HIGHWAYHOLDINGS REPORTS FISCAL 2023 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

HONGKONG —July 25, 2022 — Highway Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: HIHO) today reported results for its fiscal 2023 first quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Net sales for the fiscal 2023 first quarter were $2.94 million compared with $2.99 million a year earlier. Net income for the same period was $390,000, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with $333,000, $0.08 per diluted share, a year ago.

“Results for fiscal first quarter benefited from financial assistance provided by the Chinese and Hong Kong governments to off-set some of the costs we incurred as a result of COVID-related required shutdowns that impacted the company’s operations in prior periods,” said Roland Kohl, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Highway Holdings.

Kohl added that as long as the Chinese government continues its “zero” COVID policy with frequent shutdowns impacting operations of the company, comparisons with prior periods may not be appropriate, nor may current operations be predictive of future operating activities. The company’s operations also are negatively impacted by these COVID policies that restrict the services and business of the company’s suppliers, customers, and logistic providers.

Gross profit for the 2023 fiscal first quarter was $1,052,000 compared with $930,000 in the same quarter a year ago, with gross profit as a percentage of sales approximately 35.7 percent compared with 31 percent a year ago – representing a 4.7 percent improvement compared with last year. This improvement primarily reflects the benefit of reduced rental expenses provided by the Chinese government to offset the impact of shutdowns in prior periods. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2023 fiscal first quarter increased slightly by $70,000.

The company realized a small currency exchange gain of $18,000 in the quarter compared with an exchange loss of $7,000 in the same period last year, primarily due to weakness in the RMB during the period.
