Greenland Reports 99.7% YoY Increase in 2Q 2024 Net Income

Drives Gross Margin Stability and Expense Reductions Introduces Incentives to Accelerate Electric Industrial Vehicle Purchases Terminates Planned Spin off its Drivetrain Systems Segment

EAST WINDSOR, N.J., Aug. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — 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 second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Raymond Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Greenland, said, “We achieved a near 100% increase net income in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the year ago period, demonstrating the considerable scalability in our business and the momentum we are building. Our continued focus on expanding growth of our higher profit, higher return on investment opportunities is clearly paying off, which we expect to accelerate as we move forward. We are also strategically expanding our partner ecosystem to make it easier for customers to purchase and operate our electric industrial vehicles. In addition to further expanding our HEVI Authorized Service Provider (“ASP”) national network, we announced an exciting new financing program agreement. Taken together, our growth plans remain firmly on track, which we believe will help us unlock far greater value for shareholders as we continue to successfully execute.”

“In line with our strategic focus and portfolio assessment, on June 28, 2024, the Company’s board of directors held a board meeting, during which the directors of the Company unanimously approved a decision to terminate its previously announced plan of spinning off its drivetrain systems segment. After due diligence review, the Company’s board of directors has identified that the spin-off would likely not generate significant value to its shareholders due to changing market conditions. We have achieved significant milestones over our history as an integrated company and look forward to now working to accelerate growth as still integrated and unified company.”

Jing Jin, Chief Financial Officer of Greenland, commented, “Despite the market fluctuations and challenges, we exited the first half of 2024 in a strong financial position with a healthy balance sheet and positive outlook. We are particularly encouraged with the earnings per share (“EPS”) growth we delivered with an 88.89% increase in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, and an equally impressive 76.67% increase in EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. We do not believe our stock price accurately reflects this strong profit growth, the strength of our core business or the size of the opportunities ahead of us over both the near- and long-term.”

2Q 2024 Financial Highlights

Greenland’s revenue was approximately $23.02 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing a decrease of approximately $0.55 million, or 2.3%, as compared to that of approximately $23.57 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in revenue was primarily a result of the decrease of approximately $1.62 million in the Company’s sales volume of transmission products for the three months ended June 30, 2024. On an Renminbi (“RMB”) basis, Greenland’s revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by approximately 0.9% as compared to that for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Greenland’s gross profit was approximately $6.77 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing a decrease of approximately $0.15 million, or 2.2%, as compared to that of approximately $6.93 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in the Company’s sales volume. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Greenland’s gross margin was approximately 29.4%.

Greenland’s cost of goods sold consists primarily of material costs, freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs, wages, employee compensation, amortization, depreciation and related costs, which are directly attributable to the Company’s manufacturing activities. The write down of inventory using the net realizable value impairment test is also recorded in cost of goods sold. The total cost of goods sold was approximately $16.24 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing a decrease by approximately $0.40 million, or 2.4%, as compared to that of approximately $16.64 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Cost of goods sold decreased due to the decrease in the Company’s sales volume.

Total operating expenses were $2.79 million, a decrease of 20.7% from $3.52 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower shipping fees, staffing costs and general and administrative expenses.

Income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $3.99 million, representing an increase of approximately $0.58 million, as compared to that of approximately $3.41 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Cash equivalents refers to all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturity of three months or less. As of June 30, 2024, Greenland had approximately $17.12 million of cash and cash equivalents, representing a decrease of approximately $5.86 million, or 25.51%, as compared to approximately $22.98 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease of cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to a decrease in short-term bank loans and notes payable, as compared to that as of December 31, 2023.

Restricted cash represents the amount held by a bank as security for bank acceptance notes and therefore is not available for use until the bank acceptance notes are fulfilled or expired, which typically takes less than twelve months. As of June 30, 2024, Greenland had approximately $3.91 million of restricted cash, representing a decrease of approximately $1.30 million, or 25.00%, as compared to that of approximately $5.21 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease of restricted cash was due to a decrease of notes payable.

As of June 30, 2024, Greenland had $30.96 million of notes receivables, which it expects to collect within twelve months. The increase was $3.82 million, or 14.10%, as compared to $27.14 million as of December 31, 2023.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Financial Highlights

Greenland’s revenue was approximately $45.74 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of approximately $0.02 million, or 0.0%, as compared to that of approximately $45.72 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in revenue was primarily a result of the increase of approximately $1.07 million in the Company’s sales volume, driven by increasing market demand of approximately $1.1 million for electric industrial equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2024. On an RMB basis, Greenland’s revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by approximately 4.2% as compared to that for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The decrease in gross margins in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in raw material costs.

Greenland’s cost of goods sold consists primarily of material costs, freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs, wages, employee compensation, amortization, depreciation and related costs, which are directly attributable to the Company’s manufacturing activities. The write down of inventory using the net realizable value impairment test is also recorded in cost of goods sold.
