Mr. Hu Xiaoming, Chairman and CEO of Kandi commented: “We are excited to see both strong revenue growth and profitability. Last year, as the Covid-19 pandemic impacted our EV business, we undertook a strategic initiative to find new markets for our industry-leading technology. This pivot to new markets is proved successful, as you can see by our strong growth in intelligent mobility sector and associated parts. Furthermore, we are with our operating cash flow as robust because we received final payments for the Jinhua Facility relocation. The vacated old factory property met the inspection authorities’ stipulated conditions, it was returned to the government, and we received the agreed payments. With this cash inflow, our balance sheet is even stronger for pursuing the multiple growth opportunities we see ahead of us.”
Elaborating on Kandi’s commitment to R&D, Hu elaborated, “As we noted last quarter, there are significant growth opportunities in affordable short-distance EVs for the China market, and in UTVs for the U.S. market. In May, we unveiled the K32 premium UTV, which is produced at our factory in Hainan, China. The K32 features pure electric four-wheel-drive propulsion and a fully enclosed cockpit with air conditioning. We intend to sell the K32 in the U.S. by the end of this year.”
Turning to acquisitions, Hu commented, “Last month, we announced the acquisition of Jiangxi Huiyi, which pushes us further into the battery cell business. Jiangxi Huiyi is a leading battery cell producer with intelligent production lines that each day can manufacture approximately 250,000 units of 18650 lithium-ion rechargeable cells. Today, the cells are implemented in various consumer applications. Equipped with this technology, Kandi will now focus on EV battery packs as well as other appropriate consumer products.”
