JINHUA, CHINA, Aug. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “Kandi”) (NASDAQ GS: KNDI), today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2021.

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Total revenues increased by 53.7% to $29.9 million, from $19.4 million in the same period of 2020.

  • EV parts sales were $6.7 million, compared to $12.5 million in the same period of 2020.

  • Off-road vehicles sales were $5.5 million, compared to $6.6 million in the same period of 2020.

  • Electric Scooters, Electric Self-Balancing Scooters and associated parts sales were $16.5 million, compared to $0.4 million in the same period of 2020, This growth represents a successful strategic initiative to sell intelligent transportation products after the COVID-19 outbreak seriously impacted the EV market in 2020.

  • Battery exchange equipment and battery exchange service sales were $0.6 million. As a new business, there was no such revenue in the same period of 2020.

  • Gross margin was 20.4%, compared to 18.2% for the same period of 2020.

  • Net income was $40.9 million, or $0.54 per fully diluted share primarily due to a gain on the disposal of a long-live asset recognized as part of our Jinhua facility relocation that was completed in the second quarter. This compares to a net income of $4.1 million, or $0.08 per fully diluted share for the same period of 2020.

  • As of June 30, 2021, working capital was $297.3 million. Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and certificate of deposit totaled $202.4 million.

1 Includes cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and certificate of deposit.

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.”
