  • Transmissions products sold were 75,097 units, an increase of 6% from 70,841 units a year ago.

"We are pleased to deliver strong second quarter results as our core markets in China have largely returned to a new-normal following years of COVID disruptions", said Mr. Raymond Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Greenland Technologies. "Demand for our transmission products increased significantly from the second quarter of last year and drove revenue growth of 14%. On a constant currency basis, our revenue growth was even stronger at 19% year-over-year, after excluding the impact of FX. Further, our strategic focus on higher value products continued to pay off and drove our gross margin to improve nearly 600 basis points to 29.4%, which is a record high for us over the last few years. Looking into the second half of the year, we expect demand to remain strong and we continue to anticipate revenue growth for our core transmission business in 2023."

Mr. Jing Jin, Chief Financial Officer of Greenland, commented: "Improved demand and product mix in the second quarter drove strong financial results across almost every metric. Notably, our net income to grew 24% year-over-year and we ended the quarter with $15.2 million of cash, up nearly 400% from a year ago. These impressive results demonstrate our leading position in the industry and the effectiveness of our business strategies. Going forward, we will continue to leverage our core strengths and execute growth strategies to bolster our core transmission business while also expanding our HEVI division."

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $23.6 million, an increase of 14% from $20.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, due to the increase in the Company's sales volume of its transmission products. On an RMB basis, excluding the impact of FX, revenue increased approximately 19% from the second quarter of 2022. The number of transmission products sold was 38,256 units, an increase of 32% from 28,939 in the second quarter of 2022. 

Costs of goods sold were $16.6 million, an increase of 6% from $15.8 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the increase in sales volume.

Gross profit was $6.9 million, an increase of 43% from $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2022. Gross margin was 29.4%, up 590 basis points from 23.5% in the second quarter of 2022, resulting from a strategic shift in Greenland's product mix towards higher value and sophistication products such as hydraulic transmissions.

Total operating expenses were $3.5 million, an increase of 34% from $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the Company's focus on R&D investment as well as advertising, marketing, general and administrative activities related to its expansion, along with higher shipping fees.

Income from operations was $3.4 million, an increase of 54% from $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2022. 

Net income was $2.9 million, an increase of 24% from $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share were both $0.18, an increase of 38% from $0.13 per ordinary share in the second quarter of 2022.

First Half 2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $45.7 million, a decrease of 8% from $49.9 million in the first half of 2022, primarily due to logistical and supply chain challenges in the first quarter from 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. Revenue was also impacted by a stronger dollar relative to the Chinese RMB. On an RMB basis, excluding the impact of FX, revenue decreased approximately 2% from the first half of 2022. The number of transmission products sold was 75,097 units, an increase of 6% from 70,841 units in the first half of 2022. 

Costs of goods sold were $33.3 million, a decrease of 14% from $38.7 million in the first half of 2022, primarily due to the decrease in sales.

Gross profit was $12.5 million, an increase of 11% from $11.2 million in the first half of 2022. Gross margin was 27.2%, up 470 basis points from 22.5% in the first half of 2022, resulting from a strategic shift in Greenland's product mix towards higher value and sophistication products such as hydraulic transmissions.

Total operating expenses were $6.7 million, an increase of 18% from $5.6 million in the first half of 2022. The Company has focused on R&D investment and general and administrative activities related to the Company's expansion, which offset the decrease in after-sales service fees. 

Income from operations was $5.8 million, an increase of 4% from $5.6 million in the first half of 2022. 

Net income was $5.4 million, a slight increase of 2% from $5.3 million in the first half of 2022.

Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share were both $0.3, up 3% from $0.29 per ordinary share in the first half of 2022.
