EAST WINDSOR,N.J.,May 16,2022 --Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: GTEC) ("Greenland" or the "Company"),a technology developer and manufacturer of electric industrial vehicles and drivetrain systems for material handling machineries and vehicles,today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31,2022.
First Quarter 2022 Financial and Operating Highlights
Total revenues were $29.3 million,an increase of 19% from $24.6 million in the same period of 2021.
Gross margin was 21.7%,an increase of 100 basis points year over year.
Net Income was $2.9 million,an increase of 19% from $2.4 million in the same period of 2021.
Number of transmission products sold was 41,902 units,an increase of 13% compared with 36,986 units in the same period of 2021.
Mr. Raymond Wang,Chief Executive Officer of Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation,commented,"We delivered our highest quarterly revenue to date,as we drove 19% year over year growth in first quarter revenue and a 19% year over year increase in net income. Our team continues to make impressive progress executing on our rapidly expanding industrial electric vehicle product line,while at the same time moving forward with our U.S. production expansion to ensure we have capacity to support the overwhelmingly positive customer response and expected long-term demand."
Mr. Wang added,"Our ongoing strategic shift toward higher-value,feature-rich products helped drive a 100 basis points improvement in gross margin to 21.7%. Additionally,our electric industrial vehicle division is on track with our upcoming assembly facility in Baltimore County,Maryland on schedule for a July opening. Though the industry is facing continued headwinds from the pandemic lockdown in China,we remain optimistic given the long-term transformation of the industrial vehicle industry,led by demand for cleaner,greener electric vehicles and support from local legislation. With our proven track record and expanding product roadmap,we are positioned to address the growing demand for our industrial electric vehicles,as we focus on building increased value for shareholders."
Mr. Jing Jin,Chief Financial Officer of Greenland,commented: "Demand for Greenland's transmission products remained strong,as we leverage our global brand,inventory management and performance track record to partially offset headwinds from higher raw materials and component prices,COVID-19 shutdowns,global inflation,and higher logistics costs. In addition to our strong 19% year over year revenue and 19% year over year net income growth,we further strengthened our balance sheet with a 30% increase in our cash on hand. This gives us added confidence and flexibility,as we continue to prioritize investments in R&D innovation and revenue generation,which we believe will drive Greenland's long-term market share gains in the electric industrial vehicle market and significant value creation for shareholders."
Recent Developments and Strategic Highlights:
Secured Lease On Assembly Facility: Greenland has secured and fully executed a lease on its first assembly facility located in Baltimore County,Maryland. The site is over 54,000 sq ft and will produce over 500 electric heavy equipment units per year when fully operational. Maryland's Governor Larry Hogan noted,"As we continue to invest in new products and technologies,Greenland's vision and growth in electric industrial vehicles will fit in well with our state's innovative ecosystem."
Launched of New HEVI Brand: Greenland has launched a new HEVI brand to encapsule its electric heavy industrial equipment division. This brand replaces Greenland Machinery and better exemplifies the culture and objective of introducing clean and sustainable alternatives to the industrial equipment industry.
Passed Clean Cars Act of Maryland: Greenland supported the passing of HB1391 – Maryland Clean Cars Act of 2022 that will introduce consumer incentives for electric heavy industrial equipment purchases within the state effective July 1,2022.
