EAST WINDSOR, N.J., March 26, 2025 /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 audited financial results for the fiscal full year ended December 31, 2024.
Full Year 2024 Financial and Operating Highlights
- Greenland reduced its operating expenses 28%, to $9.9 million for the fiscal full year 2024, compared to $13.8 million for the fiscal full year 2023, demonstrating a strong commitment to cost efficiency.
- Income from operations increased 17%, reaching $12.59 million for the fiscal full year 2024, up from $10.8 million for the fiscal full year 2023, driven by lower operating expenses and enhanced operational performance.
- The Company achieved net income of $15.15 million for the fiscal full year 2024, increased from a net loss of $25.02 million for the fiscal full year 2023.
Raymond Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Greenland Technologies, commented, "While we were impacted by broader market and economic challenges along with our customers, we are definitely encouraged by the relative stability of our revenue and resiliency of our business. We achieved an impressive rebound in profitability, delivering net income of $1.03 per basic and diluted share for the fiscal full year 2024, compared to a loss of $1.20 per basic and diluted share for the fiscal full year 2023, as we work to accelerate more widespread commercialization of our vehicles and product lines. We have both expanded and diversified our product line, which we believe is an important step to strengthen our market position and ability to support customers. In addition to transmission systems and integrated powertrains, our portfolio of electric industrial heavy equipment now includes a wide array of all-electric clean and sustainable alternatives to traditional heavy-emission systems in the industrial heavy equipment industry under the Company's HEVI brand."
"We have now successfully launched seven industrial heavy equipment models, with strong enthusiasm from customers and ecosystem partners. I am also excited to report that HEVI developed and is now selling an exciting new line of direct current ("DC") mobile charging solutions that are designed for easy, flexible and cost-effective charging integration to support a DC-powered electric vehicle fleet at any powered work site. We believe these solutions will create a seamless adoption of HEVI's electric heavy equipment or any compatible DC-powered EV into any existing fleet operation, while creating another revenue stream for the HEVI business. In addition, we believe our manufacturing process is now contributing to greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Specifically, a combination of modern operational and management systems, advanced manufacturing equipment, experienced manufacturing know-how, skilled workforce, and flexible manufacturing system allows us to shorten the time to market for new products. Moreover, the combination allows us to timely adjust product lines in anticipation of changes in market demands, as we drive growth and build greater value for all shareholders."
Jing Jin, Chief Financial Officer of Greenland Technologies, commented, "Our team quickly adjusted to the broader market volatility and took decisive steps to ensure the Company's financial strength and market position. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuation, our revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by approximately 5.6% compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, while we reduced operating expenses by 28% for the fiscal full year 2024. This helped us achieve a remarkable turnaround, with net income of $15.15 million for the fiscal full year 2024 compared to a loss of $25.02 million for the fiscal full year 2023. We remain committed to further strengthening our balance sheet as we continue to invest in our product roadmap, revenue generation capabilities and customer support, to achieve Greenland's long-term strategic objectives."
Fiscal Full Year 2024 Financial Results
Greenland's revenue decreased by approximately $6.39 million, or approximately 7.1%, to approximately $83.94 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, from approximately $90.33 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuation, our revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by approximately 5.6% compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue was primarily a result of the decrease of approximately $6.17 million in the Company's sales volume of transmission products for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The total cost of goods sold decreased by approximately $4.35 million, or approximately 6.6%, to approximately $61.41 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, from approximately $65.76 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Cost of goods sold decreased in fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023 due to the decrease in our sales volume.
Gross profit decreased by approximately $2.04 million, or 8.3%, to approximately $22.53 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, from approximately $24.58 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, Greenland's gross margin was approximately 26.8% and 27.2%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit in fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in our sales volume.
Total operating expenses were $9.94 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, representing a decrease of 28.0% from $13.80 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in the after-sales service fees, research and development expenses and allowance for credit losses in fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023.
Income from operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately $12.59 million, representing an increase of approximately $1.81 million, from approximately $10.78 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Net income was approximately $15.15 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, representing an increase of approximately $40.17 million, from the net loss of approximately $25.02 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Net income per basic and diluted share was $1.03 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to a loss of $1.20 per basic and diluted share for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
As of December 31, 2024, Greenland had approximately $6.66 million of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of approximately $16.32 million, or 71.02%, as compared to approximately $22.98 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease of cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to an increase in short term investment, as compared to that as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, Greenland had approximately $1.95 million of restricted cash, a decrease of approximately $3.26 million, or 62.51%, as compared to approximately $5.21 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease of restricted cash was due to a decrease in notes payable.
As of December 31, 2024, Greenland had approximately $15.80 million of accounts receivables, a decrease of approximately $1.55 million, or 8.96%, as compared to approximately $17.35 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in accounts receivables was due to the decrease in our sales volume.
Greenland's net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $13.34 million and $2.45 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
