Fiscal Year 2025
-
2025 saw explosive revenue growth and major capacity expansion, with LEV and Hitrans segments driving performance despite margin compression from ramp-up costs. Strategic global partnerships and supply chain localization position the company for record sales in 2026.
-
Revenue grew 36.5% year-over-year to $60.9M, led by a 143.7% surge in Hitrans segment revenue and strong battery demand. Net income rose 150-fold to $2.65M, with new production lines and expansions set to drive further growth.
-
Net revenue fell 15% year-over-year due to a product transition and supply constraints, with net losses of $3.07 million. Hitrans raw materials unit grew revenues by 59% and narrowed losses. Recovery is expected by year-end as new production lines and expansions come online.
-
Q1 2025 saw a 41% revenue drop and a net loss due to a strategic product upgrade and energy storage weakness. Recovery is expected next year with the launch of Model 4135 and a major four-year customer order, supported by new Southeast Asia production.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Battery segment delivered strong profit growth and margin expansion despite a sector downturn, while consolidated results were impacted by raw materials unit underperformance. Major capacity expansions and overseas factory plans are set to drive future growth.
-
Q3 battery revenue declined due to a planned Dalian factory shutdown, but nine-month revenue rose 18.4% year-over-year. Gross margin hit 34.3%, and net profit reached $21.6 million for the period, with strong growth in light electric vehicle batteries, especially in Southeast Asia.
-
Q2 2024 saw record battery sales, with revenue up 60% year-over-year and gross margin reaching 36.3%. Strong order backlog, new product launches, and robust profitability support a positive outlook for the rest of 2024.
