Mr. Qizhou Wu, Chief Executive Officer of CAAS, commented, “We are pleased to report sales growth for both the third quarter
and the nine-month periods. Our third quarter’s solid performance was driven by a noteworthy 43.5% year-over-year increase in sales
of Electric Power Steering (“EPS”) products, now accounting for almost 40.0% of our total sales. Additionally, sales of traditional
steering products in the domestic Chinese passenger vehicle market climbed by 29.6% year-over-year, despite a slower industry growth environment.
We are also pleased to see our commercial vehicle market sales rebounded with a 10.5% increase this quarter. Domestic sales were buoyed
by the vehicle replacement cycle and subsidy policies. All business units, with the exception of North America, reported sales growth
in the third quarter of 2024.”
“According
to statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, overall automobile sales in China increased by 2.1% year-over-year
in the first nine months of 2024 with passenger car sales up by 3.0% and commercial vehicle sales lower by 1.6%. Sales of new energy
vehicles increased by 32.5% and Chinese vehicle exports rose by 27.3% for the first nine months of 2024.”
“Given
our recent financial performance and positive outlook, our shareholders were rewarded with a special cash dividend of $0.80 per common
share in August of 2024. Also in August 2024, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our NASDAQ listing,” Mr. Wu concluded.
Mr. Jie
Li, Chief Financial Officer of CAAS, commented, “We continued to maintain a strong balance sheet with cash and cash equivalents
plus pledged cash of $138.8 million, despite spending $9.3 million on cash dividends to shareholders and investing $18.3 million in property,
plant and equipment in the first nine months of 2024. At September 30th, working capital was $156.6 million and positive
cash flow from operations increased by almost 54.0% year-over-year in the first nine months of 2024. We remain well positioned in our
markets for long-term growth.”
Third Quarter of 2024
Net
sales increased by 19.4% year-over-year to $164.2 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $137.5 million in the third quarter
of 2023. Net sales of traditional steering products and parts increased by 7.4% year-over-year to $98.6 million for the third quarter
of 2024, compared to $91.8 million for the same quarter in 2023. Net sales of EPS products rose 43.5% year-over-year to $65.6 million
from $45.7 million for the same period in 2023. EPS product sales grew to 39.9% of the total net sales for the third quarter of
2024, compared to 33.2% for the same period in 2023. Sales of Henglong’s passenger vehicle steering systems increased by 29.6% and
sales to Chery Auto rose by 12.4% due to higher demand. Sales to the commercial vehicle markets increased by 10.5%. Export sales to North
American customers decreased to $18.7 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $27.6 million in the third quarter of 2023. North
American sales declined primarily due to decreased demand from one customer. Sales in Brazil were $14.3 million in the third quarter of
2024, compared to $13.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. Net product sales for other entities rose 23.4% to $35.2 million compared
to $28.5 million for the third quarter in 2023.
Gross
profit grew by 6.5% year-over-year to $26.4 million from $24.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. Gross margin was 16.0% in
the third quarter of 2024 compared to 18.0% in the third quarter of 2023. The change in gross margin was mainly due to the changes in
the product mix for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Gain
on other sales was $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Selling
expenses increased by 14.6% year-over-year to $4.4 million compared to $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. This expense increase
was primarily due to higher warehouse and logistic costs related to the increased revenue. Selling expenses represented 2.7% of net sales
in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 2.8% in the third quarter of 2023.
General
and administrative expenses (“G&A expenses”) decreased by 17.0% year-over-year to $5.1 million, compared to $6.1
million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to the reversal of bad debt provisions for receivables. G&A expenses represented
3.1% of net sales in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 4.4% of net sales in the third quarter of 2023.
Research
and development expenses (“R&D expenses”) decreased by 7.1% year-over-year to $6.4 million compared to $6.9 million in
the third quarter of 2023. This decrease was related to lower R&D miscellaneous expenses caused by a reduction
in R&D activities for new projects. R&D expenses represented 3.9% of net sales in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 5.0%
in the third quarter of 2023.
Other
income was $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, which is stable compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
2023.
Income
from operations was $11.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, a nearly 10.0% increase compared to $10.2 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2023.
Interest
expense was $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Net
financial expense was $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to net financial income of $0.2 million in the third
quarter of 2023. The change in net financial expense/income primarily resulted from an increase in the foreign exchange losses due to
the foreign exchange volatility.
Income
before income tax expenses and equity in earnings of affiliated companies was $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to
income before income tax expenses and equity in earnings of affiliated companies of $11.2 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Income
tax expense was $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $0.7 million for the third quarter
of 2023, primarily due to a one-time income tax expense settlement for the subsidiaries in the PRC and an increase
in the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax expenses.
Net
income attributable to parent company’s common shareholders was $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to net
income attributable to parent company’s common shareholders of $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. Diluted earnings per share
was $0.18 in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $0.31 per share in the third quarter of 2023.
The weighted
average number of diluted common shares outstanding was 30,185,702 in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 30,189,363 in the third quarter
of 2023.
First
Nine Months of 2024
Net
sales increased by 10.8% year-over-year to $462.2 million in the first nine months of 2024, compared to $417.2 million in the first nine
months of 2023 primarily due to an increase in sales of both traditional steering and EPS products.
Nine-month gross profit increased by 15.4% year-over-year to $79.7 million from $69.1 million in the corresponding period last year. Nine-month
gross margin increased to 17.2% from 16.6% in the first nine months of 2023. Gain on other sales was $2.8 million in the first nine months
of 2024, compared to $3.6 million in the corresponding period last year. Income from operations increased by 22.9% year-over-year to $31.6
million in the first nine months of 2024 from $25.7 million in the first nine months of 2023.
