Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
In other words, both our revenue and profitability will maintain robust growth momentum over an extended horizon
[Foreign Language] We are delighted to achieve another outstanding quarter of growth in our battery business
We are proud to stand out as one of the few Chinese battery manufacturers achieving record growth and profitability amidst the current macro economy environment
We are confident in sustaining robust performance and profit growth in the upcoming reporting periods
As the battery business returned to year-over-year growth in the third quarter, we also recorded ongoing improvements in gross margin and operating profit margin
Really impressive performance in light of a challenging operating environment
The growth across our financial metrics was primarily attributed to our strong foundation of key clients, particularly high value clients from Europe and US
Orders from these clients have demonstrated exceptional stability and sustainability
Looking ahead, the company will be empowered by a twin engine growth model, an impressive 36 gigawatt hour production capacity of lithium batteries and a remarkable 10 gigawatt hour production capacity of sodium ion batteries matrix
This was underpinned by a sharp increase in the contribution of our higher margin battery business and a reduction in the cost of revenues as we further leveraged our technology to improve production efficiency
So we believe that once the industry recovers, Hitrans will improve their financial performance sharply
With our increased visibility and enhanced reputation worldwide, our order volume continued to rise
We will elevate our production expectancy and further propel top line growth
We also made great strides in our partnership with JinPeng Group, the largest manufacturer of scooters and electric tricycles worldwide generating orders amounting to roughly RMB63.59 million
In addition, our net revenue from batteries in the third quarter was $44.3 million, representing a strong growth of 71.5% from the same period in 2022
And in that case, it will put us in a better position to cater to the demand of our customers
And we also believe that this will all contribute to our further sales growth
Our remarkable performance have garnered substantial interest from equity investors who have reached out to us regarding our latest developments
Alongside growing number of orders for our battery products, we will continue to find the right balance between growth and profitability, while investing in R&D and production capacity expansion to enhance our sustainable long-term competitiveness
And actually they started their pilot production here and the results turned out to be great
And that also lead to the growth of our sales volume and because that we also have developed some new customers who also contribute to the growth of our sales
So, as you can say, as you can say there are a lot of investors getting interested in Hitrans and we believe that once industry recovers, they will be good
Our gross margin for the battery business in the third quarter was 26.4%, an increase of 17.7 percentage points from 8.7% in the same period of 2022
Of these revenues $42.81 million came from batteries using energy storge applications, a surge of 73.5% year-over-year , while $0.4 million came from batteries used in electric vehicles, an increase of 19.5 times year-over-year
Hence I wish to highlight that we will have great to offer long capacity next year to address the current overwhelming current demand
For the first nine months of 2023, our battery business generated revenues of $96.16 million, an increase of 44.43% year-over-year, while delivering an operating income of $6.15 million, along with a net income of $6.75 million
Our net revenue for the third quarter was $63.4 million, representing an increase of 9.9%, compared to $57.7 million in the same period of 2022
That is why we are excited to export further to Europe, United States, Japan and India
So we also believe that this will bring in more sales volumes in the future
Gross profit in the third quarter was $12.2 million, representing an increase of 264% from $3.5 million in the same period of 2022
