CEO and CFO Remarks
Mr. Raymond Wang, CEO of Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation, commented, “We have once again achieved a record quarter with revenue generated of $28.2 million representing a 70% revenue growth and 42,046 transmissions sold representing a 44% increase on a year over year basis. We are benefitting from strong demand as forklifts are the ultimate necessity for clients moving raw materials, components, and finished goods through a global supply chain to meet accelerating growth.”
Mr. Wang continued, “Our team continues to do an excellent job supporting the growing markets with operational excellence and innovative solutions. Our latest electric GEF-series lithium powered forklifts offer all the competitive advantages of lithium, with longer battery life and reduced maintenance costs, as compared to traditional lead acid and propane forklifts. With deliveries starting by September in the North America market we expect this to be additive to second half of 2021 revenue and our longer-term results. This line will be promptly followed by our industry disruptive GEL-1800, an all electric 1.8T rated front loader, and GEX-8000, an all electric 8.0T rated load excavator. We are pleased with our progress to date, but even more excited about Greenland’s future, as we expand our global business and build shareholder value.”
Mr. Jing Jin, Greenland Technologies’ Chief Financial Officer commented: “In the first half of 2021, we generated a total revenue of $52.8 million and net income of $5.6 million, doubling the revenue and tripling net income from the previous year. Our gross margin was 20.2% in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 280 basis points from the second quarter of last year. These strong financial results demonstrate our market leading position to satisfy growing demands for high quality transmission products and our ability to navigate supply chain challenges. In June, we successfully raised $7 million for the strategic execution of new electric vehicle products launched in the U.S. With strong cash flow and a track record for delivering excellent revenue results, we are well positioned to lead in commercial vehicle electrification.”

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues were $28.2 million, an increase of approximately 70.1% year-over-year. The increase was primarily due to the significant increase in our sales volume resulting from the continuously growing market demand and the ability to boost supplies while some peers met challenges in handling material shortage and were unable to deliver. The number of transmission products sold increased 43.6% to 42,046 units from 29,281 units in the second quarter of 2020.
2
Costs of Goods Sold
Costs of goods sold were $22.5 million, an increase of 64.3% from $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales volume and the increase in raw material prices.
Gross profit
Gross profit was $5.7 million, an increase of 98.0% from $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2020.
Gross margin was 20.2%, up 2.8 percentage points from 17.4% in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to a shift in the product mix towards the higher value and more sophisticated products such as hydraulic transmission products.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses were $2.3 million, up 84.1% from $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2020. Operating expense as a percentage of total revenues was 8.0%, an increase of 0.6 percentage points compared to 7.4% in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the increase in sales and labor costs year-over-year.
| ● | Selling expenses were $0.50 million, an<br>increase of 62.7% from $0.30 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the unit price of transportation<br>expenses. |
|---|---|
| ● | General and administration expenses were<br>$0.75 million, an increase of 69.6% from $0.44 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to the expiration<br>of the Chinese government’s policy related to the Covid-19 relief. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Research and development expenses were<br>$1.0 million, an increase of 111.4% from $0.48 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the<br>R&D investment in higher value and more sophisticated products and electrification products. |
