**Exhibit 99.1**

**Canaan Inc. Reports Unaudited Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results**

***- Achieves Record-high Bitcoin Mining Computing Power of 3.8EH/s Installed as of February-end 2023 -***

BEIJING, March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) ("Canaan" or the "Company"), a leading high-performance computing solutions provider, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

**Fourth Quarter 2022 Operating and Financial Highlights**

**Total computing power sold** was 1.9 million Thash/s, representing a decrease of 45.8% from 3.5 million Thash/s in the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 75.8% from 7.7 million Thash/s in the same period of 2021.

**Revenues** were RMB391.9 million (US$56.8 million), representing a decrease of 59.9% from RMB978.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 82.1% from RMB2,184.6 million in the same period of 2021.

**Mining revenue** was RMB72.2 million (US$10.5 million), representing an increase of 16.3% from RMB62.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of 368.2% from RMB15.4 million in the same period of 2021.

**Full Year 2022 Operating and Financial Highlights**

**Total computing power sold** was 15.1 million Thash/s, representing a year-over-year decrease of 32.4% from 22.3 million Thash/s in 2021.

**Revenues** were RMB4,378.9 million (US$634.9 million), compared to RMB4,986.7 million in 2021.

**Mining revenue** was RMB218.6 million (US$31.7 million), compared to RMB21.7 million in 2021.

Mr. Nangeng Zhang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Canaan, commented, "We went through a tough fourth quarter as the further sinking bitcoin price during the quarter led to lackluster market demand for mining machines as we expected. Amidst the hard time, we delivered topline results of RMB392 million, exceeding our previous guidance range, thanks to our improved mining business operation and our constant exploration of clients' needs. To mitigate demand risks during the market downturn, we have been diligently improving and developing our mining business. Our efforts yielded more progress in early 2023 with 3.8 EH/s hash rate installed<sup>1</sup> for mining as of the end of February. We strive to endure the present arduous period while simultaneously positioning ourselves for the market's resurgence. Accordingly, we have made decisive investments in bolstering our production capacity and expanding our mining operations to more varied geographic regions that offer advantageous conditions. We believe the growth of these high-quality assets will bring us tremendous bitcoin rewards and substantially appreciate in value when the bitcoin price increases."

"Despite the challenging market environment, 2022 was a notable year of milestones for our company. We expanded globally and established overseas supply chains and headquarters in Singapore. Our teams gained experience in operating our mining business in various overseas locations. We have also debuted our new mining machine series incorporating the latest cutting-edge process node, driving our computing power and efficiency to a new level. Leveraging our extensive understanding of the industry cycle, along with our talented team and valuable experience accumulated over the years, we are confident of overcoming challenges and capturing more market opportunities in the rising bitcoin cycle," Mr. Zhang concluded.

Mr. James Jin Cheng, Chief Financial Officer of Canaan, stated, "In the fourth quarter of 2022, we achieved better-than-expected total revenues under the severe conditions of low bitcoin price and weak sales demand. Due to improved power supply and better mining operations, revenue from this segment further grew 16% sequentially to RMB72 million, contributing to 18.4% of our topline for the quarter. Our gross loss was partially due to greater depreciation as a result of our growing bitcoin mining fleet. Considering very soft market demand and low selling price, we incurred an additional inventory write-down of RMB205.3 million, which also dampened our gross margin. In conjunction with one-time higher research and development expenses relating to the tape-out for our A13 series, our bottom line suffered losses during the quarter. In preparation for the approaching cyclical upswing in the bitcoin price, we made substantial prepayments to secure wafer production capacity in support of our continued mining scale growth and machine sales. Our enhanced mining machines, wafer supplies, and prepayments demonstrate our investment in key strategies to deploy our computing power in advance, capitalizing on market opportunities to come."

\*Note:

1. Installed Hash Rate (EH/s) is defined as the sum of energized hash rates that are already in operation and hash rates that have been installed on shelves but are not yet energized and connected online. Hash rates are estimates based on the specifications of the Company's *Avalonmade* mining machines. All figures are rounded.

**Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results**

**Revenues** in the fourth quarter of 2022 were RMB391.9 million (US$56.8 million), representing a decrease of 59.9% from RMB978.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 82.1% from RMB2,184.6 million in the same period of 2021.

**Products revenue** in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB319.6 million (US$46.3 million), representing a decrease of 65.1% from RMB916.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 85.3% from RMB2,168.9 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease compared to the third quarter of 2022 and compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 were mainly due to the decrease in total computing power sold and the lower selling price, which resulted from the declined bitcoin price. AI product revenue decreased from RMB2.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB1.6 million (US$0.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022.

**Mining revenue** in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB72.2 million (US$10.5 million), representing an increase of 16.3% from RMB62.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of 368.2% from RMB15.4 million in the same period of 2021. The increases in mining revenue over the third quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2021 were mainly attributable to the increased computing power energized for mining.

**Cost of revenues** in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB622.8 million (US$90.3 million), representing a decrease of 17.9% from RMB758.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 10.7% from RMB697.6 million in the same period of 2021. The sequential and year-over-year decreases in cost of revenues were in-line with the decrease of product revenue and were partially offset by RMB205.3 million of inventory write-down recorded and RMB74.9 million of depreciation for mining machines deployed for the Company's mining business in the fourth quarter of 2022.

**Gross loss** in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB230.9 million (US$33.5 million), compared to a gross profit of RMB219.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a gross profit of RMB1,486.9 million in the same period of 2021.

**Total operating expenses** in the fourth quarter of 2022 were RMB393.5 million (US$57.0 million), representing an increase of 43.1% from RMB275.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of 43.8% from RMB273.7 million in the same period of 2021.

Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 were RMB223.5 million (US$32.4million), representing an increase of 89.3% from RMB118.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of 99.5% from RMB112.0 million in the same period of 2021. The sequential increase was primarily attributable to RMB96.0 million one-off research and development expenditure for A13 series products. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increased research and development costs for new products and increased staff costs in technology-related departments, partially offset by decreased share-based compensation expenses. Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 also included share-based compensation expenses of RMB14.1 million (US$2.1 million).

Sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 were RMB7.6 million (US$1.1 million), representing a decrease of 46.5% from RMB14.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 75.2% from RMB30.7 million in the same period of 2021. The sequential and year-over-year decreases were mainly due to decreased staff costs. Sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 also included share-based compensation expenses of RMB4.4 million (US$0.6 million).

General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 were RMB162.4 million (US$23.5 million), representing an increase of 13.8% from RMB142.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of 24.0% from RMB131.0 million in the same period of 2021. The sequential increase was mainly due to increased staff costs, partially offset by decreased share-based compensation expenses. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to increased share-based compensation expenses and office expenses, which were partially offset by decreased staff costs. General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 also included share-based compensation expenses of RMB77.6 million (US$11.3 million).

**Loss from operations** in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB624.4 million (US$90.5 million), compared to a loss from operations of RMB55.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 and an income from operations of RMB1,213.2 million in the same period of 2021.

**Non-GAAP loss from operations** in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB527.8 million (US$76.5 million), compared to a non-GAAP income from operations of RMB49.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a non-GAAP income from operations of RMB1,289.6 million in the same period of 2021. Non-GAAP (loss)/income from operations excludes share-based compensation expenses. For further information, please refer to "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this press release.

**Foreign exchange gains, net** in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB26.6 million (US$3.9 million), compared with a gain of RMB101.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a gain of RMB4.2 million in the same period of 2021, respectively. The foreign exchange gains were due to the US dollar appreciation against the Renminbi since the second quarter of 2022.

**Net loss** in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB438.3 million (US$63.6 million), compared to a net income of RMB46.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a net income of RMB1,196.5 million in the same period of 2021.

**Non-GAAP adjusted net loss** in the fourth quarter of 2022 was RMB341.8 million (US$49.6 million), compared to a non-GAAP adjusted net income of RMB151.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a non-GAAP adjusted net income of RMB1,250.7 million in the same period of 2021.

**Exchange Rate Information**

This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars ("US$") at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise stated, all translations from RMB to US$ were made at the rate of RMB6.8972 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on December 30, 2022, in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. The Company makes no representation that the RMB or US$ amounts referred could be converted into US$ or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

**Safe Harbor Statement**

This announcement contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements. Among other things, the business outlook and quotations from management in this announcement, as well as Canaan Inc.'s strategic and operational plans, contain forward-looking statements. Canaan Inc. may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Forms 20-F and 6-K, in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Canaan Inc.'s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: the Company's goals and strategies; the Company's future business development, financial condition and results of operations; the expected growth of the Bitcoin industry and the price of Bitcoin; the Company's expectations regarding demand for and market acceptance of its products, especially its Bitcoin mining machines; the Company's expectations regarding maintaining and strengthening its relationships with production partners and customers; the Company's investment plans and strategies, fluctuations in the Company's quarterly operating results; competition in its industry in China; and relevant government policies and regulations relating to the Company and cryptocurrency.

All information provided in this press release and in the attachments is as of the date of this press release, and Canaan Inc. does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.

**Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In evaluating Canaan's business, the Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted net income/(loss), 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 change in fair value of warrant liability. 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 and change in fair value of warrant liability have been and may continue to be incurred in Canaan'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.
