Bull points
- Demand remains robust for our industrial EV models, and we are executing our long-term growth strategy.
- we drove a 330 basis point expansion in our growth margin year-over-year to 23.5% during that period and further enhanced our balance sheet with $10 million in proceeds.
- despite losing a month of sales opportunity due to these COVID restrictions, we are still on pace with last year's performance with $49.9 million in revenue compared to $52.8 million in 2021. and $5.6 million in net income this year compared to $5.3 million in the last.
Bear points
- revenue in the first half of 2022 was $49.9 million. The slide decrease from $52.8 million in the prior year reflects that impact of the China's pandemic knockdowns.
- Net income was $5.3 million, a decrease of 5% from $5.6 million in the prior year.
- Q2 has been a challenging quarter for the company. with $20.6 million in revenue generated, representing the first quarter where we did not produce positive year-over-year growth since we became a publicly listed company under NASDAQ in 2019. This decline is primarily attributed to the reinstated COVID restrictions and shutdowns in China that lasted in some cities for over a month. Despite Greenland being lucky to avoid shutdown of our own facilities, some of our key clients were not as lucky and had to close their operations for weeks and in some cases for over a month. This resulted in orders being delayed by client request and ultimately a decline in our Q2 sales and revenue.
