Greenland Technologies (NASDAQ: GTEC)

First Quarter 2023 Financial and Operating Highlights

Revenue was $22.1 million,compared with $29.3 million a year ago.

Gross marginwas 24.9%,up 320 basis point from 21.7% a year ago on improved product mix.

Net income was $2.5 million,compared with $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Transmissions products sold were 36,841 units,compared with 41,902 units last year.

Mr. Raymond Wang,Chief Executive Officer of Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation,commented,"We delivered results in line with our expectations. Demand remained soft in the first quarter as a result of our clients ramping up their production after the end of China's zero COVID policies and significant pent-up travel demand during this year's Chinese New Year holiday. However we continued to drive higher profitability through improved mix of higher value products and increased operational efficiencies. We expect demand to improve in the second half of the year and continue to anticipate revenue growth for our core transmission business in 2023."

Mr. Wang continued,"Our HEVI division of all-electric industrial heavy equipment continues to make progress in establishing our foundation,expanding market awareness and developing the team. I am pleased to announce that we have hired Dana Hopkins to lead our HEVI division as the Chief Operating Officer. Dana brings extensive senior leadership experience in the commercial industrial and material handling machinery industry and will be instrumental in helping us grow this new market and HEVI's industry-leading position. Brand awareness and product interest continues to grow from potential customers,partners or authorities through our active participation in a series of trade shows along with our ongoing product pilots and demos. Overall,we believe 2023 will be a strong year for our company."

Mr. Jing Jin,Chief Financial Officer of Greenland,commented: "Our strategic shift towards higher value and more sophisticated transmission products continued to improve profitability,highlighted by a 320-basis point increase in gross margin year-over-year to 24.9% in the first quarter. This is a testament to our leadership position in the industry and effectiveness of our business strategies. Meanwhile,we've been focusing on cost management and operational efficiency while also continuing to invest in the HEVI infrastructure,talent,and technology in order to drive long-term growth. Finally,we maintained a robust balance sheet with $15.4 million cash on hand,up 125% from a year ago. With a solid balance sheet and growth strategies,we are confident in our ability to grow both core transmission business as well as our HEVI division and create significant value for shareholders."

First Quarter2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $22.1 million,a decrease of 24% from $29.3 million in the first quarter of 2022,primarily due to logistical and supply chain challenges due to the initial wave of covid cases following the end of China's zero covid policies and significant pent-up demand related travel during this year's Chinese New Year holiday. In addition,revenue was impacted by a stronger dollar relative to the Chinese RMB. On an RMB basis,excluding the impact of FX,total revenues decreased by approximately 18% from the first quarter of 2022. The number of transmission products sold was 36,902 units in the first quarter of 2022.

Costs of goods sold were $16.6 million,a decrease of 28% from $22.9 million in the first quarter of 2022,primarily due to the decrease in sales volume.

Gross profit was $5.5 million,compared with $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. Gross margin was 24.9%,up 320 basis points from 21.7% in the first quarter of 2022,as a result of a strategic shift in Greenland's product mix towards higher value,and more sophisticated products,such as hydraulic transmissions.

Total operating expenses were $3.1 million,compared with $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Company has focused on significantly streamlining costs over the past year,which has mostly offset increases in R&D investment and marketing activities related to the company's expansion.

Income from operations was $2.4 million,compared with $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Net income was $2.5 million,compared with net income of $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share were both $0.11,compared with $0.16 per ordinary share in the first quarter of 2022.
