Greenland Technologies Reports Third Quarter 2022 Unaudited Financial Results

3Q22 Net Income Increases 67% Compared to 3Q21

EAST WINDSOR, N.J., Nov. 9, 2022 /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 third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial and Operating Highlights

  • Total revenue was $21.8 million, compared with $23.1 million a year ago.
  • Gross margin was 22.1%, on par with the same period of 2021.  
  • Total operating expenses was $2.7 million, 10% lower from a year ago due to improved operating efficiencies.
  • Net income was $2.1 million, an increase of 67% from $1.3 million in the same period of 2021.
  • Transmissions products sold were 31,303 units, slightly higher than 31,050 units last year.

Mr. Raymond Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation, commented, “While we are not immune to the ongoing global supply chain challenges, inflationary pressures and lockdowns in China, we made significant progress in the areas that will drive our long-term growth and build value for shareholders. For example, we are firmly on track with our capacity plans for the U.S., and we are seeing an improvement in the supply chain with lower freight costs and speed.  We are also benefitting from the full support of Maryland’s local and state level officials after formally opening our new Baltimore facility. They share in our leadership vision of the opportunities for electrification of industrial vehicles and the positive economic impact from job creation, related commerce and positives for the environment.  This represents a significant opportunity for Greenland and the communities we operate in.”

“We are also pleased with the additional innovation and further development with our strategic partners of new features for our vehicles that not only differentiate our HEVI brand but add premium value for our customers, including tracking now available with vehicle purchase. This is an essential selling point as operators laser focus on fleet ROI and asset utilization. Overall, we continue to benefit from several Greenland-specific catalysts. We are entering Q4 with a solid backlog and expect our results to more accurately reflect our business fundamentals as we move through 2023 and current headwinds become tailwinds. Longer-term we continue to make steady progress toward our ambitious goals, including the ramping our new U.S. assembly facility. This will serve as a powerful, high visibility showcase for our vehicles, which we expect will drive sales by helping us convert customer interest into orders when they see our innovative vehicles in person.” 

Mr. Jing Jin, Chief Financial Officer of Greenland, commented: “Our third quarter revenue was negatively impacted by the stronger dollar. Excluding FX impact, our revenue in Chinese RMB actually grew 2% year-over-year.  During Q3, we also improved our operating efficiency by streamlining and simplifying our product lines, which led to a 10% decrease in our operating expenses and contributed to our 67% increase in net income. Looking ahead, we will continue to manage operating expenses closely as we shift our focus towards ramping up HEVI production capacity and deployment capabilities.”

Recent Developments and Strategic Highlights:

  • Launched Vehicle Tracking System: Greenland selected Cyngn Inc. (“Cyngn”) (Nasdaq: CYN), a developer of innovative autonomous driving solutions for industrial and commercial applications, as the exclusive supplier of Infinitracker asset tracking systems for the Company’s HEVI electric industrial vehicles. The Infinitrackers will enable HEVI vehicle consumers to track their vehicle locations through a simple web portal.
  • Launch of Assembly Site in Baltimore, Maryland: Greenland opened a 54,000 square foot assembly facility in Baltimore, Maryland to support local service, assembly, and distribution of its electric industrial heavy equipment product line. The Company anticipates this facility will be able to produce over 500 units a year and create 4 to 5 dozen green jobs at full capacity.
  • Siemens EV Chargers Compatible with HEVI Products: HEVI electric products has successfully tested compatible with Siemens’s EV charging station network at their site in Wendell, NC.  This is the start of a campaign to ensure HEVI compatibility with all major EV charging station providers in the US.
  • Closed $10 Million Registered Direct and Private Placement: Greenland raised $10.0 million via a registered offering and a private placement with Aegis Capital Corp as the placement agent. This transaction significantly strengthen Greenland’s balance sheet and the Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
