JINHUA, China, Aug. 11, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Kandi") (Nasdaq: KNDI ), today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014.
Financial Highlights:
- Revenue for the second quarter grew 171.1% to $32.96 million from $12.16 million in the second quarter last year;
- Electric Vehicle ("EV") products revenue increased by 552.1% to $13.25 million as compared to $2.03 million in the second quarter of 2013;
- Gross profit of $7.22 million for the second quarter was up 157.2% from $2.81 million in the second quarter last year;
- Operating income rose 261.0% to $2.64 million from $0.73 million in the second quarter of 2013;
- The JV Company sold 4,114 EV products during the second quarter of 2014, a 238% increase from 1,215 EV products sold in the first quarter of 2014;
- GAAP net income for the second quarter was $11.16 million, or $0.27 per fully diluted share, an increase of 1168.4% from a net loss of $1.04 million, or ($0.03) per fully diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013;
- *Non-GAAP adjusted net income in the second quarter, which excludes the stock award expense and the change in the fair value of financial derivatives, was $3.22 million, or approximately $.08 per fully diluted shares, a 4,269.6% increase from net income of $73,785 for the same period of 2013;
"Our strong performance in the second quarter reflects sustained strong market demand for electric vehicles in China, especially our positive momentum in the Hangzhou Public EV Sharing System (the 'Car-Share' Project) and Group Long-Term Leasing Program ('Group Leasing'). The Car-Share Project has become one of most preferred business models for EV development in China. Such model is expected to be expanded into other major Chinese cities." Commented by Mr. Hu Xiaoming, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kandi Technologies, "We are also pleased to see that the Chinese government has recently unveiled a series of aggressive new policies and incentives, such as EV sales tax break for consumers, government subsidy for manufactures and consumers, favorable electricity rate for EV users and incentive for building EV charging/parking infrastructure, to stimulate the electric car sales. All of those favorable policies are Chinese government's determination to reach 500,000 New Energy Vehicles (NEV) productions by 2015 and 2 million NEV productions by 2020, while only 20,000 NEV were produced and sold in China in the first half in 2014, according to the information from the Ministry of Industrial and Information Technology ('MIIT')."
"Being one of earlier movers in the Chinese EV industry, Kandi has just begun to enjoy the benefits from the favorable market trend as well as our company's strategy shift to focus on Chinese EV segment in recent two years. With the robust EV sales growth ahead of us, our management team will continue to work diligently to capture market share, refine our innovative business model, assist our partners in building out EV charging/parking infrastructure, improve corporate disclosure and investors communication, and deliver strong financial performance for our long-term shareholders," Mr. Hu concluded.
*Non-GAAP measures, including the Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP EPS are defined as the financial measures excluding the change of the fair value of financial derivatives and the effects of the stock award expense. We supply non-GAAP information because we believe it allows our investors to obtain a clearer understanding of our operations. Any non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, and should only be read in conjunction with, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
