Intchains Group Limited Reports First Half 2026 Financial Results

(Moderate)
(Neutral)
Tags

Intchains Group (Nasdaq: ICG) reported unaudited H1 2026 revenue of RMB11.1 million, down 93.7% from H1 2025, reflecting weak altcoin demand and PRC mining-machine sales restrictions. Cost of revenue was RMB22.1 million, resulting in negative gross margins driven by inventory impairments and lower selling prices.

Total operating expenses fell 35.2% year over year to RMB42.0 million, led by a 46.3% decline in R&D and a 58.7% decline in sales and marketing. Loss from operations was RMB53.0 million versus operating income of RMB20.8 million a year earlier. Net loss reached RMB148.9 million, with basic and diluted loss per share of RMB1.22.

Change in fair value of cryptocurrencies produced a RMB89.5 million loss, mainly from lower ETH prices, partly offset by RMB4.7 million in other income from disposal of non-core intangibles to a related party and ETH staking. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss was RMB143.3 million. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled RMB461.1 million at June 30, 2026.

Operationally, Intchains completed tape-out of its new next-generation mining ASIC in July, targeting commercial launch in Q4 2026 and expecting modest H2 2026 revenue contribution. The company executed headcount optimization actions expected to reduce annual labor costs by RMB23.1 million and announced a share repurchase program of up to US$15 million in ADSs over two years starting August 21, 2026.

News Explained

The ASIC has reached tape-out, while the $15 million buyback remains optional and potential AI acquisitions have no identified targets or agreements.

Intchains completed tape-out of its next-generation mining ASIC in July; manufacturing, sample production and validation remain ahead of a targeted Q4 2026 launch, while its new buyback authorization permits up to $15 million of ADS repurchases from existing liquid resources but does not require purchases.

That makes the $15 million figure a ceiling rather than a committed outlay: timing and amount depend on market conditions and other listed factors, and the program may be modified, suspended or discontinued.

The company may also use Rule 10b5-1 plans, which are written trading plans adopted in advance to execute trades on a schedule or formula; the release describes that as a possible repurchase tool.

Potential AI acquisitions remain in their early stages, with no targets identified and no plans to enter agreements disclosed. The next ASIC checkpoints are engineering sample production, laboratory validation and performance, reliability and thermal testing before any production ramp; the company expects to provide more specific AI plans next year.

Analysis

ICG's short positioning was categorized as low in current platform data. That context frames the H1 release's liquidity, cost reductions, and repurchase authorization without resolving revenue weakness. Investors could watch ASIC validation, launch execution, and cryptocurrency valuation exposure; no recent insider activity was reported.

Key Terms

tape-out, asic, proof-of-work, rule 10b-18
4 terms
tape-out technical
"In July, we completed the tape-out of our new next-generation mining ASIC project"
Tape-out is the milestone when a chip designer delivers the finalized, production-ready blueprint of a semiconductor chip to a foundry for fabrication. Think of it as handing a finished blueprint to a factory: it means design work is complete and manufacturing (with its costs and timelines) can begin. For investors, tape-out signals a clear step toward production, potential revenue, and the transition of technical risk into manufacturing and market risk.
asic technical
"our new next-generation mining ASIC project"
ASIC is Australia’s corporate, markets and financial services regulator that enforces rules for companies, financial advisers and market operators; think of it as the referee and rulebook keeper for financial activity. It matters to investors because ASIC’s oversight, investigations and enforcement actions affect company credibility, legal risk and market fairness—actions that can change stock prices, investor confidence and the safety of financial products.
proof-of-work technical
"The ASIC is architected for the economics of proof-of-work algorithm"
A proof-of-work system is a method used by some digital networks to confirm transactions and secure the ledger by requiring participants to solve difficult computational puzzles; the first to solve a puzzle earns the right to add new records and receive a reward. For investors, it matters because it determines how much energy and hardware the network needs, affects transaction speed, security against attacks, and the supply rate and cost structure of the digital asset—factors that influence value and regulatory scrutiny.
rule 10b-18 regulatory
"including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934"
Rule 10b-18 is a regulation that sets strict rules for how a company's executives and employees can buy back their own company's stock from the market. It helps ensure that these buybacks happen in a fair and transparent way, reducing the chance of market manipulation. This is important for investors because it offers protection against unfair practices and promotes confidence in the integrity of the stock market.

  • Completes Tape-Out of New Next-Generation Mining ASIC in July; Commercial Launch on Track for Q4 2026
  • H2 2026 Strategy Focused on New ASIC Commercialization, Continued Cost Discipline, and Evaluation of AI-Focused ecosystem expansion opportunities
  • Announces $15 Million Share Repurchase Program

SINGAPORE, Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intchains Group Limited (Nasdaq: ICG) (“we,” or the “Company”), an integrated infrastructure provider of efficient altcoin mining and staking, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first six months of 2026 ended June 30, 2026 (“H1 2026”).

Results for the period reflected continued cyclical softness in altcoin demand, compounded by the PRC’s mining-machine sales restrictions announced in February 2026. Revenue was RMB11.1 million and total operating expenses were RMB42.0 million, with basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share of RMB1.22. The Company ended the period with RMB461.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, a balance sheet that the Company believes will allow the Company to fund its next-generation chip program entirely from internal resources.

Mr. Qiang Ding, Chairman and CEO, commented, “We entered this cycle with a deliberate choice; keep funding our next-generation mining ASIC development through a weaker demand environment, so that we would be ready with new products when the market turns. That decision is now paying off. In July, we completed the tape-out of our new next-generation mining ASIC project, a major technical milestone that keeps commercial launch on track for Q4 2026. With the most capital- and R&D-intensive phase of chip development behind us, we have moved into validation and are preparing for full commercialization. At the same time, disciplined expense management, headcount optimization, and a broader rollout of our AI-enabled operating model drove a meaningful reduction in total operating expenses, including an estimated RMB23.1 million reduction in annual labor costs based on headcount optimization actions completed as of June 30, 2026.”

Mr. Ding continued, “While we expect conditions to remain challenging through the second half of the year, we believe we are moving quickly to capture the opportunities ahead. We expect that our new mining ASIC will begin contributing modest revenue in H2 2026, building to a far more meaningful impact in fiscal 2027 as commercialization accelerates. Longer term, we believe that this platform further strengthens Intchains’ position as a leading and active supplier of purpose-built mining ASIC systems, driving superior operational efficiency for our customers and advancing a more sustainable proof-of-work infrastructure. It is a core part of our strategy to build a more resilient, diversified revenue base. Beyond this new project, we are evaluating new initiatives in AI, including potential acquisitions, as a mid- to long-term path to growth and further diversification. That work is in its early stages, and we expect to share more specific plans as we move into next year.”

H2 2026 STRATEGY

Commercialize the New Mining ASIC

  • In July, Intchains completed tape-out of its new mining ASIC, moving the project from design completion into manufacturing. Next steps are engineering sample production and laboratory validation, performance, reliability and thermal testing against internal benchmarks. Subject to successful validation, the Company expects to begin production ramp and system-level integration ahead of a commercial launch targeted for Q4 2026.
  • The ASIC is architected for the economics of proof-of-work algorithm, with an explicit focus on performance per watt to improve unit economics and return on invested capital for miners. Upon the new ASIC mining project’s commercial launch through Goldshell miner series, the Company expects the product family to broaden its addressable market across retail and professional miners and unlock new revenue streams through future system and service offerings. Intchains anticipates modest revenue contribution in H2 2026, scaling to a more meaningful contribution in FY 2027 with full-scale commercialization.

Extend Cost Optimization

  • Cost discipline remains a priority through year-end. As a result, as of June 30, 2026, the headcount optimization actions completed by the Company represented an estimated RMB23.1 million reduction in annual labor costs on a full-year basis, driven primarily by organizational restructuring, the divestiture of a non-core chip related business, as well as expanded adoption of AI-enabled tools across overall business operations.

Evaluate AI-Adjacent Growth and M&A

  • Intchains plans to invest selectively in new infrastructure opportunities to diversify its revenue base, and is evaluating potential acquisitions that would extend the Company’s core competencies in custom ASIC design and hardware systems integration into AI-enabled computing applications. This strategy is designed to reduce reliance on cryptocurrency market cycles while positioning the Company in higher-value computing markets adjacent to its existing hardware expertise. This exploration is in early stages. The Company has yet to identify any targets or plans to enter into any agreements, and the Company expects to share more details as plans develop.

Maintain a Prudent ETH Treasury and Staking Position, with Expanded Staking Support for Solana

  • As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the Company’s cryptocurrency assets excluding stablecoins such as USDT and USDC was RMB98.9 million (US$14.6 million), including approximately 9,176 ETH-based cryptocurrencies valued at RMB98.1 million.
  • As of August 20, 2026, the Company’s total units of ETH used in staking were 4,556, of which 3,556 ETH were deposited through the Goldshell Staking platform pending validator activation, while 1,000 ETH was staked on the FalconX platform.
  • Intchains expects to maintain its existing treasury holdings and continue generating staking yield, while not anticipating material additional accumulation as it prioritizes capital allocation toward next-generation ASIC development and commercialization and exploration of new AI initiatives.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $15 million of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), representing the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, over the next two years, commencing on August 21, 2026 and ending on August 20, 2028.

Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time through open market transactions or other means permitted by applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company based on market conditions, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities, and other factors. The Company currently expects to fund the Share Repurchase Program from its existing cash balance and other available liquid resources.

The Company believes this Share Repurchase Program underscores the management team’s confidence in Intchains’ long term strategic direction, and the commitment to creating sustainable value for all shareholders. It also aligns directly with our overall strategy of disciplined capital deployment, where we balance returning capital to shareholders with continued investments in advancing new initiatives.

The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate share repurchases under this authorization. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the program may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION

H1 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue
Revenue was RMB11.1 million (US$1.6 million) for H1 2026, representing a decrease of 93.7% from RMB175.6 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to cyclical fluctuations in the market and softer demand for our products in this period. Recorded revenue during the period included an RMB10.9 million (US$1.6 million) contribution from the sale of non-core chip related inventories to a related party.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue was RMB22.1 million (US$3.3 million) for H1 2026, representing a decrease of 75.5% from RMB90.0 million for the same period of 2025. Cost of revenue for H1 2026 was impacted by impairment charges recorded against excess inventory of existing altcoin mining machines. In addition, softer market demand led to lower selling prices for our altcoin mining products, resulting in negative gross margins for H1 2026.

Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were RMB42.0 million (US$6.2 million) for H1 2026, representing a decrease of 35.2% from RMB64.9 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower research and development expenses and sales and marketing expenses.

  • Research and development expenses decreased by 46.3% to RMB22.4 million (US$3.3 million) for H1 2026 from RMB41.6 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to lower photomask and IP-related expenses associated with the timing of product development activities, as well as lower personnel expenses following the Company’s headcount optimization initiatives.
  • Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 58.7% to RMB1.8 million (US$0.3 million) for H1 2026 from RMB4.3 million for the same period of 2025, primarily driven by reduced headcount and scaled back marketing activities.
  • General and administrative expenses decreased by 5.8% to RMB17.9 million (US$2.6 million) for H1 2026 from RMB19.0 million for the same period of 2025.

Loss from operations
Loss from operations was RMB53.0 million (US$7.8 million) for H1 2026, compared to income from operations of RMB20.8 million for the same period of 2025, primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue and gross profit, partially offset by decreased total operating expenses.

Interest Income
Interest income decreased to RMB3.6 million (US$0.5 million) for H1 2026 from RMB6.2 million for the same period of 2025, mainly due to lower average balances of interest-bearing financial assets and lower interest rates.

Change in fair value of cryptocurrencies
Change in fair value of cryptocurrencies resulted in a loss of RMB89.5 million (US$13.2 million) for H1 2026, compared to a loss of RMB28.0 million for the same period in 2025. The loss for H1 2026 was primarily a result of a decrease in the price of ETH during the period.

Other Income, Net
Other income, net was RMB4.7 million (US$0.7 million) for H1 2026, compared to RMB0.4 million, for the same period of 2025, primarily due to income from the disposal of certain non-core technology-related intangible assets to a related party and income from ETH staking activities during the period.

Net Income/(Loss)
As a result of the foregoing, we recorded net loss of RMB148.9 million (US$21.9 million) for H1 2026, compared to net income of RMB4.3 million for the same period of 2025.

Basic and Diluted Net Income/(Loss) Per Ordinary Share
Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share both were RMB1.22 (US$0.18) for H1 2026 as compared to net income per ordinary share of RMB0.04 for the same period of 2025.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income/(Loss)
Non-GAAP adjusted net loss was RMB143.3 million (US$21.1million) for H1 2026 as compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income of RMB8.4 million for the same period of 2025.

Non-GAAP Basic and Diluted Net Income/(Loss) Per Ordinary Share
Non-GAAP adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was RMB1.18 (US$0.17) for H1 2026 as compared to non-GAAP adjusted basic and diluted net income per ordinary share of RMB0.07 for the same period of 2025. Each ADS represents two of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares.

Cash position
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, in an aggregate amount of RMB461.1 million (US$68.0 million), compared to RMB489.2 million as of December 31, 2025. Management expects the Company to have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and continue its planned activities for at least the next twelve months from the date the unaudited financial statements are issued.

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, financial condition and results of operations, including our plan for commercializing the new mining ASIC, performing extended cost optimization, evaluating AI-adjacent growth and M&A and investing strategies regarding our cryptocurrency assets; (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; (ix) ADS repurchases under the share repurchase program and the adoption of Rule 10b5-1 plans and (x) 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, including its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on April 13, 2026.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the Company’s business, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share, 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 adjusted basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the applicable weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company believes that these 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 (loss), basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. One of the key limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and are not reflected in the non-GAAP financial measures. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures 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 measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.
