Report Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Intchains Group Limited
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Intchains Group Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Revision of the 2023 Financial Statements
We have audited the adjustments as described in Note 2(af), and corresponding revisions to the Note 2(g), Note 4 and Note 8 regarding the adjustments. The 2023 consolidated financial statements have been revised to correct the classification of cash and cash equivalents to short-term and long-term investments. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. However, we were not engaged to audit, review or apply any procedures to the 2023 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to such disclosures and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2023 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
We have also audited the adjustments to the 2022 and 2023 consolidated financial statements to retrospectively apply the change in accounting for ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, discussed in Note 2(ag) and Note 22. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2022 and 2023 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2022 and 2023 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The consolidated financial statements before the effects of the adjustments discussed in Note 2(ag), Note 22, and Note 2(g), Note 2(af), Note 4 and Note 8, are not presented herein. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements, before the effects of the adjustments described in Notes 2(ag) and Note 22, Note 2(g), Note 2(af), Note 4 and Note 8, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the
two-year
period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
