Total computing power sold was 26.0 million TH/s, representing a year-over-year increase of 32.6% from 19.6 million TH/s in 2023.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was a loss of US$71.5 million, narrowing 73.9% year-over-year.

Nangeng Zhang, chairman, and chief executive officer of Canaan, commented, “We closed out 2024 on a strong note, delivering robust results in the fourth quarter that exceeded our guidance, with total revenue reaching US$88.8 million. This outstanding top-line performance was primarily driven by the large-scale delivery of our latest A15 series, which contributed to a record-breaking 9.1 million TH/s in total computing power sold. Simultaneously, our mining operations capitalized on the favorable bitcoin price environment in Q4, achieving a remarkable 186 bitcoins mined and generating US$15.3 million in mining revenue, marking a sequential increase of 70.7%. Recently, we further expanded 4.7EH/s for our mining operations in North America through two new projects in Pennsylvania and Texas.

“Looking back on the past year, we remained steadfast in our commitment to delivering high-quality, customized mining solutions, such as our high-performance A15 series and the dual-function Avalon Home Series, catering to a diverse global customer base. In key markets like North America, we strengthened our local presence and established strategic partnerships with leading publicly listed mining companies, enhancing our brand recognition and market share. Despite navigating complex regulatory landscapes and shifting market conditions, we made significant progress in expanding our mining hash rate toward our goal of 10EH/s in North America and 15EH/s globally by mid-2025. Meanwhile, we continued to advance our global strategy across research and development, supply chains, production, and logistics to adapt to the evolving compliance environment. With unwavering confidence in Bitcoin‘s long-term potential, we remain dedicated to innovation, operational excellence, and cementing our role as a key player in the Bitcoin ecosystem.”

Jin “James” Cheng, chief financial officer of Canaan, stated, “We achieved excellent results in Q4, with total revenue significantly surpassing our guidance. This exceptional performance was driven by the ramp-up in A15 series bulk deliveries, leading to products revenue of US$73.5 million, a 63.6% year-over-year increase. Our mining business, which serves as our second growth engine, generated US$15.3 million in revenue, up 312.5% year-over-year and 70.7% quarter-over-quarter, while maintaining a highly competitive all-in power cost. This enabled us to accelerate our bitcoin accumulation through mining by leveraging bitcoin price tailwinds in the fourth quarter. As a result, our owned cryptocurrency reached 1,292.5 bitcoins by year-end, reinforcing our financial position. Additionally, due to strong top-line growth and cost optimization, we significantly narrowed our gross loss to US$6.4 million. Although certain non-cash items hit our bottom line, our net loss of US$92.9 million narrowed 33.2% year-over-year, and we achieved EBITDA breakeven and a gain of US$19.3 million in adjusted EBITDA for the quarter.

“The large-scale production and delivery of the A15 series contributed to our cash inflows and optimized our inventory structure as the model became our primary inventory component. As bitcoin prices climbed in Q4, generating fair value gains, our balance sheet was further strengthened, underscoring the advantages of our mining business and our HODL strategy. Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing advanced product deliveries, expanding our mining hash rate, and capitalizing on the anticipated market momentum to enhance our market presence.”

(NASDAQ: MIGI), for joint mining operations at its facility in Midland, Pennsylvania. This expansion in Pennsylvania, together with another recently executed 24-month equipment hosting agreement for bitcoin mining at a facility in Edna, Texas, is expected to add around 4.7 EH/s of computing power to the Company’s mining operations in North America.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating Canaan’s business, the Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding income tax expenses (benefit), interest income, depreciation and amortization expenses, share-based compensation expenses, impairment on property, equipment and software, change in fair value of financial instruments and excess of fair value of Convertible Preferred Shares. 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 loss, 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 EBITDA is that it does not reflect all of the items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. 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.

This agreement aligns with our strategy of optimizing digital infrastructure and compute management capabilities with the latest-generation machines. By combining Canaan’s cutting-edge hardware and Mawson’s digital infrastructure innovation, we expect to create long-term value that will benefit both companies as well as the overall ecosystem,” said Rahul Mewawalla, chief executive officer and president of Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc.

PR Newswire

Spot Debuts Alongside Latest Culinary Innovation with Signature Pizza Hut Flavors Designed to Dip and Dunk Just in Time for March Madness®


PLANO, Texas
, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Some people bring the party. Others bring the pizza. Peter Zahut does both. Set to launch nationwide on March 26 and with a grand debut during the NCAA Sweet 16® on March 27, Peter Zahut kicks off Pizza Hut’s latest brand campaign, embodying the energy and excitement that comes with every Pizza Hut order. Peter Zahut is the ultimate delivery legend who never shows up empty-handed. Whether he’s dropping off a hot pizza or setting up the perfect alley-oop, Peter has a knack for making every moment bigger, better, and a lot more fun. He’s not just delivering pizza—he’s delivering the kind of good times that Pizza Hut is all about.

“This campaign is about more than just shining a spotlight on our great pizza; it’s about spotlighting the good times and big and small moments of joy that come with adding pizza to any occasion,” said Melissa Friebe, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut. “Just like our campaign, our latest culinary innovations are equally as fun.

  • Chipotle Ranch – Smoky and spicy with a bold kick
  • Ultimate Ranch – Creamy and rich, the MVP of the bunch
  • Pepperoni Ranch – A perfect blend of pepperoni flavors and ranch
    • Pepperoni Ranch is flavored with signature pepperoni spices, flavors, and herbs (does not contain pepperoni).

“As we bring back Cheesy Bites Pizza, we wanted to take the dipping experience even further,” said Rachel Antalek, Head of Food Innovation at Pizza Hut. “The Ranch Lover’s Flight gives customers three unique ways to enjoy their pizza, making this the ultimate dip-and-dunk experience just in time for March Madness.”

Starting today, customers can order a large one-topping Cheesy Bites Pizza and Ranch Lover’s Flight for a limited time, available for delivery, carryout, or dine-in at participating Pizza Hut locations nationwide**.

(Nasdaq: IDYA), a leading precision medicine oncology company, today announced the publication of abstracts for an oral presentation in the New Drugs on the Horizon series, and three poster presentations on IDE275 (GSK959) at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, taking place April 25-30, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois. IDE275 (GSK959), a potential best-in-class Werner Helicase (WRN) inhibitor, has demonstrated selective preclinical efficacy in the high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) solid tumor setting, and is advancing in a Phase 1 dose escalation trial in partnership with GSK.

“IDE275 (GSK959) has a potential best-in-class profile and the preclinical data to be presented at AACR 2025 with GSK highlights the molecule’s selectivity to treat MSI-H solid tumors and potential to be developed clinically as both a monotherapy agent and in combination with PD1,” said Yujiro S. Hata, President and Chief Executive Officer, IDEAYA Biosciences. “MSI-H represents a meaningful biomarker-defined population with double-digit percent prevalence observed in multiple solid tumor types, including endometrial, colorectal, and gastric cancers. By binding uniquely to the helicase domain of WRN, IDE275 (GSK959) delivers potent and selective inhibition across MSI-H models,” said Michael White, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, IDEAYA Biosciences.

IDE275 (GSK959) was discovered through a collaboration between IDEAYA and GSK. Preclinical studies have demonstrated IDE275’s (GSK959) potential as a best-in-class WRN inhibitor, inducing single-agent tumor regressions in MSI-H patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) models for endometrial, colorectal, and gastric cancers. Notably, MSI-H prevalence in these cancers has been reported at approximately 31%, 20%, and 19%, respectively, underscoring the significant patient population that could benefit from this therapeutic approach.

As part of the collaboration, GSK is responsible for 80% of global research and development costs for IDE275 (GSK959), and IDEAYA is responsible for 20% of such costs. GSK holds a global, exclusive license to develop and commercialize IDE275 (GSK959).  IDEAYA has the potential to earn a $10.0 million milestone payment upon initiation of Phase 1 clinical dose expansion. Additionally, IDEAYA is eligible to receive up to $465 million in future late-stage development and regulatory milestone payments. Upon commercialization, IDEAYA will be eligible to receive up to $475.0 million of commercial milestones, 50% of U.S. net profits and tiered royalties on global non-U.S. net sales of the IDE275 (GSK959) – ranging from high single-digit to sub-teen double-digit percentages, subject to certain customary reductions.

At AACR 2025, IDEAYA will have 8 total presentations across 3 clinical and 2 pre-clinical programs.  There will be 4 IDEAYA/GSK presentations of IDE275 (GSK959) and 4 additional presentations across the IDE397/MAT2A, IDE161/PARG, PRMT5, and KAT6/7 programs.

From common ground to making progress with purpose, the inaugural CIBC Ambitions Index explores the heart of Canadian ambitions

Canada NewsWire


TORONTO
, March 26, 2025 /CNW/ – Today, CIBC launched its first annual CIBC Ambitions Index, an in-depth report exploring Canadians’ current goals and ambitions – big or small – across all areas of life.

“At CIBC, we believe that understanding the ambitions of Canadians is essential to fulfilling our purpose of helping make ambitions real,” said Stephen Forbes, Executive Vice-President, Purpose, Brand and Corporate Affairs, CIBC. “The CIBC Ambitions Index not only sheds light on the goals that matter most to Canadians across ages and geographies, but also reinforces our commitment to supporting them on their journeys towards achieving those ambitions.”

Annually, the CIBC Ambitions Index will track the goals and ambitions of Canadians, the progress they’ve made, and what’s holding them back. The index builds a clear view of what matters most to Canadians and where their efforts are focused at different stages in life. While money and finances play a role in achieving ambition, this report explores all aspects of Canadians’ ambitions, including health and wellness, personal relationships, travel and leisure, pursuing a passion, education and learning, career development, social impact and environmental sustainability.

In recent years, Canadians have been navigating through ongoing economic and geopolitical instability. Despite continued uncertainty, however, as we arrive at the quarter century Canadians have some positive reflections on their ambitions and their efforts to achieve them. In fact, 78% of Canadians say their ambitions have gained importance in light of current economic challenges.

Key takeaways from the inaugural report include:


  • Common ground

    : From coast to coast and across generations, Canadians have many common ambitions – with goals in the areas of health and wellness (57%), financial stability and growth (54%), and personal relationships with family and friends (49%) topping the list nationally. This demonstrates a balanced approach of blending practical ambitions with those more personal and meaningful.

  • Progress with purpose

    : Despite uncertainties, Canadians are making headway. 68% made progress towards their ambition in the last year and three in four Canadians are happy with the progress they’ve made. But the quest for quicker results is palpable as 58% are only somewhat satisfied with the progress they’ve made. 61% are optimistic about unlocking more achievements next year.

  • Canadians’ view of wellness is evolving:
    Canadians are prioritizing their personal well-being and work-life balance over a commitment to career advancement. 91% of Canadians state that a balanced work-life lifestyle is essential to happiness, while fewer than half (49%) express a commitment to career advancement. 91% also say maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial to their overall wellbeing, and 85% prioritize their physical health and regularly engage in fitness activities.

  • Celebrate your success

    : Those who plan, review and celebrate their journey are more likely to advance their ambitions, yet many aren’t doing this. At least quarterly, only 35% of Canadians set goals, 40% review their progress, and only 29% celebrate their milestones.

The inaugural CIBC Ambitions Index serves as a vital resource for understanding Canadian ambitions. This report not only highlights the common threads that unite us but also illustrates the unique differences. In future years, it will help reveal the evolving landscape and key trends that define our ambitions. As CIBC continues to support Canadians in their pursuit of their goals, we remain committed to providing the tools, resources, and guidance necessary to help individuals navigate their journeys.

Disclaimer

The findings are from an Ipsos poll conducted between October 10 and 17, 2024, on behalf of CIBC. For this survey, a sample of 2,500 Canadians aged 18+ were interviewed. Sample was sourced from the Ipsos panel. Weighting was employed to balance demographics to ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the adult population according to Census data and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. The precision of Ipsos polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within ±2.4 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all Canadians been polled. The credibility interval will be wider among subsets of the population.

Note: Ipsos conducted a validation poll in February 2025 for CIBC to verify the original study’s findings amid recent economic and geopolitical shifts. The survey interviewed 1,000 Canadian adults (18+) between February 13-18, 2025, using a sample from the Ipsos panel. Demographic weighting was applied to ensure the sample accurately represents the adult population as per Census data.

BRP PRESENTS ITS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2025 RESULTS

PR Newswire

Highlights
 for FY25 Q4

  • As expected, revenues of $2,097.6 million, a decrease of 19.7% compared to last year, resulting from continued softer demand and the Company’s objective to reduce network inventory;
  • Net loss of $44.5 million, a decrease of 114.7% compared to last year;
  • Normalized EBITDA [1] of $239.8 million, a decrease of 44.6% compared to last year;

  • North American retail sales decreased by 21% compared to last year, resulting from lower industry volumes in Snowmobile and market share loss in Off-Road Vehicles due to high non-current inventory from other OEMs;
  • The Company increased its quarterly dividend to $0.215 per share.

Highlights for FY25

  • Revenues of $7,829.7 million, a decrease of 21.4% compared to last year;
  • Achieved revised FY25 guidance adjusted for Marine businesses discontinued operations with Normalized diluted earnings per share [1] [2] of $4.68;
  • Provided shareholder returns through $277.0 million deployed in share repurchases and dividend payments;
  • North American network inventory decreased by 13% compared to last year, or 18% when excluding snowmobiles for which network inventory increased due to lower industry retail caused by late snowfall.

Fiscal 2026 full-year guidance

  • Given the ongoing global tariff disputes and the uncertainty surrounding any potential changes to trade regulations, the Company has decided to defer providing financial guidance for FY26. This uncertainty has also had a negative impact on consumer demand, making it difficult to offer reliable projections at this time.


VALCOURT, QC
, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO) today reported its financial results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended January 31, 2025. All financial information is in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. The complete financial results are available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR as well as in the section Quarterly Reports of BRP’s website.

“BRP demonstrated its agility throughout fiscal 2025 by rapidly adapting to softer market conditions. We were the first OEM to proactively adjust shipments to reduce network inventory and we have achieved our objective. As anticipated, our leaner inventory position compared to competitors resulted in short-term market share loss but protected our dealer network and the value of our brands. In this volatile context, we have outpaced the off-road industry with our current models, which speaks highly about the attractiveness of our lineups,” said José Boisjoli, President and CEO of BRP.

“Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, the ongoing global tariff disputes have created economic uncertainty, making financial projections more challenging at this time. Over the longer term, our strategic decision to double down on Powersports should allow us to solidify our industry leadership by pushing innovation further and capitalizing on growth opportunities. With a product portfolio that is second-to-none, a strong dealer network and a healthy balance sheet, we are well positioned to sustain profitable growth,” concluded Mr. Boisjoli.

FOURTH QUARTER
RESULTS

In the context of continued softer demand and the Company’s objective to reduce network inventory, its three-month period ended January 31, 2025 was marked by a decrease in the volume of shipments and revenues compared to the same period last year. The decrease in the volume of shipments, the higher sales programs due to increased promotional intensity and the decreased leverage of fixed costs as a result of reduced production have led to a decrease in the gross profit and gross profit margin compared to the same period last year. This decrease was partially offset by favourable pricing and production efficiencies.

The Company’s North American retail sales were down 21% for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025. The decrease is mainly explained by lower industry volumes in Snowmobile and market share loss in Off-Road Vehicles due to high non-current inventory from other OEMs.

Revenues
Revenues decreased by $513.9 million, or 19.7%, to $2,097.6 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $2,611.5 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2024. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a lower volume sold across all product lines, as a result of softer demand, as well as higher sales programs. The decrease was partially offset by favourable pricing across most product lines. The decrease includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $33 million.

  • Year-Round Products (54% of Q4-FY25 revenues): Revenues from Year-Round Products decreased by $236.8 million, or 17.4%, to $1,127.1 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $1,363.9 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2024. The decrease in revenues from Year-Round Products was primarily attributable to a lower volume of units sold across all product lines as a result of softer demand, unfavourable product mix in SSV and higher sales programs. The decrease was partially offset by favourable pricing across all product lines. The decrease includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $26 million.
  • Seasonal Products (32% of Q4-FY25 revenues): Revenues from Seasonal Products decreased by $275.0 million, or 28.9%, to $677.6 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $952.6 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2024. The decrease in revenues from Seasonal Products was primarily attributable to a lower volume of units sold across all product lines as a result of softer demand, unfavourable product mix in Snowmobile and higher sales programs. The decrease was partially offset by favourable product mix on PWC and Sea-Doo pontoon, as well as favourable pricing across all product lines. The decrease includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $2 million.
  • PA&A and OEM Engines (14% of Q4-FY25 revenues): Revenues from PA&A and OEM Engines decreased by $2.1 million, or 0.7%, to $292.9 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $295.0 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2024. The decrease in revenues from PA&A and OEM engines was primarily attributable to softer demand in PA&A. The decrease was partially offset by favourable product mix on OEM engines and favourable pricing on most product lines. The decrease also includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $5 million.

North American Retail Sales

The Company’s North American retail sales decreased by 21% for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025 compared to the same period last year. The decrease is mainly explained by lower industry volumes in Snowmobile and market share loss in Off-Road Vehicles due to high non-current inventory from other OEMs.

  • North American Year-Round Products retail sales decreased on a percentage basis in the low-teens range compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2024. The North American Year-Round Products industry sales decreased on a percentage basis in the low-single digits over the same period.
  • North American Seasonal Products retail sales decreased on a percentage basis in the low-thirties range compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2024. The North American Seasonal Products industry sales decreased on a percentage basis in the mid-twenties range over the same period.

Gross profit
Gross profit decreased by $231.1 million, or 35.0%, to $429.4 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $660.5 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2024. Gross profit margin percentage decreased by 480 basis points to 20.5% for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to 25.3% for the three-month period ended January 31, 2024. The decreases in gross profit and gross profit margin percentage were the result of a lower volume of units sold, higher sales programs, decreased leverage of fixed costs as a result of reduced production, and higher warranty costs. The decreases were partially offset by favourable pricing across most product lines and production efficiencies. The decrease in gross profit includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $2 million.

Operating
Expenses
Operating expenses decreased by $12.8 million, or 3.9%, to $317.4 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $330.2 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2024. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly attributable to lower G&A expenses due to cost optimization and lower R&D expenses. The decrease was partially offset by higher restructuring and reorganization costs. The decrease in operating expenses includes an unfavourable foreign exchange rate variation of $9 million.

Normalized EBITDA
[1]

Normalized EBITDA [1] decreased by $192.8 million, or 44.6%, to $239.8 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $432.6 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2024. The decrease in normalized EBITDA [1] was primarily due to lower gross profit.

Net Income (Loss)
Net income (loss) decreased by $347.3 million, or 114.7%, to $(44.5) million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $302.8 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2024. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a lower operating income, resulting from a lower gross profit and an unfavourable foreign exchange rate variation on the U.S. denominated long-term debt. The decrease was partially offset by a lower income tax expense.

Net Loss from Discontinued Operations
Net loss increased by $60.2 million, or 52.4%, to $(175.1) million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $(114.9) million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2024. The increase in net loss was primarily due to an impairment charge taken on the Marine businesses assets held for sale during the three-month period ended January 31, 2025.

TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 31, 2025

Revenues
Revenues decreased by $2,133.3 million, or 21.4%, to $7,829.7 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $9,963.0 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2024. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a lower volume sold across all product lines, as a result of softer demand, the Company’s focus on reducing network inventory levels, as well as higher sales programs. The decrease was partially offset by favourable product mix across most product lines and favourable pricing across all product lines. The decrease includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $94 million.

Normalized EBITDA
[1]

Normalized EBITDA [1] decreased by $753.2 million, or 42.0%, to $1,040.0 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $1,793.2 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2024. The decrease in Normalized EBITDA [1] was primarily due to a lower gross profit.

Net Income
Net income decreased by $869.0 million, or 93.3%, to $62.7 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $931.7 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2024. The decrease in net income was primarily due to lower operating income, resulting from a lower gross profit and an unfavourable foreign exchange rate variation on the U.S. denominated long-term debt. The decrease was partially offset by a lower income tax expense.

Net Loss from Discontinued Operations
Net loss increased by $88.5 million, or 47.3%, to $(275.7) million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2025, compared to $(187.2) million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2024. The increase in net loss was primarily due to higher operating loss resulting from a lower volume of units sold due to high network inventory and softer consumer demand in the industry. Higher sales programs, production inefficiencies and an impairment charge on the Marine businesses assets held for sale also contributed to the increase in net loss.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Consolidated net cash flows generated from operating activities totaled $740.1 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2025 compared to $1,658.1 million generated for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to lower profitability and unfavourable changes in working capital, partially offset by lower income taxes paid. Changes in working capital were the result of maintaining higher provisions, compared to last year where more provisions were created due to a slowdown in demand and a sustained promotional intensity in the industry. The unfavourable changes in working capital were also the result of a reduction in trade payables and accruals, which reflected reduced production. The unfavourable changes in working capital were partially offset by a reduction in inventory levels.

The Company invested $425.5 million of its liquidity in capital expenditures for the introduction of new products and modernization of the Company’s software infrastructure to support future growth.

During the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2025, the Company also returned $277.0 million to its shareholders through quarterly dividend payouts and its share repurchase programs.

Dividend
On March 25, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.215 per share for holders of its multiple voting shares and subordinate voting shares. The dividend will be paid on April 18, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 4, 2025.

Many  factors could cause the Corporation’s actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements or future events or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the following factors, which are discussed in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” of the Corporation’s management’s discussion and analysis for Fiscal 2025 (“the 2025 MD&A”) for the fiscal year ended on January 31, 2025 and in other continuous disclosure materials filed from time to time with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the Securities and Exchange Commission: the impact of adverse economic conditions including in the context of easing but still elevated interest and inflation rates; any decline in social acceptability of the Corporation and its products, including in connection with the broader adoption of electrical or low-emission products; high levels of indebtedness; any unavailability of additional capital; any supply problems, termination or interruption of supply arrangements or increases in the cost of materials; the inability to attract, hire and retain key employees, including members of the Corporation’s management team or employees who possess specialized market knowledge and technical skills; any failure of information technology systems, security breach or cyber-attack, or difficulties with the implementation of new systems, including the difficulties in the continued implementation of its ERP system; the Corporation’s reliance on international sales and operations including heightened concerns for global trade tensions with escalation in tariffs and other retaliatory measures; the Corporation’s inability to successfully execute its growth strategy; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; unfavourable weather conditions and climate change more generally; the  seasonal nature of the Corporation’s business and some of its products; the Corporation’s reliance on a network of independent dealers and distributors; any inability of dealers and distributors to secure adequate access to capital; any inability to comply with product safety, health, environmental, privacy matters and noise pollution laws; the Corporation’s large fixed cost base; any failure to compete effectively against competitors or any failure to meet consumers’ evolving expectations; any failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting and to produce accurate and timely financial statements; any inability to maintain and enhance the Corporation’s reputation and brands; any significant product liability claim; any significant product repair and/or replacement due to product warranty claims or product recalls; any failure to carry proper insurance coverage; the Corporation’s inability to successfully manage inventory levels; any intellectual property infringement and litigation; the Corporation’s inability to successfully execute its manufacturing strategy or to adjust to fluctuating customer demand as a result of manufacturing capacity constraints; increased freight and shipping costs or disruptions in transportation and shipping infrastructure; any failure to comply with covenants in financing and other material agreements; any changes in tax laws and unanticipated tax liabilities; any impairment in the carrying value of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful life and trademarks; any deterioration in relationships with employees; pension plan liabilities; natural disasters; volatility in the market price for the Subordinate Voting Shares; the Corporation’s conduct of business through subsidiaries; the significant influence of Beaudier Group and Bain Capital; and future sales of Subordinate Voting Shares by Beaudier Group, Bain Capital, directors, officers or senior management of the Corporation. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect the Corporation; however, these factors should be considered carefully. Unless otherwise stated, the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this press release and the Company has no intention and undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events, changes in circumstances, or changes in beliefs, unless required by applicable securities regulations. In the event that the Company does update any forward-looking statements contained in this press release, no inference should be made that the Company will make additional updates with respect to that statement, related matters or any other forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.


KEY ASSUMPTIONS

The Company made a number of economic, market and operational assumptions in preparing and making certain forward-looking statements contained in this Press Release, including without limitation the following assumptions: softer industries in both Seasonal and Year-Round Products and a continuously challenging macroeconomic environment; expected market share volatility; main currencies in which the Company operates will remain at near current levels; levels of inflation, which are expected to continue to ease; there will be no significant changes in tax laws or treaties applicable to the Company; the Company’s margins are expected to continue to be pressured by lower volumes; the supply base will remain able to support product development and planned production rates on commercially acceptable terms in a timely manner; the absence of unusually adverse weather conditions, especially in peak seasons. BRP cautions that its assumptions may not materialize, and that the currently challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environment in which it evolves may render such assumptions, although believed reasonable at the time they were made, subject to greater uncertainty. Specifically, these assumptions do not incorporate the imposition of wide-ranging U.S. tariffs on all imports from Canada and Mexico and potential retaliatory tariffs. Given the fast-evolving situation and the high degree of uncertainty around the duration of a potential trade war, it is difficult to predict how the effects would flow through the economy. New tariffs could significantly affect the outlooks for economic growth
, consumer spending, inflation and the Canadian dollar.


NON-IFRS MEASURES

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses non-IFRS measures including the following:


Non-IFRS measures


Definition


Reason for use

Normalized EBITDA

Net income before financing costs, financing income, income tax expense (recovery), depreciation expense and normalized elements.

Assist investors in determining the financial performance of the Company’s operating activities on a consistent basis by excluding certain non-cash elements such as depreciation expense, impairment charge, foreign exchange gain or loss on the Company’s long-term debt denominated in U.S. dollars and foreign exchange gain or loss on certain of the Company’s lease liabilities. Other elements, such as restructuring and wind-down costs, non-recurring gain or loss and acquisition-related costs, may be excluded from net income in the determination of Normalized EBITDA as they are considered not being reflective of the operational performance of the Company.

Normalized net income

Net income before normalized elements adjusted to reflect the tax effect on these elements

In addition to the financial performance of operating activities, this measure considers the impact of investing activities, financing activities and income taxes on the Company’s financial results.

Normalized income tax expense

Income tax expense adjusted to reflect the tax effect on normalized elements and to normalize specific tax elements

Assist investors in determining the tax expense relating to the normalized items explained above, as they are considered not being reflective of the operational performance of the Company.

Normalized effective tax rate

Based on Normalized net income before Normalized income tax expense

Assist investors in determining the effective tax rate including the normalized items explained above, as they are considered not being reflective of the operational performance of the Company.

Normalized earnings per share – diluted

Calculated by dividing the Normalized net income by the weighted average number of shares – diluted

Assist investors in determining the normalized financial performance of the Company’s activities on a per share basis.

Free cash flow

Cash flows from operating activities less additions to PP&E and intangible assets

Assist investors in assessing the Company’s liquidity generation abilities that could be available for shareholders, debt repayment and business combination, after capital expenditure

The Company believes non-IFRS measures are important supplemental measures of financial performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on the Company’s financial performance and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of companies, many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. Management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate financial performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets, assess the Company’s ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements and also as a component in the determination of the short-term incentive compensation for the Company’s employees. Because other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently than the Company does, these metrics are not comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. 

The Company refers the reader to the tables below for the reconciliations of the non-IFRS measures presented by the Company to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Cango Inc. Announces Extension of Deadline to Close Share-Settled Crypto Mining Assets Acquisitions

PR Newswire


SHANGHAI
, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) (“Cango” or the “Company”) today announced an extension of the deadline to close its proposed acquisitions of on-rack crypto mining machines with an aggregate hashrate of 18 Exahash per second (“EH”) through issuance of Class A ordinary shares of the Company to the sellers (the “Share-Settled Transactions”). The Company announced signing of the On-Rack Sales and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the Share-Settled Transactions on November 6, 2024, which contemplated closing of the Share-Settled Transactions by March 31, 2025 (the “Long Stop Date”). The Company announced on March 14, 2025 that it received a preliminary non-binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) from Enduring Wealth Capital Limited (“EWCL”), which proposed acquisition of control of the Company by EWCL and disposal of the Company’s existing business in the PRC to a buyer introduced by EWCL. As the transactions proposed in the Letter of Intent may affect certain provisions in the Purchase Agreement, the Company reached an amendment agreement with the sellers for the Share-Settled Transactions on March 25, 2025 for the sole purpose of extending the Long Stop Date to July 31, 2025 so that the Company and the sellers have sufficient time to assess the necessity of any further revisions to the Purchase Agreement if the Company decides to pursue any of the transactions proposed in the Letter of Intent.

As previously announced by the Company, the Company completed the acquisition of on-rack crypto mining machines with an aggregate hashrate of 32EH for a total purchase price of US$256 million in cash, or the Cash-Settled Transaction, on November 15, 2024. The closing of the Share-Settled Transactions is subject to certain closing conditions that are yet to be satisfied or waived and the Company is working with the relevant parties towards the closing of the Share-Settled Transactions. There can be no assurance that the closing conditions will be satisfied nor that the Share-Settled Transactions will be completed before the extended Long Stop Date or at all.

Ziihera® is the first and only dual HER2-targeted bispecific antibody approved for HER2-positive BTC in the U.S. Zanidatamab is currently under regulatory review in the EU and China for second-line BTC and is being evaluated in multiple global clinical trials as a potential best-in-class treatment for patients with multiple HER2-expressing cancers. Zymeworks is rapidly advancing a robust pipeline of wholly-owned product candidates, leveraging its expertise in both antibody-drug conjugates and multispecific antibody therapeutics targeting novel pathways in areas of significant unmet medical need. Phase 1 studies for ZW171 and ZW191 are now actively recruiting with an investigational new drug application for ZW251 planned for mid-2025. In addition to Zymeworks’ pipeline, its therapeutic platforms have been further leveraged through strategic partnerships with global biopharmaceutical companies.
