 12.1% year-over-year while cost of sales and administrative expenses increases outpaced revenue growth.
Management cited cost pressures and continued supply chain disruptions for its weak quarterly performance. The company has previously blamed store theft as a driver of financial underperformance.
Wells Fargo and Citigroup issued a downgrade for Target stock on Wednesday, according to Benzinga analyst ratings.
Williams-Sonoma Earnings: Williams-Sonoma’s report painted a rosier picture.
The company reported earnings-per-share of $1.96, beating estimates of $1.78. The home furnishing and cooking retailer also gained market share and raised guidance.
Laura Alber, president and CEO, highlighted the company’s margins as a catalyst for its earnings beat.
“Our operating results reflect the operational improvements that we have been focused on all year, and demonstrate the strength of our margin profile in a difficult environment,” Alber said in a press release.
The Retail Industry: Target sells Williams-Sonoma cookbooks on its online e-commerce platform.
The two earnings reports paint mixed signals for a retail industry at a crossroads. While some retailers have continued to struggle amid tough macroeconomic conditions and rapid change in the industry at large, others have flourished.
